1 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: Hey, friends, welcome back to Kids Short Stories. If this 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: is your first time hanging out with us, my name 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: is mister Jim and parents. I just love stories so much. 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: That's why we make stories every single day. It not 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: only helps reduce screen time, but I'm just for story 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: based learning. I think kids learn through story really well 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: and it translates to all kinds of you know, imagination, 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: growth and also just remembering facts and information. So are 9 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: you guys are ready for today's story? I definitely am. 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: Let's go, all right, Purple Ninja's can you hand me 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: that bag of marshmallows over there? I need it in 12 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: my cup of hot coco urry? All right, boss, Actually 13 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: that bag is empty, and I'm pretty sure we're all 14 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: out of marshmallows. I don't think we have any left. 15 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: But what are you talking about? 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: We must have a limited supply of marshmallows. If I'm 17 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: going to survive in this blimp, I need you to 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get us more marshmallows. And 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: ha ha heyb business ways. We could also take over 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: as the world through a marshmallow explosion. I can't think 21 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: of much stickier things. And that you should include Professor 22 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: sticky fingers in these plans. Now get to work. It 23 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: was a beautiful day and Dexter and Oliver were both 24 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: on a bike ride zooming around their city. Wooooo, let's 25 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: go over there, Oliver, Come on, shouted Dexter. They loved 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: to go bike riding and love to explore their city, 27 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: which was a really cool place. There are all kinds 28 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: of big hills and mountains and forests around, and there 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: was an old legend that one of those hills was 30 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: an ancient volcano that you know, hadn't erupted in a 31 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: very very long time, like hundreds and hundreds of years. 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: But it was still pretty cool that, you know, they 33 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: lived right by an old volcano. H That was a 34 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: good race, said Oliver as he was catching his breath. 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: But Dexter, how about what if we tried to get 36 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: all the way to the top of the old volcano. 37 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: That would be awesome, said Dexter. We haven't been up 38 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: there since we were little kids. All right. Well, let's 39 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: then run back home, grab some water, tell our parents, 40 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: and then we'll get going, said Oliver. Dexter and Oliver 41 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: rode back to their house to get some water and 42 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: some snacks. They asked their parents that they could ride 43 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: up that big, big hill, and their parents gave them 44 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: a walkie talkie to stay in touch. That reminded them 45 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: that they should probably bring their spy gear also. They 46 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: had forgotten to bring it with them during their bike ride, 47 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: but now that they're going up to a volcano, it 48 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: seems like they should bring their spy gear just in case. 49 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: All right, we have everything ready, let's go. Dexter and 50 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: Oliver zoomed off towards the volcano. Have you ever tried 51 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: to ride a bike up a really steep hill before? Yeah, 52 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 1: you have to push the pedals really hard and use 53 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: all your Strengthen, going up a volcano is going to 54 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: take a lot of muscle. Oliver, Why did I let 55 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: you convince me to do this? This is the longest 56 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: bike ride I've ever died. You're right, let's take a 57 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: break here, said Oliver. Dexter and Oliver definitely needed to 58 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: take a break. They had been riding up this hill 59 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: for about forty five minutes straight, which is a really 60 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: long time to be pedaling up a hill. It definitely 61 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: deserve a break. As they opened up their water bottles 62 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: and poured them into their mouths Dexter and Oliver. It 63 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: felt so good to finally sit down and take a break. 64 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: Oh that was insane, said Dexter. But look how high 65 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: we are, said Oliver. They both looked out over the 66 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: hill that they were now almost to the top of, 67 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: and they could see for miles, which was really cool. 68 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: Look there's our house down there, Oliver was pointing down 69 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: into the right and they could see their house tucked 70 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: in between some trees. How much further do you think 71 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: we have to go until we reach the top, asked Dexter. 72 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: H I don't think much further, Like, we're definitely passed halfway. 