1
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Kids Short Stories. Today's story comes from Gavin. Hey, Gavin,

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: he left us a message on the Anchor app under

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: our profile, which is a way that you can send

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: us your story ideas. And you can do that on

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: an Apple podcast or on the Anchor video message. You

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: can tell us your name and your idea for a story.

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: And that's what Gavin did. So let's jump right into

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: his story. Let's go one day, while Gavin was stuck

9
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: at home because of the coronavirus. Is anyone else stuck

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: at home like Gavin and all of us? Yeah, he

11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: was kind of bored, and so he had an idea, Oh,

12
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if any of the Spike Kids team if

13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: they need help, and if there's a way that I

14
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: can help them. And so he started texting the Spy

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Kids and and asked if there was any issues or

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: problems going on, and the Spy Kids team said, Gavin,

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: we need your help. There is a lost parrot and

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: dog stuck in the jungle in your backyard. Gavin couldn't

19
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: believe it. There was a parrot and a dog in

20
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: his backyard in a rainforest. What he couldn't believe it.

21
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: But since it came from the Spy Kids. It must

22
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: be true. And so he put on his boots, a

23
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: jacket and a hat, and out he went. He couldn't

24
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: leave his backyard because the coronavirus. But there was wait

25
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: a second. He looked around and m hmm. He didn't

26
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: see a rainforest in his backyard. What what where could

27
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: it be? He wondered, And so he texted the Spy

28
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: Kids team and said, guys, I really I'm not sure

29
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. There's nothing in my backyard. There's

30
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: no parrot or a dog. Nope, I don't see it.

31
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: And they responded, they said, you gotta wear the spyglasses.

32
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: The spy goggles. They help you see things that are

33
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: really hard to see, and so you gotta put them on.

34
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: So that's what Gavin did. He put his spy goggles on,

35
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh. When he put on the spy goggles,

36
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: he was in the middle of a rainforest. Oh my gosh,

37
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: right now, if there's any glasses or goggles around, put

38
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: them on. Put them on right now, hurry and Gavin

39
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: put the goggles on. Can you see it? Just like Gavin?

40
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he was surrounded by these giant trees

41
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: and monkeys were jumping around, and he was in the

42
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: middle of a rainforest. Have you guys ever been in

43
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the middle of a rainforest? Yeah, this is our first

44
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: time too. It's kind of crazy. And so he started

45
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: to explore. Oh my gosh, where Okay, we had to

46
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: look for clues. What were the two things that the

47
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: spy kids said needed help? Yeah? Parrot and a dog.

48
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: What's a parrot? Does anyone know what a parrot is?

49
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: It's a bird? Okay, Like what kind of color? What

50
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: colors are they? Red? Blue, and yellow, green? They have

51
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of colors. Yeah, and a dog. Hold on,

52
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: there's lots of different kinds of dogs, but there's probably

53
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: not many dogs in the rainforest. So let's start looking.

54
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: Gavin started looking all over the ringing forest in his backyard,

55
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: and pretty soon he heard something talking in the trees

56
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: said hello, Hello, Hello. He said, what in the world

57
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: is that Hello? Hello? My name's Polly. Oh my gosh,

58
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: is that a parent? Com parrots talk? Are you serious?

59
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: They can talk? That's crazy? Oh my gosh. And so

60
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: Gavin slowly walked towards this tree, and way up high

61
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: there was a parrot, and he said I'm really scared.

62
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm way too high. Somebody helped me. Gavin didn't know

63
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: what to do. He oh, my gosh, he can't climon

64
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: that tree. It's way too dull. But oh gosh, who

65
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: is gonna save that parrot? I thought parrots could fly,

66
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe this one's like hurt or he's afraid

67
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: of being too high. I don't I'm not sure, but

68
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: this is kinda new crazy. Oh. Kevin had an idea. Parrots,

69
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: do you know what their favorite food is? They really

70
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: like crackers, And so he ran inside and got a

71
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: Graham cracker. Maybe maybe the parrot will like it, And

72
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: so he laid it on the ground and said, hey,

73
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: mr parrot, I have a cracker. Come on down. It's

74
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: too high. I don't know how to get down. The

75
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: parrots said, it's okay, mr parrot. Um, you see that

76
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: branch below you. Why don't you just try hopping down,

77
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: one branch at a time, down the tree, very slowly,

78
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: and if you fall, I will catch you. Gavin said, okay,

79
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: and the parrots started to hop down very carefully and slowly,

80
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: one branch at a time. Pretty soon, man, he thank you.

81
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: The parrot said thank you, and he got on the

82
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: ground and gobbled up that yummy cracker. Gavin said, all right,

83
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: Mr parrot, I need your help. I'm glad that you're safe,

84
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: but I heard that there's a dog that needs some

85
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: help too. Can you help me find it? Absolutely, And

86
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: the parrot and Gavin started to look around and say, here, puppy, puppy,

87
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: where are you? And in the distance they heard, oh,

88
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: they're getting close. And so I kept hiking through the

89
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: ring forest and oh, my gosh, there it is. There

90
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: was a puppy and his Oh no, his paw was

91
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: stuck in some logs, in some wood. And the puppy

92
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: barked said what's what's what? What's what? Oh no, that

93
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: must he's really stuck. We gotta help him, Mr parrot.

94
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Can you uh, oh, you have a really strong beak, right, Ye? Yes,

95
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: I do, yes, I do. Great. Well, why don't you

96
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: use your beak and try to like peck at the

97
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: wood to make a hole for the dog to get

98
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: his foot out of there. Maybe that'll work, okay, okay,

99
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: And the parrots started to peck peck, peck, peck, and

100
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: he kept packing, and pretty soon he popped a hole

101
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: right in the log and the dog's foot popped out. Hooray,

102
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Gavin had saved the day. He saved both the parrot

103
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: and the dog in the middle of the rainforest. Wow,

104
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: what an amazing day. And wait a second, maybe he

105
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: can bring his friends home. Oh man, I hope. So

106
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: and so he brought the parrot and the dog up

107
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: to the door and said, Mom, Dad, look, I saved
