00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard someone say he'd give the shirt

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: off his back. It means he's very kind or generous.

Speaker 1: so you never miss one of our episodes. Today's story

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: is an adaptation of a Hawaiian tale. In our story,

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: kindness is rewarded by the Hawaiian father of sky Wakeia

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: and his wife Papa. There once was a young girl

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: named Nanni. She lived with her mother, Malia, in a

9
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: tiny straw hot. They were poor and sometimes Nanni had

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: to ask people for food. Today was Malia's birthday. Nanni

11
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: wanted to take her poi, a traditional Hawaiian dish with

12
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: a creamy sweet flavor. It's purple and made from the

13
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: toorrow root, similar to a yam. Nanni didn't have any toorro,

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: so she set out to find some. Soon she spotted

15
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: a bustling cafe. The cafe owner was serving all sorts

16
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: of delicious foods to fancy customers. They probably have toorro,

17
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: Nanny thought, so she put on her best smile and

18
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: approached the owner. Aloha kolana, Hello, today's my mother's birthday.

19
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to make her poi could you spare a

20
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: couple tarro roots. The cafe owner looked at Nanni's tattered

21
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: clothes and dirty sandals. She scrunged her nose and said flatly,

22
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't have anything for you. Nanni didn't give up.

23
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: She looked the lady in the eyes and said, not

24
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: even one small toorrow. The cafe owner had no sympathy.

25
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I can't help you, now go away. Nanny felt sad

26
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: she had nothing for her mother's birthday. As she started

27
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: down the dusty trail home, an old man approached, pushing

28
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: a squeaky vegetable cart. He didn't have much, A few carrots,

29
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: a couple of peppers, a head of cabbage, and oh,

30
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: there was one large toro root. The old man smiled

31
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: and greeted Nanny. Ulloha hullo. Care to buy some vegetables?

32
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Nanni replied, disappointedly, aloha, I wish I could. But Nanni

33
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: lowered her eyes. It wouldn't be right to ask for toorro.

34
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: This man was no better off than she. But when

35
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: she raised her eyes she saw his kindness. He smiled

36
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and said, today's your lucky day. Go ahead, pick one thing.

37
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: Nanny looked at the taro root and said, it's my

38
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: mother's birthday. I want to make POI. The man's face

39
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: lit up. He said, my wife makes a terrific POI.

40
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Bring your mother to our home and we can share

41
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: birthday poi. We would love to have some guests. Nanny

42
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: raced home to tell her mom. That evening, they went

43
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: to the old man's house. Hey, come, Ami, welcome, Please

44
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: have a seat. Mahallo, thank you for inviting us. Sir Ah,

45
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: here comes my lovely wife. His wife greeted Nanny and Malia,

46
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: and the four joyfully ate their bowls of poi. As

47
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: the evening ended, Maliah thanked the couple with a blessing,

48
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: may your kindness result in one thousand days of luck.

49
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: Then she and Nanny walked home goodbye Aloha. The next day,

50
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: the old man woke up, stretched and yawned ah. He

51
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: dressed and went to start his day, pushing his vegetable cart.

52
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: When he went outside, he gave a big shout cheer woooooo.

53
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: He couldn't believe his eyes. The cart had a huge

54
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: pile of vegetables. You see the whole Whyan divine father

55
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: sky Wakea and his wife Papa noticed the kindness shown

56
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: to Nanni and Malia. They had heard Malia's blessing and

57
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: decided to fill the old man's cart with vegetables for

58
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: one thousand days, and every week, the old man and

59
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: his wife invited Nanny and Malia to join them for

60
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: a bowl of poi. We hope you liked the story.

61
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: What are things that you have done to spread kindness?

62
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: Think about it. Goodbye until next time,
