Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Short Stories. I want to make sure that you are
following our Instagram page. Yes, that is where I go
live and hang out with you all the time, and
we do all kinds of giveaways and fun challenges there
as well, So make sure you check the show notes
and have your parents follow our Kids Short Stories Instagram

(00:26):
page today. Well, friends, are you ready for Toto's Adventure
from Tessa and Sophia. Oh I am, let's go.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Hey boss, come on over here, check this out.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
What is it, purples? What are you working on the wire?
Where does these frogs come from?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, we've been a we found a way to turn
stuff into frogs. Don't exactly understand and how you might
be able to use this, But if he want us
to turn something into slimy frogs, I think the professor
could maybe benefit from that.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
You mean we can turn something into a very slimy
little frog. Oh, I'm sure we could figure out a
perfect way to put that into action that our spy
team will not like. Later that same day, Tessa and

(01:37):
Sophia were playing in their backyard with their dog named Mocha.
Mocha catch this one. Sophia had a big red frisbee
that she loved to throw as hard as she could,
and Mocha would run it down and catch it in
its mouth. Oh great catch, Moca, shouted Tessa. Sophia and Tessa,

(02:00):
we're both taking turns throwing this frisbee as far as
they could have You ever tried to throw a frisbee
really far? It is a really fun thing to get
good at. And then when you try and catch it.
I always use the alligator clap and try to jump
it with both of my hands when I try and

(02:21):
catch the frisbee. You should try that too. It's a
lot safer than trying to catch it in your mouth. Like, Mocha,
what do you think would happen if you try to
catch a frisbee in your mouth? I think I would
need to go to the dentist because I would probably
lose several or slash all of my teeth. Good job, Mocha, Here,

(02:43):
bring it over here, said Tessa. All right, this one,
I'm gonna launch it so far. Are you ready, Mocha? Roof.
Mocha was very excited. Here it goes, as the frisbee launched.
This was definitely the farthest throw that Mocha had ever seen.

(03:05):
His eyes glued into the frisbee, and Auvey ran into
the grass fields, chasing after closely behind, and all of
a sudden, there was a sound how ribbon. The two girls,
Testa and Sophia looked at each other. Did you hear that?

(03:26):
Did Mocha just eat a frog or something? Let's go.
Testa and Sophia ran into the field as fast as
they could, looking for their dog, Mocha. Mocha shouted, Sophia,
Moca nothing. Did he just disappear? Said Tessa. Look, here's

(03:48):
the frisbee. Sophia bent down and picked up the red
frisbee and underneath it was ribby ribby. Holy smokes, that
scared me. There's a frog under there, she said. Oh,
we gotta find Mocha. Tessa and Sophia kept calling out
for Moca, but it's like he just disappeared. Why does

(04:12):
this frog keep following me around? Said Tessa. She was right.
The frog just kept hopping around and following her very
closely behind. And every time that they would shout Moca,
the frog would go ribb it, ribb it. Hold on
a second, let me take a closer look at you.

(04:34):
Sophia bent down and looked right in the frog's eyes.
You're not gonna believe this, Tessa. I think that's Mocha.
I know Mocha's eyes anywhere. Look. Ha, you're right, said Tessa.
How did this happen? Nobody's gonna believe us. What do

(04:55):
we do? They both had a million questions and thoughts
raced through their minds, but the first thing that they
knew they had to do was we have to call
this into HQ. Let's go. Tessa and Sophia scooped up
that frog that they believed was their dog, Mocha, on
top of the frisbee and carefully brought him back to

(05:16):
their backyard. They needed to run inside and get a
walkie talkie, but they didn't want their dog to jump
away and get lost forever. I'll run inside and get
the walkie talkie. You stay here. Tessa ran inside to
get the walkie talkie and Sofia sat outside in the
grass looking at her dog, I mean her frog. Sh HQ, HQ.

(05:38):
This is Tessa. We have an emergency. We think our
dog just turned into a frog. Over sh Holy Toledo,
not another one. I'm so sorry. That happened to you, Tessa.
We've gotten many reports of things being turned into frogs
all across our spy world. Many of our spies ever

(06:00):
did the same thing. Sh okay, But have you guys
figured out a way to turn this back sh Yes,
In fact, we have. We're gonna send you the coordinates
to a magical unicorn island that has the cure in
a waterfall. There, fly on over with the frog and
it will turn back into wherever it normally is. Over

(06:23):
and out. Tessa and Sofia had to act fast. They
strapped on their jet packs, put their little dog, Mocha
in a jar so that he would be safe while
they flew all the way to this island. All right,
I hope this works. Let's go, said Sophia as they
both blasted off towards the clouds. It was gonna be

(06:45):
a long flight, but they needed to do this because
they really missed their dog. They didn't really want to
have a pet frog. Although he was really cute, he
was really slimy. They missed their cuddly Mocha. Look, I
think that's it, said Tessa. There it was. The magical
island was over just up ahead, and they could see

(07:09):
a river with a waterfall. That must be it. Come on.
Tessa and Sofia and their new pet frog Mocha, landed
on the island and were greeted by a unicorn. Hello,
tamil haplou. Yes, uh you see this here is actually
our dog named Mocha. It somehow got turned into a frog.

(07:33):
We were sent here. Are you able to help us?
Apps o Laurlo.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Let's bringing marvels alone and let them jump into this
magic girl rider.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
What. Tessa and Sofia followed the unicorn over to this,
uh like the bottom of the waterfall. You know, like
waterfalls they usually come down a mountain and crashed down
into a river or a lake. Blow with this little
lake it had a very special glow to it. It
definitely even looked magical, and they hoped that it was

(08:04):
actually work. Tessa and Sophia knelt down and opened up
the jar that Mocha was sitting inside. Ribb it. He
hopped out of the jar and plopped right into the water.
Where'd he go? I don't see him anywhere, shouted Sophia. Oh.

(08:28):
Just then Mocha came flying up out of the water.
He was so happy to be a dog again, Mocha,
shouted Tessa and Sophia as they jumped onto their best
friend puppy. Oh, Mocha, we missed you. His wet fur
splashed all over the place, completely soaking them from head

(08:50):
to toe. H Even though I don't love getting covered
in wet dog, it's a whole lot better than a
slimy frog. And that is the end of Tessa and
Sophia's crazy adventure from today. And even though that's the
end of our story, Thankfully, our spy team stop Doctor
Stinkybreath and the Purple Ninjas from turning everything into a

(09:13):
whole bunch of slimy frogs the end. Great job, you
listened all the way to the end. And you know what, tumminers,
it's time for kid shout out. I want to say
hey to Michael from Seattle, Eleana from Singapore, Henry from England,

(09:38):
Elsey from London, Sam and Annie from Washington, DC, Peyton
from Maine, Vivian from India, and Penelope from North Carolina.
I'm so glad that you're all in the Kid George
story's family and on the spy team. We could not
stop Doctor Stinky Breath. That has crew without you, my friends.
Well you have a super you birthday and I will

(10:02):
