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 | There was once a little turtle called Turbo who lived with a bigger turtle called Big Turbo. They were the very best of friends. Big Turbo was a turtle who had lived for many years, while Turbo was relatively |
| 0:24.4 | new to the world. So he was always asking Big Turbo questions. Big Turbo didn't mind this. |
| 0:31.4 | Asking questions was good. Asking questions was how you found out things, as long as you were |
| 0:37.1 | willing to listen to the answers. |

| 1:07.7 | point leaving something as important as that until the last moment. |
| 1:12.5 | You're talking about winter? |
| 1:14.3 | Gasped Turbo and quickened his pace. |
| 1:17.1 | We'd better find somewhere quickly. |

| 1:21.8 | Said Big Turbo patiently. |
| 1:24.0 | There's no rush. |
| 1:25.9 | Remember, turtles don't hurdle. They take their time. Turbo smiled, remembering that Big Turbo had spoken these wise words before. He slowed his pace, and the duo carried on their journey. |
| 1:40.1 | Out of my way, out of my way! shouted a voice from behind them, but before they'd even had a chance to react, |
| 1:46.8 | something gray and furry ran right over the top of Big Turbo's shell and down the other side. |
