Speaker 1: dot com or just click on the link in our
Speaker 1: show notes. Enough about that, let's get too Today's super
Speaker 1: Live Ay Lewis story. The story you're about to enjoy
Speaker 1: was inspired by Kennedy. Thank you so much for your
Speaker 1: amazing idea. Another rainy day, sighed Levi with his head
Speaker 1: in his hands as he sat at the kitchen table
Speaker 1: in his family's vacation house, pushing cereal around in his
Speaker 1: bowl with his spoon. Yep, another day of card games
Speaker 1: and coloring books out at Ivy as she played with
Speaker 1: a yoyo in the living room. Now, rainy days can
Speaker 1: be fun, but for rainy days in a row when
Speaker 1: you're on vacation at the beach. It's just a little much,
Speaker 1: and for Levi and Ivy and their parents, they were
Speaker 1: quickly running out of things to do inside and it
Speaker 1: was showing. How about we have a rain drop race
Speaker 1: on the glass doors that lead out to the deck,
Speaker 1: suggested Levi and Ivy's mom. We already did that yesterday,
Speaker 1: answered Ivy. We could do an art project, suggested Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad. We finished up our last art project
Speaker 1: last night, replied Levi. I just wish mom and dad
Speaker 1: would find something cool for us to do, whispered Levi
Speaker 1: to Ivy, or ask us what we want to do.
Speaker 1: I know I couldn't be any more bored with this vacation,
Speaker 1: Ivy whispered back, well. Ivy and Levi couldn't see their
Speaker 1: parents when they were talking. Their parents could hear every
Speaker 1: word they said, and it didn't make them feel good.
Speaker 1: At this point, they had done all the indoor tourist
Speaker 1: activity in town. They went to the little aquarium at
Speaker 1: the end of the pier, the candy shop, the seaside
Speaker 1: gift shop, and the library. Levin Ivy's parents knew they
Speaker 1: were running out of things to do, but they were
Speaker 1: trying their best to think of more. However, Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy were not being appreciative at all. It's tough to
Speaker 1: be a parent in a situation like this. You want
Speaker 1: your kids to be happy, but there's not much you
Speaker 1: can do because you can't control the weather. Let me
Speaker 1: just check and see if we missed any other things
Speaker 1: we can do in town, said Levi and Ivy's mom
Speaker 1: to their dad as she was looking on her phone.
Speaker 1: It's just that the reception isn't great here, and looking
Speaker 1: things up takes forever. I just wish the kids would
Speaker 1: make some suggestions or at least understand how hard it
Speaker 1: is that we're trying to make this rainy beach vacation fun,
Speaker 1: said Levi and Ivy's dad, sounding a bit down. It's
Speaker 1: no fun for us either, you know. I'd love to
Speaker 1: be swimming or surfing or building a sand castle in
Speaker 1: the sun right now. I know I'm feeling bad, too,
Speaker 1: answered Levi and Ivy's mom. It just seemed so done
Speaker 1: with everything. Maybe we should just go home early. And
Speaker 1: just as she said that, she heard a bing on
Speaker 1: her phone. When she looked down, she saw a website
Speaker 1: that she had never seen before, The Ocean Story Sailor's Museum,
Speaker 1: read Leevin Ivy's mom. It's a museum filled with only
Speaker 1: sailor stories that could definitely be fun. I think so too.
Speaker 1: Just keep your fingers crossed that Levi and Ivy feel
Speaker 1: the same way, said Leevin, and Ivy's died. That's when
Speaker 1: they walked into the living room and told their kids
Speaker 1: they were going to the Ocean Story Sailor's Museum that morning.
Speaker 1: The idea was met with little enthusiasm, but it was
Speaker 1: something new, so Levi and Ivy slowly got up and
Speaker 1: went to get dressed. Once they had their rain boots, raincoats,
Speaker 1: and umbrellas, they all headed to the car, and since
Speaker 1: the seaside town that they were in was quite small,
Speaker 1: it didn't take long to get there. However, it was
Speaker 1: kind of an unusual place. It was nestled between two
Speaker 1: old storefronts and a part of town they hadn't seen before,
Speaker 1: all the way at the north end of the beach.
