Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid
Short Stories. Today's story is brought to us by Adele. Hey, Adele,
she sent me an awesome idea for a story, and
you can't too. Just head over to kidshortstories dot com.
Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into
an awesome adventure. And don't forget to smash the follow
button so you don't not miss out on any of

(00:26):
our awesome stories. Are you ready for a story about
a unicorn that turns into a donut? Wait? What me too?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Today was a very special day for Adele. You see,
Adele is a unicorn and today was her birthday and
she's very excited to celebrate it with all of her friends.
As she woke up that morning, she knew that she
had a lot of work to do for her sprinkle party.
If you were to have a birth day party, what
kind of party would you like to have? Would it

(01:04):
be like a sprinkle party like Adele? Or a spy party,
or an adventure one or an animal one or oh
there's so many great party options. Well, Adele had always
dreamed of having a sprinkle party.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Do you know what that is?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
It's where you get tons and tons.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Millions of sprinkles and you.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Kind of have a crazy sprinkle fight. Yeah, so all
the unicorns were gonna come and they were just gonna
throw sprinkles all over the place. Yes, it was gonna
turn into a giant mess that would need to be
cleaned up, but it would be totally worth it.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh girl, startlans will come. Huh, we'll come to my
partal time on, along time on.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
As she opened the door, all of her friends rushed
inside to give her a big birthday hug. They put
their birthday presents on the table and got to work.
Wait what do you mean work? Oh, yes, the sprinkle fight.
All the unicorns grabbed cups and cups of sprinkles and
started to throw them around. Oh my goodness, that was

(02:08):
the biggest mess I've ever seen, But they were having
a ton of fun.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Who bless all those Lovesprito.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Armouths, said Adele. What started as a really fun, exciting
day is quickly gonna turn into a very complicated birthday party.
It was time for cake, and as the candles were
lit and Adele sat back ready to blow, her friends said, don't.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Forget to not a rush.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
That's the most important part. Adele started to think to herself,
all right, what do I want to be? What do
I want to be? As she thought and thought and thought,
one of her friends shouted out, who wants a donut?
And Adele turned and said donut. As Adele blew out
the candles, she didn't realize what a giant mistake had

(02:59):
been made. She had been trying to think of a
wish and accidentally, Oh dear, just like that. As soon
as the last candle went out and the smoke cleared,
Adele was no longer a unicorn.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Ah wear a dollar.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Girl, said one of her friends.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I'm right, darn sir, Ron, it's our bug.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
As Adele looked around, she realized that she was no
longer a unicorn, but she had been turned into a donut.
Dune dundun Wait a second, Adele turned into a donut
all from a wish of Holy smokes. We gotta be
careful of what we wish for when we blow out

(03:44):
candles on a birthday cake. She just accidentally turned into
a donut.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Her No, I'll munth that I wanted a doughnut, not
that I wanted to blood donut.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Har Adele started to cry as all of her friends
ran over to comfort her.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
That's all called doll. Let's tell a to the frown.
There's a I'm sure there's a rather rison turned the
rock through a normal corn.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
H mar star Tuggle said one of her friends. Rules
have to go still of the rush, Farral shovel a
little to.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Reverse the rush. Oh, yes, the wish fairy. Have you
ever heard of the wish fairy? You see, wishes are
very important matters, and especially when you're blowing out candles
and dealing with those kinds of wishes, they must be
handled very carefully, as we just seen from our unicorn
friend who was actually turned herself into a donut. If
you could turn yourself into any dessert, what would you pick?

(04:41):
I don't I think a donut's actually not a bad choice.
Or a cupcake? Those are pretty good. As Adele, the
donut rolled onto one of her unicorn friends back, they
flew off to find the wish Fairy. The wish Fairy
lived on a very tall mountain. U isn't tall enough
for snow. It was. It was grassy, but it came

(05:04):
up to a very sharp point, like if you drew
this mountain on a piece of paper, it would look
like a triangle, and if you were climbing up the mountain,
it would look like it came up to an actual
point at the top.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
All right, excellent, there was fairy littles in that troller
over there, sir, Let's go over there and silvers m
said Adele's friend as they walked over towards the tree
and shouted out.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Rush Farral, Rush Fowler.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh why hello dear, and did you bring me a
donut as a present?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
My amanals ado and the accidentally turn myself into a
doughnut when I was trying to rush for something for
my birthday, Pardal, I'll rush or little turns black?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't know, Azora Corn.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
The wish Fairy had never seen something like this happen
ever before, but of course she could help.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh yes, that's easy.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Come closer and poof, Just like that, the wish Fairy
held out her wand and Adele instantly turned back into
her unicorn self.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Huh, floor, I thought, a little stuck ats a sprinkle
doughnut for the rest of my life. Ah thont so
so much, Rush fraurel.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh, you're welcome. Just remember to be more careful when
you're making a wish, because you did look awfully delicious
and I would not want you to accidentally get eaten
by somebody over this. Well, you two get home safely,
now bye, as the wish fairy waved goodbye Adele and
her friend. Now both two unicorns were able to fly

(06:48):
back to the sprinkle party. They were able to have
an amazing rest of the time, throwing sprinkles around and
making a giant, silly, crazy mess that they did need
to clean up at the end, but it was totally
worth it, and now Adele will be extra, super duper
careful the next time that she has a wish. The end,

(07:17):
great job, you listened all the way to the end,
and you know what time it is.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's time for kid shout out. I want to say
hey to Cooper and Reese from Utah, Brielle from Charlotte,
Norman and Exeter from Washington, Raffie and Ezra from New Jersey,
Raymond from Miami, Linda from Maryland, Cooper and Sydney from Maine,
