Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome

0:06

back to Kids Short Stories. Today we

0:08

are doing one of our art challenges, So

0:10

I need you to make sure that you have something

0:13

artsy so that you can use

0:15

your imagination and then make something

0:17

out of it. All right, I need you to

0:20

take something from our story today and

0:23

make it into something in real

0:25

life. All right, friends, put

0:28

your thinking caps on. Are

0:30

you ready for this challenge?

0:32

All right? Challenge accepted me too,

0:34

Let's go. It

0:42

was a beautiful day in Australia as

0:45

River was coloring with some amazing

0:47

chalk on her driveway. She

0:50

had every single color

0:52

of chalk and she had created

0:55

an entire city out

0:58

of chalk. It was pretty amazing. Wow.

1:01

And then I'll put a house over here and

1:05

connect it with the road, said

1:07

River. She had built everything,

1:10

neighborhoods and cities and lakes

1:13

and people. She had

1:16

a whole like real

1:18

world on her driveway.

1:20

It was amazing. Some might even

1:22

call it a masterpiece. Do

1:25

you know what a masterpiece is? Yes,

1:27

it's something amazing. And

1:29

so right now, as you're creating something

1:32

out of your art supplies, this

1:35

might actually just become a masterpiece

1:38

of what you're building. River,

1:41

Why did she come on in for some lunch. You've

1:43

been out here for a long time, said

1:45

her parents. Oh yeah,

1:49

Oh I forgot, I've been

1:51

out here for hours, said River, and

1:54

she put her chalk down. She raced back

1:56

inside, first washing her hands.

1:58

After all, like her fingers

2:01

had turned all kinds of colors

2:03

from chalk. That's kind of a silly thing about

2:05

chalk, right, kind of gets a little messy

2:07

all over your hands. So she

2:09

washed her hands and sat down for a delicious

2:12

lunch. She didn't even realize

2:14

how hungry and thirsty she was because

2:17

she was having so much fun outside.

2:20

She was gobbling down her lunch and drinking

2:22

a ton of water. She

2:24

all of a sudden heard a sound at the door. Hey,

2:28

River, could you go get the door for me? River

2:31

got up from the table and ran over towards the door.

2:34

As she opened it up, she didn't see anybody. Hello,

2:37

who's there? Hull a

2:40

small down flour. As

2:42

River then turned down to look

2:45

at the ground, she couldn't believe it. One

2:47

of the people that she had drawn in chalk

2:50

on her driveway was now

2:52

standing at her door talking

2:55

to her in real life. Oh

2:58

dear, I didn't realize how thirsty I

3:00

was. I must be dehydrated,

3:02

said River. She turned around to close

3:04

the door and go back to lunch because she

3:07

thought she was seeing things, but

3:09

the chalk person stopped her before she could leave.

3:12

Well, well, r molds her houp

3:15

suttle. It's gonna wash a rollulularles

3:18

rolling.

3:19

Raining, said River. It's not. Oh,

3:23

it is starting to drizzle a little bit. As

3:25

Rivers stuck her hand out the door, she

3:27

could feel a few tiny drops

3:30

of water falling from the sky.

3:32

Plus lusula consolos

3:34

rolland my horse little on armou

3:37

froms her return forever.

3:41

Oh my goodness, that's terrible.

3:44

Let me see if I can get some umbrellas. River

3:46

started running around the house looking for as many umbrellas

3:49

as she could find. She only found

3:51

three, but maybe that could do the job.

3:54

She raced outside and opened up the umbrellas

3:57

as it was still dripping rain

4:00

here, this will stop the rain from falling.

4:02

Look.

4:03

As she set the umbrellas all over the

4:06

amazing chalk drawing that she had done

4:08

in the driveway, her new friend

4:10

was very happy.

4:12

Huh huh functal

4:14

so much little still wrong chalkpvla

4:19

faull of wrong.

4:21

Wait, I'm confused. How are

4:23

you alive?

4:25

Oh well, little um,

4:27

little little drawers, little of.

