Hello friends it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kid Short Stories. Today's story comes to us from

about animals in a fun way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too, let's go!

One day Shua was in his room and he was getting ready for an amazing camping adventure. Ooh, I love camping adventures.

If you were to go on a camping adventure,

You have to put your food in a bag and tie it up really high in a tree. That's what the rope is for.

While Shua was preparing for this trip, he'd been looking forward to it for a very long time,

and it was time to go.

I wonder if maybe I'll find something no one has ever seen before.
