Let's get to it, 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: Levi laughed and agreed with his sister. The sooner we 24 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: eat the cake the sooner I can open up my gifts, 25 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: said Levi as he plucked the candles out of the 26 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: frosting and placed them on a napkin. His mom took 27 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: the cake into the kitchen to slice up, and as 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: Levi and his friends waited, they all wondered what the 29 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: big gift in the corner of the room could be. 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: It was from Levi's parents, so it could have been anything. Hey, friends, 31 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: if you had a big present in the corner of 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: your room on your birthday, what would you hope would 33 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: be inside? 34 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: Shout it out? Those are great choices. 35 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: Maybe it's a spaceship, called out Wyatt as he made 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: a flying motion with his arms stretched out. 37 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: Or maybe it's a drum. 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: Set, added Lydia, pretending to be playing the drums with 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: imaginary drumsticks. Nope, I think it's a dog with magical 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: powers and neon blue fur, giggled Aijamal as Levi's mom 41 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: walked back into the dining room holding a platter of 42 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: cake slices. Wellp you're all wrong and we'll just have 43 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: to wait until Levi opens his presence to find out, 44 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: Levi's mom answered with a little smile. Levi listened to 45 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 2: his friends make their guesses, but he had his own 46 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: idea of what he hoped would be a hyper Go 47 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: go motorcycle. He had been talking about it for months. 48 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: It was bright red with flames painted on the side, 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: and it looked just like a real motorcycle. It didn't 50 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: go as fast, but it was the coolest thing Levi 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: had ever seen, and he made it known to his 52 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: parents that he wanted it more than anything. Levi, Ivy, 53 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: and their friends finished up their cake and all ran 54 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 2: into the living room. There, Levi took a seat next 55 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: to a big pile of colorful presents. One by one, 56 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: he opened them, thanking his friends as he went. 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: Wow, a remote control car, this. 58 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: Is awesome, Thank you Wyat, A superhero figure with sound 59 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: effects and its own zipline incredible, Thank you, Lydia. And 60 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: a new soccer ball with Neon blue swirls. 61 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: This is great. 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: Thank you Isijamal, said Levi. As he opened each gift, 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: he knew he was getting closer and closer to his parents' 64 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: big gifts. Still sitting in the corner of the dining room, Well, 65 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: it looks like you're all done opening your gifts, said 66 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: Levi's dad with a smile, knowing very well their big 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: gift was still unopened. Actually, I think there's one more, 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: said Levi, pointing towards the dining room. You're right, replied 69 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: his dad. Let me go grab that for you. Levi's 70 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: mom and dad each picked up one end of the 71 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: box and walked into the living room. They plopped it 72 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: down in front of Levi, wishing him a very happy birthday. 73 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: We hope you like it, buddy, said his dad. I 74 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: have a feeling you will, added his mom. Levi couldn't 75 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: wait another second and ripped the wrapping paper off the 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: box in long strips, and since the final piece was off, 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: there it was right there on the side of the box, 78 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: a big picture of the hyper Go Go motorcycle. Levi 79 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: could not believe his eyes. Well he could because he'd 80 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: been asking for the motorcycle every day for months, but 81 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: to finally see it right there in front of him. 82 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: Was a little overwhelming. 83 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: Have you ever gotten a present that you were just 84 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: so excited about, because that's definitely how Levi's feeling. It 85 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: looked a lot bigger in person than on the TV 86 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: commercial where he had first seen it. He couldn't wait 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: to get out of the box, and neither could Ivy 88 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: and his friends. 89 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Levi, that is so cool, called out Wyatt. 