Speaker 2: on an adventure.

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 3: All you need is your imagination and off we go,

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 3: Livey Larius Stories.

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: Hey, they're awesome friends.

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: Guess what.

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: We're super thrilled to share some exciting news with you.

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: We've got our very own Lively Lewis merchandise.

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: Now, let's dive into today's story. Levi and Ivy jumped

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 3: out of the car as soon as their parents pulled

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: into the driveway. Slow down, you two, I barely put

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: the car in park, said their dad. He was happy

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: they were so excited to be on vacation, but didn't

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: want them to get hurt. Levi and Ivy loved going

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: on vacation, and this year their family was trying something

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: completely new. They rented a cabin on a beautiful lake

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: and were staying for a week. They planned to hike, sail, jet, ski,

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: and swim every day. Levi and Ivy were also interested

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: in doing some exploring. They knew there had to be

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: lots of interesting and exciting places to discover around the lake.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 3: The air was fresh, and Levi and Ivy each took

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: a big, deep breath as they grabbed their bags from

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: the trunk. They threw them on the deck and asked

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: their parents if they could take a look around. Yes,

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: but please don't go in the lake, said their mom.

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: I heard there's a short walking path right behind our cabin.

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: Why don't you check it out, but be back in

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 3: about twenty minutes. To help put some of these things away,

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy's mom pointed toward their car trunk, which

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: was filled to the brim with supplies for the week. Okay, mom,

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: sounds good, said Levi. We'll be back in just a bit,

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: said Ivy.

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy took off down the little path as

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: the birds chirped in the trees overhead. They could see

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: the lake as they ran, and the water glistened in

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: the sun. I can't wait to take a swim with

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: mom and dad when we get back, said Ivy. That'll

41
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: be fun, but I can't wait to use the jet skis.

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Dad said I could ride with him all around the lake,

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: added Levi, pretending like he was driving a jet ski

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: and zooming around the lake. The path wound around several

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: groves of trees and up and down small hills. Levi

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: and Ivy were really enjoying all the beautiful nature around

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: them when something unusual happened. Do you hear that? Asked Ivy.

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Levi stopped to listen and said, yeah, it sounds like music,

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: kind of like the music you hear at the carnival.

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: But who would be playing carnival music in the middle

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: of the forest, asked Ivy. Maybe there's a carnival in

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: the forest, asked Levi, looking really excited. Come on, Levi,

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: who would set up a carnival all the way out here,

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: giggled Ivy. The squirrels Levi laughed, but they still both

55
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: heard the music. As they walked. It was getting louder

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: and louder.

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: It's just so strange, said Ivy. It sounds it's like.

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: It's coming from right behind this big wall of evergreen trees.

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: I think we should have a look, suggested Levi with

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: a smile. After all, carnivals are great, even if they're

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: run by squirrels. Levi and Ivy we always up for

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: an adventure and decided to take a closer look. They

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: each grabbed an evergreen branch and pulled them back like

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: they were opening a door, and there before them was

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: a carnival, well sort of. It was definitely a carnival

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: at one time, but now it looked deserted and sad.

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: The rides were rusted and covered in long vines. Tall

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: grass grew around the ticket boosts and the food stands,

69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: and the signs for the game area were chipping and

70
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: falling apart. Birds nested in the ferris wheel carts, fallen

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: trees leaned against the tracks of a small roller coaster,

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: and strings of lights laid on the forest floor, once

73
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: bright and twinkling, now dark and still. However, the music

74
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: still made it seem somewhat magical.

75
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: If you closed your eyes.

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: You can image all the fun and laughs that were

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: shared there over the years. Just as Levi and Ivy

78
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: started to explore a bit more, the music stopped.

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: What happened, said Ivy. I don't know.

80
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: I wonder why the music stopped, replied Levi. Let's keep

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: looking around, though. This place is so cool. As Levi

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: and Ivy looked around, they found more and more carnival toys,

83
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: posters advertising different shows that were performed weekly. Red and

84
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: white striped paper boxes holding popcorn and colorful bags for

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: holding cotton candy.

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: There were bumper cars that had settled into the forest

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: floor and could barely move, next to a carousel where

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: the painted horses were faded and chipped. Well, this place

89
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 2: is really cool. It's kind of making me sad, said Ivy.

90
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: I know what you mean, said Levi. It's sad that

91
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: it's not open anymore. I wonder who owned it and

92
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: why it was forgotten about. It wasn't forgotten about, said

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: a voice from behind the ticket booth. I've never forgotten it.

