1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Buckle up, because you're about to join Levi and Ivy

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: on an adventure.

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: All you need is your imagination. An off we go

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Rivy Rare Stories.

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Three two one called out Levi, Ivy and their classmates.

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: As the submarine they're in dip below the surface of

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: the ocean waves, the world around them changed.

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: Completely in just an instant.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: Schools of colorful fish swam by, their fins shimmering as

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: they glided this way and that. Sea turtles floated along

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: without a care in the world, munching on seagrass and

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: waving to the kids at their huge flippers. Jellyfish bobbed

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: up and down in the water as they drifted along

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: with the current.

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: That reminds me of a joke, Levi said, with a giggle.

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: What kind of sandwich do sea turtles bring on school

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: field trips? Peanut butter and jellyfish? Levi laughed, as Ivy

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: and his classmates rolled their eyes.

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: They had heard all of Levi's silly jokes many times before.

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: They were so interested in watching the animals outside the

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: submarine windows that they weren't really paying much attention anyways.

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: As they sunk deeper under the waves, the water became

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: still and filled with giant, colorful coral. The reef was

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: home to so many animals. The kids started calling out

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: everything they were seeing, clownfish, stingrays, weef sharks, dolphins, sea.

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Lions, and so many more.

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: We need to get a picture of this, exclaimed Ivy

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: as she remembered about the underwater camera that was attached

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: to the outside of the submarine. All the kids agreed

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: as they stepped in front of a large control panel

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: on the wall of the submarine. There were levers, knobs, buttons,

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 2: TV monitors, and lots of other very important and complicated

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: looking things.

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure we.

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Can figure out which of these operates the underwater camera.

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Said Ivy.

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: I definitely know which button it is, declared Shelby, one

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: of the other kids on the submarine. She stepped towards

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: the big metal panel with her finger outstretched.

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: It's this one. But before she.

42
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Could press the button, Levi's friend Connor, stepped in front

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: of her.

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: You have no.

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: Idea what you're talking about, Connor, snapped Shelby. It's actually

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: this button. But before Connor could press the button, I've

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: stopped him. Actually Connor and Shelby. You're both wrong, I've

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: be pointed out. It's clearly this big blue button right here. Well,

49
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: the suggestions didn't stop there, and neither did Levi's bad jokes. Hey, everyone,

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: which fish was named funniest in their class? Levi began,

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: as his glassmates groaned the clownfish, of course, get it,

52
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: get it, because clowns are funny. LEVI just stop, shot

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: at Devin. No one wants to hear any more of

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: your jokes. They're not even funny. Levi looked sad and

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: walked away from the group with his head down as

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: Devon and the rest of the kids turned their attention

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: back to the big control panel. I was so busy

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: trying to press the button for the underwater camera that

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: she didn't even check on Levi. Each kid in the

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: class had their own thoughts about which button to press

61
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: and to get the best underwater picture, until all of

62
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: a sudden, they couldn't hold back.

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: And each of them pressed a different button at the

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: same time. That was not the best idea. The engine to.

65
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: The submarine stopped immediately with a loud grinding sound, and

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: a little puff of gray smoke could be seen sailing

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: up towards the surface. All the animals swimming and playing

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: by the reef were scared by the noise and quickly

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: swam away. And that's when the real problem began. This

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: would have been a great time for all the kids

71
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: in the submarine to work together to find a solution

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: to their underwater problem, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Good job, Shelby,

73
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: I told you it was the wrong button, Connor said

74
00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: in huff. My button wasn't wrong, it was yours. Shelby replied, well,

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: I think you're both wrong.

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: Argue Devin.

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: Clearly my button was the correct choice, and by pushing

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: all the others, you all sank the submarine.

79
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Iby quickly added. All the kids were arguing so much.

80
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: That they didn't quite realize that they were sinking deeper

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: and deeper into the ocean. The once colorful and sunlit

82
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: water around them began to turn dark. Emergency lights on

83
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: the submarine turned on and finally got the kid's attention,

84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: but that didn't stop the name calling and arguing. It

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: only made them realize that they had a bigger problem

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: on their hands than they first thought. Oh great, see

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: what you did, Connor, Devin called out, how are we

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: going to get out of this mess? Just then, the

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: submarine landed with a thud, and everything was still and

90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: dark outside the windows, so dark, in fact, that the

91
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: kids could see their submarine was teetering on the edge

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: of a very tall underwater cliff. As they blame each

93
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: other for their situation, the kids pounded around the submarine,

94
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: each trying to find their own solution instead of working together.

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 2: The constant movement rocked the little submarine back and forth

96
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: as the bioluminescent light of deep dwelling sea creatures dotted

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: the dark water like stars in the night sky. As

98
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: the submarine rocked and moved, it got closer and closer

99
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: to the edge of the cliff, until.

100
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Finally it went over. Had that moment, the kids knew

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: they were sinking even further and started to get scared.

102
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: What are we gonna do?

103
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: Ivey said, looking at the other kids, You all did this.

