About Mr. Jim:

Hi! I'm Jim Jacob, a South Carolina based creator. I started as a podcaster by accident. Our first real episodes on the internet were me trying to find a solution to help tell my sons stories as I was traveling for work. I recorded some stories and hoped that by uploading them to a podcast app, my wife and kids could have easy access to listen. What started as a fix for our family’s bedtime routine interruption has grown into a worldwide audience with hundreds of thousands of listeners. My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from Kaylin and Eleanna. Hey guys, they sent me an awesome idea for a story, and you can too. Just head over to kidshort stories dot com. Send me your idea and maybe you we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for an adventure about a lost creature in their swimming pool? What is gonna happen? Well, me too, let's go. Kaylin and Eleianna had just woken up. It was the day after there was a big hurricane that came nearby. Do you know what a hurricane is or a typhoon? Yeah, they're big storms that come over the ocean, and sometimes they're pretty scary. But thankfully the one last night night, it wasn't that bad. It was more like a big thunderstorm. Well, Kaylin and Eleana were eager to look out the window and see if there were branches down in their yard. Whoa look at that one, said Kaylan? And that one look over there. Ellianna had found a big branch that had fallen off a tree and a bunch of stuff that had blown into their yard. From who knows where, but I guess it was really windy last night. Hey, Kaylen and Eleana, we need you to go into the swimming pool and help us clean it out. There's a whole bunch of branches and stuff that has blown into the pool and we need your help cleaning it out. Okay, Kaylen and Eleanna ran to go grab their swimsuits and put them on. They loved helping. Do you like helping with jobs and really special projects around your house with your parents? Yeah, that's a great thing to be a super duper helper. And Kaylen and Eliana they were very eager to save the day after this big storm. After they put on their swimsuits, they ran downstairs to go towards their pool. They started pulling out these big branches that were floating at the top, and then all of a sudden, Ellianna saw something swim by. Kaylan, there's some there's something in the water. What are you talking about. It's just start swimming pool, said Kaylan. Nothing lives in here. No, I promise I saw something swim It was very scary looking, but I don't know what it was. I don't see anything, said Kaylan. Ellan was very careful in pulling out another branch because she had definitely seen something. She pulled out the next branch out of the water. It's a shark, she shouted. Kaylan started laughing hysterically because he thought she was joking, but she was not. Get out of here, Eleianna, you're hilarious. Just hand me that branch.

No, I'm serious.

Look. Kaylan leaned over and took another look inside of the pool, and sure enough, there's a shark, shouted Kaylin. How did that get here? We don't have sharks in our pool. Ellianna and Kaylan were very confused, but then they realized, wait a second, remember that big storm last night. You see all this stuff that I don't like. I don't know where that came from, and we don't have palm trees in our yard. Those palm branches must have come from a really far place. I wonder if the storm somehow brought the shark here. Can you please help me? The shark can talk, Kaylin and Eleianna jumped away from the pool. The shark was about two feet long. It was a little baby. Eh. I really need help. I somehow got lost and stuck inside this big water trap. And I can't get back to the ocean. Can you help me? Oh, hello, little shark, said Eliana. It's actually not a trap. This is our swimming pool. This is where we swim to play. But I think that big storm somehow brought you here. Do you promise that you're not gonna bite us?

Said Kaylan. I promise. I just want to get back to my family in the ocean. Oh, yes, certainly, we'll help you. Eliana and Kaylan ran over to their garage. Had to find a wagon and a big enough bucket for this shark to swim in. All right, Uh, yeah, here's our wagon. But Kaylan, can you find it like a huge tub or something that we could balance on top of this wagon. Maybe that'll be good enough to get the shark to the ocean. They only lived a couple streets over from the beach, and so it was close enough to walk. Yeah, here's a big tub, said Kaylen. They put the tub on top of the wagon and filled it up with some water. All right, I don't know how we're gonna get that shark in here. I hope he doesn't try to bite us, said Kaylan. Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine. He seems really nice, said Aliana. They brought the wagon with the bucket of water over to the swimming pool.

All right, little shark, what's your name? My name's my name's Sammy. I'm really I'm really scared. I've never been out of the ocean before. Oh, don't be afraid. Well, we were kind of afraid of you, but now that we see that you're friendly, please just know that we're friendly too. We're gonna help you get back to the ocean, said Aliana. Kaylin reached for the big pool Scooper net. That was a big net that they used to get the leaves out of the pool. They never thought that they'd have to get a shark out of the pool. Kaylan scooped up the shark was very heavy in the net, and carefully placed him in the big bucket. Huh, thank you. All right, how do we get back to the ocean, said Sammy the shark. Uh, well, we're going to walk there. It's uh, it'll only take a couple of minutes. Don't worry, Kaylen and Eliana. They started walking towards the beach, and they actually became really good friends with Sammy. On their way, they talked about all kinds of cool things, some things that Sammy didn't know. Well, there was a lot of things that Sammy didn't know because he was a shark and wasn't a person. But there were also a lot of things that Kaylin and Eliana didn't know either. That's the cool thing about making a new friend when you're not expecting it. You learn all kinds of new things, maybe the things that they like to talk about, or the things that they like to do. And Kaylin and Eliana they learned that this shark really love to go surfing on the waves, that he likes to ride the waves on his belly. As Kaylan, Ellianna, and Sammy the shark arrived at the beach, they were a little sad that they had to say goodbye, but they knew that the shark needed to return back to the ocean. Thank you so much for saving me, Kaylen and Eliana said, Sammy, I never could have done this without you. I would have been stuck in that pool forever. All right, Well, I gotta get back to my family. Maybe I'll see you again later.

Bye.

As Sammy swam off in the ocean, there a very very happy shark. Kaylin and Eleiana couldn't believe it. Did that storm really bring a baby shark into our swimming pool? Wow? That is a pretty crazy storm, said Kaylan. Yeah, well, I guess we gotta go back and clean up some more stuff in the yard. I wonder what we'll find next, said Eliana. And that is the story about Kaylin and Eleiana his experience with a giant, well not so giant, but a hurricane that brought a shark into their swimming pool. Wow. I don't know if that will ever happen to me or you, but I'm glad it happened to Kaylin and Eliana the end. Great job, you listened all the way to the end, and you know what tem it is. It's time for good shout out. I want to say hey to ting Ting from Ontario, Levi from Pennsylvania, John and Lizzie from Texas, Oliver and Quinton from New York City, Alice from Ontario, Colette and Emogan from Ireland, Owen and Adelaide from Maine, and Skyland from Arizona. I'm so glad that you're all in the Kid Short Stories family and on our spy team. We could not stop doctor Stinky Breath and his team without you, my friends. Well you have a super duper day and I will see you on our next adventure. Bye. M.
