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 Kids Short Stories. Today's story is our part two of our Pillars of the Spy Team adventures. Do you remember last time when Macey burned her finger with a really hot marshmallow. Well, Aida, she needs to go find some kind of plant to save the day. I don't know. I hope Ayda is able to make it in time. Are you ready for part two? Me two, let's go. As Ada was running through the forest as fast as she could. She was a little worried about her sister, Macy. Oh no, I hope she's gonna be okay. That looked like it hurt a lot. You gotta find this Alivera plant fast. Yes, an alvera plant. That is a really cool plant that's been around for a very very long time. You see Alivera. It's a spiky green plant. It has long leaves that come out from its base, and it looks kind of spiky. It looks a little scary, but it's very thick and juicy inside, and inside is a very magical thing, some kind of gel that helps when you have like a burn on your skin or some other things. But Ada, she needed to find this fast in order to help Macy. Like I said earlier, their forest was full of all kinds of amazing plants. Plants that were good for eating, plants that were good for like medicine and helping your body. And alivera plants. Those are one of those really important plants that can help save your skin. Ada was searching all over the forest, and she ran everywhere, but there there's none around. All of a sudden, she saw a squirrel in her backyard. And just so you know, Ada, she knew how to talk to squirrels, and so she asked, mister squirrel, I really need help. My sister got hurt and she needs some alivera from that plant. Have you seen one around? Or lush? Half this comet? How? What's gor The squirrel took off, running as fast as it could, and Aida could barely keep up. I wonder how squirrels get all of their energy. They always seem like they have unlimited energy. Maybe they're drinking. Do you think squirrels drink a lot of coffee? Probably not, well, maybe this squirrel does. Ada was running as fast as she could try to keep up the squirrel as he jumped from tree to tree to tree all the way to a part of the forest that Aida had never been to. As they turned a corner around some bushes, it all opened up. Wow, this is amazing. Ada looked around and there were all kinds of plants that she'd never seen before. Looked like this was some kind of secret garden. Yes, this is actual man turtle, but I will serve with you. Oh great, okay, which one is the al of Ara plantlet service circ honey and the squirrel jumped down and ran and there it was. There was a ginormous alloplant. It was almost as tall as Ada. Wow, this is perfect. Ada reached over and grabbed one of the leaves and snapped part of it off. Its gooey inside started to leak out a little bit onto her fingers. It felt kind of like jello and kind of like slime. But Aida needed to hurry back fast. All right, mister squirrel, thanks so much for help, but could you actually show me more of this later? Oh? Absolutely, just come back Whenever Ada took off running back to her house, she had to make it back in time to help Macy. As she was running through the forest, she could see her house up ahead. She was getting closer Macey, I have it, it's coming. Just hang on, Okay, it hurts. Macey was still holding her hand waiting for that alivera. Ada raced over and immediately got to work. She opened up the alivera leaf. You can kind of peel it open, or you can squeeze out the goo out the side, and they carefully helped Macy's burn feel a lot better. Wow, great job, Ada, said her parents. That was really fast. We're proud of you. Macy. Are you feeling any better? Said Ada? Oh yeah, this does help it feel a lot better. But holy smokes, I just should have waited until it cooled off, said Macy. Yeah. I know. I'm excited too, but it's really important that we use self control and that we wait until it's the right time. I know, I just wanted it so bad. I didn't know that it would actually burn my skin, said Macy. You see that is why a spies we have to learn self control. Self control is so important as a spy because we're always making all kinds of decisions of do we go this way or that way, or do we follow the spy rules or do we not. All of our great spies have learned really valuable lessons of why they need to always use self control. Can you think of a time when maybe you should have used self control, or when you did use self control, Like how about you really got upset and you were really mad, and you wanted to scream as loud as you could, but you took a deep breath and instead of screaming at someone, ah, you chose to have control over your body and your emotions. Or maybe doctor Stinky Breath was trying to trick you into eating a lot of candy and you chose to not do that. That that is using self control. Those are all really important as spy team members, and I think Macy has learned that lesson. Unfortunately, it meant her finger getting a little hurt, but thankfully Ada, her sister, was able to find that magical alo vero plant. Wow. I wish I had a forest like theirs in my backyard that was full of all kinds of really cool plants. And I definitely learned my lesson. I'm gonna definitely use self control the next time I'm using I'm making some ores, how about you? Yeah? All right, spies, Well, those are some of the pillars of being on the spy team. I hope you've learned them all because I need you on the spy team to stop Doctor Stinky Breath, the Purple Ninjas and Professor Sticky Fingers. I'll see you next time, my friends. Bye. Great job, you listened all the way to the end and you know what TUBD is. It's time for good shout out. I want to say hey to Andrea from Ecuador, Austin and Jonah from the Bahamas, Teddy from North Carolina, Laura from Oregon, max Ivy from South Africa, Hugo from Australia, Theo from Virginia, hang from Texas and Alex from England. I'm so glad that you're all in the kid short Stories, family and honors by team. We could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath without you, my friends. Well you have a super duper day. I'll see you next time. Bye.
