1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Hey Friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kids

Speaker 1: Down in the show notes below there's a link for

Speaker 1: activities for kids and that's where we take our kids

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: for you to do every single day at homer at school. Well, friends,

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: are you ready for today's story from Sadie? She sent

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: me this awesome idea. Let's go. It was rainy and

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: stormy night as Sadie was high up in a lighthouse

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: looking out with binoculars checking the ocean. Wait a second,

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: what's going on? You see, Sadie, she was stationed on

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: a match a cool dragon island in the middle of

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: the ocean. She had just received an urgent message from

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: h q saying that a purple Ninja was on its

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: way to try and steal its magical powers. Have you

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: heard of this Magical Dragon Island? Oh, it's a beautiful,

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: beautiful place, and sometimes it does rain and storm there,

20
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: but usually it is a sunny, perfect day there. But

21
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: what makes it magical? I'm glad you asked. You See,

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: in the very center of this island is a beautiful,

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: beautiful waterfall, but this waterfall is very different than the

24
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: ones that maybe you and I have seen before. You

25
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: see most waterfalls, in fact all waterfalls. Their water falls

26
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: down right. Yes, there might be a river or a

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: lake up above, and that water runs right over the

28
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: edge and falls all the way to the bottom. Well,

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: you see, on this Magical Dragon Island, something is strange

30
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: about this waterfall, because the waterfall does not fall down,

31
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: it falls up. What? How is it possible? Well, it's

32
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: a secret that I don't even know the answer to. Maybe,

33
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: just maybe, you can use your imagination to solve that secret,

34
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: but I haven't figured it out yet. And you see,

35
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: the dragons from all over the world. They fly to

36
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: this very island because not only is it magical to

37
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: watch a waterfall that falls up, but that water is

38
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: actually magic as well. Dragons come from miles and miles

39
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: away just to drink this magic water. I believe it

40
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: gives them their ability to fly, but I'm not exactly

41
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: sure at all I know is that Sadie's job was

42
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: to guard this island, guarded from people that wanted to

43
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: steal this magic for themselves. You See, this kind of

44
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: magic is reserved only for dragons, and so as sadie

45
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: bravely stood a top of this lighthouse with her binoculars

46
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: pressed up against her eyes, she was on the lookout

47
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: for a Purple Ninja looking to steal that magic. All right. Oh,

48
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: this storm is bad, said Sadie. She was right. The

49
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: wind and rain and crashing thunder booms echoed throughout the lighthouse. Boom, crash.

50
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: With every minute that passed she was getting closer to, hopefully,

51
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: the end of the storm. You see, Sadie was a

52
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: very smart spy who already had a plane and of

53
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: how to trick the Purple Ninjas. This was not her

54
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: first time having to defend this island from somebody wanting

55
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: to steal something, and so she had built a second island. Yes,

56
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ocean where she was, there

57
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: was this magical island, and not that far away from

58
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: it she had piled a whole bunch of rocks into

59
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: something that looked like the real island, but in fact

60
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: it was not. The real magical island was very easy

61
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: to identify because it had a very tall lighthouse. Do

62
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: you know what a lighthouse is? Yes, it's it's like

63
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: a very tall, skinny building and at the very top

64
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: is a light that spins around and it's its job

65
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: is to protect the shores from boats that might be

66
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: passing by at night. And if you're driving a boat

67
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: on the water at night, it's really hard to see

68
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: without a light, and so those lighthouses, they helped boats

69
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: stay away from the shores without crashing into the rocks.

70
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: But that lighthouse is what identifies this very secret island.

71
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: It's how the dragons know where to go. So if

72
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjas knew where to look for wouldn't you

73
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: think that it would be easy for them to find

74
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: it if there's a bright light at the top? And

75
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: wait a second, look at that. Sadie has turned off

76
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: the light in the lighthouse that she is standing in

77
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: and the island over there that she built to trick

78
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjas, she put another light over there. Perfect.

79
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: The Purple Ninjas will think that they found this magical island,

80
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 1: but in fact it's only a pile of rocks. Hey, look,

81
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: there's the island. She could hear the Purple Ninjas in

82
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: the distance. The rain had stopped and the Purple Ninjas

83
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: were flying towards what they thought it was the magical island.

84
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: So what exactly are we looking for? A good what

85
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: did the boss want us to take? Well, I heard

86
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: about there some kind of magical waterfall here, so just

87
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: look for some water or a waterfall or something, and

88
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: then we'll just steal the water. Okay. Looking, the Purple

89
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Ninjas started to walk around this fake island. They were

90
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: very disappointed to not find anything. Nothing, any water. Are

91
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: you sure this is the plate? Of course, I'm shure

92
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: it's the place. Look, it has the light here and

93
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: there's no other islands anywhere around here that have this

94
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: bright light. Uh, we must have gotten some bad information.

95
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: There's no magic here. Let's add back to the blimp,

96
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: said the Purple Ninja. Wow. Sadie watched quietly from her

97
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: dark lighthouse as the Purple Ninja's left. They flew away.

98
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Her plan had worked. As she waited for those Purple

99
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Ninjas to leave and fly away, she saw some dragons

100
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: in the distance and she knew that she had to

101
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: turn her lighthouse back on to direct the dragons to

102
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: the right island. She turned the light on, she hopped

103
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: in a canoe and rode the boat over to the

104
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: other island to turn off the fake island's light. Who

105
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: just in time, said Sadie, as a whole flock of

106
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: dragons came flying to get some more magic. Wow, sadie,

107
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: great jobs saving that Very Magical Dragon Island. It's important

108
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: that we keep our dragons safe, because we never know

109
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: when we might need their help. On the spy team

110
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the end, great job. You listened all the way to

111
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: the end, and you know what somebody is it's time

112
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: for kid showed out. So I want to say hey

113
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: to Tessa and Sophia from Venice, Florida, Franklin from Nova Scotia,
