Hey friends it's Mr. Jim and welcome back to kids short stories if this is your first time

welcome to the family where we build stories every single day.

Yeah, kids just like you send in ideas and then I turn them into an awesome adventure

so you need to make sure that you smash the follow button.

Smash it.

It might look like a plus sign or it says follow.

But either way, I need you on our team every single day.

Well, my friends, are you ready for today's adventure?

Me too, let's go! It was a beautiful day outside as West was playing in his backyard.

Well, actually, he wasn't playing.

He was on a hunt, and his mission would be considered impossible by most, but he never gave up.

You see, there was this ginormous rock in his backyard that he had spent his entire life trying to flip it over to see what was underneath.

And that's a pretty awesome mission because I like flipping rocks over too and looking for things.

Maybe a critter is under there that I could learn about, or maybe a treasure.

You just never know what could be underneath a rock,

and you are not gonna believe what he found.

Ahhh!

Ugh! West had wedged a giant stick underneath part of the rock and had put another rock underneath the stick and so then he could push down on the stick and hopefully it would flip the rock over but it was a very heavy rock.

Hey West, it's almost time for lunch. Come inside in a few minutes!" shouted Lucy, his babysitter.

Okay, I'll be right there. I'm just trying to flip this rock over. I got so close, but, okay, I'll be right there, shouted West.

He was almost out of breath from pushing so hard in trying to flip this giant rock over, but he was not about to give up.

Okay, I think I just gotta, uh, gotta jump on it with all my weight and all my might
