1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kit

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Did you know that I built an Alexa

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: skill for you so that you can listen to a

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: whole lot easier on your Alexa devices. Yes. So, down

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: in the show notes below, there's a link for your

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: parents to enable that skill on a kid's Alexa device,

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: and that is going to make it a whole lot easier.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: So all you have to do is say, oh, Ale's up,

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: open Kid Short Stories, and it will play today's episode. Well, friends,

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Oh? I definitely am.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: Let's go. It was early one morning as Dwanie was

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: starting to wake up. She stretched her arms and looked around.

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: She was disappointed to see that it was still dark

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: again outside. You see, something very strange had been going

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: on over the past three or four days. You see,

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't raining, but the sky was just so dark.

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: It never turned blue, the sun never came out, and

18
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: the days just kept ticking on by. It's like almost

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: it was nighttime all the time, but you couldn't even

20
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: see the stars or the moon at night. It was

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: like the sky was completely missing, and Twanny she had

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: to do something about it. All right, today is the day,

23
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: she said, Today is the day that I rescue the

24
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: missing sky. Wow, that sounds like something that is almost

25
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: impossible to do. How in the world is she gonna

26
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: do that? Do you have any ideas of how you

27
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: could rescue the missing sky? Well, she started to think,

28
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: and YU should too. She started to wonder what she

29
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: needed to do. Hmm, do I need to clean the sky? Okay,

30
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: maybe I can use some window cleaner and fly right

31
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: up there and wash all that darkness away. I don't

32
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: think I have enough window cleaner for that. Hmm. What's

33
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: another good idea? Well? Uh, I could paint a new

34
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: sky that could work, but I don't have enough blue

35
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: paint or white for clouds. What am I gonna Dodwannie

36
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: was running out of ideas, but did not want to

37
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: give up. She was in the middle of eating breakfast

38
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: that morning she heard a sound that gave her a

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: really good idea. Outside, one of her parents was blowing

40
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: leaves out of the front yard grass with a giant

41
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: leaf blower, and her eyes got very wide and big.

42
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: I wonder if I flew up there on my jetpack

43
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: and I used that leaf blower to blow away all

44
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: those dark clouds that are covering up the whole sky.

45
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: That could actually work. She raced up to her bedroom

46
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: to grab her jetpack, which was all charged up and

47
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: ready to go. She threw it out over her back

48
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: and ran out to the front yard. Ah, could I

49
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: borrow this leaf blower? It's really really important. Uh what

50
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: you need it for? Said her dad. It's kind of

51
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: hard to explain, but you know how the sky has

52
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: been completely filled with all those really dark clouds and

53
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: we can't see anything for forever. I thought I could

54
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: maybe fly up there and blow them all away. Huh,

55
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: that's actually not a bad idea, said her dad. Let

56
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: me go grab you a fresh battery, and so you

57
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: can get a fully charged leaf blower and see if

58
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: you can clean up that ridiculous sky up there. Hold on.

59
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Her dad ran over to the garage to grab a

60
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: fresh battery. That was really good news, because hopefully, maybe,

61
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: just maybe her plan would actually work. All right, here

62
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: you go, Dwanni. Good luck up there, said her dad

63
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: as Dwannie blasted off towards the sky, or at least

64
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: where the sky used to be. Her jetpack was on

65
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: full throttle turbo mode. All right, I think this is

66
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: as high as I could go, she said to herself.

67
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: She was right. I don't think there's any way that

68
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: she could go any higher. That like black cloud thing,

69
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: whatever is stuck in the sky was way too thick

70
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: to push your way through. It was like there was

71
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a ceiling on the sky that is not normal. As

72
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: she turned on the leaf blower and pointed it towards

73
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: all that black cloud gunk, it instantly started working. She

74
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: was pushing all those black clouds away to let all

75
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: the sunlight in. She could see her dad down below,

76
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: standing with his hand over his eyes, looking way up high.

77
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: He started jumping around, cheering and clapping when he saw

78
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 1: the sun peek through the clouds that were now broken

79
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 1: up by that leaf blower. Wannie spent the next several

80
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: hours blowing as many of these black clouds away to

81
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: open up the sky. Everybody came out from their houses

82
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: to see what was going on because it had been

83
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: so long since the sun had come out. When that

84
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: sunlight finally broke through and lit up everyone's houses and

85
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: grass yards, they were all so happy to see the

86
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: sun and they all wondered how this happened. As Dwannie

87
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: finished the job, and had cleaned up the whole sky.

88
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: She landed back down in her home front yard. Dowannie,

89
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you. Great job, Thanks Dad. I

90
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: cannot wait to tell everybody that was it was you

91
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: that saved the sky. Oh that's okay, Dad said Dewannye,

92
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't need everybody to know. I'm just glad that

93
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: the sun is finally back and that darkness is finally gone. Wow,

94
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,119
Speaker 1: that's so cool. How Dwannie. Not only you know, save

95
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: the day and save the sky, but she didn't need

96
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: all the attention of getting the praise for it. Yeah,

97
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: that is a really special That means she is humble.

98
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: Do you know what it means to be humble? Well,

99
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: it can mean a lot of things, But in this example, Dwanny,

100
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: she didn't clean up the sky to get all the

101
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: attention of being the superhero of the day. She did

102
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: it to help the sunlight come through for herself and

103
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: for everybody else. That is in a very important lesson

104
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: that we should all learn about more. So, maybe tomorrow,

105
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: maybe there's something really nice that you can do for

106
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: somebody else, almost even secretly, like you are a good

107
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: deed spy, just like Dwnnie. Well, friends, that may be

108
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: the end of this story, but I think it's just

109
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of Dwnny's amazing adventures ahead the end. Great