4:29

That magic chalk, magic

4:32

chalk, said River. Oh

4:34

LUs less.

4:35

Our long worth that magic chalk, but little

4:37

Drawer locks, Little Tom's alive

4:40

on our chalk world.

4:42

River couldn't believe it. You see, she had

4:45

found some kind of magic chalk

4:47

that she didn't really know exactly where that came from.

4:49

But it's pretty amazing. Everything

4:52

that she draws creates a real chalk

4:54

world that real creatures

4:56

and people live inside.

5:00

And it makes sense why they would be very

5:02

afraid of rain, because rain washes

5:04

chalk off of sidewalks and driveways

5:07

very quickly. Hell, little

5:09

so common, visit our chalk town. Come

5:11

on the chalk person

5:14

motioned for River to follow him

5:17

over to the chalk drawing. We'll

5:19

just have.

5:19

To draw a blood circle.

5:21

I'm gonna jump on the I'm budding after

5:24

our chalk world. No way.

5:27

River's eyes got really big, Holy

5:30

smokes. Do you think that's real?

5:33

I'm not sure, but we have got to

5:35

find out. That is so

5:37

cool that you can draw a

5:39

chalk world and it comes live.

5:42

And should River jump in that circle?

5:45

I think she definitely should go

5:47

River. River took

5:49

one deep breath after drawing that big

5:52

circle. All

5:55

right, let's see what happens here

5:57

we go? Whah.

6:02

As she jumped through that circle that she

6:04

had just trawd on the ground, she went

6:06

falling and falling and instantly turned

6:09

into a chalk person. As

6:11

she looked down at her fingers in her hands, she

6:14

was merely scribbles of yellow

6:16

and purple and green. Wow,

6:19

this is so cool, shouted

6:22

River. Oh Loss, just

6:24

come with Mamma Charlot. Around the

6:27

rest of the afternoon, River spent

6:29

with her new chalk friend, whose

6:31

name was Thomas. Thomas showed

6:34

her all around and she

6:36

instantly fell in love with this chalk world. But

6:39

at the end of the day she asked a very

6:41

important question. So, mister

6:44

Thomas, is there any way

6:47

to save this world? Because I

6:49

don't think I can keep the umbrellas over

6:52

like forever.

6:54

Oh not mile Lollo, Little

6:56

lost chalk worlds well don't

6:58

last for long. Noural

7:01

has fullered out of roll Siliper's

7:03

long term nom.

7:06

Yeah. Well, wait

7:09

a second, what if I, like,

7:11

what would happen if I took a picture of

7:14

the chalk world? Would would it stay?

7:16

Then?

7:17

Hmm, that's a surplus

7:21

la flurs, a tunt puncture of us, and

7:23

then we're love forever. Shar

7:27

Temple, rosterol, Thunder,

7:30

Rivers, Lust, go back

7:32

and tuntar puck sure horrible

7:35

before the wrong comes.

7:37

River ran back over to that circle

7:39

and jumped up back into

7:42

the normal people world, out

7:44

of the chalk world. As she zoomed

7:46

up, Okay, I gotta

7:48

go find a camera. Mom,

7:51

can I borrow your phone? I need to take a

7:53

picture, she asked. Uh,

7:56

okay, River, but what's going on? You

7:58

should come on in. It looks it's about to start

8:00

raining like a lot I know, or

8:03

I'm running out of time. Hurry. As

8:05

River raced over, she moved the

8:08

umbrellas out of the way and held

8:10

up the phone so that she could take a great

8:12

picture of the whole chalk world. As

8:14

she snapped the picture, the

8:16

rains started to pour. Oh

8:19

no, I hope this works, said

8:21

River as she hurried inside.

8:24

Her mom was still very confused, but

8:27

River was confident. She

8:29

knew that she had just saved that chalkworld

8:31

forever, and as she looked at that picture,

8:34

she knew that mister Thomas and all

8:36

of his chalk friends in his chalkworld would

8:38

stay safe and out of the rain forever

8:41

in this beautiful picture the

8:44

end. Wow,

8:53

8:55
