11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Live Ay Lewis story. Levi stop, yelled Ivy as she

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: ran from her room, down the stairs and into the kitchen,

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: bumping into her mom, who was clearing the table from breakfast. Ivy,

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: what's wrong, asked her mom as she hugged her daughter,

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: trying to calm her down. You look like you've seen

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: a ghost. Ivy took a second or two to catch

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: her breath before she blurted, no worse us a snake

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: in the house, exclaimed her mom, wildly searching the floor

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: in the kitchen with her eyes. She was very afraid

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: of snakes and just the thought of one being in

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: her house made her very uneasy. No, it was a picture.

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: LEVI showed me a picture of a snake in his

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: wildlife magazine, said Ivy as she shuddered. Her mom then

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: stopped looking around frantically and calmly sat Ivy down at

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: the table. She was well aware of Ivy's fear of snakes,

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: but what made the story so hard to believe was

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: that her son, Levi also had a fear of snakes.

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: So why would he prank Ivy? Well, she was going

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: to find out. Levi, please get downstairs, immediately, called his mom.

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: Levi trotted into the kitchen, trying to hide the mischievous

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: smile on his face. LEVI, is it true that you

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: scared your sister by showing her a picture of a snake?

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Asked Levi and Ivy's mom. And if that's the case,

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: how did you even do it? You're scared of snakes too.

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Levi nodded his head, accepting responsibility for pranking Ivy. Sorry, Mom, Sorry, Ivy,

36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: said Levi. I thought it would be funny, but I

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: guess I should have known it wouldn't be to Ivy

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: because I'm scared of snakes too. I actually just read

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: the title of the article super Snakes, Why these slithery

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: serpents are so important to the environment in my magazine,

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: and I didn't even look at the picture. I just

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: threw the magazine on Ivy's bed and ran out of

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: the room. Ivy accepted Levi's apology, and after that their

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: mom told them to go play together nicely for the

45
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: rest of the day. They decided to take a walk

46
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: to the park, and off they went. But as they walked,

47
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Ivy couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to get back

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: at Levi for his prank from earlier. So when she

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: saw a twisty stick laying on the ground ahead, she

50
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: yelled out snakes. When Levi was right in front of it,

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: he must have jumped a mile and started running before

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: he could see what it actually was. Calm down, Levi,

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: Ivy laughed as she called out to her brother. It's

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: just a stick and a taste of your own medicine. See,

55
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: getting prank doesn't feel nice, does it. Levi stopped in

56
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: his tracks just as he entered the park. He turned

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: and glared at Ivy. He knew she was right, but

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: he didn't like being pranked. Okay, you got me, Ivy.

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: Now that we're even no more snake pranks, okay, requested

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: Levi as he stuck out his hand shake on it.

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: Ivy reached out and shook his hand. Okay, no more

62
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: snake pranks. Let's not even talk about snakes anymore. The

63
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: whole topic is given me the creeps. You got it,

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: said Levi. If I never hear anyone talk about a

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: snake ever again, I'll be a happy kid. It was

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: at that moment that they saw a little girl that

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: they hadn't seen before, sitting alone on the swings. She

68
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: looked so lonely. Levi and Ivy decided to go over

69
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: and say hello, and when they did, they knew right

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: from the start that they would all be good friends. Hi,

71
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: I am Leslie, said the little girl, after Levi and

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Ivy introduced themselves. Leslie had just moved to their neighborhood

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: and was so excited to find some new kids to

74
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: play with. They discovered very quickly that they had a

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: lot in common and played together for the rest of

76
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: the morning, but once it hit twelve pm, Leslie told

77
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Levin Ivy she had to go home for lunch. I

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: had a really fun time playing with you, and I

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: was wondering if you wanted to come over to my

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: house for a playdate, Leslie asked. Levi and Ivy definitely

81
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: wanted to see Leslie again, so they told her they

82
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: would ask their mom and dad. Sounds good, said Leslie.

83
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Here's my address, twenty two Snake Hill Road. If you

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: can make it, then I'll see you there around one pm.

85
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: If not, then we'll meet again at the playground tomorrow.

86
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Sound good, absolutely, answered Levi and Ivy. Together as they

87
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: ran back home, However, Levi and Ivy couldn't help but

88
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: think about what a creepy address Leslie had. I mean,

89
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: who would want to live on a hill with a

90
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: bunch of snakes? Anyways, Once at home, Levi and Ivy

91
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: ate a quick lunch and told their parents all about Leslie.

92
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: She lives down the street and around the corner. So

93
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: can we please go over to play after we're done,

94
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: asked Ivy. Their mom was happy that they had made

95
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: a new friend and weren't preaking each other anymore, so

96
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: she agreed and let them go over to Leslie's house.

