1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Short Stories. I love reading through these reviews that you

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: send me on Apple Podcasts. This one is a five star.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: It says it's from Mira Brooklyn. I love your stories.

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: When I can't watch my iPad, I listen to you

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: and I'm six and a half years old. That's awesome. Yes,

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: stories can be an awesome thing to do, to just

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: use your imagination while you're playing or in the car,

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: maybe getting ready for bed. Well, friends, are you ready

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: for today's adventure? Me too. Let's go one day, far

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: far away. In the middle of pitch black dark space

12
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: lived a group of space pirates. Yeah, space pirates. You know.

13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: These were actually good space pirates, but they had a

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: very important job. Their job was to protect all of

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: space from asteroids that were cruising around and making sure

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't crash into anything that would cause too

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: much damage. Are right today? We have several asteroids that

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: are on our schedule. We have to make sure one

19
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: doesn't crash into the Moon and Mars, and oh dear,

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: there's one headed to planet Earth.

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: Okay, ugodbyes by, how we gotta do that? If there's

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: three asteroids and only two of us and one jetpack.

23
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: The math doesn't add up on that. Wait one second,

24
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: you mean there's only two of us? Now, what happened

25
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: to Roger?

26
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 2: Well, Roger he went on vacation. He I think he's

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: in Jupiter.

28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna need you to get to planet Earth

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: and get yourself another jetpack. I'll use this one to

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: get the two. Then you'll need to stop the one

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: asteroid before it crashes into Earth.

32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: You mean Earth? Oh?

33
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Earth? You see these pirates? Uh? I guess you

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: know Roger he's on vacation in Jupiter, and so it's

35
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: only these two that have to protect all of space

36
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: and all of its asteroids. It looks like two are

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: headed to the well, once to the Moon and once

38
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: to the Mars, and on one to Earth. And they

39
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: only have one jetpack. Oh dear, So Pete the pirate

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: he started on a voyage to planet Earth. He had

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: never actually been to Earth. He was a little nervous

42
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: because he had always heard that pirates don't you know,

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: most people don't really like pirates on planet Earth. So

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: he was a little nervous about asking for some help.

45
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: But he was gonna be in for a big surprise

46
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: when a very unsuspecting helper would help him get a jetpack. Meanwhile,

47
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: down on planet Earth, Simon was playing with some friends

48
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: at a lake near his house. They were doing cannonballs

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: off the pier into the water. One two, three, bah splash.

50
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: That was awesome, Simon shouted his friends. They were having

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: such a great day that day. It was pretty hot

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: outside and so it was a perfect day to spend

53
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: at the lake doing cannonballs into the water. But pretty

54
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: soon there was gonna be a cannonball unlike they'd ever

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: seen before. As Simon pulled himself up back on the

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: dock of the lake, he looked around and wait a second, guys,

57
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: what's that coming from the clouds? Is that an asteroid?

58
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Everybody take cover. Simon and all of his friends dropped

59
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: to their knees and protected their heads with their arms,

60
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: as all of a sudden, there was a ginormous explosion, well,

61
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: a giant splash in the lake. Water when flying everywhere,

62
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: completely dousing them on the dock, and they all screamed

63
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: in terror. Oh what's going on? Shouted Simon. We gotta

64
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: get out of here, yelled his friends as they started

65
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: running down the dock towards shore. Simon turned around to

66
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: see what had happened and heard someone calling for help.

67
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: Help me, had somebody help me? What is all this?

68
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: What? Stuff all over?

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Everybody? Help? I'm coming, shouted Simon as he dove into

70
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: the water and swam to that person who needed help.

71
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you can just help me.

72
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: Okay, don't worry, you're safe. I have you now, and

73
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: I'll just take you to shore.

74
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't feel my nose and I'm think I'm

75
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: gonna take a little nap.

76
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: Don't fall asleep on me, Oh dear. Simon kept swimming

77
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: this person all the way to shore. Finally they washed

78
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: up on the beach, and that is when Simon realized

79
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: that it was a pirate. Holy smokes, how did a pirate?

80
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: Just where did you come from? Simon was a little confused,

81
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: and I would be too, if all of a sudden,

82
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: a real pirate just showed up in the middle of

83
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: a lake. I don't think that's where pirates usually like

84
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: to hang out. But this pirate had somehow crashed into

85
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: this water and was now snoring, and Simon didn't exactly

86
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: know what to do. Uh, you should probably wake up now,

87
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Simon said as he shook the hit the shoulders.

88
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: Who's doing that?

89
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Oh? Hello, there byes, Okay, please don't hurt me. The pirate.

90
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: I'm my name is Simon, and I just helped saved you.

91
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: I pulled you out of the lake.

92
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: Oh wow, thank you, yes, thank you for doing that.

93
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: I couldn't have done it without you. But you see,

94
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 2: I'm I'm here because I'm here to save planet Earth

95
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: from an asteroid that's crashing.

96
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: You're what, said Simon with a blank look on his face.

97
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I know, I'm a space pirate and I was

98
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: said here because I need a jet pack. It's kind

99
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: of complicated, but anyway, do you know how I can

100
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: get a jet pack?

101
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Simon's eyes were very large as he was very surprised

102
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: and didn't exactly know how to answer that. Wait a second,

103
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: you said you're a space pirate, like you're actually from space.

104
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: I know there are space pirates, Like, wait a second,

105
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: are you here to steal things or explain yourself? Said Simon.

106
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, we're not the stealing kind

107
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 2: of pirates where the protecting pirates just call me protector Pete.

108
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's a pretty cool name. Protector Pete. All right, uh,

109
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: Protector Pete. So you need to jet pack. I can

110
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: get you one of those. Uh all right, come with me.

111
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: Simon led Protector Pete the pirate on a trail that

112
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: was headed towards HQ. Simon was on the Spy Team

113
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: and they were always looking for new members to the

114
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Spy team, and he didn't ever remember hearing about any

115
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: pirates on the Space Team's force. Uh so maybe maybe

116
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: this would work out. So you mean to tell me

117
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: that all the asteroids in space, you and the other

118
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: Space pirates make sure that they don't crash into anything

119
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: super damaging.

120
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, you've got everything absolutely perfect. That's exactly what

121
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: we do. And yeah, I always said here because one

122
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: of the other space pirates he's a vacation a Jupiter.

123
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Vacation on Jupiter, said Simon. You know it's just come

124
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: to the lake on vacation. I've never been to another planet. Yeah,

125
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: that's a part of being in space. There's not many

126
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: good vacations, but Jupiter. Jupiter's great. That's tabby Air. Okay,

127
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: we're almost to HQ, said Simon. Once we get there

128
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: and you explain everything, I'm sure they'll be able to

129
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: get you what you need. And that's exactly what happened

130
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: as Simon introduced the space Pirate to HQ. HQ is

131
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: able to get him a beautiful, brand new jet pack,

132
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: which is what he needed to save the day in

133
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: space and to save planet Earth from a giant crashing asteroid.

134
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: But that is a story for another time, a story

135
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: of many more space pirates and adventures says, they save

136
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: us all from crashing asteroids the end. Great job, you

137
