1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Short Stories. I was just looking at these reviews on

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts and this one was so awesome. It's from

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: a name called me. Oh my, our kids love this podcast.

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Five stars. Car rides have gotten so much better. Yes,

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: that is one really cool thing about these stories is

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: you can listen to him in the car, or getting

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: ready for bed, or really wherever. Well. Friends, today's story

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: comes to us from Evan, who was hanging out with

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: me on Instagram Live. You ready for today's story? Two,

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: let's go. It was a beautiful day at the beach

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: as Evan and Maddie were working on jumping over as

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: many waves as they could. Have You ever stood at

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: the edge of the ocean and watched as each wave

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: comes in, and then you whoa jump over each and

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: every wave. Oh I love that game. That can be

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: really fun and a great way to spend the day

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: at the beach. All right, Maddie, here comes the big one.

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Get ready, said Evan. One. Two three, whoa, whoa? That

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: one took me under, said Evan. Are you okay, Maddie?

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was ginormous. I decided to just hold

22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: my breath and go under the wave. You went under it,

23
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: said Evan. Yeah, it was better than getting smashed over,

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: said Maddie. You're so brave, said Evan. And it was

25
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: just thin that something caught Maddie's eye. Wait a second,

26
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: what is that down there? Evan? Do you see that

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: down shore of us, like way down the beach. She

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: was pointing with her finger down the side of the beach,

29
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: like along the ocean. Evan looked up and stood to

30
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: where she was and was looking straight over her finger,

31
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: trying to see exactly what she was pointing at. Uh,

32
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: it just looks like some rocks down there, said Evan.

33
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they're rocks. I swear I just saw

34
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: them move, said Maddie. What are you talking about. Rocks

35
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: can't move, said Evan. Come on, here comes another big wave.

36
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: But Mattie was focused, and all of a sudden she

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: saw another thing that caught her eye. Evan, there's a

38
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: ship down there, like it looks like a giant pirate ship. Maddie,

39
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: stop making things up. There's no ohh, that totally looks

40
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: like a pirate ship. Evan was about to say, there's

41
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: no such things as a pirate ship. But then he

42
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: looked Penny saw it. It was a real pirate ship,

43
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: just down the shore a little ways. Come on, let's

44
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: go check it out, said Evan, and as he took

45
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: off running along the shoreline, his feet were splashing in

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: the edge of the waves of the water, and Maddie

47
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: was following closely behind. Wait, heaven, shouldn't we I don't know,

48
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: should we not be running towards a pirate ship? That

49
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: sounds a little crazy? Yeah, you're right, Maddie. Come on,

50
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: let's go hide in the bushes up by the top

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: of the beach. Come on. Eavan then changed the strategy

52
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: because Maddie I think was right. You probably shouldn't just

53
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: run towards a pirate ship. That sounds a little dangerous.

54
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: But they ran up the beach and now jumped into

55
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: the forest that was right next to the beach, and

56
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: ran through the trees and bushes along the way. But

57
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they stopped in their tracks, and

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: he heard a big Maddie, don't move, wait, actually get down.

59
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: They both took cover behind some bushes and dove in

60
00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the sand. What's that, said Mattie. I don't know. That

61
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: sounded like some kind of monster, said Evan. But then

62
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Maddie saw it. Look look at those rocks that I

63
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: was pointing at earlier. They're not rocks. I told you,

64
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: they're alive, she said. Evan turned around and looked and said,

65
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: you're kidding me. Those things you look like lava? Are

66
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: those lava monsters? Shouted Evan. They were both frozen in

67
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: a panic, not exactly sure what to do or where

68
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: to go. What would you do if you saw real

69
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: live lava monsters? Yeah, I'm talking lava monsters that are

70
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: just as big as you are, but they're covered and

71
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: made out of lava. I don't know, friends, I think

72
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: you'd have to be pretty brave to survive that one. Maddie,

73
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: come on, let's get a little closer, closer, she said,

74
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? The little lava monsters got

75
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 1: a pirate ship, two things that we should probably stay

76
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: away from. She said, yeah, but I just want to

77
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: see what's going on down there. You see. I think

78
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: curiosity was definitely driving Evan's thought process. It definitely did

79
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: not sound like a good idea, but maybe, just maybe

80
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: they would be able to figure out what's going on.

81
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 1: As they crept closer and closer to where those lava

82
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: monsters were. They saw that the pirate ship was getting

83
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: closer and closer to shore right in front of them.

84
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: Birates, you best get on out of here. You're not

85
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 2: gonna find our treasure in the cave and the volcano.

86
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: We won't let you get any closer.

87
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Said the lava monsters. Her, what are you talking about?

88
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: Maybe if it's a treasure, it's a mind step on

89
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: a side, or else we'll blow you a kingdom.

90
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 2: Come.

91
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like the pirates are trying to steal those

92
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: LoVa monsters treasure, said Evan. And they said it's back

93
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: in that cave back there, said Maddie. I think I

94
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: can even almost see the cave. Do you think we

95
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: should go check it out? Hold on a second, let's

96
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: pause the story. What do you think do you think

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: they should go check out that cave in the mountain

98
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: that the lava monsters are guarding, and they said they

99
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 1: have some kind of treasure in there? Do you think

100
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Evan and Maddie should keep following? What? What are you

101
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: talking about? Do you think they? Oh? Oh, dear, all right, well,

102
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Evan and Maddie started walking towards the cave closer and closer,

103
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: deeper and deeper into the forest they went. It's a

104
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: good thing those lava monsters were distracted by the pirates,

105
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: but who knows how long that will last, quan Maddie.

106
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: We're almost there, said Evan, as he was pulling himself

107
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: up on some big rocks. I can see the cave

108
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: right there. Um. I don't see the treasure though, but

109
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: come on, let's get closer. Okay, I'm coming. Maddie pulled

110
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: herself up and brushed off her shorts. They walked inside

111
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: the cave and immediately couldn't believe it. Are those real?

112
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Said Maddie. Gold coins, shouted Evan. Are you kidding me?

113
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: Said Maddie. You want those.

114
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Lava monsters toay hear us?

115
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Come on, fill your pockets and let's get out of here,

116
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: she said. Evan and Maddie filled their pockets with gold coins.

117
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Oh is that back here? That sounded like the lava monster.

118
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: They must be getting closer. Come on, let's get out

119
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: of here, said Evan. Maddie and Evan found a back

120
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: way out of this cave and snuck out through the

121
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: trees and slid down the hill. Those pirates never stood

122
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: a chance and steal in my treasure, said the lava monster.

123
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: I'm never leaving this cave. Now wait a second, are

124
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: some of my gold coins missing? You pirates, come back here.

125
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Evan and Maddie couldn't believe it as they ran back

126
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: to their family, who was on the beach. They were

127
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: so excited to share the treasure that they had discovered

128
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: at the cave. Holy smokes, what would you do if

129
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: you found a whole bunch of coins in a lava

130
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: monster cave? Well that may be the end of the story,

131
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: but I think it's just the beginning of Evan and

132
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Maddie's adventures that lie ahead the end. Hey, friends, I
