Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid

00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: which is a really fun place where we learn about

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: animals in a fun way. Are you guys ready for

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. One day, Shuo was

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: in his room and he was getting ready for an

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: amazing camping adventure. Ooh, I love camping adventures. If you

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: were to go on a camping adventure, I want you

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: to start thinking about what you would bring on your trip. Well,

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Shuo was getting everything ready. He had his tent, sleeping bag,

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: food and water, and some rope. Yeah, he was going

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: camping in a place where there were bears in the area.

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: And so whenever you're camping where there might be bears

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: in nearby, you have to put all your food. When

20
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: you're done with it, you have to put your food

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: in a bag and tie it up really high in

22
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: a tree. That's what the rope is for. Well, Shua

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: was preparing for this trip. He'd been looking forward to

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: it for a very long time, and it was time

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: to go. Oh right, I can't wait to go exploring

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: and see what is out there. I wonder if maybe

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: I'll find something no one has ever seen before. Yes,

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Shua was going exploring in a forest where not many

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: had ever been. You see, this forest was all around

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: surrounded by the pokiest of thorns. Who likes thorns?

31
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: Oh me?

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Neither thorns are the worst. And I think that's why

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: not many had gone exploring in this forest before, because

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: of all the thorns. But Shua had a plan. He

35
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: was going to bring some cutters to cut down those

36
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: thorns so that he could get through without well, with

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: not many scratches. I'm sure he's probably going to get scratched. Well,

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: Shua began his way towards the forest. He was just

39
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: imagining all the places that maybe no one has ever

40
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: seen before. Maybe there's a waterfall in there, or maybe

41
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: there's a treasure left from hundreds or thousands of years ago.

42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: If you went to a forest that was very hard

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: to get to, and probably no one had ever been in.

44
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: What would you be excited to find? I think I

45
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: would be excited to find just a quiet place where

46
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: no one's ever been, or maybe a waterfall or some

47
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: cool rock formations. I don't know, it would be so cool.

48
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: As Shua approached the forest, he saw the giant wall

49
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: of thorns. Wow, those are some poky thorns. As he

50
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: took out his clippers and started to carefully clip down

51
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: the thorny plants to make a trail for him to

52
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: get in, he realized how thick it was. It was

53
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: not just a place where he had to just jump

54
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: over some thorny bushes, but it was like a whole

55
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: trail of them. He had to make a tunnel. WHOA,

56
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: that would be pretty scary if you had to cut

57
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: your way into a thorny thicket and make a whole tunnel. WHOA,

58
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: completely surrounded by thorns. Wow, Shua is brave. As he

59
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: continued climbing and crawling through making his tunnel into this

60
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: thorny forest, he had no idea what was going to

61
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: be on the other side. It felt like hook forever,

62
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: but finally he reached the forest. As he stood up

63
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: and brushed off the dirt off his pants. How he

64
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: looked around and was amazed. Yes, this forest looked like

65
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: it had been here for thousands of years without anyone

66
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: ever disturbing it. This is going to be a cool adventure.

67
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: As Shua hiked in, he found a great a perfect

68
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: spot to make his tin. He set up his campsite

69
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: and wanted to start exploring around. But remember all that

70
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: food he had, which he brought some yummy food to

71
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: eat for dinner, but also some marshmallows, because who doesn't

72
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: like marshmallows when they're camping? Yeah, I think that's like

73
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: a necessity. A basic ingredient of camping is marshmallows. Well,

74
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: he put all that food and the marshmallows in a bag,

75
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: tied it up in a rope, and threw it over

76
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: a tall brand inch and tied it to the tree

77
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: so that it was dangling way high up. Do you

78
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: remember why we do that? Yes, the bears. We don't

79
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: want the bears to eat our food because bears are

80
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: very good sniffers and we don't want them to eat

81
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: our food. Well, Shua walked away to go explore. Maybe

82
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: we could find a waterfall or who knows what this

83
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: is a land that could be full of new discoveries.

84
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: As he walked towards a creek and knelt down to

85
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: feel the water, it felt nice and cool as it

86
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: rushed through his fingers. Wow, this is a beautiful stream.

87
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: The water is so clear. Oh no, sounds like there's

88
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: a bear nearby. I gotta go get my bear horn.

89
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: One of the things that he brought in his supplies

90
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: was this can that when he pressed the button, it

91
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: made this very loud alarm sound like it's very loud

92
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: and very annoying, and it scares bears away. So he

93
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: had to go find that can to make sure that

94
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: bear didn't get his food. As he was looking for

95
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: his can and searching all over, wait, my goodness, there

96
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: it is, he could see the bear sniffing. He's coming

97
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: for my food. Oh no, but what's that around his neck?

98
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: That bear had some kind of collar. It was a

99
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: bright purple. Yeah, it looks like a purple collar. Oh no,

100
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: she would realize what that was. That was a bear

101
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: that was on the purple Ninjas and doctors think he

102
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: brought his team he had heard about animals that they

103
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: had captured and made them do stuff for them and

104
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, bear, I'm here and I'm not afraid.

105
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: Go away bear.

106
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: The bear turned and looked with a shocked, surprise face,

107
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: and then he sounded the alarm on his can. The

108
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: bear held his paws up to his ears and fell

109
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: to the ground.

110
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: So sorry, please, I'm sorry.

111
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: Shea stopped and said, wait a second, you can talk.

112
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: Are you on the Purple Ninja's tea.

113
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. They make me do this. They make

114
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: me smell the things like marshmallows, and I smelled marshmallows

115
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: so I was coming to steal it and bring it

116
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: back to Doctor's Stinky Breath. And I'm so sorry to

117
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: scare you. I know, I know this is wrong, but

118
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: I they make me do it.

119
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: They make you do this, said Sua. Sua and the

120
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: bear began to talk, and it turned out that this

121
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: bear was actual pretty nice, but Doctor Sinkybreath and the

122
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas had forced him to be on their team,

123
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: and they were making him do bad things like steele marshmallows.

124
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you for telling me that, mister bear.

125
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: Oh please call me Barney. Barney, Okay, well, you don't

126
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: have to do bad things anymore. You could probably be

127
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: on our spy team. We need creatures like you that

128
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: are smart and brave.

129
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: What are you talking about.

130
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: I've done bad things and I could never be on

131
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: the spy team. If you are willing to leave the

132
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: bad team and just stop doing all those bad things

133
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: and join our spy team, then I'm sure that we

134
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: would love to have you on board. The Bear was

135
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: so happy. He had not liked being on the Purple

136
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Ninja team. He knew it was wrong, but he was

137
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: so glad that Shua invited him to be on the

138
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: spy team. That is the beginning of a really good

139
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: friendship between them. They would soon become partners on the

140
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: spy team and go on to solve many mysteries together.

141
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: The end, great job. You listened all the way to

142
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: the end, and you know what time it is.

143
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: It's time for Kid shout out. I want to say

144
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: hey to Joram from Maryland, Hadley, Hudson and Everett from Massachusetts,

145
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,959

146
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: Elliott and Connor from Pennsylvania, and Hartnir from Toronto. I'm

147
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: so glad that you're all in the Kid Short Stories family.

148
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: And on our spy team. We could not stop doctor

149
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: Stinky Breath without you, my friends. Well, right now you

150
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: can head on over to our Kids Animals Stories pod

151
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: cast because there's a new episode waiting for you. I'll

152
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: see you there bye,