97
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: She walked them over, met Leslie's parents, and told Levi

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: and Ivy to be home by four pm. Levi and

99
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Ivy ran into Leslie's house when their mom left, excited

100
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: to see where she lived and learn more about her.

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Do you have any pets, asked Levi, a's Leslie showed

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: them around. I sure do, answered Leslie. The best pet ever.

103
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: She told Levi and Ivy to follow her up to

104
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: her room. Once they got there, Leslie stood in front

105
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: of the door blocking some kind of sign that was

106
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: taped up. There is it a cat or a dog

107
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: or a guinea pig, asked Ivy. I love cuddly guinea pigs. Nope,

108
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: even better, said Leslie as she stepped away from the door, revealing,

109
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: much to Levi and Ivy's dismay, what the sign said.

110
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy couldn't believe what they saw. Taped to

111
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: Leslie's bedroom door was a red and white sign that

112
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: read beware of snake. Oh no, Levi whispered Ivy, do

113
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: you really think there's a snake in there? Maybe she's

114
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: playing a prank on us. Ivy couldn't even speak. After

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Levi's prank that morning, she was about dumb with snakes

116
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: for the day. Leslie could tell immediately that they were

117
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and nervous, and wanted to make sure her new

118
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: friends were all right. I know some people don't like snakes,

119
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: began Leslie. Are you those people? Levi and Ivy just

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: shook their head. Yes, we're sorry, but I think we

121
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: should be going, said Levi. Ivy and I are really

122
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: really really afraid of snakes, and maybe you could come

123
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: to our house for a plate next time, or maybe

124
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: all the times, added Ivy, taking a step back from

125
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: Leslie's door. Not wanting her new friends to leave, Leslie

126
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: thought up a plan quickly. If you just give me

127
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: five minutes, I bet I can make your fear snakes

128
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: go away, said Leslie, sounding very sincere. They're such misunderstood,

129
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: wonderful animals. Just give my little snake Slinky a chance

130
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: and he'll change your mind for sure. Well, Slinky does

131
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: sound like a cute name, Ivy said reluctantly as she

132
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: looked at Levi. Maybe we could give it a try.

133
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: We can do it together, Ivy said Levi. I'll be

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: here for you, and you'll be here for me and Slinky,

135
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: and I will be here for both of you, giggled Leslie,

136
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: opening the door. Levi and Ivy gave her the go

137
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: ahead and then followed Leslie into her room. There in

138
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: front of them was a glass tank, and inside was

139
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: the biggest snake either of them had ever seen in person.

140
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy felt their knees go weak and the

141
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: urge to run away wash over them like a wave

142
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: at the beach. But they wanted to be respectful of

143
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: their new friend, so they gathered all their courage and

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: to get ya. They stood looking at the snake. You

145
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: guys are doing great, said Leslie, looking super proud. I'd

146
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: like to officially introduce you to Slinky, my ball python.

147
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: He's super friendly and loves meeting new people. Say hello.

148
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy could barely raise their hands to wave

149
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: it Slinky, but they did it. Hi there, they both

150
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: muttered as they stared wide eyed and frozen in place.

151
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: Since this wasn't the first time Leslie had met people

152
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: who didn't like snakes, she knew just what to do.

153
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: In order to try and get to like Slinky, or

154
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: snakes in general, you need to know a bit more

155
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: about them, Leslie began. By getting to know them like

156
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: you got to know me, you may find that they're

157
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Just give Slinky a chance. Leslie then went

158
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: on to share fun facts about snakes with Levi and

159
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: Ivy as they kept a safe, comfortable distance from Slinky's tank.

160
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: She started out by telling them all about what an

161
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: important role snakes play in the world's ecosystem. How out

162
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: in the wild, snakes are both predator and pray. They

163
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: provide food for birds, mammals, and other reptiles, but also

164
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: helped control pest population by making their dinner out of

165
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: pesky rodents and slugs. I guess that's pretty nice of them,

166
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: said Ivy, refusing to get any closer to Slinky's tank,

167
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: but still keeping her eyes glued right on him. Still nervous,

168
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: asked Leslie, well, let me tell you some cool facts

169
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: about snakes, things that will totally make you look at

170
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: them in a whole new light. Leslie went on to

171
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: tell Levine Ivy a whole bunch of cool facts about snakes,

172
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and as she did, Levine Ivy seemed to become a

173
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: bit more relaxed, and we're really listening to her. Impressed

174
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: and amazed at what they heard, Leslie told them how

175
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: snakes smell with their tongues by flicking their tongues around,

176
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: they pick up chemical molecules from the air, ground, and

177
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: water around them. The molecules are then carried back to

178
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: the roof of the snake's mouth, where they are analyzed

179
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: to determine what smelly snack is waiting for them if

180
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: a predator is lurking. Some species of snakes can fly

