Speaker 2: Live Ay Lewis story.
Speaker 1: Hey friends, this is part two of King Candy Catastrophe.
Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to part one, go listen to
Speaker 1: that one first and then join us on this story.
Speaker 2: The second part of the story you're.
Speaker 1: About to enjoy was inspired by Miss Purple. Thank you
Speaker 1: for your great idea. Hey kiddos, do you think I
Speaker 1: could get my King Colossal jellybeans from you? Ask Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad. Thing said Levi, feeling a bit relieved
Speaker 1: that his dad interrupted their candy taste test.
Speaker 2: And what are those?
Speaker 1: Levi's dad asked, sounding interested in his new candy that
Speaker 1: his kids were each holding. Oh these they're new, said Ivy,
Speaker 1: like so new that no kid has ever tried them before.
Speaker 1: Miss Purple gave them to us and she wants us
Speaker 1: to try them and tell her what we think. Yep,
Speaker 1: she said, King Candy always has a room for candy creators,
Speaker 1: so we have to try them, added LEVI have to
Speaker 1: try them, asked Levi and Ivy's dad, standing confused, You
Speaker 1: seem unsure, like you don't want to eat them. You
Speaker 1: too love King Candy, so why aren't you excited for
Speaker 1: the taste test. That's when Levi and Ivy told their
Speaker 1: dad what was inside the candy. Oh I get it now,
Speaker 1: said their dad with a laugh. Levi and Ivy were
Speaker 1: hoping he would tell them it wouldn't taste that bad
Speaker 1: and that they could do it, but instead he said, ew,
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like it would be good at all.
Speaker 2: Good luck.
Speaker 1: Then he grabbed his jelly beans and hurried down the
Speaker 1: treehouse ladder. Levi and Ivy looked at each other again,
Speaker 1: counted down from five again, and then each took a
Speaker 1: big bite of their candy covered veggie And.
Speaker 2: It was everything you would think it would be.
Speaker 1: It's it's starred Levi as he slowly chewed his candy
Speaker 1: with his eyes close tight. It's different, said Ivy as
Speaker 1: she chewed her candy. Too different as being kind, said Levi,
Speaker 1: this is the grossest candy I have ever tasted. You're right,
Speaker 1: replied Ivy, spitting out the candy into its wrapper.
Speaker 2: I can't finish this.
Speaker 1: Levi did the same and wiped his mouth, trying to
Speaker 1: get every last bit of chocolate covered veggie that he
Speaker 1: could out. Then they each grabbed one of their favorite
Speaker 1: candies from their bag and quickly gobbled them down to
Speaker 1: get the taste of candy covered Brussels sprout broccoli out
Speaker 1: of their mouths. What are we gonna tell Miss Purple
Speaker 1: asked Levi.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just know that I don't want to hurt her feelings,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. But we have to tell her the truth.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if these candies get released right before Halloween?
Speaker 1: Oh no, moms and dads will buy them because they
Speaker 1: want to give out healthy candy, and our trigger treat
Speaker 1: bags will be filled with these things, said Levi with
Speaker 1: a look of tear on his face. We can't let
Speaker 1: that happen, said Ivy. We have to tell Miss Purple
Speaker 1: the truth right now. Levi and Ivy ran down from
Speaker 1: their treehouse. They found their parents and told them all
Speaker 1: about their taste tests and how they had to tell
Speaker 1: Miss Purple before she released the candy. Their parents said
Speaker 1: okay and would allow Levi and Ivy to head back
Speaker 1: to the candy store, but they had to wait until
Speaker 1: after dinner because they had some fall activities planned for
Speaker 1: the afternoon. Levi and Ivy said that would be fine,
Speaker 1: and once dinner time rolled around and they quickly ate
Speaker 1: and headed off to the candy store. They told their
Speaker 1: parents they'd be back in a bit and had to
Speaker 1: hurry because it's the door would be closing soon. But
Speaker 1: as they rounded the corner, they saw that the closed
Speaker 1: sign had already been placed on the front door. Oh no,
Speaker 1: how come they closed early, asked Levi. But when he
Speaker 1: got closer to the door and looked, and he got
Speaker 1: his answer. The store was completely cleared out. Wow, it
Speaker 1: looks like they sold out for everything, said Ivy. That's
Speaker 1: when Levi rested his hand on the door handle and
Speaker 1: it swung open.
