0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Live Ay Lewis story. I can't believe we get to

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 1>watch Corey's parrot this week, called out Levi's He looked

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>through his closet. Do you think Echo will have a

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>good time here? Ivy was sitting on her brother's bed

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>watching him rummage through his closet. Levi had been waiting

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>for this day for a month. He was so excited.

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>His friend Corey asked him if he could watch his

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>pet parrot Echo while he was away on a summer

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>camping trip. I think Echo will really like it here,

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>answered Ivy. But what are you looking for? I know

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I have that big animal book in here somewhere, Levi said,

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a whole section on parrots, and I just wanted

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to read up a bit before Echo gets here. I

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>just want to make sure he has a great time.

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>And one of the reasons Levi wanted to make sure

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Echo was happy at his house was because he was

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>hoping he could teach the parrot to say his name.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't that be so cool, Ivy asked Lee, by walking

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>away from his closet holding his animal book. I teach

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Echo to say my name first, and if it goes well,

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I could maybe get him to say your name too.

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, Ego can talk, huh, exclaimed Ivy. But

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>he's a bird. Birds don't talk well. He can't talk

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like you and I. But parents have a way of

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>making special noises that sound like words we say and

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>even names, explained Levi. He went on to tell his

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.559
<v Speaker 1>sister that parrots talk by mimicking sounds they hear, using

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a really flexible voice box in their chest rather than

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>vocal cords in their throat. They use their tongues and

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>beaks to create noises that sound like hello, goodbye, and hopefully,

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Levi do you think I could help you, asked Ivy.

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>This sounds so cool, of course, and if Echo is

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with us, Corey said, it's totally fine for me

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to enter him into the Neighborhood Pet Talent Show next Saturday,

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>added Levi. I bet no one else will have a

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>talking parrot. Levi was all smiles as he read through

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the section about parrots in his big Animal Book. Just

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>as he was finishing up, the doorbell rain it was

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Corey and Echo. Levi tossed the animal book on his

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>bed and ran downstairs with Ivy. He flung open the

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>front door and welcomed Corey in with a big hug.

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Corey's mom was falling close behind, carrying Echo's cage, with

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Echo sitting comfortably inside. Levi and Ivy's mom got there

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>just as Echo was squawking hello at everyone. Hello, Hello, Hello,

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>called out Echo as he was carried into the house.

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>We can't thank you enough for watching Echo this week,

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>said Corey's mom. We know he'll be very happy here, Corey.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I was just studying up on parents, said Levi. And

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I think Echo will have a great time this week,

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>especially when we win the Neighborhood Pet Talent show. That

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>would be so cool, said Corey. Echo's never been in

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>a talent show before, though, so I don't know how

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>he'll react. No problem, it's just for fun anyway. But

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I really think Echo will do great, said Levi. And

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>if we win, I'll be sure to split the prize

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>with you when you get back. It's a twenty dollars

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>gift card to Swirls ice cream shop. That would be great,

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>said Corey. And to increase your chances of getting along

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>with Echo, I wrote down everything I could think of

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that you would need to know about him. The first

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>thing is all parents are different, and while the info

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>from your animal book is great, it's important to know

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>specifically what Echo needs, what he's used to, and well

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>what his likes and dislikes are. Then Corey took out

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a notebook and handed it to Levi. Great idea, Corey,

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>thank you, said Levi, grabbing his notebook. They should be

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>everything you need to know. Corey started to say favorite food,

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>favorite snacks, when Ego goes to sleep at night, when

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>he takes his naps, thinks he doesn't like I got it,

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I got it, Levi I said quickly, as he tossed

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the notebook on the coffee table. He was just so

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>excited to see Echo that he didn't pay much attention

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 1>to what Corey was saying. And there's one page in

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>there that tells how to make Echo quiet down if

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he's talking or squawking too much, said Corey. I know

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>your parents will love that page. Yep, sounds good, said

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Levi as he looked at Echo sitting in his cage.

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Can you say, LEVI liveby He'll get it, Levi, giggle Corey.

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>And if he doesn't, I know you too will still

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>have the best time ever, Levi. I said goodbye to

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Corey and wished him lots of fun on his camping adventure.

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>We'll see you next Sunday, called out Levi to Corey

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>as he got in the car. And hopefully I'll be

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 1>taking you out for some free ice cream after winning

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the neighborhood Pet Talent Show with Echo the Amazing Talking Parrot.

