Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid
Short Stories. Do you know what makes these stories ten
times more awesome? Yes, sharing with a friend. So right now,
think of two friends that you can have your parents
text this episode two and then you can listen to
it together. And yes, stories are way more awesome when
we listen to them together. Well, friends, are you ready

(00:25):
to listen to another adventure about doctor Stinky Breath trying
to do something stinky? Today's idea comes from Cayden. Let's go.
It was a beautiful day outside as the school bell

(00:46):
rang and all the kids ran out the front door
of the school. They were very excited for school to
be done so that they could go play. Hey, guys,
want to come back to my house in Belle de Fort,
said Cayden to his friends. Yeah. And on the way there,
I think there's a new snack shop that just opened
up right next to the neighborhood. We should go check

(01:08):
it out, said one of his friends. That sounds delicious. Yes,
snack shop and then Fort building. Let's go. As Cayden
and his friends rode their bikes from school. Thankfully they
lived very close to their school, Their neighborhood was just
across the street, but recently there was a new snack

(01:28):
shop that had just opened outside the back of a
big truck. It's kind of like a food truck, but
it was a snack truck. As Cayden and his friends
walked up to that big purple snack truck, they were
very surprised by the options on the menu. Wow, guys,
it says these things are the healthiest and most delicious
next in the entire world, said Cayden. There's no way

(01:51):
that it's both healthy and delicious at the same time,
said one of his friends. We gotta try it for ourselves.
Excuse me there. Uh we're ready to order, shouted one
of the friends. The worker inside the truck leaned out
the window and said.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Hello, everybody. Uh, yes, just form a single file line
and tell me what you need. Cayden felt like he
recognized that voice, but this was the first time he
had ever been to this giant snack truck before. Oh well,
maybe it's nothing, but maybe it's something strange. Not sure.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I think we'll all try whatever your most popular snack is.
We'll start with that one, said Kayden.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Oh yeah, that would be this healthy snack ball four
for four dollars. Here you go.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
As the friends handed the four dollars, they were given
each one healthy snackball. What in the world is that snackball?
Kind of looks strange, but I guess I'll give it
a try, said one of Cayden's friends. Kayden was still
a little not sure because he really thought he recognized
that voice from somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

(03:04):
Now that we got our snacks, let's go build that fort, Cayden.
Come on. His friends raced off, and Cayden followed closely behind.
The rest of the afternoon they spent building out this
most amazing fort in Caden's backyard. Hmm hmm. That snack
ball was delicious, said one of his friends. I know

(03:27):
that was probably if that's really healthy, that was definitely
like the most delicious, healthy thing I've ever eaten in
my entire life, said another friend. Ah, I forgot to
eat mine, said Cayden. You what, Yeah, I think I
got distracted and then I might have left that snack
ball back at the truck. It's probably gone by now.

(03:48):
Oh it's all right, Kaiden. We'll get one on the
way home from school. Tomorrow. But anyway, it's almost dinner,
so I think we all got to start heading home
and we'll see you tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Cayden.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, see you later, guys, see tomorrow, Cayden waved as
his friends started to leave and walk back to their houses.
They all lived in the same neighborhood, which was pretty
awesome because they got to see each other all the
time at school and even outside of school. Meanwhile, back
at that Purple snack truck, I think Cayden's suspicions were correct.

(04:20):
Hey bus, Yeah, the plans working perfectly. Sh I need update?
How as a snack balls selling? Did many people buys
them and likes them? Did we trick them? Basically? Is
the plan working Purple Ninjas?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Sh Yes? Plus it we sold out of all the
snack balls. People love them. But I'm pretty sure they're
going to tell all their friends about our you know,
healthy snack balls.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Sh Yes, the junk food monster slime balls that we
have tricked them into thinkings say healthy snackball. He'll work perfectly.
It will first make them sick and then we'll be
able to control their minds after they eat a few

(05:11):
more of the snackballs. Keep it up Purple Ninjas and
keep me updated. As Doctor Stinky Breath looked out from
the window of the Stinky Blimp Lab down at his
purple snack truck, he started to believe that this might
actually be the plan that helps him take over the world.

(05:33):
As Katain was doing the dishes after dinner, his mom
walked over and said, Hey, Kayden, I just got off
the phone with your friend's moms and they're all very
sick all of a sudden. Are you feeling sick at all?
All three of them said Kayden. No, I'm feeling totally fine.
I don't feel sick at all. Well, I don't think

(05:55):
they're going to be at school tomorrow, and we should
probably keep a close eye on you. Make sure you
don't get a fever, said his mom. You should go
on and get ready for bed. As Kayden walked to
his room, he then remembered that snack truck from before,
and that is when it all made sense. Holy smokes,

(06:15):
that guy selling the sex I know exactly what his
voice was. Caden raced up to his room to grab
a walkie talkie. Sh HQ HQ, this is Cayden, It's
an emergency over sh Cayden, what seems to be the problem?
Sh Are there reports of a whole bunch of people

(06:36):
getting sick yesterday, like especially in my area or around
by the school. Sh Strange that you ask, but yes,
we have heard of many people getting sick recently. Are
you feeling okay, Cayden? Sh yeah, yeah, I'm fine. It's
my friends though. We stopped at this snack truck that

(06:57):
said it was like a healthy snack, but I don't know.
It just didn't feel right, and so I didn't eat
my snack ball, but all my other friends did and
now they're all sick. Sh Oh no, it sounds like
that snack truck must have had a bad recipe on
accident sh No, no, no, I don't think it was
an accident. I think it was on purpose. The voice

(07:20):
of the man behind inside of the truck that was
giving the snack balls, he sounded just like a purple Ninja.
I'll spy on the truck tomorrow and update you with
whatever I uncover. Sh Stay safe, Cayden, good luck. Sh
I know it was that snack truck. I've gotta save

(07:40):
my friends. Oh no, what in the world is gonna
happen with Kayden, his friends and all the other people
that are getting sick. Is it really connected to that
snack truck. I'm not sure what's gonna happen, but it
sounds like Kayden has entered into a new spy adventure.

(08:00):
We'll have to wait and see what happens on the
next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job, you listened
all the way to the end, and you know what
time it is. It's time for good shout out. So
I want to say to Grayson and Easton from California. Hey, guys,

(08:21):
Harper from Canada, Quinn from Washington, Alexandra from Romania, Leanne
from Massachusetts, Connor, MICHAELA and Scott from Sydney, Australia. I'm
so glad that you're all on the Kitschortsories family and
on the spy team. We could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath
and his crew without you, my friends. Well, you have

(08:43):
a super duper day and I will see you on
our next adventure. Bye.