Speaker 2: I guess Miss Purple forgot to lock the door.
Speaker 1: After she put up the closed sign, said Levi as
Speaker 1: he and Ivy wandered into the store.
Speaker 2: Hello, hello, Miss Purple, are you still here?
Speaker 1: The door was unlocked, called out Ivy as she and
Speaker 1: Levi walked further into the store. It was dark in
Speaker 1: the store and as the sun was beginning to set,
Speaker 1: and the only thing Levi and Ivy could see was
Speaker 1: a faint blue glow clumbing from a door behind the register.
Speaker 1: So of course they had to investigate further, thinking it
Speaker 1: was just a light on the back room where Miss
Speaker 1: Purple was finishing up some work for the day. Miss Purple,
Speaker 1: are you back here, called out Levi as he pushed
Speaker 1: open the door behind the register. We really need to
Speaker 1: talk to you about the candy covered veggies. And as
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy walked into the back room they saw it. No,
Speaker 1: not Miss Purple, not even boxing the candy. What they
Speaker 1: saw was a portal. It was a swirling mass of
Speaker 1: blue light that seemed to take up the whole back
Speaker 1: wall of the room.
Speaker 2: And it looked like it led into another dimension.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy were very intrigued and walk towards it,
Speaker 1: still hoping that Miss Purple would pop up at any
Speaker 1: moment to tell them what was going on.
Speaker 2: But before that.
Speaker 1: Could happen, little did Levi and Ivy know they had
Speaker 1: gotten too close to the blue portal and were.
Speaker 2: Getting pulled in. Oh no, Levi, what should we do?
Speaker 2: Yelled Ivy as she grabbed on to her brother.
Speaker 1: Try to hold on to something like this shelf or
Speaker 1: that chair, yelled back Levi, But it didn't work. Before
Speaker 1: they knew it, Levi and Ivy had been pulled into
Speaker 1: the light of the Blue Pole completely. They went swirling
Speaker 1: through the blue mist, and when they landed, they found
Speaker 1: themselves somewhere they would have never expected. But I guess
Speaker 1: they didn't expect to get pulled into a blue Light
Speaker 1: portal either, so really.
Speaker 2: Anything was possible at that point.
Speaker 1: When they landed, Levi and Ivy found themselves in a
Speaker 1: magical looking candy world. And not just any candy world,
Speaker 1: but the best candy ever.
Speaker 2: On planet Earth.
Speaker 1: Were in King Candy World, they exclaimed as they looked around.
Speaker 1: They had each seen pictures of King Candy World online,
Speaker 1: but they didn't know it was actually real. It was
Speaker 1: amazing and unlike anything they had ever seen before. It
Speaker 1: was covered in candy and alive with energy and excitement,
Speaker 1: and that's when they saw her, Miss Purple, exclaimed Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy, And that's when it was clear to them
Speaker 1: that Miss Purple didn't just work at the candy store,
Speaker 1: but that she worked directly with mister King himself. Why
Speaker 1: else would she be in his magical candy world. What
Speaker 1: are you doing here, asked Miss Purple as she ran
Speaker 1: over to Levi and Ivy. They explained that they had
Speaker 1: come back to the store to talk to her about
Speaker 1: the new veggie candy. The door was unlocked and they
Speaker 1: found the blue portal, and before they knew it, they.
