Enough about that, let's get too 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: today's super Live Ay Lewis story. I can't believe it's 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: raining again, said Levi as he flocked down on his 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: bed after staring out the window at the puddles forming 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: in the street. I know, I feel like it'll never stop, 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: said Ivy as she laid on the ground working on 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: a puzzle. I think I've done every puzzle in the 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: house one hundred times by now. I'm so bored. After 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: four days of summer rain, Levi and Ivy were ready 19 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: for a break in the weather, but there was nothing 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: they could do about it. They asked their parents every 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: five minutes if they heard any good news on the 22 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: local weather report. But all they were told was the 23 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: weather report says there's a chance the rain will stop tomorrow. 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 1: We just have to wait and see. Levi and Ivy 25 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: were getting impatient and didn't think they could wait even 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: one more minute, let alone another day. A rainy day 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: in the summer isn't fun at all. We can all 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: agree on that, but a rainy Friday in the summer 29 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: is even worse. We should be outside riding bike, swimming, 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: or playing in the warm, dry sunshine, said Levi. But 31 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: instead we have to hang out in the house with 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: mom and dad. Oh, Ivy said in a huff. Yep, 33 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: oh Yon, Levi, Hey, hey, said two voices from the 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: hallway in front of Levi's room. You two don't want 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: to hang out with your super cool mom and dad, 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: said Levi and Ivy's dad as he entered Levi's room. 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: I think we're pretty fun to hang out with, outed 38 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's mom, as she entered into Levi's room, 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: doing a funny little dance. Levi and Ivy couldn't help 40 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: but laugh and quickly corrected their comments. What we met 41 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: mom and dad is staying in the house with anyone 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: for four days straight would get a little Levi started boring, 43 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: said Ivy, finishing his sentence. We've literally played with every toy, beat, 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: every video game made, every puzzle, used up all our 45 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: paints and clay, and even organized our rooms. She's right, 46 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: what else are we supposed to do? Said Levi, looking 47 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: at his parents. They knew how their kids felt, and 48 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: also knew there were plenty of other fun things for 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: them to do in the house. However, Levi and Ivy 50 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: were just so eager to get back outside that nothing 51 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: they could do in the house seemed fun at all. 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: Then suddenly, Levi and Ivy's parents remembered something that their 53 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: kids loved that they didn't often get the chance to do. 54 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Unlucky for them, it was an inside the house activity 55 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: and perfect for a rainy day. I think I may 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: have an idea that can get you through until tomorrow 57 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: when the weather is supposed to break, said Levi and 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom as she motioned to the hallway in front 59 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: of Levi's bedroom door. Levi and Ivy's dad knew what 60 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 1: she was referring to and smiled at his kids. Levi 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: thought for a moment, trying to figure out what could 62 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: be in the hallway that was fun for him and 63 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: Ivy to do. Ivy did the same. Then suddenly smiles 64 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: spread across each of their faces and they jumped up 65 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: on their feet. We can go up in the attic, 66 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: said Levi and Ivy together. Yes, Levi and Ivy had 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: the most wonderful attic in their house. It was huge 68 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: and filled with treasures from their past. It was also 69 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: filled with fun stuff from when their parents were kids, 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: and even things from their grandparents. You see, when Levi 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: and Ivy's grandma and grandpa moved into a condo a 72 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: few years ago, they cleaned out their house. They decided 73 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: to store all of their favorite things that they didn't 74 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: have room for at their new place at Levi and 75 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: Ivy's house, and all of those things lived in the attic. 76 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy loved looking through their boxes and discovering 77 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: all the treasures they held. Sometimes it would be jewelry, clothes, 78 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: old toys, or family pictures that would catch their eye, 79 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: but most of the time they looked for their grandparents' 80 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 1: old books. They both loved collecting books their whole lives 81 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: and had some really unique books that Levi and Ivy 82 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: just loved. Thanks, Mom and dad, said Levi. Let's get 83 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: into the attic, added Ivy. As she and Levi ran 84 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: into the hall, Levi and Ivy's dad grabbed the pole 85 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: chain that dangled above his head from the ceiling, pulling 86 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: the folding stairs down that led to the attic. Levi 87 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: and Ivy promised their parents that they wouldn't make a 88 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: mess and hurried up the stairs in the attic as 89 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: quickly as they could. Have fun, and please don't break anything, 90 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: called out Levi and Ivy's mom. As they disappeared into 91 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: the attic. Levi ran over to the wall flipped on 92 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: the light switch, which cast a dull yellow glow over 93 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: the entire attic. He and his sister looked around with 94 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: wide eyes, having not been up there for such a 95 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: long time. The corner of the giant room was filled 96 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: with boxes, baskets, and bags, overflowing with things from the past, 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: but Levi and Ivy were looking for one thing in particular. 98 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: Where did we leave that box of books last time 99 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: we were up here, asked Levi. I think it was 100 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: by the window over here, answered Ivy as she walked 101 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: toward the far end of the attic. Here it is. 102 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: Levi ran over to a sister and sat down on 103 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: the floor next to her beside an old wooden box 104 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: that was filled with children's books that their grandparents had 105 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: collected from when they were little. It used to live 106 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: at their grandparents' house in a hallway closet filled with 107 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: games and craft supplies. Levi and Ivy used to love 108 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: looking through it when they visited, and now it was 109 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: always the first thing they ran over to to explore 110 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: when they got a chance to go in the attic. 