Speaker 1: below in our show notes. Now, let's dive into today's story.

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: One hot summer afternoon, Ivy, Levi, and their friend Haven

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: arrived for the water park with their mom. They had

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: been talking about this trip for weeks and we're excited

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: to finally be here, especially Haven. This was because she

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to ride the newest and best water slide

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: at the park, the Hawaiian Zoom. The theme of this

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: particular waterslide was a fantastic journey through a fabulous zoom

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: in Hawaii. Haven loved Hawaii and animals, so she couldn't

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: wait to give it a try. Haven ran right over

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: to the line for the Hawaiian Zoom as Levi and

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Ivy and their mom tried to keep up with her.

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Come on, hurry up, we have to get a line

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: before it gets too long, shouted Haven as she ran

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: up to the entrance area. Too late, said Levi, as

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: all three kids stopped in their tracks in front of

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: a sign that said, from this point, your wait is

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: three hours to ride the Hawaiian Zoom. Three hours, exclaimed Haven.

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Are they kidding? I can't wait that long. Well, we

27
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: can't wait that long either, added Ivy. How about we

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: go on some other rides first, Yeah, ones that don't

29
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: have lines as long as a superhero movie, added Levi.

30
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: After all, you waited like three weeks to ride this

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: water slide. You can wait a few more hours until

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the crowds clear out and the line isn't so long.

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: You have a point, Levi agreed Haven. Okay, we can

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: write some other water slides, but promise that we'll come

35
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: back to the Hawaiian Zoom before the park closes. Levi

36
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: and Ivy both promised and ran off with Haven to

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: write us some other water slides. As their mom tried

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: to keep up, She watched as the kids enjoyed slide

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: after a slide in the hot summer sun. The afternoon

40
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: went on and the three friends were having a wonderful time,

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: but Haven had not forgotten about the Hawaiian Zoom. She

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: kept reminding Ivy and Levi that they had to make

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: time for that ride. Ivy and Levi told Haven they

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't forget, but after so many water slides, they kind

45
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: of lost track of time, and before they knew it,

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: the sun was starting to set, and that's when they

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: heard an announcement over the loud speaker. He friends, what

48
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: do you think that announcement's going to be? Oh, let's

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: find out. Attention, water park guess we will be closing

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: in fifteen minutes. Please take your final water ride now,

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: and thank you for cooling off with us today. What

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: Haven exclaimed as she froze in the splash pad. We

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: need to get over to the Hawaiian Zoom right now.

54
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Haven took off running, and Ivy and leave I had

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: no choice but to follow her. They did, after all,

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: promise that they'd ride that water side with her before

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: they left. Unfortunately for Haven, they were all the way

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: over on the other side of the water park, and

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: by the time they made their way to the Hawaiian Zoom,

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: the person running that slide was just pulling the clothes

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: sign across the entrance area. Sorry, kiddos, but we're clothes

62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: for the day. The worker said, maybe you can come

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: back tomorrow. No, shouted Haven, pleading with the worker, she

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: saw his name tag and tried to reason with him. Listen, Dave,

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: you don't understand, Haven began, This is the only side

66
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to ride today, but the line was too long.

67
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: When we got here, we went on some other rides

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: and lost track of time, and there's no way we

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: can get back here tomorrow or any other time this summer.

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: I need to ride the Hawaiian Zoom today. Please, wow, kid,

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: you sound serious, said Dave, feeling bad for Haven. I'm

72
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: not supposed to do this, but I'm gonna let you

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: take a ride. But just you, I can't let your

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: friends go too. I'm sorry. Just make it quick. Levi

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: and Ivy gave Haven the thumbs up when she turned

76
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: around to get there. Okay, thank you so much, Haven

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: called out to Dave, Ivy and Levi as she took off,

78
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: running up the steps to the top of the water slide.

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Ivy and Levi walked around to the front of the slide,

80
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: where it emptied out into a huge pool that was

81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: meant to look like a watering hole that had life

82
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: sized statues of hippos, elephants, and zebras surrounding it. At

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: that point, Levi and Ivy's mom finally caught up with them.

84
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: Why are you all running so fast? She asked. They

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: explained to their mom where Haven was and that she

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: should be splashing down into the pool and nope, time

87
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: then they'd be all set to head home. So Ivy,

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Levi and their mom waited, and they waited, and they waited.

89
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: How long is this slide exactly? Asked their mom. At

90
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: this point, everyone was getting a little concern. Then they

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: saw Dave as he was heading out for the day.

92
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: Excuse me, did our friend go down the slide yet?

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: Levi asked, Yes, she should have been down already. Dave replied,

94
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what could have happened. You don't think

95
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: she got stuck in the tube slide, do you, asked Ivy. No,

96
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: I've never seen that happen before, said Dave. But I

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: have heard of people well kind of sliding into a

98
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: different part of the park when they go on this slide.

