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	Welcome back, friends, to short stories for kids.
0:12.0	It was Sunday afternoon. Outside, the weather was gray and grim, occasionally spotting with rain or blowing chilly gusts of wind. As the minutes passed,
0:24.0	the clouds grew darker and darker as a storm pushed its way ever closer, which was why
0:31.0	Aaron and Amy were happy to stay indoors, snuggled under a blanket, watching TV.
0:37.4	"'What's on next?' asked Aaron.
0:39.9	"'A movie, I think,' said Amy.

1:14.1	frames. On screen, a creature was feeding amongst the flowers in the glade, stood in a circle of
1:20.9	sunlight. A unicorn, said Aaron with delight. Outside, thunder boomed right over the house, coupled with a bright

1:37.1	yanking the blanket over their heads. What happened to the couch? asked Amy.
1:43.0	Aaron reached down with her hand only to find no couch there.
1:47.6	Instead, they were sat on grass and flowers. How did we get outside? she asked.
1:54.5	Pulling the blanket from their heads, the two girls found themselves surrounded by a wall of
1:59.4	grass stems and colorful blooms, much like the
2:02.8	glade in the movie. Sitting up to peer over the plant growth, the pair gasped in surprise.
2:09.5	There was a unicorn looking at them.
2:12.5	Stay back, said the unicorn forcefully.
