1 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kids 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes these stories like 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: ten times more awesome? You're sharing with a friend. That's 4 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: right now. I want you to think of two friends 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: that you can share this story with, and your parents 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: can maybe text them the link to this episode and 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: you guys can listen to it together and have awesome 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: memories and great imaginations. Well, friends, are you ready for 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: today's amazing adventure? Oh? I definitely am. Let's go. It 10 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: was a beautiful day, which meant that today was rocket 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: blast off day. Yes, you see, Quinn is a paleontologist. Well, 12 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: you might not think of a paleontologist as one to 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: get on a rocket ship and blast off to outer space, 14 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: because you know what a paleontologist does, Yeah, they look 15 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: at fossils and look for evidence of dinosaurs. But Quinn 16 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: was just recently given a very important special mission to 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: go to space and look for dinosaurs. I know, I 18 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: know what you're thinking, that dinosaurs don't exist in space, 19 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: but you know, you don't know until you know, and 20 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: the only way to know is to go explore, right, Yeah, 21 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: exploration is searching for something unknown, and so even though 22 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: we don't know that dinosaurs if they exist in space. 23 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: Maybe they do, and maybe they've just never been discovered before. 24 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: So that is why Quinn is walking right now into 25 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: a spaceship. And the only days that you can blast 26 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: off in a spaceship is beautiful days. So it's a 27 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: good thing that today was a bright, shiny day, not 28 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: a cloud in the sky. And as Quinn was about 29 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: to strap in her seatbelt three two one, the rocket 30 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: ship blasted off. It was headed straight to the Moon. 31 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: This was the first time that Quinn had ever gone 32 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: to outer space. Normally, you would find her with some shovels, 33 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: pickaxe in a brush with her sitting in a big 34 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: hole in the dirt, maybe in the desert, digging away 35 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: looking for dinosaur bones or fossils. But this time Quinn 36 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: had a full astronaut suit and was on her way 37 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: to the Moon. She did bring her tools, of course, 38 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: because she was going to look for fossils on the Moon. 39 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: It took a long time to reach the Moon, but 40 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: finally her spaceship gently touched down on the surface of 41 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the Moon. She couldn't wait to get out and start exploring, 42 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: looking for evidence of fossils or dinosaur bones or maybe 43 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: in a dinosaur tooth. That was the favorite thing. She 44 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: always loved finding a dinosaur tooth well. As she stepped 45 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: out from her spaceship with Oliver astronaut gear and her 46 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: paleontology tools, she took her first step on the moon. Wow, 47 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: this is so cool, said Quinn. She turned around in 48 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: a circle to get a full view of everything on 49 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: the Moon, and there it was Wow, I can see 50 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: planet Earth from here. It looks so small. Wow. She 51 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: was right. When you stand on the Moon and look 52 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: back towards the Earth, our whole planet looks way smaller. 53 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: But it's pretty amazing viewed of Earth. To stand on 54 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: the moon, she didn't have a lot of time to, 55 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, just enjoy the view. You know, if it 56 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: was me, I would want to just hold up a chair, 57 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: pop it open, maybe have a nice glass of lemonade 58 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: and sip my lemonade as I looked at all of 59 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: space and the stars and the planets at blended earthen 60 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: But there's no time for that. She needs to find 61 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: evidence of dinosaurs. Quinn opened up her bag of paleontology 62 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: tools or pick axe and her brushes, and she started 63 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: digging away into the side of a mountain. You see, 64 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: when you're digging for fossils or just looking around, you 65 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: don't know exactly where to look, so you just have 66 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: to start. You have to start digging somewhere and hopefully 67 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: find a clue that will lead you to something interesting. Well, 68 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: after several hours of digging, she wanted to take a 69 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a break. It was a very well 70 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: earned and well deserved break, might I add. She was 71 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: walking back to the spaceship to radio in back to 72 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: Bay East camp at Planet Earth to tell them an 73 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: update that she hadn't found any fossils yet. All right, 74 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: all the team's gonna be kind of bummed to know 75 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: that I haven't found any fossils yet, said Quinn, But 76 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: I have to at least give them an update. She 77 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: walked closer and closer to the spaceship. All of a 78 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: sudden she saw something. What was that? It was a 79 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: flash of light, something that looked like it was moving 80 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: kind of far away, but it was very fast. She 81 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: couldn't tell if it was, you know, maybe an asteroid 82 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: that crashed on the Moon and some rocks bounced around, 83 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: or maybe a shadow from the Sun. But either way, 84 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: it caught her attention, and she had to figure it out. 85 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: Quinn to Base. Quinn to Base, I have not found 86 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: any fossils yet a few hours into the dig, but 87 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: I did just observe some strange movements over the hill. 88 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: I need to go investigate. I'll update you when I 89 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: find out, Quinn. Over and out. Quinn put down the 90 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: walkie talkie at her spaceship and headed off towards whatever 91 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: that was that caught her eye, and she walked further 92 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: and further down this valley on the Moon. It was 93 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: very rocky. She had to climb over boulders and jump 94 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: over big holes. It's pretty cool being on the Moon. 95 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: You can jump a lot higher when you're there because 96 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: there's not as much gravity. But as Quinn got closer 97 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: and closer to what it was that she had seen, 98 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: she couldn't believe her eyes. What in the world these 99 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: totally looked like dinosaur tracks. She was right down in 100 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: the dust of the moon were footprints that looked like 101 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: dinosaur tracks. This got Quinn very excited because she loved 102 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: finding footprints. Remember the two things that she that were 103 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: her favorite things to find as a paleontologist. Yes, footprints 104 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: and teeth. Yeah, dinosaur teeth that were fossilized. Oh, that 105 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: was such a great find. Or a fossilized footprint where 106 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: it's it's like a footprint into a rock. Wow, that 107 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: is such a good find. But as she knelt down, 108 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: she realized that this was different. Wait a second, said Quinn. 109 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: This footprint is not fossilized. It's in the dust. It's 110 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: it's like a footprint, just like if I were to 111 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: step in the dust with my boot. Quinn was right. 112 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: As she looked back at her footprints, they were identical 113 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: to the type of footprints that she was looking at here. 114 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: You know, she wasn't a dinosaur, so they looked different, 115 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: but it was still the same way that you would 116 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: press your boot or a foot into the dust. Holy smokes, 117 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: Did I just discover the real dinosaur on the Moon? 118 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: That can't be possible. There's no way a dinosaur. Holy smokes. 119 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: What in the world has Quinn just discovered? Are there 120 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: real dinosaurs on the Moon living there today? I'm not 121 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: sure what's gonna happen, but we're gonna have to wait 122 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: and see what happens on the next episode of Kids 123 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Great job you listened all the way to 124 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: the end, and you know what seven is. It's time 125 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: for kid shout. Oh.