90 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: I can't believe mom and dad actually bought you a 91 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: hyper Go. 92 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: Go, added Ivy. 93 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: You're so lucky, But I guess I am too, because 94 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: we can share it, right Levi. Levi was still so 95 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: focused on his new gift that he didn't respond to Ivy. 96 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: It was only when she called his name again that 97 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: he snapped back into reality and out of the hyper 98 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: Go Go dream world he was seen in after seeing 99 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: his gift. Oh yeah, we can share it, Ivy. But 100 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 2: I think it might be a little too big for 101 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: you and too fast, said Levi. Well there's only one 102 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: way to find out, said Lydia. Take it out of 103 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: the box and give it a ride. Levi's mom and 104 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: dad helped Levi open the box and take the hyper 105 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: Go Go motorcycle out. It was amazing looking and a 106 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: little bit intimidating. This wasn't a little kid bicycle. This 107 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: was an electric powered motorcycle that could go whipping around 108 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: the neighborhood. And the more Levi looked at it, the 109 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: more he felt his heart beating. It got quicker and 110 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: quicker as his friends asked him to go outside and 111 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: take his first ride. I can't, said Levi, feeling a 112 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: sense of relief from the situation. It's electric, so it 113 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 2: has to be charged to run, and it's not charged yet, 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: so I can't ride it, actually, interrupted Levi's dad. We 115 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: knew you'd want to ride it right away, so we 116 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: charged it already and put it back in the box 117 00:05:59,279 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 2: for you to open. 118 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: Wow. Thanks, dad, said. 119 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: Levi, trying to sound excited by the gesture. No problem, 120 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: answered his mom. Now go grab your helmet in the 121 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: garage and we'll meet you outside with your motorcycle. As 122 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: Levi's mom and dad, Ivy, and all his friends got 123 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: ready to head outside, Levi suddenly exclaimed, I can't write 124 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: it now. I need to read the instructions, right, Mom, 125 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: don't you always say safety first? Yes, of course, replied 126 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: Levi's mom. But you've been watching riding safety videos about 127 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: the hyper Go Go online since you saw the commercial. 128 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: That's why we charged up for you so you'd be 129 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: ready to ride. 130 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: And I even added the little bit of water so 131 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: it looks like real smoke coming out the back. 132 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: But thank you for wanting to be safe, Levi, what's wrong? 133 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: You know everything about this motorcycle, said Ivy, sounding a 134 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: little disappointed. I was so excited to see my big 135 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: brother ride it around the neighborhood. I've known about it 136 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: for weeks and it was so difficult to keep the 137 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: secret from you. Please get it to go, leave by please. 138 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: Ivy stared at Levi, looking so hopeful and excited to 139 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: see him ride that he just couldn't say no any longer. 140 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: Even though he was really nervous to ride the hyper 141 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: Go Go, he gathered up all his courage and said, yes, awesome, 142 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: We can't wait to see your first ride, called out 143 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: Ajamal as she and the rest of the group ran outside. 144 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: Levi walked slowly into the garage to get his helmet 145 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: and met everyone out in front of his house. 146 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: Just a few moments. 147 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: Later, his hyper Go Go motorcycle was shining in the 148 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: sun and ready to go. 149 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: Be careful, Levi and go slow, said his mom. But 150 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: have fun. You've got this. 151 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: Levi's dad gave him a pat on the back and 152 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: helped him onto the motorcycle. It was then that Levi realized, 153 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: aside from being bigger in person, it was also really heavy. 154 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: Levi wasn't sure how his first ride was going to go, 155 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: but he knew he had to do it. However, having 156 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: his family and friends watching added a little extra level 157 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: of nervousness to the situation. Levi teetered on his tiptoes 158 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: once he sat down on the seat, trying to steady 159 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: himself in balance. He thought he had it for a 160 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: moment and lifted one foot onto the slanted platform on 161 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: the side of the motorcycle. However, he didn't have it, 162 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: and the hyper Go Go began to tip. Levi's dad 163 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: was still close by and ran over to catch Levi 164 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: right before he and the hyper Go Go. 165 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: Hit the ground. Are you gonna be okay, asked his dad. 166 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: Sure, I'll get the hang of it in no time, 167 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: said Levi, sounding less than confident. I think I need 168 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: to start rolling forward first, and then I can pick 169 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: up one foot and then the other. 