1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,320

Speaker 2: Buckle up because you're about to join Levi and Ivy

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: on an adventure.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: All you need is your imagination and off we go.

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: Reavey Rarus Stories. Hey, they're awesome friends.

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,880

Speaker 1: We've got our very own Lively Lewis merchandise.

Speaker 2: com or simply click on the link below in our

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: show notes. Now let's dive into today's story. Levi and

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: Ivy peered out of the small circular window as the

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: plane they were on zoom down the runway. A feeling

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: of weightlessness washed over them as they felt the wheels

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: of the plane lose contact with the ground.

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: They sorted higher and higher into the sky.

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: And once above the clouds, they knew it was only

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: a matter of time before they would start their vacation

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: of a lifetime.

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe in just a few hours will be

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, said Levi excitedly.

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: From all the videos I watched online, all signs point

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: to us having.

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: An amazing time, added Ivy.

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: They have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world,

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: huge waterfalls, rain forest hiking, giant surf.

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: Waves, delicious food.

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: And before Ivy could finish listing all the awesome things

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: that Hawaii had to offer, Levi interrupted her and snorkeling

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: exclaimed Levi, I brought my snorkel from home, and I

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: am ready to dive in and explore.

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: Ivy, on the other hand, wasn't as excited.

33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: Now. Don't get me wrong. Ivy loved the beach animals

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: of all kinds and was always up for an adventure,

35
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: but something about breathing underwater and being totally in a

36
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: new and foreign environment was.

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 1: Just a little well scary to her. Sure, said Ivy

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: in a meek voice. Snorkeling could be fun if we

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: have time.

40
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: Then she quickly changed the subject and started to talk

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: about all the tasty new foods she and her brother

42
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: would be able to try in Hawaii, like shaped ice,

43
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: a kind of snow cone drizzled with fruit flavored syrup.

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Oh and Pokey a raw fish bowl served with different

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: veggies and fruit. M I can't wait to try everything,

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: said Levi and Ivy's dad overhearing their conversation.

47
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: First on my.

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: List are Poi donuts made from mashed up stem of

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: a taro plant. Mashed up stem donuts sounds tasty, giggled Levi.

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: You know I'll eat anything with the word donut in

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: the name, giggled his dad in reply. Ivy was so

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: distracted with all the other things that were waiting for

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: her and her family in Hawaii that she had forgotten

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: all about snorkeling. That is, until they touched down in

55
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: Honolulu and exited the plane. They're waiting to greet them

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: when they stepped into the airport was a huge mural

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: of an underwater scene advertising Honolulu's hana Uma Bay Nature

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: Preserve in Oahu. Look, Ivy, it's a sign, said Levi,

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: pointing at the mural, which showed hundreds of bright, colorful

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: fish swimming through a mesmerizing forest of coral. We definitely

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: have to get in there and snorkel on that reef, oh, absolutely,

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: replied Levi and Ivy's mom. I can't wait to see

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: what life is like under the waves, can you, Ivy.

64
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: Ivy just stared motionless as she looked at the mural.

65
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: While the fish were beautiful and the coral did look

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: like something out of her favorite Mermaid books. She couldn't

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: help but get a nervous feeling in her belly. Hey, friends,

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: do you ever get a little nervous feeling in your

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: belly when you don't know if you want to try

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: something new? I definitely do. Let's see how Ivy's going

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: to handle that fun.

72
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Sure, it looks fun, said Ivy. Then it's settled.

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: We'll add snorkeling to our list of activities on vacation,

74
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: said Levi.

75
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: And Ivy's dad.

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: But first we have to get the important stuff, like

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: getting our bags, asked Levi. Or checking into the hotel,

78
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: said Ivy. No, replied their dad, with a big smile.

79
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: On his face.

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Getting one of those poy donuts. As you looked around,

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: I'm the airport for a sweet treat. Levi could tell

82
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: that Ivy wasn't acting like someone who had just landed

83
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: in Hawaii for an amazing vacation.

