00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Kids Short Stories. Today's stories coming from

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: one of our listeners, Nate. Hi, Nate, I hope you're

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: doing well and I just got your review and it

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: looks so cool. I hear that you love soccer, robots

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: and dinosaurs. Are you ready for an adventure with those

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: three things? Me too? Let's go. One day. A long

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: time ago, there was a boy named Nate. Nate love

8
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: to play soccer and he was a very good soccer player.

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: He scored so many goals and was the best player

10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: on his team. One day at practice, he there was

11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: a bag of balls that their team was using to practice,

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: and it was a new bag with all new balls,

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: and he was really excited to start playing with him.

14
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: And so he reached into the bag and picked up

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: one that felt a little heavy. It felt different, but

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: he was really excited and anyway, he grabbed the ball

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: and started dribbling and kicking it around with his feet

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: and did some really cool moves. But chop, he was

19
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: so fast and he was really good at playing soccer.

20
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, the ball it started

21
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: to roll by itself. He couldn't believe it. He had

22
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: never seen anything like it before. Even if his foot

23
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: didn't kick the ball, the ball would bounce and move

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: and jump around, back and forth. It was crazy. And

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: then it started to open up. You, oh my gosh,

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: it was crazy. The ball like it looked like it

27
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: was a creature that had curled into a ball and

28
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: was starting to open up. And it was a robot,

29
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: a real robot. And Nate said, what in the world

30
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: are you doing? And the robot said, hello, my name

31
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: is Soccerbot. What is your name. Nate couldn't believe it.

32
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: He said, uh, my name's Nate. Nice to meet you.

33
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: What are you doing and why are you in my

34
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: soccer practice? And the robots said, well, you're seeing there's

35
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: a problem and I need your help. Come with me.

36
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: Nate said, uh what, what's the problem? Robots said, uh, well,

37
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: you're see there are some dinosaurs that need your help.

38
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Nate was so excited. He loved dinosaurs and so he

39
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: really wanted to help, and so he said, okay, what

40
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: what do we do? And the robot said, all right,

41
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: you see this here. Oh my gosh. The robot made

42
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: a hole in the ground that was glowing purple, and

43
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: it had all these lights and glitter and sparkles. It

44
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: was crazy, and the robot said, let's go, and all

45
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Nate and the robot fell into this giant,

46
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: purple sparkly hole in the ground. Whoa, Nate and the

47
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: robot came crashing down through a portal. It was a

48
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: real portal that transported it in into dinosaur times. Done done,

49
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: dune and pretty soon swop oh. Nate said, what in

50
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: the where? Where are we? We are in dinosaur times?

51
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: The robots said. Nate looked around and sure enough, everything

52
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: looked different. His soccer field was gone, all the other

53
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: people we're gone. What in the And he turned around

54
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, there was a giant brontosaurus. Those

55
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: are humongous. Oh my gosh, this wait? Am I dreaming?

56
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Nate said this this has to be a dream and

57
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the robots said, no, this says not a dream. You

58
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: are in dinosaur time. There's a dinosaur that needs your help.

59
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: Come with me. And Nate followed the robot all the

60
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: way down a trail, past a lava volcano and underneath

61
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: giant snakes. They finally made it to where the dinosaur

62
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: needed help, and oh my gosh, he was sinking in

63
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: quick mud. Quick mud is the worst kind of mud

64
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: in the world. If you get stuck, it's almost impossible

65
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: to get out in This dinosaur was definitely stuck. Oh

66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: my gosh, what are we gonna do, Nate said. The

67
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: robot said, well, you know, seeing I'm not big enough

68
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: to help the dinosaur, but Nate, you are definitely big enough. Oh.

69
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: Nate had an idea. What if we grabbed some branches

70
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: and throw it over to the dinosaur and grab on

71
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: with his mouth and we can pull him out. Do

72
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: you think that'll work? My calculations saying yes, it will

73
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: work great, And Nate ran over and found a whole

74
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: bunch of branches. They were ginormous, and he pulled him

75
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: over and threw him onto the sinking mud, just in

76
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: reach of the dinosaur, and the dinosaur looked over. His

77
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: eyes got so big, and his mouth made a big

78
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: dinosaur smile. Have you ever seen a dinosaur smile? Me? Neither.

79
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a very big smile. And so soon enough a

80
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: dinosaur grabbed onto the branch, and Nate pulled. Heaved and

81
00:06:52,880 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: holed and bold and bold, and finally got the dinosaur. Hooray, Nick,

82
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: you did it. You saved the dinosaur. The robots said, Nate,

83
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: we're foreverythingful for you. Now we gotta get you home.

84
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: And Nate said, how do we get home? This is

85
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: very far away from my soccer practice. And the robots said,

86
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: we have a problem. What's the problem. Nate said, I'm lost.

87
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: The robots said, you're lost. You can't be lost. We

88
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: gotta get back now. My mom and dad are gonna

89
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: be freaked out if if I'm gone too long. And

90
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: the robots said, well, you have got it back to

91
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: where we came from. Do you remember how we comes you?

92
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: And Nate said yes, it's definitely oh sho oh no,

93
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: he couldn't remember. Uh m hmmm. Let's go this way.

94
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: And they started running and that wasn't right, and then

95
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. Up on a hill there it was

96
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: a giant t rex. Don't move. Oh my gosh, what

97
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: do we do? Don't l The robot said, we gotta

98
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: get out of here. Oh no, he sees us. We

99
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: gotta run. Run, and Nate and the robot took off,

100
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: running as fast as they could. Whoa, there it is,

101
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: there it is. There's the portal jump jump. Nate and

102
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: the robot jumped in the poor just in time? Who who?

103
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: They were both screaming as loud as they could, and then,

104
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, with a button, Nate and the

105
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: robot landed in the middle of the soccer field, right

106
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. Oh my gosh, I

107
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: gotta start playing, by robot. I'll see you later. I'm

108
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: glad I could help. Thanks for helping the dinosaurs. We're

Speaker 1: forever grateful and Nate, we love you, Thank you, Mine

110

Speaker 1: and the road. The robot then disappeared, never to be

111
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: seen again. Nate the Great was a superhero that day.

112
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: Not only did he score the game winning goal of

113
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: a soccer game, but he also saved the dinosaur the

114
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: end