Speaker 2: Were in King Candy World.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I thought, I forgot to lock the door,
Speaker 1: said Miss Purple. Oh well, now that you're here, it's
Speaker 1: great to see you, and I'd love to show you
Speaker 1: around before we talk. Obviously, Leevi and Ivy said yes
Speaker 1: without any hesitation. They couldn't wait to see everything in
Speaker 1: King Candy World, from the tiniest micro mini jelly bean
Speaker 1: to the world's biggest gumball, from the sweetest cotton candy
Speaker 1: to the sourest gummy worm, and everything else in between.
Speaker 1: They walked from room to room and saw so many
Speaker 1: amazing things. They flew about on a marshmallow hot air
Speaker 1: balloon through forests of lollipop trees, and floated on a
Speaker 1: caramel pond in a sail boat made of sugar with
Speaker 1: edible candy sails. It was unbelievable, But as their tour
Speaker 1: went on, Levi and Ivey remembered why they were there
Speaker 1: in the first place.
Speaker 2: They had to tell Miss.
Speaker 1: Purple what they thought about the candy covered veggies, So
Speaker 1: when they stopped on the banks of the caramel pond,
Speaker 1: they decided it was time to talk. Also, they had
Speaker 1: to be heading home soon or their parents would get worried.
Speaker 2: Miss Purple, thank you for showing us.
Speaker 1: Around, but we have to be getting back home soon,
Speaker 1: and we can't go until we tell you what we
Speaker 1: think of the candy covered veggies, began LEVI. Oh great,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to hear how much you love them.
Speaker 2: I mean, what you think of.
Speaker 1: Them, replied Miss Purple with an optimistic smile. Ivy then
Speaker 1: took a deep breath and started to speak. Well, they
Speaker 1: are certainly different and really interesting, but unfortunately we didn't
Speaker 1: like them.
Speaker 2: Like at all, not even a little, added Levi.
Speaker 1: We really don't think they will go with the rest
Speaker 1: of the sweet, tasty, amazing King candy, and you can't
Speaker 1: put them out before Halloween.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we speak for all.
Speaker 1: The kids in town, maybe even all the kids on
Speaker 1: the planet Earth. Wouldn't we see that getting those candies
Speaker 1: on Halloween would definitely be a trick more than a treat,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. We're really sorry. We know how much you
Speaker 1: love them, but it's not like you made them or anything, right,
Speaker 1: And that's when Ivy and Levi I saw how upset
Speaker 1: Miss Purple looked. Oh no, you did make them, didn't you,
Speaker 1: asked Levi. Miss Purple just nodded her head, got up
Speaker 1: and walked along the bank of the Caramel Pond toward
Speaker 1: their sailboat. I just wanted to do something different. I
Speaker 1: thought something totally out of the box, like putting veggies
Speaker 1: with candy would work and be just the thing to
Speaker 1: impress mister King, began Miss Purple. I'm his assistant, and
Speaker 1: I've been trying to think of the next best candy
Speaker 1: for the longest time. I I thought I had it
Speaker 1: because I really loved it, but I guess I always
Speaker 1: knew in the back of my mind that it wouldn't
Speaker 1: work with kids. Miss Purple looked defeated and sat back
Speaker 1: down in the sugar sailboat, ready to take Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy back to the portal so they could go home.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your feedback.
Speaker 1: At least still save me from giving one to mister
Speaker 1: King and having him see firsthand how bad they are.
Speaker 1: And you may have just saved Halloween too, said miss Purple.
Speaker 1: I'd never want people to think of King Candy as
Speaker 1: a trick. Levi and Ivy got back into the sailboat
Speaker 1: with Miss Purple and thought long and hard about what
Speaker 1: they could do to make her happy again. Then Levi
Speaker 1: had an idea, Miss Purple. I think I know how
Speaker 1: you can get your candy on King Candy store shelves
Speaker 1: and make Halloween even better, said Levi. How about you
Speaker 1: take one candy covered veggie and put it in a
Speaker 1: bag of regular delicious chocolate covered King Candy. They'll all
Speaker 1: be in the same wrappers, so the people eating them
Speaker 1: wouldn't know which is which. Then you make it a game.