Speaker 1: The outside of the museum was weathered, looking from years
Speaker 1: of seaside storms, and the sign outside was faded from
Speaker 1: the sun. I can't believe we've never heard of this
Speaker 1: place before. I'm so excited we found it, said Levin
Speaker 1: Ivy's mom, trying to be upbeat our mighties. I know
Speaker 1: we'll have a great time here, said Levine Ivy's dad,
Speaker 1: trying to be funny. Get it, because we're at a
Speaker 1: sailor's museum. Levi and Ivy didn't even crack a smile,
Speaker 1: but instead held their umbrellas over their heads and walked inside.
Speaker 1: The museum was only one room, but it was piled
Speaker 1: from floor to ceiling with hundreds of dusty, old looking books.
Speaker 1: A man sitting in a rocking chair by the window
Speaker 1: got up slowly when they were all inside. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Ocean Story Sailors Museum. I've been expecting you, said
Speaker 1: the man. The name's Conroy. Tied. You've been expecting us,
Speaker 1: asked Levi, sounding a bit surprised. How did he know
Speaker 1: we were coming to the museum today? Well, what I
Speaker 1: meant was I figured it was just a matter of
Speaker 1: time before you'd stop by because of all the rain,
Speaker 1: said Conroy. Everyone's been looking for inside activities this whole week.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, said Lee, by looking around at all the books,
Speaker 1: just what I wanted to do on my summer vacation
Speaker 1: at the beach, read Ivy's side looking around as their
Speaker 1: parents could tell they were not happy to be there.
Speaker 1: They felt bad for a moment, but then those feelings faded.
Speaker 1: They were instead a bit upset that their kids weren't
Speaker 1: even giving this place a chance, and after they had
Speaker 1: been trying so hard all week to make their rainy
Speaker 1: days fun, they just couldn't take it anymore. Conroy could
Speaker 1: see this and asked if Levi and Ivy's parents wanted
Speaker 1: to explore the museum for a bit because he had
Speaker 1: a sailor story to share with the kids. They agreed
Speaker 1: and walked away to take a few deep breaths and
Speaker 1: try to enjoy their time at the museum. Hey, kiddos,
Speaker 1: why don't you sit down with me for a minute
Speaker 1: while your parents look around, said Conroy. I have a
Speaker 1: story to share with you. It's about a first mate
Speaker 1: who thought the captain of the giant ship he was
Speaker 1: on had the easiest job in the world. The book
Speaker 1: is called the First Mate and the Captain in Conroy
Speaker 1: grabbed a large, old looking book off the bookshelf next
Speaker 1: to him and opened it up. It was filled with
Speaker 1: amazing drawings of giant ships, fierce oceans, and amazing sea like.
Speaker 1: He went on to explain that the first mate thought
Speaker 1: the captain had it easy on the ship. He could
Speaker 1: do whatever he wanted and the whole crew had to
Speaker 1: do everything. He said, it sounds like kids and parents
Speaker 1: giggle diving. Yeah, I feel like mom and dad can
Speaker 1: do whatever they want and we just have to go
Speaker 1: along with it, said Levi. Now I don't know about that,
Speaker 1: said Conroy, and I may have just the thing to
Speaker 1: help you realize that for yourself. Stay here, will I
Speaker 1: get your parents? Conroy called over Levi and Ivy's parents
Speaker 1: to join in with the kids. He then told them
Speaker 1: all to put one hand on the book he was holding.
Speaker 1: As they each touched the book, the rain seemed to
Speaker 1: fall harder outside, and lightning lit up the sky. Thunder
Speaker 1: could be heard rumbling in the distance, and the lights
Speaker 1: in the museum flickered on and on. Keep your hands
Speaker 1: on the book, Conroy insisted. The story in these pages
Speaker 1: is about one person who misunderstood by another. The first
Speaker 1: mate thinks the captain hasn't easy, while the captain wishes
Speaker 1: some days that he could just be a first mate again.
Speaker 1: His job is tough and thankless sometimes, but he has
Speaker 1: to keep going for the good of the ship and
Speaker 1: his crew. Levi and Ivy and their parents didn't quite
Speaker 1: know where this story was going or why they had
Speaker 1: to keep their hands on this book, that is, until
Speaker 1: Conroy said this. LEVI and Ivy are like the first mate,
Speaker 1: and your parents are like the captain. The only way
Speaker 1: you're going to understand how the other one feels is
Speaker 1: by walking a mile in their shoes. Ugh, I guess
Speaker 1: we have to walk for a mile in the rain, now,
Speaker 1: groan Levi. The lights flickered on and off more intensely
Speaker 1: as crash of lightning struck so close they thought it
Speaker 1: had hit the museum. WHOA, that was a close one,
Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy, looking at Levi. On the count of three,
Speaker 1: you will be given the opportunity to switch from first
Speaker 1: mate to captain and the other way around, said Conroy.