170 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: At least that's what I saw in the videos I watched. 171 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: You got this, buddy, said his dad, stepping away from 172 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: the motorcycle, ready to cheer on his son. You got this, Levi, 173 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: Levi whispered to himself, not really believing what he was saying, 174 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: but as he did. He pushed the start button on 175 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 2: his motorcycle handle and felt the hyper Go go slowly 176 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: move forward. As it did, he tried to remember all 177 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: of the things he had seen in those online riding 178 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: safety videos. As it began to go a bit faster, 179 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 2: Levi picked up his feet and felt himself riding down 180 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: the street. However, the ride was very short lived as 181 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: the weight of the motorcycle became too much for Levi 182 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: and he started to wobble. That wobble turned into a swerve, 183 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: and that swerve caused him to fall right in front 184 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: of his family and all of his friends. Are you okay, 185 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: Levi called out Ivy, running over to him along with 186 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: everyone else. I'm fine, answered Levi, standing beside his motorcycle, 187 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 2: which was still laying on the ground. I am more 188 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: embarrassed than anything. You don't have anything to be embarrassed about, 189 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 2: said Levi's mom, giving her. 190 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: Son a hug. 191 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: You have just a little scrape on your knee, and 192 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: we can take care of that in no time. But 193 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 2: Ivy was a little confused by the whole situation and said, 194 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: I mean, how did you fall? 195 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: Though you watched all those. 196 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: Videos and told me how you were going to be 197 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 2: the best hyper go go rider ever. It just looked 198 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 2: so easy. Listening to his sister, Levi felt sad and defeated. 199 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 2: You know what, I think everyone's parents will be picking 200 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: them up from the party any minute now, said Levi's mom. 201 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: Noticing Levi's mood, she could tell that he wanted to 202 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: go inside and forget this ever happened. Everyone walked back 203 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: home as Levi's dad picked up his son's motorcycle and 204 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: pushed it back to the front yard. Thanks for the 205 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: great party, said ajiamal Lydia and Wyatt as they grabbed 206 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: their goodie bags and headed out the door with their parents. 207 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: I think you just need some more practice, said Wyatt 208 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 2: before he left. 209 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll get it in no time. And while you're. 210 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: Working on it, do you think I could give your 211 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 2: motorcycle a try? You can have it, said Levi unders breath. 212 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: I'll never ride that thing again, what, asked Wyatt? 213 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: Oh? Nothing. 214 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: I mean, sure you can give it a try, but 215 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: it's tougher than it looks, said Levi, heading back to 216 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: the living room. 217 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: Is why it walked out the door. 218 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 2: From that day on, all Levi and Ivy's friends wanted 219 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: to do was see him ride his hyper Go Go 220 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: motorcycle again. They were sure he could do it and 221 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: wanted a chance for him to prove it to himself. 222 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: However, Levi wanted to do anything but that. 223 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: He made every excuse you could think of as to 224 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 2: why he couldn't ride his motorcycle, things like I have 225 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 2: so much homework today, I have. 226 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: Chores to do. I'm just not in the mood. I 227 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: I heard it rain, and I don't think it's charged. 228 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 2: Ivy and Levi's friends were getting tired of asking about 229 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: the motorcycle, so they just stopped. They did other things instead, 230 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 2: as the hyper Go Go sat and collected dust in 231 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: Levi's garage. Then one Saturday, Levi was in the garage 232 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: when his mom walked in to toss a bag of 233 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: garbage in the trash can. When she did, she saw 234 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: Levi sitting next to his hyper Go Go motorcycle trying 235 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: to take the electric box off the side. 236 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: Hey Levi, what are you doing, asked his mom. 237 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to see if there's a way to 238 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: make this like a pedal bike, answered Levi, you know, 239 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: so I can go a little slower and not have 240 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: to worry about this heavy