0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Ay

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Lewis story. The story you were about to enjoy was

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>inspired by a violet thank you so much for your

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>amazing idea. After playing their new board game Candy Forest

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>all afternoon, Levi and Ivy couldn't think of anything else

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>but candy, gummy bears, licorice, chocolate, sour snacks, jellybeans, and

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>cotton candies. It all sounded amazing, so they asked their

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>parents if they could run down to the candy shop

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in town to get a sweet treat. Their parents agreed

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and told them to only get one candy each. It

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>was almost time for dinner, and they didn't want them

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>filling up on sugar. Levin and Ivy excitedly jumped onto

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>their bikes and rode down the street to the candy

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>shop next to the library. Once inside, they saw their

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>friend Violet. Violet's family owned the candy shop, which every

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.479
<v Speaker 1>kid in the neighborhood thought was just about the coolest

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>job you could have as an adult. Because of that,

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Violet was usually in a really good mood. I mean,

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>who wouldn't be if you were surrounded by candy all day?

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>But that day was different. Violet looked a bit down,

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 1>so Levi and Ivy tried their hardest to cheer her up.

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Hi a Violet called out, Ivy, we just had to

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>stop by because we've been playing that new board game,

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Candy Forest all afternoon. It's so much fun, but it

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>makes you pretty hungry for candy, said Levi, looking around

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>at the store with a bit of a surprise look

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on his face. Yep, it's a pretty cool game, said

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Violet with a sad sigh, having to save candy forests

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>from king no sweets.

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Good thing.

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>It's only a game, right, Imagine a world with no candy.

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Talking about the board game was not making Violet smile

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>as Levi and Ivy had intended. Instead, their friend was

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>looking sadder and sadder, And as Levi and now Ivy

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>looked around the candy shop, they started to see why.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>It kind of looks like a world with no candy

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and here, Violet, said Levi with a half smile.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 3>What's going on?

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Are you waiting for a delivery? Yeah, I've never seen

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 1>it so empty in here, added Ivy. But I'm sure

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the candy trucks will arrive any minute, when the candy

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 1>shop will be filled with sweet treats. Again, not exactly,

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>said Violet. The delivery isn't late. We're not waiting for

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>any trucks. The real problem is Violet pause, looking like

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>she was going to cry. The real problem is we're

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>running out of candy, said Violet. Yeah, that's what we said.

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Your store is running out of candy. So if you

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>just put in an order, your problem will be solved

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>by thinking it was a simple fix. No, Leviot's not

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>that easy, added Violet. The candy shop is running out

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of candy because the world is running out of candy.

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy couldn't believe what they were hearing how

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.119
<v Speaker 1>could that be. They knew Violet had more to tell them,

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>so they let her talk. The board game you're playing

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't exactly just a board game, Violet began, It's happening

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>for real. Violet then went on to tell her friends

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>how candy Forest is a real place. It's where all

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the candy shops in the world get their candy from.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>King No Sweets has always tried to shut the forest down,

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>but now he's actually doing it, and Violet's parents and

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the other candy store owners don't know how to stop him.

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>They were away that afternoon meeting with some other shop

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>owners to try and figure out how to stop the King.

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>King No Sweets is in the candy Forest right now,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to take all the candy away.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Violet went on.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>He only wants healthy food to be available to kids,

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and while I know having a healthy diet is really important,

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a little candy here and there is okay too. Levi

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy couldn't believe what they were hearing, and they

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what to say. But for the first time

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>they had been in the candy shop, Violet looked hopeful.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Wait a minute, you both.

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Said, you've been playing Candy Forest all afternoon, right, asked Violet.

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>How good are you at the game? I don't want

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>a brad, but we're both pretty good, said Levi. We've

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>figured out how to beat King No Sweets pretty much

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>at every turn, said Ivy.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Why do you ask?

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Because I think if we work together, then maybe we

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>can help save Candy Forest, said Violet with a smile.

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy were very interested in helping get back

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the world's candy supply, so they agreed to help Violet.

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>After talking strategy for a bit, Levi and Ivy ran

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>home to grab their board game. Violet said they could

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>use that as a way to get to the Candy

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Forest quickly. Once home, Levi and Ivy told their parents

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>they were helping Violet with something at the candy shop

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and could they please stay a little bit longer. Both

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 1>their parents love Violet and her family and said that

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>would be okay. Now. Back at the candy store, Levi, Ivy,

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and Violet got ready to take a trip. With the

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>clothes sign on the candy shop door, the three friends

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>walked into the back room, put the Candy Forest game

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>board on the ground, and tried to prepare themselves for

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>whatever happened.

