Sydney was 10 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: playing with all of her friends and they were racing 11 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: around the playground. What is your favorite game to play 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: at the playground? There's so many different ones to choose, 13 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: like lava or Turtle Tag or Freeze Tag or I 14 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: didn't seek there's Oh my goodness, there are so many 15 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: different games. Well, Sydney and her friends they were playing 16 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: Freeze Tag and Sydney was it seven, eight, nine, ten 17 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: ready or not here I come? She started running around 18 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: and Sidney was very fast. All of her friends were 19 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: shouting and trying to run away. Sidney started tagging them 20 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: one by one, tag frozen, You're frozen ha ha, And 21 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: now what happens if you get tagged and you're frozen. 22 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: How do you get unfrozen? Yeah, one of your other 23 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: friends has to tag you, and then you become unfrozen, 24 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: hopefully before Sydney catches everybody, because if she freezes everybody, 25 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: then she wins and the game is over. Well, Sydney 26 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: was very fast, faster than most of her other friends, 27 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: and in just a few minutes she had frozen everybody. Whoo, 28 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: I won, shouted Sydney. All right, let's play again. Who 29 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: wants to be it? Everyone was looking around. They had 30 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: all now become unfrozen. Wait, Isaiah, we're uh, the game's done. 31 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: You can be unfrozen. Oh Isaiah. I love that you're 32 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: committed to being frozen, said Sydney. But the game is 33 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: now over. We're gonna We're gonna do it again, so 34 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: you can be unfrozen for real. Oh cool? Whoa wait 35 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: a second, you actually frozen? Sydney couldn't believe it. She 36 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: turned around to all of our friends, who their mouths 37 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: were hanging open. Somehow Isaiah had actually become frozen. Done, dundun, 38 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? 39 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: Oh? No, how do we How did this happen? 40 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: You see. There was an old, old, long ago legend. 41 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: Do you know what a legend is. Yeah, legend is 42 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: like an old story that they've told for years and 43 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: years and years. Well, there was an old legend that 44 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: the kids used to talk about about this park. You see, 45 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: this playground. They had heard a legend that something strange 46 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: happens here every once in a while if you stand 47 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: in a certain spot, something strange, like the game actually 48 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: comes to life, like the game that you're playing becomes 49 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: for real. Well, I wonder if Isaiah has stepped in 50 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: that certain spot of this playground. There's some kind of 51 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: magic under those woodchips. I don't know, said Sydney. But guys, 52 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: I think we gotta go to Magic Mountain. 53 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: Magic Mountain. 54 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: All of the friends were very afraid of that mountain. 55 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: It was a mountain that you could see from the playground. 56 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: It was often the distance, but just looked really scary looking. 57 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: It was pokey and it had really big cliffs and 58 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: it looked I don't know. There were lots of legends 59 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: about that mountain as well, and no one was brave 60 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: enough to climb it. Guys, I'm serious, said Sidney. I 61 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: think this might be the only way to get Isaiah 62 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: un frozen. I don't know, Sidney. We're not very good 63 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: at exploring and adventuring. We're not as good as you, 64 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: said one of our friends. I think it's time. I 65 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: think I need to go home. Bye. Pretty soon, one 66 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: by one, all of the friends left except Isaiah. He 67 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: was still frozen, so it was just Sydney and Isaiah 68 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: standing in this park. Sydney started to think, Okay, I 69 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: really think I could do this. I have all the 70 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: gear and all right, Isaiah, I'm not gonna give up 71 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: on you. I am gonna get you unfrozen. Not sure how, 72 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: not sure when. I'm never gonna stop until we do. Hey, shit, 73 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: hey hey. It was really hard for Isaiah to talk, 74 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: but I think he was saying thank you to Sydney. 75 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: Sidney dragged Isaiah over to a park bench and let 76 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: him lay down there. He was still frozen, so he 77 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: couldn't move, but she was able to get him onto 78 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: that bench. That would be a little more comfortable and safer. 79 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: All right, gotta go get my stuff. Sydney raced home, 80 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: grabbed all of her gear, and off she hiked. She 81 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: had to get to Magic Mountain fast. It was already 82 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: past lunch, and so there weren't that many more hours 83 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: left in the daytime, and she had to get him unfrozen. 84 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: It became nighttime. Sydney had been running as fast as 85 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: she could towards the mountain. She had all her gear 86 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: and her hiking boots, and there it was. She was 87 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: now standing in front of the mountain, looking straight up 88 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: into the sky. Can you imagine a really tall mountain 89 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: and what if you were standing right next to it? Wow, 90 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: it looks even taller from right next to it, said Sydney. 91 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: But I gotta do this. Another part of the legend 92 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: of Magic Mountain is there was some kind of magical 93 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: creature that lived on this mountain that guarded a magical cure, 94 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: a cure that she hoped would save Isaiah. As she 95 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: started to climb the mountain and get higher and higher, 96 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: it pretty quickly got windy and cold. As the winds howled, 97 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: Sydney was glad that she had brought her jacket and 98 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: her hats and gloves because this was very cold, probably 99 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: as cold as Isaiah was feeling since he was completely frozen. 100 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: So Sidney knew that she had to just choose to 101 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: be brave and choose to not let the coldie cold 102 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: wind get in her way. She continued hiking further and 103 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: further up Magic Mountain. None of her friends had ever 104 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: gotten this far, and so she was pretty proud of herself. 105 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden she heard a sound on. 106 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: Your turls lot. What was that sound? 107 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: Was that the sound of the creature that guards the 108 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: magical cure on the mountain? 109 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. 110 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: It sounds a little silly, but a little scary. We'll 111 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: have to wait and see what happened on the next 112 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: episode of Kid Short Stories. 113 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: Bye, great job, you listened all the way to the end, 114 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: and you know what time it is. 115 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: It's time for Kid Shout Out.
