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. You have got to make sure that you are at our live game show happening on Instagram for Kids Short Stories, So make sure that you follow Kid Short Stories Instagram. You can find that link down below. I will be asking trivia questions about Kid Short Stories and the first one that comments the answer will win something amazing. February twenty first, one pm Eastern. I will see you there. Are you guys ready for today's story from Jack and Lennon?
Me too? Let go.
It was a beautiful day as Jack was outside cleaning some of the telescopes. Yes, you see, Jack worked at a very secret location that I can't even tell you where it is, but it has a whole bunch of telescopes because his job on the spy team is to make sure that space is safe. Space can be an endless place for endless mysteries because there is no end to it. So that is why we use telescopes. Telescopes help kids like Jack look really really far so that you can still be on our planet while looking at another Jack.
Are you in there?
Shouted Lenin, Hey.
Lenin, Yeah, I'm over here. Come on in.
Jack and Lenin are brother and sister, and they both love to look through the telescopes. You see.
Jack is the one working there, but he.
Also he loves to have Lenin come visit sometimes. Jack, you have to tell me. I've always wondered which planet is your favorite one. You've shown me all of them, but which one's your favorite. Jack didn't even take a second to answer. Oh, it's definitely Jupiter, said Jack. It's so amazing. It's the I guess planet in our solar system and it has this really cool red spot on it that it's just it looks so cool. You have to see it for yourself. The two of them started walking over to the biggest telescope of them all. It was not your average telescope that you might maybe have at home. This one was ginormous. It even had buttons to push in order to move like it was way too big for us to move. It had to be motorized by pushing a button. All right, now it's in position, said Jack. Just have to lock in on the coordinates. He grabbed a keyboard and started typing a whole bunch of numbers that I don't even know what it was, but I guess it's some kind of coordinate so that the you know, the telescope knows exactly where to point, because the sky is pretty big and Jupiter is only in one spot, so you have to know exactly where to point the telescope. The telescope had locked into the position. All right, Lenin, take a look. Lenon hopped into the seat and pressed her eye against the telescope lens. Huh, oh, wow, there it is, She said. That is a really cool planet. But I don't see a red spot anywhere. What are you talking about? Said Jack? It's ginormous. How can you miss it?
Let me see.
Lenin leaned back as Jack pressed his eye against the telescope and his mouth dropped open. What what in the world where did the red spot go? Shouted Jack.
It's gone. Dun, dun, dun. Could it have like fallen off? Asked Lenin. Oh, that's impossible. Hold on.
Jack raced over to a computer and started typing away. He was pulling up a report to show the most recent activity of Jupiter, and as he printed out all the reports, he couldn't believe it. Look at this, It is not supposed to spin that fast, look, Lenin didn't quite understand what reports she was looking at, but it was all in red and red on reports. That usually means there's a problem there.
Okay.
Basically what you understand is the Jupiter is supposed to spin it at a certain speed, but it's like spinning over a thousand times faster than normal. That can't be possible, except if there's somebody out there doing it to Jupiter, and that could have messed up the location of that red spot. I don't know what else to do, but I have got to get to space. Do you want to come with?
Lenin? Couldn't believe it? Yes? Could I please come with?
That? Sounds awesome? All right, there's some extra space gear over there in that closet. We better get going. Let's go. Jack and Lenin put on all this space gear and hopped into a rocket ship. You see, since Jack is on our space squad, it's his job to protect space, and every once in a while, something crazy happens in space that he sees through the telescope and he has to blast off the space to save the day. And it looks like today is one of those days.
Three two one.
The rocket blast off, leaving planet Earth on a NonStop flight to Jupiter. Whoa, this is awesome, shouted Lenin as she was holding on tight to the armrests on chair. Yes, I know, but it's gotta go even faster. We've got to get there now in order to stop Jupiter from blowing up. If it continues spinning at that speed, it will surely self destruct. Jack leaned forward towards the desk, where there was a whole bunch of buttons. There was one big red button. Hold on tight, he shouted as he pushed the button.
They were both thrusted back into their seats.
Their faces felt like they were gonna melt off as they were blasting off through space at a super duper high speed. Before they could even catch their breath, they had arrived. Holy smokes, look how fast it's spinning, said Lennon. Jack couldn't believe it. He was almost speechless. Jupiter was spinning a super super fast speed, and it was spinning so fast that it's now not even really like a big ball like you know our planets are. They're big spheres, like a really big beach ball. And if that ball starts spinning too fast, it starts getting pulled out from itself. And it turns not really into a ball but a flat disk. And then oh no, Jupiter is starting to get squished before it will explode. Wait a second, Jack, that can't be Jupiter. Look that planet over there has a big red spot. Jack turned his head and couldn't believe it. No, no, no, no, no, no no, that's not Jupiter. That's Saturn. Saturn has those big flat rings that go all the way around the planet. But you're right, Wait a suckond It has a big red spot. Both of their mouths dropped open as they just could not believe what in the world was going on.
Holy smokes, What in the.
World kind of mystery have Jack and Lennon stumbled into?
Are they going to be able to rescue Jupiter before it explodes?
I can't imagine that an exploding planet would be very good for our solar system. We'll have to wait and see what happens on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job, you listened all the way to the end, and you know what tem it is. It's time for could shout out? I want to say to Akiva from Baltimore, Kai and Alex from Maryland, Vano and Raffie from California, Elsie and Oliver from Iowa, some are from the Netherlands, Jack from Texas, Jack and Charlie from Colorado, and pet Her from Abbosford Britis. Glummy, 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. Well, I will see you at the Trivia game show live on Kids short Stories Instagram.
Have a super duper day.
Bye,
