Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Short Stories. Guess what It's Solder Day, which means that
it's a kid's Animal Stories day. So make sure right
after this adventure that you hop on over to our
other podcast, Kids Animal Stories. I will see you there well, friends,
Today is part two of our adventure with Landon and

(00:26):
all that stinky sports equipment. Are you guys ready to
solve this stinky adventure? Me too? Let's go. As the
days ticked on, Landon had realized that this was not

(00:47):
just a prank from the Purple Ninjas. This has to
be straight from doctor Stinky Breath, said Landon. This stinky
smell must be specially formulated because there's nothing we can
do to get rid of it. We've got to call
this into HQ. He ran up to his room to
look inside of his closet for all his spy gear,
and there it was. There was his wakie talkie.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
HQ.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
This is Landon, come in over, sh hey, land and
how's it going terrible? I'm on a football team and
all of our sports equipment got stink bombed by the
Purple Ninjas, and I'm pretty sure it's all over the
world too. All sport games have been canceled due to stinkiness. Yes,

(01:34):
we've been following that, and we're glad that you called in.
We're gonna need you to call on over to S
Biology Squad and see if they have any formulations that
could help us with this over sh S Biology Squad,
thought Landon to himself. I've never worked with that department before,
but I guess it couldn't hurt. Landon switched on to

(01:56):
a different channel on his walkie talkie. You see, S
Biology Squad was a special division in our spy team.
They worked specifically with matters of science and maybe they
would have something something that could help with all this
terrible smell. Sh S Biology Squad. This is Landing. Uh

(02:18):
are you there over sh sh Hey Landing, Yeah, this
is mister Jim. Thanks for calling into Biology Squad. What's
going on over sh Landon went on to tell the
whole Spiology Squad team about this stinky, terrible mess affecting
all of the sports equipment in the world. Holy smokes,

(02:42):
that's a mess. Yeah, we've heard a couple rumors about that,
but to hear that confirmation from you is super helpful,
said mister Jim, Hey, Ava, don't we have some kind
of special soap that maybe we could formulate a like
a spray or something for us. Oh yeah, Landing said Ava,
I got something for you. I'll send it right over,
just hang tight over. Sh Ava was one of the

(03:06):
members on the Spiology Squad team and they had formulated
something amazing called Bubbleberry soap. This was a super powerful
soap that was made just for the kind of stink
that comes out of doctor Stinky Breat's lab. Ava started
working on converting the Bubbleberry soap into some kind of

(03:27):
spray so that it could be easily and quickly spread
over all of the equipment and this should instantly take
away of all the stink. Landon was sitting back in
his room, just waiting and waiting and waiting, and finally,
tap tap on his window. There's the drone. Spiology Squad
was able to send over a sample of what Ava

(03:49):
made on the drone. That was the fastest way to
get it in Landon's hands. Ooh, this is pretty cool looking.
Landon tossed the can around back and forth in his
hands and tested out the spray. Ooh, that smells so good.
All right, I gotta try it on the equipment. Landen

(04:10):
ran downstairs and out to his backyard where his equipment
was waiting. He sprayed a few sprays of the Bubbleberry soap.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
S s sh and instantly the smell was gone. Just
this means that we can get back to playing sports finally,
said Landon.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I gotta tell everyone. He called his coach to get
the whole team together. That night, they met at the
football field and everyone brought their super smelly gear. All right, guys,
I have this.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I found this amazing spray that's gonna get rid of
the smell, said Landon. Landon, We've tried everything, soap, bleach,
all kinds of sprays, even like perfume. Nothing will get
rid of the smell, said one of his teammates. Oh
but check this out, said Landon. He leaned over to

(05:08):
that kid's helmet and sprayed it in the helmet. Sh Okay,
you're gonna believe me. Now, smell your helmet. His teammate
picked up the helmet and how did you do that, Landing.
Instantly the whole team wanted that spray on their gear.
There was just enough in Landon's bottle to spray the

(05:28):
entire team's gear, but they are definitely gonna need some more. Landon,
so proud of you. Where did you find that stuff?
I've been looking for. I've tried everything, said the coach. Well,
I can't exactly answer the question, but I can get more.
Just hang tight, and I'll make sure that the whole
league gets this spray. That night, Landon spent some time

(05:51):
on the walkie talkie with biology squad making sure that
there were enough bottles made for all the teams, and
pretty soon all the teams in the whole world would
need some bubbleberry soap. Wouldn't that be awesome if there
was soap that could get rid of the stinkiest of smells,
and maybe even Doctor Stinkybreath himself.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I think we're onto something.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
That weekend, the football games resumed back to normal, all
because of Landing and this biology squad. They were able
to get rid of those terrible smells. What in the
world is going on down there, said Doctor Stinkybreath, high
up in the sky from his blimp lab. But well, unfortunately,

(06:38):
there was some kind of special soap made that got
rid of the stink. What are you talking about? I
thought you have said that there's no soap in the
whole world that could get rid of the smell. Who
who are doing? Well? Uh, We're pretty sure it was
the biology squad.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
This biology squad.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
No, wow, great job Landon and his biology squad. Wooo.
I'm so glad that sports can get back to normal
and that we can play with equipment that doesn't smell
completely terribly awful. Well, that's the end of this adventure,
but I think just the beginning of the bubble Berry

(07:23):
soap the end. Great job. You listened all the way
to the end, and you know what tell it is.
It's time for good shout out. I Hones say hey
to Ellie and Paul from Pittsburgh, Leo from Colorado, Soren

(07:43):
and Elijah from Missouri, Rowan from New York City, Tommy,
Elliott and Jake from Saint Charles, Missouri, Kennedy from Virginia,
Hamsa from Toronto, and Seed from Hong Kong. I'm so
glad that you're all in the Kids Short Stories family
and on our spy team. We could not stay doctor
Stinkybreath and his crew without you, my friends. Well, I

(08:04):
will see you over on the other podcast, Kids Animal Stories.
I'll see you there Bye.
