0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Live Ay Lewis story. Levi stop, yelled Ivy as she

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>ran from her room, down the stairs and into the kitchen,

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>bumping into her mom, who was clearing the table from breakfast. Ivy,

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>what's wrong, asked her mom as she hugged her daughter,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to calm her down. You look like you've seen

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a ghost. Ivy took a second or two to catch

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>her breath before she blurted, no worse us a snake

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>in the house, exclaimed her mom, wildly searching the floor

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>in the kitchen with her eyes. She was very afraid

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of snakes and just the thought of one being in

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>her house made her very uneasy. No, it was a picture.

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>LEVI showed me a picture of a snake in his

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>wildlife magazine, said Ivy as she shuddered. Her mom then

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>stopped looking around frantically and calmly sat Ivy down at

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the table. She was well aware of Ivy's fear of snakes,

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>but what made the story so hard to believe was

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>that her son, Levi also had a fear of snakes.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>So why would he prank Ivy? Well, she was going

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to find out. Levi, please get downstairs, immediately, called his mom.

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Levi trotted into the kitchen, trying to hide the mischievous

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>smile on his face. LEVI, is it true that you

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>scared your sister by showing her a picture of a snake?

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Asked Levi and Ivy's mom. And if that's the case,

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>how did you even do it? You're scared of snakes too.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Levi nodded his head, accepting responsibility for pranking Ivy. Sorry, Mom, Sorry, Ivy,

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>said Levi. I thought it would be funny, but I

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>guess I should have known it wouldn't be to Ivy

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>because I'm scared of snakes too. I actually just read

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the title of the article super Snakes, Why these slithery

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>serpents are so important to the environment in my magazine,

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't even look at the picture. I just

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>threw the magazine on Ivy's bed and ran out of

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the room. Ivy accepted Levi's apology, and after that their

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>mom told them to go play together nicely for the

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>rest of the day. They decided to take a walk

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to the park, and off they went. But as they walked,

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Ivy couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to get back

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>at Levi for his prank from earlier. So when she

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>saw a twisty stick laying on the ground ahead, she

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>yelled out snakes. When Levi was right in front of it,

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>he must have jumped a mile and started running before

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>he could see what it actually was. Calm down, Levi,

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Ivy laughed as she called out to her brother. It's

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>just a stick and a taste of your own medicine. See,

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.519
<v Speaker 1>getting prank doesn't feel nice, does it. Levi stopped in

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>his tracks just as he entered the park. He turned

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and glared at Ivy. He knew she was right, but

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>he didn't like being pranked. Okay, you got me, Ivy.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 1>Now that we're even no more snake pranks, okay, requested

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Levi as he stuck out his hand shake on it.

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Ivy reached out and shook his hand. Okay, no more

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>snake pranks. Let's not even talk about snakes anymore. The

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 1>whole topic is given me the creeps. You got it,

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>said Levi. If I never hear anyone talk about a

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>snake ever again, I'll be a happy kid. It was

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>at that moment that they saw a little girl that

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>they hadn't seen before, sitting alone on the swings. She

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>looked so lonely. Levi and Ivy decided to go over

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 1>and say hello, and when they did, they knew right

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>from the start that they would all be good friends. Hi,

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I am Leslie, said the little girl, after Levi and

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Ivy introduced themselves. Leslie had just moved to their neighborhood

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and was so excited to find some new kids to

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>play with. They discovered very quickly that they had a

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>lot in common and played together for the rest of

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the morning, but once it hit twelve pm, Leslie told

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Levin Ivy she had to go home for lunch. I

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>had a really fun time playing with you, and I

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>was wondering if you wanted to come over to my

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>house for a playdate, Leslie asked. Levi and Ivy definitely

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to see Leslie again, so they told her they

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>would ask their mom and dad. Sounds good, said Leslie.

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Here's my address, twenty two Snake Hill Road. If you

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>can make it, then I'll see you there around one pm.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>If not, then we'll meet again at the playground tomorrow.

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Sound good, absolutely, answered Levi and Ivy. Together as they

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>ran back home, However, Levi and Ivy couldn't help but

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>think about what a creepy address Leslie had. I mean,

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>who would want to live on a hill with a

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>bunch of snakes? Anyways, Once at home, Levi and Ivy

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>ate a quick lunch and told their parents all about Leslie.

