Welcome back to Kid Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from one of our friends,

Ellie. Hey Ellie, she sent us an awesome idea for Sci Guy and you can too just head over to our

Instagram page kids short stories or go to kid short stories dot org

Send us your idea for a science discovery for Sci Guy and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure.

Are you ready for this one? Me too! Let's go! One day Ellie and her brother Ben were playing in the backyard near a stream that was really cool.

A stream is a little bit of water that flows very quietly and slowly down.

It's not as big as a river, but it's kind of like a small, a tiny mini river and streams are really cool because they have all kinds of cool creatures like frogs and salamanders and bugs and worms and maybe little minnows and it's a really cool place to explore.

Well, Ellie was searching in the rocks looking for some really cool special rocks.

Some of the rocks were really cool special rocks.

Some of the rocks were really shiny and smooth

and some of them were really cool colors

and others were really poky,

but she really liked looking for rocks.

She also. But she all of a sudden, all of a sudden, wait, what is that?

She picked up a rock and it looked like there was a picture on the rock.

Like, have you ever seen that before like it looked like a leaf hat was

painted on the rock but it was bumpy like wait a second like did the leaf melt into the rock?

Whoa, that is, that's pretty strange.

Look over here, what is this?

This one, this rock has a big footprint in it, but it's like some creature was so big that it like squashed the rock and it made a footprint into the rock.

Well, I am not big enough to do that,

Ellie said.
