Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit
Short Stories. I know we are about to jump into
part two of this awesome adventure with Luca, but it's
gonna be way more fun if you share this story
with a friend. So if you think of two friends
right now that your parents can text this episode and
part one two, then you two get listen to it together,

(00:25):
which will make this adventure ten times more awesome. Well, friends,
are you ready to see if Luca is able to
save that bigfoot from the dinosaur? Me too, Let's go.
As Luca raced back to his house to grab all
of his spider gear and including his jetpack, he threw

(00:48):
it over his back and off he blasted through. His
jetpack was super duper fast, and it was important for
him to always keep it clean so that it would
stay fast. You see those turbo boosters. You gotta clean
him out every once in a while with some Q
tips and uh maybe an old T shirt just to

(01:10):
make sure that they're nice and squeaky clean so the
air can fly through them super duper fast. As he
was following the coordinates on his GPS, he was wondering
what in the world kind of adventure he had been
called into. Remember, he was going to save this bigfoot
who used to be on the spy team. I guess

(01:32):
his name's Biggie, who had somehow stumbled into a scenario
where he is afraid of being eaten by a dinosaur,
and it's up to Luca to somehow rescue Bigfoot from
the dinosaur. Oh dear, that sounds like quite the adventure.
Would you be able to handle that one? You see,
when you're on the spy team, you have to be
ready for, like, you just never know what kind of

(01:55):
adventure that we're gonna call you into. Luca had been
through trainings, but none involving bigfoots and dinosaurs. So sometimes
you just have to, you know, choose to be brave
and just go for it. Well up ahead, he could
see that he was getting very closer, because there it

(02:16):
was this giant valley that had been surrounded by a
whole bunch of mountains. It looked like almost like a bowl,
like a mountain bowl, except instead of cereal being inside
of this bowl, I guess there's a dinosaur and a
bigfoot inside of this mountain bowl. He carefully touched down

(02:38):
in the grassy field of this valley and started calling
out for Biggie. Biggie, are you here. My name's Luca.
I'm with the spy team. I heard you call for help,
big ae. His voice echoed throughout the hills. I guess
if you're inside of a mountain bowl like that, it's

(02:58):
very echoey. But off in the distance he heard the
sound of Biggie.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'm over behind these rocks, please come help me.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Remember, Biggie was pretty afraid. He had heard that giant,
scary dinosaur voice in the cave up ahead, and had
hid behind these rocks. I guess he hadn't even moved
an inch. Hi, Biggie, Wow, you are pretty big. My
name's Luca, and I was sent here to save you.
They said something about a cave and a dinosaur. So

(03:33):
can you tell me exactly what's going on? Okay, Yeah,
you see.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
I I had stumbled down to that hill there. My
big feet got slippery in the mud. Squish, squish squish,
if you know what I mean, and I fell all
the way down here. I've looked all around. There's only
one way in and one way out through that cave
over there, and it's blocked by a very mean scary

(04:02):
diner shan.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
And that's why I'm hiding here. I don't know what
to do. Wow, it sounds like you've had a pretty
challenging day, said Luca. You don't even know the half
of it.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
You see. I was trying to drink my pine needle
tea over there up on that hill, but a beaver
and eat in my favorite branch that I like to
sit on and sip my tea. So it's been a
horrible day, to say the least.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Said Biggie. Oh, I definitely understand having horrible days. Last Thursday,
I had a horrible day, said Luca. I had made
this awesome art project for school, and on my way there,
I accidentally dropped it right in a huge puddle. It
was so frustrating. I had to clean it all up,
and and it was kind of embarrassing to show my

(04:56):
art project with all this mud and water on it.
But you still did it anyway, said Biggie. Yeah, I
still did. What do you mean, Oh, I would have
just run run for the heels and never showed my
face again. That just sounds terrible. Oh well, yeah it is.

(05:19):
It was terrible, but it's okay. You know, sometimes things
don't always go our way and that's okay.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Wow, you really are very brave. Okay, I believe you.
You're brave enough to go talk to that dinosaur. Let's
let's see what he says. But you first, you first.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Biggie pointed ahead to the cave, and Luca realized that, Yeah,
he had been brave with that art project before, but
this just seemed a little bit different talking to a
real dinosaur. But he was gonna be brave anyway. All right, Biggie,
just stay close behind and with me.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh, I certainly, but you first, you first.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Lucas said her started heading towards that cave up ahead.
It was a very creepy looking cave, but thankfully it
was more like a tunnel because he could see light
and jungle on the other side of that cave. They
just needed to walk on through. But I think there
was just a big misunderstanding with that giant dinosaur is there.

(06:33):
Oh my, I'm sorry to scare you. Please don't eat us.
My name's Luca, and this is making the bank foot.
We're both on the spy team. We're just oh, but.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Wi is he here?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
He's here?

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Just steal all my food and my home from me,
isn't he?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Oh no, no, no, he slipped on accident and fell
down the side of that hill over there. Do you
see all those skid marks on that mud in the
side of the hill. The dinosaur peaked his head out
from the cave and looked up at the side of
the mountain. He was a very scary looking dinosaur. He
looked like he only had one eye, or maybe he

(07:14):
just closed one of his eyes. I think he was
trying to act like a pirate er.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Okay, by the looks of it, your story checks out.
But why are you trying to walk inside of my cave?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, we're actually, I think, just trying to get through.
You know how your cave is kind of more like
a tunnel. Well, Biggie lives on the other side of
that tunnel, in that forest over there.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
You don't say I didn't know that a ginormous furry
beast lived over those hills.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well I don't think he knew that a giant, scaly
beast like you lived here.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I certainly did not. You see, this is all just
a big whoopsie. I slipped, and now I need to
get back home so I can drink my tea. You
like to drink tea.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Said the dinosaur. There's only one kind of tea that
I like, Pine needle tea. That stuff is delicious. Biggie
the Bigfoot all of a sudden came out from behind
Luca and said.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Sure, you mean you like pie needle tea too, That
Judge one.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Is my favorite. I've never seen a bigfoot as happy
as Biggie was right now. He thought that that dinosaur
was trying to eat him, but it was all just
a big misunderstanding, and once they were able to talk
through it with the help of Luca, they discovered that
they both loved the same kind of tea. And even

(08:50):
though this is the end of our story, this is
actually the beginning of an amazing friendship between Biggie the
Bigfoot and I actually didn't catch that dinosaur's name, but
Biggie the Bigfoot and that ginormous, scary look and dinosaur
they would actually become some tea drinking friends, all because
of the bravery of Luca. The end, great job, you

(09:19):
listened all the way to the end, and you know
what time it is. It's time for kid show out.
I want to say hey to Regard Gustin June from Seattle,
Alexander from Washington, Madison from South Carolina, Walker from Barrington,
Rhode Island, Cedar from Westchester, Ohio, Diane from Maine, Riker

(09:41):
from Wheaton, Illinois, and Scottie and Whittaker from water Leo, Ontario.
I'm so glad that you're all in the Kid Short
Stories family and on the spy team. We could not
stop Doctor Stinky Breath and his crew without you, my friends.
Will you have a souper Doper Day. I'll see you
next time. Bye a
