I'm bored 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: and could use a little bit of a change, me too, 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: answered Ivy. I wonder if anything fun will happen today. 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: Everything has just felt so blow lately. I think you 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: too should definitely take a walk, said their dad as 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: he got the lawnmower out to. 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Cut the grass. 19 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: It's a beautiful day and there's so much to be 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: grateful for. The warm sun, the cool breeze, your favorite 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: park only a short walk away. Spending the day with 22 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: each other and making great memories, Ivy and Levi just 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: looked at their dad. 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: What dare you looking at? Asked Levi with the giggle. 25 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, we just see a boring old saturday, nothing special, 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: nothing indifferent, added Ivy. It's all in how you look 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: at it, answered their dad. Hopefully, by the end of 28 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: the day, you too can see the day that I see. 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi set out that afternoon on what they 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: thought would be a normal walk, but what they found 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: would change the. 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: Way they viewed the world around them forever. 33 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi had walked down the same path to 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: get to the park hundreds of times before. 35 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: They passed the. 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: Same trees, the same flowers, and the same squirrels. 37 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: That day, nothing seemed exciting or particularly interesting. 38 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: The green leaves looked dull in the glow of the 39 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: afternoon sun, the flowers drooped toward the ground, their petals 40 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: almost touching the dirt below, and the squirrels didn't even 41 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: muster up a chitter or chatter when Ivy and Levi 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: walked by. They sat quietly in their nests high in 43 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: the branches above. What a boring day, said Levi. Even 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 2: the animals don't seem. 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Like they have anything to do. 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, the butterflies aren't fluttering, the birds aren't chirping, and 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: the park is empty, observed Ivy. But what they soon 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: would come to realize is that your perception of the 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: world is all in how you look at it, and 50 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: sometimes you just have to change your view, or, in 51 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi's case, your glasses. As they walked along 52 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: a little bit more, Ivy began to yawn. She was 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: so bored that she closed her eyes while she was walking, 54 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: blocking out the world around her and unknowingly making the 55 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: discovery of a lifetime. As Ivy was wandering along, she 56 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: veered off the path and tripped over something sticking out 57 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: from underneath the bush. She quickly opened her eyes as 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: she tumbled to the ground. Levi took his time walking 59 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: over to see if Ivy was okay. He was just 60 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: not feeling like himself. Normally, he would have run right over, 61 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: asking if Ivy was okay and how he could. 62 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: Help, but not today. 63 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: When he finally arrived, he noticed a small wooden box 64 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: lying next to Ivy on the ground. 65 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: Oh what's that, said Levi, picking up the box. Hey 66 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: aren't you gonna ask? How I am? Shouted Ivy. Oh sorry, 67 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: said Levi, are you okay? 68 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: But even as he asked the question, he was staring 69 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: at the wooden box, wondering what was inside. I'm fine, 70 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: thank you for finally asking, said Ivy. And I tripped 71 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: over that box, so I should be the one to 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: open it. Ivy grabbed the box out of Levi's hand 73 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: and turned her back towards him. Levi huffed and frowned 74 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: as he looked over her shoulder while she slowly lifted 75 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: the lid. Maybe it's filled with gold or diamonds, said Ivy. 76 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: Maybe it's filled with one hundred dollars bills or sparkling gems, 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: added Levi, and as the old wooden lid tipped back, 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: they got their answer, which, to Ivy and Levi's surprise, 79 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: was not very exciting at first. Sunglasses, said Levi, two 80 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: old pairs of sunglasses. 81 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: He grabbed a pair out of the box and took 82 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: a closer look. 83 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: I guess they're kind of cool looking with those pink lenses. 84 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: But what fun can we have with these? 85 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: Levi asked, sounding disappointed with their discovery. Ivy took out 86 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 2: the other pair and set the box down on the ground. 87 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 2: I kind of like them, she said, I broke my 88 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: other sunglasses last week, and I've been meaning to get 89 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: a new pair. Levi wasn't impressed and didn't give the 90 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 2: sunglasses another thought. That was until Ivy tried them on 91 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: and told him what she saw. Ivy first cleaned some 92 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: dirt off the soft pink lenses before putting them on. 93 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: She blinked once, then twice, and that's when everything changed. 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: It was as if she stepped into another world, a 95 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: world of color, light, happiness. 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Hope, and endless possibilities. 