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.

| 0:51.3 | She stepped inside and immediately spotted a box labeled Grandpa's old video games. |
| 0:58.2 | Perfect! Mission accomplished! |
| 1:00.7 | Now she could finally try that game, Grandpa was always describing, the one with snakes |
| 1:06.5 | that ate tiny pellets with legs. |
| 1:09.1 | Then she noticed the tarp. It covered something long, low, |
| 1:13.6 | and shiny. Definitely not a lawnmower. Definitely not a pile of boxes. Curious, Dora crept closer. |
| 1:23.6 | Ahem, said a robotic voice. Dora froze. |
| 1:28.2 | The voice continued, sounding distinctly annoyed. |
| 1:31.8 | That tarp is not decorative. |
| 1:34.2 | It is for privacy. |
| 1:35.4 | Please keep me covered. |
| 1:37.5 | She slowly turned in a circle scanning the garage. |
