Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit
Short Stories. You know what today is, It's soddery, which
means it's definitely time to listen to Kids Animal Stories.
We are doing five episodes every week for Kids Animal Stories,
so make sure that you subscribe to that our other
podcast to catch up on all of those amazing adventures. Well,

(00:25):
are you ready for part two of Hayden, Lee and
Neil's lost at sea crazy adventure? Holy smokes, are they
gonna make it back to the island. Let's find out.

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

Speaker 1 (00:42):
As Hayden, Lee and Neil all looked at each other,
they realized that they were in quite a mess. Their
boat had run out of batteries. Remember it's a solar
powered battery charging boat, but the solar panels are back
at the beach out of time because they forgot to
turn off the boat. While Neil jumped in to rescue

(01:05):
the binoculars that had fallen into the water, and then
the giant seamunstern. There's so much going on. Wait a second,
what are they going to do? Neil? Where did you
see it swimming from? Ask Lee? It was I don't
know exactly, it's different like when you're underwater and kind
of turned around. I think it was coming from that way,

(01:27):
Neil was, pointing towards the back of the boat. All
six eyeballs were glued to the water, checking to see
if that giant creature would resurface. What do you think
it was? Did you get a better look at it underwater,
asked Hayden. Kind of, but yeah, it kind of looked
like either a shark or a whale or a giantormous dolphin.

(01:48):
I'm not sure, but it was swimming towards me, and
then I swam for my life and I got out
of there as fast as I could. Bump. All of
a sudden, the boat was bumped. WHOA did you feel that,
said Hayden. Of course we did, hold on, shouted Neil.
All three boys were holding on for their lives under

(02:09):
his boat, when all of a sudden, the creature poked
his head out.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Of the water.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
He's got a tag, said Lee.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Whoa, whoa whoa.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Everybody, calm down, Calm down, Holy barnucles, can you please
stop the screaming?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay, okay, but please don't need us. What in the world,
are you, shouted Hayden, as his hands were both covering
both of his eyes and he was just peeking through
in between the fingers. You know how to do that.
If you cover up your eyes and you can peek
through the fingers, you can see just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
My name's Hornold and I'm a Norwo on a nice
calm summer vacation. But you three are very noisy.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Hayden, Lee and Neil all had very large eyeballs. Now.
They couldn't believe one that they were talking to something
from the ocean and a narwalal. They'd never seen one
of those before. Do you know what a narwal looks like.
It looks kind of like a big whale, but he
has a long it's kind of like a unicorn horn

(03:29):
on his forehead. He's kind of like the unicorn of
the sea. Oh, we're so sorry. You see, our family
got stuck on that island over there, and we're just
trying to find a way to get back like where
we're from, and our boat won't get us there. But
now our boat ran out of power and we can't

(03:51):
get back to the island. And we thought you were
trying to eat us, said lee. Oh that's fun. No,
I don't eat people, but I could give you a
ride back to the island if you want. Oh, are
you serious? That would be Oh, that would be so helpful,

(04:13):
said Neil. I could do you a bitter You see, well,
I do a lot of swimming around here, and I've
seen a lot of places with lots of people. I
could probably bring your boat there in no time. Holy smokes,
are you serious, shouted Hayden. Our parents are gonna freak hah,
They're gonna be so excited. Let's go. They tied a

(04:36):
rope around Arnold the narwhal's horn, and he started pulling
their boat back to shore. Their parents were waiting on
the beach and were very shocked to see what was
going on. Kids. Are you okay, shouted one of their parents.
Oh we're fine. This is Arnold. You see. We ran

(04:57):
out of power out there, but he's like our tow boat. Look.
Their parents waded out to the water to thank Arnold
for pulling the boat back in, and they were amazed
when they heard the new plan. Yeah, he said that
he's seen all kinds of other places nearby where he
could pull us to, and there's lots of people. That

(05:18):
means we're saved, shouted Neil. All right, kids, pack your bags.
Looks like we're going home today, shouted their parents. As
they ran up to their treehouse to pack all of
their most important things. They started to get a little sad.
Wait a second, but I kind of like living in

(05:40):
this treehouse. This has been so cool. Do you think
we could come back here, asked Lee. I thought the
same thing, said their mom. A. I bet we could
come back here whenever we want, because obviously nobody knows
about this island because we have yet to see anyone
come here. I bet we could leave our treehouse and

(06:01):
no one will even know it exists, and then we
can come back whenever we want for a vacation. But
we just have to make sure that we bring enough
batteries for our boat. Oh, we could have Arnold bring us,
said Hayden. They all laughed as the family grabbed all
their things and piled them onto the boat. There was
not much room. They had to almost sit on top

(06:24):
of each other. Arnold grabbed onto the rope with his horn.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
All right, everybody, everybody buckled up.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
We don't have buckles, said Neil.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Oh, well, just hold on tight.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Wow, then that is the end of our adventure. Hayden,
Lee and Neil not only found a way off of
the island, but I think they also made a new
friend in Arnold. Even though this is the end of
the island story, I think this is just the beginning
of this family's this great adventure the end. Great job,

(07:13):
you listened all the way to the end. And you
know what, Tevin is It's time for kid shout as.
I wanna say hey to Yusaf from Nova Scotia, Emmett
from Ontario, Luca from Colorado, Benjamin from California, Elliott from
New Zealand, Nikki from California, Davis from Ontario, Jasper from Montreal,

(07:35):
Helloa from Brazil, and Claire and you from Virginia. I'm
so glad that you're all in the Kitchen Stories family
and on our spy team because we could not stop
Doctor Stinkybreath and his crew without you. My friends. Well,

Animal Stories for today's amazing Animal Adventure, and I hope