97 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: Ivy jumped back in disbelief, nearly knocking Levi over. Hey, 98 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: watch what you're doing, Levi called out, No, replied Ivy 99 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: with a huge smile. 100 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: You need to watch what I'm seeing. Put on these 101 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: sunglasses right now. 102 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: Ivey's excitement was contagious, and Levi just had to know 103 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 2: what was so special about these silly old glasses with 104 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: pink lenses. 105 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: It can't be that amazing, he thought to himself as 106 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: he slipped the sunglasses on. And then it happened. 107 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: He blinked once, then twice, and that's when everything changed. 108 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: The pink lenses were magic and allowed Ivy and Levi 109 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: to see all the good in the world. Around them, 110 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: The grass looked greener, the flowers seemed brighter, and even 111 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: the animals in the forest around them seemed to smile. 112 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: As they scurried into view, Ivy looked at Levi and 113 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: saw only the good he possessed in his heart. A light, 114 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: pink glow was radiating all around him, welcoming and kind 115 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: and so call mean, Ivy. I'm so sorry that I 116 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: didn't rush over to you when you fell, said Levi, 117 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: with his new magical sunglasses on. The feeling that he 118 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: had to apologize to Ivy was overwhelming. He wanted her 119 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: to know how much he cared about her, and what 120 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: a wonderful. 121 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: Person she was. 122 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: Ivy, I need to tell you something, Levi began to 123 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 2: say slowly. You're glowing, and it's amazing. You're glowing too, 124 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,239 Speaker 2: exclaimed Ivy. These sunglasses are magic. It's like the whole 125 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 2: world has come to life before our eyes. I'm seeing 126 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: things I never seen before. I know what you mean, 127 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: said Levi, spinning around and taken as much as he could. 128 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: It's like I can't see anything but the good in things, and. 129 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: It's such a wonderful feeling. 130 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi ran back to the path to see 131 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: what else their new sunglasses had to show them. The 132 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: leaves on the trees, which once looked dull, were now 133 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: a splendid, rich shade of emerald green. They were filled 134 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: with life and gently swayed in. 135 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: The breeze like they were dancing. 136 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: The flowers that once bent towards the ground, looking lazy 137 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: and tired, now reached up towards the sunlighting the path 138 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: with endless colors, and all at once. Ivy and Levi 139 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: couldn't help but here a symphony echoing through the forest, 140 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: birds singing and squirrels chattering, happily forming a song all together. 141 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: Levi, I never want to take these sunglasses off, said 142 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: Ivy with a big smile. This view of the world 143 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: makes me feel so happy. 144 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: As they continued to look around, they noticed things they 145 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: surely would have ignored if they weren't able to see 146 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: the world in this new magical way, like bees pollinating flowers, 147 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: allowing them to multiply and thrive, filling the world with 148 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: color and beauty. 149 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: A chipmunk sharing an acorn with a hungry squirrel. 150 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: Showing kindness and empathy, and a spider spinning in a 151 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: delicate web that they couldn't help notice looked just like 152 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: a heart, as if to show love to the world 153 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: it called home. Levi said Ivy, sounding a bit nervous. 154 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: What do you think will happen when we take these 155 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: sunglasses off? 156 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: Levi? 157 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: I didn't really want to think about that. He just 158 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: wanted to keep the incredible feeling of happiness and wondergoing. 159 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: I know, how about we just keep them on forever, 160 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: suggested LEVI. 161 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: Don't you think mom and dad would get a little 162 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: suspicious if we didn't take our sunglasses off at dinner, 163 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: or in. 164 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: The pool or when we went to bed. Hmm, that's 165 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: a good point, Levi agreed. I'll tell you what. 166 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: We'll take off the glasses together in just a little bit, 167 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: But for now, let's walk around a little bit more 168 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: and see what we can see. Deal, said Ivy happily. 169 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: As they continued to walk to the park. They had 170 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: never seen a more beautiful day. The park was now 171 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: full of people, and it didn't take long for Ivy 172 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: and Levi to notice something interesting. Just as they had 173 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: seen a light around each other, they could also see 174 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: a light around each person in the park, a soft, calming, 175 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: welcoming glow in different shades of pink, green, yellow, and blue. 176 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi stood back and observed the people in 177 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: the park. Some of them were their friends who they 178 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 2: knew very well. As they watched them all happily playing, sharing, 179 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: and working together, they started to understand what the light 180 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: around each of them meant. Levi, I think the light 181 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: tells us something about each person, Ivey began. I think 182 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: it shows us their greatest strengths when it comes to 183 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: adding happiness to the world. That's it, Levi exclaimed. Look 184 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: at Peter and Robbie. They're both so funny and always 185 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: make everyone's day better with silly jokes. Their lights are 186 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: both green, so maybe green means humor is their strength. 