1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Short Stories Today. Story comes to us from one of

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: my friends, Demi. Hey, Demmi, she sent us an awesome

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: idea for a story, and you can do this side

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: over the kid short stories dot com. Send me your

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure.

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: Are you ready to hear the story about a cupcake monster?

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: Me too, let's go. Hey mom, is it gonna be

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: a nice day today? Asked Demi. Her mom reached for

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: her phone and opened up the weather app and yeah, yeah,

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: it looks like it's gonna be nice and partly sunny,

12
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: little cloudy, which that's nice, and a nice warm day. Yeah,

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a perfect day. Why do you think

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: we could do a big sale? Oh that's a fun idea, Demi. Yeah,

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: let's totally do that. Do you know what a bake

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: sale is? Bake sales are kind of like lemonade stands,

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: except instead of selling lemonade, you make delicious things like

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: cupcakes and cookies and rice crispy treats and everything that

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: you can imagine that is delicious, and people buy those things.

20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: It's a really fun thing to do. And Demi is

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: an amazing cook. She loves to make cookies and cupcakes

22
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: and everything delicious, but cupcakes are definitely the thing that

23
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: she's best at. Her cupcakes are almost world famous. If

24
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: you were to taste Demis cupcakes, you would want to

25
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: eat ten thousand more because they're so good. Well, she

26
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: checked her pantry for all the ingredients just to make

27
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: sure that they had enough, and there was some enough

28
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: for a batch or two, but not enough to do

29
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: a whole bake sale. Alright, Demi said her mom. Why

30
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: don't we start baking with what we have now, and

31
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: then I'll run to the store and get some more

32
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: ingredients and then we can bake some more cupcakes. Sounds great,

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: said Demi. They both started putting all the ingredients together,

34
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: which there was a secret recipe for these cupcakes, that's

35
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: how good they are. And as they were putting them

36
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: all together, they put them in the oven and as

37
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: the cupcakes started to rise, oh, it smelled so good.

38
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Can you close your eyes and imagine the smell of

39
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: some delicious fresh cupcakes as they're nice and warm and sweet,

40
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: and oh boy, I gotta stop talking about these cupcakes. Well,

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: as Demi and her mom took the cupcakes out of

42
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: the oven, the first batch of many more. Oh, they

43
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: smelled so good. She started to decorate them one by one.

44
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Each cupcake was a unique decoration. Different colors of frosting

45
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: and sprinkles and toppings made them all each unique. Wow,

46
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: these are gonna taste so good. Demi was really proud

47
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: of herself. These were some of the best cupcakes that

48
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: she'd ever made, and she couldn't wait to make more.

49
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: All right, Demmi, I will be right back, okay, and

50
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: then we'll finish making the rest of the cupcakes. Her

51
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: mom ran to the store and Demi was there to

52
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: finish decorating the cupcakes that they had, and all of

53
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, one of the cupcakes took a tumble, like

54
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: a big tumble. It broke on the floor. Oh no,

55
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: said Demi. She reached down and picked up the cupcake

56
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: and that one was ruined. So I guess we'll have

57
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: to eat that one. But as she picked it up

58
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and set it back on the counter, there was a

59
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: big pile of crumbs on the floor. And uh, I

60
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: gotta get the broom. Demi ran over to the closet

61
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: to get the broom In the dustpan and by the

62
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: time she got back to clean up the mess. Wait,

63
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: the mess was already cleaned up. The crumbs had vanished.

64
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: Wait a second, Wait, did Demi's brothers eat him off

65
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: the floor? Like? Where was it a creature? Wait? Her

66
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: brothers are kind of like creatures. Um, I don't know.

67
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: That's very strange. Demi couldn't figure it out where those

68
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: crumbs could have magically gone and just like ten seconds,

69
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: because they definitely didn't have like invisible cleaning fairies that

70
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: would have cleaned it up. This is a mystery. Demi

71
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: needed to put on all of her spy gear to

72
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: figure out this mystery because something strange was going on.

