00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Short Stories Today. Story comes to us from Lila and Casper.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Hey guys, they sent me an awesome idea for a story,

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: and you can too. Just head over to kid short

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: stories dot com. Send me your I D and maybe

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: ready to go on a prehistoric adventure of finding fossils?

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Me too? Let's go. One day, Lila and Casper were

9
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: playing in their backyard. They were having lots of fun

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: in their sandbox. Have you ever played in sand before? Oh?

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: I hope so. Well, digging in sand or building with

12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: sand is really fun. But Lilah and Casper they archaeologists

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: preparing to go on a fossil hunt. Wait, what is

14
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: an archaeologist? Do you know what an archaeologist is? Oh?

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: An archaeologist. That's the one that's the job that they

16
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: look for dinosaur bones or or fossils and where do

17
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: those live? Like if you were to go looking for fossils,

18
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: would you look if they're hanging from trees like apples? No? No, no,

19
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: no no, they're not hanging from trees. Uh? Are they

20
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: like inside of swimming pools. No, usually not not there. Yeah,

21
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, they're usually like maybe in the ground

22
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: or in a river, or maybe on a lake. Yeah,

23
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: there's lots of places that you can find some really

24
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: cool fossils. Well, Lila and Casper, they like to hide

25
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: things in their sandbox and then go dig for them. Whoa, Casper,

26
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: look at this as Lila pulled out a giant fossil.

27
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: This was a fossil of a real clamshell from a

28
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: very long time ago. Wow. Good, fine, Lila, said Casper.

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: All right, I think there's just two more left. Um, oh,

30
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: here's one, said Casper. He had dug in the far

31
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: corner of the same box and had found another fossil.

32
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: And here's the last one, said Lila. Wow. I think

33
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: that's a world record. I don't think we've ever found

34
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: all our fossils before that fast. We're getting pretty good,

35
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: said Lila. They were a great team, Casper and Lilah.

36
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: They loved to dig together. But not only that, they

37
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: were actually pretty good at it. They both had their

38
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: different jobs and they worked together like a great team.

39
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: And we're very productive in finding fossils. All right, guy is,

40
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: let's put on our shoes. It's time to go, said

41
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: their parents. It was time to go on a real

42
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: fossil hunting adventure. They lived in Norfolk, UK, which had

43
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: so many cool fossils, and they were going to go

44
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: to a river nearby and look in the river bed.

45
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what a river bed is? Oh? Is

46
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: it where we go to sleep at night? No? No, no, no,

47
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: that would just be a normal bed. Well, a river bed,

48
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: that's that's the bottom of the river. Usually it's like

49
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: a pretty clear water and there's lots of rocks and

50
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: sand at the river bed. And do you know who

51
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: who goes to sleep in the river bed? Usually fossils. Yeah, riverbeds,

52
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: the bottom of rivers or the shoreline where the sand

53
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: and the rocks are, that's usually a great place to

54
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: find fossils. And that's where Lilah and Casper were going

55
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: today with their parents. Because they loaded up in the

56
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: car and off they drove. They could not wait for

57
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: this adventure. What do you think we're gonna find, Lila? Oh,

58
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I hope we find like shark teeth or a dinosaur

59
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: or maybe even a wooly mammoth. Wow, any one of

60
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: those things would be awesome to find, said Lila, I

61
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: hope we, you know, at least find something cool. They

62
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: had just arrived, and they raced out of the car

63
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: and quickly splashed in the river. You do have to

64
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: get a little wet sometimes when you're looking for fossils,

65
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: but it helps when it's a nice hot day. Lila

66
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: and Casper started to wade through the river on the shore.

67
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: It was nice and shallow, but they were looking looking

68
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: for something amazing. Casper, come over here, hurry, I think

69
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: I found something. Lila was pointing at. Something was sticking

70
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: out from the sand in the rocks, something that did

71
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: not look normal. Holy smokes, look at that thing. It's huge.