111 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: I want us to read this book today, said Levi, 112 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: holding up a book with a giant dinosaur on the front. 113 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: You always want to read that dinosaur book, said Ivy 114 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: as she grabbed another book. I want us to read 115 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: this one today. Ugh, you always want to read that 116 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: Uni corn book, said Levi. What are we going to do? 117 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy always liked to read a book together 118 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: in the attic, but today they couldn't seem to decide 119 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: on which one to read, so they called the one 120 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: person who could settle the problem for them. Mom called 121 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: out Levi and Ivy together. When their mom got up 122 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: into the attic, they explained their situation. After giving it 123 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: a quick thought, she told them they either needed to 124 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: share their reading time and read both books, or they 125 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: had to pick a new book they both liked and 126 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: read that book together. She said it was called compromising. 127 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: Ivy had heard her teacher use that word before in 128 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: class when the kids wanted to do something different but 129 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: had to figure out a way to work or play together. 130 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: And since neither one of them wanted to listen to 131 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: the other one's book again, Levi and Ivy told their 132 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: mom they'd pick a new book together. I want to 133 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: read a book about a cat, said Ivy. Well, I 134 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: want to read a book about a dog, said Levi. 135 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's mom heard her kids conversation, but decided 136 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: to give them the space to come up with a 137 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: solution on their own. She left the attic quietly, just 138 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: hoping she wouldn't be called back by two upset kids 139 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,239 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what book to read. Oh man, 140 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: we'll never find a book that we both like at 141 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: this rate, Ivy muttered to herself. Then suddenly, she and 142 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: Levi reached for the same book and pulled it out 143 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: of the old wooden box. Together, they held it up, 144 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: each holding on to the cover, and realized it was 145 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: a book they had never seen before. It was called 146 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: Paws and Whiskers The Land where Time Stands Still. It's 147 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: about dogs. We're reading this one, said Levi with a smile. 148 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: But look, it's also about cats, said Ivy, pointing to 149 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: a kitten curled up next to a puppy on the 150 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: cover of the book. Perfect, they both said, together, we 151 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: both get what we want. Levi and Ivy smiled as 152 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: they settled into two old bean backed chairs under the window. 153 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 1: The chairs used to be their parents when they were little. 154 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: They were still super comfy and just the right side 155 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: for Levi and Ivy to curl up in and enjoy 156 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: their new book. The rain started to come down harder 157 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: outside the window, and a rumble of thunder could be 158 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: heard even in the distance. I'll read first, said Levi, 159 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: grabbing the book from Ivy's hands. No, I'll read first, 160 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: said Ivy, grabbing the book back from her brother. Their mom, 161 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: who was still in the hallway next to the ladder, 162 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: decided to give Levi and Ivy just a little help 163 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: because they were so close to enjoying a nice story together. 164 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy, you have to share your reading time, 165 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: she said. That's the only way you'll both get a 166 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: chance to enjoy the book. Wouldn't you rather hear a 167 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: nice story than argue? She made a lot of sense, 168 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: and instead of being right or getting their own way, 169 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: Leevi and Ivy finally decided listening to the book together 170 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: would be way more fun than arguing. They played a 171 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: quick game of rock paper scisitors to see who would 172 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: go first. They agreed to go back and forth reading, 173 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: and off they went into the Land of Paws and Whiskers. 174 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: Ivy won the game, and she would read first. She 175 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: opened the book to the first page. The pages were 176 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: unlike anything they had ever seen before. They were edged 177 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: in gold and looked so elegant and special. As the 178 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: rain fell harder outside, Ivy began to read. Paws and 179 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: Whiskers was the name of the magical village where kittens 180 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: and puppies roam free. No adult dogs or cats to 181 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: be found anywhere. That was because Paws and Whiskers was 182 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: an enchanted magical village where playful puppies and curious kittens ruled. 183 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: In this magical land, no one ever grew up, not 184 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: the furry friends who called it home or the kids 185 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: who visited. Wow, it would be so cool to visit 186 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: paws and whiskers, said Levi as Ivy finished reading the 187 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: introduction page. Can you imagine a land where puppies and 188 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: kittens ran all over all the time? I know it 189 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: would be so cute, said Ivy as she kept reading. 190 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: As Ivy turned the page to start the first chapter, 191 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: something strange began to happen. The attic suddenly felt very cold, 192 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: and the pages of the book began to move if 193 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: a strong breeze was wrestling them. Levi and Ivy looked 194 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: to see if the window above their heads was open, 195 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: but it wasn't. They looked around trying to find the 196 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: source of the breeze, and before they knew what was happening, 197 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: the breeze got stronger and stronger. They didn't know what 198 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: to do, but they grabbed each other's hands as Ivy 199 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: held the book close. They didn't have time to call 200 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: their mom or dad before they got caught up in 201 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: the strong wind and swirled around and around in the attic. 202 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy just closed their eyes and held on tight, 203 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: and just when they thought things couldn't get any weirder, 204 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: the strong wind stopped and they opened their eyes. What 205 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: they saw next was a land beyond their wildest dreams. 206 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: Hey friends, that is the end of part one.
