The Kidstime Adventure,
"Lost On The High Seas,"
had a theme song which opened
many of the episodes.
Here it is.

KIDSTIME!
(Theme for "Lost On the High Seas")

There's a boat on the sea
and it's going somewhere
Though sometimes it seems
like it's going nowhere
And no one on board has
any idea where they are...
They only know they were

Walking on the beach
when a pirate met them
Lured them on board
with a Bible question
Just when they answered it
That's when the boat sailed away...

Now they're lost on the
High, high seas
Grandpa and Squawk and
Steve and Little Wonder
Turn up the radio, please
Give us your attention
Did we fail to mention

The pirate's name...
I said the pirate's name...
I said the pirate's name is
Cannonball Red...
Cannonball Red...
Cannonball Red...
brought to you by KIDSTIME!

EPISODE #34

Explanation - In October, 2001, we traveled to a church in Allentown, PA. There we met a lot of kids, ate spaghetti, led worship, and presented this episode about not being afraid.

Announcer
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we welcome you to that radio show your friends have been talking about. It's Sunday night - and coast to coast... It's...

All
KIDSTIME!

Announcer
If you have never heard of KIDSTIME before, maybe we should introduce the characters. First, there's Grandpa Wilhelm... Next comes Squawk, the dodo bird with x-ray vision...
Steve, the chauffeur...
Little Wonder, the tiny girl from Sunshine Mountain...
and last but not least, Rebekah Daisy Milton... (she was once a pirate, but that's another story).

They live in a little town on the coast named Ocean Grove. And every year in Ocean Grove all the kids dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating on Main Street, because that's where the stores are, and all the store owners give away gifts and candy. The five friends are getting ready now.
_____________________

Rebekah
Oh, Little Wonder, this will be so much fun! Have you ever been trick-or-treating before?

Little Wonder
No, this is my first time.

Rebekah
Oh, we're gonna dress you up so pretty. And everyone who sees you will say, "Who's that fine little girl?"

Steve
Fine little girl is right. You'll look wonderful... not like all those monsters and goblins.

Grandpa W
Yeah, the things kids wear on Halloween these days. When I was a kid, we dressed up in old, oversized clothes, put on a straw hat and pretended to be tramps.

Steve
That's right. Some of the masks I've seen in the stores are a little more graphic than that now.

Little Wonder
Ooooh, that sounds kind of scary. Rebekah, are the other kids going to look scary?

Rebekah
Oh, yes, some of them will.
But I want to tell you something, Princess. No matter what we bump into out there...
We Are Not Afraid.

Squawk
Heh, heh. That's right, we're not. We're not afraid of anything... are we, Grandpa?

Grandpa W
Nope. We're not. We can take whatever they send us, and know in our hearts that we are STRONG...

Squawk
and COURAGEOUS...

Grandpa W
and BRAVE...

Steve
and UNFLAPPABLE.

Squawk
Eh? Speak for yourself, Steve.
As a bird, I'd rather not be unflappable.

Rebekah
(laughs) Oh, Squawk. It just means nothing can shake you.

Squawk
Well, that's me, all right. I remember once when I was lost, and danger was all around... but was I scared?
No way!

Grandpa W
That's right, Squawk.
We Are Not Afraid. Never.

Little Wonder
Rebekah, were you ever afraid?
Back in the days when
you were a pirate?

Rebekah
Oh... I have to be honest, Little Wonder. There were times... when the storms were big and the wind was howling... or other pirate ships came and we fired the cannons... Yes, sometimes I was a little frightened.

Squawk
Eh, not me. We are not afraid.
Right, Grandpa?

Grandpa W
You said it, Squawk.
Nothing can shake us.
We're UNFLAPPABLE.

Squawk
Eh, speak for yourself, Grandpa.

Little Wonder
Rebekah, getting back to the monsters and goblins? I don't know if I like that.

Rebekah
Oh, don't worry, Little One.
Just remember what Squawk said about being brave and
courageous and strong.

Squawk
Yeah, I remember one time when I was lost in the Black Forest... flying at night through the trees... blindfolded...

Steve
I bet you were scared then.

Squawk
I didn't have time to be scared...
weaving back and forth at high speed. No, I wasn't scared.

Grandpa W
Well, Hot Diggety Pickens.
What happened?

Squawk
At 80 miles an hour, I hit a tree.
Shortened my beak by 30 percent.
I lay there on the forest floor,
and you know what I was?

All
UNCONSCIOUS?

Squawk
Nope. For once in my life I was UNFLAPPABLE.

Rebekah
Little Wonder, I have an idea for you. If anything makes you afraid, think of these verses. Like... "Let not your heart be troubled."

Grandpa W
Or "Be strong and of a good courage."

Steve
Or "If God be for us, who can be against us?"

(Grandpa puts on a wig.)

Squawk
Yeah. It's fun when you're not afraid of anything. Ahhhhhhhh!

Grandpa W
Squawk, what's the matter?

Squawk
Who is that?

Grandpa W
It's me... Grandpa.
I put on a costume, that's all.

Squawk
You did? Grandpa, don't you ever do that again! You scared me half to death.

(Rebekah puts on a mask.)

Rebekah
I thought you were never afraid, Squawk.

Squawk
Well, that doesn't count. I was just turning around, and suddenly there he was. Ahhhhhhhhh!
You guys gotta stop doing this to me. How am I ever going to stay unflappable if every time I turn around, you look this scary?

Grandpa W
Well, you could quote
one of the verses.

Little Wonder
"Let not your heart be troubled."

Steve
"Be strong and of a good courage."

Rebekah
"If God be for us, who can be
against us?"

Squawk
Hey, are there any verses with the word "unflappable" in them?

All
I Don't Think So!

Rebekah
Time to go, guys.

Announcer
So the five friends went down Main Street together, and got quite a lot of candy. They saw a few monsters and goblins, but Little Wonder didn't mind... she knew she had
nothing to fear.
As for Squawk, some of the costumes made him nearly jump out of his skin... but he survived.
Perhaps he's still learning how to be brave and strong and courageous.

Guess that's it till next time.
All you kids have a great week, and if you ever turn around and see something scary staring you right in the eyes, remember the verses, and also remember that...

All
We Are Not Afraid!

The Kidstime Adventure,
"The Sandy Pants Cafe,"
had a theme song which opened
many of the episodes.
The lyrics are...

KIDSTIME!
(Theme for "The Sandy Pants Cafe")

Summer's back - and what that means you know / Turn the dial - to listen to the latest show
Flip it on - it's KIDSTIME Radio

Little town - nothin' much there, you know / Sit around - watchin' the breezes blow / That's the way - life was in Ocean Grove

But then the storm came in - It was a knockin' rockin' big storm
The kind that blows you off track - Knocks you on your back
Makes you wish for a better day

All this and more - you'll find is in store / Come along - what do you say? / KIDSTIME invites you to The Sandy Pants Cafe - oh, yea / KIDSTIME invites you to The Sandy Pants Cafe
