Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Short Stories. If you haven't followed our Instagram page yet,
you need to do that right now. So just ask
your parents to check out the show notes below and
for them to click the link that brings us over
to the Instagram page where you can see all of
our giveaways and the hangouts that I do on there

(00:26):
when we go live together and we have a lot
of fun on Instagram together. Well, friends, are you ready
for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. It was a
beautiful day outside as Sid and Ali were playing with
a whole bunch of their friends at the playground near

(00:48):
their house. Alright, guys, seven, hey, nine, Ted, ready or not? Here?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Right?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Come? Shouted said as he chased everybody around the playground.
They were playing some kind of tag game that I've
never seen before. Uh. It looked like when you get tagged,
you have to turn into some kind of animal for
ten seconds. It was pretty interesting. There were people mooing

(01:18):
and barking, and I'm not exactly sure what the animal
that is, but I think he's trying to be a hippopotamus.
Ali was very fast and was running around the park
trying to not let his brother Sid tag him, and
then all of a sudden, he heard a sound. Ollie

(01:38):
froze and reached into his pocket for his walkie talkie.
I got you, said Sid. Wait, all on, I just
got an alert from spy Team. You did, said Sid, Yeah,
you got You gotta go somewhere and see what the
message is.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Okay, hey guys, we got to head back home.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, we'll see you later, shouted Sid. The two brothers
got on their bikes and rode home. They loved getting
messages from HQ and the spy team. It was very
exciting when they heard that sound. They parked their bikes
in the garage and then found a secret location in
the back of the garage for a place that they

(02:19):
could listen to the message.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Sid and Ali, we need your help. There is an
emergency happening downtown. There's some kind of a noodle explosion
that is taken over the city by storm. We'll send
you the coordinates over and out.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Shh Did they say a noodle explosion? Said Ali. That's
what I heard too.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Said said, I love noodles.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
This one's gonna be awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Sid and Ali raced up to their room to grab
all their spy gear, you know, jetpack, net blaster, glue blaster,
there's a lot of stuff that a spies need to
make sure that we have with us at all times,
and they were already. They strapped on their jetpack and
off they blasted. H It wasn't a long flight all

(03:14):
the way to downtown, just a few minutes. But from
up above they could see there was crazy pandemonium going
on down there. Do you know what that ginormous word means, pandemonium?
It means crazy, like super super crazy stuff. A People

(03:37):
were screaming and running all around. Nobody knew where to go.
There was a ginormous cheese explosion that had happened across
the whole city, so everyone was covered in sticky yellow cheese.
Sid and Ali landed in a safe place. All right, Ali,
we gotta get closer. People need our help. Sid shat.

(04:00):
They both started reaching down and pulling people out of
these giant puddles of really sticky cheese. That was like.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Sucking them down.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It was a serious emergency, but Sid and Ali they
were on top of it. He started pulling everyone out
and they had rescued every single person. Oh that was
how was a really cheesy uh mess they got there,
said Ali. That's gonna be a crazy job to clean up.

(04:31):
Who's gonna clean up all this cheese? Said asked, not me?
Said Ali. I'll eat all the macaroni and cheese, but
I don't want to eat it off of the street.
And just then, in the distance, they heard a sound. Hoy,

(04:52):
both said, and Ali's eyes got really big. It never
heard a sound like that. Have you ever heard a
sound like that? What did that sound like? As they
were walking down the street towards that strange sound they heard,
they had to be careful where they stepped because it
was basically like a game of floors lava, except the

(05:12):
floor was covered in the sticky of stuff. Chase as
very strange. And just then they turned the corner and
there it was. Is that a noodle ninja? Said Ali.
They couldn't believe it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
In front of them down the street.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Was in fact a real noodle ninja.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Have you ever heard of a noodle ninja?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yes, they're very rare, but they are on doctor Stinkybreat's team,
and they have amazing kung fu skills, and they're made
out of noodles All right, Sid, Are you ready for this?
Said Ali? Confidently. I think this is one of those
times where we have to choose to be brave. There's
no way that we're running away scared from a wet noodle.

(05:58):
You should have seen them. These two brothers look totally focused,
even though inside in their mind they might have been
a little afraid to engage into a kung fu battle
with the macaroni and cheese noodle, but they had to
choose to be brave. What would you do if you
had to face off with a ginormous macaroni and cheese
noodle in a kung fu battle? Would you know how

(06:20):
to choose to be brave? Yeah? The secret is we
just count to three and then when we hit three,
we gotta just do it, all right, So do it
with me? One, two, three, The Sid and Ali engaged
into an amazingly epic kung fu battle, and that wet

(06:46):
noodle he did not see it coming. There was cheese
splattered everywhere, and pretty soon that macaroni and cheese noodle
surrendered to Sid and Ali.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Wow, great job, Citinali.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
You two saved the whole city from that crazy macaroni
and cheese noodle. Holly smokes that it's gonna be a
very sticky mess for everyone to clean up all that
cheese explosion that was dripping all over the city. Where
did all that cheese come from? I'm not exactly sure,
but hopefully this is the end of those Kung Fu

(07:23):
cheese noodles. But maybe, just maybe this actually is not
the end, but only just the beginning the end. Great job,
you listened all the way to the end, and you

(07:43):
know what time it is.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's time Fortard shout out.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
So I want to say hey to Olivia and Mica
from California, Alexander and Thomas from New Zealand, Dakota and
Colton from Georgia, Mackenzie from Washington, Jackson from Australia, Ada
from can and Parker and Andy from North Carolina. I'm
so glad that you are all on the Kits short
Story's family.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
