Hey, friends, welcome back to Kids Short Stories. So this

sure that right now you smash the follow button so

(00:26):
you don't miss out on any of our awesome adventures. Well, friends,
are you guys ready for today's story? Me too. Let's go.
Aila and Logan. We're floating long in the water on
the shore because today they were having an ocean adventure. Yes,

(00:50):
they were at the beach today, which is such a
fun place to be. These Australian beaches were so beautiful
with clear water that they could see all the fish
swimming by. Whoa Logan. Did you see that? One said Aila.
She was wearing goggles and putting her face under the

(01:11):
water to look at all the little fish underneath. There
were so many, all different kinds of sizes and colors.
This was one of her favorite things to do at
the beach. Yeah, I saw that, one said Logan, look
at this crab over here. They just loved all the
wildlife that was around the ocean and on the shoreline.

(01:34):
They had already been there for several hours and it
was getting close to lunchtime. Ila, Logan, your food is ready.
Come in for lunch, shouted their parents. I'll race you back,
said Logan as he zoomed out of the water and
running up the beach. Ilah was right behind him. They

(01:56):
zoomed up the beach and slid in the sand as
they arrived where their delicious lunch was waiting for them.
They started by drinking a ton of water because all
that hot fun in the sun made them very thirsty.
Oh that water tastes so good, said Ayla, as she

(02:17):
was barely breathing because she was drinking that water so quickly. Logan,
take a breath, Logan, Oh, yeah, the water is so good.
I forgot how thirsty I was. I just had to
drink the whole Whoops, I drank the whole thing, said
Logan as his eyes got really big and he realized

(02:38):
that he drank the entire water bottle. Oh that's okay,
said their parents. We have more water. Don't forget to
eat your lunch. Ala and Logan began to gobble down
their lunch. It felt good to sit underneath that umbrella
to get a little bit of shade on the beach
because they had been out in the sun for a
long time, so it felt good to cool off a

(03:00):
little bit, fill up their tummies. And wait a second,
what is that over there? Shouted Logan as he was
pointing towards the water. What is it, said Ailah. I
call me crazy, but I think that's a koala trying
to go into the ocean. Hey, don't do that, shouted
Logan as he got up and ran towards the ocean.

(03:23):
Ila jumped up quickly behind him and started running. Hey, hey,
little Kuala, you what are you doing, said Logan as
he finally made it to that koala, who indeed was
trying to get into the ocean. Oh, I'm trying to
get these special flowers I need because I'm I'm not

(03:45):
feeling good and I heard that there's some flowers in
an island out there that will help me feel better,
said the little kuala. Oh, come here, said Ailah as
she picked up the sick koala and gave him a hug.
It's not safe for you to go in the ocean.
You could run into some bigger trouble other than just

(04:05):
being sick. Maybe we can help, said Logan. What island
and what flowers is it that you need? Well, the
magic troll, it said, Hawaii and pink flowers, that's what
I need. You're trying to get to Hawaii, shouted Ailah,
that is really far away. You're not gonna make it

(04:29):
there by swimming. Oh no, what am I going to do? Island?
Logan looked at each other. They knew what they had
to do. Wait a second, the sailboat. What if we
took the sailboat, that would be a lot faster to
get to Hawaii, said Aila. The sailboat Hawaii is a

(04:51):
really far away that'll take days to get there, said Logan.
I know, but we can't let this Koala. Uh just
they sick like this. You've got to help her, said Aila.
Isla and Logan carried that sick Koala back to where
their parents were and explain the situation. And that's why

(05:11):
we we really need to get the sailboat so we
can help this Koala, said Logan. Their parents thought for
a second and said, hmm, well you are right, that
Koala does look really sick, and it fits those pink
flowers in Hawaii that she needs. Then let's prepare the sales. Yes,

(05:32):
shouted Aila, Isla Logan, their parents, and their new Koala
friend named Ossi, gathered up all the things that were
on the beach headed back to the car because they
had to drive to where their sailboat was parked in
a harbor nearby. As they were driving, Aila asked Ossi

(05:53):
how it got sick in the first place. Well, it
was one of those big forest fires that all that
smoke got stuck in my lungs, said Ossi. And there
was nowhere I could go or run to escape the smoke,
said Ossi. There was a kind forest troll that he

(06:17):
saved me from the fire. A forest troll. Those are real,
shouted Logan. O. Yes, yes, they're very afraid of people,
and so that's why you've probably never seen them before.
But he told me that there's these magical pink flowers

(06:37):
in Hawaii that should be able to heal me and
make all the smoke inside of me go away. Well, Aussie,
we are going to do whatever it takes to get you.
Those pink flowers don't you worry, said Aila. We are
critter protectors, which means critters of all shapes and sizes.

(06:59):
That is our job to protect you. So since you
need our help, here we are. And oh look, there's
our sailboat. As she pointed out the window, they could
all see their beautiful, big tall sailboat waiting to be
taken on the ocean on an adventure to save Aussi

(07:20):
with some magical Hawaiian flowers. All right, kids, let's grab
our gear and load up on the sailboat. Next stop, Hawaii,
shouted their parents, and it was then that Aila Logan
and their family loaded up the sailboat with their new
sik Koala friend Aussi as they began their adventure to Hawaii.

(07:43):
Do you really think they're gonna be able to take
their sailboat all the way to Hawaii? That is gonna
be a pretty long trip. And I'm pretty sure this
trip is not going to go as they planned. Well,
we're gonna have to wait and see what happens on
the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job, you

(08:10):
listened all the way to the end, and you know
what time it is. It' stime for kid shout out.
I want to say hey, Tim Matthew from Australia, Alex
and Kai from Maryland, Eric and Leo from Nova Scotia,
Liza from Raleigh, North Carolina, Carlin and Mabel from Victoria, BC,
Barbara from Ecuador, Quentin from North Carolina, Jackson from British

(08:32):
Columbia and Jimmy from New Brunswick. I'm so glad that
you're all in the Kit Short Stories family and Don
the spy team. We could not stop Doctor Stinky Breath
and his crew without you, my friends. Will you have
a souper two per day and I will see you
on our next adventure. Bye,
