Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kid
Short Stories. I need you on the spy team and
you have to listen close and look carefully. Down in
the show notes below is the very stop secret phone
number for HQBE. This is where we send out all
of our communication to our spies. So if you look
in the show notes below and send us a text,

(00:24):
then we can send you all of the challenges and
let you know if the Purple Ninja's or Doctor Sinky
Breath are in your area. Friends, are you ready for
today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. It was a beautiful
day as Monty and Kai. We're driving on the school

(00:47):
bus on the way home after a great day at school.
As the school bus came to a squeaky stop, the
doors opened and Monty and Kai grabbed their backpacks and
walk down the steps out the door of the school bus.
They waved by to their friends as the bus zoomed off.

(01:08):
What do you want to do today? Said Kai? I
think we should definitely keep working on our fort What
do you think? Yes, let's do that. Monty and Kai
raced back to their house to get to their backyard.
This was where they were building their fort. It was
made of a whole bunch of sticks and branches and
trees that they had found in the forest nearby. They

(01:31):
had been building the structure for many, many weeks. It
was big enough for them to both go inside and
even stand up. Have you ever built a fort before?
They can be a really fun thing to do outside
with friends. And Kai and Monty were both very good

(01:51):
fort builders. But all of a sudden they heard that sound. Hey,
looks like we got message. Let's check it out, Monty
and Kai, this is HQ. We have stumbled onto a
new location of a stinky crystal. It appears to have
been accidentally swallowed by a giant hippopotamus. We will send

(02:16):
you the coordinates and it's your job to recover that
very stinky crystal before doctor stinky Breath and Professor sticky
fingers get their hands on it. Good luck. Manty and
Kai froze and looked at each other. Did they say?
A hippopotamus swallowed it? Said Monty, like, one, how did

(02:37):
that happen? And two? How are we gonna get it
out of the belly of a hip hop? I don't
even want to think about it. Kai closed his eyes
and shivered. They both knew what it might mean of
how they were gonna get back that stinky crystal. Do
you guys remember what the stinky crystal is? Yes, it's
a crystal that doctor Stinky Breath has wanted to for

(03:00):
a very long time. And I guess there's more than one.
And if he gets his hands on that stinky crystal,
it will give him stinky powers. Oh, we cannot let
that happen. Meanwhile, up in the purple blimp, high up
in the sky, Professor Sticky Fingers was on to a
new plan. Oh boy, doctor, come over here, look at

(03:21):
our stinky radar. It's going beeppeppeep. I think I found one.
What are you talking about, Professor? You'd better be talking
about the stinky crystal because the last one says we
stole those spy teams they took it back. All right,
it'd better be good news about Do you know where

(03:44):
the location of another stinky crystal it is? Oh? Boy,
of course I do. Look at this. Professor Sticky Fingers
was looking at a big screen and had a flashing
red dot in the middle of a map. You mean
our stinky red are actually fucks? Wow? Oh, those purple
ninjas actually did something goodsyes time. Okay, professor, Well, let's

(04:09):
put in some coordinates for that red flashing light and
turn our purple blimp towards findings at crystal. Then we
will be able to make the world very very stinky.
Back at Monty and Kai's house, they were grabbing all

(04:29):
their spy gear and they were gonna need all of
it for this very unknown mission of protecting the stinky
crystal from doctor Stinky Breath. But that crystal was inside
the belly of a giant hippopotamus. All right, you got
your jet pack, said Monty. It's all ready to go.
Let's roll, said Kai. Kai and Manty blasted off with

(04:52):
their jetpacks, zooming towards the clouds. They had the coordinates
of this hippopotamus. It was pretty far away, but their
jetpacks would get them there very quickly. So Kai, uh,
do you have any ideas of how we're gonna get
the stinky crystal out of the hippopotamus, asked Monty. Kai

(05:13):
took a deep breath and said, yeah, I've been thinking
about that for a while. I'm pretty sure that we're
gonna have to get a little extra stinky to get
the stinky crystal, if you know what I mean. Monty
shook his head. They both understood the mission. They were
gonna need to go digging through some hippo poop Ooh

(05:38):
oh goodness, gracious, Uh do you think you could do that? Oh?
I'm glad Manti and Kai are on the spy team
because that takes some super special skills. That is not
a part of spy training. I don't think we're certified
in hippopotamus poop, but uh, you know, sometimes the job

(06:00):
for some extra bravery and maybe even something to plug
your nose with. As Monty and Kai were zooming through
the clouds, they could see off in the distance the
place where it was believed where the hippopotamus lived. You
see hippopotamuses. Do you think they live in the desert

(06:20):
or in the water, Yes, very much. In the water.
They are They live pretty much their entire life in
the water. They're very good swimmers and very fast and powerful.
You never want to step foot in the same water
as a hippopotamus because they can be actually very dangerous.
Did you know that hippopotamus is killed more people than lions. Yeah,

(06:45):
that's pretty dangerous. I don't know how close these two
spies are gonna want to get to a hippopotamus. But
it's a good thing they brought their spy gear with
them because I think that is gonna help them out
play a bit. As they started approaching the lake where
it was believed that the hippopotamus was, they thought they
saw something in the clouds. Hey, Monty, did you see

(07:07):
that over there? Said Kai. He was pointing to a
big cloud that looked like there was something behind it. No,
I didn't see anything. What was it, said Monty. I
don't know. It looked like, I don't know, something really
big behind the cloud. I gotta go check it out.
Monty flew down towards the ground and laying it on

(07:28):
the lake as Kai flew around to get a better
look at what was behind that cloud over there. Monty
started unpacking some of his spy gear on the beach
there because he wasn't exactly sure what he was going
to need in order to find this hippopotamus that swallowed
the stinky crystal. But then Kai started shouting for him.

(07:49):
Manti Banty, gets down, hide under that tree over there,
shouted Kai. Monty grabbed all of his gear and listened
to Kai. Wait, what did you see over there? What
is it? Said Monty, I just saw the purple blimp
for real. I don't know how in the world they

(08:09):
always seem to know everything what's going on, but I
think doctor Stinky Breath is here to steal the stinky crystal.
What are we gonna do? Shouted Kai? What in the
world are Manty and Kai going to do? They need
to ask act fast if they're going to save this

(08:30):
stinky crystal and not let the Professor and the doctor
get it and take over the world through their ultrapower stinkiness.
Oh dear, I don't know what's gonna happen, but we're
gonna have to wait and see what happens on the
next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job, you listened

(08:54):
all the way to the end, and you know what,
tim it is, It's time for kid shout. I want
to say hey to Osaka from Saskatchewan, Carter and Taylor
from Costa Rica, Jewel from Iowa, Isaac from British Columbia,
Charlotte and Evan from North Carolina, Eddie from Michigan, and
Monty and Kai from Nashville, Tennessee. I'm so glad that

(09:17):
you are all in the kid Schort Sorts family and
on the spy team. We could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath
at his crew without you, my friends. Will you have
a souper duper day and I will see you on
our next adventure. Bye.
