00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids'

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story we are gonna continue in talking

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: about our three pillars of being on the spy team. Well,

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: today's story comes to us from Ada and Macy. They

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: are gonna teach us how important self control is. Self

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: control is one of our pillars of being a spy.

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: So listen close. Are you ready for today's adventure? Meet too?

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: Let go. Ada and Macy lived in a very special place.

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: They live next to this almost magical looking forest. It

10
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: was full of all the most amazing plants, all kinds

11
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: of plants for different reasons, like plants you could eat.

12
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Like what when you think of a plant that you

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: could eat, what comes to mind? Apple trees maybe, yep,

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: there's apple trees in the forest. And anything else, maybe

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: some strawberries or blueberries or oh yeah, there's so many

16
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: delicious plants and all of them were in this forest.

17
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: And there was also plants for medicine. Did you know

18
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: that plants have been medicine for a very very long time. Yeah,

19
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: there's some kinds of plants that you might eat to

20
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: help your tummy feel better, or to help you sleep better,

21
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: or there's all kinds of different things that live in

22
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: this forest in Ada and Macy's backyard. Well, today they

23
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: were going on a scavenger hunt. They had a whole

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: list of plants that they needed to find, and they

25
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: were almost all done. Macy, I just need some peppermint leaves.

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: Do you see any over there? Don't? Aida? Nothing over here?

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: I knew that there were some where did they go? Said? Ada? Hmmm?

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Oh wait, look over here behind the bush. Macy peeled

29
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: it back and there it was a delicious looking peppermint plant.

30
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: Have you ever smelled peppermint before? Oh? It smells so good.

31
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: And did you know that there's real peppermint leaves. Yeah,

32
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: that's where the smell of peppermint comes from. And if

33
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: you break the leaf in half and you smell it, oh,

34
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: it smells just like toothpaste or gum or a peppermint

35
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: hot chocolate, and oh boy, I love peppermints. Well, Aida

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: and Macy had finished their list of all the things

37
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: that they needed to find. Tonight they were having a

38
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: very special backyard campfire with their family. Ada and Macy

39
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: had been looking forward to this for a very long time,

40
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: and the peppermint leaves were going to be a very

41
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: special secret ingredient to their s'mores. Have you ever had

42
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: a smore before? Oh? I love s'mores. The graham crackers,

43
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: the marshmallows, and the chocolate. Oh, I just I would

44
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: eat a hundred of them, probably you two, well, Aida

45
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: and Macy, they should need a hundred. But they were

46
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: looking forward to tonight. So they had gathered all the

47
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: sticks and everything that they needed for the campfire. But

48
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: it was time for dinner first. And do you know

49
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: what they were going to cook over their campfire? Hot

50
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: dogs on sticks. Have you ever done that before? Oh?

51
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: It's super fun. They put the hot dogs on the

52
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: sticks and roasted it right over the fire. I love

53
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: the smell of the campfire, said Aida. Aida and Macy

54
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: were sitting next to each other on a very big

55
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: log that was to the fire. Their parents were on

56
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the other side, and everyone was having a very nice night. Ah. So,

57
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: anyone have a story, said one of their parents. Oh

58
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: I have a story, said Macy. Everybody leaned in because

59
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: Macy was a very good storyteller. One day, me and

60
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: Ada we went to the beach and all of a sudden,

61
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: there was a magical chocolate fountain in the center of

62
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: the beach, and then when we started eating it, we

63
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: turned into ants when the giants squid tried to caring.

64
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: I think she's remembering the story from kit Short Stories

65
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: about the ants that are the people that turned into

66
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: the ants because of the giant squid. That is a

67
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: silly story. Well, Macey finished the story and everyone was laughing.

68
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: After they finished their hot dogs, it was time for some'mar,

69
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: shouted Ada. Ada and Macon erased back inside to get

70
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: all the ingredients that they had prepared, and especially the

71
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: peppermint leaves. Ooh, that would be a really special magical

72
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: touch to a s'more. What do you think would be

73
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 1: a fun addition to somemore? Because normally it's it's graham

74
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: crackers and marshmallows and chocolate. But what if you put

75
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: peanut butter inside of it? Or what if you put

76
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: natilla or oh, my goodness, there's so many different things

77
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: that you could put in a somore to make it

78
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: taste delicious, and Ada really wanted to taste it with

79
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: a peppermint leaf. As they came back to the fire,

80
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: Macy was the first one to grab a stick and

81
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: she put the marshmallow on the stick, and their parents

82
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: reminded them, all right, guys, remember these things get really hot,

83
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: and so I know, as much as you want to

84
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: eat them as fast as you can, after you're cooking

85
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: the marshmallow, you have to give it a minute to

86
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: cool down, or else it might burn your finger. Okay,

87
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Macy put on two marshmallows onto her stick, and so

88
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: did Data. Oh this is gonna be so good, said Macy.

89
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: This is the moment where everything is about to change.

90
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Remember at the beginning, we talked about self control being

91
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: a pillar of being on the spy team. Do you

92
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: know what self control means? Self control means that you

93
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: are in control of your body, and sometimes it means

94
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: that you need to follow the rules because the rules

95
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: are in place because they don't want you to get hurt.

96
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: And this is a great example of a rule that

97
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: you need to follow. Do you know what happens if

98
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: you touch a scalding hot marshmallow? Yes, it could burn

99
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: the skin on your hand. And that's what aiden Macy's parents.

100
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: They don't want that to happen. But unfortunately Macy wanted

101
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: that marshmallow a little too much. Oh boy, Oh no,

102
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 1: it's burning. I gotta blow it out. Macy carefully blew

103
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: out the marshmallow, but she was a little too excited

104
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: to get it on her grim crackers to eat. Macy

105
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: grabbed the marshmallow off way too quickly, and all of

106
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: a sudden, ouch, the melting, burning hot marshmallow had burned

107
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: her fingers. Oh no, Macy, are you okay? Shouted Ada.

108
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: Oh it hurts so much. Ouch inside a marshmallow when

109
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: it gets really hot, it's almost like lava. And that's

110
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: why you have to wait for it to cool down

111
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: a little bit before you grab it, because if you

112
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: accidentally squeeze it, all that super hot marshmallowy goo will

113
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: come out and it might burn your skin. And that

114
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: is exactly what Macy has done. Oh we hurts, it hurts.

115
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, what do we do? Ada? We need you

116
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: to run out to the forest and find some alovera

117
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: plants that is gonna be able to help Macy's finger

118
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: get better. Okay, I'll go, Ada took off running for

119
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: the forest. She had to hurry. This burn on Macy's

120
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: finger it hurts very badly. Is Ada gonna be able

121
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: to find the ali vera plant? Which what in the

122
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: world is an alivera plant. We'll have to wait and

123
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: see on the next episode of Kids Short Stories to

124