Speaker 1: You have to pick up the bag and eat whatever
Speaker 1: candy you get. Everyone knows there's a candy covered veggie
Speaker 1: in the bag, and they're all trying to avoid getting it.
Speaker 1: That game sounds super fun to me and the perfect
Speaker 1: trick or treat surprise for Halloween, said Ivy. I love
Speaker 1: to get a Keen Candy Mystery game in my tricker
Speaker 1: treat bag and play with all my friends. Miss Purple
Speaker 1: couldn't believe what she was hearing. She loved the idea
Speaker 1: and knew mister King would love it too. Once back
Speaker 1: at the Blue Portal, she thanked Levi and Ivy and
Speaker 1: sent them on their way, but not before telling them
Speaker 1: to meet her back at the candy store first thing.
Speaker 1: The next morning, Levi and Ivy said goodbye to Miss Purple,
Speaker 1: excited to.
Speaker 2: See her the next day.
Speaker 1: They ran all the way home and told their parents
Speaker 1: about everything that had happened. A blue white portal, a
Speaker 1: sugar boat, and a marshmallow hot air balloon, repeated Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad. Wow, that candy store is a magical
Speaker 1: place that gets your imaginations going.
Speaker 2: No, Dad, it's true.
Speaker 1: It all happen, we promise, said Ivy. She stuck her
Speaker 1: hands in her pockets, feeling a bit frustrated that her
Speaker 1: parents didn't believe her, and Levian found something unexpected. Her
Speaker 1: pockets were full of candy. She told Levi had to
Speaker 1: check his pockets and they were full too. See Mom,
Speaker 1: where else would we have gotten all this candy?
Speaker 2: Said Levi.
Speaker 1: We told you that the candy store was completely sold
Speaker 1: out of everything when we went back. I guess that
Speaker 1: would explain it, said Levi and Ivy's mom as she
Speaker 1: hugged her kids and walked into the living room, not
Speaker 1: thinking much more about what they had said. It's getting
Speaker 1: lady too, Please put that candy away and go get
Speaker 1: ready for bed. Levi and Ivy had trouble falling asleep
Speaker 1: that night. Could it have been all the sugar they
Speaker 1: had that day, or the amazing trip they took to
Speaker 1: King Candy World, whatever it was. Once they finally dozed off,
Speaker 1: their dreams were filled with candy, candy, and more candy.
Speaker 1: When they woke up the next day, they made their
Speaker 1: parents come back to the candy store with them. They
Speaker 1: hesitated at first because the store wouldn't have been opened
Speaker 1: for a little while, but Levi and Ivy assured their
Speaker 1: parents that it would be open for them. They got
Speaker 1: to the store just as the last King Candy truck
Speaker 1: was rolling out of the parking lot. They had restocked
Speaker 1: the store, and it was once again full of candy.
Speaker 2: Mom and Dad, please, you have to believe.
Speaker 1: Us, Ivy said, trying to convince her parents one more
Speaker 1: time that their trip to the Magical King Candy World
Speaker 1: was real.
Speaker 2: We also really did talk.
Speaker 1: To Miss Purple about her new candy, and even though
Speaker 1: we didn't like it, we figured out a way for
Speaker 1: it to be part of a new fun candy mystery game.
Speaker 1: It all sounds very nice, but can we hurry this
Speaker 1: along because I have some pumpkins that need carving back
Speaker 1: at home, said Levi and Ivy's mom, Still unconvinced of
Speaker 1: the magic that went on in the candy store the
Speaker 1: night before, Levi and Ivy realized they would need to
Speaker 1: show their parents, so they walked inside through the unlocked
Speaker 1: front door and went into the back room. But when
Speaker 1: they got there, there was no blue light portal and
Speaker 1: no Miss Purple. They both look sad, but that didn't
Speaker 1: last long. Okay, Mom and Dad, I guess we can go,
Speaker 1: said Levi.
Speaker 2: Do you think we imagine the whole thing?
Speaker 1: Whispered Ivy to Levia as he just shrugged his shoulders.
