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.

My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid Short Stories. If this is your first time, welcome to the family. We have a ton of fun here. And for all of my other awesome listeners, thank you for listening every day. I know you have so many different options to listen from, but parents, thank you for inviting our stories into your home, into your cars, and into sleepy time.
Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure?
Me too?
Let go all right, I just need a few more fees and then it will look so cool, said Owen. He was building a maze for his hamster. Yeah. Have you ever seen a hamster try to walk through a maze before? Yeah? Maybe you put its favorite food at the end of the maze and they sniff their way through the maze. Have you ever been inside of a maze where you can actually walk around? Whoa like a corn maze? Have you ever heard of those before? Yeah? Sometimes farmers take their cornfield and they cut a path through the cornfields and you can wander through the maze. It's really fun, and so I can understand why a hamster would have a lot of fun walking around in that maze looking for that delicious snack waiting for him at the end. Well, you see, today's story is actually not a lot about Owen and his twin brothers, Aiden and Jack. Owen was building this amazing course that's maze for their hamster. But meanwhile across the room, inside of another enclosure, were two lizards that had been planning for weeks their attempt to go on a real advance sure outside of their enclosure.
Hey, you you keep an eye on over there, because I think it's almost time for when Owen changes are water.
Or less on a little ruttle. We're not going to must up this town lure the bumble of the first run to jump out annable rut brounds. These two lizards had been friends with Owen for a very long time. He had a lot of pets in his house, uh, the lizards and the hamsters and even more. And these two lizard friends were right. It was almost time for Owen to come and change their water, which meant that the top lid was gonna be opened, and that was gonna be their chance to sneak out and go on a crazy adventure.
What do you think he's working on over there? He's been building that thing for a very long time. I don't know, huh, little, don't just come on.
How The two lizards ducked underneath some of the leaves and hiding places that were inside of the enclosure. As Owen opened up the top lid, he grabbed the water bowl and walked over to the bathroom to fill it up with some new, fresh, clean water. There's our chance, the star All right, I'm I'm at the top here, grab my tail, I'll pull you up. As the first lizard was sitting on the edge, he draped his tail down kind of like a rope for the other lizard to grab onto and pull himself up, but it was a little hard for him to hold onto the tail. And then Owen came back from the bathroom.
Bernard, there's a run for it.
Go with thermal. The second lizard let go of his friend's tail, which sent him flying back into the enclosure and the other lizard flying out of the enclosure.
Oh help, oh, oh where am i?
As Owen brought the water bowl back into the enclosure and closed the lid, we now had the two lizards separated from each other.
Dun, dun, dun.
As the lizard picked himself up off the ground after that very big jump from his enclosure. He looked around.
Wow, looks like I'm in a different world.
These walls are so tall, and how do I get out of here?
As he started walking around, he got very lost. It was like he was inside of amaze.
Uh oh, it feels like I just keep walking in circles at circles, at circles. This is like the fifth time that I've seen this same place.
He licked the ground and realized that he had definitely been here before.
Yep, I that tastes like me. I've I've been here before. It's like this, it's like a what are those things called?
And just then he heard a sound, a scurrying, scratching sound that sounded like a giant free monster. What was that sound?
I've never And.
Just then Owen's hamster stuck his head out from the corner. The lizard and the hamster looked right at each other.
Uh oh, hey, gotta get out of here.
The lizard started running around inside of the maze. You see, the lizard had accidentally jumped out of the cage and into the hamster maze, and the hamster was in there chasing him behind. It was absolutely chaos. You see, this lizard thought that he had jumped into some kind of like death trap. Who was stuck inside with this furry beast? It was only a hamster, but from the lizard's perspective, it was chenormous.
I gotta get out of here.
He started to climb up the side of the wall of the maize, hoping that he could get out, and he jumped out just in time as the hamster ran past him.
Oh dear, this, this world is not not a safe place. I gotta get back to my home.
The lizard ran back towards his enclosure and climbed up the side just as Owen was walking past. Whoa, whoa, whoa, there, little guy, where do you think you're going? You gotta get back in your home. He picked up his lizard and put him back inside of the enclosure. How did you get out in the first place? Holy smokes, I'm glad you didn't run into the hamster. He would have gone crazy with you, said Owen. As the lizard was now back in his home, his friend was there waiting for him.
For a love of everything, where does it like outter?
Those are?
Her friend?
Was it excitent? That was terrible? We're away safer.
It here that outside of that wild there was a giant furry.
Monster that tried ate me.
Norah, that's unfumb her little smirks uncirclouds that throw back herm arm.
Further monster.
And that was the day that Owen's lizards learned that they should not jump out of that enclosure. Even though it was just that hamster maye that he fell into. I think it was a very scary experience for a little lizard to be chased around by a giant furry hamster.
The end, great job, you listened all the way to the end, and you know what time it is, It's.
Time for kud shout out.
