Hello Friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kids
short stories. Today's story comes to us from AVA. Hey, Ava,
she sent me an awesome idea for a story and
you can to just head over to kids short stories
dot com. Sent me your idea and maybe we'll turn
it into an awesome adventure. And right now I need
you to smash the follow button so you don't miss

(00:26):
out on any of our awesome stories. All right, are
you guys ready for an amazing dinosaur adventure? Me Too.
Let's go. It was a beautiful day. Ava and her
family were going on an adventure in the forest. They

(00:48):
love to go hiking on a trail in a forest
near their house, because that trail led them to a
really cool river full of amazing fossils. You wouldn't believe
all the amazing things that they have found at that river.
And today something amazing was about to happen. As Ava
jumped into the river, it was very shallow today. It

(01:12):
was only about at her ankles. As the water trickled
over all the rocks and threw her boots, she bent
down to look for fossils. Wow, AVA, come over here,
shouted her parents. Ava ran over, splashing through the river
as her parents picked out a really cool fossil from

(01:33):
the river. Look at this, this is a really old clamshell. Look,
they held up a rock that had a shell print
pressed into the rock from a very long time ago.
WHOA good find, said AVA. She went back to her
spot and started looking closer in the water when all

(01:53):
of a sudden she saw something that she'd never seen before.
She pulled it out of the water and wow, look
at this guy's it was very round, round, almost like
a chicken egg, but much bigger. As Ava held up
her new find, her parents couldn't believe it. Ava, I
think that's a real dinosaur egg fossil. That's amazing. Those

(02:17):
are super rare. Ava got really excited and couldn't wait
to bring it back to her lab. Yeah, you see,
back at home, AVA is a real scientist with a
laboratory where she can do all kinds of amazing experiments.
She couldn't wait to look at this dinosaur egg fossil
in the lab. They stayed there a few more hours

(02:39):
and found many more fossils, but none were as exciting
as AVA's dinosaur egg. They hiked back to the car
and drove home and Ava cradled that giant egg fossil
in her arms. She loved it so much. If you
could find any fossil, what kind of fossil would you

(03:00):
like to find? I think it'd be pretty cool to
find either a dinosaur egg, like ava, or maybe a footprint.
That would be really cool, like a perfect footprint in
a rock. Wow, that would be cool. As Ava got home,
she raced downstairs to her secret laboratory. Her laboratory had

(03:22):
all the latest gear, everything that she needed to any
kind of experiment. Ever, Whoa, that is a cool lab.
Wouldn't that be awesome to do any experiment that you
wanted to do? Oh, that would be so cool. That's
so cool to be a scientist. Ava carefully placed the
egg down on the table. You See, I've been wanting

(03:46):
and wishing my entire life to have a dinosaur egg.
Now I can finally test to see if I can
extract its DNA. She had a very special drill that
could drill into the fossil because she thought maybe if
she found a dinosaur egg fossil that deep down inside
she could find real dinosaur DNA. Do you know what

(04:07):
DNA is? Yeah, it's in all of our bodies and
creatures everywhere, and dinosaurs and the DNA are the instructions
of our body. It's how our body knows how to
grow and do the things it does is through this
tiny little thing that is way smaller for us to see.
It's called DNA and that has all the instructions. So

(04:30):
she thought that maybe, just maybe, if she could get
dinosaur DNA, do you think that she could maybe make
when grow into real life? Well, that was her hypothesis,
or her theory of what she hoped might happen. So
she got to work. As she carefully drilled down into

(04:51):
the egg fossil, she then took a light and looked
down inside and there was something in there that did
not look like rock. She used some forceps to reach
down that hole and carefully extract what she was looking at.
As she pulled it out of the fossil, her eyes
got really big. This is it, this is soft tissue DNA.

(05:15):
This will totally do it. She had everything already set up.
She carefully put it inside of an empty egg with
yolk inside. The yoke would act as the food and maybe,
just maybe, smite actually work. She carefully placed the egg
inside of an incubator and now all she could do
is wait. After many days, in many weeks, of her

(05:37):
coming down to the secret lab to check on her egg,
today she woke up and I gotta go check my egg.
She raced downstairs after what seemed like the thousandth time
of checking with no change. But this time, as she
entered the lab and turned the lights on, she saw

(05:58):
something she couldn't believe. The egg was starting to wiggle.
It's wiggling, it's moving. It's like it's about to hatch.
Mom she shouted for her parents to run downstairs and
take a look, as she heard them running down the stairs,
thinking that something was wrong. Ava, Ava, what's wrong? They shouted,

(06:22):
nothing is wrong. Look at this. As all three of
them leaned down looking at the incubator, as the light
shined on the egg, they could see it wiggle and
wiggle and start to crack. Whatever is inside is about
to come out. Holy Smokes, Ava has actually done it.

(06:45):
I don't know how. I don't think anyone has ever
done this before, but we're gonna have to wait and
see what happens on the next episode to see what
is about to hatch out of this egg. Great Job,
you listened all the way to the end and you

(07:05):
know what time it is. It's time for kid shout out.
I want to say hey to Hayden and chloe from Toronto,
Mj for America, Beth and Maggie from Australia, Jeremy from
