Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from THEO. Hey THEO,

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: he sent me an awesome idea for a story, and

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: you can't do Just head over to kids short stories

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: dot com. Send me your idea and maybe you'll turn

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: an incredible Minecraft adventure where the server crasses and he

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: has to save the dirty me too? Let's go. THEO

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: had just gotten home from school. It was time to

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: do his chores and his homework, and then once he

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: had all of those things done, then he got to

12
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: play a little bit of Minecraft. Do you know what

13
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Minecraft is? It's a really fun game where you can

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: build a world or build houses and caves and tree houses,

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: and it's very fun and THEO loved it so much.

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: But he had to make sure that all of his

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: schoolwork and his chores were done before he could play.

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: All right, just a few more things than I've almost done,

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: said THEO. He was working on his math homework. Math

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: is really fun and THEO was really good at it.

21
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: All right, two plus five is seven ten minus four?

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: What's ten minus four? Oh six? And then what's six

23
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: plus eight? Well that's hard six plus eight? Uh yeah, fourteen, Yes,

24
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm all done. THEO, before his homework, had already taken

25
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: out the garbage and cleaned up his room and made

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 1: his bed. And now that his homework has done ment,

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: he got to play thirty minutes of Minecraft. Whoa. He

28
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: raced over and abbed his controller and turned it on

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: and nothing happened. What it's not working today? Oh, come on,

30
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: I guess I gotta reboot it. I hope I don't

31
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: lose my world. He had been building a world for

32
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: a very long time. It was amazing, all the different

33
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: houses and buildings and caves, and he pretty much built

34
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: the whole city. It's amazing. Well, he had to reboot

35
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: a system and hopefully that would help it work. As

36
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: he flipped it off, he unplugged it and plugged it

37
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: back in and then turned it on and oh, something

38
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: crazy happened when he rebooted the system. There was some

39
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: kind of little bit of spark and it sent him

40
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: inside of the game. He's now inside of Minecraft. Done

41
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: done done? What? As THEO was sailing through the air,

42
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: he was flying through the clouds, and then all of

43
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, he crashed into the dirt. Oh ow where

44
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: in the what the wait a second, he knew exactly

45
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: where he was. As he looked around, he brushed off

46
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: the dirt and is this Minecraft? How he smokes? This

47
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: is amazing? THEO? Is that you? Oh my, who's there?

48
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: My name is Edgar and I am one of the

49
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: rangers here and you must come with me. A ranger.

50
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I've never heard of those, said THEO. Yes, we only

51
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: come out in emergencies. Our job is to guard the servers.

52
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Something terrible has happened that might end Minecraft forever. You

53
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: must hurry. THEO followed Edgar as they ran through Minecraft.

54
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: This is my world, as THEO was looking around as

55
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: they were running, he built all of this. It looks

56
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: even better in person, said THEO. Look there's there's my castle,

57
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: and oh there's the mansion, and there's the store and

58
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 1: oh wow, this is so cool. THEO couldn't believe it.

59
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: He had spent a really long time building this amazing city,

60
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: and to see it in person, that's pretty amazing. Edgar, so, like,

61
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: what's going on with the server? Like, what are you

62
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: talking about? It's gonna crash? Will you see? Somehow the

63
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: zombies have broken through and they are trying to attack

64
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: the server. We must stop them or else the game

65
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: will be done forever. What how is that even possible?

66
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: I didn't think zombies could do that. Oh there's a

67
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: special new breed of zombies. And I know it all

68
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: sounds confusing, but it will make sense once we get there.

69
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Edgar arrived at a cave and opened this locked door

70
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: that THEO had never seen before. As they walked in

71
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: the cave, there it was a giant room full of servers.

72
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: These servers were like big computers, and they were the

73
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: brains behind all of Minecraft. The room was full of

74
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: rangers who were looking for special instructions. Attention, everyone, I

75
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: have found THEO and he is here to rescue all

76
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: of Minecraft. We were, well, what are you talking about?

77
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm just a kid. What what do you mean? I

78
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: can't I don't know what to do, said THEO. Don't worry, THEO.

79
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: You built this world and you know all of its secrets.

80
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: We are waiting for your blad. THEO started to realize

81
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: that he was serious. These rangers were looking up to

82
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: THEO to save the day. How was he going to

83
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: do it? How was he going to stop these weird

84
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: zombies from breaking in and crashing the server. But the

85
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: one really amazing thing about THEO is he's incredibly creative

86
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: and amazing at solving problems. In Minecraft, when you're building things,

87
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: you have to think about a plan. You have to

88
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: to know what you're going to do before you do it,

89
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: not something that THEO had a lot of practice in.

90
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: All right, well, we could set some traps, like I

91
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: always love setting up the traps to catch the zombies

92
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: and and and then they're not able to get into

93
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: my my bases and stuff, said THEO. That is a

94
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: great idea. But how which should we set the traps

95
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: around the servers? THEO grabbed some paper and some pens

96
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: and started to draw out all the strategy he needed

97
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: to make traps and secret entrances and doors that locked

98
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: and everything that would stop them from breaking in. All right, guys,

99
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: this is the plan, this is how we're going to

100
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: do it, and I need your help, said THEO. He

101
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: gave instructions to all of the rangers, and immediately the

102
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: rangers got to work. Wouldn't that be so cool if

103
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: you went inside a game like Minecraft in had to

104
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: save the day for real? Wow? THEO is so lucky.

105
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I wonder what's gonna happen pretty soon. The rangers has

106
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: had executed all of Theo's plan. They had traps set

107
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: and and moats and secret entrances with doors and it

108
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: was amazing. And now they had to lure all the

109
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: zombies and creatures into the traps. This is something that

110
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: THEO was really good at. La la la la la, la,

111
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: la la la la la. That was the sound of

112
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: the zombies and creatures. They're getting closer. I hope the

113
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: trap works. THEO was a little nervous inside of his mind,

114
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: but he had to choose to be brave for all

115
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: of the Rangers because they were recounting on him, and

116
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,119
Speaker 1: one by one, bloop bloop bloom, each of the zombies

117
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: and creatures and walkers they all dropped into the traps. Yes, look,

118
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: the traps were filling up with all the bad guys

119
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: and THEO had saved the day. All the Rangers were

120
00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: shouting THEO, THEO, whoa mine, crap has been saved in

121
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: all of its servers And just like that, as THEO blinked, blink,

122
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: wait a second, I'm back in my house. Was that

123
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: for real? As THEO opened his eyes and wait, the

124
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: game was playing, and all of his traps that he

125
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: had built, he was looking at them at the screen.

126
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: THEO had not only built some amazing new pieces to

127
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: his world and Minecraft, but he had also saved the

128
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: game forever. Great job, Theo. You saved the day and

129
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: I know this is just the beginning of his amazing

130
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: adventure the end. Great job you listen all the way

131
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: to the end, and you know what time it is.

132
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,280
