This podcast has ads at the start of every episode. However never in the middle of a story or at the end.

Please be assured all ad blocks have been applied to ensure no over 18 or inappropriate ads are played.

However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.

If this happens, please email me at shortstoriesforkids@gmail.com and let me know the following information: What the ad was for? What state you live in? And what episode you heard it on and I will immediately contact Spreaker to block the ad.

I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.

And here is today's story request.

0:02.5

Hi, Lucy. My daughter, Gigi, has her seventh birthday on January the 8th,

0:07.6

and would love a story about New York City and a cheetah with lights, and a million things to do, which is why Gigi was so excited.

0:34.6

She was taking a special weekend trip there, along with her sister Tenley and her

0:39.6

friend Reason. They just enjoyed the best breakfast they'd ever eaten, and now it was time to

0:46.3

leave the hotel and explore the city. Where should we go first? asked Gigi as they pass through

0:52.4

the hotel's revolving door.

1:01.1

Can we take a yellow taxi cab? asked Henley. They're famous. And there's so many of them,

1:07.2

said Reason, pointing out into the busy street. Sure enough, there were yellow taxis everywhere.

1:13.1

Then I guess we should, grin Gigi. But as she stepped to the curb to wave for a cap to stop, something screeched to a halt right before her, making her squill in surprise.

1:53.0

You won't find transport any speedier in the whole of New York than my tuck-tuck, said the big cat.

1:58.2

But we were going to take a tour in a yellow taxi, said Tenley.

2:04.8

Oh, you don't need a taxi for that, insisted Chas Chita. I can take you on one of my special speedy tours. I guarantee you'll see everything. Really? Oh, that would be amazing, said

2:13.0

Gigi. We're only here for the weekend, but it would be great to see as much as possible.

2:18.1

Forget as much as possible, said the Cheetah smugly.

2:22.7

With Chaz Cheetah's speedy tours, y'all see everything.

2:27.0
