Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey Friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kids
short stories. Down below in the show notes there's an
awesome link that I need to make sure that you
have clicked on. You see, there's something called activities for
kids or our critter challenges, to be a critter protector
on our kids animal stories show. You need to make
sure that you're doing all these activities and challenges and
they're super duper fun. So Click the link down below

(00:26):
in the show notes to check those out today. Are
you guys ready for today's amazing adventure? Holy Smokes, wait
to let's go. Today was a perfect day for Eric
and Leo to go fishing. Have you ever gone fishing before?

(00:51):
That's a really fun thing to do when it's pretty simple.
You just need a fishing pool with a hook and
a maybe bobber and and some worms. Have you ever
held a slimy worm before? It could be a little, uh,
little extra slimy. Well, when you put the worm on
the hook, then you throw in the water and you

(01:13):
gotta be patient. Sometimes the fish are very hungry. Sometimes
you gotta have to wait a little bit longer, but
Eric and Leo were both very patient fisherman. Hey, Leo,
have you got any bites yet? Shouted Eric. Not Yet,
but I've seen some big ones swimming nearby, said Leo.

(01:33):
It was a hot Saturday morning and they hadn't gotten
any bites yet, but Eric and Leo were determined to
catch this monster fish. You see, this pond near their
house had an old legend that there was like a
ginormous fish, a fish that was so big it would
just bite right through the fishing line, and everyone always

(01:58):
tried to catch it but it was too big. But
Eric and Leo, they were determined to catch that legendary
ginormous fish. Hey, I'm gonna take a break for a second.
I'm gonna just leave my pole sitting over here, said Eric.
He walked over to their snack bag, which is where
they had brought some snacks, which that's a really important

(02:19):
part of fishing. It could take a little while to
catch your fish, so you definitely need some snacks and
some water while you're waiting. M Hmm, these are good.
You want some, Leo, said Eric. Yeah, I love some.
Eric passed the bag of snacks over to Leo and
he gobbled them down. So what do you think this

(02:41):
legendary fish actually is, asked Eric. Mm Hmm, I thought
maybe like it's an old sturgeon, or maybe it's a
little shark that got loose in this pond somehow a
long time ago and it's just grown up and just
sits down at the bottom. Said you. That would be insane.

(03:02):
I've always thought it was a ginormous catfish, but I
like your idea is better, said Eric. Eric Your Pool Look,
shouted Leo. Eric's pole. He had leaned it up against
a tree branch and it was all of a sudden
just like being pulled almost into the pond. It was
dipped over and looked like um an upside down jay

(03:26):
letter because it was bending so much. Eric ran over
as fast as he could. He slid his feet through
the dirt like he was sliding into second base and
grabbed onto the fishing pole before it got pulled right
into the water. I got it, it's on, Leo, I

(03:46):
need your help, shouted Eric. Leo came running over and
held onto Eric's shoulders so that Eric wouldn't get pulled
into the water too. Don't let me go, said Eric.
It's about to pull me into the water. I won't
let you go, said Leo. I got. You just keep reeling,
don't let go of the poll we've got to catch

(04:08):
this monster. It was the most epic of fishing battles
I've ever seen. Eric was using all of his muscles,
there was sweat pouring down his face and Leo was
holding on for Eric's life because if he lets go,
Eric is going flying, I mean zooming right into the pond.

(04:32):
There seriously must be like a ginormous legendary fish in there.
What do you think it is? I wonder if they're right.
Do you think a shark could actually live in a
pond like that? It's getting closer to shore. I've almost
got it. Eric had reeled that as much as he
could and he could tell that it was close to shore.

(04:53):
They still couldn't see what kind of creature, what it was,
but all of a sudden it poked out its it. Hey,
why do you guys keep bothering me? Eric and Leo
were thrown back into the grass and they couldn't believe it. Leo,
it's not a fish, that's a ginormous snapping turtle. He

(05:17):
was right. It was actually not a fish that they
had caught, but it was a ginormous snapping turtle that
looked pretty upset. I gotta hand it to you. You
two are pretty strong, but seriously, why do you keep
bothering me? said the snapping turtle. We're so sorry, said Leo.

(05:40):
We really thought that you were like a giant, enormous fish,
but has it really been you this entire time? Are
you the legendary fish that everyone's tried to catch? Yes,
it's me. It gets pretty frustrating when people fish in
here because there's not any fish in here. It's only me,

(06:02):
and so I bite those hooks to get him out
of here. You just gotta find a different place to
go fishing. Eric and Leo were completely shocked. Not only
did they just learn that there's no fish in this pond,
but they just got a ginormous talking snapping turtle. I've

(06:22):
never seen that before, and neither have they. We're so sorry,
Mr Snapping Turtle. Uh Yeah, we'll, we'll stop fishing here
and we'll stop bothering you and leave you alone. Said Eric. Okay,
thank you. There's a good pond just east of here
a couple of minutes. You should check out there. It's

(06:43):
full of amazing fish. That's where I go to eat
my lunch, said the turtle. Oh, thank you so much
for the tip, said Leo. We'll head over there right
now and we will never fish in this pond ever again.
And just then the snapping turtle went back into the
water and disappeared. Eric and Leo looked at each other

(07:05):
and they shook their heads. They couldn't even believe that
that was actually just happened. It felt like a dream,
but it was real. The rest of the day they
spent over at that other pond that the snapping turtle
recommended and caught a ton of fish. He was totally right,
and now they found a new place to go fishing
and they will never ever go back to that pond

(07:29):
with the mysterious legendary fish that's actually a snapping turtle.
The End. Great Job, you listened all the way to
the end, and you know what time it is. It's

(07:50):
time for kid shout. Oh it's I to say hey
to Jasper and Harper from British Columbia, Layla and Delon
from California, Judah from Ontario, Milan and Quentin from Colorado,
signed from British Columbia, Yosh from India, Devin and Mateo
from New Zealand, Jack and Dean from a Ruba. I'm
so glad that you are all on the spy team

(08:12):
and on the kitchen. Sorry his family, we could not
stop doctor stinky breath and his crew without you, my friends.
While you have a super duper day and I will
see you on our next adventure. Bye.
