WEBVTT - 6. Levi's Candy World!!

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories. Buckle up because you're about

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to join Levi and Ivy on an adventure. All you

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>need is your imagination and off we go, rebby Rare Stories. Levi, Ivy,

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 1>are you ready to go on our walk? Called Levi

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.319
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy's mom from the front door. I'd like to

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>get going because we don't have long before we have

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to get dinner. Ready, Sure, mommy, answered Ivy as she

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 1>got her coat and walked to the front door. Just

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a minute, Mom, called Levi. Levi was quite busy at

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the moment, counting his Halloween candy. Halloween was just a

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 1>few days earlier, and the candy sash she had was

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the thing of legend. Every kind of candy bar, gummy,

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and chocolate tree you could imagine was right there in

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>his room. Now, his parents didn't let him keep the

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>amazing bounty of candy in his room, oh no, but

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>they did let him organize it every now and then.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>This was one of those days. Levi had all of

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>his candies scattered around. He loved to neatly separate it

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>all into piles and count the tasty towers of treats

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:10.639
<v Speaker 1>that he had collected. Twenty three, twenty four, twenty five

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>packs to gummy bears, Levi whispered to himself before he

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>stopped to head out for his walk. He made his

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>way to the door, still counting in his head. So

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 1>that's twenty five gummy bears and fifteen red licorice ropes,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>he sat out loud. That sounds like a lot of candy,

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Levi's mom said, as she helped him with his coat.

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>No way, that's even close to all the candy I have,

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Levi answered with a big smile. You know there's more

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>to life than just candy, his mom said with a smile.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I know, mom, but canny makes my life sweet and

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that's why I love it, Levi replied. Levi's mom turned

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>around and walked outside to her kids. The fall air

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>was crisp and cool and turned their noses red. They

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>started down the street as the wind rustled the last

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>remained leaves in the trees overhead. What's your favorite kind

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of candy, Ivy Levi asked, but before she could answer,

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>he said that his was chocolate caramel bites. As the

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>walk went on, Levi decided to list his all favorite

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>candies because the more he had thought about it, the

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>more he couldn't imagine picking just one favorite. Levi's mom

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy didn't really want to hear any more about candy,

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>so they walked up ahead as Levi lagged behind. They

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>walked into the park where there was a little waterfall

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and a playground up ahead. The splashing water was cold,

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy and her mom walked quickly. However, Levi stopped

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>and couldn't imagine how cool it would be if that

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>water was actually fruit candy, A huge cascading fall of cherry,

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>lime and strawberry candy bites, all pooling at the bottom,

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>ready for him to taste. As he gazed at the waterfall,

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>his mind started to wander, and just when he thought

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>he had been lost in his imagination too long, something

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>strange happened. The water actually started a change. It started

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to change into fruit candy. Levi couldn't believe his eyes.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Mom Ivy look at this, he shouted, but when he

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>turned around, his sister and mom were nowhere to be seen.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>He wondered where they had gone off to, but not

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.239
<v Speaker 1>for very long, because all of a sudden, everything around

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>him began to transform, and within a matter of seconds,

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 1>he was standing inside his very own candy world made

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent of every candy he loved. There was

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>a river made of chocolate syrup with root beer floats

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>floating along by the shore. There were caught in candy

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>clouds gliding along with the wind that smelled like sugar

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and cinnamon. Licorice ropes dangled from the tree tops made

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>entirely of milk chocolate. Squirrels and chipmunks ran by carrying

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a feast for dinner, but it wasn't acorns and seeds. Instead,

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>their little furry arms were filled with colorful gum drops.

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Levi couldn't believe his eyes and sat down to catch

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>his breath. But there was no benches in the park anymore.

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>They had all been replaced with cupcake chairs piled high

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>with fluffy vanilla frosting and hundreds of sprinkles. Ivy, mom,

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>you really have to see this, Levi called out, but

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 1>still no one answered. He had to continue exploring, and

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>of course, while he was doing that, he started to

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>get a bit hungry. He had a nibble of a cupcake,

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a few gum drops, and a long piece of red licorice. Then,

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>as he was strolling along the greatest candy world he

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>could ever imagine. He stumbled upon the playground. Doughnuts replaced swings,

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>as long, stretched out pieces of gum were made into

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>giant trampolines. Chocolate bar slides filled the rest of the

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>space as Levi's eyes grew wide. He had a taste

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of this, and a taste of that, then another taste

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and another. He was starting to get a little full

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>when it began to rain, But in this new world

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>he had created, it wasn't normal rain. It was chocolate pudding.

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>He caught a few drops in his mouth, and then

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a few more. As the rain shower turned into a

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>full rainstorm, Levi's tummy started to hurt. Oh no, I

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 1>don't feel so good, Levi muttered to himself as he

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.239
<v Speaker 1>hid from the rain under a cupcake chair. He closed

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>his eyes and just wished he was back on a

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>walk with his mom and sister. As he sat under

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the cupcake with his eyes shut tight, he felt a

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.679
<v Speaker 1>tapping on his shoulder, Levi, what are you doing? Sitting

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>underneath the park bench, he heard his mom say, Mom,

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Levi exclaimed as he jumped up and gave his mam

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a hug. I'm so glad to see you, Levi. I

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>was so excited, in fact, it took him a second

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to notice he was back in the normal playground. In

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the normal park. No more chocolate bar slides, doughnuts swings,

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>or fruit candy waterfalls, No more cotton candy clouds or

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>licorice trees. Everything is back to normal, exclaimed Levi. I'm

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>so happy back to normal, asked mom. What are you

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Levi went on to tell mom and Ivy

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>about the amazing candy world he had visited. I realize

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>now there's definitely more to life than just candy. And

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>even though it's sweet, too much of it can leave

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a sour taste in your mouth, Levi said. His mom

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy looked a bit confused, but they were happy

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Levi was able to concentrate on something other than candy

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>for a change. When they got back home, Levi's mom

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>went into the kitchen to make dinner. Hey, Levi, she

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 1>called out to him. Since you and Ivy went on

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a long walk with me, I'll let each of you

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>have some of your Halloween candy after dinner. No thank you,

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>mom replied Levi. I'm still full from the pudding rainstorm.

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 1>I think I'll skip dessert tonight. Levi's mom stood staring

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>at her son, totally confused as he left the kitchen

0:06:47.480 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>putting rainstorm. This kid has some imagination. Did you learn

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a lesson from this story? Page? South? What was it?

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>And parents, do your kids have a story idea? Leave

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a comment on our Apple Podcast review page with five stars,

<v Speaker 1>the idea, and your kid's name for a chance to

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>join Levi and Ivy on their next adventure. Until next time,

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for listening. Come back for more
