Hey friends, it's Mr. Jim, and welcome back to kids short stories if this is your first time.

Welcome to the family. We make fun stories every single day for you to listen to off of screens and

at the end of our story I have some birthday shoutouts. But if your birthday is coming up in August, you got to make sure that you tell your

parents to check down in the show notes below to get on our August birthday

shoutout calendar. So I can tell you. August birthday

You, happy birthday.

My birthday happens to be in August as well, so I think it's the best month in the world to have a birthday.

Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure?

Me too, let's go! It was a beautiful day outside as Kevin the Dragon was walking home from his day at school.

Yeah, Dragons go to school too,

and Kevin was no different.

He had just learned how to read a really hard book.

Have you ever tried to read a really hard book before.

Yeah, that could be really hard, but pretty fun once you figure it out.

And Kevin had been working on this one book for a long time and finally had figured it all out.

Oh, that was such a good day at school, Kevin said.

I'm so glad I finally figured out that book but yooch my one tooth really hurts I hope there isn't a problem with it

You see even though he had a really great day at school there was this

one tooth in his mouth that was hurting really badly and it was almost even hard to

think about anything else other than that painful tooth.

Has that ever happened to you or maybe your tooth or maybe something just hurts really bad and it's hard to even focus or think about

anything else except that very itchy mosquito bite or that very sore tooth?