94
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: I love this place, and so did my family. Levi

95
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: and Ivy ran to each other. They were scared, and

96
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: they didn't know who would step out from behind that

97
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: ticket booth. However, when they saw who it was, they

98
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: immediately felt a sense of calm. It was a little

99
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: girl about Levi's age. She had red hair and freckles,

100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: and was wearing an old, faded T shirt that said

101
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: Coral Carnival Company on it. I didn't mean to scare you.

102
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: I just don't like it when people think we abandoned

103
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: this place, said the little girl. My family wanted to

104
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: keep it open, but they just didn't have the money

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: to do it anymore. I'm sorry if we made you upset,

106
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: said Ivy. I'm Ivy and this is my brother Levi.

107
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: What's your name? My name is Kennedy Coral, said the

108
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: little girl. Welcome to Coral Carnival. My great grandparents opened

109
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: it here by the lake before I was born, and

110
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: it was like open for fifty years. Then when my

111
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: parents were kids, it shut down. My family never wanted

112
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: to take down the rides and booths because they always

113
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: thought someday someone would open it back up and I

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: couldn't help run it. But that it hasn't happened.

115
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy could tell Kennedy was really passionate about

116
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: her family carnival, and they.

117
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Wanted to help her.

118
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: Kennedy, this place is truly special and magical, said Ivy.

119
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: We could feel that as soon as we walked through

120
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: those trees. Thanks for saying that.

121
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: By the way, how did you find the carnival, asked Kennedy,

122
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: since it was quite a little way off the hiking path.

123
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, we heard something that let us hear. Levi began.

124
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: He felt strange, saying they heard carnival music that just

125
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: stopped as soon as they arrived, but he had a

126
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 3: feeling Kennedy would understand. Was it carnival music? Kennedy asked, yes,

127
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: said Ivy, looking at LEVI. Have you heard it too

128
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: all the time, replied Kennedy. But when I get here

129
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 3: and I look around for where it's coming from, it

130
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: just stops. I know it's the magic that just lives here.

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: I just have to find it and then my family

132
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: and I can get the carnival back up and running again.

133
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: I just know it.

134
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: Kennedy asked if Levi and Ivy wanted a little tour,

135
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: and of course they said yes, But as time went by,

136
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: they knew their parents would be expecting them back at

137
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: the cabin. I'm sorry, Kennedy, but we have to go,

138
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: said Ivy.

139
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Do you think we could meet you back here tomorrow?

140
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Kennedy said that would be great, as she really liked

141
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy and they liked her too. They all

142
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: said goodbye to each other and turned to head back home.

143
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: Kennedy lived by the lake with her family year round.

144
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: But as they began to walk away, the music started again.

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: They all turned around very quickly and it stopped it's

146
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: the magic, called out Kennedy. We just have to find it.

147
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: See you tomorrow. Levi and Ivy hurried back to the

148
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: cabin and explained to their parents what they had seen

149
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: in the forest. While that sounds really cool, please don't

150
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: go on any of those rides. They're old and could

151
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: be dangerous, said their mom, while their dad's biggest concern

152
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: was asking if they found any extra bags of cotton

153
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: candy laying around. Ew Dad, that cotton candy would be

154
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: old and stale, said Levi. Just joking, kiddo, said their dad,

155
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: but he did look a little disappointed. Levi and Ivy

156
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: promised not to do anything dangerous, and we're still planning

157
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: to go back and meet Kennedy there the next day,

158
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: but until then, they helped organize the cabin, went swimming

159
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: and had a cookout on the deck overlooking the lake.

160
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: The next day was a bit dreary and overcast clouds

161
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: filled the sky, but Levi and Ivy felt that something

162
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: amazing would happen that day. They told their parents they

163
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: were going to explore the carnival again and that they'd

164
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: be back for lunch.

165
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 3: They headed out, and before long they heard the carnival

166
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 3: music again. They walked through the evergreen trees and found

167
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: Kennedy waiting for them. I'm so glad you came back,

168
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 3: Kennedy said with a big smile as the music stopped.

169
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: The only thing we need to do today is find

170
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: that music I know. With you here, we'll get the

171
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: answers I've been searching for. Levi and Ivy agreed, and

172
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: they all began to look around. The music played on

173
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: and off as they searched. A fog fell over the

174
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: carnival area and made it look even more magical, as

175
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: if they were walking around in a cloud. After about

176
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: an hour of searching, Kennedy, Levi, and Ivy hadn't found anything.