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>She lives down the street and around the corner. So

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>can we please go over to play after we're done,

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>asked Ivy. Their mom was happy that they had made

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>a new friend and weren't preaking each other anymore, so

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>she agreed and let them go over to Leslie's house.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 1>She walked them over, met Leslie's parents, and told Levi

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy to be home by four pm. Levi and

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Ivy ran into Leslie's house when their mom left, excited

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to see where she lived and learn more about her.

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any pets, asked Levi, a's Leslie showed

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 1>them around. I sure do, answered Leslie. The best pet ever.

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>She told Levi and Ivy to follow her up to

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>her room. Once they got there, Leslie stood in front

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>of the door blocking some kind of sign that was

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>taped up. There is it a cat or a dog

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.239
<v Speaker 1>or a guinea pig, asked Ivy. I love cuddly guinea pigs. Nope,

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>even better, said Leslie as she stepped away from the door, revealing,

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>much to Levi and Ivy's dismay, what the sign said.

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy couldn't believe what they saw. Taped to

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Leslie's bedroom door was a red and white sign that

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>read beware of snake. Oh no, Levi whispered Ivy, do

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you really think there's a snake in there? Maybe she's

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>playing a prank on us. Ivy couldn't even speak. After

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Levi's prank that morning, she was about dumb with snakes

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>for the day. Leslie could tell immediately that they were

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable and nervous, and wanted to make sure her new

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>friends were all right. I know some people don't like snakes,

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>began Leslie. Are you those people? Levi and Ivy just

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 1>shook their head. Yes, we're sorry, but I think we

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>should be going, said Levi. Ivy and I are really

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>really really afraid of snakes, and maybe you could come

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to our house for a plate next time, or maybe

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>all the times, added Ivy, taking a step back from

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Leslie's door. Not wanting her new friends to leave, Leslie

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>thought up a plan quickly. If you just give me

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>five minutes, I bet I can make your fear snakes

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>go away, said Leslie, sounding very sincere. They're such misunderstood,

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 1>wonderful animals. Just give my little snake Slinky a chance

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and he'll change your mind for sure. Well, Slinky does

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>sound like a cute name, Ivy said reluctantly as she

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>looked at Levi. Maybe we could give it a try.

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 1>We can do it together, Ivy said Levi. I'll be

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.239
<v Speaker 1>here for you, and you'll be here for me and Slinky,

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and I will be here for both of you, giggled Leslie,

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>opening the door. Levi and Ivy gave her the go

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>ahead and then followed Leslie into her room. There in

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>front of them was a glass tank, and inside was

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 1>the biggest snake either of them had ever seen in person.

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy felt their knees go weak and the

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 1>urge to run away wash over them like a wave

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>at the beach. But they wanted to be respectful of

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 1>their new friend, so they gathered all their courage and

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>to get ya. They stood looking at the snake. You

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>guys are doing great, said Leslie, looking super proud. I'd

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>like to officially introduce you to Slinky, my ball python.

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.679
<v Speaker 1>He's super friendly and loves meeting new people. Say hello.

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy could barely raise their hands to wave

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>it Slinky, but they did it. Hi there, they both

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>muttered as they stared wide eyed and frozen in place.

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Since this wasn't the first time Leslie had met people

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>who didn't like snakes, she knew just what to do.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>In order to try and get to like Slinky, or

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>snakes in general, you need to know a bit more

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>about them, Leslie began. By getting to know them like

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you got to know me, you may find that they're

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. Just give Slinky a chance. Leslie then went

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>on to share fun facts about snakes with Levi and

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Ivy as they kept a safe, comfortable distance from Slinky's tank.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>She started out by telling them all about what an

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>important role snakes play in the world's ecosystem. How out

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>in the wild, snakes are both predator and pray. They

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>provide food for birds, mammals, and other reptiles, but also

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>helped control pest population by making their dinner out of

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>pesky rodents and slugs. I guess that's pretty nice of them,

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>said Ivy, refusing to get any closer to Slinky's tank,

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>but still keeping her eyes glued right on him. Still nervous,

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>asked Leslie, well, let me tell you some cool facts

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>about snakes, things that will totally make you look at

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>them in a whole new light. Leslie went on to

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>tell Levine Ivy a whole bunch of cool facts about snakes,

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and as she did, Levine Ivy seemed to become a

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>bit more relaxed, and we're really listening to her. Impressed

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and amazed at what they heard, Leslie told them how

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>snakes smell with their tongues by flicking their tongues around,

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>they pick up chemical molecules from the air, ground, and

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>water around them. The molecules are then carried back to

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the roof of the snake's mouth, where they are analyzed

