Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Short Stories. Would you like to have the best birthday ever? Well,
I have put together a box for you that's called
the Best Birthday Ever, where you and your friends can
go on a real mission to Volcano Island to retrieve
a stolen jetpack and other items that doctors think you

(00:24):
about the in the Burble ninjas have stolen from us.
Ask your parents to check the links down below in
the description to learn more of how to have the
Best Birthday Ever? Are you guys ready for Part two?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Me too?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Let's go. As Liam and Eileen were looking at their
new unicorn friend, trying to understand what in the world
was going on, they both realized that this was only
just the beginning of an amazing adventure.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well sond so smilen morning and I followed the footprints
of her Starleton rats that volcanor but on the Roltzer
frolts current.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Sal Have you ever seen a unicorn cry? It's a
very sad thing until you realize that they cry candy
from their eyes. They don't actually have tears. They actually
have tears of candy. As Liam knelt down on the
ground and was picking up these pieces of candy. His

(01:31):
sister elbowed him to stop. Hey, we can't do that
right now. This unicorn needs our help, said Eileen. I know,
but there's all this candy now on the floor, said Liam.
Won't leave it. That was not a good time to
do that. Liam reluctantly dropped the candy back on the ground. Okay, so, uh,

(01:52):
it's that volcano right there. Can you show us the
footprints that you saw where it entered that mountain? Wells
cameras mole. Liam and Eileen followed this little unicorn that
was guiding them towards the volcano. I don't know if
you know, if it's a good idea to ever walk
towards a volcano like this, but it is an emergency.

(02:14):
There's a missing baby unicorn. I would do the same thing.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
So sup their footprints a little up right there? And
so those.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Dinosaurs dinosaurs, said Liam. Where there they were? There were
two giant dinosaurs, not like t rex dinosaurs, but the
kind of dinosaurs with really long necks that eat leaves
out of the trees. Yes, dinosaurs.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
They're Garland the store.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
And unless I know the password, I don't know the
password shouted the unicorn. Well let's go talk to them
and see if we can figure it out, said Eileen.
Come on, I'm not going back.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Up there the little style and I'm just gonna start
back downsaur lul lah mo la forber come home.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Okay, we will. Liam and Eileen kept walking up this
trail that was leading them right towards the entrance of
the volcano that was guarded by these two very tall dinosaurs.
Hello up there, shouted Eileen. Hi, our friend said her
baby might be stuck inside this volcano, and so we

(03:24):
need to get inside.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
You're not getting inside unless you know the password. What
is the password? Said one of the dinosaurs. Liam and
Eileen thought for a second, can you give us a clue?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Said Liam.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
No, you're not getting a clue.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh you're gonna have to get tell me the password
or get on out of here, said the dinosaur.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
There's no way that we're gonna be able to, you know,
guess some random password. You need to get more information.
Gotta get it out of him, whispered Eileen to Liam.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay, so I understand that you can't give us a clue,
but you know, uh, could you give us a category
like how uh, whoever made this password? What were they
thinking about when they made this password?

Speaker 5 (04:18):
I'm not telling you a clue about the password. The
person who made this password made it very clear to
us that we were never to say anything about it.
He really likes his rainbows to be secrets. And oh dear,
I've said too much.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Instantly, the dinosaur looked very embarrassed and he closed his mouth.
Wait do you think he accidentally just gave us a
hint for the password? What do you think it is?
Liam and Eileen whispered to each other. He said something
about rainbows. Maybe their password's rainbow, said Liam. There's no

(05:00):
way he would just blurt out the whole password for us,
but I guess it's worth a try, whispered back Eileen.
All right, Uh, you know we forgot that we knew
the password the whole time. Dinosaurs. Uh, sorry for the confusion,
but the password is rainbow. These two dinosaurs' eyes got
very big and their eyebrows raised. They instantly stepped aside

(05:25):
of the door. Thank you, have a nice day, said Eileen,
as she and Liam walked right into the volcano. They
were skipping and laughing as they entered. Wow, I can't
believe they figured out the password and that they totally
tricked those dinosaurs into giving away a huge, huge clue.