84
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: What's wrong, Ivy, said Levi. It's just it's just I'm

85
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: a little nervous about snorkeling.

86
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: Ivy began, Okay, I'm a lot nervous about snorkeling, breathing

87
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: underwater sharks, slimy seaweed. It's just so different. I've grown

88
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: pretty fond of living on land, and I think.

89
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to keep it that way. Oh, Ivy, don't

90
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: be nervous.

91
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: It's just a snorkeling trip, Levi said, trying to reassure

92
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: his sister. It's not like mom and Dad bought a

93
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: new house under the sea for us to live in. Also,

94
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: you love animals, don't you think it would be cool

95
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: to see them in their natural environment. I really think

96
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: you'd be sad if you let this opportunity go by

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: without at least giving it a try. Ivy did love animals,

98
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: and the thought of seeing them in a huge ocean setting,

99
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: not just in an aquarium, could be pretty cool. I

100
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: guess you're right, said Ivy a bit reluctantly. Give it

101
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: a try. That's great, said Levi. You're my little sister

102
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: and my adventure buddy. Weather on land or underwaves, you

103
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: know I'm there for you and we'll have a great time.

104
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: Levi then pulled Ivy along by the hand as they

105
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: ran off to grab their luggage and head to their hotel.

106
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: Levi thought, since Ivy was getting a little more excited

107
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: about snorkeling, that they should make that their first activity.

108
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: So she didn't have time to think about it anymore

109
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: and talk herself out of it. So the next morning,

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: they woke up early and headed out to hannah Uma Bay.

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: Once they arrived, Levi and Ivy ran to the beach

112
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: and looked out at the crystal clear water. It was

113
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: quite early and they were the first people out there

114
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: that day. As their parents walked up behind them, they

115
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: noticed two people walking toward them. Surprise, kiddos, Mom and

116
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: I scheduled some guides to snorkel with us and show

117
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: us around the bay, said their dad excitedly.

118
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: That's great, thanks, Dad, said Levi.

119
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah great, said Ivy in a less enthusiastic voice, which

120
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: was the complete opposite of the energy level of the

121
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: two snorkeling guides that were walking towards them.

122
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: Hello, ha, called out the guides that they got closer.

123
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: I'm Kai, said one of the guides, and I'm his sister,

124
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: Mielea said the other. We're so excited to be your

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: guides today in the beautiful hannah Oma Bay. It will

126
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: truly be an experience that you'll never forget. She's totally right,

127
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 2: said Kai. Aside from gliding weightless through the warm Hawaiian surf,

128
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: surrounded by colorful, coral and cool creatures. I bet you'll

129
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: see a few things you'd never seen before. Now he's right,

130
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: giggled Melay. While we're snorkeling, keep your eyes open for squirrels, porcupines, parts, goats, trumpets.

131
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy quickly gave each other a strange look.

132
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 2: These guides seemed really excited, but after that comment, they

133
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: didn't sound like they knew too much about the animals

134
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: and things found in the ocean. Did you say we'd

135
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 2: see squirrels, porcupines, parrots, goats and trumpets underwater?

136
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: Said Levy, trying to sound polite. Are you telling me

137
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: that there's some kind of animal band that lives out there?

138
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: Kai and Melee both laughed and cleared up the confusion quickly.

139
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: You're right, seeing those animal underwater does sound pretty unlikely,

140
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: started Kai. But not if they're fish, said Melee, finishing

141
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: his sentence. And in Hawaiian we call fish eye ah.

142
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: There are all kinds of different fish, like squirrelfish, porcupine fish, trumpetfish,

143
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: and so many more that call this reef in the

144
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: bay home. There are also green seah no or the

145
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: green sea tootles here, said Kai, as well as polia

146
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: or jellyfish, and if we're lucky, we'll see a nai

147
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: or a dolphin, not to mention the colorful coral, seahorses, crabs, snails,

148
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: and other sea creatures that live around every underwater corner.

