1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, welcome back to kids short stories. If this

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: is your first time listening, my name is Mr Jim

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: and welcome to the family parents. My name, like I said,

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: as Mr Jim, and it is my mission to produce

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: as much screenless entertainment and activities for your kids as

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: I can possibly manage, and so that's why we do

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: stories every single day, because these stories not only are fun,

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: but they also inspire imagination. Well, friends, are you guys

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: ready for today's imaginative adventure? Me Too. Let's go there.

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: In and Everett, we're spending the day at the beach.

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: They loved to go to the beach and do all

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: kinds of amazing imaginative adventures. When you go to the beach,

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: what do you like to play? It's pretty fun to imagine.

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: There was pie, it chips off in the distance and

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: you have to hide or else they're gonna get you.

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: Or maybe there's a treasure at the beach you gotta

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: dig it up, or maybe there's a lost creature that

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: you must help get back into the water. Well, the

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: beach has endless opportunities for an amazing adventure, and that's

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: exactly what is about to happen to Tharn and Everett.

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: It was a hot summer day. As the two of

22
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: them were splashing in the waves, they were imagining that

23
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: they were a team of explorers that were the first

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: ones to ever be on that beach and they were

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: looking for some new creatures never before seen. Everett look

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: at this over here there and said he was pointing

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: down at the sand and there were these little holes

28
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: in the sand and as the water would flow over it,

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: bubbles would come out from it and there and imagine

30
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: what was inside. What do you think is down deep

31
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: in the sand, Everett? M Hmm. Everett thought for a

32
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: minute and said, well, there must be creatures down there,

33
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: maybe creatures that are stuck in the sand. We gotta

34
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: Save Them. As they started digging in the sand, Everett

35
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: paused and saw something off in the distance. Arren, do

36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: you see that thing in the water? Where is it?

37
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: A pirate ship? Said thearren, laughing. No, no, no, no,

38
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm serious, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not joking. I

39
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: see something really large floating in the water out there.

40
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: As soon as Everett changed his tone, theren looked up

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: and put his hand over his eyes. It was a

42
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: very sunny day and so he had to oh, wait

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: a second, yeah, I do see that. Said thearren oft

44
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: in the distance, Everett had discovered something that was floating

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: in the water. It looked like a giant wooden box,

46
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: like a big crate, much big Egger than them, and

47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: so they had no idea what on earth could be

48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: floating in the ocean inside of that big wooden crate.

49
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: But as the waves were crashing on the beach, those

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: were the same waves that were bringing this wooden box

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: closer and closer to there and and Everett. Everett, go

52
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: grab something to see if we can open that thing.

53
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: I think it's about to land on shore. Everett ran

54
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: over and grabbed one of their shovels as there and

55
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: grabbed the box and was able to push it to shore.

56
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: It was way bigger than him. It was a massive box,

57
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: but as it was floating in the water, you know,

58
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: heavy things, when they float on water they're they're a

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: lot easier to push. But as soon as it bumped

60
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: into the sand on the beach there was no more budgeting.

61
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: This ginormous would in crate. Here's a shovel. Everett was

62
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: holding it above his head like a victorious adventurer who

63
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: had discovered something. He passed the shovel to there and

64
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: who used the edge of the shovel to wedge into

65
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: this part of the wooden crate that looked kind of

66
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: like a door, but it had a lock on it.

67
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: But maybe, just maybe, he could pry it open. As

68
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: he started to try and open up that locked door,

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: they heard a sound inside. H Fair and dropped the

70
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: shovel and jumped back. Everett, did you hear that? There's

71
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: some kind of creature in there? And it was then

72
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: that they realized that there was some writing on the

73
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: side of the box. Danger wild animal inside. There's an

74
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: animal in there. He's stuck. He's probably almost drowning. We

75
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: gotta get him out of there, said Everett. Okay, but

76
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: what do you think is in there? Guys, hold on

77
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: a second. What do you think is inside of that box? It's,

78
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: like I said, it's way bigger than them. It's taller

79
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: than them, longer than them. Why? Than Them? There must

80
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: be a very ginormous creature in there. There and picked

81
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: the shovel back up and wedged it into the edge

82
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: of the door and pushed with all of his might.

83
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't enough and so Everett came to and they

84
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: both pushed the shovel and finally popped the lock, cracked

85
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: off and flew into the sand. The door immediately swung open.

86
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: It was very rusty and very squeaky, but as the

87
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: door opened the two brothers looked inside and couldn't believe it.

88
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: It's a ginormous butt, and they were not joking. There

89
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: was a ginormous gray, I don't know how else to

90
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: say this, bottom, the bottom of an animal. What is

91
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: that thing? Look at that tiny little tail, said Everett.

92
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: They're in an Everett backed up, and so did the

93
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: creature inside of the box as he stepped out, backing

94
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: up almost like a truck. Bee beep, beep, beepep out

95
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: from the box. They couldn't believe it. It was a

96
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: ginormous rhinoceros. Holy smokes, is that guy big? Said thearren.

97
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: Mm Hmmm, Oh, it's okay, they're big guy, as Everett

98
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: was patting the side of the Rhinoceros. It's gonna be okay, Larren.

99
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: What do we do, asked Everett. I don't know, but

100
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: look at this. Inside there were a whole bunch of papers,

101
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: like maps, and a whole bunch of stuff they didn't understand,

102
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: but they could definitely tell where this creature had come from.

103
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Look at this, I think like some poachers stole this

104
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: rhinoceros from its home. We've got to figure out a

105
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: way to get it back, said Thearren. How in the

106
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: world are we didn't get this thing back across the

107
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: ocean to where it came from? Everett didn't even take

108
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: a second to think of an awesome idea. Well, look

109
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: at this. This crate that the rhinoceros was in is

110
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: a giant wooden crate. I bet we could change this

111
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: into some kind of raft and then we could cruise

112
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: across the ocean and bring him back to his home.

113
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Everett was full of really good ideas and this was

114
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: one of those. Wow, I love it. Said, then let's

115
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: get to work. The two brothers started modifying the crate

116
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: into more of a raft. So they took the roof

117
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: off and sealed up the sides, and there it was.

118
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: It was absolutely perfect. They could all fit in with

119
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: the Rhinoceros and they grabbed some delicious food for the Rhinoceros,

120
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: which you really love to eat. The grass that was

121
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: on the shore of the beach they grabbed some water

122
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: bottles and off they began their journey of rafting across

123
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: the ocean with a rhinoceros. Could you do that kind

124
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: of adventure? Would you be brave enough? Oh, I bet

125
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: you are. Well, these two brothers sailed across the ocean

126
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: with their new friend, Mr Rhino, and Mr Rhino was

127
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: so happy when he could see his house, his home,

128
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: not that far away. After several hours of rafting across

129
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: the ocean, they finally made it back to his home.

130
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: He jumped off the raft and huffed and puffed M

131
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: and made a big sound and he was clearly very happy. Wow,

132
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: great job there in in Everett. You guys save the day.

133
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: You save this rhino and we're turning him back to

134
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: his home. This maybe the end of the story, but

135
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: these two brothers sure do love a great adventure and

136
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's another amazing adventure that lies ahead the end.

137
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: Great job. You listened all the way to the end

138
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: and you know what time it is. It's time for

139
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: good showed. Oh, so I want to say hey to
