Speaker 1: is your first time listening. My name is Mr Jim

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: and me my wife and my kids. We live in

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina and we love stories so much that we

Speaker 1: create and write stories every single day based on your idea.

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: So when you send your ideas to me at kids

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Short Stories dot Com, I take that little idea and

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: I write a story every day for you. It's helped

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: so much with cutting down our screen time and getting

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: ready for bed as well. Well, are you ready for

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: part two of today's story? Me too, Let's go as

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: a j was still laying in the grass looking at

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: this tiny alien reveal his master plan to destroy or

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: take over planet Earth. He didn't know what to do.

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here, but I can't leave

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Joey behind, all right. I gotta wait till the aliens

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: not looking and then grab Joey and get out of here.

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: You see, the alien was pretty small himself. It was

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: just a couple inches tall, but standing next to the

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: size of Joey, Joey was like a small bug. So

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: if the alien was able to change everyone and to

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: be the same size as Joey, that would be absolutely terrible.

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: A few minutes later, the alien went back into a spaceship,

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: and a J knew this was the moment that he

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: had to move. He ran over to Joey and carefully

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 1: put his hands down in between the grass. Joey hopped

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: up onto his right hand, and a J cupped it

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: clothes to keep him safe as he took off running.

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay, Joey, We'll figure this out. But

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: are you okay? Like? Does it hurt to be small?

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Tell me what's going on in your mind? Oh? Uh,

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Laura doesn't hurt. Let's just just uh, I don't know.

33
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: It's flows strange table, smaller than a blood of cross.

34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Does my worth sound ruled? A J didn't know what

35
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: to say. Uh no, it sounds totally normal to me.

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: Don't worry, I'm I'm sure we'll get this figured out

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: any second. As a J was running up the hill,

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: so many thoughts were racing through his mind. What would

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: you do if one of your best friends got shrunk

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: down into the size as small as Joey? That would

41
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: be that would be pretty terrifying. If I'm honest, if

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: my best friend shrunk down to that little I would

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: not know what to do, but I would have to

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: look out for them. A J made it up to

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: where their bikes were in their walkie talkies, and he

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: called into h Q h Q, HQ, this is a J.

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I have an emergency. Come in over S this is

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: h Q, J. What is your emergency. I don't know

49
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: how to explain this, but I think we just watched

50
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: some kind of alien spaceship crash land into the grass

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: down there, and then he shot some kind of laser

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: at Joey and now Joe Joey is the size of

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: a cricket. Over There was a long pause. I don't

54
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: think HQ knew what to say. Sh come again, a J.

55
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: Can you can you clarify exactly what you just said?

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Did you say that special Agent Joey is the size

57
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: of a cricket? Yes, h Q, Yes, confirm that is

58
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: what I said. Joey is the size of a cricket

59
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: because this alien, who's also pretty small, blasted some kind

60
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: of laser at him. I need help now, all right,

61
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: A J. Take a deep breath. We'll send a team

62
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: there right now. Just hang tight. A J's mind was

63
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: still racing with all these different emotions and ideas. And

64
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: one idea stuck out to him. Huh, I wonder if

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: there's a wave like that alien is so small, I

66
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: bet I could make him make Joey back to its

67
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: normal size. But how am I going to defend myself

68
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: against that laser? A J thought to himself, do you

69
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: guys have any ideas of how you could defend yourself

70
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: against a laser? Like? Is there anything that a laser

71
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: might bounce off of, like reflect off of? Mm hmm?

72
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: Because if if he could hold up like a shield,

73
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: maybe there is a way that he could get closer

74
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: to the alien and a J wouldn't get shrunk down filming.

75
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: He could find a way to block that laser. All

76
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, a J had an idea. Joey, all right,

77
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you down next to your bike. Just

78
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: stay here, don't move. I'm gonna ride my bike home.

79
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go grab something. I'll be right back called

80
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: hurdle up, I'll flow or vulnarboral darno slur or a

81
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: small harrold shout at Joey. Yeah, I'll go fast. A

82
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: J took off riding his bi towards home. As he

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: got to his home, He dropped his bike in the

84
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: front yard and raced in the front door. Mom Mo

85
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: Mo mo mo, Mom? Are you here? Mom? Yes, I'm

86
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: I'm over here. What's wrong, said his mom. I need

87
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: a mirror. I need I need a big mirror. Now, hurry.

88
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: What do you need a mirror for? It's it's really complicated.

89
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have time to explain. Please

90
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: tell me, said his mom. Oh, you're probably not gonna

91
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: believe me, but I'll give it a time. There's an

92
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: alien spaceship that crashed down in the grass, and then

93
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: this alien came out and blasted Joey with the lasers,

94
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: shrank Joey down to the size of a cricket. And

95
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: now I need to find a way to save him.

96
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: His mom giggled. Because a J and Joey they always

97
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: have the best of fun with their imaginations. Wow, you

98
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: guys sound like you're having fun. Yeah, here's a mirror

99
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: you can use. Just be careful with it. Okay, thanks,

100
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: bye bye, A J shouted as he grabbed the mirror

101
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: and out the door he raced. AJ hopped on his

102
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: bike and carefully was holding the mirror and riding as

103
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: fast as he could. He had to get back to

104
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: where Joey was. It was not safe to leave Joey alone. Joey,

105
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm here. Where are you? I'm I'm hoddling on a

106
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: little about. Oh good, that was smart, Joey, okay, um

107
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: uh here, Hop in my pocket and then we'll go

108
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: down and see if I can talk to that alien.

109
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Come on. He picked up Joey and placed him in

110
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: his pocket. That was a pretty safe place for Joey

111
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: to be, at least for a little while. A j

112
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: carefully crept down the hillside, holding the mirror in front

113
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: of him like a giant shield. He had to be

114
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: careful to not drop it because then it would shatter everywhere.

115
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: He'd be totally exposed to the laser and his mom

116
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: would not be happy about that. Up ahead, he could

117
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: see where that alien spaceship was still sitting there. It's

118
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: lights were blinking beep beep, beep beep, and he could

119
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: see the alien standing on top of the ship. Looked

120
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: like he was talking to somebody on like some kind

121
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: of lucky talkie thing. Well as looks like claus as

122
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: a fantastic clause for our hortons love, but we're just

Speaker 1: run will swunk down to ards little tunnel styles and

125
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,760

Speaker 1: rod of the Earth of all its pooper. All hey, you,

127
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: shouted a J. I want to talk to you. Come

128
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: on out. The alien turned around and looked at a

129
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: J and immediately blast the laser right at a J.

130
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: It bounced off the mirror, and the alien was very confused.

131
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: They'll suck howdles or door that come on clariser. Yeah, well,

Speaker 1: I have this mirror. It's a magical mirror and your

133
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: laser can't get through it. And I need you to

134
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,360

Speaker 1: your spaceship. Oh no, no, no no, don't do that. Okay, Well,

138
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: then transform Joey back to normal size right now. Hang on.

139
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: The aliens pushed a button that switched the color of

140
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: the laser. He pointed it at Joey through. Oh Joey,

141
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: you're back, said a J. WHOA, that was weird, said

142
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Joey as he looked around and looked down at his clothes.

143
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: Everything was back to normal. Okay, little alien, as he

144
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: was still hiding behind that mirror. We need you to

145
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: get out of here, like, there's no way that you're

146
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: going to transform all of humanity into the size of crickets.

147
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: That's just not gonna happen. Of Carl Solves, Lord sul
