Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Short Stories. Right now I need you to smash the
follow buttons so you don't miss out on any of
our awesome story wits. Well, today we are going on
part two of our adventure where Jasper has just found
a unicorn in Quicksand how in the world did the

(00:26):
Quicksand get there? And what are the Purple Ninjas doing?
I don't know. Well, are you ready for today's chapter
two adventure? May too, Let's go. As Jasper was hiding
behind some bushes. He didn't want the Purple Ninjas to

(00:46):
know that he was there too. All right, guys, ay, yes, yeah,
it looks like there is a real yonda corner there. Hooray.
Oh right, it's not a squirrel the first unicorn. The
boss is gonna be so happy. Yes see, as you
see it. If we'ren't able to steal the magic out

(01:08):
of all of the unicorns, then it will make Doctor
Sticky Breath and Professor Sticky Fingers even more powerful. Ha.
This was such a great trap here. I'm so glad
that Professor Sticky Fingers was able to figure out how
to make Quicksand in the middle of nowhere. That's how
they didn't Professor sticky fingers. He's always up to making

(01:32):
stuff sticky, you know, and quicksand oh that makes so
much sense. As Jasper was listening and hearing all these
things the Purple Ninjas were saying, he was slowly pulling
out some of his spy gear. You see, people on
the spy team, we always gotta keep our gear with
us just in case we need it. Because remember, Jasper

(01:55):
was not on a mission. He was out having a
fun day when all of a sudden he found that
stuck unicorn harmony. And now it's up to Jasper to
save the day. Jasper picked up his walkie talkie and
called into his biology squad. His biology squad, Are you there,
This is Jasper over. Sh Hey, Jasper, Yeah, this is Jaden.

(02:18):
I can tell you're whispering. Is everything okay? No, it's
not okay. Uh, the Purple Ninjas just showed up. Are
you guys sending some kind of backup or something? Sh Well,
we're not able to send any people of our team
out there, but we're sending you a special vacuum that's
gonna be able to suck out the unicorn from the
quicksand it's on its way on a drone. It should

(02:39):
be there any minute. Just hang tight. Sh Jasper put
his walkie talkie away and knew that he had to
act fast or else the Purple Ninjas were gonna get
away with Harmony. All right, little Unicorn, come over here?
Aren't won't help you again? On stocked? Just I'm over here,
r Graham onto this here. The Purple Ninjas were holding

(03:00):
out something for Harmony to grab onto so that they
could take her away. Well, Jasper needed to stop them. Hey,
Purple Ninjas, freeze what Who's hey? Where did you come from?
Said one of the Purple Ninjas. This is my friend.
You have to leave her alone, go away or else

(03:24):
or else? What it's just you in the middle of nowhere?
What are you gonna do to us? Ninjas? Well I
could do this, and just like that, Jasper shot one
of his net shooters towards the Purple Ninjas. Ah and
Goddess hull up. The networked perfectly. It had captured the

(03:49):
Purple Ninjas, and they even splashed some of that sticky
quicksand all over themselves, so they were rolling on the
ground in a sticky net mess. Ah. How are we
gonna get out of here this? Hey, get off me
your funne's on my face. Ooh story those accidents. Ah,

(04:09):
what are we gonna do? The Purple Ninjas had turned
into a squibbly, squabbly mess. That was the sound of
the drone delivering the vacuum from Spiology Squad. Wow that
was fast, said Jasper as he picked up this giant vacuum.

(04:31):
He wasn't exactly sure how to use it, but he
dropped the hose over Harmony's body. We're gonna do it that.
We're not gonna stuck me under our vacuum. Are you?
Are you Krauser, shouted Harmony. I know this looks ridiculous,
but this is what s Biology Squad sent me. I
think it's the only way right now to get you

(04:52):
out of the Quicksand before the Purple Ninja sent backup,
just close your eyes and hang on. As Jasper turned
on this very noisy vacuum, it sucked onto the side
of Harmony the unicorn, and pulled her right out of

(05:13):
the quicksand it worked.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Solved hurls, stunners, hurdles.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I guess this is a special vacuum for removing unicorns.
Out of quicksand I mean, like, that's what it says
on the side here, Jasper was pointing to a label
on the side of the vacuum and that's what it said,
Special vacuum for removing unicorns out of quicksand wow, sprout,
sprout have something forever fung ha. Yes, but we really

(05:43):
got to get out of here before backup comes for
these Purple Ninjas. Let's go. Jasper and his new friend
Harmony the Unicorn started running for the hills. They had
to get out of their fast fun.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
So much for subtle Jasper, couldn't it dollar without floor?

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh you're welcome. I'm so glad I was able to
help those Purple Ninjas make me real sneaky sometimes. But
I guess you should probably let all your unicorn friends
to stay away from the area and keep an eye
out for quicksand because I think they're after all of you.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Lah, absolutely, hour sort that are the little currents nor
to look off for that little cryptsund There's no where
we're gonna get stuck on there ever. Hold meanwhile, up
at doctor Stinky Breath's blimp lab, all right, I must
check in with the Purple Ninjas hand me is at
walky talkie.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Here come boss perfect. Sh All right, Purple Ninjas, I
need update. Did you catch that Unicordon? Deck got stuck
in the quicksand s now now and we need help
send back up. We got caught in the big sticky
that you what? And but where's the ulicorn? Oh? Well,

(07:02):
not unicorn, it's gone, But who cares about that? We're
stuck in the sticky mess. Help pass? What are you
talking about? You'll not only let them get the way,
but you yourselves got stuck. Ah. How in the world
do I get stuck with purple Ninjas every time? Oh,

(07:22):
Professor sticky fingers, I think we might need a new plan. Wow,
great job, Jasper. You saved the day, not only saving
this unicorn, but you also stop doctor Stinky Breath from
stealing all their magical powers. Who what a brave and
sticky job you've done the end. Great job you listened

(07:51):
all the way to the end. And you know what
time it is. It's time for kude shout out. I
want to say hey to Drew an Ant from Louisiana,