Speaker 1: Use your time wisely to see the world from another's
Speaker 1: point of view. Three two why. With those final words
Speaker 1: came one last loud rumble of thlender and a blinding
Speaker 1: lightning strike that made Levi and Ivy and their parents
Speaker 1: close their eyes. When they opened them up, Conray was gone,
Speaker 1: and the museum was quiet. Rain fell lightly outside. Now
Speaker 1: while Levi and Ivy and their parents tried to make
Speaker 1: sense out of what just had happened. Sweetheart, are you okay,
Speaker 1: said a voice that sounded familiar but a bit out
Speaker 1: of place. I'm fine, mom, but can we get out
Speaker 1: of here now, said another voice, sounding quite similar to
Speaker 1: the first. It was then that everyone realized what was
Speaker 1: going on, and it was nothing they could have ever imagined.
Speaker 1: Ivy had switched bodies with her mom, and Levi had
Speaker 1: switched bodies with his dad. Oh my goodness, everyone exclaimed
Speaker 1: at the same time. Conroy tricked us, or put some
Speaker 1: magic spell on us, exclaimed Levi and Ivy's mom sounding
Speaker 1: like Ivy. Or or maybe he's put a pirate's curse
Speaker 1: on us, which could actually be really cool, said Levi,
Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad sounding like Levi. Don't be too, said Ivy,
Speaker 1: sounding like her mom. There has got to be a good,
Speaker 1: common sense explanation for all of this, But as they
Speaker 1: each sat there in stunned silence, they quickly came to
Speaker 1: realize that they hadn't switched bodies, and they didn't know
Speaker 1: how to get everything back to normal. Okay, okay, everyone
Speaker 1: just calm down, said Levi, sounding like his dad. We
Speaker 1: need to think back to what Conroy said, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure we can find some helpful clues there. How can
Speaker 1: you be so calm, said Levi and Ivy's dad. We
Speaker 1: could be stuck like this forever. I'm the dad. I
Speaker 1: have to stay calm, even if I'm freaking out because
Speaker 1: a guy from a sailor museum made of switch bodies,
Speaker 1: said Levi. Well, I'm glad you guys are here, because
Speaker 1: if it was just me all alone, I'd be super scared,
Speaker 1: said Levi. And Ivy's mom. Don't worry, sweetheart, We'll figure
Speaker 1: this out together, said Ivy, giving her mom a big
Speaker 1: hug and making her feel better. Maybe we just need
Speaker 1: to find Conroy, said Levi. Or maybe we can just
Speaker 1: read this note that Conroy left for us, giggled Ivy.
Speaker 1: I would have seen the note, eventually, said Levi. The
Speaker 1: note read, dear Levi, Ivy and your parents, when you
Speaker 1: came into the museum today, I could tell that you
Speaker 1: needed a little help. Sometimes the only way to know
Speaker 1: how another person is feeling, or what their life is
Speaker 1: really like is to walk a mile in their shoes.
Speaker 1: As the old saying goes, this is the start of
Speaker 1: your mile long walk, Levi and Ivy, you have to
Speaker 1: experience life as your parents for the afternoon. Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy's parents, you have to experience life as your kids
Speaker 1: for the afternoon. By the end of it all, I
Speaker 1: hope you realize that what the first mate realized in
Speaker 1: the book I was telling you about, see you soon, Conroy,
Speaker 1: What does the first mate realize? Asked Levi and Ivy's mom.
Speaker 1: Conroy never finished the book. Something tells me, once we
Speaker 1: get to the end of the afternoon, we'll know how
Speaker 1: the story ends, said Ivy, and I think we should
Speaker 1: get started. There you go again, being so positive, said
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivey's mom. How do you do it all
Speaker 1: the time? I stay positive for the two of you, you,
Speaker 1: answered Ivy. There's no sense in sitting around and being
Speaker 1: sad or upset about something that won't change a thing.
