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.

It's going to increase their imagination, decrease screen time, and we're gonna have a lot of fun along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

Me too?

Let's go.

Hmmm.

Dribbles the dragon was zipping through the skies on a sunny afternoon. He dipped under clouds and dove around birds who squawked at him when he got too close. But he wasn't just soaring around and enjoying the day. Dribbles was looking for humans. Now coming from a dragon that might sound scary, but Dribbles was not like in any ordinary dragon you may have seen before. Sure, he could breathe fire and fly, you know, normal dragon stuff, But unlike other dragons, Dribbles had superpowers. He was able to talk to people. Not only could he talk to humans, but he could also read their minds, but only when they were hungry. So Dribbles flew looking for some hungry humans. He might be wondering what the point was, like, why is he looking for hungry people? Was Dribbles just going to find kids and tell them.

Oh, hey, do you know you're hungry?

I think they already knew that? But no, no, no, no, that was not Dribble's plan. Because Dribbles had a third and final superpower. He was a super sharer. Okay, so that might not have been, uh, what you were expecting of superpowers, but he was definitely not a regular dragon trait. Regular dragons like to collect things like gold and jewels and shiny toys, and once they collected them, they would not let anyone else near them, but not Dribbles. Dribbles shared whatever he had, and if someone wanted something he didn't have, he would collect it just to share it with them, So Dribbles soared over the forest and sees on his search for human friends to share with. He began seeing roads and buildings, so he knew he was getting close. He saw a group of kids gathered by some houses and swooped down to greet them, and Dribbles landed with a big boom.

Hi there, I'm Tribbles. I see you guys are hungry for some lunch. Anyone want a piggyback ride to the park.

Dribbles lifted his arms to reveal a picnic basket. The kids all just stared at him, and one turned and ran away.

Hugh.

Another kid screamed, they ran away as well. Tribbles turned to the remaining children, putting one clawed hand to his head.

I see humm, yes, sideless, you're hungry for some pizza. Let's see what I have here.

He started ruffling through his picnic basket.

Perfect, here's that frozen pizza. Just one second while I heat it up.

Oh that was the sound.

Holy smokes. Dribbles was flame cooking the pizza.

He smiled as he put it on a plate and held it out in front of him.

One fire roasted pizza for Atlas.

How did you know that, asked Atlas as he happily took the pizza. Dribbles. The dragon gave his best toothy grin and shrugged his scaly shoulders.

I'm a super sharer. It's kind of my superpower.

Atlas and the remaining kids were pretty impressed.

Whoa cool, my turn.

Dribbles got to work reading the hungry kids' minds and sharing his lunch with them.

You want to haming cheese sandwich coming right up? Oh? In a bowl of ramen noodles. You got it, pickles and m and ms. Oh well, okay, dribbles picnic basket had everything he needed to be able to share his lunch with the kids. They all sat down in the grass and ate their lunches happily. Uh hey, Dribbles at last asked, when they were finished, can.

We still get that piggyback ride?

Absolutely hop on. Maybe we can find some more people to help feed their lungry tummies.

So Dribbles and the kids zipped back into the air and flew around town, stopping whenever Dribbles spotted a hungry person. They handed out giant pretzels, enchiladas, fruit salads, and even chocolate chip pancakes, whatever some one.

Was thinking about for their food.

Dribbles magically had that exact same food in his picnic basket a few hours later, and the whole town seemed full and happy. Dribbles couldn't read anyone else's mind since no one was left hungry.

Okay, I guess that's that's it for today. And oh, in my basket is empty. Thanks for coming with me and helping.

He landed back where he had first found Atlas and his friends and let them off.

I had so much fun. I wish I could do this every day. That gave Atlas a really great idea. Wait, why can't you, Atlas asked Dribbles. Stay right here, I'll be right back.

Then Atlas jumped on his bike and took off back towards the town. Atlas pedaled his bike faster than he'd ever pedaled before, only stopping when they reached city hall. Atlas ran up the stairs and burst into the Mayor's office. The mayor was sitting at her desk, still eating her large Italian sub that Dribbles had shared with her earlier. Oh my, hello, Atlas, is everything okay? Atlas nodded, still trying to catch their breath from the ride over. Then Atlas plopped down in the chair and told the mayor all about their plan to give back to Dribbles. The mayor agreed that Dribbles would be a great member of their community. Anne would love to have a super sharer like hymn stick around. The mayor handed Atlas a set of keys. You know what to do, Atlas, tell Dribbles. I said, thank you again. A week later, Atlas and the other kids were standing outside of the old factory in town, admiring its transformation. The sign above the newly painted doors now read Dribles Food Haul. Atlas flip the sign to open.

Hello, Welcome to Dribbles Food Hall.

Tribbles greeted the first customer.

Hi, Yes, you're here for a tuna solid sandwich, coming right up.

Yes, Dribble the Dragon's dreams had come true. He could now read hungry people's minds and share his food with them every single day. Dribbles was so happy, and the town was happy to have Tribbles the dragon to the end. We'll be right back after a brief word from our sponsor. 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 domin Tie from Ohio, Jake and Viviana from Massachusetts, Adriana from Virginia, Trinity from Kentucky, Jacob from Staten Island, New York, and Jude from Australia. I'm so glad that you're all in the kitchen at Story's Family. We could not have this much fun with imagination without you, my friends. Well, you have a super duper day and I'll see you on our next adventure. Bye.
