1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes all these stories

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: so much more fun?

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: Yeah?

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Listening with a friend. So right now, I want you

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: to think of two friends that you can share this

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: story with, and then your parents can text them the

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: link to this story. Today's story, we are saying, part

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: two of Ava's amazing adventure. What is about to hatch

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: out of the egg?

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: I don't know? Well, are you ready to find out?

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Me too? Let's go.

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: As the three sets of eyeballs eagerly awaited to see

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: what would hatch out of this egg, Ava and her

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: parents were all completely shocked what popped out of the

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: egg as the egg cracked open. Look at that, said Ava.

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: It's a triceratops. They couldn't believe it.

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: It was a.

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: Real triceratops, a small dinosaur with three horns on its head.

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: She had done it. How did you do that?

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Ava said her parents. This is groundbreaking and absolutely amazing.

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: We have to tell the world of what you've done,

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: they said. Ava's mind began to race. Wait a second,

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't think we can do that. I know this

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: is really cool, but if we tell them about this

26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: little guy. I don't think he's gonna have a very

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: fun life. He's gonna be stuck with a whole bunch

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: of test tubes and wires connected to him, and they're

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: always gonna be doing experiments on him. And I don't

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: want that for him. Look at him, he's so cute.

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: He needs to live a normal life, not stuck in

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: someone's lab. You're right, Ava, you're so smart, they said.

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: The rest of the day, Ava spent every second of

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: it with her new friend. I am gonna name you

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: Stubby because of the horns on his head. They had

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: little stubs at the end of them, and boy was

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: he cute. He was about the size of a small kitten,

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: except he wasn't as fluffy as a kitten. In fact,

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't fluffy at all. He had hard skin, almost

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: like a rhinoceros, but even harder. But he was actually

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: very nice. Ava tried all kinds of different foods, and

42
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: what do you think would be his favorite food? She

43
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: tried pancakes, strawberries, and granola bars. Which one do you

44
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: think would be his favorite? Well, he really liked strawberries.

45
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Stubby gobbled up all the strawberries and pretty soon all

46
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: the blueberries and raspberries and blackberries and all the berries.

47
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: I think he really likes.

48
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Berries, said Ava. Over the next couple weeks, Stubby grew

49
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger very quickly. They almost couldn't even buy

50
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: berries fast enough for him to eat. He had now

51
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: gotten big enough to go play outside in the backyard.

52
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Ava brought him outside and they had a nice fenced

53
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: in yard to keep him safe from running away and

54
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: getting lost. And as he stepped out in the grass

55
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: for the first time, you could tell that Stubby was

56
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: very happy.

57
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: Wow, look how cool he is in the grass.

58
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: He didn't walk very far before he started taking big

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: bites out of the grass.

60
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: WHOA, look at him.

61
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Go, he's like our little lawnmower now, said Ava. If

62
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: you could have a pet dinosaur, what dinosaur would it be?

63
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Would you want to have a pet t rex, a

64
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: pet velociraptor, or maybe a trice aratops like Ava. I

65
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna pick the trice aratops like Ava, because

66
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I think the other two might try to eat me.

67
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Over the next several days, Ava started to train Stubby.

68
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: She wanted him to learn exactly how to follow all

69
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: the commands and how they can be friends together and

70
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: work together. Stubby was very smart and learned all these

71
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: tricks very quickly. Hey, Ava, how about we bring Stubby

72
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: this time on our trip to the river. Oh, I

73
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: think he would love that. He would love to splash

74
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: in the river. So that's what they did. The three

75
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: of them and Stubby climbed into the car and drove

76
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: off towards the river. As they walked up the trail,

77
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Stubby walked very closely to Ava, following her every move.

78
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: And up ahead was the river. Stubby, look at that,

79
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: It's where we can splash and play.

80
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: Let's go.

81
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: She took off running for the river and Stubby was

82
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: close behind. As they jumped into the river and splashed everywhere,

83
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: Stubby was having the time of his life. He was

84
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: kicking his legs and waving his tail in the water,

85
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: making the biggest splashes of them all. Ava's parents couldn't

86
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: help but laugh and take pictures of this hilarious thing

87
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: that was going on. Ava had become completely soaked and

88
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: Stubby was not stopping.

89
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: Stubby, I'm gonna splash you back.

90
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Said Ava as she started splashing Stubby. Stubby started splashing

91
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: and splash again. Splash again. Pretty soon they were all

92
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: completely soaked, even her parents. They usually spend the day

93
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: at the river looking for fossils, but Stubby brought a

94
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: whole new level of fun into river play. Towards the

95
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: end of the afternoon, it was getting close to the

96
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: time where they needed to go home. Then all of

97
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, her dad saw something in the water. Ava,

98
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: come over here, look at this. Ava reached down in

99
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: the water and pulled it out. It looked like another

100
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: dinosaur egg. Wait a second, you don't think this could

101
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: be another egg? Wait, maybe it's another fossil egg from

102
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: Stubby's family. What if he has a brother or sister.

103
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Ava was so excited, and Stubby was too. She looked

104
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: at her parents, and her parents said, well, I guess

105
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: we got to take it home and start another adventure.

106
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: And thus began another adventure of Ava and her dinosaur fossils,

107
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: and this one would indeed, in fact, become one of

108
00:06:49,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: Stubby's sisters. The end, great job, you listened all the

109
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: way to the end, and you know what, Tom, it is,

110
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: It's time for good shout out. I want to say

111
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: hey to Mason from Massachusetts, Henry from Texas, Vivon from Mumbai, India,

00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: We could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath and his crew without you,

00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: my friends. Well, you have a super tooper day and

00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: Bye,
