Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit
Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from Teddy and Maybel. Hey, guys,
they sent me an awesome idea for a story, and
you can too. Just head over to kitshort stories dot com.
Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into
an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for an amazing

(00:25):
story about abominable snowman in the mountains? Me too, Let's go.
Today was the day that Teddy and Mabel We're gonna
go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Have you ever seen

(00:49):
very big mountains before? Mountains are so cool and sometimes
very very big. And at the very top of big,
big mountains, do you know that white stuff up there? Yeah, snow.
Where I live there is not very much snow, and
so when we go visit the mountains and see snow

(01:12):
at the top, that is really cool. Well, Teddy and Mabel,
we're very excited to go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
They packed all their hiking gear, put on their hiking boots,
and were ready for an amazing adventure. Mabel, are you ready?
Said Teddy? Yep, I got all my stuff. Uh, could

(01:33):
you grab the water bottles for us? Yeah, Teddy went
to grab two water bottles. That's really important when you're
going on a hiking adventure. You gotta stay hydrated and
drink plenty of water. Well, Teddy and Mabel had all
their things ready and them and their family they were
ready for an amazing adventure. They drove out way far

(01:57):
into the mountains where the trail had been. Do you
know what a trail head means? Yeah, trail head means
it's like the beginning of a trail, like the head
of if the trail was a body, and the trail
head was the top, that is the starting point. Teddy
and Mabel had planned out this adventure for a very

(02:19):
long time. They even had maps of this trail. They
knew that this trail would lead them all the way
to some snow, which would be really cool to see
in the summertime when it's not snowing. That's snow. It
melts and it turns to what is what happens when
snow melts? Does it turn to lava or candy or water? Water? Yes? Yes,

(02:46):
says of course. Snow melts and turns to water which
starts flowing into rivers or waterfalls, and it's really really
cold water. If you touch it, it would make you
shiver and maybe turn you instantly to ice. And no,
it won't turn you ice, but it's very cold. And

(03:07):
Teddy and Mabel really wanted to see the beginning of
where these rivers started from the melting snow. They had
a long hike ahead of them. It was going to
take several hours to get there, but it was worth it. Oh, Teddy,
could you check the map? Teddy pulled out the map,

(03:28):
and hey, it looks like we're getting closer. They had
already been hiking for several hours. Teddy, Mabel and their
parents were working really hard to get up this very
tall mountain up ahead. They heard a strange sound. Right,
what was that? Was that a mountain lion?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Everybody, hold still, don't run, don't move a muscle. Teddy,
Mabel and their family all stood ill. It's not good
to run away from a bear or something scary. You
gotta stand your ground and make you look really big
and brave. All right, I don't hear it anymore. Let's

(04:13):
keep walking. They kept walking, and it's a good thing
that sound didn't come from the direction that they were headed,
because that wouldn't be smart if you were to walk
towards that scary sound. But it was off to the side.
Then they saw some trees start to shake, and all
of a sudden, there it was. Teddy and Mabel both

(04:36):
started to scream, and so did the big monster. U
s turned me, it yelled, wait a second, what are you?
It looked like a ginormous white bear, but not like
a bowler bear. But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
I'm himy abominable snowman, And what are you doing up here?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Who are you? Well, my name's Mabel and this is
Teddy and my parents, and we were coming on a
hiking adventure and we're really sorry that we scared you.
Well you kind of scared us too. Well, I'm sorry
for scaring you. But you see, there's this evil man here.
He's trying to steal all the water, the clean snow melt,

(05:27):
and I'm I have to stop him. Wait who is
trying to steal the water? I don't know, but he's
very stinky, and I don't know why he wants all
this water. Teddy and Mabel looked at each other. Did
he just say stinky? Said Teddy? Mabel turned and looked

(05:50):
at the Abominable Snowman and said, does he look like this?
They pulled out a picture, and the Abominable snow shook
his head. Yes, yes, that's exactly what he looks. How
do you have a picture of him? It's doctor Stinky Breath.

(06:10):
Don don Dawn. Teddy and Mabel, we're on the spy team,
and we're always on the lookout for doctor Stinky Breath,
and they never imagined that he would be way up
here in the mountains. Okay, well, we gotta figure out
a way to help this abominable snowman stop Doctor Stinky Breath.

(06:30):
I don't know why he wants this water, but it's
probably for something evil. Teddy and Mabel and their whole
family put on their spy gear and got to work.
All right, mister Abominable Snowman said Teddy, we're gonna need
you to hide, and then when that doctor Stinky Breath
comes out again, you're gonna need to scare him as

(06:52):
with the biggest roar that you possibly can. Can you
do that?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
I don't know if I can. He's very scary looking.
You're the Abominable Snowman, said Mabel. Everyone's afraid of you.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
You can do this?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Are you sure?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I guess the Abominable Snowman was not very confident. Do
you know what it means to be confident? Being confident
means that you're sure of yourself and your abilities. So
this Abominable Snowman, who I know, we can all agree
that he is very scary looking and shouldn't have any
problems scaring off doctor Stinky Breath, he needs to believe

(07:33):
that for himself confidence, it's not about being you know,
I'm better than you, but it's just about believing what's true.
The Abominable Snowman needs to believe and be confident that
he can scare off doctor Stinky Breath. All right, well,
I guess I can try. We know that you can,

(07:56):
said Teddy, okay, ah, how do you do that? Well,
sometimes we like we choose to be brave, as on
the spy team when we counted three, then it helps
us be brave. Okay, I guess I can try that.
The Abominable Snowman took to his secret position where he

(08:18):
was gonna hide and then jump out and scare off
Doctor Stinky Breath. He hid in some bushes and to himself.
He counted a three one two, Oh, dear a three.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
You should have seen doctor Stinky Brett's face. He was
so afraid of that scared abominable snowman he ran for
the hills and was never seen there again. He had
given up in his pursuit of collecting this very special
cold water. Great job, mister abominable snowman, shouted Mabel.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yes, I guess I did do a good job. Thanks
for helping with me believing in myself, you abominable snowman
who knew that he even needed to believe in himself
and have some confidence. Great job, Teddy and Mabel, you
saved the day the end. Great job you listen all

(09:27):
the way to the end, and you.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Know what tell it is. It's time for kid shout out.
I want to say hey to Emma from Brazil, Harley
from Vancouver Island, Levi and Andy from Pennsylvania, Kiki and
Ruby May from Calgary, Alberta, the Teal room at Ellenel
Academy in Chicago, and Ashton and Owen from Hawaii. I'm

(09:49):
so glad that you're all on the Kid short Story's
family and on our spy team. We could not stop
doctor stinky breath. Without you, my friends, well you have
a super duper di and I will see you on
our next adventure which there's so many more stories. Bye.