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Next, Violet told.

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Her friends to hold hands, close their eyes, and jump

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>when she said go. They waited patiently as Violet started

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to recite a little poem.

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Candy forest, sugary, sweet, full of tasty things to eat.

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 3>We have to visit. It's candy.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>We need. Please get us there with lightning and speed. Ready,

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy asked Violet as a breeze began to

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>swirl around them. As ready as we can be to

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>jump into a board game, defeat a menacing king, and

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.559
<v Speaker 1>return the world's candy supply, said Levi with his eyes closed. Good,

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>answered Violet. Ivy squeezed her brother's hand and they both

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>waited until Violet called.

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Out to go.

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Then they all jumped toward the board game on the floor,

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and within seconds they were transported to cant the very

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>same one in their game, well almost, with king no

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.919
<v Speaker 1>sweets in charge. It was lacking the one thing that

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>made it truly special, candy. The forest seemed quite sad,

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 1>and Levi and Ivy knew they had to act quick.

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>It's worse than I thought, said Violet, looking around. I've

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>never seen the trees, bushes, flowers and vines so empty

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>before there's hardly any candy left. That's when they heard

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a low, deep voice booming from the center of the forest.

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It didn't take long to figure out who it was,

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.239
<v Speaker 1>King No Sweets. He was talking about how his plan

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 1>to shut down the forest was almost complete. I started

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>with the cotton candy trees, then moved on to the

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>jellybean bushes, the chocolate dropped flowers.

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 3>And on and on and on. The King laughed.

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Pretty soon all the world will have to eat our

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>fresh fruits and veggies, my favorite. That's not fair, whispered Ivy.

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I have my favorite fruits and veggies too, but I

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>also have my favorite chocolates and candies. Sometimes sweet treats

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>are really nice, and the King doesn't have the right

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>to take them away from everyone. At that moment, the

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>three friends could feel someone looming over them. When they

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>turned slowly around, they came face to face with King

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>No Sweets. Oh it's not fair, is it, called out

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the King as he stared at the three frightened friends.

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't fair when you started dipping dried fruit and

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>sugar and calling it a good snack. And don't get

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>me started on chocolate covered raisins.

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 3>How could you.

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Those things are tasty, King, and we don't put candy

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>on fruit all the time, Levi began, Yeah, there are

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so many other fruits and veggies in the world for

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you to eat, So why do you have to take

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>away all our candy?

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Asked Ivy.

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>It's simple, since you did it all those other times,

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you could start covering all the fruits and veggies in

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the world and sugar and chocolate, grumbled the king, yuck.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Then what would I have left to eat? Then all

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:07.679
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden, Levi.

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Ivy and Violet knew what was going on. The King

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>was feeling the same way they were feeling when they

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>thought the sweet treats and candy would be gone forever.

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>They were feeling upset and sad, and we're going to

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>do whatever it took to make sure that didn't happen.

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>The King was feeling the same way. But what the

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>King didn't think of was the negative impact his decision

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to close down Candy Forest would have on so many

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>other people. Levi, Ivy and Violet were always taught to

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>think of others, and now they had to teach that

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.719
<v Speaker 1>lesson to the king. While Levi and Ivy were great

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>at Candy Forest, the board game, they quickly learned that

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>this was not a game.

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 3>It was real. Wife.

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>They had to talk to King No Sweets and get

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>him to understand that there were other ways that he

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>could get what he wanted, and those ways didn't include

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>closing down Candy Forest. If you give us a minute

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to talk together, I think we can come up with

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a solution that will work for everyone. Violet pleaded with

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the King. The King didn't have high hopes for the discussion,

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>but he allowed the three friends to talk and agreed

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>to listen to them. While he waited, he went about

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>his daily routine of covering all the trees, bushes, flowers,

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and vines and candy forests with a heavy amount of water.

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Now you would think that would be helpful, since all

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>living things need water to grow, But in candy forests,

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>all the trees, bushes, flowers, and vines need to be

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>fed sugar as water melts the candy that they all produce.

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>We need to work fast, said Violet to Levi and Ivy.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Now you said you knew how to stop King No

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Sweets at every turn in the board game, so do it.

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>We can't, answered Ivy. We can't use the same things

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that we use during the game. Because the King is real.

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>We need to talk to him and explain how what

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 1>he's doing is wrong. We need to make him see

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>how this is affecting other people, added Levi. He started

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>doing all this because he was scared about losing his

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>favorite treats, so he knows how it feels to be us.

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>We have to make him see that there's a way

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>for everyone to get what they want without taking any away.

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Violet trusted her friends and followed her lead as they

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>walked back over to King. No sweets to talk.

