Hey friends it's Mr. Jim and welcome back to Kid Short Story as today's story

comes to us from Maggie. Hey Maggie she sent us an awesome idea for a story and you can too just head

over to kid Short Stories.com send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome

adventure. And parents, my name is Mr. Jim, like I said, and if we haven't met, I live in South Carolina

with my wife and my three boys, and we love stories.

We really like screenless entertainment and we know how hard that can be and so that's why I make these stories for you to use either in the car while you're driving or quiet time at home or getting ready for bed. We've found that these stories have really helped a lot of families all around the world.

Well, my friends, are you guys ready for today's adventure about Maggie and an octopus?

Me too! Let's go! It was a beautiful morning and Maggie was just waking up. Oh, do you like to stretch as much as Mr Jim does. Yeah, when I wake up, I need to stretch all my arms and my legs and my toes and my nose.

Yes, stretching is really important when you wake up and Maggie is an ultimate

stretcher. As she got up out of bed she reached down and touched her toes and stretched her arms up towards the ceiling and took a deep breath.

Oh, that felt good.

I said Maggie. She ran downstairs to eat a delicious breakfast.

Downstairs, her parents were waiting there with the newspaper.

Maggie, I think the world needs your help.

What's going on?

Look at this. As they put the newspaper right in front of her on the table,

Maggie read the headlines and it said,

See monster terrorizes city.

And she read more about the story.

There was some kind of crazy sea creature,

really big, like bigger than normal, that I guess had been scaring a lot of people and

everyone's freaking out about it. Oh no!
