1 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from THEO. Hey THEO, 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: he sent me an awesome idea for a story, and 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: you can't you just head over to kidshort stories dot com. 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe you'll turn it into 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for an incredible 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 1: Minecraft adventure where the server crasses and he has to 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: save the day? Me too, Let's go. THEO had just 9 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: gotten home from school. It was time to do his 10 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,639 Speaker 1: chores and his homework, and then once he had all 11 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: of those things done, then he got to play a 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: little bit of Minecraft. Do you know what Minecraft is? 13 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: It's a really fun game where you can build a 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: world or build houses and caves and tree houses, and 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: it's very fun and THEO loved it so much. But 16 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: he had to make sure that all of his schoolwork 17 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: and his chores were done before he could play. All right, 18 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: just a few more things and then I'm almost done, 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: said THEO. He was working on his math homework. Math 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: is really fun and THEO was really good at it. 21 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: All right. Two plus five is seven ten minus four? 22 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: What's ten minus four? Two? O? Six, and then what's 23 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: six plus eight? Wha, that's hard six plus eight fourteen? Yeah, fourteen, Yes, 24 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm all done. THEO, before his homework, had already taken 25 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: out the garbage and cleaned up his room and made 26 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: his bed. And now that his homework has done meant 27 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: he got to play thirty minutes of Minecraft. Wooo. He 28 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: raced over and his controller and turned it on and 29 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: nothing happened. What it's not working today? Oh, come on, 30 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: I guess I gotta reboot it. I hope I don't 31 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: lose my world. He had been building a world for 32 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: a very long time. It was amazing, all the different 33 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: houses and buildings and caves, and he pretty much built 34 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: a whole city. It's amazing. Well, he had to reboot 35 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: a system and hopefully that would help it work. As 36 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: he flipped it off, he unplugged it and plugged it 37 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: back in and then turned it on and ow, something 38 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: crazy happened. When he rebooted the system. There was some 39 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: kind of little bit of spark and it sent him 40 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: inside of the game. He's now inside of Minecraft. Done 41 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: done down wha. As THEO was sailing through the air, 42 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: he was flying through the clouds and then all of 43 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: a sudden, he crashed into the dirt. Ohh ow where 44 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: in the what the wait a second, he knew exactly 45 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: where he was. As he looked around, he brushed off 46 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: the dirt. And is this Minecraft? He smokes, This is amazing? 47 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: THEO is that you? Oh? Oh my, who's there? My 48 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: name is Edgar and I am one of the rangers 49 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: here and you must come with me. A ranger. I've 50 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: never heard of those, said THEO. Yes, we only come 51 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: out in emergencies. Our job is to guard the serfers. 52 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: Something terrible has happened that might end Minecraft forever. You 53 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: must hurry. THEO followed Edgar as they ran through Minecraft. 54 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: This is my world, as THEO was looking around. As 55 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: they were running, he built all of this. Oh it 56 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: looks even better in person, said THEO. Look there's there's 57 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: my castle, and oh there's the mansion, and there's the 58 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: store and oh wow, this is so cool. THEO couldn't 59 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: believe it. He had spent a really long time building 60 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: this amazing city, and to see it in person it 61 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: was pretty amazing. Edgar, so, like, what's going on with 62 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: the server? Like, what are you talking about? It's gonna 63 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: crash well, you see, somehow the zombies have broken through 64 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: and they are trying to attack the server. We must 65 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: stop them or else the game will be done forever. 66 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: What how is that even possible? I mean think zombies 67 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: could do that? Oh there was a special new breed 68 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: of zombies. And I know it all sounds confusing, but 69 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: it will make sense once we get there. Edgar arrived 70 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: at a cave and opened this locked door that THEO 71 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: had never seen before. As they walked in the cave, 72 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: there it was a giant room full of servers. These 73 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: servers were like big computers, and they were the brains 74 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: behind all of Minecraft. The room was full of rangers 75 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: who were looking for special instructions. Attention everyone, I have 76 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: found THEO and he is here to rescue all of Minecraft. 77 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: Went ah, what are you talking about? I'm just a kid. 78 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: What do you mean? I can't I don't know what 79 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: to do, said THEO. Don't worry, THEO. You built this 80 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: world and you know all of its secrets. We are 81 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: waiting for your plan. THEO started to realize that he 82 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: was serious. These rangers were looking up to THEO to 83 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: save the day. How was he going to do it? 84 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: How is he going to stop these weird zombies from 85 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: breaking in and crashing the server. But the one really 86 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: amazing thing about THEO is he's incredibly creative and amazing 87 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: at solving problems. In Minecraft, when you're building things, you 88 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: have to think about a plan. You have to to 89 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: know what you're going to do before you do it. 90 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: That's something that THEO had a lot of practice in. 91 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: All right, well, we could set some traps, like I 92 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: always love setting up the traps to catch the zombies 93 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: and and and then they're not able to get into 94 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: my bases and stuff, said THEO. That is a great idea. 95 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: But how, oh, should we set the traps around the servers? 96 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: THEO grabbed some paper and some pens and started to 97 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: draw out all the strategy he needed to make traps 98 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: and secret entrances and doors that locked and everything that 99 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: would stop them from breaking in. All right, guys, this 100 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: is the plan, this is how we're going to do it, 101 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: and I need your help, said THEO. He gave instructions 102 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: to all of the rangers, and immediately the rangers got 103 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: to work. Wouldn't that be so cool if you went 104 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: inside a game like Minecraft and had to save the 105 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: day for real. Wow, THEO is so lucky. I wonder 106 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Pretty soon, the rangers had executed all 107 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: of Theo's plan. They had traps set and motes and 108 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: secret entrances with doors and it was amazing. And now 109 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: they had to lure all the zombies and creatures into 110 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: the traps. This is something that THEO was really good at. 111 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: That was the sound of the zombies and creatures. They're 112 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: getting closer. I hope the trap works. THEO was a 113 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: little nervous inside of his mind, but he had to 114 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: choose to be brave for all of the rangers because 115 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: they they were counting on him. And one by one, 116 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: bloop bloop bloop, each of the zombies and creatures and 117 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: walkers they all dropped into the traps. Yes, look, the 118 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: traps were filling up with all the bad guys and 119 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: THEO had saved the day. All the rangers were shouting THEO, 120 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: THEO who has been saved in all of its servers 121 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: and just like that, as THEO blinked, blink, oh wait 122 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: a second, I'm back in my house. Was that for real? 123 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: As THEO opened his eyes and wait, the game was 124 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: playing and all of his traps that he had built. 125 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: He was looking at them at the screen. THEO had 126 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: not only built some amazing new pieces to his world 127 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: and Minecraft, but he had also saved the game forever. 128 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: Great job, Theo, you save the day, and I know 129 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: this is just the beginning of his amazing adventure the end.
