1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Short Stories. If this is your first time or you're

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: still newer to our family, I want to encourage you

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: to try five. That's our challenge, where for five days

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: in a row, your kids listen to some awesome stories

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: to use their imagination and watch their creativity come to life.

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: You see, we make stories every single day for you,

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: and you just never know what kind of story you're

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna find on any given day. So hang with me

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: for five days, whether maybe driving in the car or

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: maybe during lunchtime, and I think you're gonna find something

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: pretty amazing happens. Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure?

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: Me too.

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let be the leopard, get go, love to

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: go on adventures. He lived in a place far away,

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: in a country called Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: very hot country full of a giant desert. Let me

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: lived underneath the palm tree in the middle of that desert.

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: But was he a normal leopard gecko? No, he wasn't.

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: He was a super secret spy on our spy team.

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: He would have special missions that HQ would send his way.

22
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: He would have to do all krinds of crazy things.

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes he'd even have to ride a camel across the desert.

24
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Other times he would sneak through the dark of the

25
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: night to spy on the Purple Ninjas. Well, one day

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: he received a mission that was unlike he'd ever seen before.

27
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: On that day, it seemed like a normal day. But boy,

28
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: oh boy, no, it wasn't. How he received messages was.

29
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: There was a rock next to the palm tree he

30
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: lived at. Every morning he would look underneath the rock.

31
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: There was a tiny little piece of paper with a

32
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: secret message on it, and today's message said he would

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: have to travel all the way across the world. You see,

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: since Leppie was on a team with other spies, they

35
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: sometimes worked together for certain missions. And all the way

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: across the world was a kid on our spy team

37
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: named Benny who needed a partner, so they recruited Leppie

38
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: the leper Gecko to be his teammate. Leppee had never

39
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: traveled that far before, and he was a little bit nervous,

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: but he did know how to choose to be brave.

41
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: He said, there's nothing that kid stab it now, all right, let's.

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Go, And so Leppie papped up its bags. Well, Leopard,

43
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: get go. They don't actually have mini bags. He only

44
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: had one, and so he packed up his one bag

45
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: with his socks and pajamas and a snack of crickets,

46
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: and off he went. He was ready for the adventure.

47
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: As he was walking across the desert, he had to

48
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: be super duper careful and secret. He didn't want to

49
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: be seen, so he had a special plan.

50
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: I first have to sneak up a top of the

51
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: cabble and ride on its underneath it's ears so that

52
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: no one will see me. Cabble will take me all

53
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: the way across the desert to a ship, and I

54
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: could get on the shepherd sail across the ocean to

55
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: where I need to go.

56
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Leppie did. He followed a map

57
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: all the way to where he needed to go, and

58
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: so the spy team they said he needed to go

59
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: to Benny's house, but he lived in a neighborhood. Eh.

60
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: Leppey had never been there before, and he never really

61
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: even been to a neighborhood before. Remember, he lived in

62
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: a desert. So as he entered into Benny's neighborhood, oh, dear.

63
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: All these houses kind of look the same. How do

64
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: I know which one's Betty's house?

65
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, And then he remembered there was an address.

66
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: What was the address? Uh, it was four three zero

67
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: Forest Thrive. Yeah, that's it, four three zero. So Leppie

68
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 2: had to look for those numbers. Four three zero. Hmmm,

69
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: I don't see it. That one says four two two. Okay,

70
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: we must be close. Oh, there it was.

71
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: It was only three houses away. But then all of

72
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, all the smucks, there were purple ninjas. There

73
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: were three purple ninjas right by Benny's house. They must

74
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: have been waiting for him.

75
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: Ho, they are not these guys? Hot am I gonna do?

76
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: Leppie then came up with a plan.

77
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: He saw a box sitting on the front step of

78
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Benny's house. Leppie remembered that in the spy kit he had,

79
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: there was a special button that he had to push

80
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: when he got to Benny's door. So his idea he

81
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: was gonna sneak inside the box on Benny's porch so

82
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: that the Purple Ninjas wouldn't see him, and then push

83
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the button to let Benny know he was there.

84
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: Oki Doki that sounds like a thuperduper plaid hright now.

85
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: What, Well, it's a good thing that Leppie was really

86
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: good camouflage. Do you know what camouflage means? Yes, it

87
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: means that he's really good at hiding and blending in

88
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: with his surroundings. And so Leppie used his awesome camouflage

89
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: and super secret sneaking to walk all the way to

90
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: Benny's front porch without the Purple Ninjas even sing anything.

91
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: Then he slipped right into the box that was sitting

92
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: on Benny's front porch that would keep him safe, save

93
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: enough for Benny to come outside and pick it up.

94
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Then Lenny pushed the button. He hoped that button would

95
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: work because he never done this before. But he pushed

96
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: the button, hoping that Benny knew that he was there.

97
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: As he pushed that button, he waited every second that

98
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: ticked by. He was so nervous. Who's going to come

99
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: pick up the box? Is it going to be the

100
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas or Benny? Oh? Oh dear, something? Just picked

101
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: up the box? Ho? How does this Benny? The box

102
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: was carefully sat back down and opened up, and it

103
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: was Benny. Leppie had made it and now Leppy and

104
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 1: Benny were a new spy team, the best spy team

105
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: in town. But what is going to happen next with

106
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: these two? I'm not sure. We're gonna have to wait

107
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: and see what happens on the next episode of Kids
