1 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister jim Man. Welcome back to kid 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: Short Stories. I love lead reading through the reviews that 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: you leave for me on Apple Podcast. This one I'm 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: looking at right now is from Kate Olive. It says 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: it's great for bedtime five stars. For over a year, 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: my four year old has listened to these stories as 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: he goes to sleep. He requests them every night. That's 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: so awesome. Yeah, we at our house we loved listening 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: to these stories as we're getting ready for bed as well. Well, 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: As THEO ran through his house to grab his boots, 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: rain jacket, and umbrella, he was so excited to see 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: if this was a real treasure map. Remember in the 14 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: last episode, THEO found this old legendary map hidden in 15 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: the back of his clock and had some markings on 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: it that looked familiar, look kind of like the three 17 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: big stones that were at a playground near his house, 18 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: and THEO was gonna check it out to see if 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: this was indeed a real treasure map. He put the 20 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: map inside of a plastic bag to keep it dry 21 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: from the rain. It had been raining now for a 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: long time. And so all the mud and puddles had appeared. 23 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: By now he had to keep that map dry or 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: else he might lose some really important information. All right, 25 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: you be careful out there and try not to get 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: too wet, said his parents as he walked outside. Okay, 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: I'll be back in a little bit. He waved goodbye 28 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: and started on his adventure towards the playground. Squish, squash, squish, squash. 29 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: His boots squashed through the mud with every step. Oh 30 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: that was a deep puddle. Wow, I'm glad I'm wearing 31 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: some tall boots, said THEO. Just a little bit further 32 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: up ahead, he could see the park where he was 33 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: playing with his friends earlier. Now the wood chips had 34 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: formed a whole bunch of different puddles from all the rain, 35 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: so it was not going to be a good time 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: to play. And of course he was on a mission, 37 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: so we had to stay focused. All right, where's that 38 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: big pile of those big rocks? Oh it's over there, Yeah, 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: let me go check it out. Over there, THEO was 40 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: looking to find the landmarks that he had seen on 41 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: the treasure map. You see, every treasure map, it leaves 42 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: behind drawings of different places that can help you remember 43 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: like how to get to where the treasure is. So 44 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: on the map they had seen three squiggly circles that 45 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: kind of looked like three boulders. THEO had remembered seeing 46 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: some boulders in the park. As he got closer and closer, 47 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: he counted one, two, three boulders. This has gotta be it. 48 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: As he pulled out the map that was inside of 49 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: that plastic bag from inside of his ring jacket, he 50 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: held it up and it matched perfectly with those three 51 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: boulders that were on the edge of the playground. You see, 52 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: these boulders were pretty big. They were a little bit 53 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: bigger than THEO, but you could like get on top 54 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: and climb on them. Right now, they were pretty slippery 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: from all that rain. Okay, I think I just gotta 56 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: climb up there and take a better look and see 57 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: if I can find the next clue on the map. 58 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: By looking at the map, it looked like the next 59 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: thing he needed to find was some kind of tree 60 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: that looked like the letter. Why. He'd never seen a 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: y tree before, But maybe if he climbed up on 62 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: the rocks he could get a better look there. Oh 63 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: who that was really slippery. As he looked around, he 64 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: turned in circles looking for that Why tree. Hmm, there's 65 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: a lot of trees. I don't see one that looks 66 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: Wait a second. Over there, there's a ginormous old oak tree, 67 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: and it does kind of look like the letter Why. 68 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if that's it. He turned to jump off 69 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: the rocks to get back on the ground and head 70 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: towards the tree, and all of a sudden, what splash 71 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: all THEO slipped off of the big boulders and right 72 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: into a huge mud puddle. Oh no the map. The 73 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: map had flown out of Theo's hands and landed right 74 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: in the mud. Oh no, is it ruined? Said THEO 75 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: as he nervously picked it up out of the mud. 76 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: Oh good, that plastic bag kept it dry and clean. 