1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Kids Short Stories. Today's story comes from

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: one of our listeners, Charlie. Hey, Charlie. Charlie left a

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: review on our Apple podcasts and he has a really

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: cool idea for a story. Do you guys want to

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: hear it? Let's go. Charlie was another member of the

6
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: Spy Kids team. He was really smart and could always

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: figure out the hardest clues and so they always sent

8
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: him the hardest challenges and the hardest bad guys to catch.

9
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: One day, while he was home with his spy kitty,

10
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: whose name was Big Kitty, they got a message that

11
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: there was a really bad guy in their neighborhood, a

12
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: bad guy that drove a super fast car and it

13
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: was really hard to catch. Charlie knew that his big

14
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Kitty had a secret power. You see, Big Kitty was

15
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: looked like a normal cat. It was like black and

16
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: brown with some white on it. But this kitty could

17
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: transform into a lion, like a real lion from Africa.

18
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, wow, that is a cool cat. And

19
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: so Charlie knew that maybe since this bad guy was

20
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: in a really fast car, that his cat, Big Kitty,

21
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: could transform into a lion and chase him down to

22
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: catch him. That sounded like a great plan. They read

23
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the message that described what this bad

24
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: guy did, and this bad guy, oh man, he would

25
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: steal everyone's basketball's. Oh man. Charlie loved playing basketball and

26
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: so all his friends in the neighborhood, and so he

27
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: knew this was very important to catch this bad guy

28
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: because if he came in their neighborhood and took all

29
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: their basketballs, that would be terrible. So the plan was

30
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: he was going to put two of the basketballs in

31
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: the front yard and have his big kitty sitting right

32
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: behind a bush. And it was still a kitty. He

33
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: was gonna wait for it to transform into a real lion.

34
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: And so as the hours ticked by, tick tuck, tick tuck,

35
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: Charlie ran inside to get a quick snack. He loved

36
00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: veggie straws, and as he was gobbling up his Veggi strass,

37
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: he heard this fast motor engine on a car roll up.

38
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: He knew that must be the bad guy Done Done Dune.

39
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: And as the bad guy stopped his car and got out,

40
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: he started walking towards the basketball's, Oh my gosh, and

41
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: there was he grabbed him he's off running, Go, Big

42
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Kitty go. And Big Kitty took off running. Was so

43
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: fast and in the blink of an eye, Boom transformed

44
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: into a a real lion. Big Kitty was so fast

45
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: chased down that bad guy without even trying. Great job,

46
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: big Kitty, We gotta call this in, and so they

47
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: called into spy headquarters that they had caught the bad guy.

48
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: Great news. They checked the trunk of his car and

49
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: it was full of basketballs. Oh my gosh, now all

50
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: these kids get to get their basketball's back. And Charlie

51
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: and Big Kitty spent walking around the rest of the

52
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: day returning all the basketballs back to the kids in

53
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. They were all so happy to have their

54
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: basketball's back. And then Big Kitty transformed back into a

55
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: regular kitty. They went home and got ready for bed

56
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: because they had a long day of catching bad guys.

57
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: The end