(05:46):
As they're walking into this volcano cave thing, they all
of a sudden hear some voices in the distance. Gleaming exclaimed,
what are they saying? That sounds almost like purple ninjas?
Said liamh I think it has, said Eileen. Here, Let's

(06:08):
go this way. They took a turn at the next
tunnel and started walking down that way that was going
away from the voices. They did not want to be
seen by whoever else was in this volcano it was.
It was probably whoever stole this baby unicorn in the
first place. Up ahead there it was, Hey, little friend,

(06:29):
we're here to rescue you, said Eileen, as they both
raced over to it. It was so young it didn't
know how to talk yet, but Eileen and Liam both
knew that they had to get that little unicorn out
of their fast bosh. On the other side of the

(06:54):
room that they were in, there was this very strange
looking steam mountain explosion happening. I don't know it kind
of do you know what a geyser is? Imagine if
you had a bottle of soda that you shook up
and then took the lid off, and it sprays everywhere. Right, Yeah,
there's a whole bunch of pressure built up inside and

(07:15):
it sprays out really fast. Well around volcanoes, deep down
inside it makes a lot of pressure, and so occasionally
in certain spots there will be places where it pushes
out a lot of pressure like steam and water. And
Liam got an idea, wait a second, what if we
hold onto the unicorn and the three of us we

(07:37):
sit on that geyser thing over there, maybe it'll blast
us off right up out of the volcano. The Purple
Ninjas will never even know that we were here. Are
you kidding me? That sounds incredibly dangerous, said Eileen. I
guess let's go check out that baby on a corn.
They're getting closer, were running out of Come on. Liam

(08:02):
grabbed the baby unicorn and Eileen was close behind. They
sat on top of that place where there was this
you know, geyser exploding pressure that would hopefully launch them
up and out through the top of the volcano. All right,
hold on, said Liam, and just like that, the three

(08:24):
of them, Liam, Eileen and this baby unicorn blasted off
through the top of the volcano. They landed in a
pile of dirt at the top of the volcano. Splat,
whoa we made it, sparkers. Is that lure? The Mommy

(08:48):
unicorn was so happy to see her baby again.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
Unk to smuch. We're both get our artols before the
come back and see us. You're right, Come on, Liam,
we gotta go by little unicorn. Liam and Eileen waved
goodbye and ran as fast as they could. They had
to run back to that Remember that pond that they
first splashed in. They hoped that maybe, just maybe that

(09:13):
would be the same portal that would get them back
to the treehouse.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
All right, there it is. Hey, where is it you
guys that stole the unicorn? Come back here? The Purple
Ninjas were closing in. Right behind. Liam and Eileen were
standing at the edge of a cliff with the water
down below. All right, we gotta jump, Come on, splash, splash.

(09:38):
The two of them jumped right into the water and
they were instantly whop. Whoa wait a second, that actually worked.
We're back in the treehouse, said Liam. Eileen and Liam
couldn't believe it. They had been transported into some kind
of unicorn world that I guess ninjas live in. But

(10:02):
they got back to their treehouse through that same water. Whoa.
And that was the day that Liam and Eileen's life
would change forever. Not only did they find really cool
old treehouse in their backyard, but they also learned that
it was somehow connected through a portal to a unicorn

(10:23):
world and it would become their job to protect it
and protect all the unicorns from those sneaky purple ninjas.
The end. Great job, you listened all the way to
the end, and you know what tell me it is

(10:43):
It's time for kid shout out. I want to say
to Eliza in River from Saint Louis, Kini from Thailand
in Alaska, Valentina from Texas, Lincoln and David from Rockland, California,
Jackson No. One from New Jersey, Emmett from Colorado, Analysis
from Nevada. I'm so glad that you're all on the

(11:05):
Kid Short Stories family and on the spy team. We
could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath and his crew without you,
my friends. Well, you have a super duper day and
I'll see you next time. Bye.
