Speaker 1: which is a really fun place where we learn about

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: animals in a fun way. Are you guys ready for

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. One day, Shuo was

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: in his room and he was getting ready for an

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: amazing camping adventure. Ooh, I love camping adventures. If you

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: were to go on a camping adventure, I want you

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: to start thinking about what you would bring on your trip. Well,

15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Shuo was getting everything ready. He had his tent, sleeping bag,

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: food and water, and some rope. Yeah, he was going

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: camping in a place where there were bears in the area.

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: And so whenever you're camping where there might be bears

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: in nearby, you have to put all your food. When

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: you're done with it, you have to put your food

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: in a bag and tie it up really high in

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: a tree. That's what the rope is for. Well, Shua

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: was preparing for this trip. He'd been looking forward to

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: it for a very long time, and it was time

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: to go. Oh right, I can't wait to go exploring

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: and see what is out there. I wonder if maybe

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: I'll find something no one has ever seen before. Yes,

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: Shua was going exploring in a forest where not many

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: had ever been. You see, this forest was all around

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: surrounded by the pokiest of thorns. Who likes thorns? Oh me?

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Neither thorns are the worst. And I think that's why

32
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: not many had gone exploring in this forest before, because

33
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: of all the thorns. But Shua had a plan. He

34
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: was going to bring some cutters to cut down those

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: thorns so that he could get through without well, with

36
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: not many scratches. I'm sure he's probably going to get scratched. Well,

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: Shua began his way towards the forest. He was just

38
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: imagining all the places that maybe no one has ever

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: seen before. Maybe there's a waterfall in there, or maybe

40
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: there's a treasure left from hundreds or thousands of years ago.

41
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: If you went to a forest that was very hard

42
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: to get to, and probably no one had ever been in.

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: What would you be excited to find? I think I

44
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: would be excited to find just a quiet place where

45
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: no one's ever been, or maybe a waterfall or some

46
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: cool rock formations. I don't know, it would be so cool.

47
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: As Shua approached the forest, he saw the giant wall

48
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: of thorns. Wow, those are some poky thorns. As he

49
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: took out his clippers and started to carefully clip down

50
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: the thorny plants to make a trail for him to

51
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: get in, he realized how thick it was. It was

52
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: not just a place where he had to just jump

53
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: over some thorny bushes, but it was like a whole

54
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: trail of them. He had to make a tunnel. WHOA,

55
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: that would be pretty scary if you had to cut

56
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: your way into a thorny thicket and make a whole tunnel. WHOA,

57
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: completely surrounded by thorns. Wow, Shua is brave. As he

58
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: continued climbing and crawling through making his tunnel into this

59
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: thorny forest, he had no idea what was going to

60
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: be on the other side. It felt like it forever,

61
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: but finally he reached the forest. As he stood up

62
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: and brushed off the dirt off his pants. How he

63
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: looked around and was amazed. Yes, this forest looked like

64
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: it had been here for thousands of years without anyone

65
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: ever disturbing it. This is going to be a cool adventure.

66
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: As Shua hiked in, he found a great a perfect

67
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: spot to make his tin. He set up his campsite

68
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: and wanted to start exploring around. But remember all that

69
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: food he had, which he brought some yummy food to

70
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: eat for dinner, but also some marshmallows, because who doesn't

71
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: like marshmallows when they're camping? Yeah, I think that's like

72
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: a necessity. A basic ingredient of camping is marshmallows. Well,

73
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: he put all that food and the marshmallows in a bag,

74
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: tied it up in a rope, and threw it over

75
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: a tall brand inch and tied it to the tree

76
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: so that it was dangling way high up. Do you

77
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: remember why we do that? Yes, the bears. We don't

78
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: want the bears to eat our food because bears are

79
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: very good sniffers and we don't want them to eat

80
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: our food. Well, Shua walked away to go explore. Maybe

81
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: we could find a waterfall or who knows what this

82
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: is a land that could be full of new discoveries.

83
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: As he walked towards the creek and knelt down to

84
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: feel the water, it felt nice and cool as it

85
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: rushed through his fingers. Wow, this is a beautiful stream.

86
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: The water is so clear. Oh no, sounds like there's

87
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 1: a bear nearby. I gotta go get my bear horn.

88
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: One of the things that he brought in his supplies

89
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: was this can that when he pressed the button, it

90
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: made this very loud alarm sound like it's very loud

91
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: and very annoying, and it scares bears away. So he

92
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: had to go find that can to make sure that

93
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: bear didn't get his food. As he was looking for

94
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: his can and searching all over, wait, oh my goodness,

95
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: there it is, he could see the bear sniffing. He's

96
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: coming for my food. Oh no, but what's that around

97
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: his neck? That bear had some kind of collar. It

98
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: was a bright purple. Yeah, it looks like a purple color.

99
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, sh Woa realized what that was. That was

100
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: a bear that was on the purple Ninjas and doctors

101
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: think he brought his team he had heard about animals

102
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: that they had captured and made them do stuff for

103
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: them and oh no, bear, I'm here and I'm not afraid.

104
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: Go away bear. The bear turned and looked with a shocked,

105
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 1: surprise face, and then he sounded the alarm on his can.

106
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: The bear held his paws up to his ears and

107
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: fell to the ground. So sorry, please, I'm sorry. She

108
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: was stopped and said, wait a second, you can talk.

109
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Are you on the Purple Ninja's team. I'm so sorry

110
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: they make me do this? Do they make me smell

111
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: the things like marshmallows? And I smelled marshmallows so I

112
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: was coming to steal it and bring it back to

113
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: Doctor's Stinky Breath. And I'm so sorry to scare you.

114
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: I know, I know this is wrong, but they make

115
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: me do it. They make you do this, said Sua.

116
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: Sua and the bear began to talk, and it turned

117
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: out that this bear was actually pretty nice, but Doctor

118
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: Stinkybreath and the Purple Ninjas had forced him to be

119
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: on their team, and they were making him do bad

120
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: things like steel marshmallows. All right, well, thank you for

121
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: telling me that, mister bear. Oh please call me Barney. Barney, Okay, well,

122
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to do bad things anymore. You could

123
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: probably be on our spy team. We need creatures like

124
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: you that are smart and brave. What are you talking about.

125
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: I've done bad things and I could never be on

126
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: the spy team. If you are willing to leave the

127
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: bad team and just stop doing all those bad things

128
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: and join our spy team, then I'm sure that we

129
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: would love to have you on board. The Bear was

130
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: so happy. He had not liked being on the Purple

131
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: Ninja team. He knew it was wrong, but he was

132
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: so glad that Shua invited him to be on the

133
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: spy team. That is the beginning of a really good

134
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: friendship between them. They would soon become partners on the

135
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: spy team and go on to solve many mysteries together.

136
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: The end, great job. You listened all the way to

137
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: the end, and you know what time it is. It's

138
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: time for kid shout out. I want to say hey,

139
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: it to Joram from Maryland, Hadley, Hudson and Everett from Massachusetts,

141
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: Elliott and Connor from Pennsylvania, and Hartnir from Toronto. I'm

142
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: so glad that you're all in the kits. Short Stories family,

143
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: and on our spy team. We could not stop doctor

144
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: Stinky Breath without you, my friends. Well, right now you

145
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: can head on over to our Kids Animals Stories podcas

146
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: cast because there's a new episode waiting for you. I'll

00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: see you there. Bye,