77 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: I just gotta wipe off all this mud from that 78 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: plastic bag. He wiped off the mud on his right 79 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,559 Speaker 1: pant leg. There good is new well, almost, said THEO 80 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: as he began his next adventure to the tree that 81 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: looks like a Why wouldn't it be so fun to 82 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: follow a real treasure map? Said venture that leads you 83 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: from clue to clue to clue, and then maybe there's 84 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: a real treasure waiting for you. Just stup ahead. As 85 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: THEO arrived at the tree, he heard in the distance, THEO, THEO, 86 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: where are you? That was the voice of his parents 87 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: shouting from a distance. Looks like they didn't want to 88 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: miss out on all the fun that THEO is having. 89 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: I'm over here, shouted THEO as he waved his arms 90 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: up really high so that they could see him. How's 91 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: it going, THEO? Any uh? Any more clues? And wow, 92 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: you got pretty muddy? Are you okay? THEYD Yeah, I'm okay. 93 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I kind of slipped off those big boulders and the 94 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: map fell in the mud. But thankfully it's in this 95 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: plastic bag, so I just had to wipe it off 96 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: on my leg, said THEO. But I'm at the next clue. 97 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: It pointed me over to this tree that looked like 98 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: a y See. He held up the map, and his 99 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: parents agreed that that tree looked exactly like the one 100 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: that was drawn on this old treasure map. All right, 101 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: so what do we do next? They asked? Umm, I 102 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: don't know. This map doesn't have a big X on it. Ummm, 103 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: I don't exactly know what we're looking for, but this 104 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: big tree does seem to be in the center of 105 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: the map, so it must be important. Let's look around, 106 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: said THEO. The three of them started to walk around 107 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: the tree and look in all the nooks and crannies. 108 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: Because it was a very big old tree, it had 109 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: some hollow parts and some old broken branches that had 110 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: a hole, and and so they were looking for something 111 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: that might be hidden inside of that old old tree. 112 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: Wait a second, THEO, come over here. Look down here. 113 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: One of his parents was pointing down to an old 114 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: hollow part of the tree. Do you know what a 115 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: hollow part of the tree is. Yeah, it's kind of 116 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: like the center of the tree is empty, and there's 117 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: a little opening to it, and sometimes critters like to 118 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: build a nest inside there. But this one had something 119 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: else inside here. Let me reach inside and pull it out. 120 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: THEO laid down on the wet grass and reached inside. 121 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: Be careful, said his parents. I got it and out 122 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: popped a very old wooden box. Is this a treasure chest? 123 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: Shout at THEO. That's what it looks like. Get it 124 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: open fast, shouted his parents. I think they were just 125 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: as excited as THEO was. Thank you. There wasn't a 126 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: lock on it. As THEO opened it up, it was empty. 127 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: What it's completely empty, shouted THEO as he closed the box. 128 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: Aw ma'am, said one of his parents. I kind of 129 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: wish that there was like a gold coin in there 130 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: or something. Let me take another look. One of his 131 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: parents knelt down and picked up the box and open 132 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: it up. Wait a second, there is a gold coin. Look. 133 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: He reached inside and pulled out a gold coin. How 134 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: did that happen? I just looked in there, said THEO, 135 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: and it was empty. They all looked at each other 136 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: and couldn't believe it. But it was a real gold coin. 137 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: You don't think it's because you said that you wish 138 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: that there was a gold coin in there, do you? 139 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: Asked THEO. I don't know, but let's try it again. 140 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: I wish there was cotton candy inside, said one of parents. 141 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: As they opened the box. They couldn't believe it. A beautiful, bright, 142 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: pink spool of cotton candy. All three of their mouths 143 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: dropped open. No way, said THEO. It's a wishing box. 144 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: The three of them couldn't wait to get home and 145 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: try some more wishes. But holy smokes, they found a 146 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: real wishing box. I've never seen one of those in 147 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: real life. But if you had a wishing box, what 148 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: would you wish for inside that you could open up 149 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: and find sitting there waiting for you. Oh, that would 150 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: be so cool. Even though this is the end of 151 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: this story, it's only just the beginning of THEO and 152 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: his parents great adventure with this new treasure that they 153 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: just found.
