1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to Kids Short Stories. Today's story comes

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: from two of our listeners, Lux and Ridge. Hey, guys,

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: they submitted their idea for a story on our Instagram

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: page Kids Short Stories. So if you have an idea

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: and you wanna turn it into an awesome story, have

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: your parents go over to our Instagram page and leave

00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: a comment and maybe it will get chosen to be

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: turned into a story. Oh my gosh, this is a

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: really good one and amazing for right now. Are you

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: guys ready, me too? Let's go. One day, Lux and

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: Ridge were playing in their backyard, which they had been

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: having a lot of fun. But they had been in

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: their backyard four weeks and weeks. Are you guys stuck

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: at home like Lux and Edge? Yeah, because of the coronavirus.

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: I know it's the worst being stuck at home and

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: not going to school or seeing your friends. I know

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: it's been a long time, but Lux and Ridge they

18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: did have a lot of fun in their backyard playing

19
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: and they're on the Spy Kids team, and it's been

20
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: pretty quiet for the past couple of weeks because really,

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: no bad guys have been out and about because everyone's

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: been at home, so there haven't been many spy kids

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: jobs for them. But all of a sudden, while they're playing,

24
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: they heard their beeper going off. That's the spy kids,

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: let's go. And they received a message from headquarters that said,

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: Looks and Ridge, we need your help today. You see,

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: the coronavirus is affecting millions and millions of people around

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: the world. Kids are stuck at home, schools are closed,

29
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: and this needs to end. Now. You two are our

30
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: only hope. We hope that you look at these clues,

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: take a look, and end the coronavirus. Good luck. Lux

32
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: and Ridge couldn't believe it. They were so excited because

33
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: this was a really important job. They knew that kids

34
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: all around the world, we're counting on them, and so

35
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: they looked at the clues. Ridge said, oh my gosh,

36
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: these are not very many clues. Where do we start.

37
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: As Lux read them, he said, all right. Number one,

38
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: it says the coronavirus, also known as COVID nineteen is invisible.

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that's gonna be hard to It likes to

40
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: stay by really dirty, nasty things gross. And three, we

41
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: have to take out the mother ship. The mother ship.

42
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, do you know what a mother ship is. Yeah,

43
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: it's like the headquarters for the bad guys. They all

44
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: the little small soldiers of COVID nineteen. They all report

45
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: back to their master mother ship. And so the only

46
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: way to end COVID nineteen is to attack the mother ship.

47
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: And do you know what kills coronavirus in COVID nineteen, Yeah,

48
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: liceol spray. I know, it's been really hard to find

49
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: it because everyone has been using it to try and

50
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: stay safe. But Lux and Ridge both had two cans left, alright, Ridge,

51
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Lux said, we gotta get to work, and so they

52
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: started to map out a plan of how they would

53
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: track down the mother ship and end it for all.

54
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: And they came up with an amazing idea. What if,

55
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: back way back in our backyard, what if we make

56
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: like really gross muddy pit, like mud and garbage and

57
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: banana peels and orange peels and just really icky things

58
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: and make a pile. Maybe that will attract the mother ship.

59
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: I love that idea. And so they started to collect

60
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: a big pile of mud and banana peals and orange

61
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: peels and all the gross things that they could think

62
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: of to try it and set a trap for COVID

63
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: nineteen mothership. Pretty soon they had established a great trap,

64
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: and their plan was they were going to sit back

65
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: and wait for the mothership to arrive and then blast

66
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: it with a whole bunch of lysol from the two cans.

67
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: Lisol is a disinfected which means it kills viruses. It's

68
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: really good to have on a mission like this. But

69
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: then they remembered, wait a second. One of those clues

70
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: said that it's invisible. Oh shoot, how do we detect

71
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: a mothership that's invisible? M hm oh, I have an idea.

72
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: What if we blow up some balloons and we tie

73
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: him onto the ikey dirty pit, and then when the

74
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: mother ship arrives, even though it's invisible, it might like

75
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: blow the balloons out of the way, and then we

76
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: can know that it's there for sure. Oh yeah, let's

77
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: do it. Ridge ran upstairs and grabbed a whole bunch

78
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: of and they started to blow them up and tie them.

79
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: They placed them on top of this mud pit. Oh man,

80
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: he's starting to smell bad. I bet COVID nineteen mothership

81
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: is already on its way here. See COVID nineteen and

82
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. It looks for the dirtiest ickiest, grossest things,

83
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: and that's where it lives on, and so it's best

84
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: to keep things clean. But if you're on the spy

85
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: kid team and you're trying to get rid of the mothership,

86
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: this is a smart plan. So the two brothers hid

87
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: behind a tree waiting for the mothership to arrive. It

88
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: had been two hours forever when all of a sudden,

89
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, do you see that? They saw balloons

90
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: begin to shake and move. Does that mean the mother

91
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: ship is here? All right? Get the lights, all cans ready,

92
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: on the count of three, we're gonna charge, okay, and

93
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: just spray it and hopefully we won't get sick. All right,

94
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: on your marks, ready, go. They ran towards the mound

95
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: of mud and balloons, and they shot all the lights,

96
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: lights all out of the two cans covering that mound

97
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: in the balloons, and they could hear wait, just like

98
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: do you hear that? There was like a whistling, like

99
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: a screaming sound. I bet that's the coronavirus, because we're

100
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: killing it. Yes, get the second can, go, go, go

101
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: spray it. As they unloaded the second can, it became

102
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: very leer. That indeed the COVID nineteen mothership was there

103
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: and was just defeated in Lysol. LUs and Ridge had

104
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: saved the day. All the kids in the world could

105
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: go play outside again. Five kids. Headquarters called them and said,

106
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Looks and Ridge, congratulations, you have completed the mission and

107
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: all of COVID nineteen is now defeated. Congratulations. We thank you,

108
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: and the world thanks you. Goodbye. Lux and Ridge will

109
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: go down forever as the heroes of the coronavirus. We

110
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: owe them all a great deal of thanks. The end
