Hey friends, it's Mister Jim and welcome back to kids short stories. Thank you so much to all of you who have written a review on apple podcast or left a rating on spotify. Here is one of the most recent reviews. It says my daughter loves this PODCAST. She loves other stories are told and how excited he gets. We listen every night before bedtime and always look forward to new episodes. Leave your review today and I will read it on a story soon. Are you guys ready for today's amazing adventure? Me Too. Let's go. It was a rainy day outside as Luca was playing with some of his toys. He had built an amazing castle and whole world using some blocks, action figures and cars. It was amazing. This world that he built was something that he had worked on for a very long time. It's kind of like he was never done actually building it. Have you ever worked on something like that before, where every day you can add to it to make it a little bigger or a little more exciting or some more details? Yeah, the details are the parts that make things extra special. Do you know what details means? Yeah, it's all the little thing. So if you're making a castle, you might first build the structure of the castle, but then, to make it a little more special, maybe you add a moat around the castle or a drawbridge. Those things are the details of what makes the castle or whatever you're building, super duper cool. Hey, Luca, shouted one of his parents. We're gonna be leaving at eleven fifty, so make sure that you're ready before then. Okay, okay, shouted Luca. He turned around to look at his clock to see what time it was, how much more time he could work on his world, but it was not showing anything. Oh Man, I think my clock is out of batteries. Luca raced over to the battery drawer, pulled it out and searched for double a's M nothing in here. No, no double as here, said Luca. Um, maybe the closet has some. He ran over to the closet and checked. No batteries there either. How in the world was he going to be ready to leave the house at eleven fifty if he didn't know what time it was? What if, like right now, it was and he only had two minutes left? Or what if there is a whole hour m Luca had to find some batteries. He decided it might be a good idea to grab some of his spy gear to help him look for clue of batteries. As he journeyed around his entire house, he finally found one double a battery. But do you remember how many? He needed? Two. He needs to double a batteries. One is not enough. He grabbed a flashlight and turned it on and started to look in some places that maybe a battery might have rolled into or under. Not In his closet, not under his bed. Wait, underneath the couch was one more battery. He finally had two double a batteries. He raced up to his clock and carefully put them in the right places in the clock, pressed the on button and as it turned on, it blinked. AH, Luca shouted. He had never seen his clock do that before. Why, hello, there, can I help? You said his clock. Holy Smoke, how did you come alive? Oh well, life always been alive. I've just never had much to say, but now that you're staring right at my face, I say hello. Oh Hi, my name's Luca. What's your name? Why? Hello, Luca, my name is clockazoo. Did you say clock a zoo? Oh that's a fun name. Hi, clock a zoo. So again, do you do you know what time it is? That's that's why I that's what I need help with right now. Asked Luca. Oh, dear, hi, hi, do not know the time. What time is it? Oh No, what kind of clock doesn't know the time? Clock a zoo started to cry because he didn't know what time it was, and I think that's the clock's only job. So I think Luca is going to need to give him some help. Oh, please, do not cry, said Luca. I will help you. Don't worry, we will figure out the time together. Um, what about the sun? Doesn't the sun help us tell time? Asked Luca. I think you're right, but I do not know how to do that. Luca put his hand underneath his Chin as he started to think very hard. Can you think of a way of of how, if, if you turned on a clock for the very first time, how would you know know what time it is? To program that clock to have the right time? M Hmm, Luca is thinking very, very hard. He didn't know if he was running out of time before his family was leaving, or if there was plenty of time. It's quite the situation to be in wait a second, I just remembered something said Luca. What is it bad? Is it good? Asked clock a zoo. Oh No, no, no, it's very, very good. Don't you worry. Just wait right here, I'll be right back. Oh, don't worry, I won't move, I don't have any legs. Oh wait right here. Luca raced off to go find another clock. Somewhere else in his house. There would be another clock, maybe on the microwave or maybe hanging on the wall somewhere, but there would surely be another place where that time would show. All right, where's the clock? Where's the clock? I don't know if I'm running out of time or have plenty left. Uh Oh, there's one. It says one, one eight. Okay. He raced back over to where his clock, a zoo, was sitting. What did you did you find out what time it was? Yes, yes, it was. It was. How do I? How do I change the the buttons? Hit the buttons right here. The clock had these buttons on the top of it, and that would help change the time on it to set it to the right time. Okay, I just have a a couple more buttons. I getta get the get the time. All the way to wait a second. What was what was the time? I can't remember. Eleven. It was one one. What were the other numbers? Her? I don't remember. I don't have a good Marie. Ah. Was it one, one for something? Yes, it was. It was one, one for eight. Yes, hurry, tap tap, TAP, tap tap. He tapped on the buttons until the clock finally showed eleven forty eight. You've done it, Lud it. Oh, it feels so much better to have to write time on my face. Oh didn't you say you had to go somewhere? Luca then remembered. Holy smoked, yeah, you're right, I had to get ready to leave. It's like eleven fifty, I think. How many more minutes until then? Luca looked back at the clock and it now read eleven. Holy smokes, there's only one more minute left. Fucks, I gotta go get my shoes on because I gotta go, but thanks for telling me the time by. Oh those kids and their things, they're always running to. I'm just glad to be back to normal the end. A great job. You listen to all the way to the end and you know what time it is. It's time for kids showed. Oh, so I want to say hey to Cooper and reese from Utah, Lucy from Michigan, Aaron from Abu Dhabi, Caden from Oregon, Walden and Simone from Chicago, Caden from Oregon, Elliott from South Korea and drew in Dakota from Virginia. I'm so glad that you're all in the kids short stories, family and on the spy team. We could not stop doctor stinky breath and his crew without you, my friends. Well, you have a super duper day and I will see you on our next adventure. Bye.
