Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit
Short Stories. Today's story is a very special story because
we built it together live on Instagram. I'm actually live
right now with a whole bunch of friends all around
the world who had a whole bunch of awesome ideas
and we made this awesome story. So if you want
to be on our next story build, make sure you

(00:24):
ask your parents to follow the Instagram for Kids Short Stories. Well,
this one is going to be an amazing adventure. Are
you ready for today's story? Me too, Let's go. It
was a beautiful winter morning when high up the mountain

(00:49):
lived a legendary dog named Ruffs Roof Roof. Ruffs lived
in a cave that was never before seen by any buddy.
But there was one kid, one very brave kid, that
was about to go on an amazing adventure. All right,
Mom and dad, I'll see you later, shouted Yash. He

(01:13):
headed out the door on his adventure. He had all
of his gear in his backpack, you know, water and snacks,
hiking boots, the whole deal. This is going to be
an amazing adventure. He had read stories and legends about
to place high up on mount Everest where there was

(01:37):
a cave with this legendary dog, a dog that no
one had ever seen before, but everyone had always wanted
because they said it had magical powers. I don't know
about you, but I've never seen a dog with magical powers.
But if I could, I definitely would go on that adventure.

(02:03):
As Yash was huffing and puffing his way up the mountain,
it was a very steep climb, and one that he
was very thankful that he brought warm jackets and warm
clothes because it was very, very cold. As Yash made
his way up the trail, he saw all kinds of

(02:25):
amazing things. He said, whoa, I can see my house
from here. He was very high up Mount Everest, but
he still had a long way to go. As he
stopped to take a drink of water, he heard something

(02:45):
in the leaves nearby. As he turned around, he saw
that whoa, there's a meteor shower and they're actually falling
on the mountain. Take cover. Yosh ran and hid underneath
some trees that were nearby. Thankfully they were big enough

(03:06):
to protect him from the falling meteors that were falling
from the sky. And then it stopped, but these meteors.
They had a very special glow to them. I've never
seen meteors before, but what Yash saw is amazing. They

(03:27):
had this orange glow to them, which was pretty amazing.
And Yosh didn't know if that meant they were like
lava rocks or if they had some kind of magical power. Well,
it was magic, but Yash would not learn that quite yet.

(03:48):
Yash continued hiking up the trail further and further, and
closer he and closer he came to that magical cave.
You see, that magical cave was hidden behind a wall
of snow so deep, and that's kind of why nobody

(04:09):
had ever seen it before. As he hiked up the
mountain further and further, he saw it ahead. You see,
he was following a map that he had found in
an old book, and this map was actually strangely accurate.
As he got closer and closer, he stood right in

(04:30):
front of a giant snow wall. Wow, that is a
big snow wall, said Yash, as he grabbed his little
pocket shovel out of his backpack. He pulled it out
and it was pretty cool. It's a very cool shovel.
It was pretty small and you could fold it open
to make it bigger. Quick As he opened the shovel up,

(04:54):
he started digging and digging and digging through the snow
wall he went. With each shovel full of snow, he
was one little bit closer to seeing if this mystery
and legend was true. And finally, whow, he fell right

(05:19):
through the hole that he had dug into a cave.
Was this the cave that we have been searching for?
Is this the cave? I'm not quite sure. Yash grabbed
his flashlight out of his backpack, turned it on and
started looking around. Hello, Hello, and there there there was

(05:42):
a little bit of an echo because he was in
a cave, And just then he heard a sound huf,
huf huff. Yasha's eyes got very large. They were very
big because he was prize to actually hear the sound

(06:02):
of a dog in the cave. Could that be the
legendary dog? Hello? Hello, my name is Yash. Are you
actually reel back there? Are you a real dog? Woof
of course I am, Come on back, roof, roof. Yosh

(06:23):
took a few steps further with his flashlight holding shone
it back in the back of the cave, and all
of a sudden, he saw two big eyeballs staring right
back at him from the glow of his flashlight. Yosh
dropped the flashlight and curled up in a ball on
the floor. He wasn't sure if this was a good
dog or a bad dog. Roof, Oh, don't be afraid,

(06:48):
don't you worry. As Yosh picked himself back up, his
flashlight started to hover off the ground. What is going on,
shouted Yosh. Oh whoof calm now, the flashlight floated right
into Yash's hand. Is this a magical flashlight? Or wait

(07:11):
a second, is a legend real? Yash turned to the dog,
and the dog said, rough, you have saved me. I
have been trapped in this cave for many years. But yes,
the legend is true. I am a magical, magical dog.
My name is Ruff's and I need your help. Yash.

(07:34):
Can you help me on a giant adventure. We must
save the world because Mount Everest is about to explode
into a giant volcano. Whoa what this is not supposed
to be a volcano. What are you talking about? Said Yash. Exactly.

(07:55):
I need your help or else we're all in a big,
big heap of trouble. Holy smokes, what in the world
has yosh just stumbled into? Is this for real? Did
he really find the giant legendary dog named Ruffs with
magical powers? I'm pretty sure it sounds real, But we're

(08:17):
have to gonna come back to the next episode to
see what happens next the end. Great job, you listened
all the way to the end, and you know what

(08:38):
time it is. It's time for kid shout out Z.
I want to say hey to Jack and Charlie from Denver, Colorado,
Maverick in Santiago from San Diego, Zev from Florida, Adeline
from California, Silence from Indiana, Joanna from Ottawa, Canada, Jed,
