Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jemmen. Welcome back to kid Short Stories.
Today's story comes to us from Tildy. Hey Tildy, she
sent me an awesome idea for a story, and you
can too. Just head over to kidshort stories dot com.
Send me your idea and maybe you we'll turn it
into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a
story about.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Some stinky, sticky slime? Me too, Let's go.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Tildy had just woken up. It was a beautiful morning
and it was time for breakfast. She raced downstairs and
there it was oh delicious blate of some of her
favorite breakfast foods, pancakes and bacon and eggs.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Holy smokes, this was gonna be a good day.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
She quickly finished this delicious breakfast and raced back upstairs
because she still had her chores to do. She had
to brush her teeth, clean her room, and make her bed.
She was really good at those things. Have you ever
made your bed all by yourself before? It looks so
good when your bed is all made nice and neat,

(01:28):
your blankets are nice and straight, and your pillows in
its place. Maybe stuffed animals and extra blankies are in
a nice little nest. Oh, it is so nice to
go to sleep with a made bed. But you always
just have to make your bed in the morning so
that you go when you go to bed at night,
then it's already made. And oh, Tildy loved going to

(01:49):
bed into a nice, clean, made bed.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
After she finished all of her morning chores, she uh
decided to check her spy beeper to see if there
were any messages. No messages, Ah, it's gonna be an
easy day. Boy was she wrong. As Tildey raced back downstairs,

(02:14):
she was gonna put her shoes on and go play outside.
She had a lot of friends in her neighborhood and
they loved to play games at the park. She put
her shoes on, she opened the door and was immediately
greeted with a.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Terrible stinky smell. What is that smell?

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Tildy shouted, plugging her nose with her fingers.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
WHOA what in the world.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
I don't even know if I've ever smelled something like
that before, said Tildy as she opened the door and
looked outside. What happened? The entire yard was filled with
this purple slime. That that must be what's so stinky? Oh,

(03:03):
it's a huge mess. As she looked around and down
her street, she saw that her entire neighborhood had been
covered in this sticky, stinky, purple slime. That's my spiby burt,

(03:24):
it must be about this stinky mess. She closed the
door to not let any more of that stink into
her house, and ran upstairs to her room to check
the beeper. As she pushed the button, it said, Tildy,
this is HQ. We know that you must have smelled

(03:44):
this terrible smell by now because your neighborhood has been
directly hit by some kind of ginormous mess. We're not
sure what's going on, but do not walk in that slime.
It is like some kind of super gloom. We're pretty
sure that the Purple Ninjas are connected to this some way,

(04:05):
so stay tuned for more information.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh no, the purple. Oh that's why it's purple.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Those ninjas are always up to no good, said Tildy.
As she ran back downstairs, she saw some of her
friends starting to walk outside.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
She raced to the door, open it up. Wait, guys,
don't go outside. It's really sticky. Ah, I can't move
my feet, shouted her friends. Help somebody help me.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Oh no, they were stuck in the sticky, stinky slime.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Dun, dun, dun.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Tildy knew what she had to do. She had to
go save her friends from this terrible mess. She raced
up stairs, where all her spy gear was put on,
her jetpack and a pair of pluggers for her nose.
She needed to find something to stick up her nose
or close its shut so that she wouldn't have to

(05:14):
smell that.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Oh, a clothes pin perfect ow. Oh that kind of hurts.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
And oh no, they smell like a or I sound
like a purple ninjab. I wonder if that's why they
talk like this. It's because they're always plugging their nose
to be around doctor stinky breath. Ah, that makes a
lot of sense.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Said Tildy.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Tildy raced outside with her jetpack on and blasts it off,
hovering just above the sticky slime. She knew that if
she touched it at all, she would have some serious problems,
but the clothes pin actually worked pretty well. It kept
her nose closed so she didn't have to smell this
terrible smell. She flew over to one of her friends

(06:02):
and grabbed on and pulled with all of o mid
blasting the jetpack with all of its juice, and finally
the friend popped out of the sticky slime. Oh, thank
you so much, Tildey, he said, help over here.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Oh no, there was another friend.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Tildey had to put this friend down back at his house,
and she had to race down to the next house,
and the next house, and pretty soon everyone was needing
Tildey's help. She spent the next two hours pulling people
out of this sticky slime. With each time that they

(06:48):
popped out of the slime, it left a pretty silly sound.
All right, everyone, please stay in your houses. Do not
go outside, or else you're going to be stuck. I
will report back when I learn more. She had to
tell everyone in the neighborhood to stay in their houses

(07:08):
so that she could get this figured out. Oh good,
I hope it's the spy beeper. With more information, maybe
HQ is figure this out. She blasted off back to
her house with her jetpack. She landed and ran inside, Dildy,

(07:31):
this is HQ. We have learned that the Purple Ninjas
are testing this new sticky substance to determine if it
can make the entire world stay inside, because if the
whole ground is covered in this sticky slime, then no

(07:51):
one will be able to go out and get more toothpaste.
Pretty soon, the entire world will run out of toothpaste
and everyone will have very stinky breath. That's a terrible plan,
said Tildey as she realized that it was Doctor Stinky
Breath and the Purple Ninjas behind all of this. It

(08:11):
was just a plot to get everyone to stay in
their house so that they wouldn't be able to get
any more toothpaste. Wow, he'll do anything to get people
that get stinky breath. All right, I gotta figure out
how to get rid of this sticky slime. Tildy started
to do experiments. Do you know what an experiment is? Yeah,

(08:35):
where you test out different things. Well, she took a
little spoonful of the slime and brought it into her kitchen.
She started to test out if she poured salt or
sugar or ketchup on it, and then she waited to
see the results. And she learned that if she poured
salt on the sticky slime, it turned to water and

(08:59):
washed away.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh perfect, Tildy.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Let everybody know about the remedy to this sticky slime
that it just needed some salt. The whole neighborhood got
all their salt out and shaped it on the sticky slime.
Not only did it remove the smell, but it got
rid of that terrible sticky slime.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Whoa great job, Tildy.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
You saved us all and you stopped the Purple Ninjas again. Wow, Tildy,
I'm so glad that you are on our team the end.

(09:46):
Great job, you listened all the way to the end,
and you know what tim it is. It's time for
goode shout out. I want to say it is Sebastian
and Victoria from New Jersey, Molly, Dean and Carter from Toronto,
Emery and Ellie from Lexington, Kentucky, Justin and Noah from Pennsylvania,

(10:06):

Speaker 2 (10:20):