73
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: As she ran up stair is to get all of

74
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: her spy gear magnifying glass and fingerprinting kit and everything,

75
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: she came back downstairs to start looking. Mm hm, nothing,

76
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: nothing out of the ordinary. All of her the rest

77
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: of her family weren't nearby, so it couldn't have been them.

78
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Must have been something. Oh no, do you think a

79
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: mouse is an ear? I don't like mice, Demi thought

80
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: to herself. She jumped on top of the counter in

81
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: the kitchen. She didn't want a mouse to run over

82
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: her foot. Oh dear, that would be really gross. Have

83
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: you ever had a mouse run over your foot? Me? Neither,

84
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: But I can imagine. I can definitely imagine that that

85
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: would not be a fun thing to experience. And Demi

86
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: didn't want that to happen either. But as she was

87
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: sitting on top of the counter, she heard a sound.

88
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: What was that? It came from underneath, like from inside

89
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: the cabinet. It happened again. Oh no, what do I do?

90
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: What do I do? Demi was getting very worried. Was

91
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: she going to be stuck on that counter forever? Because

92
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: there's no way that she's gonna jump down there. There

93
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: could be some kind of monster under there. Oh wait, no,

94
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: a spice. We gotta choose to be brave. I can

95
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: do this. I just gotta count to three, one, two three.

96
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: As soon as she said three, Demi hopped off the

97
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: counter and she looked right at the cabinet. All right,

98
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: I gotta see what's in there. She opened up the

99
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: door and showing a flashlight inside, and there it was.

100
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: It was a not so giant It was a very small, pink,

101
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: fluffy star. Demi started to laugh a little bit as

102
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: the creature looked right at her and blinked one eyeball. Yes,

103
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: it was a pink, fluffy creature. This a little bigger

104
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: than a mouse, but it only had one big eye.

105
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: He had four arms and one two, three, four, five,

106
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: six seven eight wow, eight feet or kind of like dentacles,

107
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: kind of like an octopus, but not an octopus. And wow,

108
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: it smells exactly like chocolate cupcakes. Why, hello there, thank

109
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: you for the cupcake earlier. That was absolutely delicious. Oh

110
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't you that ate all that the crumbs on

111
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: the floor, Yes, it was I loved it. Could I

112
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: have some? Ar um? Well? I was making these for

113
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: a bake sale. But what's your name? I? You can

114
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: call me Pinky. I'm a cupcake assaurus. What's a cupcake asaurus? Well,

115
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: you see, wee, I love cupcakes. I only eat cupcakes,

116
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: and I've been smelling all of your baking and it's

117
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: absolutely delicious. And so when I saw the grubs, I

118
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: knew that that was my chance, and they were so good.

119
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Can I have more? Please? Um? Okay? DEMI reached for

120
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: another piece of the cupcake and handed it to this

121
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: new fluffy, pink friend of hers, and all right, well,

122
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm about to make some more. Um, do you want

123
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: to help with the bake sale? What do you mean

124
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: help with the bake sale? I people don't like me.

125
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm very scary looking and everyone always screams when they

126
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: see me. But why didn't you scream? Well, it kind

127
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: of scared me a little bit at first because I

128
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: didn't know that there was like a real creature in

129
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: the cabinet. But yeah, I can see that you're not

130
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: mean and you just like cupcakes a lot, so we

131
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: could totally be friends. You want to be friends with me?

132
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: Pinky was very excited. I don't think he's ever had

133
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: a friend before. I think Demi is about to be

134
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: his first friend. Oh boy, I would love to be

135
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: your friend. And then we can do bake sales and

136
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: cupcake sales every day. I love your excitement, Pinky, but

137
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't think we can do a bake sale every day,

138
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: But we could make cupcakes a lot, and maybe you

139
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: could become a cupcake chef too. And that is the

140
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: day that Demi and Pinky became a cooking cupcake business.

141
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: They became some of the most famous cupcake chefs in

142
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: the whole wide world. And I'm so glad that Demi

143
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: became friends with Pinky because even though he looked a

144
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: little scary, he was actually a really good friend. And

145
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: that is the end of today's adventure. We'll see you

146
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: next time, friends. By great job, you listened all the

147
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: way to the end, and you know where tominers, it's

148
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,640
