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 Jimman. Welcome back to kid Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from Jack and Charlie. 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 we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. And right now, I need you to smash the follow button or it might look like a plus sign, so that you don't miss out on.

Any of our stories. Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful morning when Jack and Charlie woke up. Hey you warning, Charlie, said Jack.

Huh oh, oh.

Wow, good morning, said Charlie. They were just waking up and looked out the window to a beautiful sunny day. Oh yes, I can't wait for today. We got so many amazing plans that we have to get going. They had planned a whole bunch of really fun things with their friends, and so they needed to get going so that they that they wouldn't run out of time. As Jack and Charlie put on their clothes for the day and brushed their teeth, they came downstairs and whoa what happened in here? There was a giant mess. It looks like a bulldozer came through here, said Charlie as they looked around. Yes, it was a big, big mess. There were huge messes on the floor and stuff got knocked over, and holy smokes, what in the world happened last night? As Jack and Charlie looked around for their au pair, their nanny, Hello, are you here? They shout outed, it was all silent. Wait a second, Charlie said Jack. Something's not right. Not only is this mess really strange, but nobody else is here. They're gone done dun dun. As Jack and Charlie realized that their nanny, their up air, was missing, they got a little scared. If you were home alone, would that be a little scary? Yes, I would feel the same way. Is anybody here? Shouted Charlie. There was still no reply. Jack and Charlie were there in the middle of a giant mess. They needed to figure this out. Jack, come over here, said Charlie. He was pointing at this big spill on the floor. But I don't think that's a spill. Look, it looks like those are TOAs. Jack couldn't believe it. Wait, those that's not a spill, that's a giant footprint. That footprint is almost as big as me. What in the world would leave that big of a footprint, shouted Jack. His hands were on the top of his head because he couldn't believe what he was looking at. They had discovered some kind of ginormous footprint with very big toes. Charlie thought for a second and said, wait, I've seen that footprint before. That's a dinosaur footprint, what said Jack. That's not possible. There must be a logical explanation for this. No, I'm serious, said Charlie. Come here, look at this. Charlie ran over to where some books were and pulled out a dinosaur book that he had been looking at earlier in the week. He flipped through the pages and yeah, right here his finger was pointing to a page of a supersaurus and it had a picture of its footprint, and it looked exactly like the one that was in the middle of their kitchen downstairs. The two boys looked at each other, blinking their eyes very slowly. Jack, what are we gonna do? I think a dinosaurs like taking our pairs? They're gone. Jack only thought for a split second, and then he remembered, dude, we've got a call into HQ. Yes, let's go. They ran upstairs to the room to check their spigyar, grab their walkie and said, HQ, HQ, come in, this is an emergency over sh HQ.

Here, what's going on? Jack and Charlie. Something terrible happened last night? Our uppairs are missing and there's dinosaur footprints inside our house. Uh come again, did you say dinosaur footprints?

Yes, yes we did, said Charlie. Well, we have had several missing reports of nannies and au pears that are have just disappeared, but we have not heard anything about dinosaur footprints. We're gonna send a team. Just keep gathering more clues over and out, sh Jack, did you hear that there's other up airs and nannies that are gone? This has to be connected, said Charlie. The two of them grabbed the rest of their gear and put it all on and grab their shoes and headed outside to look for more clues. All right, Jack, I need you to check the front yard. I'm gonna go check the backyard, said Charlie. Roger That said Jack as he ran towards the front yard. He started to look everywhere, and everything seemed right in place, like there wasn't anything disturbed. If you know, if there really was a big dinosaur that walked through here, he did not come this way. Jack, get to the backyard now.

Said Charlie.

As Jack ran back to the backyard to meet up with Charlie, he was greeted by something that he was not expecting. In their backyard, one of their trees had been knocked over, and there was a whole trail that led straight to the forest. Uh, Charlie, you don't think it went back there, do you. I think that's exactly what it means, said Charlie. We've gotta go or all bear could be in trouble and gotta go rescue them. Let's go, said Charlie. Jack and Charlie kept very low to the ground to make sure that you know, they gotta sneak up. They can't let these dinosaurs know that they're coming.

Well.

Back in the deep deep forest, they heard a lot of noises. What are all the sounds?

Said Jack. S sh keep your voice down.

Said Charlie as he whispered, I think those are the dinosaurs deep in the forest. You gotta keep going, but let's head a little bit to the east.

Come this way.

Jack and Charlie started crouching lower and lower as they hid behind bushes and brush along the way. As they kept hiking and crawling east, they saw something ahead. On this other side of the forest. There was a hill that went up and a cave that was built into that hill, and sure enough, there it was. He is a supersaurus, said Charlie. He couldn't believe it. How did this happen? I don't know, Charlie, said Jack, but I'm pretty sure all the nannies and our pears there inside that cave. We gotta save them. As Jack and Charlie got closer and closer, they radioed in the position to HQ. HQ, this is our position. We're sending you the GPS location, and this is where there's a cave where we see a dinosaur at the front entrance of it. This has gotta be where all the nannies are. Over sh, we've received the location. Great job, Just hang tight, we'll send a team over sh.

What do you think you're doing here?

As Jack and Charlie turned around, there was one of the supersuruses standing over them. Ah wait, don't eat us, don't eat us, shouted Jack.

What we're not I'm not gonna eat you? Are you kidding me? I'm a vegetarian. Now, Well answer my question. What are you doing here?

We're just here because our au pair, and we've heard other nannies they're missing, said Charlie. And and we were pretty sure that you stole them. Did you kidnap our a pair? Jack and Charlie stood up, tall and brave to this big, big dinosaur.

What well, yeah, kind of. We didn't exactly steal them, but we needed their help. You see, we have all these baby dinosaurs that won't stop crying and it's making us crazy. They needed help of a professional, and that's why we needed to borrow all the nannies. You what.

The dinosaur then brought Jack and Charlie back to the cave, which was a very loud cave. There were tons of crying baby dinosaurs that all the nannies were helping take care of. I guess the dinosaurs had actually needed help, and they went to the nannies and our pears to help with the babies. Great job, Jack and Charlie, you guys solved this mystery of the missing nannies and all pears. But I guess now we have a very new important job. We gotta take care of baby dinosaurs. Well, I think this is the end of this adventure, but just the beginning of Jack and Charlie's baby dinosaur adventure.

The end.

Great job, you listened all the way to the end, and you know what time it is.

It's time for curd shout out.

I want to say hey to Thatcher from Alberta, Canada, Atticus and Silas from Pittsburgh, Sebastian from Maine, Teddy and Julian from North Carolina, Asher from New Zealand, Ivana from Germany, and kissem from Toronto, Canada. 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 crew without you, my friends.

Will.

I hope you have a super duper ay and look out for those baby dinosaurs. I'll see you next time. Bye.