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>Good luck, LEVI, have fun with Echo, and don't forget

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.799
<v Speaker 1>to read the notebook, Corey shouted from his car window

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>as he and his family drove away down the street.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Having fun with Echo was at the very top of

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Levi's list, so he knew he had to take a

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit of time to read through Corey's notebook. A

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>happy Echo will be a teachable Echo, said Levi to Ivy.

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>If I'm going to teach him to say Levi and

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>win the Pet Talent Show, then I need to know

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.679
<v Speaker 1>everything about this parrot. Levi and Ivy went back inside,

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>where Echo was sitting comfortably in his cage. Hello Hello, Hello,

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>called out Echo. We all know you can say hello, Echo.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>What you need to say is Levi leeby, said Levi

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>as he picked up the notebook Corey had given him.

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>But he was so busy looking at Echo he didn't

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>notice a piece of paper fall out of it and

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>sail under the couch. It was just one piece of

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>paper and a whole notebook full of things about Echo.

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>How important could it be? We'll soon find out. The

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>day went on, and Levi made sure Echo and had

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>his favorite food, his favorite snacks, and his naps on time.

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>He made sure he had his favorite toys to play with,

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>lots of time to stretch his wings outside his cage,

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and most importantly, Levi made sure that Echo had one

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent of his attention all the time. They were

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>inseparable for the next week, Levi I made sure Echo

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>had everything he needed and that he was happy. He

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>would also make sure to practice new words with Echo

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>each day, with the number one word being, of course,

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>his name, lee Vi. Levie would say over and over again.

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>His Echo stared at him from his cage. Hello, Hello,

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>replied Echo. Yes, saying hello is very good Echo, but

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>let's try a new one. Let's try Levi, Levi, said Levi,

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>over and over again. Then on Friday morning, Levi's hours

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and hours of hard work taking care of Echo finally

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>paid off. On his mom called him and Ivy's downstairs

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>for breakfast. Ivy, get Levi. It's time for breakfast, called

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>out Levi and Ivy's mom from the bottom of the stairs. Levi, Levi,

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>time for breakfast, called out Ivs. She walked into her

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 1>brother's room. Levi was laying on his bed with his

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>hands covering his face. He was feeling pretty sad. He

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>worked all week to get Echo to say his name,

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and the parrot still only said hello. The neighborhood Pet

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Talent show was the next day, and the thought of

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>winning the Swirl's ice Cream Shop gift cards seemed more

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and more unlikely to Levi. Didn't you hear me calling

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>your name? Asked iv as she stood at Levi's door.

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Time for breakfast? Are you listening to me? And just

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>before Ivy could say her brother's name, she got a

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>little help from someone else in the room. Leevi Leevi

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>said a voice. Okay, Ivy stopped calling my name, said Levi,

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>sitting up. I heard you. That wasn't me, Levi, said

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Ivy as she stepped into his room. Sure it was.

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>You're the only one in here with me, replied Levi.

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>No I'm not, said Ivy, pointing at Echo, who was

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>already sitting proudly in his cage, looking right at Levi.

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Levi turned around slowly and stared back at Echo. No way,

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Levi whispered to himself. Echo did you just say, Levi?

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Levi squaked Echo Leavi leav He did it? He did it.

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I did it, called out Levi with excitement as he

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>jumped around his room. Ivy jumped around too, calling out

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Levi's name like she was a parrot too. Levi Leevi

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>called out Echo, joining Ivy. All my hard work paid off,

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>exclaimed Levi as he grabbed Echo's cage and carefully brought

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>him downstairs to show off the parrot's new trick to

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>his parents. I'm gonna win the neighborhood Pet Talent Show

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>for sure, said Levi as he danced around the kitchen

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>while Echo called out his name. Actually, I think Echo's

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>going to win the neighborhood Pet Talent Show, giggled Levi's dad.

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>You're right, dad, said Levi. He worked really hard too,

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 1>and now we get to show everyone in the neighborhood.

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>The next day was the talent show. Levi was so

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>excited that he could hardly sleep the night before. He

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>ran out of the house as soon as he could

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>with Echo and headed to the park where the pet

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>talent show was being held. But before he left the house,

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>he grabbed his red baseball hat from the closet. Corey

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 1>had given it to him for his birthday and thought,

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>since Echo was Corey's parrot, that wearing the hat would

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>bring him luck. As soon as he got to the park,

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>he signed himself and Echo up for the talent show

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 1>and waited with his other friends who were there to

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>show off their pets fun talents. There were cats that

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>could walk on their back legs, dogs that could catch

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>frisbee in their mouths, and even a hamster that could

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.839
<v Speaker 1>play the piano. Levi was so excited he could hardly