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to determine what smelly snack is waiting for them if

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 1>a predator is lurking. Some species of snakes can fly

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>like superheroes. By flattening out their ribs into a C

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>shape to trap air under their bodies, they can glide

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>gracely through the air. Snakes can see heat, another super

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>cool snaky superpower. Some snakes, like pythons that can't seewell,

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>use openings in front of their eyes called pittholes to

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>sense heat given off by warm blooded prey. This unique

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>adaptation allows these snakes to track prey during the night

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>as easily as during the day. Snakes don't even have eyelids. Instead,

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>they have outer transparent coverings over their eyes that covers

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>them all the time. This spectacular body part is called

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the spectacle. And what's cooler than an animal that can

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>shed its skin? Am I Right, like changing into a

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>new size of clothes when you outgrow your old ones.

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>This is how a snake is to get a little

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>more comfyo as it grows larger and larger. Pretty cool, huh,

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>asked Leslie, hoping Levi and Ivy were warming up to Slinky,

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and much to her excitement, they were. Leslie's super snake

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>facts were working. She had just one more thing that

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>she knew would make Levi and Ivy true snake buddies

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>for life. She knew if they just touched Slinky that

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>they would have a new appreciation for these amazing creatures.

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for telling us all about snakes, said Levi.

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It was so interesting. I didn't know any of that

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff before, added Ivy. I guess we should have gone

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to no snakes better before deciding that we didn't like them.

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you said that,

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Leslie replied with a big smile. Since you seem a

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>lot more comfortable than when you first stepped in here,

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I have one more thing I'd like you to try.

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>If I take Slinky out of the tank, you have

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to be brave and give her a touch. Levi and

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Ivy took a step back and didn't know how to respond.

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to be nice to Leslie and Slinky, but

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>they didn't know if they could physically do it. After

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.439
<v Speaker 1>a little pep talk from Leslie where she told him

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 1>it was completely their choice and she wouldn't be mad

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>if they didn't want to, they decided to give it

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>a shot. Leslie acted quickly, not knowing if they would

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>change their minds. Once Slinky was out of her tank,

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>she laid calmly in Leslie's hands. She was much more

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>gentle and sweet looking up close, Levi I remarked. Ivy

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>was the first to slowly reach out a shaking hand

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and touch Slinky on the back. Wow. Her scales feel

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>so dry and smooth, she said, motioning for Levi to

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>feel them. He did so and couldn't believe what he

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 1>was doing. He felt really proud of himself and Ivy two.

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Slinky is really nice, said Ivy, petting the snake as

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Leslie told them more about her, like where she bought her,

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>how long she's had her, and how old Slinky was.

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>After a few minutes, Leslie puts Slinky back in her

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 1>tank and told Levi and Ivy what a great job

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 1>they both did. Overcoming your fear of snakes is a

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 1>huge deal, said Leslie. Thank you for giving Slinky a chance,

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and all the snakes for that matter. Levi and Ivy

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>knew their mom would never believe what they had just done,

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>especially giving the way that the day had started out

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and her fear of snakes as well, and that's when

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>they talked to Leslie and asked if she could help

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>them out with something at their house. When she heard

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>about what it was, she loved their idea and grabs

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Slinky's travel carrier. Once inside, they took Slinky down the

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>street and around the corner to Levi and Ivy's home.

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Once again, Levi and Ivy called their mom, Oh, hi,

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you three. Their mom said, I didn't expect to see

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you back here so soon. Mom, We've got a big

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>surprise for you. Levi began as he looked at Ivy

0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>with a mischievous look. Hey I know that look. This

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>isn't in a prank, is it, asked their mom, getting

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a bit suspicious of what could be in the carrier.

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Not a prank, just a chance to face your fear,

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>said Ivy, like we just did at Leslie's house. That's

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>when they told their mom all about what they just did,

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 1>and their mom immediately knew what was in the carrier

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and what was going on. She was nervous, but step foward,

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 1>knowing Levi and Ivy had faced their fear and so

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>should she. Leslie asked if she was ready before opening

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the carrier. Ready as I'll ever be, said Levi and

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Ivy's mom as she looked her biggest fear right in

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the eyes and learned all about snakes from Leslie, Levi,

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy. And after it was all over, she was

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.840
<v Speaker 1>so happy that she did, finding out, like Levi and

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Ivy did, that snakes are pretty amazing creatures that just

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>need a chance. Thanks for joining us today. We hope

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.840
