1 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from Mia. Hey Mia, 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: she sent me an awesome idea for a story, and 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: you can too. Just head of a kitdshort stories dot com. 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. And guess what, there's a new episode 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: of Spiology Squad, which is our one of our other 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: podcasts about a spy adventure where we learned some science 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: along the way. So when this story ends, head on 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: over to our Biology Squad podcast. Are you guys ready 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: for today's adventure? 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 2: Me too? 13 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: Let's go. It was a rainy day outside and Mia 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: was inside of her house, thankfully not soaking what outside 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: of the rain, but she was working on a volcano model. 16 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: Do you know what that means? She was like building 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: a volcano out of paper and and flour and kind 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: of this mix that turns it kind of into a concrete. 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: But it something that she's really good at because she's 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: a volcano expert. That means, you know, on the Spy team, 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: if they have some volcano problems, they usually call Mia 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: to solve them. And so she was working on a 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: volcano model to better understand how the lava flows out 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: the top end slides down the side of the mountain. 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: All right, I think it's timed for the blast off, 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: said Mia, adding the lava powder and the ignition. Here 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: it comes. Mia closed her eyes and plugged her ears. 28 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: It was sometimes a loud explosion, but this time it 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: was only just a p Instantly she was covered in 30 00:01:51,720 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: all OOHI gooey lava. What was that? Said Mia. She 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: turned around and realized it was her walkie talkie. Oh 32 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm disgusting, I'm covered in all this. Okay, what do 33 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: I do? I guess I'll just press the button with 34 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: my pinky that seems to be my only clean finger. 35 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Hea stretched out her hand and carefully touched the button 36 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: on the walkie talkie to play the message from HQ 37 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: without dripping all of that ooey, gooey, sticky lava juice 38 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: on her wakie talkie. Oh no worry, it wasn't real 39 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: lava juice. It was just, you know, the pretend stuff 40 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: for the experiment that she was making with her lava model. 41 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: As she pressed the button, the message said, Bia, this 42 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: is HQ. We have a volcano emergency. That we need 43 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: you to fix a sap deep in a jungle far away. 44 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: We have just discovered that there is a volcano that 45 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: is shooting seeds out of its mouth and growing more 46 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: and more volcanoes. We've never seen this happen before, but 47 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna need you to figure out a way how 48 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: to stop that volcano from spreading and building more and 49 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: more volcanoes through its volcano seeds. We'll send you the 50 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: coordinates over and out. What how is that even possible, 51 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: said Mia. Volcanoes don't have seeds. That's not how it works. 52 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. I don't know, but all right, 53 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: model volcano, I will see you later. I gotta get 54 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: my jetpack and go save the world. Mia ran to 55 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: her room, grabbed her spy gear, threw in her jet pack, 56 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: and blasted out the front door shm. She punched in 57 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: the coordinates, which would give her perfect directions to go 58 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: all the way to the right jungle. There's a lot 59 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: of jungles in the world, and you don't want to 60 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: go to the wrong one, because, uh, you'll get lost 61 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: very easily. After several hours of flying, Mia saw up 62 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: ahead the problem was actually real. Holy smoke. 63 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: Sweet, what is that? 64 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: She reached for a back pocket and pulled out some binoculars, 65 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: held them up to her eyes and zoomed in. What 66 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: it really is shooting some kind of seed in holy smokes, 67 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: that seed just instantly turned into another volcano. Oh dear, 68 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: there's one, two, three, four. Oh wow, that's a lot 69 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: of volcanoes already. She was right. There was this ginormous 70 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: of volcano that must have been like the mother of 71 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: all volcanoes. And it was like spitting out what looked 72 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: like a seed, But these seeds were very large, much 73 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: bigger than an apple seed, more like the size of 74 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: a watermelon. And they flew across the sky and landed 75 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: on a hillside an instantly flashed. A volcano just popped 76 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: out the side of that hill, and it started leaking 77 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: out real love, dondontong, I gotta fly closer to get 78 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: a better look. Me assumed closer to that big, big volcano, 79 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: And as she got closer and closer, it started to 80 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: talk to her. 81 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: Do not calm any closer unless you want to be 82 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 2: burned by love. It surprised Mia to hear that volcano. 83 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: Wait a second, did it just sing? She said, volcanoes 84 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: can't sing. Oh, yes we can, and we do. 85 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: Okay, But what you can't just keep spreading your seeds 86 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: everywhere like this and making more volcanoes. I can't have 87 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: my entire world covered by volcanoes. That would not be 88 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: safe for all the people. 89 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: Well, you see, I live in a jungle where there's 90 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: nobody here but me. 91 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: It was at that moment that Mia realized that this 92 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: volcano was not a monster. It was not trying to take. 93 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: Over the world. 94 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: It was just very lonely. And since volcanoes can't move 95 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: around to go find new friends, I guess this one 96 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: decided to start making its own new friends right here. 97 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: Oh you just want some other volcano friends in this 98 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: jungle here with you, said Mia, Yes, you are right. 99 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: I just want a friend. 100 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: And the trees are nice, but they're covered in mice, 101 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 3: and so I decided to. 102 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: Make more friends. But do you promise that you know 103 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: you're not gonna take over the old world with volcanoes. 104 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: Are your volcanoes friends just gonna stay here in this 105 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: jungle right here? The volcano paused. He could see that 106 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: it was taking a deep breath. Have no fear, I 107 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: will not burn down the earth. I will make sure 108 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: my friends stay with me. And that was the moment 109 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: that everything changed. Everything changed for me and in her 110 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: understanding for volcanos, she one never knew that they could sing, 111 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: but two they that they've sometimes felt alone. He had 112 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: always observed volcanoes all by themselves. You don't really see 113 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: two volcanoes next to each other. And so she wondered 114 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: that maybe volcanoes are sometimes just lonely, and that's why 115 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: they explode all that lava. And so, huh, I wonder 116 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: if a volcano had friends, it would help that volcano 117 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: stay more calm. This may be the end of this 118 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: story about a singing volcano, but it's just the beginning 119 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: of me as volcano's adventures. She would go on to 120 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: become great friends with this singing volcano, and the two 121 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: of them would go on many adventures ahead the end. 122 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end, 123 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: and you know what time it is. It's time for 124 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: kid shout out. So I want to say hey to 125 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: Charlie from Florida, Alexa from Australia, Kobe from New Zealand, 126 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: Ivan from Washington, Jane and Dean from Ohio.
