Hey friends, welcome back to Kid Short Stories.

If this is your first time listening, welcome to the family.

My name is Mr. Jim.

And this all started when my wife asked me to start recording bedtime stories for my kids when I was traveling a lot for work and all of a sudden it's turned into this awesome daily thing where we make a story every single day for you. So whether you're driving in the car,

getting ready for bed, or maybe during quiet time these stories have been amazing

at inspiring imagination in your kids. Well friends are you ready for today's adventure? Me too let's go!

As Alice woke up this morning she hurriedly looked out the window excited to go play with her friends, but it was raining.

Oh, man, said Alice. She was really looking forward to spending today outside, but

guess today was going to be an art day inside. spending today

to be an art day inside.

Which is actually not a bad thing.

She loved doing art of all different kinds.

And so she raced downstairs to eat a delicious breakfast

that was waiting for her. What is your favorite kind of breakfast? I think Alice

likes to eat scrambled eggs, a slice of toast with jelly on it, and a nice big glass of orange juice.

Mmm, all those things sound absolutely delicious.

I kind of wish I had some of that right now.

How about you?

Well, as Alice finished her breakfast, one of her parents said,

Hey Alice, there's a package that came for you in the mail.

Why don't you check and see what's inside?

A package!
