1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story is our part two of our

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: Pillars of the Spy Team adventures. Do you remember last

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: time when Macy burned her finger with a really hot marshmallow. Well, Aida,

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: she needs to go find some kind of plant to

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: save the day. I don't know. I hope Aida is

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: able to make it in time. Are you ready for

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: part two? Me too, Let's go as Aida was running

9
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: through the forest as fast as she could. She was

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: a little worried about her sister Macy. Oh no, I

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: hope she's gonna be okay. That looks like it hurt

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: a lot. I gotta find this Alivia plant fast. Yes,

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: an Alivera plant. That is a really cool plant that's

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: been around for a very very long time. You see

15
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: al o Vera. It's a it's a spiky green plant.

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: It has long leaves that come out from its base,

17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: and it looks kind of spiky. It looks a little scary,

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: but it's very thick and juicy inside, and inside is

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: a very magical thing, some kind of gel that helps

20
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: when you have like a burn on your skin or

21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: some other things. But Aida, she needed to find this

22
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: fast in order to help Macy. Like I said earlier,

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: their forest was full of all kinds of amazing plants.

24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: Plants that were good for eating, plants that were good

25
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: for like medicine and helping your body. And ali vera plants.

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Those are one of those really important plants that can

27
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: help save your skin. Ada was searching all over the

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: forest and she ran everywhere, but there's none around. All

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, she saw a squirrel in her backyard.

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: And just so you know, Aida, she knew how to

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: talk to squirrels, and so she asked, Mr squirrel, I

32
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: really need help. My sister got hurt and she needs

33
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: some ala vera from that plant. Have you seen one around?

34
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Or left half? Just termint? The squirrel took off, running

35
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: as fast as it could, and Aida could barely keep up.

36
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I wonder how squirrels get all of their energy. They

37
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: always seem like they have unlimited energy. Maybe they're drinking.

38
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: Do you think squirrels drink a lot of coffee? Probably not, well,

39
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: maybe this squirrel does. Ada was running as fast as

40
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: she could try and to keep up the squirrel as

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: he jumped from tree to tree to tree, all the

42
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: way to a part of the forest that Aida had

43
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: never been to. As they turned a corner around some bushes,

44
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: it all opened up. Wow, this is amazing. Ada looked

45
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: around and there were all kinds of plants that she'd

46
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: never seen before. It looked like this was some kind

47
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: of secret garden. Yes, this is actually mathurbal but I

48
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: will stare with you. Oh great, okay um? Which one

49
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: is the alvair plant? That service circle? And the squirrel

50
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: jumped down and and ran and there it was. There

51
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: was a ginormous allo plant. It was almost as tall

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: as Aida. Wow, this is perfect. Ada reached over and

53
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: grabbed one of the leaves and snapped part of it off.

54
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 1: It's gooey inside started to leak out a little bit

55
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: onto her fingers. It felt kind of like jello and

56
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: kind of like slime. But Aida needed to hurry back fast.

57
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: All right, Mr squirrel, thanks so much for help, but

58
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: could you actually show me more of this later? Are

59
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: absolutely will just come back Whenever. Aida took off running

60
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: back to her house, she had to make it back

61
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: in time to help Macy. As she was running through

62
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: the forest, she could see her house up ahead. She

63
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: was getting closer, Macie, I have it, it's coming. Just

64
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: hang on, okay, it hurts. Macy was still holding her

65
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: hand waiting for that alivera. Aida raised over and immediately

66
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: got to work. She opened up the ali vera leaf.

67
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: You can kind of peel it open, or you can

68
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: squeeze out the goo out the side, and they carefully

69
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: helped Macy's burn feel a lot better. Wow, great job, ada,

70
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: said her parents. That was really fast. We're proud of you. Macy.

71
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: Are you feeling any better? Said Aida? Yeah, this does

72
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: help it feel a lot better. But holy smokes, I

73
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: just should have waited until it cooled off, said Macy. Yeah.

74
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: I know. I'm excited too, but it's really important that

75
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: we use self control and that we we wait until

76
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: it's the right time. I know, I just wanted it

77
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: so bad. I didn't know that it would actually burn

78
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: my skin, said Macy. You see, that is why a

79
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: spies we have to learn self control. Self control is

80
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: so important as a spy because we're always making all

81
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: kinds of decisions of do we go this way or

82
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: that way, or do we follow the spy rules or

83
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: do we not. All of our great spies have learned

84
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: really valuable lessons of why they need to always use

85
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: self control. Can you think of a time when maybe

86
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: you should have used self control role or when you

87
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: did use self control, Like how about you really got

88
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: upset and you're really mad, and you wanted to scream

89
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: as a lot as you could, but you he took

90
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: a deep breath and instead of screaming at someone, Ah,

91
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: you chose to have control over your your body and

92
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: your emotions. Or maybe doctor Stinky Breath was trying to

93
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: trick you into eating a lot of candy and you

94
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: chose to not do that. That that is using self control.

95
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Those are all really important as spy team members, and

96
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: I think Macy has learned that lesson. Unfortunately it meant

97
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: her finger getting a little hurt, but thankfully Ada, her sister,

98
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: was able to find that magical ala vero plant. Wow,

99
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: I wish I had a forest like there's in my

100
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: backyard that was full of all kinds of really cool plants.

101
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: And I definitely learned my lesson. I'm gonna definitely use

102
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: self control the next time I'm mused I'm making some wars,

103
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: how about you? Yeah, alright, spies, Well, those are some

104
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: of the pillars of being on the spy team. I

105
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: hope you've learned them all because I need you on

106
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: the spy team to stop Dr Stinky Breath, the Purple
