Mayes.

Here comes Lisa. It looks like she has something to share. What is it, Lisa, Well, I.

Just talked to the torch bearer.

I asked him exactly what happened to the torch?

Does he know who took it?

No, he has no idea. Oh no.

Billy is asking if he saw any footprints or maybe a note.

Nope, no footprints, no notes.

That these is so sneaking and so mean.

He's ruining the Olympics. Yeah. Man, they don't even have any clues.

Well, there may be something follow me and don't see.

Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the fun of play learning. Today's episode is part two of our Olympic Mystery series. The Lingo Kids' Friends are in France and hot on the case of the missing Olympic torch. Lisa, Cowie, Elliott and Billy are determined to track down the torch and help save the most anticipated summer sports event in the world, the Paris twenty twenty four Olympics. But first they need a clue.

See this big rock, Yes, is that a clue? Nope?

That is where the dorch bears stopped.

To take a nap.

A man a torch.

Well, he put a special cap on the dorche first to make sure it didn't go out.

Billy says, the Olympic torch has a special cap to protect the fire from going out. That way, it can travel by boat, or bike or plane. Olympic torches have traveled to many places. One torch was carried to the top of Mount Everest. One torch even made its way all the way to space.

Wow, that is so cool. But what happened to our torch?

Well, when the dorch bearer woke up from his nap, the dorche was gone. He looked everywhere, but all he found was crumbs.

Crumbs, it's true, like bagget crumbs.

Don't worry, mister George Bearer, We'll find that torch.

Billy says. Crumbs could be a clue. Maybe the thief likests, But we're in France.

Everyone here like baggetts. It will be impossible to find them. Hm hm Was there anything else?

No, just a smell, a strong and stinky smea.

Maybe a skunk stole the torch.

Billy says, a skunk could not hold such a big torch. It doesn't have hands.

Oh yeah, actually.

It smelled just like that.

Everyone quick, smell.

I think it's coming from that picnic basket.

They smell it. What is that grand there? Yeah, that smell?

What is it? Ah?

Yes, I know that smell. It is the famous It was the bargain cheese. It is hard to find, but I said it at the market in the next town.

Do you think the thief like stinky cheese?

Maybe?

Billy says it could be a clue.

Everyone, we have to get to that market. Maybe we'll find the deep bell.

I don't know, Michelle, how will you get there? This is a bit of fun to book.

What kind of buses that?

It looks like a lot of fun.

Hey, it's stopping book.

Are you waiting for the swim bus?

I don't think so.

But what's a swim bus?

Well, this bus is headed to the swimming pool in the next town. I like to call it the swim bus because it's full of swimmers.

Wait a minute, are you going to the town with the big market and the stinky cheese?

Oh?

Yes, Oh, I have an idea.

Do you think we could get a ride on the swim bus? We need to get to that market fast.

Good idea, Lisa. Maybe we can all ride together.

Sure, we have plenty of room.

Everyone is welcome on the swim bus. Come on up and find a seat.

Thank you, Good luck, Micheurie.

If everyone else fuss really swimmer, well, if.

They're not a swimmer yet, that will be so lingo kids, friends meet Jamal Hill. He is a true champion in paras swimming. He won multiple championships and became a Paralympic swimming medalist. The Paralympics is the Olympic Games for athletes with the disability. But that's not all. He also started his own foundation called Swim Up Hill to help people who don't usually have access to pools.

Or swim lessons. Wow, Jamal, you must swim all the time? Is it so fun.

Swimming for the Olympics or Paralympics. It's fun, but it's also like really really really really really hard. So the best part is the people you get to do it with. The hardest part about it is the sickness is working out, doing the exercises and the training. Why is it a light You know, we swim a lot and water is a lot heavier than air, so moving fast through water is a lot more difficult than moving fast through the air.

Billy says he didn't know water was so heavy. He's glad he flies through the air.

I can't fly or swim.

There was a time when I didn't know how to swim. I teach a lot of people to swim, and most of them think they'll never know how to swim until we're able to teach them and they learn. My goal actually is to teach a million kids how to swim every single year, all around the world.

That's even more than a hundred a lot more.

Elliott Jamal, do you have any tips for Calie. She's a little nervous about the water, a lot nervous.

Absolutely.

The most important thing to know about swimming is breathing. It's the same as being a lot. You gotta breathe. Air goes in through the mouth, and then we keep our mouth closed and we blow the air out of our nose, just like into a tissue.

I think I could do it. I'm pretty good at breathing.

We should practice CALLI lingo kids listeners. You can practice breathing like a swimmer too. Breathe air in through your mouth, hold it in, and breathe out through your nose.

Ready.

We breathe in through the mouth and then we blow out through the nose.

That was great. You are all breathing like swimmers.

Maybe I'll try in the pool next time.

That's the spirit, Galli.

Looks like we'll have to save the swimming lessons for later. We made it to the market.

Yay, thanks for the rag Jamay, had no problem.

Have fun at the market.

I hope you find your stinky cheese.

And I hope we find that George.

Come on, everyone, well, this market has a lot of cheese. Yeah, and saami and fruits and read.

The French are well known for their fresh and delicious markets. Billy says, he smells something strong and stinky.

What have we found the stinky cheese?

Ah? Yes, the famous ape was then I am the only one.

Who says it in the market. Other tastes mmmm.

It smells strong, but it tastes really good.

Not too many people buy this one, but I sold a huge piece this morning.

You did? Who bought it? What did he look like?

I don't remember.

I was too busy cleaning up after him. Very messy, messy look.

Billy sees something right by the imposta Pogonia it.

Looks like a handprint, a truck HAIRPRINTU.

I thought I cleaned them all. Wait, don't clean it.

It's a clue, it is, Yes, Why would the deef have chalk.

On his hands?

Good question, Lisa, Lingo Kids listeners, Do you have any ideas? Who uses chalk?

When I took gymnastics, we put chalk on a hands to the parallel box.

That's it, Elliott.

That thief must be a gymnast, a sneaky gymnast.

Billy wants to know where we can find gymnasts. Gymnast Well, the gymnasium of.

Them a gymnasium. That's it.

Everyone to the gymnasium, Alonsie.

You really gave me Prince up Elis.

Today the Lingo Kids friends found their first clue, and it was a stinky one. They caught a ride on the swim bus with Paralympian swimmer Jamal Hill and learned how to breathe like a swimmer. When they got to the market, they followed their noses to find the same stinky cheese that the thief was eating when he stole the torch, and they discovered another clue chalk handprints.