149
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: Levi and his parents were really excited, but could tell

150
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 2: that Ivy was feeling a little unsure again.

151
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Melee noticed too.

152
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: After she and Kai went through a bunch of snorkel

153
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: safety instructions, like making sure your mask fit well and

154
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: not touching the coral or any of the animals. Melee

155
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: took Ivy aside. Aloha, I can till you're a little nervous,

156
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: and it's perfectly normal, Melee began. I was nervous the

157
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: first time I went snorkeling, too, but I got over

158
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: my fear by going with my best buddy and my

159
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: brother Kai. Levi and I are just like you, and Kai,

160
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: said Ivy, sounding a bit more confident. We always share

161
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: our adventures together and support each other whenever we feel

162
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: nervous or unsure. I know I don't want to miss

163
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: this amazing experience, but I didn't know what to do.

164
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: Just take the first step with Levi and I by

165
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: your side, and the ocean will do the rest, said Melee.

166
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: Trust me, it's a.

167
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: Truly magical place down there, and once you see it,

168
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: you'll never want to leave. Ivy trusted Melee and the

169
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: connection she had with Levi, so without a second more

170
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: of waiting and wondering, she followed them into the water.

171
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: It was warm and splashed gently on her ankles as

172
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: she took her first few steps in. She adjusted her

173
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: mask and checked her snorkel one last time as the

174
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: water rose up to her shoulders.

175
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Are we all ready to dive under? Asked Kai.

176
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: Everyone gave the thumbs up, including you got this, Ivy,

177
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: whispered Levi, before he placed the snorkel in his mouth

178
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: and slipped under the rolling waves, with Ivy falling close behind.

179
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: And what Ivy saw next took her breath away. Her

180
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: eyes couldn't open big enough for her to take in

181
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: all the sights before her. Hundreds or maybe thousands of

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: fish in every color of the rainbow darted around her,

183
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 2: leaving nothing but trails of tiny bubbles that tickled her toes.

184
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: Seahorses clung to seagrass sprouting.

185
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: Up through the huge rocks almost completely hidden by magnificent

186
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: sea and enemies, while crab scuttled through cracks and crevices

187
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: in the coral covered by bright colorful coral polyps. Striking pink, yellow,

188
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: and green coral painted the seafloor beneath them. Even with

189
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: her snorkel ind, she couldn't help but notice the tremendous

190
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: smile on Ivy's face. Mayy gave her a thumbs up

191
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: as Levi gave her an underwater high five. Their day

192
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: was just beginning, but Ivy already knew it would be

193
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: one that she would never forget. So overwhelmingly pleased with

194
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 2: the decision she made to join the snorkeling trip, Ivy

195
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: swam off with Levi on their underwater odyssey. As they

196
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: all swam around, Kai and Meylee use a special diving

197
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: board that can be written underwater to tell everyone about

198
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: what they were seeing. Ivy was feeling very confident and

199
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: so comfortable in this new underwater environment until she turned

200
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: around and read what Melee had just written on the board.

201
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, you guys, what do you think is

202
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: written on the board? What could it be? Could it

203
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: be a jellyfish? Could it be a turtle. The sign

204
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: read small reef shark behind the reef. Ivy picked her

205
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: head up out of the water and started to swim

206
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: to shore without reading the rest of the sign, which

207
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: said not dangerous.

208
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: She pulled the snorkel out of her mouth as Melee

209
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: popped up next to her.

210
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: Ivy, it's okay, It's okay, she said quickly as she

211
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 2: tried to calm Ivy down. Soon Levi surfaced as well,

212
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: next to his sister. I saw you swimming back, Ivy,

213
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: said Levi. What's wrong? You missed the little reef shark.

214
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: It saw us and swam away really quickly. Oh I

215
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: didn't miss it, said Ivy, standing out of breath. I

216
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: saw it and started swimming to get away from it.