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: You have to fix it. If you want to.

105
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: Listen to my jokes instead of arguing, then we wouldn't

106
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: be in this mess in the first place, added Levi

107
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: as he rejoined the group. No one wants to hear

108
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: your jokes, Levi shall be called out. Yeah, they're not funny,

109
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: added Devin. All the kids started to talk over each

110
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: other and blame each other for the situation they were in,

111
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 2: but not once did any of them suggest that maybe

112
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: they apologize to each other and worked together to find

113
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: a solution. As the kids continued to argue, the submarine

114
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: once again touched down on solid ground. But when they

115
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: looked out the windows, they couldn't believe.

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: What they saw. The dark, murky waters.

117
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: Had been replaced by the most beautiful undersea kingdom they

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: could have ever imagined. Rainbow fish, dolphins, and whales played

119
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: together amongst flowing kelp and colorful chloral. But that was

120
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: totally normal compared to what they saw next.

121
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: Mur people.

122
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: Shelby and Ivy called out as the mermaid and merman

123
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: swam up to the side of the submarine.

124
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: They wore shell jewelry.

125
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: And coral crowns, and their tails it shimmered and glowed

126
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 2: as they swam through the water. This is amazing, Devin

127
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: and Connor shouted. By the time, Levi ran over to

128
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: take a look himself. Even though he was still feeling

129
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: a little bad about how the other kids had treated him,

130
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: he couldn't miss this.

131
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: Hello, the murh people said.

132
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: What brings you to our wonderful world.

133
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Under the waves. The kids started to explain their situation

134
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: and ride away. The Murr people knew exactly how to

135
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 1: fix it.

136
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: Shelby started out, then Devin interrupted her, Ivy and Connor.

137
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: They were talking all over each other, and Levi he

138
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: just sat by himself and he didn't interact at all.

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: It seems that you have a much bigger problem than

140
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: a submarine that's not working, said the mermaid.

141
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: You seem to have a whole group.

142
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: That's not working, added the Mermaan. The kids all stopped

143
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: and listened to what they had to say. The Murr

144
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: people told them that unkind words create unkind situations, hurt feelings,

145
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: and misunderstandings. They went on to tell them that the

146
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: only way they would be able to get back home

147
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: is if they worked together, considered each other's feelings, and

148
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: treated each other as they would like to be treated.

149
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: We'll leave you alone for a little bit to see

150
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: if you can work this out, the mermaid said, before

151
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: swioming away.

152
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: We know you can do it.

153
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: Added the Murmaan as he followed close behind her. Ivy Shelby, Devin, Connor,

154
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: and Levi all sat together on the floor of the submarine.

155
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: Then Shelby suggested that they all take turns saying how

156
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: they were feeling. Everyone took a turn and expressed that

157
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: they felt hurt that no one was listening to them.

158
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: That's funny, how we all were upset about the same thing.

159
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: Ivy giggled for the first time since they got on

160
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: the submarine.

161
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: All the kids were smiling.

162
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: I think I saw a submarine instruction sheet over there

163
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: by the door, said Devin. Maybe we can look at

164
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 2: it together and see how to get the sub working again.

165
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: Ivy and Connor grabbed the sheet and everyone looked through

166
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: it together. They quickly found out that one of the

167
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: buttons they had pressed was a master shut off, and

168
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: all they had to do to get the sub up

169
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: and running was push the button again. The kids were

170
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: happy that they figured out how to get back to

171
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: the surface, but they were even happier that they were

172
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: all friends again. You know what we need to celebrate

173
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: solving our problem together, Ivy asked, a joke. Yeah, LEVI

174
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: were sorry that we weren't being.

175
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: Nice to you before, said Devin.

176
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: Your jokes are always fig Me said, Shelby, get it

177
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: fin like fish fins. Levi was happy to hear his

178
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: friends apologize and was ready with a perfect joke.

179
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: What fish is best? It's all me math problems, Levi asked,

180
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: uh too, no fish.

181
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: Everyone laughed out loud as the Murr people swam back

182
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: to the submarine window. It looks like this group has

183
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: fixed their problem, the mermaid said.

184
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: Good for you.

185
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Always remember what you learned here today, began the merman.

186
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: Working together, considering each other's feelings and treating others as

187
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: you would like to be treated will always save the day.

188
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: Kind words will always move you closer to a solution,

189
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: because everyone will feel valued, appreciated, and heard.

190
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: The mermaid added, have.

191
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: A wonderful trip back to the surface and come back

192
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: to visit us again soon.

193
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: The kids wave goodbye to the Murr people and thank

194
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: them for their help.

195
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: Since they worked together and read the submarine and direction sheet,

196
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: they now all knew which button controlled the outside camera,

197
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: so as a submarine began to rise up from the

198
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: ocean floor, they pushed the button together took a picture

199
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: of the amazing underwater world they had discovered. They never

200
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: wanted to forget the murror people or the amazing advice

201
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: that they were told that day under the sea.

202
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,439
