Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jamn. Welcome back to Kids Short Stories.
Right now, I need to make sure that you have
smashed the follow buttoner that subscribe plus sign so that
you don't miss that on any of our awesome stories. Well,
today's story comes to us from Logan and Braiden. Hey guys,
they sent me an azome idea for a story and
you can't do Just head over to kids Shortstories dot com.

(00:27):
Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into
an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for today's story?
Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day in
the forest as Logan, Braiden and their family were camping

(00:49):
in a cabin in the woods. Have you ever been
inside of a cabin like one maid completely out of wood,
Like there's logs on the wall and logs on the roof.
That's a pretty cool place to go camping in because
there's all kinds of ways that you can go camping.

(01:09):
You could go camping by making a hut with all
kinds of sticks and trees and sleeping inside of it.
Or you could bring a tent and sleep inside of
the tent, or maybe you sleep in a cabin there's
all kinds of ways to get out in nature, and
that is exactly what Braiden and Logan are doing with

(01:29):
their family on this trip. And it's about lunchtime and
they are working on their world famous recipe of casadias. Hey, Logan,
can you pass me the cheese over there? Said Braiden.
Oh yeah, here you go. Oh oh, these smell so good,
said Logan. They had a secret recipe for these delicious

(01:52):
casadias that had been passed down from generation to generation.
It was definitely the world's most delicious casidia and it
smelled so good, Logan and Braiden. While we wait for
these to cool down, why don't you get the table
ready and maybe even open a window because it's so
nice outside. We're gonna run out to the car real

(02:14):
quick and get a couple more things. We'll be right back.
Just please have the table ready for us when we
get back, said their parents. Got it, said Logan as
he raced over to the windows. Braiden started clearing the
table as they anxiously awaited those case ideas to get
in their mouths. Have you ever had a case idia before? Oh?

(02:36):
They're so delicious, and all this talk about case idias.
I'm pretty sure I need to have some of that
delicious case idias coming out of Logan in Braiden's cabin. Hey, guys,
could you send one my way please? Well, as the
case ideas were now ready to be eaten, they set
them on the table on their plates, and all of

(02:57):
a sudden they heard a very loud sound. Ah, Braiden,
was that? Please tell me that was your stomach? Stop
joking around, Logan, that was your stomach, right? They both
realized that it was neither of their stomachs. If you
heard that kind of growling sound, what would you think

(03:20):
it was? Then they heard it again. Logan and Braiden
realized that that sound was coming from out the window.
As they turned to look at this wide open window
that they had opened to letting that cool air like
their parents had asked, they saw It's a bear, yelled Logan.

(03:47):
Logan and Brayden started running around inside their house. They
didn't know what to do. The bear was getting closer.
Logan and Braiden were absolutely losing their mind, But then
Braiden said, wait a second, what about our parents. They're outside.

(04:10):
The two boys ran to the front of the cabin
and opened up that window when started yelling out to
their parents, there's a bear in the backyard. Stay in
your car, don't get out. Their parents were honking the
horn of the car as loud as they could to

(04:31):
try and scare the bear away. Braiden and Logan walked
back over to see if they could still see the
bear out that other window, and holy smoked, Braidan. Look
at that, said Logan. They could see the bear holding
his paws over his ear. It's like he didn't like
the sound of the car horn, but it still wasn't

(04:54):
scaring him away. Bear go away, shouted Braiden, And it
was just at that moment that the bear looked up
right at them. Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know
that somebody was here. I just smelled something absolutely delicious
and I wanted to eat it. My tummy is empty, Logan.

(05:17):
In Braiden's mouths both dropped open. They had never heard
a bear talk before it neither have I, so I
would probably have the same reaction. Oh excuse me, mister bear,
but you're smelling your quesadillas and it's definitely not bear food.
You shouldn't eat it. It's only for people. You should

(05:38):
probably get out of here. Oh, but can't I just
have a little bit of a taste please? Braiden and
Logan remembered all that they had learned in their forest
ranger class. Not supposed to feed bear's people food because
that's just not what bears were supposed to eat. It
hurts their dummies and it makes them want to steal

(05:59):
more people food. So Logan told the bear again, mister bear,
you cannot eat our case ideas, they're our lunch. You
need to go eat what bears eat. Wait, hold on
a second, Hold on a second. I can't remember, do
you guys? Do you guys know what bears actually are
supposed to eat? What do they like to eat in

(06:20):
the wild? Do you have any guesses? Hmm, let me
look it up. Says their diet includes roots. That's strange.
They eat tree roots, berries, fish. Oh they like to
eat that's right. They they're good at catching fish. Braydon
remembered the bear's favorite food. Mister bear, why don't you

(06:43):
go fishing? I think there's a river over there that's
full of some delicious trout for you. Ye, I guess
you're right. I just oh, that smell is delicious. But yes,
it does hurt my tummy when I eat it, you
people food, it's it gives me stinky poops, and nobody
likes a bear's stinky poops. Logan and Braiden could help,

(07:05):
but laughing, Oh you're yes, you're right. Keesadilla's definitely make
bears have stinky stuff. So yes, you should go catch
some fish, and uh, please don't try and eat our
food again. Okay, okay, And it was just then that
the black bear walked away towards the river. They called

(07:27):
out to their parents, who were still honking their horn
in the car, and said it was safe to come
back inside. They rushed back inside and hugged both Logan
and Braiden and said, are you guys Okay? What an
the world happened? We saw the bear run away. Did
you scare it? Well, not exactly, said Logan. We just

(07:48):
reminded the bear that people food is not good for
his tummy and that fish was better. You talked to
the bear, Yeah, he was actually a pretty nice guy.
Once we explained to him that, you know, caesadillas give
bears some stinky toots. They all erupted into some hilarious

(08:11):
laughter thinking about bear stinky Toots. Well, this may be
the end of the story, but it's just the beginning
of their amazing camping adventure the end. Great job, you

(08:31):
listened all the way to the end, and you know
what time it is. It's time for kid shout out.
So I want to say hey to Kiaren and Robbie
from Indianapolis, Indiana, Marley from kent Isa from California, Oscar
from San Francisco, Eloa from Brazil, Frankie from Kentucky, Ray

(08:52):
from Colorado, and Jaden from Tubson, Arizona. I'm so glad
that you're all in the Kitsch Art Story's family and
on our spy team could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath and
his crew without you, my friends. Will you have a
super duper day and I will see you on our
next adventure. Bye.
