Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Short Stories. Today's story we are going to talk about
one of the three pillars of being on the spy team.
You see, being a spy means that you have to
learn to do a lot of things, but three are
very important. And today we are going to be talking

(00:25):
about the pillar of patience. Do you know what it
means to be patient? Well, that is a very important
pillar of being on the spy team, and Hunter and
Read are about to learn how important it is. Are
you guys ready about an amazing adventure about a magical

(00:45):
seed that is needed to stop a very sticky creature. Yeah,
me too. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
All right, Professor, we need you to steal all the
scenes on this list. Oh boy, that sounds terrific. Well,
it's a long list, but I can definitely get it done.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh no, that was the voice not only of doctor Stinkybreath,
but another member of his team, Professor's sticky Fingers. Oh no,
Professor sticky Fingers. He's one of the most creative worst
thieves in the whole wide world. His sticky fingers allows
him to steal almost anything. What is on that list?

(01:42):
What is he going to steal. Well, let's listen and
see what Hunter and Reed are about to stumble into.
Hunter and Reed, we're playing in their backyard. They were,
you know, having lots of fun with their imagination. Do
you know what your imagination is? Yeah, it's that thing
inside of your brain that you can maybe close your

(02:04):
eyes and imagine something that might not be real but
feels very real inside your mind, Like, oh, maybe you're
inside of a castle and you're you're guarding it from
the evil trolls, and or or maybe you're an explorer
and you're sailing on a big ship. Well, an imagination

(02:26):
can be an amazing thing for a member of the
spy team. Hunter and Read both had amazing imaginations. Read
get down, We gotta get down. The volcano's about to erupt,
shouted Hunter. They were in their backyard playing volcano. Have
you ever played volcano before? Oh, that's a fun game. Yeah. Well,

(02:50):
when the volcano blows the grass and everything turns the
lava and you have to find a very creative way
to get back to your house. And Reid had built
an amazing obstacle course that would lead them over the
lava that was about to erupt. Three two one. There
it goes, shouted Red. Hunter and Reid couldn't believe this

(03:14):
ginormous volcano in their backyard that was erupting all this lava.
We gotta get out of here, go, go go. Hunter
and Reid started to navigate through their course on their backyard,
and then all of a sudden they heard a sound.
Wait time out, Hold on, we gotta pause our adventure,

(03:35):
said Hunter. That was our spy beeper. We gotta go.
Hunter and read pause their lava adventure and ran inside
to check their spy beeper. Whenever that spy beeper went off,
you just have to stop what you're doing. You gotta
check and see what the message is, because HQ could
have a serious emergency for us. As they ran upstairs,

(03:57):
they couldn't believe it. Wait, Hunter, where'd all my stuff go?
Reed was looking all over the place, and Hunter ran
to his or into and all of his spy gear
was gone, except the spy beeper, which was underneath their bed.
They clicked the message, and it said Hunter and Reed,

(04:18):
this is h Q. We have learned that Professor Sticky
Fingers is on some kind of mission to steal all
of our spy gear for doctor stinky breath. It is
up to you to save the day. We are sending
you a very important plant in the form of a
seed that you must follow the directions or else there's

(04:42):
nothing that's going to stop the professor from stealing all
of our gear. Good luck, Hunter and read what their
professors sticky fingers. He's real. I know I've never seen
him before, but I think he's real, said Hunter, because look,
all our spy gear is gone. Hunter and Reid couldn't

(05:05):
believe it. Their jetpack, their binoculars, their net shooter, everything
was gone. Well, Hunter and Reed went outside and there
it was a little drone that was flying and it
dropped a package for them. When all the jetpacks are missing,
they need to use drones to deliver the packages. All right,

(05:27):
let's open it up, said read. Hunter grabbed the box
and popped it open, and inside was a very large seed.
Looked like the seed was bigger than an acorn, maybe
about the size of a really big grape. All right,
let's read the directions. Hunter and Reid pulled out a

(05:47):
long piece of paper. WHOA, it has a lot of directions.
It says that we have to follow every step perfectly
or else it's not going to grow. Wait, what in
the world we trying to grow? Said Reid. Hunter found
another pamphlet in the box that described what was going on.
It said, this is a specially formulated bush that produces bubbleberries.

(06:13):
What is a bubbleberry? Said Reid. Hunter kept reading. He said, bubbleberries.
I guess uh looks like yeah, right here, They're specially
formulated to stop professor sticky fingers. Oh yeah, it says
these bubbles they get rid of his stickiness on his fingers,
and so it makes him drop everything that he's stealing,

(06:36):
and then he oh that he can't steal anymore, and
then great, then our spy gear will be safe. All right,
So we have to grow I guess some kind of
bubbleberry bush. Whoa whoa whoa. Reed was not happy about this.
I didn't join the spy team to grow bushes. I
want to go fight the band guys and go on

(06:57):
an adventure. Why would they give us this boring job? Ugh?
Reed was not impressed, but Hunter put the directions away
and he said, all right, we gotta get to work.
This is the mission that HQ gave us. You gotta
stick it out. Let's Gough. Okay, Hunter and Reed follow

(07:17):
the direction step by step. It said to first get
a large container and some very nice clean dirt. Ooh,
there's some nice soft dirt over there. They filled the
container with the dirt and planted the seed three inches deep.
Now this is the hard part, it says Hunter. Read
the next step. It says, this seed requires a lot

(07:39):
of regular watering for its first twenty four hours. It
must be watered every ten minutes, every ten minutes for
the next twenty four hours. But when are we ever
gonna sleep? This is impossible, said Reid. I know it
seems impossible, but us spies, we never give up, said Hunter.

(08:02):
Hunter and Reed started watering the first time and then
set a ten minute timer. You see, this was a
really important mission. The only way to stop Professor Sticky
Fingers was with a magical formulation of bubbles from the
bubble berries. Back at HQ, they were developing a new

(08:23):
way to shoot and launch bubbles, but they needed the
bubble formula from the bubble berry bush. Our Hunter and
Reed going to be able to grow this bush in
time before Professor Sticky Fingers steals all of our spy gear.
I don't know We're gonna have to wait and see

(08:43):
what happens on the next episode the end. Great job,
you listened all the way to the end, and you
know what time it is. It's I'm for kid shout out.
I want to say hey to Sophie from Connecticut, aj

(09:06):
and Ellie from Connecticut, McKinley and Colton from Madison, Wisconsin,
Lillian Fione from Florida, Sequoya from Colorado, Marshall from Ontario,
and Eddie from Minnesota. I'm so glad that you're all
in the Kids Short Story's family and on our spy team.
We could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath and Professor Sticky Fingers
without you, my friends. Well you have a super duper

(09:28):
day and I will see you on our next adventure. Bye.
