1
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,200

Speaker 1: dot Com. Send me your idea and maybe you will

00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: turn it into an awesome adventure. And don't forget our

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: awesome animal podcast as well, called Kids Animals Stories, which

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: is a really fun place where we learn about animals

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: in a fun way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: Me too, Let's go.

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: One day, Shuo was in his room and he was

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: getting ready for an amazing camping adventure. Ooh, I love

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: camping adventures. If you were to go on a camping adventure,

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: I want you to start thinking about what you would

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: bring on your trip. Well, Shuo was getting everything ready.

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: He had his tent, sleeping bag, and water and some rope. Yeah,

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: he was going camping in a place where there were

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: bears in the area. And so whenever you're camping where

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: there might be bears in nearby, you have to put

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: all your food. When you're done with it, you have

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: to put your food in a bag and tie it up.

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: Really high in a tree. That's what the rope is for. Well,

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 1: Shua was preparing for this trip. He'd been looking forward

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: to it for a very long time, and it was

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: time to go.

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 2: All right.

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go exploring and see what is

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: out there. I wonder if maybe I'll find something no

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: one has ever seen before. Yes, Shua was going exploring

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: in a forest where not many had ever been. You see,

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: this forest was all around surrounded by the pokiest of thorns.

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: Who likes thorns?

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Oh me? Neither.

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: Thorns are the worst.

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's why not many had gone exploring

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: in this forest before, because of all the thorns. But

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: Shua had a plan. He was going to bring some

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: cutters to cut down those thorns so that he could

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: get through without well, with not many scratches. I'm sure

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: he's probably going to get scratched. Well, Shua began his

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: way towards the forest. He was just imagining all the

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: places that maybe no one has ever seen before. Maybe

43
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: there's a waterfall in there, or maybe there's a treasure

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: left from hundreds or thousands of years ago. If you

45
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: went to a forest that was very hard to get

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: to and probably no one had ever been in. What

47
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: would you be excited to find? I think I would

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: be excited to find just a quiet place where no

49
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: one's ever been, or maybe a waterfall or some cool

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: rock formations. I don't know, it would be so cool.

51
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: As Shua approached the forest, he saw the giant wall

52
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: of thorns. Wow, those are some poky thorns. As he

53
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: took out his clippers and started to carefully clip down

54
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: the thorny plants to make a trail for him to

55
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: get in, he realized how thick it was. It was

56
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: not just a place where he had to just jump

57
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: over some thorny bushes, but it was like a whole

58
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: trail of them. He had to make a tunnel. WHOA,

59
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: that would be pretty scary if you had to cut

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: your way into a thorny thicket and make a whole tunnel. WHOA,

61
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: completely surrounded by thorns. Wow, Shua is brave. As he

62
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: continued climbing and crawling through making his tunnel into this

63
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: thorny forest, he had no idea what was going to

64
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: be on the other side. It felt like it took forever,

65
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: but finally he reached the forest. As he stood up

66
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: and brushed off the dirt off his pants. How he

67
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: looked around and was amazed. Yes, this forest looked like

68
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: it had been here for thousands of years without anyone

69
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: ever disturbing it. This is going to be a cool adventure.

70
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: As Shua hiked in, he found a great a perfect

71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: spot to make his tin. He set up his campsite

72
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: and wanted to start exploring around. But remember all that

73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: food he had, which he brought some yummy food to

74
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: eat for dinner, but also some marshmallows, because who doesn't

75
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: like marshmallows when they're camping? Yeah, I think that's like

76
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: a necessity. A basic ingredient of camping is marshmallows. Well,

77
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: he put all that food and the marshmallows in a bag,

78
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: tied it up in a rope, and threw it over

79
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: a tall bran inch and tied it to the tree

80
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: so that it was dangling way high up. Do you

81
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: remember why we do that? Yes, the bears. We don't

82
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: want the bears to eat our food because bears are

83
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: very good sniffers and we don't want them to eat

84
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: our food. Well, Shua walked away to go explore. Maybe

85
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: we could find a waterfall or who knows, what this

86
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: is a land that could be full of new discoveries.

87
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: As he walked towards a creek and knelt down to

88
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: feel the water, it felt nice and cool as it

89
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: rushed through his fingers. Wow, this is a beautiful stream.

90
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: The water is so clear. Oh no, sounds like there's

91
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: a bear nearby. I gotta go get my bear horn.

92
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: One of the things that he brought in his supplies

93
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: was this can that when he pressed the button, it

94
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: made this very loud alarm.

95
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Sound like.

96
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: It's very loud and very annoying, and it scares bears away.

97
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: So he had to go find that can to make

98
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: sure that bear didn't get his food. As he was

99
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: looking for his can and searching all over, wait, oh

100
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: my goodness, there it is, he could see the bear sniffing.

101
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: He's coming for my food. Oh no, but what's that

102
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: around his neck? That bear had some kind of collar.

103
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: It was a bright purple. Yeah, it looks like a

104
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: purple collar. Oh no, she would realize what that was.

105
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: That was a bear that was on the purple Ninjas

106
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: and doctors think he brought his team he had heard

107
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: about animals that they had captured and made them do

108
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: stuff for them and.

109
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: Oh no, bear, I'm here and I'm not afraid. Go

110
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: away bear.

111
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: The bear turned and looked with a shocked, surprise face,

112
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: and then he.

113
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: Sounded the alarm on his can.

114
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: The bear held his paws up to his ears and

115
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: fell to the ground.

116
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: So sorry, please, I'm sorry.

117
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: Shea stopped and said, wait a second, you can talk.

118
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: Are you on the Purple Ninja's tea.

119
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. They make me do this. They make

120
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: me smell the things like marshmallows, and I smelled marshmallows

121
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: so I was coming to steal it and bring it

122
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: back to Doctor's Stinky Breath. And I'm so sorry to

123
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: scare you. I know, I know this is wrong, but

124
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: I they make me do it.

125
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: They make you.

126
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Do this, said Sua. Sua and the bear began to talk,

127
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: and it turned out that this bear was actually pretty nice,

128
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: but Doctor Sinkybreath and the Purple Ninjas had forced him

129
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: to be on their team, and they were making him

130
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: do bad things like steele marshmallows. All right, well, thank

131
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: you for telling me that, mister bear. Oh please call

132
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: me Barney. Barney. Okay, well, you don't have to do

133
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: bad things anymore. You could probably be on our spy team.

134
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: We need creatures like you that are smart and brave.

135
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: What are you talking about.

136
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: I've done bad things and I could never be on

137
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: the spy team. If you are willing to leave the

138
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: bad team and just stop doing all those bad things

139
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: and join our spy team, then I'm sure that we

140
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: would love to have you on board. The Bear was

141
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: so happy. He had not liked being on the Purple

142
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Ninja team. He knew it was wrong, but he was

143
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: so glad that Shua invited him to be on the

144
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: spy team. That is the beginning of a really good

145
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: friendship between them. They would soon become partners on the

146
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: spy team and go on to solve many mysteries together.

147
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: The end, great job. You listened all the way to

148
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: the end, and you know what time it is.

149
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: It's time for kid shout out.

150
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: I want to say hey to Joram from Maryland, Hadley,

151
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: Hudson and Everett from Massachusetts, Waverley from Nevada, Henry from

152
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Sully from Boise, Idaho, Elliott and Connor from Pennsylvania, and.

153
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: Hartnir from Toronto.

154
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you're all and the kid short

155
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Stories family, and on our spy team. We could not

156
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: stop doctor Stinky Breath without you, my friends.

157
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Well, right now you can head.

158
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,640
