Swingy thing? 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 3: Elliott did not know how to play swing aling, but 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 3: he didn't want his friends to know that, so he 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 3: told a little white lie. That's when a person says 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 3: a small thing that's not true. 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course. In our play. 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 3: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we 15 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 3: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the 16 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: fun of play learning. Today, we explore why some kids 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: might tell white lies. White lies are things that can 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: start out small but can quit build into something bigger. 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: Let's jump back in great, we all know how to play, Elliott, 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: you can start. I'm sure I know what to do. 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 3: But Lingo Kids listeners, Elliott did not know what to do. 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: Let's check in with em. 23 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: Elliott, I thought you didn't know what swingling was? 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: Well I maybe, no, not really. 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: Do you know why you decided to tell your friends 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 3: that you knew how to play? 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: Well, everyone else seems to know what slingling is. What 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: if they laugh. 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: I mean for not knowing they're your friends, Elliott. I'm 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 3: sure they'd be happier if you told the truth. They 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: could explain the game to you, or you could play 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 3: something else. 33 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 4: Hmmm, it's okay, I'm sure I'll pick up the rules. 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: Of the game. Let's go back to Lisay and Cowie 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: and Billy. They're waiting for me. Elliott. 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: You've got so you're going to start the game? 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: Right? 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: Sure? Sure? Great? Sing this song? You know this swing 39 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 2: that nig song? Right? 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: Oh, the song lingo kids listeners. Elliott didn't know the song, 41 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: but since he'd already lied about knowing the game, let's 42 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: see what happens next. 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: Lisa, of course I know the song. 44 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 4: It's just my throw is a little sore right now, 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 4: so let's continue without it. 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: Okay. Then, well you've got to close your eyes, Elliott, 47 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: Right right, okay, closed? Now hold on one leg, one 48 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 2: leg of course. Okay. So they're gone. Oh no, Lisa, 49 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 2: Joe and Billy are all missing. What do I do? 50 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: Elliot? Everyone appreciates it when you tell them the truth. 51 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 3: You'd want your friends to be honest with you, right, yeah, 52 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: So now do you think it might be time to 53 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: tell your friends that you don't know the rules of 54 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 3: the game. 55 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: Hmmm. Or maybe this is part of the game. Maybe 56 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: it's like hide and seek. 57 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: So instead of telling the truth, I'll just go and 58 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: find them. 59 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 3: And so Elliot, still not knowing the game's rules, went 60 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: off to find his friends. He looked up a slide. 61 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: They're not here. He looked in a bush. 62 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: No, he even dug a hole in the sandbox and 63 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: looked for them in there. 64 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: They're not here here. 65 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: Elliott thought a few times about calling out for his friends, 66 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: but then they'd know that he had longed. And the 67 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: more Elliott thought about it, the more nervous he got. 68 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: What if they get mad at me? Who stop talking 69 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: to me? 70 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Oh? 71 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: Don't want to be my friends anymore? 72 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: Elliot? Did you know that nearly everyone tries these little 73 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: white lies at some point? 74 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: Really? 75 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: Hey, lingo, kids listeners, do you know why people lie? 76 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: What about you, Elliott? 77 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 4: Maybe kids lie because they're worried about what will happen 78 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 4: if they tell the truth. 79 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes that's true. 80 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 3: Other reasons are that they may not think they'll be believed, 81 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: or sometimes they're feeling ashamed. But lyon doesn't actually improve things. 82 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: Did lying make you feel better, Elliott, No, right, let 83 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: me show you something. Imagine a balloon. 84 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm imagining a balloon, a yellow balloon. 85 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: What's next? 86 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 3: Well, little lies may start small, but the more lies 87 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: we put into that yellow balloon. 88 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: The bigger it becomes, exactly. 89 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: And the harder it is to keep under control, until 90 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 3: finally that yellow balloon gets so big that. 91 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. I don't like how a lying makes 92 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: me feel. 93 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: I can't take it anymore, Lisa, Cowie Billy, I. 94 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 2: Give up, I can't find you. 95 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: Please come out, Ellen, or right here. Oh we weren't hiding. 96 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: We were waiting for you to go to the swings. 97 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: We're playing swingling, remember, Oh, swingling at the swings? 98 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: Does it make sense I find you? He says he 99 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: knew the rules. 100 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 4: Elliot, I did say that, but there's something I need 101 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: to tell you. 102 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: I don't actually know how to play the game. Oh, Elliott, 103 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 2: why did you say so? I guess I was worried 104 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: that you might laugh at me? Elliot, where are your friends? 105 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: If you don't know something, we to help show you. 106 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 2: Lice is right, it's always better to be honest. I'm 107 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: glad you finally told us. I do feel much better 108 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: after telling the truths. I don't think I'm going to 109 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: make a habit of flying. Do you guys forgive me? 110 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: I do me too. Thanks everyone, So what should we 111 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: do now? How about we play a game that we 112 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: all know. Maybe hide and seek? What do you seek? Elliot? 113 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 4: Oh, to be honest, I've done enough searching for one day. 114 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: Maybe we play tag. 115 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: LINGO kids listeners, thanks for learning about white lies.