99
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean, then, Dave went on to tell Ivy, Levi,

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: and their mom how something similar had happened to a

101
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: few other people when the slide first opened. They took

102
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: a really long time to come out, and when they

103
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: finally did, they talked about visiting a zoo in Hawaii

104
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: filled with amazing animals. After hearing that, Ivy jumped into

105
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: the pool. She swam over to the bottom of the

106
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: tube slide and called to Haven. She didn't hear anything,

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: but kept calling. Then, just as she was turning to

108
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: swim back, she thought she heard voice. Levi, did you

109
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: say something, asked Ivy. Not me, But I heard something too,

110
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: replied Levi, who swam over towards Ivy. It sounds like

111
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: it's coming from inside the slide. Hello, Ivey called out again, Haven,

112
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: is that you? Ivy and Levi waited a few seconds,

113
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: not hearing in response. Then suddenly a small voice could

114
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: be heard saying, Ivy, you have to see this. It's amazing, Haven,

115
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: where are you? Called out Ivy, recognizing her friend's voice.

116
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: She was so excited that Haven was okay. Haven's voice

117
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: was faint and echoed in the large tube slide, but

118
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Ivy could understand every word. Ivy I'm in the most

119
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: amazing zoo in Hawaii. They are wonderful animals everywhere. You

120
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: have to see it, called Haven over the distance, sound

121
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: of birds chirping and elephants trumpeting. Okay, Haven, don't move,

122
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: Levi and I will figure out a way to get

123
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: down there. Ivey replied, thank you, Ivy. I can't wait

124
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: to show you this place, answered Haven. After looking around

125
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: a bit, Levi, Ivy, and Dave and their mom found

126
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: a long rope with a float tied to the end.

127
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: They tried putting that into the slide for Haven to

128
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: grab onto, but the rushing water kept pushing the float

129
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: back out. That's when Ivy knew she had to go

130
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: down the slide from the top to get to her friend.

131
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Don't worry, Mom, I'll be all right, said Ivy. I

132
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: know you can do it, said Levi. As they watched

133
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: Ivy walk up the stairs to the top of the slide.

134
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: She counted backwards from three, jumped into the slide, and

135
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: off she went. It was like any ordinary water slide

136
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: at first, but then things changed. Flashing lights filled the

137
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: tube slide, and Ivy heard the sound of different animals

138
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: getting louder and louder, she had to close her eyes

139
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: when the lights got too bright, and then in no

140
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: time she found herself outside of the water slide, sitting

141
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: in the middle of the most magnificent zoo, and running

142
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: up to her was Haven, with a huge smile on

143
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: her face. But Ivy couldn't quite concentrate on that, only

144
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: because behind Haven, we're just about every animal that Ivy

145
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: could possibly imagine, and behind them was the most amazing

146
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: backdrop of Hawaiian mountains and palm trees. What is this place,

147
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: Ivy asked as Haven ran up to her. It's the

148
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: inside of the Hawaiian Zoom water Slide. Now do you

149
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: see why I wanted to go on this slide? I

150
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: heard it was amazing, but I could have never imagined this,

151
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: exclaimed Haven. We don't have too much time, Ivy began.

152
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: Everyone is waiting for us to get back to the

153
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: water park. But now that you're here, you have to

154
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: look around a bit, said Haven. Ivy couldn't deny the

155
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: place was incredible and really did want to see a

156
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: little more before they headed back. But wait, before we go,

157
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: what's that tied around your waist? Haven asked. Ivy exclaimed

158
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: that it was the float tied to a long rope.

159
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: The other end of the rope was being held by Levi,

160
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: Dave and their mom. They were waving back at the

161
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: water park to pull them out of the slide. So

162
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: we only have a few minutes, Ivy told Haven, Well,

163
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: let's get going, replied Haven with a smile. The two

164
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: friends then walked through the Hawaiian landscape, which was full

165
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: of mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and what seemed like every

166
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: other animal you could think of. They watched orangutans climb

167
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: high in the trees above. They saw gazelles prancing along

168
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the plain. They gazed at two cans soaring overhead, and

169
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: they giggled as sleepy sloths relaxing nearby trees. There were lions, tigers, rhinos,

170
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: and zebras far off in the distance, silhouetted against the

171
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: setting sun. It looked like the pages of a picture

172
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: book had sprung to life in front of them. It

173
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: was amazing. The further they walked, the more animals they saw. Moose, deer, fox, rabbits, iguanas, armadillos, hedgehogs,

174
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: and to name a few. But as Ivy went to

175
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: take another step, she felt the rope tightened around her waist.

176
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: She had gone as far as she could. I'm sorry, Haven,

177
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: we have to go back now, said Ivy. This was incredible,

178
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: but everyone is waiting for us. Back at the water park,

179
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Haven knew it was time to go. Although she was

180
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: sad to leave, she was so happy that she not

181
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: only got to ride the Hawaiian Zoom, but also got

182
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: to see what truly made it the best water slide

183
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: in the whole world. Haven and Ivy said goodbye to

184
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the animals as they reached the spot where Ivy had

185
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: dropped through the slide and into the zoo. They gave

186
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: a tug on the rope and Levi, Dave, and Ivy's

187
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: mom pulled the girl's back up the slide and out

188
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: into the pool waiting at the bottom. They were all

189
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: so happy to see each other, and while Ivy and

190
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Haven didn't know exactly how to explain what happened to them,

191
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: they knew one thing for sure, the Hawaiian Zoom water slide,

192
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: no matter how long the line, was worth the weight.

193
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Did you learn a lesson from this story? Page South?

194
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: What was it? And parents, do your kids have a story? Idea?

195
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: Leave a comment on our Apple Podcast review page with

196
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,120

197
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: chance to join Levi and Ivy on their next adventure.

198
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,720
