0:00.0 | Welcome back, friends, to short stories for kids. |
0:11.6 | Today's story is going to be read by our guest reader Jason. |
0:16.2 | Thank you. It was a bright, crisp spring day, and Timmy Thompson ran outside to the big oak tree at the end of his backyard. |
0:33.0 | The oak tree was old, with a thick trunk and big, strong branches, which was why Timmy's dad had made |
0:40.3 | him his treehouse there. Timmy's dad had said, yep, that's a good tree for a treehouse all right. |

1:52.4 | special place away from everyone as if the tree had grown here just for him. Timmy pulled up the |
1:58.5 | old dusty blinds covering the treehouse's windows and looked across the |
2:02.5 | neighborhood. It was early and no one was up yet. Silence was in the air. Timmy leaned out the window |
