1 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Short Stories. I need you on the spy team and 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: you have to listen close and look carefully. Down in 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: the show notes below is the very stop secret phone 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: number for HQ. This is where we send out all 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: of our communication to our spies. So if you look 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: in the show notes below and send us a text, 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: then we can send you all of the challenges and 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: let you know if the purple Mingchs or Doctor Sinky 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Breath are in your area. Friends, are you ready for 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. It was a beautiful 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: day as Monty and Kai. We're driving on the school 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: bus on the way home after a great day at school. 14 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: As the school bus came to a squeaky stop, the 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: doors opened and Monty and Kai grabbed their backpacks and 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: walk down the steps out the door of the school bus. 17 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: They waved by to their friends as the bus zoomed off. 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: What do you want to do today? Said Kai? I 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: think we should definitely keep working on our fort What 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: do you think? Yes, let's do that. Monty and Kai 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: raced back to their house to get to their backyard. 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: This was where they were building their fort. It was 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: made of a whole bunch of sticks and branches and 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: trees that they had found in the forest nearby. They 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: had been building the structure for many, many weeks. It 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: was big enough for them to both go inside and 27 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: even stand up. Have you ever built a fort before? 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: They can be a really fun thing to do outside 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: with friends. And Kai and Monty were both very good 30 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: fort builders. But all of a sudden they heard that sound. Hey, 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: it looks like we got a message. Let's check it out, 32 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: Monty and Kai, this is HQ. We have stumbled onto 33 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: a new location of a stinky crystal. It appears to 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: have been accidentally swallowed by a giant hippopotamus. We will 35 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: send you the coordinates and it's your job to recover 36 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: that very stinky crystal before doctor Stinky Breath and Professor 37 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: sticky fingers get their hands on it. Good luck. Manty 38 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: and Kai froze and looked at each other. Did they say? 39 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: A hippopotamus swallowed it? Said Manty, like, one, how did 40 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: that happen? And two? How are we gonna get it 41 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: out of the belly of a hip hop? I don't 42 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: even want to think about it. Kai closed his eyes 43 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: and shivered. They both knew what it might mean of 44 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: how they were going to get back that stinky crystal. 45 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Do you guys remember what the stinky crystal is? Yes, 46 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: it's a crystal that doctor Stinky Breath has wanted to 47 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: for a very long time. And I guess there's more 48 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: than one. And if he gets his hands on that 49 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: stinky crystal, it will give him stinky powers. Oh, we 50 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: cannot let that happen. Meanwhile, up in the purple blimp, 51 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: high up in the sky, Professor Sticky Fingers was on 52 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: to a new plan. Oh boy, doctor, come over here, 53 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: look at our stinky radar. It's going peppepepeep. I think 54 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: I found one. What are you talking about, Professor? You'd 55 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: better be talking about the stinky crystal because the last 56 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: one says we stole those spy teams don't get back. 57 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: All right, it's better be good news about Do you 58 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: know where the location of another stinky crystal is? Oh? Boy, 59 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: of course I do. Look at this, Professor Sticky Fingers 60 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: was looking at a big screen and had a flashing 61 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: red dot in the middle of a map. You mean 62 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: our stinky redar actually fucks wow? Oh, those purple ninjas 63 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: actually did something goodsyes time. Okay, professor, Well, let's put 64 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: in some coordinates for that red flashing light and turn 65 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: our purple blimp towards findings that crystal. Then we will 66 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: be able to make the world very very stinky. Back 67 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: at Monty and Kai's house, they were grabbing all their 68 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: spy gear and they were gonna need all of it 69 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: for this very unknown mission of protecting the stinky crystal 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: from doctor stinky Breath. But that crystal was inside the 71 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: belly of a giant hippopotamus. All right, you got your 72 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: jet pack, said Monty. It's all ready to go. Let's roll, 73 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: said Kai. Kai and Manty blasted off with their jetpacks, 74 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: zooming towards the clouds. They had the coordinates of this hippopotamus. 75 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: It was pretty far away, but their jetpacks would get 76 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: them there very quickly. So Kai, uh, do you have 77 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,679 Speaker 1: any ideas of how we're gonna get the stinky crystal 78 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: out of the hippopotamus, asked Monty. Kai took a deep 79 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: breath and said, yeah, I've been thinking about that for 80 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: a while. I'm pretty sure that we're gonna have to 81 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: get a little extra stinky to get the stinky crystal, 82 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. Monty shook his head. 83 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: They both understood the mission. They were gonna need to 84 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: go digging through some hippo poop Ooh oh goodness, gracious, 85 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: Uh do you think you could do that? Oh? I'm 86 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: glad Manti and Kai are on the spy team because 87 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: that takes some super special skills. That is not a 88 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: part of spy training. I don't think we're certified in 89 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: hippopotamus poop, but uh, you know, sometimes the job called 90 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: for some extra bravery and maybe even something to plug 91 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: your nose with. As Monty and Kai were zooming through 92 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: the clouds, they could see off in the distance the 93 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: place where it was believed where the hippopotamus lived. You 94 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: see hippopotamuses. Do you think they live in the desert 95 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: or in the water, Yes, very much. In the water. 96 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: They are. They live pretty much their entire life in 97 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: the water. They're very good swimmers and very fast and powerful. 98 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: You never want to step foot in the same water 99 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: as a hippopotamus because they can be actually very dangerous. 100 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: Did you know that hippopotamus has killed more people than lions. Yeah, 101 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: that's pretty dangerous. I don't know how close these two 102 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: spies are gonna want to get to a hippopotamus. But 103 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: it's a good thing they brought their spy gear with 104 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: them because I think that is gonna help them out 105 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: quite a bit. As they started approaching the lake where 106 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: it was believed that the hippopotamus was, they thought they 107 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: saw something in the clouds. Hey, Monty, did you see 108 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: that over there? Said Kai. He was pointing to a 109 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: big cloud that looked like there was something behind it. No, 110 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything. What was it, said Monty. I 111 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: don't know. It looked like, I don't know, something really 112 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: big behind the cloud. I gotta go check it out. 113 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: Monty flew down towards the ground and laying it on 114 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: the lake as Kai flew around to get a better 115 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: look at what was behind that cloud over there. Monty 116 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: started unpacking some of his spy gear on the beach 117 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: there because he wasn't exactly sure what he was going 118 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: to need in order to find this hippopotamus that swallowed 119 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: the stinky crystal. But then Kai started shouting for him. 120 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: Manti Manty, get down, hide under that tree over there, 121 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: shouted Kai. Manty grabbed all of his gear and listened 122 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: to Kai. Wait, what did you see over there? What 123 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: is it? Said Monty, I just saw the purple blimp 124 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: for real. I don't know how in the world they 125 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: always seem to know everything what's going on, but I 126 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: think doctor Stinky Breath is here to steal the stinky crystal. 127 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? Shouted Kai? What in the 128 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: world are Manty and Kai going to do? They need 129 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: to ask act fast if they're going to save this 130 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: stinky crystal and not let the Professor and the doctor 131 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: get it and take over the world through their ultrapower stinkiness. 132 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: Oh dear, I don't know what's gonna happen, but we're 133 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to wait and see what happens on the 134 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: next episode of Kids Short Stories.
