Hey everyone and welcome back to short stories for kids, the magical podcast of story adventures.

0:13.0

Hi Lucy. This is our story request. Ember and Capri are two sister sloughs who try out for the gymnastics team.

0:27.6

You've probably heard of the Amazon rainforest with its trees and its rivers and its amazing wildlife.

0:40.2

But did you know that it was a very popular place for gymnastics?

0:45.6

One such gymnastics club was run by Julia Jagua, and she was extremely proud of it.

0:52.7

She offered everything, from artistic gymnastics to trampolining at

0:58.4

her gymnasium, and it attracted animals from miles around. The very best of those animals

1:05.3

Sloths? How were they going to do gymnastics? They were famous for being really, really slow.

1:54.5

But if nothing else, Julia was a fair Jaguar, and she was willing to give the two sisters a chance. After all, they made the effort

2:03.8

to come, so the least she could do was show them around. Very well, said Julia. Come with me and you can

2:11.1

try out what we have on offer. Perhaps we'll find something that suits you. Awesome, said Ember with a grin.

2:19.3

Lead the way, added Capri.

2:22.3

So Julia did.

2:24.3

Although, if truth be told, she didn't think they'd find anything for two slow sloughs.
