Hey friends, it's Mr. Jim and welcome back to Kid Short Stories.

You know what makes these stories and everything a whole lot more fun?

Yes, sharing with a friend. Just like last time when Silas invited all of his friends to be

critter protectors with them and go save the zoo, you can do that too. So sharing these stories or telling your friends about being a critter protector is

gonna be a lot more fun to do it together. Think of two friends that you can

share this with today. Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too, let's go!

As the ground started shaking and everyone was in a panic, Silas and his friends were not ready for this.

This all happened way too fast.

And as they ran around trying to rescue as many critters as they could,

it was all too late.

Pshh! late. a volcano not that far away, explode in a cloud of smoke into the sky.

As everybody rushed to hide underneath tables and ostriches and elephants.

Wait, what?

Yeah, everyone was hiding under whatever they could find.

A few minutes later, the rumbling finally came to a stop and Silas's pocket began to buzz.

B's, b's, bs.

Silas, are you okay? We just heard confirmation that the volcano exploded. How are you and your team?

Well, we're, I think we're okay.

Something's about to...

Wait a second.

Something's falling from the sky, but it's not lava.

It's little parachutes and little packages.
