1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Hey friends, Mr Jim here, welcome back to Kids Short Stories.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: My name is Mr jam I live in South Carolina

00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: with my family and me and my kids. We love

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,759

00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: I will turn it into an actual adventure. Like today's

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: story comes to us from Xander and Frankie. They sent

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: me an idea and are you ready for the adventure?

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: I am, let's go. It was a beautiful day as

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: Sander and Frankie were just taking off their shoes to

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: jump on the trampoline in their backyard. All right, Xander,

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: come on, climb in, said Frankie. As they opened up

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the door to that net around the trampoline. Both crawled

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: inside and started jumping around. Who oh, I love our dreamoline.

17
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: Watch how highway can jump? Xander started jumping up and

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: down so high, and so was Frankie. They were having

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: such an amazing time when all of a sudden something

20
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: caught their eye. Hey, Frankie, have you ever seen that

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: picture up in the haddock before? Said Xander. What picture

22
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: are you talking about? I said Frankie as he was

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: still jumping and trying to talk FREGGI stop jumping. Hold

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: on a second. All right, So see way up there

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: in the window to the attic of the house. M yep,

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: I see it, said Frankie. All right, do a really

27
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: big jump and it should be able to give you

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: the angle that I'm talking about. Look in that window

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: and jump really high and you should see something. Okay,

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: here we go, boing. Frankie started to jump higher and higher.

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't see it yet, but oh wait I do.

32
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Is that a painting, said Frankie. Yeah, that's what I

33
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: thought too, said Xander. That is a really cool looking painting.

34
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: I want to go check it out. I think we

35
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: totally should come on. Xander was the first one to

36
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: jump out of the trampoline, throwing his shoes, and Frankie

37
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: was right behind. They hadn't really spent much time in

38
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: the attic of their house, but that painting looked really interesting.

39
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: The colors on it looked like it's swirled and swirled,

40
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: almost like it was moving, but it was probably just

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the light reflecting off it through. As Sander and Frankie

42
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: zoomed in the back door. Their parents tried to say hello,

43
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: but they zoomed right past. Whoa Xander, Frankie, do you

44
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: guys have fun of the trampoline? Where are you going?

45
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: Running upstairs in the attic? Will be right back to

46
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: the attic. Why do you want to go up there?

47
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: It's really dusty and spider webby, said one of their parents.

48
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: Oh well, come here, Milo, let's get you some food.

49
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: Milo was a little puppy that lived there, and Milo

50
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: ate a lot of food. Have you ever seen a

51
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: puppy eat? Wow, they're pretty messy and they eat a

52
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: lot of food. Xander and Frankie ran upstairs and there

53
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: was this ladder that was up in their ceiling. He

54
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: had to pull on the string and pull it down.

55
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: It was very squeaky as it came down, and it

56
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: also had a lot of dust and dirt that fell

57
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: on them as they pulled it down. Oh, Frankie, that

58
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: was all over my face, said Xander. Oh sorry, I

59
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: should have given you a heads up to look away

60
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: or some are Oh dear, you look terrible that Frankie.

61
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Xander wiped his face off with his hands and said,

62
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: I was disgusting, all right? That was anyway, let's get

63
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: up there and see what that painting was. Come on,

64
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Xander and Frankie carefully walked up that ladder going into

65
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: their attic. With each step it kind of bounced and

66
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: wiggled and made him feel a little nervous, but they

67
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: finally reached the top and crawled into the attic. Wow,

68
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: this place is amazing, said Frankie. No, this place is disgusting,

69
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: said Xander. Look at all the cobwebs and yeah, okay,

70
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: so what window did we see that painting through? I

71
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: think it was the one in them back, said Xander.

72
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Come on, the ceiling was pretty low, so they had

73
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: to stay very close down to the ground, almost like

74
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: they were crawling on their knees, but they could kind

75
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: of scoot along the way. Whoa, there it is, as

76
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: said Frankie as he pointed his finger towards the wall.

77
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: There it was. That was the painting that they saw

78
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: out the window when they were jumping on the trampoline outside. Whoa,

79
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: it looks almost magical, said Xander. I've definitely never seen

80
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: anything like this before, said Frankie. They were right. This

81
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: painting it looked like it was swirling and moving in

82
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: the center. Like normally paintings don't move right. Yeah, it's

83
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: just like a picture. It's it's stuck. But this one

84
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: was different. The closer they got to it, they started

85
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: to feel it was like pulling them closer and closer. Frankie, Wait,

86
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: what's happening. I feel like it's a magnet and it's

87
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: pulling me closer, said Xander. Me too, said Frankie. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

88
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, out of nowhere, both of them

89
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: got sucked into the painting. Done, done, done. All the

90
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: commotion up in the attic caught the attention of Milo

91
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: the puppy. Oh. He walked over towards the ladder and

92
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: looked up riff roof roof. Oh no, Milo started to

93
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: climb up the ladder towards the attic. Oh Meanwhile, Xander

94
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: and Frankie were now whirling and twirling and spinning their

95
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: way into the painting, when all of a sudden, they

96
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: landed into a room with a thud. Xander, are you okay?

97
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Said Frankie. Oh yeah, I'm okay. Where are we? I

98
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: don't know. We're in some kind of room with white

99
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: walls and white ceiling and whoa, there's a lot of

100
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: doors here. Xander and Frankie started to look around. They

101
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: were inside of this very large white room with I

102
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: don't know, there had to have been a hundred doors.

103
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: Where in the world are we? This is not our attic,

104
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: said Frankie. Xander ran over to a door and opened

105
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: it up. WHOA, what the and he quickly closed the

106
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: door back shut. Did you see that? Said Xander. On

107
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: the other side of the door, it was like we

108
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: were on top of the tallest mountain in the whole

109
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: white world. It was windy and snowy and definitely not

110
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: at home. Okay, that's not good. Uh, let me try

111
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: this one over here. Frankie ran over to another door

112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: and opened it up. It's a jungle door. He slammed

113
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: the door shut. Where are we, said Frankie. I don't know.

114
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: It looks like we've laid it in some kind of

115
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: portal him. I bet behind each door is a different place,

116
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: and as soon as we walk through that door will

117
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: end up in that jungle, or on that mountaintop or

118
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: somewhere else. But how do we get home? Shouted Sander.

119
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Was that milow? Said Frankie. That sounded just like Milo

120
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Milo where are you roof, roof, It's coming from this

121
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: door over here, said Sander as he ran over and

122
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: opened the door. Milo. There was Milo in their attic.

123
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: This is the door that leads back to our attic.

124
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Come on, let's get out of here. Sander and Frankie

125
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: walked through that door and they were back in their attic.

126
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, where did we go? And what is going on?

127
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: Said Frankie. I'm pretty sure that that painting let us

128
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: into some kind of portal room. We've got to go

129
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: tell our parent's Come on. Xander picked up Milo and

130
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Frankie followed behind as they came down the ladder to

131
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: tell their parents about what crazy thing that they had

132
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: just discovered in their attic. Holy smokes, Wow, what an

133
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: amazing adventure that they just went on all the way

134
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: up to their attic. This maybe the end of our

00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: story today, but it is only just the beginning the
