1
00:00:01,080 --> 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
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: All you need is your imagination, and off we go.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Revey rare stories.

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy were bored one day and couldn't figure

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 3: out what to do. Maybe we can put together a puzzle,

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: suggested Levi. No, we did yesterday, replied Ivy. How about

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: we do some drawing. No, I left my favorite crans

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 3: at school, and they're the only ones I like to

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 3: draw with.

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: Levi said.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: I wish we were big so we could do something

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: really cool, like go to an amusement park right now.

15
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, or jet skiing or hiking. Ivy added, but

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: mom and dad are busy and we can't do those

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: things without them. It's no fun being a little kid, sometimes,

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: said Levi. Now, every once in a while, when Levi

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: and Ivy wanted something different and fun to do, they

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: would head up to their attic. It was a great,

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: big space at the top of their house that was

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 3: filled with all kinds of cool things. They always managed

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: to have a fun time up there, But this day,

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: something truly unusual was about to happen. Ivy and Levi

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: ran up the stairs, yelling to their mom that they

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: would be in the attic if they needed them. Okay, kids,

27
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: but please don't touch the stack of old books that

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: your dad got at the yard sale last week, said

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: their mom. We haven't gone through them yet, and they're

30
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: pretty fragile. We don't want any of the pages to rip. Okay, mom,

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy called back, But now all they could

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: think about was getting a look at those books. Once

33
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: up in the attic, they saw so many things that

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: they had forgotten they had. There were trucks of old clothes,

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: holiday decorations, and old toys that they were going to donate,

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: And as they ran around exploring, Levi made an interesting discovery. Hey,

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: I found the old book that mom was talking about,

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: said Levi, grabbing the one on top.

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: They look like they're one hundred years old.

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: Ivy ran over and took a close look at the books.

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: She hadn't seen anything like them before, but she was

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: most interested in the one that Levi was holding. I

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: like this book the best, Ivy said, taking it out

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: of Levi's hands.

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: It says on the cover that it's a spellbook.

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: A spell book, Levi exclaimed, I wonder what kind of

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 3: spells are in here. Levi and Ivy didn't waste any

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: time opening the book to find out.

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: As they went through.

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: It, they saw spells that could help you cook, help

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: you to keep your house clean, and even allow you

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: to talk to animals. These spells are really cool, said Levi.

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: Do you think it would be okay if we tried

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: just one, you know, just to see if the book

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: really works. I don't think that would be a problem,

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: smiled Ivy. Mom said not to ruin the books. She

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: didn't say not to do little spells from.

58
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: One of them.

59
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy then started flipping through the pages looking

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: for the perfect spell.

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: There were spells that make flowers grow super fast, there

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: were spells that make vegetables taste like chocolate, and there

63
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: were even spells that made their hair grow super long

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: in no time at all.

65
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: But they just didn't seem very exciting to Levi and Ivy,

66
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: that is until they turned to the last page.

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: Here it is, shouted Levi.

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: I love it, replied Ivy, plopping the book on a

69
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: nearby table so they could open it and read the

70
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: spell together. Levi looked at Ivy. Ivy looked at Levi.

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: They were ready to begin. They looked at the spell

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: titled make Me Big for a Day and began to

73
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: read the lines together.

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Little Yes, yes, that's me. But big is what I

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: want to be.

76
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: This spell is here to answer my make me big,

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: please make me tall now. Levi and Ivy were excited

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: about the possibility of a spell that could make them big,

79
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: which they thought meant older for a day so they

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: could do fun things like buying anything they wanted.

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: At the toy store.

82
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: We're getting a giant Sunday at the ice cream shop. However,

83
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: they realized too late when they read the last line

84
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: of the spell together that this spell didn't make you

85
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: bigger in age. It made you bigger in height. And

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: before they knew it, the spell book began to hop

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 3: and jump on a little table. Then there was a

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: puff of smoke and a blast of light before everything

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: stopped completely.

90
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: Is that it?

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: Levi said, Maybe we didn't activate the spell. That would

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: be great, replied Ivy. We didn't want to be taller anyway.

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: We wanted to be older. Levi and Ivy were pretty

94
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: happy that nothing happened and left the book on the

95
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: little table in the attic before heading downstairs to go

96
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: play outside. As they played in the backyard, Levi threw

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: a frisbee to Ivy that accidentally got stuck in the

98
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: branches of the tallest tree in the backyard. Well, I

99
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: guess our game is over now, said Levi. Sorry, that's okay,

100
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: said Ivy. I'm kind of feeling a little strange right now. Anyway,

101
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: I think I need to sit down. I was starting

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: to feel a little strange, too, replied Levi. And that's

103
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: when it happened. It seemed like the spells in that

104
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 3: old spell book take a few minutes to start working,

105
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: but when they do, watch out. Levi and Ivy stood

106
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 3: next to each other, not really knowing what was about

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: to happen. Then suddenly they both grew five feet, then

108
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: another five feet, then another ten feet, before stopping almost

109
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: level with the tallest tree in the backyard. Oh no,

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: the spell actually worked, groaned Levi. Now we're big, not

111
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: just big, really really big.

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: Added Ivy. What are we going to do now?

113
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: Mom will not be happy we touch those old books,

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 3: and she certainly won't be happy that we're twenty feet

115
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: taller than when she.

116
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Last saw us.

117
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: Okay, let's think of how we can hide from her

118
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: until this spellwar is off, asked Levi. I would put

119
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: on my thinking cap, but I don't have one that

120
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: would fit my enormous head right now. Maybe we could

121
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 3: hide behind the shed, suggested Ivy, but when they duck.

122
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Behind it, their long legs stuck out.

123
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: Maybe under the picnic table, asked Levi, But when he

124
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 3: tried to get underneath the table, just ended up looking

125
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: like a wooden turtle shell on his back. We're now

126
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 3: the biggest things in the backyard, said Ivy, looking upset.

127
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: We can't hide anywhere, and we'd never be able to

128
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: get back into the house at this size. Levi was

129
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: trying not to panic, but wanted to see if there

130
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: was anything good that could come out of this situation.

131
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 3: As he was thinking, he looked over and saw his

132
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: frisbee in the branches of the tall tree. At least

133
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: I can get our frisbee back, Levi said, reaching over

134
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: and grabbing it. Then I've looked over and saw their

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: football on the roof of their house. I can get

136
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: our football, said Ivy. It's been up here so long

137
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: I almost forgot we even had one.

138
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Then a light bulb went off for Levi. I've got it.

139
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: Why don't we use our incredible height to get back

140
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: our toys that we got stuck in all these high places.

141
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: We can even help our friends around the neighborhood. Ivy

142
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: loved the idea, and they set off immediately, grabbing frisbees, baseballs, kites,

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: and foam planes off their house roof and their friends' house.

144
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: Roofs Ivy and Levi.

145
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: I don't know why you're so tall, but I'm pretty

146
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: happy you are, said their friends down the street. I

147
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: haven't been able to play badminton for weeks because my

148
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 3: birdie was stuck on my shed roof. It's a long story,

149
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: and we'll tell you another time, said Levi, but right now,

150
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: we have to get home. Once they were in their backyard,

151
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy started to feel a little strange. Do

152
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: you think we'll get any bigger, Ivy asked Levi. I'm

153
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: really not sure, replied Levi. But whatever happens, we're in

154
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: this together. Levi and Ivy stood in the backyard and

155
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: waited to see what would happen next, and thankfully for them,

156
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: it was just what they really wanted. We're small, shouted Levi,

157
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: and Ivy as they returned to their normal height and

158
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,160
