Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid
Short Stories. Guess what did you know that we do
stories every single day here. Yeah, we have a lot
of fun. So you should smash that foule button so
you don't miss out on any of our awesome stories
that are awesome in the car and maybe getting ready
for bed, or just during quiet time during the day.

(00:25):
You know, these imaginative stories can send you on an
awesome adventure in your mind whenever you want. Well, friends,
are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go.
It was a beautiful day outside as Kevin the Dragon

(00:45):
was walking home from his day at school. Yeah, dragons
go to school too, and Kevin was no different. He
had just learned how to read a really hard book.
Have you ever tried to read a really hard book book?
For Yeah, that could be really hard, but pretty fun
once you figure it out. And Kevin had been working

(01:08):
on this one book for a long time and finally
had figured it all out. Oh, that was such a
good day at school, Kevin said, I'm so glad I
finally figured out that book. But youch my one tooth
really hurts. I hope there isn't a problem with it.
You see, even though he had a really great day

(01:29):
at school, there was this one tooth in his mouth.
It was hurting really badly, and it was almost even
hard to think about anything else other than that painful tooth.
Has that ever happened to you where maybe your tooth
or maybe something just hurts really bad and it's hard

(01:49):
to even focus or think about anything else except that
very itchy mosquito bite or that very sore tooth. Yeah,
oh that can be hot. And Kevin the Dragon, it
was hard for him to think of much of else
besides that sore tooth. But you gotta say it's it's
pretty impressive that he was still able to read that

(02:11):
really hard book even with that very sore tooth. As
he finally got home, his family welcomed him and asked
how his day at school went. Yeah, it was a
good day. I it was an okay today. I guess,
I don't know. I did finish reading that one book
you did. That's that's fantastic, they said, Yeah, it was okay,

(02:33):
but I'm gonna head up to my room. Oh okay, Kevin, Well,
we that's that's great news. But uh, okay, bye Kevin.
Just kept walking to his room because his tooth was
hurting so badly. His family was all a little confused
as to why he didn't want to celebrate with them
about him finishing that really hard book. They knew that

(02:56):
something must be going on, but they were gonna give
Kevin a little bit more space because maybe he just
needed a couple of minutes to collect his thoughts. As
Kevin went to his bedroom, he closed the door and
lay down in his bed. Uh, it's like getting worse
and worse and wit a second. He put his tongue
on that one tooth.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's moving.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Why is my tooth moving? He was getting very worried.
This has never happened to him before. He had never
had a sore tooth that started to wiggle when he
pushed on it with his tongue. Has that ever happened
to you? Oh boy, Kevin the Dragon was very scared.

(03:42):
Oh no, maybe I broke my tooth forever, or maybe
all of them. Oh maybe they're all gonna get broken.
And oh no, I gotta go look in the mirror.
He raced over to the bathroom to look at the
mirror inside of his mouth. Uh, oh no, h it
does look twisted. Ah. As he opened his big mouth

(04:06):
and looked in the mirror, he could see that the
tooth didn't look normal. It was a little crooked, and
it was wiggling a lot. He put its claws up
to his tooth to try and straighten the tooth, and
all of a sudden, it popped right out into his fingers.
Kevin the Dragon started panicking, Who, no, for all of

(04:27):
my teeth, A's gonna fall out? Ah ah, what I knew,
but I knew. He did not know what to do.
And hold on a second, do you know what's going on?
I think it's a lot less scary than Kevin the
Dragon is. Actually, the predicament that he's in is not
as scary as he thinks. You know, have you ever

(04:50):
lost a tooth before? Maybe? Well, it sounds like this
is Kevin's first tooth that he's ever lost, And I
think he's about to learn and that it's not quite
as scary as he's feeling right now. His family came
rushing up the stairs to his bedroom. Kevin, are you okay?

(05:11):
What's wrong? They shouted? Huh uh nothing, nothing, nothing at all.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
He tried to close his mouth to hide the hole.
That was now in between his teeth from that missing tooth. Kevin,
is is everything okay? They asked? H Yes, yes, Why
are you talking like that? You're talking with your mouth closed?
Or no, that's just how I normally. This is how
I always talk. I know what it's talking about and

(05:41):
what's in your hand? Hid, here's an accident. My tooth
just fell out, and are all of my teeth gonna
fall out? Is my life over? He started to cry.
He was very upset. His family came all around him
and gave him a big hug. Oh, Kevin, it is

(06:04):
gonna be okay. Guess what do you know what that means?
It means you're becoming a bigger and bigger dragon with
that tooth coming out.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
What do you mean it's making me bigger? I don't
feel any bigger. Oh well maybe you don't feel bigger.
But guess what that is what we call a baby
dragon tooth, and underneath is a grown up dragon tooth.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Like a grown up tooth is a big deal. Wait,
what do you mean you mean my life isn't over?
Said Kevin. Oh, why definitely not. Your life is only
just beginning, and this is an important step in becoming
a grown up dragon. One day, all of those little
baby teeth are gonna fall out, all of my teeth.

(06:56):
They're gonna fall out. Oh yes, yes, yes, but don't worry.
They will all grow back. It'll happen one at a time,
not all at once. But it is an important step
towards becoming a grown up dragon. Okay, so it's not
as scary as as I thought it was. Oh no,

(07:17):
it's exciting. We should celebrate. Not only should we celebrate
your amazing day at school of reading that really hard book,
we should also celebrate your very first tooth that came out. Okay,
I like celebrations. That sounds like a great idea, said Kevin.

(07:37):
His family would go on to go out to a
special place to eat and celebrate Kevin's very big, exciting day.
It's kind of funny how sometimes things can be very
scary when they're new, Like, holy smokes, this must be
the worst thing ever in the entire world, because it's
never happened to me before. But actually, like we saw

(07:58):
with Kevin that the first time that he lost his
tooth was an exciting thing because it was just the
beginning towards him becoming a grown up dragon, and so
maybe you'll have something new that happens this week. Maybe
you'll lose your tooth for the first time, or maybe
you'll try a new food, or maybe you'll read a

(08:19):
really hard book for the first time. Whatever it is,
I'm pretty sure that the next time Kevin does something
for the first time, it'll be a little less scary.
Even though this is the end of our story, it's
only just the beginning of Kevin the Dragons great adventures
that lie ahead the end. Great job, you listened all

(08:45):
the way to the end, and you know what time
it is. It's time for kurd shout out. I want
to say hey to Mason from Hong Kong, Cannonon but