Speaker 1: The best we can do is try to figure out
Speaker 1: a solution, and as long as we do it together,
Speaker 1: I know we'll succeed. Levin and Ivy's dad rolled his
Speaker 1: eyes a bit at the unwavering positivity, but it did
Speaker 1: make him feel really good. Let's go, you two, and
Speaker 1: don't forget your Levi started. We know our raincoats and umbrellas,
Speaker 1: said Levin and Ivy's mom. Just give us a chance
Speaker 1: to show you we can do things for ourselves. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, said Levi. What should we do first? Said Ivy. Then,
Speaker 1: before Levi and Ivy's mom and dad had a chance
Speaker 1: to answer, Ivy suggested going to feed the ducks in
Speaker 1: the little pond near the beach. Even though it's raining,
Speaker 1: they still need to eat, said Ivy. And ducks love
Speaker 1: the rain anyway, so I'm sure they'll be out. Okay,
Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy's mom and dad, And then as they
Speaker 1: walked toward their car, they started talking with each other.
Speaker 1: She didn't even give us a chance to say what
Speaker 1: we'd like to do, said Levin Ivy's dad. I know,
Speaker 1: I tried to give a suggestion of something we could
Speaker 1: do just the other day, and before I could, Dad
Speaker 1: suggested going for a drive to the lighthouse. And that
Speaker 1: was it, said Levin Ivy's mom. I mean it was
Speaker 1: fun to go to the lighthouse, replied Levi and Ivy's dad,
Speaker 1: But it would be nice for us to be able
Speaker 1: to pick the activities we do every once in a while.
Speaker 1: Once they got in the car. No one really knew
Speaker 1: what to do next. Since Levi and his dad switched bodies,
Speaker 1: they didn't know who was supposed to drive the car.
Speaker 1: If anyone saw Levi driving, they would have thought something
Speaker 1: was seriously wrong. And while Levi's dad looked the part
Speaker 1: of the car driving adult, Levi was the one that
Speaker 1: really should be driving. I don't know how to drive,
Speaker 1: exclaim Levi's dad, sitting in the driver's seat of their car.
Speaker 1: I mean unless this was a video game, and then
Speaker 1: I'd be great at it. Okay, you're right, said Ivy.
Speaker 1: Let's just walk over and feed the ducks. It's not
Speaker 1: raining that hard now anyway. Levi and Ivy's dad looked
Speaker 1: at their mom and they both knew they wanted to
Speaker 1: say something, so they did. You know what, Levine ivy
Speaker 1: mom began, Maybe we don't want to go feed the
Speaker 1: ducks right now. Well, we didn't hear you give any
Speaker 1: other suggestions, said Levi. That's because you didn't give us
Speaker 1: a chance, replied Levin Ivy's mom. You guys usually pick
Speaker 1: fun stuff for us to do, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but sometimes you don't ask us first, said Levin. And
Speaker 1: Ivy's dad, Yes, feeding the ducks is fun, but right now,
Speaker 1: I was thinking we could go and look for shells
Speaker 1: on the beach. Levi and Ivy looked at each other,
Speaker 1: realizing they were in the wrong. They didn't ask whatever
Speaker 1: anyone wanted to do, and they know that could be
Speaker 1: very frustrating. Okay, let's walk down to the beach and
Speaker 1: look for shells, said Ivy. Is that good with everyone?
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's mom and dad smiled. They love that
Speaker 1: they got to make a suggestion and that everyone gave
Speaker 1: it the okay before they did. Now that we know
Speaker 1: everyone is happy with the activity, we'll all have a
Speaker 1: great time, said Levin Ivy's mom, and they did. As
Speaker 1: they dodged rain drops, they found clamshells, tand dollars, and
Speaker 1: a little crabs scuttling along over the sand. And because
Speaker 1: of the rain, the beach was empty and having its
Speaker 1: all to themselves made the experience even better. I'm really
Speaker 1: happy we did this, said Levi. Thank you for suggesting it.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's mom and dad looked at each other
Speaker 1: and smiled. How about some lunch, asked Ivy. Where should
Speaker 1: we go? They all talked about it and decided to
Speaker 1: get hot dogs at the little stand by the pier
Speaker 1: and eat under the big canopy that was set up
Speaker 1: by the park. When they were ready, Levi put in
Speaker 1: the order. The person working at the hot dog stand
Speaker 1: was a little surprised that a child was ordering for
Speaker 1: his whole family, but he happily wrote down everything. Levi said.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, buddy, we only have one veggie dog left,
Speaker 1: said the man taking Levi's order when he asked for
Speaker 1: two veggie dogs. One was for Ivy and the other
Speaker 1: was for mom. That's okay, said Ivy. I'll just have
Speaker 1: some fries and eat a little something wh else when
Speaker 1: we get back home. But you wanted a veggie dog too,
Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy's mom. I know, but if there's only
Speaker 1: one left, I'd rather you have it, said Ivy with
Speaker 1: a smile. I could never enjoy it knowing that you
Speaker 1: wanted it too. Levi and Ivy's mom looked at their dad.
