1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,440

Speaker 1: you have your own idea, go to Kids short Stories

Speaker 1: dot com and I would love to see your idea.

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for this amazing conclusion of this adventure?

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: Me too? Let's go. As Logan and Gavin raced into

10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: their room to grab all of their spy gear, they

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: were convinced that they needed to solve this to save

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: the day. All right, let's put on our jet packs

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: and blast off towards the tree farm where we got

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: our tree from. And let's talk to that tree for

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: armor about all that food he gave us for our tree.

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: Maybe he's behind it all, said Logan. They blasted off

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: on their jet packs. It was a lot faster than driving.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: What took them a couple of hours in the car

19
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: only took them a few minutes with their jet packs.

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: Jet Packs are one of the coolest parts of being

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: on the spy team, right zooming through the clouds. Wow,

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: that is definitely super fun. Sometimes I like to close

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: my eyes and imagine that I'm zooming through the clouds

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: and the wind is in my hair, and oh it

25
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: feels so good. Pretty soon they arrived at the tree

26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: farm and went looking for that farmer that they had

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: talked to earlier that had given them the twine and

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: the tree food. Oh there he is. Gavin raced over

29
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: and said, Hi, do you remember me? He said, Oh, yes,

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: I remember you? How and I help you today? Well,

31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: we wanted to ask you some questions because ever since

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: we gave our tree that tree food that you gave us,

33
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: it has started turning purple and really stinky. And are

34
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: you behind all this? Asked Gavin. The farmer looked down

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: at the ground and and kicked at the dirt. He

36
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: didn't know what to say. I am so sorry that

37
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: that happened to your tree. Yes, and I've heard of

38
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: a lot of other trees having the same situation. But no,

39
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: I am not behind all this. So what about that

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: tree food? Said Logan. We think that must be the

41
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: root cause behind all of this. Is there something different

42
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: about your tree food this year that's different from last year.

43
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: The farmer put his hand on his chin, as if

44
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: he was thinking really hard. Well, come to think of it,

45
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: it did, yes, you see her. A couple of weeks ago,

46
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I received a package in the mail with all this

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: free tree food, and I didn't think much of it.

48
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: And and that's what we've been using to give away

49
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: to everyone who buys a tree. Logan and Gavin looked

50
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: at each other. Do you still have that box that

51
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: all the tree food came in? I might it would

52
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: be over here in the back of the barn. The

53
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: farmer led them back to the barn, and sure enough,

54
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: there it was. There was actually a couple boxes filled

55
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: with all those tree food packets. They checked the label

56
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: on the box and sure enough, the shipping address on

57
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: where it came from was the Stinky Blimp lab. Logan.

58
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: This is the evidence we need to know exactly where

59
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: this came from. It's definitely Dr Stinky Breath behind all this.

60
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Who is Doctor Stinky Breath? Uh? Well, he's a criminal

61
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: mastermind that's trying to take over the world and make

62
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: it all stinky. And I guess he's making some progress

63
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: because he changed all the Christmas trees into being purple

64
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: and stinky, So it's up to us to say the day.

65
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: Oh my, well, good luck boys. I'm gonna get back

66
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: to my farm. You see, every year, after all the

67
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: trees go away, I have to plant new trees for

68
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: the next year. Logan and Gavin waved goodbye as they

69
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: zoomed off on their jet packs. Yeah, that's another really

70
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: important point, because remember, trees are super important. Do you know,

71
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: do you remember why? They do all kinds of amazing things,

72
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: but the one most important part they make our oxygen.

73
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: So do you think it would be a good idea

74
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: if we cut down all the trees? No? No, no no.

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 1: So it's good that if if you cut down a tree,

76
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: then you plant a tree to replace it. As Logan

77
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: and Gavin we're flying home, they were trying to figure

78
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: out a solution to this giant stinky mess. So it

79
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: seems like the Purple Ninjas or Doctor Stinky Breath, they're

80
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: the ones behind this tree food and they must have

81
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: sent it out to all the tree farms, and that

82
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: is why we're having the problem that we're having today.

83
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: So how in the world are we gonna save Christmas

84
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: in time? It's tomorrow. We're running out of time. Said Gavin.

85
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: And look at that. Like every house that we fly over,

86
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: you can see their purple tree outside. It's actually worked.

87
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Has doctor stinky breath actually ruined Christmas? Said Logan. It

88
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: was then that they arrived back at home. Their parents

89
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: greeted them with warm blankets and some more hot chocolate,

90
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure blankets and hot chocolate make everything better. Well,

91
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: as they came inside and and curled up on the

92
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: couch in front of the fire, they started sharing stories

93
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: from Christmas is from a long time ago, and it

94
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: was so funny and pretty hilarious memories. I have a

95
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: pretty hilarious Christmas story. So one day, this was a

96
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: long time ago, about ten years ago, I was cleaning

97
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: up and I had grabbed the tree skirt. So do

98
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: you know, at the bottom underneath the Christmas tree, there's

99
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: like a skirt that goes around it, And so I

100
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: had grabbed that skirt off the tree to go shake

101
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: it outside to get all the pine needles off. I

102
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: lived on the second floor, and I went out on

103
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: this balcony and shook that skirt and all the needles off,

104
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: and then accidentally the door closed behind me and I

105
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: got locked outside on the balcony, and I was only

106
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: in my pajamas and it was for freezing cold, and

107
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: so it took a couple of hours until Miss Joscelyn

108
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: came home and let me in. But for three hours

109
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I was huddled outside in the cold, and I had

110
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: even wrapped the tree skirt around me, with my head

111
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: poking out the center whole of it. That is one

112
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: of my most hilarious Christmas stories. Do you have a

113
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: funny Christmas story? Well, Logan, Gavin and their family had

114
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: lots of them, and that is how they spent the

115
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: rest of their night. And that's when they realized that

116
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't the tree that made Christmas or the holidays special.

117
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: It was being with family. It was sharing silly memories

118
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: and stories and drinking hot coco and curling up under

119
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: warm blankets. And it's those things that make it extra special.

120
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: And those are things that dr stinky breath can't ever

121
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: take away. And now I think they have a pretty

122
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: silly story to remember that one Christmas where their tree

123
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: turned purple and got stinky, And as I was getting

124
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: closer to bed, they turned on some Christmas music to

125
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: fall asleep to. Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, why

126
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: are you turning purple? Well? Friends, even though we weren't

127
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: able to save the purple Christmas stinky tree, we learned

128
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: something very importan. And when we think of holidays and

129
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: special times, is it the things that make it special

130
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: or the people? Yes, the people like our family. And

131
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: so as you share all these special times and memories

132
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: with families, just remember how special these are, and keep

133
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: an eye out and your nose ready for some silly

134
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: stories along the way. I've recorded a few Christmas songs

135
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: that I think you would really like to fall asleep too.

136
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: And so if you search for a purple Christmas on

137
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Spotify or Apple Music or wherever you stream your music,

138
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: you'll be able to hear this version of Oh Christmas Tree,

139
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: the purple addition, I'll see you next time, friends, Bye,

140
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree. I have to talk

141
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: to age que Oh Christmas Tree, Oh christ
