1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes these stories like 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: ten times more awesome? You're sharing with a friend. So 4 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: right now I want you to think of two friends 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: that you can share this story with, and your parents 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: can maybe text them the link to this episode and 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: you guys can listen to it together and have awesome 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: memories and great imaginations. Well, friends, are you ready for 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: today's amazing adventure? Oh? I definitely am. Let's go. It 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: was a beautiful day, which meant that today was rocket 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: blast off day. Yes, you see, Quinn is a palaeontologist. Oh, 12 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: you might not think of a paleontologist as one to 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: get on a rocket ship and blast off to outer space, 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: because you know what a palaeontologist does. Yeah, they look 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: at fossils and look for evidence of dinosaurs. But Quinn 16 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: was just recently given a very important special mission to 17 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: go to space and look for dinosaurs. I know, I 18 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: know what you're thinking, that dinosaurs don't exist in space, 19 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: but you know, you don't know until you know, and 20 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: the only way to know is to go explore, right, Yeah, 21 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: exploration is searching for something unknown, and so even though 22 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: we don't know that dinosaurs if they exist in space. 23 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they do, and maybe they've just never been discovered before. 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: So that is why Quinn is walking right now into 25 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: a spaceship. And the only days that you can blast 26 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: off in a spaceship is beautiful days. So it's a 27 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: good thing that today was a bright, shiny day, not 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: a cloud in the sky. And as Quinn was about 29 00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: to strap in her seat belt three two one, the 30 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: rocket ship blasted off. It was headed straight to the Moon. 31 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: This was the first time that Quinn had ever gone 32 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: to outer space. Normally, you would find her with some shovels, pickaxe, 33 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: and a brush with her sitting in a big hole 34 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: in the dirt, maybe in the desert, digging away looking 35 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: for dinosaur bones or fossils. But this time Quinn had 36 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: a full astronaut suit and was on her way to 37 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: the Moon. She did bring her tools, of course, because 38 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: she was gonna look for fossils on the Moon. It 39 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: took a long time to reach the Moon, but finally 40 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: her spaceship gently touched down on the surface of the Moon. 41 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: She couldn't wait to get out and start exploring looking 42 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: for evidence of fossils or dinosaur bones, or maybe e 43 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: a dinosaur tooth. That was the favorite thing. She always 44 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: loved finding a dinosaur tooth well. As she stepped out 45 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: from her spaceship with all of her astronaut gear and 46 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: her palaeontology tools, she took her first step on the moon. Wow, 47 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: this is so cool, said Quinn. She turned around in 48 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: a circle to get a full view of everything on 49 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 1: the moon, and there it was Wow, I can see 50 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: planet Earth from here. It looks so small. Wow. She 51 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: was right. When you stand on the Moon and look 52 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: back towards the Earth, our whole planet looks way smaller. 53 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: But it's a pretty amazing viewed of Earth to stand 54 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: on the moon. She didn't have a lot of time to, 55 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, just enjoy the view. You know, if it 56 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: was me, I would want to just hole up a chair, 57 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: pop it open, maybe have a nice glass of lemonade 58 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: and sip my lemonade as I looked at all of 59 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: space and the stars and the planets and planet Earth. Then, 60 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: but there's no time for that. She needs to find 61 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: evidence of dinosaurs. Quinn opened up her bag of paleontology tools, 62 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: her pickaxe, and her brushes, and she started digging away 63 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: into the side of a mountain. You see, when you're 64 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: digging for fossils or just looking around, you don't know 65 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: exactly where to look, so you just have to start. 66 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: You have to start digging somewhere and hopefully find a 67 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: clue that will lead you to something interesting. Well, after 68 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: several hours of digging, she wanted to take a little 69 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: bit of a break. It was a very well earned 70 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: and well deserved break, might I add. She was walking 71 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: back to the spaceship to radio in back to BA 72 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: camp at Planet Earth to tell them an update that 73 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: she hadn't found any fossils yet. All right, Oh, the 74 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: team's gonna be kind of bummed to know that I 75 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: haven't found any fossils yet, said Quinn, But I have 76 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: to at least give them an update. She walked closer 77 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: and closer to the spaceship. All of a sudden she 78 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: saw something. What was that? It was a flash of light, 79 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: something that looked like it was moving kind of far away, 80 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: but it was very fast. She couldn't tell if it was, 81 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, maybe an asteroid that crashed on the Moon 82 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: and some rocks bounced around, or maybe a shadow from 83 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: the Sun, but either way, it caught her attention, and 84 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: she had to figure it out. Quinn to Bass, Quinn 85 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: to Base, I have not found any fossils yet a 86 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: few hours into the dig, but I did just observe 87 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: some strange movements over the hill. I need to go investigate. 88 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: I'll update you when I find out, Quinn over and 89 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: out sh Quinn put down the walkie talkie at her 90 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: spaceship and headed off towards whatever that was that caught 91 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: her eye. As she walked further and further down, this 92 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: valley on the Moon was very rocky. She had to 93 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: climb over boulders and jump over big holes. It's pretty 94 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: cool being on the Moon. You can jump a lot 95 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: higher when you're there because there's not as much gravity. 96 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: But as Quinn got closer and closer to what it 97 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: was that she had seen, she couldn't believe her eyes. 98 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: What in the world these totally look like dinosaur tracks. 99 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 1: She was right down in the dust of the moon 100 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: were footprints that looked like dinosaur tracks. This got Quinn 101 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: very excited because she loved finding footprints. Remember the two 102 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: things that that were her favorite things to find as 103 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: a paleontologist. Yes, footprints and teeth. Yeah, dinosaur teeth that 104 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: were fossilized. Oh, that was such a great find. Or 105 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: a fossilized footprint where it's it's like a footprint into 106 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: the rock. Wow, that is such a good find. But 107 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: as she knelt down, she realized that this was different. 108 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: Wait a second, said Quinn. This footprint is not fossilized. 109 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: It's in the dust. It's it's like a footprint, just 110 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: like if I were to step in the dust with 111 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: my boot. Quinn was right. As she looked back at 112 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: her footprints, they were identical to the type of footprints 113 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: that she was looking at here. No, she wasn't a dinosaur, 114 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: so they looked different, but it was still the same 115 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: way that you would press your boot or a foot 116 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: into the dust. Holy smokes, Did I just discover a 117 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: real dinosaur on the Moon? That can't be possible. There's 118 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: no way a dinosaur. Holy smokes. What in the world 119 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: has Quinn just discovered? Are there real dinosaurs on the 120 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Moon living there today? I'm not sure what's gonna happen, 121 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: but we're gonna have to wait and see what happens 122 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job, 123 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: you listened all the way to the end and you 124 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: know what seven is. It's time for kid shout out. 125 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: I want to say hey to Kyla Brian Ave from Massachusetts, 126 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Charlie from Florida, Harry from Australia, Nolan from Alabama, Aiden 127 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: from Prince Edward Island, and Eloise from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. 128 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you're all in the Kit Short 129 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: Stories family and on the spy team.