Speaker 1: That was really nice of her, she said, I know,
Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy' dad, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Speaker 1: It was all starting to sink in Conroy's plan was working.
Speaker 1: Each of them was starting to see exactly how it
Speaker 1: felt to be the other person, and as they ate
Speaker 1: their lunch, they talked more and more about how they
Speaker 1: felt about things. The afternoon rolled on and it started
Speaker 1: to rain a bit harder. After they each had a
Speaker 1: cone of ice cream, which Levin and Ivy's mom suggested,
Speaker 1: Ivy thought they should go back to the museum and
Speaker 1: look for Conroy. They all agreed that would be a
Speaker 1: great idea and hope that Conroy was there when they arrived.
Speaker 1: Thankfully he was. They could all see him sitting in
Speaker 1: the window in his rocking chair as they approached the museum.
Speaker 1: Once inside, they had a lot to say to him. Conroy,
Speaker 1: are you a magician or maybe a wizard? No, wait,
Speaker 1: are you a magical wizard pirate, asked Levine Ivy's dad,
Speaker 1: Not exactly, said Conroy. I've just been around a long
Speaker 1: time and I know how to find solutions to different problems,
Speaker 1: and my favorite is to let the people involve know
Speaker 1: that there's always another side to things. All you have
Speaker 1: to do is open your eyes, your mind and your
Speaker 1: heart to see it. We can't thank you enough, Conroy,
Speaker 1: said Levi. This has been a very eye opening afternoon,
Speaker 1: and we all learned a lot about each other from
Speaker 1: each other. We learned that our kids want to be
Speaker 1: asked their opinions. More. We learned that they like giving
Speaker 1: suggestions and aren't just waiting for us to plan out
Speaker 1: their whole day, said Ivy. And they want a little
Speaker 1: freedom to do the right thing before we ask them to.
Speaker 1: They're great kids and we know they'll do great things,
Speaker 1: said Levi. And we learned that parents don't have it
Speaker 1: as easy as we thought, said Levi and Ivy's dad.
Speaker 1: They never stopped thinking of us and do everything they can,
Speaker 1: every minute of every day to make sure we're happy.
Speaker 1: And sometimes they have to give up their veggie dogs
Speaker 1: because there's only one left and you both ask for one,
Speaker 1: added Levi and Ivy's mom. Wow, that was a really
Speaker 1: specific last example, but I totally understand what you mean,
Speaker 1: said Conroy. You all understand now, and that's exactly what
Speaker 1: the first mate learned about the captain in the book
Speaker 1: I told you about. Conroy then went on to explain
Speaker 1: the captain's job, while really cool, was very hard. He
Speaker 1: constantly had to be thinking of his crew before himself
Speaker 1: and never had a chance to rest, and when he
Speaker 1: and the first mate switched bodies, the first mate found
Speaker 1: this out firsthand, and the Captain learned that the first
Speaker 1: mate had lots of great ideas and was frustrated that
Speaker 1: he was never asked his opinions or to help out more.
Speaker 1: The first mate had big responsibilities too, and looked for
Speaker 1: compliment and encouragement, just like the captain. They learned from
Speaker 1: each other, just like you did today, said Conroy, and
Speaker 1: now your experience is over, so if you could please
Speaker 1: put your hand back on the book, the first mate
Speaker 1: and the Captain, Levi and Ivy and their parents took
Speaker 1: a second before doing so, and just looked at each other,
Speaker 1: really seeing each other in a different light and respecting
Speaker 1: and appreciating each other so much in that moment, We're ready,
Speaker 1: they all said together. Once each one of them had
Speaker 1: a hand on the book Conroy was holding. Once again,
Speaker 1: the rain started falling harder outside as it had before,
Speaker 1: and the lightning filled the sky. A rumble of thunder
Speaker 1: in the distance made it clear that something big was
Speaker 1: coming next. A flash of lightning caused the lights in
Speaker 1: the museum to go out completely, and after a second
Speaker 1: or two, everyone opened their eyes. One by one. They
Speaker 1: looked at each other and knew in an instant that
Speaker 1: everything was back to normal. They had a big family
Speaker 1: hug and thank Conroy again for all his help. It
Speaker 1: was my pleasure to help, said Conroy, and if you
Speaker 1: ever need me again, you know where to find me.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy and their parents walked outside with their
Speaker 1: raincoats and umbrellas, which Levi and Ivy remembered to grab
Speaker 1: without being told, and noticed that it finally had stopped raining.