Speaker 1: But before he could answer, some of the shelves in
Speaker 1: the back room began to rattle, and in no time, Levi,
Speaker 1: Ivy and their parents were standing in front of a
Speaker 1: giant blue portal with a familiar figure walking toward them.
Speaker 1: Miss Purple called out Levi and Ivy, see mom and dad,
Speaker 1: we were right. As Miss Purple made her way out
Speaker 1: of the blue light, LEVI and Ivy's parents just stood
Speaker 1: there in complete disbelief. Hi, everyone, I have very exciting news,
Speaker 1: began Miss Purple.
Speaker 2: Mister King did not like my candy covered veggies. He
Speaker 2: said they were totally gross. Is that the good news?
Speaker 1: Asked Levi, sounding confused, well, kind of laughed Miss Purple.
Speaker 1: He didn't like the candy, but he loved the idea
Speaker 1: you I had for a gross out mystery candy game
Speaker 1: that will launch this Halloween.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Does that mean we're real candy creators? Now, asked Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy. You bet, said Miss Purple. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for all your help, But I have to run
Speaker 1: because we have lots of work to do with getting
Speaker 1: the candies together, making up some game bags, working on packaging,
Speaker 1: and so much other stuff. And I'm training some new
Speaker 1: people to manage the store while I work on the project.
Speaker 1: Do you think you need some help, asked Leevin and Ivy.
Speaker 1: I'd love some, exclaimed Miss Purple, as long as it's
Speaker 1: okay with your parents. They all looked over at Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy's parents, who are still just staring at the
Speaker 1: bright blue, swirling light of the portal, not knowing exactly
Speaker 1: what to say.
Speaker 2: I guess so, said Levi.
Speaker 1: And Ivy's mom and dad. Great, you can come back
Speaker 1: after we close today and we'll get going on king
Speaker 1: Candies new with candy creation, said Miss Purple as she
Speaker 1: close the portal and got ready to open the candy store.
Speaker 1: Here's a sample mystery candy bag.
Speaker 2: If you could try it out today and give me
Speaker 2: your thoughts later on, that would be great. And that's
Speaker 2: exactly what they did.
Speaker 1: Levi, Ivy and their parents left the store and headed
Speaker 1: for home, and as they did, Levi and Ivy's walk
Speaker 1: was filled with the question after question from their parents,
Speaker 1: who now fully believed the magical trip that they had
Speaker 1: gone on the night before. Once they got home, Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy sat down with their parents and explained the
Speaker 1: idea of the Halloween mystery candy bag gained to their parents.
Speaker 1: So one of these candies is really gross, tasting, asked
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's dad.
Speaker 2: Yep, but only one.
Speaker 1: All of the others are delicious, said Levi. You just
Speaker 1: have to hope you're lucky enough not.
Speaker 2: To get the gross one, giggled Ivy.
Speaker 1: Now let's start the game, so they started by passing
Speaker 1: the mystery candy bag around. They each picked out one candy,
Speaker 1: and on the count of five, they each took a
Speaker 1: bite and it only took a second to figure out
Speaker 1: who got the candy covered veggie.
Speaker 2: Eh oh, exclaimed Levi and Ivy's dad. What is that broccoli?
Speaker 1: Everyone laughed and finished up their tasty candies, while Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad ran into the kitchen to rinse his
Speaker 1: mouth out with water and grab himself some keen colossal jellybeans.
Speaker 1: Now that's better, he said, chewing his favorite King candy.
Speaker 1: But I will say, even though I got the gross candy,
Speaker 1: it was a really fun game. I'd play it again
Speaker 1: me too, said Levi and Ivy's mom. After all, I
Speaker 1: really like broccoli. Maybe it'll be my new favorite King candy.
Speaker 1: Everyone laughed as Levi and Ivy gave each other a
Speaker 1: high five, Happy to have helped Miss Purple and happy
Speaker 1: to call themselves King Candy Creators. Thanks for joining us today.