181
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: like superheroes. By flattening out their ribs into a C

182
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: shape to trap air under their bodies, they can glide

183
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: gracely through the air. Snakes can see heat, another super

184
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: cool snaky superpower. Some snakes, like pythons that can't seewell,

185
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: use openings in front of their eyes called pittholes to

186
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: sense heat given off by warm blooded prey. This unique

187
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: adaptation allows these snakes to track prey during the night

188
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: as easily as during the day. Snakes don't even have eyelids. Instead,

189
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: they have outer transparent coverings over their eyes that covers

190
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: them all the time. This spectacular body part is called

191
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: the spectacle. And what's cooler than an animal that can

192
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: shed its skin? Am I Right, like changing into a

193
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: new size of clothes when you outgrow your old ones.

194
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: This is how a snake is to get a little

195
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: more comfyo as it grows larger and larger. Pretty cool, huh,

196
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: asked Leslie, hoping Levi and Ivy were warming up to Slinky,

197
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: and much to her excitement, they were. Leslie's super snake

198
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: facts were working. She had just one more thing that

199
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: she knew would make Levi and Ivy true snake buddies

200
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: for life. She knew if they just touched Slinky that

201
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: they would have a new appreciation for these amazing creatures.

202
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for telling us all about snakes, said Levi.

203
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: It was so interesting. I didn't know any of that

204
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: stuff before, added Ivy. I guess we should have gone

205
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: to no snakes better before deciding that we didn't like them.

206
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you said that,

207
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Leslie replied with a big smile. Since you seem a

208
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: lot more comfortable than when you first stepped in here,

209
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: I have one more thing I'd like you to try.

210
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: If I take Slinky out of the tank, you have

211
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: to be brave and give her a touch. Levi and

212
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: Ivy took a step back and didn't know how to respond.

213
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: They wanted to be nice to Leslie and Slinky, but

214
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: they didn't know if they could physically do it. After

215
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: a little pep talk from Leslie where she told him

216
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: it was completely their choice and she wouldn't be mad

217
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: if they didn't want to, they decided to give it

218
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: a shot. Leslie acted quickly, not knowing if they would

219
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: change their minds. Once Slinky was out of her tank,

220
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: she laid calmly in Leslie's hands. She was much more

221
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: gentle and sweet looking up close, Levi I remarked. Ivy

222
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: was the first to slowly reach out a shaking hand

223
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: and touch Slinky on the back. Wow. Her scales feel

224
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: so dry and smooth, she said, motioning for Levi to

225
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: feel them. He did so and couldn't believe what he

226
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: was doing. He felt really proud of himself and Ivy two.

227
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: Slinky is really nice, said Ivy, petting the snake as

228
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Leslie told them more about her, like where she bought her,

229
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: how long she's had her, and how old Slinky was.

230
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: After a few minutes, Leslie puts Slinky back in her

231
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: tank and told Levi and Ivy what a great job

232
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: they both did. Overcoming your fear of snakes is a

233
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: huge deal, said Leslie. Thank you for giving Slinky a chance,

234
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: and all the snakes for that matter. Levi and Ivy

235
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: knew their mom would never believe what they had just done,

236
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: especially giving the way that the day had started out

237
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: and her fear of snakes as well, and that's when

238
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: they talked to Leslie and asked if she could help

239
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: them out with something at their house. When she heard

240
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: about what it was, she loved their idea and grabs

241
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: Slinky's travel carrier. Once inside, they took Slinky down the

242
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: street and around the corner to Levi and Ivy's home.

243
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: Once again, Levi and Ivy called their mom, Oh, hi,

244
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: you three. Their mom said, I didn't expect to see

245
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: you back here so soon. Mom, We've got a big

246
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: surprise for you. Levi began as he looked at Ivy

247
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: with a mischievous look. Hey I know that look. This

248
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: isn't in a prank, is it, asked their mom, getting

249
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: a bit suspicious of what could be in the carrier.

250
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: Not a prank, just a chance to face your fear,

251
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: said Ivy, like we just did at Leslie's house. That's

252
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: when they told their mom all about what they just did,

253
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: and their mom immediately knew what was in the carrier

254
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: and what was going on. She was nervous, but step foward,

255
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: knowing Levi and Ivy had faced their fear and so

256
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: should she. Leslie asked if she was ready before opening

257
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: the carrier. Ready as I'll ever be, said Levi and

258
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: Ivy's mom as she looked her biggest fear right in

259
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: the eyes and learned all about snakes from Leslie, Levi,

260
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: and Ivy. And after it was all over, she was

261
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: so happy that she did, finding out, like Levi and

262
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: Ivy did, that snakes are pretty amazing creatures that just

263
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: need a chance. Thanks for joining us today. We hope