Speaker 1: A big rainbow spread across the sky overhead and stretched
Speaker 1: all the way from the museum back to their vacation house.
Speaker 1: Once they arrived back at their house, they got changed
Speaker 1: for the beach and went to enjoy the activities they
Speaker 1: had been waiting all week for. The next day was
Speaker 1: even nicer, and they decided, after a long morning at
Speaker 1: the beach to see if Conroy wanted to join them
Speaker 1: for lunch. It would be a nice way to say
Speaker 1: thank you again for helping them out the other day.
Speaker 1: They hopped in their car and drove to the north
Speaker 1: side of the beach, and there nestled between two old storefronts,
Speaker 1: and the part of town they had never seen before
Speaker 1: until yesterday was nothing at all. The only thing between
Speaker 1: the two stores was an empty lot and a plaque
Speaker 1: on a stand. Levi and Ivy and their parents ran
Speaker 1: over to the plaque to see what it said and
Speaker 1: hoped it would explain where the museum and Conroy had gone.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's dad read the plaque. Levi and Ivy
Speaker 1: looked all around to see if they could spot Conroy anywhere.
Speaker 1: On the plaque, it said, on this spot a very
Speaker 1: long time ago stood a library dedicated to the stories
Speaker 1: of the sea. It was opened by one of the
Speaker 1: best first mates to ever sail the Seven Seas, Conroy Tides,
Speaker 1: opened after his time sailing was through. He wished to
Speaker 1: pass down the tails of the sea to the new
Speaker 1: generations of sailors. He was respected by all who knew
Speaker 1: him as a problem solver, a kind soul, and a
Speaker 1: dedicated sailor. The library washed away in a giant four
Speaker 1: day storm that struck the island on August nineteenth, nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty five. Only one book was saved after the storm
Speaker 1: by Conroy and can be seen in the new library
Speaker 1: that was built in the center of town. It stands
Speaker 1: as a reminder of all the good Conroy did for
Speaker 1: others and his connection to the sea. The book is
Speaker 1: titled the First Mate and the Captain. Levi and Ivy
Speaker 1: and their parents stood their stun by what they were reading.
Speaker 1: August nineteenth, nineteen twenty five, was exactly one hundred years yesterday,
Speaker 1: said Levi and Ivy's mom. And I think Conroy may
Speaker 1: have been the first made from the story. So just yesterday,
Speaker 1: Conroy's library was right here, and so was he, and
Speaker 1: now both of them are gone and have been for
Speaker 1: a hundred years, asked Levi. Conroy was a ghost, asked Ivy.
Speaker 1: I'm not scared by that thought. Though. He was so
Speaker 1: nice and he did so much for us in one afternoon.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy we got to meet him, definitely, said Levi.
Speaker 1: Ghost or not, Conroy was, I mean, is awesome. Thanks Conroy,
Speaker 1: wherever you are. Levi and Ivy's parents agreed completely and
Speaker 1: decided this was by far the best vacation they had
Speaker 1: ever been on, and without saying another word, they thanked
Speaker 1: Conroy again got back into their car, taking with them
Speaker 1: the lessons of a y sailor who knew the power
Speaker 1: of walking a mile in another person's shoes to see
Speaker 1: the world through their eyes. Thanks for joining us today.
Speaker 1: We hope you enjoyed the story and learned a little
Speaker 1: something too, And since we know everyone has their own story,
Speaker 1: we'd love to hear yours. If you have an idea
Speaker 1: for a lively Lewis story, leave a comment on our
Speaker 1: Apple Podcast review page with five stars, your idea, and
Speaker 1: your little one's name. Then maybe I'm next to thank
Speaker 1: you will be with you until our next story time
Speaker 1: hangout gan forms the name. We can't wait to share
Speaker 1: another fun, Livery Lewis story. Two
