ADVERTS DISCLAIMER:
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.
As creators, we want your child’s experience to be a pleasurable one. Running adverts is necessary to allow us to operate, but please do consider the premium subscription service as an alternative – it’s ad free.

| 0:00.0 | And here is today's story request. |
| 0:03.0 | Hi Lucy. |
| 0:04.3 | Parth became a premium member as part of his Christmas gift. |
| 0:08.2 | Parth lives in California with his mom and dad, his little sister Anya, and his dog, Milo. |
| 0:14.4 | Parth loves telling jokes and playing the piano. |
| 0:16.8 | He would love a story that involves Milo and Parth getting sucked into a virtual video game world. |
| 0:27.6 | Everybody knows how video games work, and Parth was quite sure this wasn't right. What you're doing, Poth? |
| 0:39.6 | asked Milo, his dog, sat upon the floor. Why aren't you playing a game? Well, because it's not my game, |
| 0:47.1 | insisted Pardth, perched on the edge of his seat. The controller was in his hands, |
| 0:52.1 | but all he was doing was staring at the screen. |
| 0:55.1 | Sure, it's your game. I saw you load it into the console, said Milo, thinking his owner was just playing |

| 1:30.7 | said Parth, warming to the idea. He'd really wanted to play his favorite game, but maybe this |
| 1:36.8 | wouldn't be so bad. He picked up the console and selected the enter button. Okay, he said, |
| 1:43.2 | let's see what it's like. |
| 1:44.8 | That should have been straightforward enough, but instead, the air raced from his lungs as he and Milo |
| 1:51.6 | were wrenched forward into a dazzling light, leaving behind the controller to drop onto |
