Hey friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kit
Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from Teddy and Mabel.
Hey guys, they sent me an awesome idea for a story,
and you can too. Just head over to kid short
stories dot com. Send me your idea and maybe you
will turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys
ready for an amazing story about abominable snowman in the mountains?
(00:29):
We do, let's go. Today was the day that Teddy
and Mabel We're gonna go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
Have you ever seen very big mountains before? Mountains are
(00:53):
so cool and sometimes very very big. And at the
very top of big, big, big mountains, do you know
that white stuff up there? Yeah, snow. Where I live
there is not very much snow. And so when we
go visit the mountains and see snow at the top,
that is really cool. Well, Teddy and Maybel, we're very
(01:17):
excited to go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. They packed
all their hiking gear, put on their hiking boots, and
we're ready for an amazing adventure. Mabel, are you ready?
Said Teddy? Yep, I got all my stuff. Could you
grab the water bottles for us. Yeah, Teddy went to
grab two water bottles. That's really important when you're going
(01:40):
on a hiking adventure. You gotta stay hydrated and drink
plenty of water. Well, Teddy and Mabel had all their
things ready and them in their family. They were ready
for an amazing adventure. They drove out way far into
the mountains where the trail had beat in. Do you
(02:01):
know what a trail head means? Yeah, trail head means
it's like the beginning of a trail, like the head.
If the trail was a body and the trail head
was the top, that is the starting point. Teddy and
Mabel had planned out this adventure for a very long time.
They even had maps of this trail, and they knew
(02:22):
that this trail would lead them all the way to
some snow, which would be really cool to see in
the summertime when it's not snowing that snow it melts
and it turns to what is what happens when snow melts?
Does it turn to lava or candy or water? Water? Yes? Yes, yes,
(02:46):
of course snow melts and turns to water which starts
flowing into rivers or waterfalls, and it's really really cold water.
If you touch it, it would make you shiver and
maybe turn you instantly to ice. And but no, it
won't turn neat ice. But it's very cold. And Teddy
(03:08):
and Mabel really wanted to see the beginning of where
these rivers started from the melting snow. They had a
long hike ahead of them. It was gonna take several
hours to get there, but it was worth it. Oh, Teddy,
could you check the map? Teddy pulled out the map,
(03:28):
and hey, it looks like we're getting closer. They had
already been hiking for several hours. Teddy, Mabel and their
parents were working really hard to get up this very
tall mountain. Up ahead, they heard a strange sound. What
was that? Was that a mountain lion? Everybody, hold still,
(03:54):
don't run, don't move a muscle. Teddy, Mabel and their
family all stood ill. It's not good to run away
from a bear or something scary. You gotta stand your
ground and make you look really big and brave. All right,
I don't hear it anymore. Let's keep walking. They kept walking,
(04:16):
and it's a good thing that sound didn't come from
the direction that they were headed. Because that wouldn't be
smart if you were to walk towards that scary sound.
But it was off to the side. Then they saw
some trees start to shake, and all of a sudden,
there was Teddy and Mabel both started to scream, and
(04:38):
so did the big monster sturt it bed it yelled,
be a second, what what are you? It looked like
a ginormous white bear, but not like a bowler bear.
But I don't know. I'm him me abominable snowman. And
(05:02):
what are you doing up here? Who are you? Well?
My name is Mabel and this is Teddy and parents,
and we were coming on a hiking adventure. And we're
really sorry that we scared you. Will you kind of
scared us too? Oh? Well, I'm sorry for scaring you.
But you see, there's this evil man here. He's trying
(05:23):
to steal all the water, the clean snow melt, and
I'm I have to stop him. Wait, who is trying
to steal the water? I don't know, but he's very stinky,
and I don't know why he wants all this water.
Teddy and Mabel looked at each other. Did he just
(05:45):
say stinky? Said Teddy. Mabel turned and looked at the
Abominable Snowman and said, does he look like this? They
pulled out a picture and the Abominable snow oh Man
shook his head. Yes, Yes, that's exactly what he looks.
How do you have a picture of him? It's Doctor
(06:08):
Stinky Breath. Done, done done. Teddy and Mabel were on
the spy team and we're always on the lookout for
Dr Stinky Breath, and they never imagine that he would
be way up here in the mountains. Okay, well, we
gotta figure out a way to help this abominable Snowman
stop Doctor Stinky Breath. I don't know why he wants
(06:31):
this water, but it's probably for something evil. Teddy and
Mabel and their whole family put on their spy gear
and got to work. All right, Mr Abominable Snowman said Teddy,
we're gonna need you to hide, and then when that
Doctor Stinky Breath comes out again, you're gonna need to
scare him as with the biggest roar that you possibly can.
(06:55):
Can you do that? I don't know if I can.
He's he's very scary looking. You're the Abominable Snowman, said Mabel.
Everyone is afraid of you. You can do this? Are
you sure? I guess the Abominable Snowman was not very confident.
(07:16):
Do you know what it means to be confident? Being
confident means that you're sure of yourself and your abilities.
So this Abominable Snowman, who I know, we can all
agree that he is very scary looking and shouldn't have
any problem scaring off doctor Stinky Breath, he needs to
believe that. For himself confidence it's not about being you know,
(07:37):
I'm better than you, but it's just about believing what's true.
The Abominable Snowman needs to believe and be confident that
he can scare off doctor Stinky Breath. All right, well,
I guess I can try. We know that you can,
said Teddy, Okay, how do you do well? Sometimes we
(08:03):
like we choose to be brave as on the spy team,
when we count to three, then it helps us be brave. Okay,
I guess I can try that. The Abominable Snowman took
to his secret position where he was gonna high and
then jump out and scare off doctor Stinky Breath. He
hid in some bushes and to himself he counted a
(08:25):
three one two. Oh, dear three all. You should have
seen Dr Stinky Breath's face. He was so afraid of
that scared abominable snow Man he ran for the hills
and was never seen there again. He had given up
(08:47):
in his pursuit of collecting this very special cold water.
Great job, Mr Abominable Snowman, shouted Mabel. Yeah, I guess
I didn't do a good job. Thanks for helping with
me believing in myself, the Abominable snowman who knew that
(09:09):
he even needed to believe in himself and have some confidence.
Great job, Teddy and Mabel. You saved the day the end.
Great job you listen all the way to the end,
and you know what somebody is. It's time for kid