72
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: As Lilah carefully moved the sand away, Casper could not wait. Hurry,

73
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: bulit out, Blair, hurry, hurry, wait, wait, wait, we gotta

74
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: be careful with it so it doesn't break, said Lila.

75
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: They had carefully moved all the sand in the rocks

76
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: around it and gently pulled it out. It was a

77
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: real megalodon tooth. This is amazing. Lila held it in

78
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: both hands. A megalodon. Do you know what a megalodon is.

79
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: It's a very very big shark that lived a very

80
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: long time ago. And I don't think they live here anymore.

81
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: I think they're extinct. But their teeth are very big.

82
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: They're bigger than your hand, Like if you were to

83
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: lay your hand out like pancake, it's bigger than that. WHOA,

84
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: I would not want to meet one of those sharks

85
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: in the wild in real life. Well, Lila put their

86
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: find in a bag. This was a very good fossil

87
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: bag to have. It was nice and soft, so they

88
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: could put things inside of it and it wouldn't get damaged.

89
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: As they continued searching, Casper was the next one to

90
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: find something amazing. Uh wait, what is this over here?

91
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: He found a rock that looked like there was a

92
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: little marking on it, and he started to move all

93
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the dirt and mud and sand off of it. He

94
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: swished it in the water to make it nice and clean.

95
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: It was a pretty big one those This rock was

96
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: hard to lift because it was so big and heavy.

97
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: But as he lifted it out of the clean water, whoa,

98
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: Lila look at this, shouted Casper. He had found a

99
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: giant and fossil of a wooly mammoth tusk. Oly smokes,

100
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: those are so cool. Do you guys know what wooly

101
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: mammoths are Yeah. They are giant creatures from a long

102
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: time ago that look like elephants. Like picture a normal

103
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: gray elephant with their tusks and their long trunk, just

104
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: like that. But wooly mammoths are wooly. Do you know

105
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: what wooly means? Furry? They had hair all over their bodies,

106
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: not like elephants today. They looked pretty silly and it

107
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: looks like they needed a haircut or something. But wooly

108
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: mammoths are really cool. They don't live anymore, unfortunately, But

109
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: to find a fossil of them, he's a big deal.

110
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Casper couldn't believe it. His eyes were ginormous as he

111
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: held up this giant fossil of the wooly mammoth tusk. Oh,

112
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: this might be the greatest find I've ever done, shouted Casper.

113
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Lilah was really proud of her brother. They added this

114
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: new fossil to their fossil bag. They couldn't wait to

115
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: show their parents. Off to the distance. Next to the

116
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: river was a strange pool of water. It was very

117
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: sparkly it it had a glitter glow to it. As

118
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: they went over towards this special pond. They thought it

119
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: was gonna be a great place to wash off their

120
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: fossils and show their parents. Casper was first and grabbed

121
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: his fossil of the wooly mammoth tusk and was rinsing

122
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: it off in this very sparkly clean water. This is

123
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: gonna be so cool. Oh no, He dropped it into

124
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: the water and it was very deep. But where to go?

125
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: They couldn't see it anymore, and then all of a sudden,

126
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: a wooly mammoth walked out of this pond. What on

127
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: earth has just happened? He dropped that fossil into that water,

128
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: and a real holy mammoth walked out. What have they

129
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: just discovered? Did this magical pond turn all fossils into

130
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: living creatures? Should Lilah drop her megleton shark tooth into

131
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: it and see what happens? Oh dear, this is a

132
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: crazy adventure and only the beginning. Wow, they have found

133
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: an amazing place that turns fossils into real creatures. If

134
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: you found a fossil and could put it in this

135
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: magical pond, what kind of animal would you want it

136
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: to be? Would you like to find a dinosaur fossil

137
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: and turn it into a real creature or like or

138
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: like Lilah found the Megleton shark tooth, would you like

139
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: to turn h shark tooth into a real megalodon shark?

140
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that would be so cool. Well, I

141
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: think this is just the beginning of Lilah and Casper's

142
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: amazing fossil adventure. But it's the end of our story.

143