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>So what do you have in store for me? Asked

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 3>the King with a smile, Throwing.

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Some sticky sour suckers at me to stick me to

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the ground so I can't move, or maybe dropping some

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 1>freeze dried fruit candy on my head to freeze me

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in place, or how about pushing me into a river

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of chalcolate so.

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 3>I float away from here.

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, none of your little board game strategies you're going

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to work here because this is real life and not

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a game. We know, said Ivy, interrupting the King. That's

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 1>why we're not going to use any tricks from the

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>game to stop you. We just want to talk and

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 1>tell you how what you're doing is affecting other people

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and making them sad, just the way you felt when

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you thought there was a chance that all your favorite

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>treats would go away forever, said Levi. King No sweets

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>stopped what he was doing. He was surprised at how

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy were going to handle the situation and

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 1>somewhat curious to hear what they had to say.

0:10:59.280 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>So was Violet.

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>They started by asking the King to sit down and

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.319
<v Speaker 1>think of some of his happiest childhood memories with food.

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>He went on to tell them about snacking on fresh apples,

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>juicy berries, and tasty.

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Bananas when he was little.

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>He smiled as he told stories about eating vegetable stew

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>with his parents and their castle, and sugar treating for

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>baby carrots and his home kingdom.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 3>We have great memories like that too, said Levi.

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>My favorite birthday dinner is pasta with my mom's fresh

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.319
<v Speaker 1>tomato sauce and a big salad filled with all the veggies.

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 3>We grow in our garden.

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>But I also have wonderful memories of candy filled pignats

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>at my birthday parties. And cupcakes topped with little sugar balloons.

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Ivy and Violet saw what Levi was doing and started

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>to tell all their favorite food stories filled with both

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>sugary and healthy snacks. I can promise you that no

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>one in our world wants to add candy or sugar

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to all the fruits and veggies you enjoy, said Levi.

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I know you must have felt terrible when you thought

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>those tasty treats would be gone forever.

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 3>I know because that's how we're feeling right now.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you have to believe us, said Ivy. If you

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>stop what you're doing, then everyone can have.

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 3>What they want.

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll still enjoy our fruits and veggies just like you,

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>but we'll also be able to enjoy a candy apple

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>in the fall or a cotton candy at the state fair. Please, King,

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>no sweets, started Violet. Candy is my family's business. It's

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>our whole life, and we couldn't imagine a world without it,

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 1>and neither should any little kid like us.

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Levi, Ivy, and Violet pled their case to the King.

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>They just hoped that they really heard what they were

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>saying and it made them feel what he was doing

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. As the three friends sat in silence. They

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>watched as the king wiped a tear from his cheek.

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>They knew they had gotten through to him. It's not

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a great feeling to think that your favorite food is

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>being taken away forever, said the king. And I don't

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>want you or anyone else to have that feeling, So

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess I can let candy forest go back to

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.840
<v Speaker 1>growing the world's candy like before. Levi Ivy and Violet

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>couldn't control themselves as they jumped up and.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Hugged the king.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, enough of that, said the King. Just promise

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to lay of sugar coating any more.

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Of my fruits and vegetables. Don't worry, King, there.

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Will be plenty of healthy treats for everyone, said Violet.

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>The king then left to return to his kingdom as

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Levi Ivy and Violet started feeding all the trees, bushes, flowers,

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and vines in the candy forest with the sugar they

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>were missing so much. In no time, all the cotton

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 1>candy bloomed again, Chocolate drops sprouted from flowers, and gummy

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>worms poked their heads out of the chocolate cookie dirt

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to say thank you, Violet. Levi and Ivy returned back

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to the candy shop just in time to make it

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>home for dinner. I can't wait to tell my parents

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>what we did today, said Violet. I'm gonna call them

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>right now. They'll be forever grateful for you save in

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>our business and the world's candy supply. Happy to help,

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 1>said Ivy and Levi as they gave their friend a hug.

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they would want you to have a little

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 1>treat to say thank you, said Violet. Please take whatever

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you'd like. How about we come back tomorrow when you're all.

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Stocked up, suggested Levi.

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to spoil our appetites for dinner, said Ivy.

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Our mom is making our favorite.

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Veggie chili and cheese casadillas. The King would be happy

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to hear. That, could go, Violet. Levi and Ivy laughed too,

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to their delicious, healthy dinner, but knowing they'd

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>be back at the candy shop soon for some sweet treats.

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 1>That's because they've always known that enjoying any food in

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 1>small amounts is more than fine, and thanks to them

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>now the King knows too.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for joining us today.

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.760
