1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid 2 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes these stories like 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: ten times more awesome? You're sharing with a friend. So 4 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: right now I want you to think of two friends 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: that you can share this story with, and your parents 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: can maybe text them the link to this episode and 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: you guys can listen to it together and have awesome 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: memories and great imaginations. Well, friends, are you ready for 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: today's amazing adventure? Oh? I definitely am. 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: Let's go. 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day, which meant that today was 12 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: rocket blast off day. Yes, you see, Quinn is a paleontologist. Oh, 13 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: you might not think of a paleontologist as one to 14 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: get on a rocket ship and blast off to outer space, 15 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: because do you know what a palaeontologist does. Yeah, they 16 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: look at fossils and look for evidence of dinosaurs. But 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: Quinn was just recently given a very important special mission 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: to go to space and look for dinosaurs. I know, 19 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, that dinosaurs don't exist in space, 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: but you know, you don't know until you know, and 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: the only way to know is to go explore, right, Yeah, 22 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: exploration is searching for something unknown, and so even though 23 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: we don't know that dinosaurs if they exist in space. 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Maybe they do, and maybe they've just never been discovered before. 25 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: So that is why Quinn is walking right now into 26 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: a spaceship. And the only days that you can blast 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: off in a spaceship is beautiful days. So it's a 28 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: good thing that today was a bright, shiny day, not 29 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: a cloud in the sky. And as Quinn was about 30 00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: to strap in her seat belt three two one, the 31 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: rocket ship blasted off. It was headed straight to the Moon. 32 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: This was the first time that Quinn had ever gone 33 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: to outer space. Normally, you would find her with some shovels, 34 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: a pickaxe, and a brush with her sitting in a 35 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: big hole in the dirt, maybe in the desert, digging 36 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: away looking for dinosaur bones or fossils. But this time 37 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: Quinn had a full astronaut suit and was on her 38 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: way to the Moon. She did bring her tools, of course, 39 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: because she was gonna look for fossils on the Moon. 40 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: It took a long time to reach the Moon, but 41 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: finally her spaceship gently touched down on the surface of 42 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: the Moon. She couldn't wait to get out and start 43 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: exploring looking for evidence of fossils. Or dinosaur bones, or 44 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: maybe even a dinosaur tooth. That was the favorite thing. 45 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: She always loved finding a dinosaur tooth well. As she 46 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: stepped out from her spaceship with all of her astronaut 47 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: gear and her palaeontology tools, she took her first step 48 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: on the moon. Wow, this is so cool, said Quinn. 49 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: She turned around in a circle to get a full 50 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: view of everything on the moon, and there it was Wow, 51 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: I can see planet Earth from here. It looks so small. 52 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: Wow. She was right. 53 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: When you stand on the Moon and look back towards 54 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: the Earth, our whole planet looks way smaller. But it's 55 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: a pretty amazing viewed of Earth. To stand on the moon. 56 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: She didn't have a lot of time to, you know, 57 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: just enjoy the view. You know, if it was me, 58 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: I would want to just pull up a chair, pop 59 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: it open, maybe have a nice glass of lemonade and 60 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: sip my lemonade as I looked at all of space 61 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: and the stars and the planets and planet Earth. Then, 62 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: but there's no time for that. She needs to find 63 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: evidence of dinosaurs. Quinn opened up her bag of paleontology tools, 64 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: her pickaxe, and her brushes, and she started digging away 65 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: into the side of a mountain. You see, when you're 66 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: digging for fossils or just looking around, you don't know 67 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: exactly where to look, so you just have to start. 68 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: You have to start digging somewhere and hopefully find a 69 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: clue that will lead you to something interesting. Well, after 70 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: several hours of digging, she wanted to take a little 71 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: bit of a break. It was a very well earned 72 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: and well deserved break, might I add. She was walking 73 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: back to the spaceship to radio in back to camp 74 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: had Planet Earth to tell them an update that she 75 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: hadn't found any fossils yet. All right, Oh, the team's 76 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: gonna be kind of bummed to know that I haven't 77 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: found any fossils yet, said Quinn. But I have to 78 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: at least give them an update. She walked closer and 79 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: closer to the spaceship. All of a sudden she saw something. 80 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: What was that? It was a flash of light, something 81 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: that looked like it was moving kind of far away, 82 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: but it was very fast. She couldn't tell if it was, 83 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, maybe an asteroid that crashed on the Moon 84 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: and some rocks bounced around, or maybe a shadow from 85 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: the Sun, but either way, it caught her attention, and 86 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: she had to figure it out. Quinn to Bass, Quinn 87 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: to Basse, I have not found any fossils yet a 88 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: few hours into the dig, but I did just observe 89 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: some strange movements over the hill. I need to go investigate. 90 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: I'll update you when I find out, Quinn over and 91 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: out sh Quinn put down the walkie talkie at her 92 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,559 Speaker 1: spaceship and headed off towards whatever that was that caught 93 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: her eye. As she walked further and further down, this 94 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: valley on the Moon was very rocky. She had to 95 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: climb over boulders and jump over big holes. It's pretty 96 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: cool being on the Moon. You can jump a lot 97 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: higher when you're there because there's not as much gravity. 98 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: But as Quinn got closer and closer to what it 99 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: was that she had seen, she couldn't believe her eyes. 100 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: What in the world these totally look like dinosaur tracks. 101 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: She was right down in the dust of the moon 102 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: were footprints that looked like dinosaur tracks. This got Quinn 103 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: very excited because she loved finding footprints. Remember the two 104 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: things that she that were her favorite things to find 105 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: as a paleontologist. Yes, footprints and teeth. Yeah, dinosaur teeth 106 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: that were fossilized. Oh, that was such a great find. 107 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: Or a fossilized footprint where it's it's like a footprint 108 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: into the rock. Wow, that is such a good find. 109 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: But as she knelt down, she realized that this was different. 110 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: Wait a second, said Quinn. This footprint is not fossilized. 111 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: It's in the dust. It's it's like a footprint, just 112 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: like if I were to step in the dust with 113 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: my boot. Quinn was right. As she looked back at 114 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: her footprints, they were identical to the type of footprints 115 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: that she was looking at here. No, she wasn't a dinosaur, 116 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: so they looked different, but it was still the same 117 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: way that you would press your boot or a foot 118 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: into the dust. Holy smokes, Did I just discover a 119 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 1: real dinosaur on the Moon? That can't be possible. There's 120 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: no way a dinosaur. 121 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: Holy smokes. 122 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: What in the world has Quinn just discovered? Are there 123 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: real dinosaurs on the Moon living there today? I'm not 124 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: sure what's gonna happen, but we're gonna have to wait 125 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: and see what happens on the next episode of Kids 126 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: Short Stories. 127 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: Hey friends, I need your help celebrating a birthday.