217
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 2: Is everyone okay, They're all fine, Ivy said Melee. The

218
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: shark is more afraid of you than you are of it.

219
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if my sign scared you, but know that

220
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: Levi and I would never put you in a situation

221
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: that was dangerous.

222
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ivy, And.

223
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: If you were ever in trouble, you know I'd be

224
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: there for you, said Levi, floating in the water, just

225
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: like an anenemy in a clownfish. What asked Ivy, sounding

226
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: a bit confused. I've read about it in school. Levi

227
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: began to protect itself from predators. Clownfish hide inside the

228
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: stinging tentacles of sea an enemies, and the only reason

229
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: they can do that is because of the slimy covering

230
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: they have all over their body, which makes them unable

231
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: to get stung. The predators stay away because they can

232
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: get stung by the anenemies, and the clownfish stays safe.

233
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: So you're the anenemy and I'm the slimy clownfish. Giggle byby.

234
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: Everyone laughed as Levi nodded his head. So are you

235
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: ready to dive back down? Little clownfish?

236
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: Asked Melee with you two by my side, I sure,

237
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: said Ivy, readjusting her snorkel and putting on her mask.

238
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm really proud of you, Ivy, said Levi with a smile,

239
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: before they continued snorkeling. They all spent the rest of

240
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: the day exploring the coral reef and learning all about

241
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: the animals that lived there. But more importantly, Ivy and

242
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Levi strengthened their bond as brother and sister. That day,

243
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 2: Ivy learned that Levi would always be there to protect her,

244
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: and Levi learned that Ivy was braver than he thought

245
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: when she faced her fears and headed underwater. Levi, Ivy,

246
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: and their parents, Kai and Melee stayed at hana Uma.

247
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: Bay for the rest of the day. They had lunch, then.

248
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: Snorkeled, had a snack, then snorkeled, took a little nap

249
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: on the sand, then snorkeled some more, and as the

250
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: sun began to set, they sat on the beach and

251
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: watched the waves roll in. Then something amazing happened. Naya shouted, Kai,

252
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: I mean dolphin.

253
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: Look.

254
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: Kay stood up and pointed toward the setting sun. It

255
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: looks like three, no four dolphins, said Malay with a smile.

256
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: This is so special.

257
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: The dolphins seemed to dance in the water as the

258
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: sun's raised painted soft purple and bluish lines around them.

259
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: Now that's the perfect way to end a snorkeling trip

260
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: in Hawaii, said Levi and Ivy's mom. Just beautiful, I agree,

261
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: said Levi and Ivy's dad. The only thing that would

262
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: make this moment better would be, what do you think

263
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: he's gonna say? Friends, let me guess, Dad a donut? Laugh, Levi,

264
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: you got it, said Levi's dad. Levi, Ivy and their

265
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: parents said goodbye to Kai and Melee and thank them

266
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: for an unforgettable day. And I wanted to say a

267
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: special thank you to you, Melee, said Ivy before heading

268
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: to the car. Thank you for talking with me earlier

269
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: and helping me get into the water. I couldn't imagine

270
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: missing this experience. It was all you, Ivy. You have

271
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: a brave heart and the energy of an explorer. I

272
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 2: can't imagine that you and Levi won't have many more

273
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: great adventures in and out of the water on your

274
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: family vacation. Enjoy every day, said Melee before waving a

275
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: loha to Ivy and her family on the ride back

276
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: to the hotel. For the rest of the vacation, On

277
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: the flight home, and once they returned to their neighborhood,

278
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 2: all Levi and Ivy did was talk about the incredible

279
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: world they saw under the waves. They made a promise

280
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: to each other to protect the world around them and

281
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: help others to do the same.

282
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: Did you learn a lesson from this story? Ay South,

283
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: what was it?

284
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: And parents, do your kids have a story idea? Leave

285
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,320

00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: join Levi and Ivy on their next adventure.

288
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Until next time, Thanks for listening. Come back for more