177
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 3: They were a little discouraged and thought that maybe there

178
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: was nothing to find, maybe the music wasn't real and

179
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: it was just in their heads. Levi sat down in

180
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: one of the bumper cars, Ivy took a seat on

181
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: one of the carousel horses, and Kennedy poked her head

182
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: out from inside a ticket booth that was falling over

183
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: a bit. The three friends looked disappointed until something magical happened.

184
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: The music started again, which wasn't unusual to them, but

185
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: what happened next was the bumper car that Levi was

186
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: in began to shake and rumble, The carousel horse that

187
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: Ivy was sitting on began to move up and down

188
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: very slowly, and the ticket booth that Kennedy was standing

189
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: in seemed to ride itself and wasn't leaning over anymore.

190
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: What's going on, Levi asked, as he froze where he was.

191
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of incredible, but what should we do?

192
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: It's the magic, exclaimed Kennedy. Just stay still and see

193
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: what happens.

194
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: Ivy smiled at Kennedy and Levi, and they all watched

195
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: as the carnival came back to life before their eyes.

196
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: The once deserted looking carnival seemed to be growing and

197
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: changing every second. The once rusty rides were now shiny

198
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: and new looking. The vines that were wrapped around them

199
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: were gone. The tall grass that grew around the ticket

200
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: booth was replaced with a neat path inviting people to

201
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: walk up and buy. The food stands were full of

202
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 2: tasty foods, and signs for the games now looked freshly

203
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: painted and sat proudly on their posts, pointing to the

204
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: way of fun and adventure. The Farri's wheel carts were

205
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: no longer bird houses and went round and round high

206
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: in the sky. No more fallen trees lay against the

207
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: small roller coaster track, whose shiny metal glistened once again,

208
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: and through the lifting fog you could see the lights

209
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: no longer laying on the ground, strung up on the

210
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: building rooftops, twinkling and sparkling the magic, whispered Levi and Ivy.

211
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: Levi stepped out of the bumper car he was in,

212
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: onto a beautiful rink where all the other looked brand

213
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: new and ready to ride. Ivy went round and round

214
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: on the carousel as she bobbed up and down on

215
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: her horse, which looks something like out of a fairy tale.

216
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: Kennedy ran out of the ticket booth and spun around,

217
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: taking it all in. It's even more wonderful than I

218
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: could have ever imagined. Wait until my parents see this.

219
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: We did it. We brought the carnival back, Kennedy exclaimed.

220
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough. Levi and Ivy, this is amazing,

221
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: said Levi.

222
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: Ivy jumped off the carousel and ran over to Kennedy

223
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: and her brother. I know what it is now, Kennedy

224
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: began I know what.

225
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: The magic is. It's us.

226
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: It's having kids back at the carnival that makes his

227
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: place magic. It's the smiles, the laughing, the happiness, and

228
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: the joy that we all feel when we're here. I

229
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: just needed a few more kids to share the fun

230
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: with me to make it all happen. Levi and Ivy

231
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: gave Kennedy a big hug, so happy they could help

232
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: bring her family carnival back. What do we do now,

233
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: Ivy said, with a big smile on her face. We

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: need to tell our parents, said Levi and Kennedy together,

235
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: and that's exactly what they did. They each ran to

236
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: get their mom and dad's and met back there in

237
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: no time. They were all completely shocked and couldn't help

238
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: but smile from ear to ear as the sights, sounds,

239
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: and smells of the carnival swirled all around them.

240
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: We don't know how you did it, kids.

241
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 3: But we're so happy that you did it, said Kennedy's dad,

242
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: whose family had opened the carnival all those years ago.

243
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: We've missed this place so much and are so happy

244
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 3: to have it back, said Kennedy's mom. She used to

245
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: go to the carnival when she was a little girl,

246
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: and that's how she met Kennedy's dad. It's a magical,

247
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: special place. The rest of the week, Levi, Ivy and

248
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: Kennedy helped around the carnival and got ready for its

249
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 3: first opening day in decades.

250
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: The Coral Carnival opened to the public later again that summer,

251
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: but along with rides, games, and tasty carnival treats, they

252
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: also had returned the magic to a very special place

253
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: that families could enjoy for a long long time. And

254
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: all it took was a little joy, laughter and happiness.

255
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: Did you learn a lesson from this story? A sou

256
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: what was it?

257
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: And? Parents, do your kids have a story idea?

258

00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,440

262
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,880
