1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story we are gonna continue in talking

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: about our three pillars of being on the spy team. Well,

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: today's story comes to us from Aida and Macy. They

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: are gonna teach us how important self control is. Self

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: control is one of our pillars of being a spy.

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: So listen close. Are you ready for today's adventure meat too,

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Let's go. Aida and Macy lived in a very special place.

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: They live next to this almost magical looking forest. It

10
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: was full of all the most amazing plants, all kinds

11
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: of plants for different reasons, like plants you could eat.

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Like what when you think of a plant that you

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: could eat, what comes to mind? Apple trees maybe, yep,

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: there's apple trees in the forest. Any anything else? Maybe

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: some strawberries or or blueberries or oh yeah, there's so

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: many delicious plants and all of them were in this forest.

17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: And there was also plants for medicine. Did you know

18
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: that plants have been medicine for a very very long time. Yeah,

19
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: there's some kinds of plants that you might eat to

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: help your tummy feel better, or to help you sleep better,

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: or there's all kinds of different things that live in

22
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: this forest in Aida and Macy's backyard. Well, today they

23
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: were going on a scavenger hunt. They had a whole

24
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: list of plants that they needed to find, and they

25
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 1: were almost all done. Macy, I just need some peppermint leaves.

26
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Do you see any over there? Uh? Own? Aida? Nothing

27
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: over here? I knew that there were some where did

28
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: they go? Said Ada? M hm? Oh wait, look over

29
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: here behind the bush. Macy peeled it back and there

30
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: it was a delicious looking peppermint plant. Have you ever

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: smelled peppermint before? Oh? It smells so good. And did

32
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: you know that there's real peppermint leaves. Yeah, that's where

33
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: the smell of peppermint comes from. And if you break

34
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: the leaf in half and you smell it, oh, it

35
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: smells just like toothpaste or gum or a peppermint hot chocolate,

36
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: and oh boy, I love peppermints. Well, Ada and Macy

37
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: had finished their list of all the things that they

38
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: needed to find. Tonight they were having a very special

39
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: backyard camp fire with their family. Aida and Macy had

40
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: been looking forward to this for a very long time,

41
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: and the peppermint leaves were going to be a very

42
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: special secret ingredient to their s'mores. Have you ever had

43
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: a s'more before? Oh? I love s'mores. The Graham crackers,

44
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: the marshmallows, and the chocolate. Oh, I just I would

45
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: eat a hundred of them, probably you two, well, Ada

46
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: and Macie there they should need a hundred. But they

47
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: were looking forward to tonight. So they had gathered all

48
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: the sticks and everything that they needed for the campfire.

49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: But it was time for dinner first. And do you

50
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: know what they were going to cook over their campfire?

51
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Hot dogs on sticks. Have you ever done that before? Oh?

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: It's super fun. They put the hot dogs on the

53
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: sticks and roasted it right over the fire. I love

54
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: the smell of the campfire, said Ada. Ada and Macy

55
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: were sitting next to each other on a very big

56
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: log that was to the fire. Their parents were on

57
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: the other side, and everyone was having a very nice night. Ah. So,

58
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: anyone have a story, said one of their parents. Oh

59
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: I have a story, said Macy. Everybody leaned in because

60
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: Macy was a very good storyteller. One day, me and

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: Ada we went to the beach and all of a sudden,

62
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: there was a magical chocolate fountain in the center of

63
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: the beach, and then when we started eating it, we

64
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: turned into ants from the giant squid. Dreading kidding. I

65
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: think she's remembering the story from kit short stories about

66
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: the ants that are the people that turned into the

67
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: ants because of the giant squid. That is a silly story. Well,

68
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Macy finished the story and everyone was laughing. After they

69
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: finished their hot dogs, it was time for smalls. Shouted Ada, Ada,

70
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: and Macy. You raced back inside to get all the

71
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: ingredients that they had prepared, and especially the peppermint leaves. Oh,

72
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: that would be a really special magical touch to a s'more.

73
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: What do you think would be a fun addition to

74
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: some more Because normally it's it's graham crackers and marshmallows

75
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: and chocolate. But what if you put peanut butter inside

76
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: of it? Or what if you put ntella or oh,

77
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: my goodness, there's so many different things that you could

78
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: put in a sumore to make it taste delicious, and

79
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Aida really wanted to taste it with a peppermint leaf.

80
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: As they came back to the fire, Macy was the

81
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: first one to grab a stick and she put the

82
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: marshmallow on the stick, and their parents reminded them, all right, guys,

83
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: remember these things get really hot, and so I know,

84
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: as much as you want to eat them as fast

85
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: as you can, after you're cooking the marshmallow, you have

86
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: to give it a minute to cool down, or else

87
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: it might burn your finger. Okay, Macy put on two

88
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: marshmallows onto her stick, and so did Ada. Oh this

89
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be so good, said Macy. This is the

90
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: moment where everything is about to change. Remember at the beginning,

91
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: we talked about self control being a pillar of being

92
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: on the spy team. Do you know what self control means?

93
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Self control means that you are in control of your body,

94
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes it means that you need to follow the

95
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: rules because the rules are in place because they don't

96
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 1: want you to get hurt. And this is a great

97
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: example of a rule that you need to follow. Do

98
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: you know what happens if you touch a scalding hot marshmallow? Yes,

99
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: it could burn the skin on your hand. And that's

100
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: what Aidan Macy's parents. They don't want that to happen.

101
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: But unfortunately Macy wanted that marshmallow a little too much.

102
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Oh no, it's burning. I gotta blow it out.

103
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: Macy carefully blew out the marshmallow, but she was a

104
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: little too excited to get it on her Graham crackers

105
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: to eat. Macy grabbed the marshmallow off way too quickly,

106
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, ouch, the melting, burning hot

107
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: marshmallow had burned her fingers. Oh no, Macy, are you okay?

108
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: Shouted Ada. Oh it hurts so much. Ouch inside a

109
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: marshmallow when it gets really hot, it's almost like lava.

110
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: And that's why you have to wait for it to

111
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: cool down a little bit before you grab it, because

112
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: if you accidentally squeeze it, all that super hot marshmallowy

113
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: goo will come out and it might burn your skin in.

114
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: That is exactly what Macy has done. Oh it hurts,

115
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: It hurts. Oh no, what do we do? Ada? We

116
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: need you to run out to the forest and find

117
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: some al o vera plants. That is gonna be able

118
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: to help Macy's finger get better. Okay, I'll go. Aida

119
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: took off running for the forest. She had to hurry.

120
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: This burn on Macy's finger it hurts very badly. Is

121
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 1: Aida gonna be able to find the al o vera plant,

122
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: which what in the world does an alivera plant. We'll

123
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: have to wait and see on the next episode of

124
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Kids Short Stories to find out the end. Great job,
