1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Hello Friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kit

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: short stories. I need to make sure that you have

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: smashed the follow button. You know that follow button. It

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: kind of looks like a plus sign, or it might

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: say follow or something like that, so you don't miss

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: out at any of our awesome stories every single day. Well,

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: today's story comes to us from river. Hey, river, I

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: cannot wait for this amazing adventure into outer space. Are

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: you guys ready for today's story? Me Too. Let's go.

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: River was just waking up and rolling out of bed.

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: What's seemed like a normal kind of day would end

12
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: up being a very unusual one. Well, you see, river

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: was actually used to unusual days because he was an astronaut. Yes,

14
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: he was on the space squad, and so it was

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: his job to zoom around and make sure that everything

16
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: in space was nice and safe. He ran downstairs and

17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: grabbed a big bowl of cereal and gobbled it up.

18
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: That was his favorite breakfast. Do you have a favorite

19
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: breakfast that you love to eat every morning, or maybe

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: you like different breakfasts and switch it up. Well, whatever

21
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: it is, make sure it has lots of good energy,

22
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: because we all need good energy, and especially river. WHO's

23
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: about the blast off to space. You See, every Thursday

24
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: is when river would blast off to space. Thursdays that

25
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: was his day to protect outer space, and then it

26
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: was other kids jobs different days of the week, but

27
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Rivers Day was Thursday. He loved exploring all kinds of

28
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: different parts of outer space, traveling to the planets, stars

29
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: and moons. There was so much out there to explore. But,

30
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: like I said, today was a very unusual day. As

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: he entered space headquarters, and that's, you know, where all

32
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: the astronauts get on all their uniforms and prepare for

33
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: blast off, he took one step inside and was met

34
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: with some emergency instructions. River, here we need you to

35
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: go to these coordinates on a far moon. We've observed

36
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: some movement, very unusual movement. We needs you to check

37
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: it out. Oh, absolutely, I'll get right on it, said river.

38
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: He raced over to the changing room to put on

39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: all of his astronaut gear. That meant boots and pants

40
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: and jackets and helmets and gloves and the whole thing,

41
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: and even an oxygen tank. As he tested, the oxygen,

42
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: tasted and breathed like really clean air. Ah, that's some

43
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: fancy air. For astronauts, the oxygen that they have to breathe. Yeah,

44
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: because oxygen, what we need to breathe, is not found

45
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: in space. So that's a really important thing. If you

46
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: ever want to be an astronaut, you have to make

47
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: sure that you have your oxygen tank with you at

48
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: all times. Three, two, one, the rocket that river was

49
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: sitting in had blasted off to space. River always loved

50
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: that part of the blast off on the rocket, as

51
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: he was thrown back into his chair because it was

52
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: going so fast. It even made his face make some

53
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: silly faces. Can you make a really silly face, like

54
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: you're blasting off to space in your mouth or pulled

55
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: back and your cheek, sir, almost touching your ears? Those

56
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: are some amazing space launch faces. But you should have

57
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 1: seen rivers face. Even though he was screaming, he loved

58
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: it and pretty soon he found himself floating through space.

59
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: His rocket ship thankfully knew exactly where to go because

60
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: they had put in the coordinates of the location of

61
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: this strange activity appearing on one of, I think it

62
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: was Jupiter's moon, well one of them at least. Yeah,

63
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: Jupiter has has a lot of moons. How many moons

64
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: do our planet, Earth have and just one right, yes,

65
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: just one moon, but Jupiter has more than one. Do

66
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: you know how many moons? Jupiter has? Seventy nine moons.

67
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that is a lot of moons. But there

68
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: was one in particular that that's where river was headed

69
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: to figure out what in the world was going on

70
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: on that little moon off of the planet Jupiter. It

71
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: took a very long time to arrive, but thankfully his

72
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: spaceship was very, very fast, so instead of it taking

73
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: years and years and years, it just took a couple hours,

74
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: which I would take a couple of hours over years

75
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: of traveling. Right. Yeah, a couple of hours, like I

76
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: could do that. As a spaceship carefully landed down on

77
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: the moon, river grabbed a flashlight and opened the door

78
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: and started to search around. It was a very strange

79
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: looking place. The dirt was all gray. It looked like

80
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: everything was in black and white. River had been on

81
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: many moons before, so he was used to looking at this,

82
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: because most moon look the same. River didn't know exactly

83
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: what he was looking for because they didn't give him

84
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: very specific instructions, only that they saw some movement or

85
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: something happening on the moon. What do you think it

86
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: could be? Do you think it's like an alien or where?

87
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: Was it just, you know, some dirt being blown around

88
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: in the wind? Do they have wind on the moons?

89
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Les River kept exploring. He saw something.

90
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: What is that? He shouted. It had all kinds of

91
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: tentacles and eyeballs and it was moving. Hellen, shouted river.

92
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: His dream had come true, except his dream was a

93
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: little scary, exciting and a lot of things. He didn't

94
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: know what to feel. Excited or scared. What would you

95
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: feel if you saw a real alien? What would would

96
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: that be? Scarier exciting? Well, either way, it was an

97
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: alien moving in slow motion. River walked over to it

98
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: and said Hello, are you? Are you okay? Why are

99
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: you moving in slow motion? WHOA UM, low on batter

100
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: and he just stopped. River stood there in front of

101
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: what looked like a completely frozen alien. Did he say

102
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: it was low on battery, said River. He bent down

103
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: and kind of turned his head to the side and

104
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: saw something that looked like a charging port, like for

105
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: a cable or something. He ran back to his spaceship

106
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: and grabbed one of the cables that had a solar

107
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: power charger connected to it. He attached it onto the

108
00:07:52,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: alien and instantly, Hey, I thank you so the show.

109
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: I was riding low at battery. But how are these

110
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: solid powers? Oh, thank you so much. What's your name?

111
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: River was a little confused. Hi, my name's river. What's

112
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: your name? You can call me Charlie. Charlie went on

113
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: to tell river everything about alien life, which was amazing

114
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: to learn about. River had always wanted to meet an

115
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: alien and thankfully he met a nice alien. I don't

116
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: know if all of them are nice or not, but

117
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: Charlie he was a nice tentacled alien, and that day

118
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: river not only helped recharge Charlie, which I didn't know

119
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: aliens needed charging. It's kind of silly, but river saved

120
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: Charlie and also learned all about aliens, and so on

121
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: his trip back to planet earth he was very excited

122
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: to share every thing he had learned with his entire

123
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: space crew. This may be the end of our story,

124
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: but I think it's just the beginning of Rivers Amazing

125
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Space Adventures. The End. Great job. You listened all the

126
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: way to the end, and you know what time it is.

127
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: It's time for kid shout out. I want to say
