Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello, friends, It's mister Jim and welcome back to kid
Short Stories. Do you know what makes these stories ten
times better?

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Listening with a friend. So right now, I want you
to think of two friends that you want your parents
to text this episode too, so that you guys can
listen to it together. Today's story comes to us from Landon. Hey, Landon,
he sent me an awesome idea for a story, and
you can too. Just outu to Kidshortstories dot com. Send
me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into an
awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a pretty stinky adventure?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Me?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Two, let's go. It was a beautiful fall day and
Landon was getting ready for football. He loved playing football
and was so excited to finally be on a real team.

(00:55):
Have you ever played on a real team before? Maybe
soccer or or basketball, baseball? There are so many different
fun sports to play, and Landon really loved football. All
the equipment, like the helmet and the pads and the jersey. Oh,
it was so cool when you put it all on.

(01:17):
As his family loaded up in the car to drive
over to the field, he just couldn't wait to make
some awesome plays out with his team. All right, Landon,
we're almost there. When we get there, do you need
help with carrying all your gear over to the field. No,
I don't need help. I got this, said Landon. There

(01:37):
was a lot of gear that he needed to carry,
and it was pretty heavy, but Landon was extra strong.
His parents parked the car and out he hopped, grabbing
his bag and throwing it over his back. And it
was really heavy.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh yeah, oh oh it's it's not as bad as it.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I can do this, said Landon. It was very heavy,
but he was going to do it. He dragged the
bag all the way to where his team was. You see,
they had to do some initial warm ups before they
would put on all their pads and stuff. So all
the the equipment was in a big pile, and so

(02:17):
he added his bag next to the pile.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
All right, team, I need you to do three laps.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Ready, go, shouted the coach Landing, and all the teams
started running around the field. Three laps. That was a
lot of running, but it was important to get ready
for the game. Hey guys, how you doing, said Landon
as they were all running together. Hey, Landing, we're doing great.

(02:49):
You get Oh, there's a lot of running. Oh, holy cow, Landing,
slow down, no way, said Landon. We gotta do this
fast to get ready. Landon and the whole team was
running their first lap around the field. Hey, Landon, who's
that guy over there by our equipment? Landon turned around

(03:10):
and looked as he was running there was Holy smokes,
that's that's a purple ninja, said Landon. The purple ninja
dropped something amidst all the equipment that was in that
big pile, all their helmets and pads and all the
stuff for football. And Landon was on the other side

(03:31):
of the field. Hurry, guys, we have to get over
there and see what he just dropped in there fast. Yeah,
but who is that? Said one of his teammates. I
can't exactly answer that question right now, but he's not
a good guy. We got a hurry. As they were

(03:52):
running around the field to get back to their equipment,
that purple ninja vanished. Landon was the first to arrive
all the equipment. Oh, it smells horrible. What happened here
is they were digging around in their equipment. Landon found it.
There's a stink bomb in here. Oh gross. The whole

(04:17):
team started plugging their noses. Ah, that is terrible, Landed.
Did you know that guy? Is he like playing a
prank on us? Said one of his teammates. Oh that
does smell pretty bad, said Landon. No, well, yes, I
do know. I can't really talk about it. It's kind

(04:38):
of a secret. All I know is that we gotta
clean this off fast before that stink just settles into
our equipment. That would be terrible if we play the
game smelling like that. The whole team spread out their equipment,
hoping that the smell would go away, but unfortunately, it
only got worse. Coaches, coaches come to the center field,

(05:00):
said the refs. The coaches from both teams ran out
to the center field talking to the refs.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
This game has been canceled due too smelly equipment on
both teams. Go home and wash and make sure that
you're ready for the next game, said the refs.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh no, said Landon. He was so bummed that their
first game had been canceled. Wouldn't that be really sad?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
I don't like when my games get canceled? What about you? Yeah?
Mean either? Well? Landon grabbed all of his equipment and
his parents said, there's no way, we're letting that in
our car. Uh? But what am I supposed to do
with it? Said Landon? Uh, huh, gross. I guess we'll

(05:51):
have to maybe put the windows down as we're driving.
All right, let's hurry up and get home and get
those things washed. Landon loaded up the car with all
that smelly equipment, said goodbye to all of his teammates,
and off he drove with his family. When they got home,
they immediately started washing the equipment, but there was nothing

(06:11):
they could do to get rid of that terrible smell.
Have you ever had something smell really stinky before? Yes? Yeah,
sometimes my socks can get pretty stinky. Oh gross, So
we need to put him in the washing machine, right yeah,
and get them all clean. Well, football equipment and some
things are kind of hard to wash. So his parents

(06:35):
filled a big bucket up with water and soap and
told Landon that all that stuff needed to soak in
that soapy water overnight, at least overnight, and hopefully that
would get rid of the smell. Unfortunately, day after day passed,
it had been a whole week, and the smell had

(06:56):
only gotten worse. It had gotten so bad that they
had to keep all that stuff outside, and worst of all,
it had affected every single team in the whole wide world.
All sports equipment had become completely smelly stinky.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
W oh, Burbon Ninjas, what have we done?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
This is such a marvelous plan that they just could
not have done without you. Thanks boss.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Well, yeah, those stink pops worked perfectly when we dropped
them in all the sports equipment piles. And now that
all the teams are really smelly, there's no more sport games, hi,
which means no more fun.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
That is perfect. And you're sure that the stinky stuff
it can't be washed away right your shirt?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh definitely. There's no soap in the all wine world
that has ever existed that could get rid of this
stink or making the world stinky?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh no, what have the Purple Ninjas done to make
all of the sports equipment in the world stinky? Canceling
all of our games? This is terrible and I think
we're gonna need some help from h Q and this
biology squad. We'll see you on the next adventure. Bye.

(08:35):
Great job. You listened all the way to the end,
and you know what time it is. It's time for
good shout out. I want to say, hey, to Wyatt
from British Columbia, row In from Portland, Oregon, Natalie from Perth, Australia,
Rose and Annie from Ontario, Luke from North Carolina, Beckett
and Foster from Ontario, Kyle and Peyton from South Paris, Maine.

(08:58):

and on our spy team. We could not stop doctor
Sinky Breath and his crew without you, my friends. Will
you have a super duper day and I will see
you on our next adventure. Bye.