73 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I bet if we just pushed through, we'll be there 74 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: in no time, said Oliver. They packed up their water bottles, 75 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: hopped back on their bike, and off they rode. And 76 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: that is when they saw something in the sky. Oliver 77 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: look at that, Dexter was pointing up towards some clouds. 78 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: Pretty sure that was a blimp and it looked purple duck. 79 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: Get down. The two kids jumped down and hid behind 80 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: some bushes, and they pulled their bikes close so they 81 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't be seen. It. Sure enough was the purple blimp. 82 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: Doctor Stinkybreath's secret lab was flying right over them, towards 83 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: the top of this volcano. Oliver reached for his walkie 84 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: talkie in the bag because he had to let HQ 85 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: know as fast as possible. Meanwhile, up in that purple blimp, 86 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: Doctor Stinkybreath, Professor Sticky Fingers, and the Purple Edges were 87 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: all up to no good, Oh boy, this is gonna 88 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: be the best ever. This will make the whole cities 89 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: very very sticky, said Professor Sticky Fingers. 90 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: Oh I love it. 91 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: And it's you'll give us unlimited supply of marshmallows, which 92 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: is what I've been always vaunting. So all right, Purple Ninjas, prepare. 93 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 2: The egg right away, boss on on it. 94 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: The Purple Ninjas were holding a giant white egg, the 95 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: biggest egg that I've ever seen, like one as big 96 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: as me, and they were about to drop it into 97 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: the top of the volcano. Dexter and Oliver had just 98 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: finished telling HQ that they had seen the purple blimp 99 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: in the sky above. Dude, we got to get up 100 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: to the top. We gotta get back on our bikes. 101 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: Come on. Dexter was the first to hop on his 102 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: bike and Oliver was close behind. They were racing up 103 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: to the top of the volcano as fast as they 104 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: could because they knew that that purple blimp up there 105 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: was probably up to no good, and boy were they right. 106 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: As soon as they reached the top of the volcano, 107 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: they hid behind some bushes and trees just to make 108 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: sure that they were not seen, and it was just 109 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: in time. They saw something fall out of the purple blimp, 110 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: a big white thing. It was round and long. It 111 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: almost looked like an egg, but it was way too 112 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: big to be that. And as soon as that big 113 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: white thing fell out of the purple blimp, the purple 114 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: blimp zoomed off to the clouds. Dexter, let's go check 115 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: that out, said Oliver. They ran over to the edge 116 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: and looked inside of the old volcano. You see, when 117 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: volcanoes are old and don't really work anymore. They the 118 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: top of them. There's still like the indentation of the volcano, 119 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: but it's like all rocky and dirt and sand. It's 120 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: all covered up. There's not just like lava sitting there. 121 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: And so as Dexter and Oliver peered over and looked inside, 122 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: they saw that big white thing and it was now 123 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: like wedged inside of a crack where there was a 124 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: little bit of steam pouring out from that crack. And 125 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the ground began to shake. 126 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: Oliver, do you feel it? 127 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: Of course I do. 128 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: We gotta get low. 129 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: I don't know where to go. But what do I do? 130 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: Dexter and Oliver didn't know what to do because they 131 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: were now on top of a giant old volcano that 132 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: is now starting to rumble, which that's not normal. Is 133 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: it going to explode? Dexter and Oliver jumped back towards 134 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: their bikes, but it was rumbling too much for them 135 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: to ride anywhere. Meanwhile, up at the Stinky Blimp lab, 136 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: doctor Stinky Breath was very happy. 137 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: All right, Purple Ninjas, lean back, let's enjoy the show. 138 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: The pressure inside of the volcano will explode that marshmallow 139 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 2: egg everywhere? Oh no, Dexter. 140 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: And Oliver are in quite the mess. Is that volcano 141 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: really going to explode? And what is doctor Stinky Breath 142 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: talking about some kind of marshmallow egg? Well we'll have 143 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: to wait and see what happens on the next episode 144 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: of Kids Short Stories. 145 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: Hey friends, I need your help. 146 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Celebrating some birthdays.
