Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids Short Stories Today. Story comes to us from Lila and Casper. Hey guys, they sent me an awesome idea for a story, and you can too. Just head over to kid short stories dot com. Send me your I D and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready to go on a prehistoric adventure of finding fossils? Me too? Let's go. One day, Lila and Casper were playing in their backyard. They were having lots of fun in their sandbox. Have you ever played in sand before? Oh? I hope so. Well, digging in sand or building with sand is really fun. But Lilah and Casper they archaeologists preparing to go on a fossil hunt. Wait, what is an archaeologist? Do you know what an archaeologist is? Oh? An archaeologist. That's the one that's the job that they look for dinosaur bones or or fossils and where do those live? Like if you were to go looking for fossils, would you look if they're hanging from trees like apples? No? No, no, no no, they're not hanging from trees. Uh? Are they like inside of swimming pools. No, usually not not there. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, they're usually like maybe in the ground or in a river, or maybe on a lake. Yeah, there's lots of places that you can find some really cool fossils. Well, Lila and Casper, they like to hide things in their sandbox and then go dig for them. Whoa, Casper, look at this as Lila pulled out a giant fossil. This was a fossil of a real clamshell from a very long time ago. Wow. Good, fine, Lila, said Casper. All right, I think there's just two more left. Um, oh, here's one, said Casper. He had dug in the far corner of the same box and had found another fossil. And here's the last one, said Lila. Wow. I think that's a world record. I don't think we've ever found all our fossils before that fast. We're getting pretty good, said Lila. They were a great team, Casper and Lilah. They loved to dig together. But not only that, they were actually pretty good at it. They both had their different jobs and they worked together like a great team. And we're very productive in finding fossils. All right, guy is, let's put on our shoes. It's time to go, said their parents. It was time to go on a real fossil hunting adventure. They lived in Norfolk, UK, which had so many cool fossils, and they were going to go to a river nearby and look in the river bed. Do you know what a river bed is? Oh? Is it where we go to sleep at night? No? No, no, no, that would just be a normal bed. Well, a river bed, that's that's the bottom of the river. Usually it's like a pretty clear water and there's lots of rocks and sand at the river bed. And do you know who who goes to sleep in the river bed? Usually fossils. Yeah, riverbeds, the bottom of rivers or the shoreline where the sand and the rocks are, that's usually a great place to find fossils. And that's where Lilah and Casper were going today with their parents. Because they loaded up in the car and off they drove. They could not wait for this adventure. What do you think we're gonna find, Lila? Oh, I hope we find like shark teeth or a dinosaur or maybe even a wooly mammoth. Wow, any one of those things would be awesome to find, said Lila, I hope we, you know, at least find something cool. They had just arrived, and they raced out of the car and quickly splashed in the river. You do have to get a little wet sometimes when you're looking for fossils, but it helps when it's a nice hot day. Lila and Casper started to wade through the river on the shore. It was nice and shallow, but they were looking looking for something amazing. Casper, come over here, hurry, I think I found something. Lila was pointing at. Something was sticking out from the sand in the rocks, something that did not look normal. Holy smokes, look at that thing. It's huge. As Lilah carefully moved the sand away, Casper could not wait. Hurry, bulit out, Blair, hurry, hurry, wait, wait, wait, we gotta be careful with it so it doesn't break, said Lila. They had carefully moved all the sand in the rocks around it and gently pulled it out. It was a real megalodon tooth. This is amazing. Lila held it in both hands. A megalodon. Do you know what a megalodon is. It's a very very big shark that lived a very long time ago. And I don't think they live here anymore. I think they're extinct. But their teeth are very big. They're bigger than your hand, Like if you were to lay your hand out like pancake, it's bigger than that. WHOA, I would not want to meet one of those sharks in the wild in real life. Well, Lila put their find in a bag. This was a very good fossil bag to have. It was nice and soft, so they could put things inside of it and it wouldn't get damaged. As they continued searching, Casper was the next one to find something amazing. Uh wait, what is this over here? He found a rock that looked like there was a little marking on it, and he started to move all the dirt and mud and sand off of it. He swished it in the water to make it nice and clean. It was a pretty big one those This rock was hard to lift because it was so big and heavy. But as he lifted it out of the clean water, whoa, Lila look at this, shouted Casper. He had found a giant and fossil of a wooly mammoth tusk. Oly smokes, those are so cool. Do you guys know what wooly mammoths are Yeah. They are giant creatures from a long time ago that look like elephants. Like picture a normal gray elephant with their tusks and their long trunk, just like that. But wooly mammoths are wooly. Do you know what wooly means? Furry? They had hair all over their bodies, not like elephants today. They looked pretty silly and it looks like they needed a haircut or something. But wooly mammoths are really cool. They don't live anymore, unfortunately, But to find a fossil of them, he's a big deal. Casper couldn't believe it. His eyes were ginormous as he held up this giant fossil of the wooly mammoth tusk. Oh, this might be the greatest find I've ever done, shouted Casper. Lilah was really proud of her brother. They added this new fossil to their fossil bag. They couldn't wait to show their parents. Off to the distance. Next to the river was a strange pool of water. It was very sparkly it it had a glitter glow to it. As they went over towards this special pond. They thought it was gonna be a great place to wash off their fossils and show their parents. Casper was first and grabbed his fossil of the wooly mammoth tusk and was rinsing it off in this very sparkly clean water. This is gonna be so cool. Oh no, He dropped it into the water and it was very deep. But where to go? They couldn't see it anymore, and then all of a sudden, a wooly mammoth walked out of this pond. What on earth has just happened? He dropped that fossil into that water, and a real holy mammoth walked out. What have they just discovered? Did this magical pond turn all fossils into living creatures? Should Lilah drop her megleton shark tooth into it and see what happens? Oh dear, this is a crazy adventure and only the beginning. Wow, they have found an amazing place that turns fossils into real creatures. If you found a fossil and could put it in this magical pond, what kind of animal would you want it to be? Would you like to find a dinosaur fossil and turn it into a real creature or like or like Lilah found the Megleton shark tooth, would you like to turn h shark tooth into a real megalodon shark? Oh my goodness, that would be so cool. Well, I think this is just the beginning of Lilah and Casper's amazing fossil adventure. But it's the end of our story. We'll see you next time on Kids Short Stories. By great job, you listened all the way to the end, and you know what time it is. It's time for kid shout out. I want to say hey to Damon from Singapore, light In from Lakewood, Colorado, Catherine and Trinity from pull Up, Washington, Toby from Hong Kong, Gray from Italy, Elijah from Ontario, and Bella from Vancouver. I'm so glad that you're all in the Kids Short Stories family and on our spy team. We could not stop Doctor Stinky Breath without you, my friends. Well, you have a super duper day and I will see you next time. Bye. H
