Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Short Stories. I cannot wait for this last part of
Januie and Josh's adventure into this fantasy world. How are
they going to stop the Purple Ninjas and how are
they going to get out of there? Somehow all of
the Spy Team secrets are at risk right now. I

(00:25):
don't know how this is going to end. But are
you ready for today's adventure?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Me too?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Let's go. As Januie and Josh were hiding behind their
Candy mansion watching the Purple Ninjas figure out this fantasy world,
Josh was about to learn something very important. All right,

(00:53):
jan wee, We've really got to figure out how this
place works. I wonder if there's like rules or instructions
or directions or something. Oh, I bet I could just
imagine to get the instructions. Let's see, Josh closed his
eyes and imagine that the Fantasy world had directions of

(01:13):
how it all worked. As he opened his eyes, ha,
look at this. He was holding the entire instruction manual
of the Fantasy World. Wow, that was a really good idea,
Josh said Janey as they opened it up and started
to read. They learned all about the different rules. It says,
you can't imagine to hurt anyone. Okay, that's good. You

(01:37):
can't imagine to bring these powers back into the real world. Okay, okay,
but how do you get out of here? Where does
that say? Oh? It says in order to leave, you
must say game over. After a participant says game over,
all participants in the fantasy world will leave the book perfect.

(02:01):
We just have to find the right time to say that. Like,
we got to get rid of those secrets out of
the Purple Ninja's hands, and then we can say game
I don't want to say the other part, but we
can then end the game for everyone, including the Purple Ninjas. Wow, Josh,
you're so smart, said jan Wei. They had a pretty

(02:23):
good plan. Not only did they figure out how to
leave an end the game, but they were holding the
instruction manual for the entire world.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
All right, guys, So we got to finish up all
the things that the boss wanted us to do, and
then we got to find a way to get out
of here.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, but how do we get out of here? And
why would we ever want to leave this place? Is
is pretty awesome. I can eat as much ice cream
as I want.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh, come on, guys, we have to follow the boss's instructions.
You say, he wanted us to not only get all
the same grets, but he also wanted us to get
everything on this list.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You see, they were holding a list. I don't even
know what was on that list, but it looks like
there's a lot of things that doctor Stinky Breaths wants
to steal. Okay, Josh, we gotta act fast. I think
we're running out of time, said Januey. All right, I'm
going to imagine like the biggest uh safe ever that

(03:26):
you can't even unlock. It's, yeah, an unlockable safe, and
I need you to figure out a way to get
that book of all the spy secrets out of their
hands and into the safe. Can you do that? Said Josh.
I'm on it. Janwi started imagining a creature that would
be so scary that the Purple Ninjas would scream and

(03:46):
maybe drop the book. Then the creature would grab the
book and bring it over. All right, I gotta think
really scary. Janui started imagining a giant monster with pink
no uh orange, orange fluffy fur, with two big eyes
and horns. And oh yeah, and he sounds like this. Wow.

(04:10):
Janwe is pretty good at imagining a big hairy monster.
It's like she's had practice before. If you could imagine
a big hairy, scary creature, what would you imagine to
try and scare the Purple Ninjas away? All right, Josh,
look it's over there. It's in the woods. Janui's creature

(04:32):
that she had imagined was hiding behind a tree, ready
to scare the Purple Ninjas when it was already all right,
I got my safe. Look, Josh had imagined a safe
that was completely unbreakable and you couldn't even get inside.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Great, all right, go rah.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Her big orange, fluffy monster came tearing out from the forest,
and the Purple Ninjas couldn't believe it. Ah Ron is
after us. The Purple Ninjas dropped the Book of Secrets
and ran off as fast as they could. They didn't
even know where they were running, and they ran right
into each other.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Bunk, oh ah.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh oh, where my ice cream?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Go?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Come on?

Speaker 2 (05:26):
We gotting it up.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
As they grabbed the Book of Secrets and locked it
up in the safe, game over shouted Josh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Janui and Josh were transported back out of the book
as well as the Purple Ninjas. All four of them

(05:51):
landed inside their attic at once. Whoah ow oh jan We,
it's Purple Ninjas. Quick, get a net shooter. Jan We
grabbed her net shooter and shot it towards the Purple Ninjas.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Hah, you missed me. I'm out of here.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Oh no, oh, I'm kind of stok. No one of
the Purple Ninjas has been caught. The other escaped, but
they called it into HQ and HQ arrived. This was
the very first Purple Ninja that we've ever caught before.
Whoa great job, Januie and Josh. You saved all of

(06:35):
the Spice secrets and now maybe we'll learn a little
bit more about Purple Ninjas now that we have one
of them in captivity. Wow. What an awesome adventure of
Januie and Josh. And what in the world is this
fantasy book that they've found. I think this is just
the beginning of that fantasy world and the imaginations and

(06:58):
adventures that Januie and Josh are going to partake. We'll
see you next time friends the end. Great job you
listened all the way to the end. And you know

(07:19):
