Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kit Short Stories. I need to make sure that you have smashed the follow button. You know that follow button. It kind of looks like a plus sign, or it might say follow or something like that, so you don't miss out at any of our awesome stories every single day. Well, today's story comes to us from River. Hey, River, I cannot wait for this amazing adventure into outer space. Are you guys ready for today's story? Me too, Let's go. River was just waking up and rolling out of bed. What's seem like a normal kind of day would end up being a very unusual one. Well, you see, River was actually used to unusual days because he was an astronaut. Yes, he was on the space squad and so it was his job to zoom around and make sure that everything in space was nice and safe. He ran downstairs and grabbed a big bowl of cereal and gobbled it up. That was his favorite breakfast. Do you have a favorite breakfast that you love to eat every morning, or maybe you like different breakfasts and switch it up. Well, whatever it is, make sure it has lots of good energy, because we all need good energy, and especially River who's about the blast off to space? You see, every Thursday is when River would blast off to space. Thursdays, that was his day to protect outer space, and then it was other kids jobs different days of the week, but Rivers day was Thursday. He loved exploring all kinds of different parts of outer space, traveling to the planets, stars and moons. There was so much out there to explore. But like I said, today was a very unusual day. As he entered Space Headquarters and that's you know, where all the astronauts get on all their uniforms and prepare for blast off, he took one step inside and was met with some emergency instructions. River, here, we need you to go to these coordinates on a far moon. We've observed some movement, very unusual movement. We needs you to check it out. Oh absolutely, I'll get right on it, said River. He raced over to the changing room to put on all of his astronaut gear. That meant boots and pants and jackets and helmets and gloves and the whole thing, and even an oxygen tank. As he tested the oxygen, tasted and breathed like really clean air. Ah, that's some fancy air. For astronauts the oxygen that they have to breathe. Yeah, because oxygen what we need to breathe is not found in space. So that's a really important thing. If you ever want to be an astronaut, you have to make sure that you have your oxygen tank with you at all times. Three two one, the rocket that River was sitting in had blasted off to space. River always loved that part of the blast off on the rocket as he was thrown back into his chair because it was going so fast. It even made his face make some silly faces. Can you make a really silly face like you're blasting off to space in your mouth or pulled back and your cheek, sir, almost touching your ears? Those are some amazing space launch faces. But you should have seen Rivers face. Even though he was screaming, he loved it, and pretty soon he found himself floating through space. His rocket ship thankfully knew exactly where to go because they had put in the coordinates of the location of this strange activity appearing on one of I think it was Jupiter's moon, well one of them at least. Yeah, Jupiter has has a lot of moons. How many moons this our planet Earth have and just one, right, yes, just one moon, but Jupiter has more than one. Do you know how many moons? Jupiter has seventy nine moons? Holy smokes, that is a lot of moons. But there was one in particular that that's where River was headed to figure out what in the world was going on on that little moon off of the planet Jupiter. It took a very long time to arrive, but thankfully his spaceship was very very fast, so instead of it taking years and years and years, it just took a couple hours, which I would take a couple of hours over years of traveling, right, Yeah, a couple of hours, I could do that. As a spaceship carefully landed down on the moon, River grabbed a flashlight and opened the door and started to search around. It was a very strange looking place. The dirt was all gray. It looked like everything was in black and white. River had been on many moons before, so he was used to looking at this because most moon look the same. River didn't know exactly what he was looking for because they didn't give him very specific instructions, only that they saw some movement or something happening on the moon. What do you think it could be? Do you think it's like an earlier or where was it just? You know, some dirt being blown around in the wind. Do they have wind on the moons? I'm not sure, les River kept exploring. He saw something. What is that? He shouted? It had all kinds of tentacles and eyeballs and it was moving. Hellen, shouted River. His dream had come true, except his dream was a little scary, exciting, and a lot of things. He didn't know what to feel, excited or scared. What would you feel if you saw a real alien? What would would that be? Scarier? Exciting? Well? Either way, it was an alien moving in slow motion. River walked over to it and said, hello, are you Are you okay? Why are you moving in slow motion? Whoaum low on batter? And he just stopped. River stood there in front of what looked like a completely frozen alien. Did he say it was low on battery? Said River. He bent down and kind of turned his head to the side and saw something that looked like a charging port, like for a cable or something. He ran back to his spaceship and grabbed one of the cables that had a solar power charger connected to it. He attached it onto the alien and instantly, Hey, I thank you Soto. I was riding low at battery. But are these solid powers? Oh? Thank you so much. What's your name? River was a little confused. Hi, my name's River. What's your name? You can call me Charlie. Charlie went on to tell River everything about alien life, which was amazing to learn about. River had always wanted to meet an alien, and thankfully he met a nice alien. I don't know if all of them are nice or not, but Charlie, he was a nice, tentacled alien. And that day River not only helped recharge Charlie, which I didn't know aliens needed charging. That's kind of silly. But River saved Charlie and also learned all about aliens and so on his trip back to planet Earth, he was very excited to share everything he had learned with his entire space crew. This may be the end of our story, but I think it's just the beginning of rivers amazing space adventures. The end. Great job. You listened all the way to the end, and you know what time it is. It's time for kid shout out. So I want to say hey to Creek from Maryland, Nora from Nova Scotia, Haven from Denver, Colorado, Allie and Levi from Alberta, Aurora from Austin, Texas, Kieran and Robbie from Indianapolis, Ryan from Cleveland and said in olive from Illinois, I'm so glad that you're all on the Kids Short Stories family and on our spy team. We could not stop Doctor Stinky Breath and his crew without you, my friends. Will you have a super duper day and I will see you on our next adventure. Bye O.
