Fun Activities To Do At Home After Listening

About Mr. Jim:

Hi! I'm Jim Jacob, a South Carolina based creator. I started as a podcaster by accident. Our first real episodes on the internet were me trying to find a solution to help tell my sons stories as I was traveling for work. I recorded some stories and hoped that by uploading them to a podcast app, my wife and kids could have easy access to listen. What started as a fix for our family’s bedtime routine interruption has grown into a worldwide audience with hundreds of thousands of listeners. My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kid
Short Stories. Do you know what makes these stories so
much more fun? Yeah? Listening with a friend. Well, I
want you to think of two friends right now that
your parents can text this episode over to and then
you guys can listen together. Today's story comes to us
from Wade. Hey, Wade, he can sent me an awesome

(00:26):
idea for a story on Kidshortstories dot com and you
can too. Just send me your idea and maybe we'll
turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready
for today's story? Me too, Let's go. Today's story is
another story that happens in my backyard. Have I told

(00:47):
you much about my backyard. Well, it's a beautiful place
with fruit trees and forests and the big barn and
a river that flows through it. Oh yeah, Do you
remember the story Worries about the shark that got lost
in that river or the other creatures that have been
in that river, like the otter. Yeah, well it's that

(01:08):
same river, and this is a story about Beav. The beaver.
He is a beaver that moved into my backyard and
he's actually working on building a beaver dam in the river,
and that is where today's story starts off. It was
a beautiful day and Beav was looking for some more
branches and trees to add onto his beaver dam. Do

(01:32):
you know why beavers build dams. Yeah, it's to stop
the flow of the water for a little bit so
that they can have a nice calm place. They don't
like fast moving water, and so that's why they build
those things, to stop the water from flowing and they
can just have a nice lazy pond to swim in. Huh,

(01:53):
this is coming along just great. Well, I just I
think I need one more of the trees on right,
and then it will be firebacked. Ow. And just like that,
as beebe was chopping on a tree, one of his
teeth hurt really badly. Ow w had ah, I can't

(02:19):
feel my face right? Who's hurt so much? How am
I gonna do this? Okay, maybe I'll just take a
deep breath and try again. Oh, this is not gonna
get better by itself. I think beb is definitely gonna
need some help from a professional. Hi. I guess I'm

(02:43):
gonna have to go see the doctor now. Babe started
heading over to the doctor's office. You see pretty close
by there was a very old goat who had lived
a very long time, and he was the best doctor
in the whole area. He could solve any problem. Hello, Hello,

(03:05):
are you in there? This is BV, and my tooth
are's a lot help. I hear you, I hear you.
Hold your horses. That was the voice of doctor Billy,
the doctor goat that lived in the area that was
hopefully gonna be able to help. BEV is very bad toothache.

(03:26):
All right, BV? What seems to be the problem today? Well,
you see, I was I was chumping away at the tree,
and then all of a sudden, this tooth right here,
death one is start hurting growing badly, and I need
to finish my vor dam or else I'm gonna run
out of time before winder. All right, Well, come a

(03:49):
little closer and i'll I'll take a look. Doctor Billy
leaned in close to take a look at Bev's tooth,
and sure enough he saw the problem. Babe, do you
brush your teeth every day? What? I can't even remember
the last time I've brushed my teeth. What I didn't

(04:11):
know I had to do that? What are you talking about? Well, baby,
teeth they need to be brushed every day because there's
sugar bugs. And those sugar bugs they try to bite
a hole in your teeth and teeth brushing it helps
keep them away. And I can tell that you still
have a lot of sugar bugs on your teeth. I

(04:32):
think that is what's making your tooth hurt, said doctor Billy.
Are you serious there's sugar bugs on my teeth? Oh? Okay, well, kin,
I have a toothbrush and I'll brush out right now.
How fash will it feel better? Well, it might be
a few more days of your toothbrushing that needed to

(04:55):
make it feel a little better, but I ain't say
by the end of uh by on Friday Friday, you
should be feeling a lot better. Oh okay, well, thanks
for the directions, and can I have like to to
brush at your faith please? That's herein as all right,
I'll see a lander, babe.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I bye, Doctor Villy, Thank you very Matt bv the beaver.
Oh he felt so much better now knowing what he
had to do. Do you brush your teeth really well?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh? I do? Yes. Sugar bugs those can be trouble
if you don't brush them away from your teeth. And
I think that's a really important lesson that BEV the
beaver is gonna have to start doing if he wants
to keep building his beaver dam. As he woke up
a few days later Friday morning, oh boy, waye my cue.

(05:56):
That feels such better now what you go gout that
the tree? BV was so happy he raced on over
to go cut down that tree with the branches he
needed to finish his beaver dam. And wow, is it
a beautiful beaver dam. He was so happy to have
finished his project and for his tooth to be feeling

(06:18):
a whole lot better now the end. Great job, you
listened all the way to the end, and you know
what tum it is. It's time for kid shout out.

(06:38):
I want to say hey to Lily and Lena from Queens,
New York, Lottie from Columbia, South Carolina, Jack, Charlian Liz
from Denver, Colorado, Quentin from Ohio, Pursuits from Saint Louis, Missouri,
