Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid
Short Stories. I was just reading over the reviews that
you leave for me on Apple Podcasts, and this one
is really cool from Kate Alivit says, for over a year,
my four year old has listened to these stories as
he goes to sleep. You request them every night. Wow,
thank you so much for that five star review. I

(00:24):
love reading through all of those that you guys send
me every day. Well, friends, are you ready for part
two of this Koala adventure? Me too, Let's go. It
had been several days since Aila, Logan, their parents, and

(00:48):
their new Kohala friend, Aussie, had left shore and they
were about halfway there to Hawaii. They were starting to
get a little bit more worried about Aussie the sick
because she was not looking good. Isila come over here,
look at AUSSI said Logan. As Ela raced over, she

(01:10):
could tell that Aussie was getting even more sick. You've
got to find a way to get all that smoke
out of her lungs. It's like it's stuck in there.
How is it only that a flower can help her?
Said Aila. I don't know. It's that forest troll. That said,
this is the only way, said Logan. All right, you two,

(01:31):
there's a storm up ahead. I need you to come
down below in the in the boat, said their parents,
and bring Aussie with you. Looks like this is going
to be a rough one a storm, said Ala. Not
even a few minutes later, as Island Logan were gathering
all of their things to bring down below. Inside of

(01:52):
this aailboat boom, crash. The sound of the thunderstorm echoed
across the water as the big waves brought their sailboat
on a very big ride. Whoa, whoa, that was a
big one, said Logan. What do you think about thunderstorms?

(02:15):
Are they? Can they be a little scary sometimes? Yeah,
me too, thunderstorms. I kind of like to look at
them from afar. But if they get really loud and booming,
and the rain comes pouring down and wind, it can
make me a little nervous sometimes. How does it make
you feel? Well? Can you imagine if if you were

(02:36):
like Ila and Logan on a sailboat in the middle
of the ocean with a big storm. WHOA, that does
sound pretty scary. Well. As Ala and Logan held on
to their little Koala Ossi, who was not feeling good.
Their boat rowed through the waves of this big storm,

(02:58):
making them go a lot fatter than they had been
going before. But it's a good thing. Their parents were
expert captains of this sailboat. They knew exactly how to
navigate through the wind in the big waves. Even though
they knew what they're doing, it was still pretty scary
for Ila and Logan. What's gonna happen? Shouted Ailah, Oh

(03:23):
are we gonna sink? Ila was holding on tightly to
one of the legs of their table and their little kitchenette.
They had all huddled underneath the table as their parents
were working hard to ride through this storm. Hey, Aussie,
how are you doing? You doing okay? Asked Logan to
the little sick Koala. Aussie could no longer talk. That's

(03:49):
how sick she was getting. We're running out of time.
We need to get Hawaii like no, shouted Logan. Over
the next several hours, as their sailboat zoomed through the
waves and crashed through the wind, finally it came to
a stop. Ala and Logan crawled out from underneath their

(04:12):
table that they were hiding under, and their parents came
running down. Hila Logan, are you too okay? Is everyone safe?
They said, yeah, we're okay, but but Aussie is still
not doing well. I think she's getting worse, said Aila. Well,
I have good news for you. Come outside and take

(04:34):
a look. Ala and Logan followed their parents up the
stairs to the deck of the sailboat. And they couldn't
believe it is that Hawaii, shouted Logan. How did we
get here so fast? Well, that storm, even though it
was big and scary, it moved us along very fast

(04:55):
and directly right to where we needed to go, said
one of their parents. Parents perfect, said Ailah Logan. What
was the color of flower that we needed to find
for Ossie? I'm pretty sure it was pink, right, said Logan. Yeah,
that's it, said Isla. We gotta get to shore and

(05:17):
find a pink flower now. Ala and Logan jumped into
a small boat on the side of their sailboat that
took them to the shore. After paddling all the way
to the beach, they jumped out of their little boat
and started looking around the rainforest. Hawaii is a beautiful place,
full of so many flowers and so many trees and plants. Wow,

(05:43):
it's a tropical paradise, but they really needed to focus
and find a pink flower. There's so many flowers over here,
but none of them are pink. Shouted Ailah. Yeah, I
just see a bunch of yellow and red ones. And
wait a second, Logan saw something up the hill there. Look,

(06:06):
I see a pink one right up there. Come on.
Isla and Logan started to climb up some ivy and
branches and trees to get to a higher part of
the hill. Are you good at climbing trees? Oh? Climbing
trees can be really fun, and especially when you're on
an amazing an adventure like Isla and Logan are. Right

(06:28):
now there. I made it here, Isla, grab my hand.
Logan reached down and grabbed onto Isla's hand and bowled
her up the rest of the way there. Okay, all right,
we just need that one pink flower up there. Islah
stretched out her arm and reached onto that pink flower
and popped it off the branch. Okay, we gotta get

(06:51):
back to the ship as fast as we can. Come on,
the two of them raced down the hill back to
their little boat and paddled to the sailboat where their
parents were waiting. With Ossy. Ossy, this little sick Koala
was running out of time. They needed to get that
pink flower to her. Fast. Here here it is, shouted Logan.

(07:14):
As they got back to the sailboat and reached up,
their parents pulled them onto the sailboat. They brought the
pink flower over to Aussy, the little sick koala. What
are we supposed to do now? Is is it supposed
to eat the flower? Are we supposed to rub it
on its face? Or what do we do? Said Logan.
I think it's supposed to smell it? Here, Give it

(07:34):
to me, said Ailah. She held the pink flower up
to the little Koala. He took a sniff. Ah earls
Hatten Hatten bul Orsalle. Instantly, Aussi the Koala's breath came

(07:57):
back from the magical power of that pink flower. Ayla
and Logan hugged each other, and their family was so
happy to have saved Aussy, this little sick Koala. Hardle
Ourlan Harale asked Ossy, well, we had quite the adventure
to get here, said Ala. We're so glad to have

(08:20):
found that pink flower to save You couldn't have imagined
if something bad had happened to You are a funk
very much and we best get this sailboat turned back
around so we can head back to home, said Logan
as they turned the sailboat back around and headed back
towards home. This family was so happy to no longer

(08:43):
have a sick Koala in their sailboat, but now a
very happy and healthy assy the end. Great job, you
listened all the way to the end. You know what
tim it is, It's time for kid SHOUTO. So I

(09:04):
want to say to Maverick in Moxie from Pennsylvania, Smoothly
from Australia, Ana, Lisa and Alexander from California, Sonia and
Alex from Sydney, Australia, Innaia from India, and Ezra from Gainesville, Florida.
I'm so glad that you're all on the Kits Schort
Stories family and the Spy team. We could not stop
Doctor Stinky Breath and his crew without you, my friends.

(09:28):
Well you have a super duper day and I will
see you on our next adventure. Bye.
