Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey friends, it's mister Jimmen. Welcome back to Kids' Animal Stories.
If you haven't yet, make sure that you smashed the
follow buttons so you don't miss out on any of
our awesome stories. Well, do you guys remember what happened
in part two with Ray? Yeah, he crashed on that
humongous wave and now his electrical system isn't working and

(00:26):
he needs to get that fixed or else he'll never
be able to find food again. Well, are you guys
ready to jump into part two of our adventure? Me too,
Let's go. As Ray pulled out the map that Arnold
had given him, he brushed off all the dust. This

(00:49):
was the first time that Ray had ever used a map,
and I think this was a very old map that
Arnold had. Oh boy, okay, how in the world do
I use these things? Have you ever used a map before? Yeah,
they're kind of rare now now that we have GPS,

(01:10):
like on our phones or in our cars. I remember
when I was a kid that I had to use
a map, and when we would go on family road trips,
I would be handed a map and we had to
navigate using all the roads that were on a map.
But sometimes the roads on the map aren't up to date,

(01:30):
Like you could be looking at a map that's really
old and that road doesn't even exist anymore. Well, I
hope Ray doesn't have run into that kind of problem.
Ray spent several minutes studying the map and then folded
it up and placed it in his pocket. It's a
good thing that Ray is a really smart shark. That's
gonna definitely help him along the way. All right, I

(01:51):
think we got to go this way. Here goes nothing.
Ray took off swimming following the direction that he felt
the map was telling him, and he was right. He
started in the right direction. But unfortunately or something in
the way that the map did not tell him about.
As Ray was swimming along, minding his own business, he

(02:12):
saw a whole bunch of splashing ahead. Oh no, you
see that map that was made a long time ago
before this right here was made into a public beach,
a beach full of a whole bunch of people swimming
that are gonna be pretty is scared to see a
shark swim by? Oh no, Ray, You see Ray, he

(02:36):
doesn't like to bother people. He likes to stay far
away from people. But because he's following this old map.
He accidentally bumped into a whole bunch of swimming legs
a shark. Shark. People started to scream and shout, and
Ray did not see it coming. You see his electrical system.

(02:59):
It usually he keeps him away from places like this,
but unfortunately this happened. Oh no, I'm so sorry, said Ray.
He was all disoriented as all these splashing and people
were swimming around him. He got a little nervous and scared. Yeah,

(03:20):
sharks can get scared too, just like me and you.
But if we see a shark in the water, we
should definitely give it some space and get out of
the water. You don't want to swim in the same
place that sharks are. Ray was so scared he zoomed
out of there as fast as he could. Oh dear,
I'm so sorry for scaring all those strange creatures. They

(03:42):
are definitely not like me, haven't I think that was
a people over there, Ray thought to himself. He had
not seen many people before, and he was eager to
get out of there and back on his mission to
find what is his name? Uh, Tony? Oh yes, Tony

(04:02):
the skate You see skates there. They look a lot
like Stingrays. They're not like a skateboard, but Tony he's
a very interesting old skate Finally, after all that craziness
that happened at the beach earlier, Ray finally arrived at
Tony's house. He knocked on the door and called out, hello.

(04:25):
My name's Ray, and I was sent over here. Are
you able to help me out? It appears that my
electrical system is broken. Ah, go away, nobody's home. What
do you mean nobody's home. I just heard you said, Ray.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I mean nobody's home that wants anybody around here.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Just go away, shouted Tony. Oh, I'm so sorry to
bother you. I know you're retired from all this, but
Arnold sent me. I believe Arnold. It's an old friend
of yours. Immediately the door opened, H why didn't you
say so? Yeah, Arnold's an old friend of mine, and

(05:10):
anyone that Arnold sends is a friend of mine. Come
on in, come in. Ray eagerly swam inside and sat
down at the table to explain everything to Tony. You see,
and then after I crashed off the wave and my
head has been throbbing ever since. And in my electrical
system it's not working. Oh, let me take a look.

(05:31):
Come here, come here, Tony swam over Ray's head. Ray's
eyes got really big. As Tony was poking and prodding
around on his head. He was a little surprised at
how close Tony was to his eyeballs. Oh hi, Tony, Uh,
you're right in front of my eyeball. Is there something

(05:52):
you need there? Yeah? Well no, no, no, just don't
move a muscle.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I'm looking for a you're current in here. It's right
around your eyeball. Oh yes, I see the problem. Just
hang on a second.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Tony swam off to his back room. I think he
was looking for an old part or something, something that
would replace the broken piece inside of Ray's head. All right,
this should do the trick. Tony had gone back to
grab some tweezers, and I guess a piece of the
coral had gotten wedge inside of raised spiracle. You see

(06:29):
a spiracles. It's this little holes or this little slit
behind a shark's eye, and it helps all the oxygenated
blood flow in their body. And I guess a piece
of coral had gotten wedge in that spiracle, and Tony
was gonna pull it out, all right, just old still

(06:49):
a second, said Tony. One two three ow off. Oh
that kind of hurt, said Ray. But oh my headache
is gone. You did it. Ah. Oh, I feel so
much better. Thank you so much, Tony.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh no problem, Ray. Well, I gotta get back to
some things. But thanks for stopping him by and tell Arnold,
I said, hi, Oh, I.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Definitely will thank you. Bye. As Ray left Tony's house,
he felt so much better. Oh, and his electrical system
was working, so he didn't have to use that map
anymore and he could just swim on home and avoid
that beach full of people. Wow, that is such an

(07:38):
awesome adventure. And I'm so glad that Ray got that
finally fixed and then he won't be bumping into any
more swimming people legs. The end. Great job, you listened
all the way to the end, and all right, question time,

(08:00):
who remembers Tony? What kind of creature was Tony? Was
he some kind of crab, a skateboard or like a stingray. Yes,
he's like a stingray. No, not a skateboard, he's a
skate They are kind of like a stingray. That is
super cool. I'm so glad that Ray was able to

(08:23):
get that thing out of his spiracle because I don't
think we want any more sharks getting lost at the
beaches right. Definitely, definitely not well. You guys have a
super duper day and I'll see you next time. Bye.