187 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: And look at Bianca, pointed out Ivy. She has to 188 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: be one of the nicest and kindest people I know. 189 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: She's always so supportive and helpful no matter what I think. 190 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: That's what the light pink means. Levi and Ivy noticed 191 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: a yellow light around friends that they knew were good 192 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 2: listeners and great advice givers, and a blue light around 193 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: those friends that they knew to be positive all the 194 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 2: time and great problem solvers. These things didn't just make 195 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 2: them great friends, but also made the world around them better, 196 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: hopefully allowing others to see how they could be the 197 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: best versions of themselves. Ivy and Levi passed the time 198 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: watching others and exploring the world around the park, discovering 199 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: great surprises around every corner. But as time passed, they 200 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: knew they had to take off their rose tinted glasses. 201 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: At some point, they decided to walk back to the 202 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 2: spot in the path where they had found them. That way, 203 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: they could see if everything looked the same as it 204 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: did before without their sunglasses on. Are you ready, asked 205 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: Levi once they reached the spot on the path where 206 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 2: they found the sunglasses. As ready as I'll ever be 207 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: to leave this incredible new world, said Ivy reluctantly. On 208 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: the count of three, started Levi, one, two, three. Once 209 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: they reached three, Ivy and Levi slowly took off their sunglasses. 210 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: Their slightly rose tinted view of the world faded before 211 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: their eyes, but that was the only thing. The leaves 212 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 2: on the trees overhead were still the same vibrant emerald green, 213 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: the flowers were still as beautiful and colorful, and the 214 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: songs of the four rang out in their ears. Nothing 215 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: changed started iving in a whisper before she began to 216 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: shout nothing changed. Our world still looks magical and amazing, 217 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 2: and it's all things to the sunglasses. Ivy and Levi 218 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: couldn't believe their eyes. They discovered they didn't need the 219 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: rose tinted sunglasses anymore. They had done their job, letting 220 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: them both see the world around them filled with so 221 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: much good and beauty. 222 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: You just have to keep your eyes open for it. 223 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi decided to return the sunglasses to the 224 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: little wooden box and put it back where they found it. 225 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: They thought that maybe one day some other kids would 226 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: need a reminder about the wonders that filled the world 227 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: they live in every day. Ivy and Levi I ran 228 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: home filled with happiness and excitement, very different than they 229 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: had left that afternoon. Dad, they both exclaimed, the grass 230 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: looks amazing, so bright, green and healthy looking. Great job, 231 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: Wow things, kids, That's truly the best thing a dad 232 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 2: could hope to hear from anyone about their lawn, said 233 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi's dad with a big smile. You too 234 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: seemed to be in a much better mood than when 235 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: you left your earlier Levi and Ivy told their dad 236 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: about what happened to them that day, sharing all the 237 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: amazing things they saw when they put on their rose 238 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: tinted sunglasses. 239 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: But also when they took them off. That's incredible, said 240 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: their dad. 241 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: But you know, you always had the ability to see 242 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: the good in others and the beauty in the world 243 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: around you. It's just sometimes we get bogged down with 244 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: other things that takes our focus off what's truly important, 245 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 2: those little things that make life so special that you 246 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: don't want to blink and miss a thing. Ivy and 247 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 2: Levi agreed with everything their dad said. As they went 248 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: to bed that night, they fell asleep thinking of their 249 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,239 Speaker 2: magical walk to the park and the rose tinted sunglasses 250 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: that gave them a whole new view of the world. 251 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: Did you learn a lesson from this story? A? Yeah? 252 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: What was it? And parents, do your kids have a 253 00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: story idea? 254 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: Leave a comment on our Apple podcast review page with 255 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: five stars, the idea and your kid's name for a 256 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: chance to join Levi and Ivy on their next adventure. 257 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: Until next time, Thanks for listening.
