Are you guys ready 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: for today's adventure about a baby unicorn? They can't fly 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: me too, Let's go. One day, Eliana was sitting in 18 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: her room reading about how to fly. She was a 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: baby unicorn. It hadn't learned how to fly yet, but 20 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: she was reading as much as she could, trying to 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: get it perfectly right. All right, So if I flap 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: my wings like this and I hold my tail like 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: that and then maybe this will happen and it will 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: never work. You see, Eliana, what's a unicorn and unicorns 25 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: you can't fly? Right? Yeah, well they have to learn 26 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: how to fly, and she hadn't learned yet. But something 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: that she was really focused on. She was really focused on, um, 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: learning to do it perfectly and not make any mistakes. 29 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: But do you know something very interesting. She hadn't even 30 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: tried yet. She was trying to learn in her head 31 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: how to do it perfectly, so that the first time 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: that she tried, she would do it right. But she 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: hadn't tried yet. But don't worry. By the end of 34 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: the story, something amazing is going to happen. All right, 35 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: this is not working. I need to talk to an expert. 36 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: I need to find someone who can teach me the 37 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: perfect way to fly the very first time, because there's 38 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: no way I'm making any mistakes with this, said Eliana. 39 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: She put on her shoes and she walked. Remember, most 40 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: unicorns can fly, but Alana, she had to walk. So 41 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: she walked up a mountain. She had heard of a 42 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: very old wizard, a wizard that was an expert in flying, 43 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: lived high up in this mountain, she was going to 44 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: go talk to him. I just have to find the 45 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: perfect way. He don't like making mistakes. I have to 46 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: do it right the first time, or maybe someone will 47 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: laugh at me. Have you ever felt that way before? 48 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: Like you have to do it perfect the first time 49 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: and or else maybe someone will laugh. Yeah, me too. 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: I hope Eliana figures this out. As she continued walking 51 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: up the trail, she dreamed of flying. She said, Man, 52 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: I wish I could fly. It's so easier to go 53 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: up this mountain if I could fly up it instead 54 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: of walk. See unicorns, they have four legs and four hoofs, 55 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: kind of like a horse, and it was hard to 56 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: climb up a mountain with those hoofs. Unicorns were not 57 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: made and built to walk up a mountain like that. 58 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: They were made to fly up the mountain. So it 59 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: took Eliana a very, very long time to get up 60 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: this mountain. As she passed different creatures along the way 61 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: up the mountain, some of the creatures were a little 62 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: confused why the unicorn was walking. Oh hello, there, said 63 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: a blue jay. Um, uh do you are? Are you okay? 64 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Said the blue jay? Oh, yes, I'm I'm fine. I'm 65 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: just going to find the old wizard that lives up 66 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: this mountain, said Eliana. Oh, well, why don't you just 67 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: fly up there like me? Look, you just you have 68 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: wings just like me fly said the blue jay. Ah, 69 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: that's cool that you can fly. I wish I can 70 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: do that sometime. But I haven't learned how to do 71 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: that yet. Well just just try. Can you flap your 72 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: wings really fast? I bet it all work, said the 73 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: blue jay. No, I don't want to try that yet. 74 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I do it perfectly 75 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: the first time, said Eliana. Okay, well, good luck. Bang 76 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: blue jay took off flying. Oh I wish I could 77 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: fly like a blue jay, said Eliana. She continued walking 78 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: and hiking up the mountain. Oh boy, this is getting hot. 79 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: It was a really hot day. And then she saw 80 00:04:52,560 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: another creature. Oh hello, it was a ginormous eagle. Hello there, Hi, 81 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: my name is Elihanna. What's what's your name? My name 82 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: is Edgar? Oh hi, Edgar. Uh, you must be a 83 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: really good flyer. Can you tell me your secrets? Oh? 84 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: Of course. Will you just have to believe and you 85 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: just flap your wings and oh well, I don't really 86 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: remember how I learned. I just I just now flap 87 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: my wings. Have have you ever tried flapping your wings, 88 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: little girl, said Edgar? Well not yet. I I just 89 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: want to make sure that I I totally understand everything 90 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: before I try flapping my wings. Okay, Well, good luck 91 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: to you. I hope you figure it out, because flying 92 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: is the best thing in the whole wide world. And 93 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: off flew Edgar the eagle. Ellianna started the thing to herself. 94 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: Maybe I should just try. I don't know. I really 95 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: don't want that eagle the blue jay to laugh at 96 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: me if I don't do it right the first time. Uh. 97 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I just got to 98 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: talk to this wizard. Zaliana finally made it up to 99 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: the top of the mountain. She saw the wizard there. Hello, 100 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 1: Mr Wizard, my name is Eliana. I really need help flying. 101 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Could you teach me everything you know? Oh? Of course 102 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: I can. But all right, well, come sit down. Eliana 103 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: sat down and took out a piece of paper and 104 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: a pencil and started to write everything down that the 105 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: wizard was talking. All right, well, the first thing that 106 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: you need to do is is just trying to fly 107 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: and see if it works. Okay, Uh, but what what 108 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: do I do to make sure I I fly the 109 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: first time? That perfectly, said Eliana. Well I can't promise 110 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: you that, said the wizard. But after you try the 111 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: first time, then you'll make a mistake, and that's normal. 112 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: But then you'll be able to correct that mistake. But 113 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: without you trying the first time, I won't know what 114 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: it is that we need to fix. That's just a 115 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: part of the process, said the wizard. You mean I 116 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: have to try it without knowing exactly how it's gonna 117 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: happen perfectly, said Aliana. Oh you mean you haven't tried yet, 118 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: said the wizard. No, but do you promise you won't laugh? 119 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: Said Aliana. Oh of course I won't laugh, said the wizard. 120 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: Aliana stretched out and took a big, deep breath. She 121 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: one two three started flapping her wings as fast as 122 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: she could, trying to think about everything she had learned 123 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: in all her books, and she got a little off 124 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: the ground and then crashed back down. Oh no, it 125 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: didn't work. My life is over, Elihanna started to cry. 126 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: She thought she would never learn how to fly because 127 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: she tried everything that she could that she learned. Oh 128 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: that is a great job. Look at what you did, 129 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: said the wizard. You got very high off the ground 130 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: the very first time, much better than my first try. 131 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: You mean you didn't fly your first time, said Alannah. Why, oh, 132 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: definitely not. It took me a very long time. But 133 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: you see, you're so close. I just need to adjust 134 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: your tail a little bit to the right and then 135 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: it's going to work. Try again. Eliana stretched out and 136 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: started flapp her wings as fast that she couldn't move 137 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: her tails at the right, and she got a little 138 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: higher off the ground and then she's flying. I did it. 139 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: Great job, Elianna, said the wizard. And that is the 140 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: day that Eliana the baby Unicorn finally learned to fly. 141 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: Have you ever felt nervous about trying something for the 142 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: first time? Oh? Yes, me too. And so Eliana she 143 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: was so worried about having to do it perfect the 144 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: first time it stopped her from even trying. And so 145 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: if you ever feel that way, if you ever feel 146 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: like I don't know if I'll do it right, you 147 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: have to try the first time and then learn from 148 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: the mistake, and then you will fly just like Eliana. 149 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: The end. Great job. You listen all the way to 150 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: the ending, you know, what Tomine is. It's time for 151 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: kid shout out.