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>sit still. Echo, on the other hand, was very quiet

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and still. Levi didn't think much of it. Maybe Echo

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>was a little nervous, maybe he was just saving his

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>voice for the talent show. Levi, however, was due enough

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>talking for the both of them, and decided to give

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Echo a pep talk, telling him how great he was

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>going to do. Before they knew it, the pet Talent

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>show had started and Levi and Ivy were being called

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to center stage. After Levi introduced Echo and explained what

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>he was going to do, the crowd gasped. They were

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>so excited, and so was Levi. Echo, however, was looking

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>very calm and quiet. Okay, Echo, tell everyone who your

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>buddy is, said Levi with a big smile on his

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>face as he stared at Echo. But nothing happened. Echo,

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.959
<v Speaker 1>come on, tell everyone my name, said Levi again, now

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>starting to feel a bit nervous. Echo just sat there,

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>not saying a word. The judge could sense that Levi

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>was getting more and more nervous as the seconds ticked

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>by without Echo saying a word. He decided to step

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>in and said that Levi and Echo could have a

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>bit more time to practice and they could come back

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 1>up at the end of the talent show to try again.

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Levi nodded his head as the crowd clapped politely, and

0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>he and Echo left the stage. Ivy ran over to

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>see if there was anything she could do to help.

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Levi's parents stood in the crowd, giving him a thumbs up,

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>letting him know that they believed in him. An Echo, Ivy,

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on, said a very confused LEVI.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Why won't Echo talk. Maybe there's a clue in that

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>notebook that Corey left you, said, Ivy, Let's leave Echo

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 1>here with mom and dad so we can run home

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 1>quickly and take a look. Levi couldn't think of a

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>better idea, so he agreed and they ran off. When

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 1>they got home, they found the notebook on the coffee

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>table in front of the couch. Levi picked it up,

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 1>scanning every page for a clue that would help Echo

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>talk again. Well. Ivey looked around the living room. Ivy,

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I must have looked at this entire notebook ten times

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>since we've had Echo here, and I don't see anything

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that would help me at the talent show, said Levi sadly.

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe something fell out of the notebook. Levi, maybe there's

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a page you didn't see, replied Ivy, And that's when

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>she looked under the couch. What's this? Ivy stood up

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>holding a piece of paper with the words how to

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>quiet down Echo written across the top. Well, obviously we

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>already know how to do that, said Levi as he

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 1>reached for the piece of paper. How will this help us?

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a big help, actually, said Ivy, pointing out what

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 1>was written on the rest of the paper. After Levi

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I read it, he quickly took off his red hat.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Then he and Ivy ran back to the park, just

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>in time for Levi and Echo to go on stage.

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Once they got back up there, Echo a squawking and

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>flapping his wings and much more excited than the first time.

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Sorry about the hat, Echo, whispered Levi. I think we're

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>ready now. Then Levi turned to Echo and loudly said, okay, Echo,

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 1>kill everyone who your buddy is? Levi. I barely got

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>out the last word before Echo exclaimed Leavi. Leavi. The

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>crowd applodded loudly and Levi could tell that Echo loved

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>all the attention. He flapped his wings more and continued

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to talk. When Levi asked, do you have any other buddies?

0:12:55.960 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Echo Levi, Ivy Cory. Hello, Hello, called out Echo. Levi

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 1>could have not been happy as the crowd went wild.

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 1>He stood on stage and took a bow, and he

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 1>pointed to Echo so he could get his well deserved

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>applause to. Levi ran off stage with Echo and hugged Ivy,

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>thanking her for helping him. Levi. Echo, congratulations, shouted Levi's

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>dad as he ran over to his son. Hey, why

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>aren't you wearing your hat anymore? So proud that you

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>went back up there and gave it another try, said

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Levi's mom. But what made Echo start talking again? Ivy,

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>still holding the note piece of notebook paper in her hand,

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 1>held it up for her parents to see what was

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.719
<v Speaker 1>written on and answered both of their questions, why Levi

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 1>wasn't wearing his red hat anymore and what made Echo

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>start talking again? The paper simply read how to quiet

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>down Echo. If Echo was talking too much, just grab

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>anything red and either hold it in front of him

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>or drape it on his cage. We trained him that

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>red means please be quiet. Everyone broke out laughing. Then

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Echo happy accepted their Squirrels ice Cream Shop

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.319
<v Speaker 1>gift card and couldn't wait for Corey to get home

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the next day so they could tell him the whole

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>funny story over a big hot fudge Sunday. Thanks for

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.120
