Hey friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from Teddy and Mabel. 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 idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for an amazing story about abominable snow man in the mountains? We too, Let's go. Today was the day that Teddy and Mabel We're gonna go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Have you ever seen very big mountains before? Mountains are so cool and sometimes very very big. And at the very top of big, big mountains, do you know that white stuff up there? Yeah, snow. Where I live there is not very much snow, and so when we go visit the mountains and see snow at the top, that is really cool. Well, Teddy and Maybel, we're very excited to go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. They packed all their hiking gear, put on their hiking boots, and we're ready for an amazing adventure. Mabel, are you ready? Said Teddy? Yep, I got all my stuff. Could you grab the water bottles for us. Yeah, Teddy went to grab two water bottles. That's really important when you're going on a hiking adventure. You gotta stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Well, Teddy and Mabel had all their things ready and them in their family. They were ready for an amazing adventure. They drove out way far into the mountains where the trail had been can do you know what a trail head means? Yeah, trail head means it's like the beginning of a trail, like the head of if the trail was a body and the trail head was the top, that is the starting point. Teddy and Mabel had planned out this adventure for a very long time. They even had maps of this trail, and they knew that this trail would lead them all the way to some snow, which would be really cool to see in the summertime when it's not snowing that snow it melts and it turns to what is what happens when snow melts? Does it turn to lava or candy or water? Water? Yes? Yes, yes, of course snow melts and turns to water which starts flowing into rivers or waterfalls, and it's really really cold water. If you touch it, it would make you shiver and maybe turn you instantly to ice. And no, it won't turn neat ice, but it's very cold. And Teddy and Mabel really wanted to see the beginning of where these rivers started from the melting snow. They had a long hike ahead of them. It was gonna take several hours to get there, but it was worth it. Oh, Teddy, could you check the map? Teddy pulled out the map, and hey, it looks like we're getting closer. They had already been hiking for several hours. Teddy, Mabel and their parents were working really hard to get up this very tall mountain. Up ahead, they heard a strange sound. What was that? Was that a mountain lion? Everybody holds still, don't run, don't move a muscle. Teddy, Mabel and their family all stood dill. It's not good to run away from a bear or something scary. You gotta stand your ground and make you look really big and brave. All right, I don't hear it anymore. Let's keep walking. They kept walking, and it's a good thing that sound didn't come from the direction that they were headed, because that wouldn't be smart if you were to walk towards that scary sound. But it was off to the side. Then they saw some trees start to shake, and all of a sudden there was Teddy and Mabel both started to scream, and so did the big monster sturt it me it yelled, be a second, what what are you? It looked like a ginormous white bear, but not like a bowler bear. But I don't know. I'm him me abominable snowman. And what are you doing up here? Who are you? Well? My name is Mabel and this is Teddy and parents, and we were coming on a hiking adventure. And we're really sorry that we scared you. Will you kind of scared us too? Oh? Well, I'm sorry for scaring you. But you see, there's this evil man here. He's trying to steal all the water, the clean snow melt, and I'm I have to stop him. Wait, who is trying to steal the water? I don't know, but he's very stinky, and I don't know why he wants all this water. Teddy and Mabel looked at each other. Did he just say stinky? Said Teddy. Mabel turned and looked at the Abominable Snowman and said, does he look like this? They pulled out a picture and the Abominable oh Man shook his head. Yes, Yes, that's exactly what he looks. How do you have a picture of him? It's Doctor Stinky Breath. Done, done done. Teddy and Mabel were on the spy team and we're always on the lookout for Dr Stinky Breath, and they never imagine that he would be way up here in the mountains. Okay, well, we gotta figure out a way to help this abominable Snowman stop Doctor Stinky Breath. I don't know why he wants this water, but it's probably for something evil. Teddy and Mabel and their whole family put on their spy gear and got to work. All right, Mr Abominable Snowman said Teddy, we're gonna need you to hide, and then when that Doctor Stinky Breath comes out again, you're gonna need to scare him as with the biggest roar that you possibly can. Can you do that? I don't know if I can. He's very scary looking. You're the Abominable Snowman, said Mabel. Everyone's afraid of you. You can do this? Are you sure? I guess the Abominable Snowman was not very confident. Do you know what it means to be confident? Being confident means that you're sure of yourself and your abilities. So this Abominable Snowman, who I know, we can all agree that he is very scary looking and shouldn't have any problem scaring off doctor Stinky Breath. He needs to believe that. For himself confidence, it's not about being you know, I'm better than you, but it's just about believing what's true. The Abominable Snowman needs to believe and be confident that he can scare off doctor Stinky Breath. All right, well, I guess I can try. We know that you can, said Teddy, Okay, how do you do well? Sometimes we like we choose to be brave, as on the Spy team, when we count to three, then it helps us be brave. Okay, I guess I can try that. The Abominable Snowman took to his secret position where he was gonna high and then jump out and scare off doctor Stinky Breath. He hid in some bushes and to himself he counted a three, one two, Oh dear three all. You should have seen Dr Stinky Breath's face. He was so afraid of that scared abominable snow Man he ran for the hills and was never seen there again. He had given up in his pursuit of collecting this very special cold water. Great job, Mr Abominable Snowman, shouted Mabel. Yeah, I guess I didn't do a good job. Thanks for helping with me believing in myself, the Abominable snowman who knew that he even needed to believe in himself and have some confidence. Great job, Teddy and Mabel, you saved the day the end. Great job you listen all the way to the end, and you know what Tadays, it's time for kid shout out. I want to say hey to Emma from Brazil, Harley from Vancouver Island, Levi and Andy from Pennsylvania, Kiki and Ruby May from Calgary, Alberta, the Teal Room at Ellen l Academy in Chicago, and Ashton and Owen from Hawaii. 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 without you, my friends. Well you have a super duper and I will see you on our next adventure which there's so many more stories by