engine weighing me down. 241 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: Oh I see fun idea, But. 242 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: I think you may be looking to convert this motorcycle 243 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 2: for another reason, said his mom. Could it because you're 244 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 2: scared to ride it? Levi looked down at the ground 245 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: and slowly nodded his head. I was so embarrassed when 246 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: I fell in front of everyone, and it's way harder 247 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: than I thought it would be to ride, Levi. 248 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry you and dad bought it for me. Do 249 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: you think you could return it? 250 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: I don't think we have to go that far, started 251 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: Levi's mom. I think you just need to give it 252 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: another try. Giving up when things get difficult won't help 253 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: with anything, But trying your hardest to achieve something you've 254 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: really been looking forward to is definitely the way to go. 255 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: And I speak from experience. Levi's mom always seemed to 256 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: have the right story for a situation he and Ivy 257 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: got into, and when they needed a little encouragement, she 258 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: would help them along by telling them something similar that 259 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: had happened to her. 260 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: This situation was no different. Levi's mom went on to 261 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: tell him about the time she wanted to learn to 262 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: use a pogo stick. Hey, if you don't know what 263 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: a pogo stick is, take this chance to go ask 264 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: your mom and dad. She had wanted one forever, and 265 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: her best friend had one. Her friend knew how to 266 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: use it really well, and they both had dreams of 267 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: doing a pogo stick performance in their school's talent show. 268 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: So Levi's mom got a pogo stick for her birthday, 269 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: and the first time she tried it out, she fell 270 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: and cut her leg. See I still have a little 271 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: scar right here, she said, showing Levi. I wanted to 272 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 2: give up right then, just like you, but my friend 273 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: encouraged me and told me to keep at it. I 274 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: fell a few more times before I got the hang 275 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: of it, but eventually I got it, and I could 276 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: have not been prouder of myself that I stuck with it. 277 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: My friend and I practiced every day, and we won 278 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: our school talent show. 279 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: And what meant more than the little trophy was knowing 280 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: that I wanted to give up, but I didn't. Levi 281 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: listened closely to every word and knew what he had 282 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: to do. 283 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 3: Next. 284 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: He dusted off his HyperG Go motorcycle and rolled it 285 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: out of the garage. Ivy was playing outside and was 286 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: so excited to see Levi with his new toy again. 287 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: LEVI, are you gonna try and ride it again? 288 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: Exclaimed to Ivy, looking so proud of her brother for 289 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 2: giving another try. You know what, said Levi, looking at 290 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: his mom with a smile. I think, I am. I've 291 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: been wanting to ride this motorcycle for months now, and 292 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: I'm not going to give up. Levi's mom smiled at 293 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 2: her son and watched as he put on his helmet, 294 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: got on his motorcycle, and gave it another try. Levi 295 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: then practiced every day for two weeks before he really 296 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: started to get good. His confidence grew with every ride, 297 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: even if some of them ended with a little tumble 298 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: or another scraped knee. It also made it a lot 299 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: easier since Ivy was there cheering him on all the way. Levi, 300 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: I'm so proud of you, said Ivy as she and 301 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: Levi's friend stood around him and his Hyper Go Go 302 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: motorcycle one afternoon. You're doing great on that thing now, 303 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: said Lydia. It's awesome how you didn't give up, added 304 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: Wyat and Aijamal. We're really proud of you, Levi, said 305 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: Ivy as she gave her big brother a hug. 306 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: If mom and dad say it's okay, do you think 307 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: we could do a ride together? Sure, replied Levi. That 308 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: would be great. 309 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: Ivy asked, and her parents said that would be fine, 310 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 2: So she got on her helmet and hopped on with Levi. 311 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: Everyone was outside once again to watch Levi take a ride, 312 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: but before he left, Levi's mom told him how proud 313 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: she was of him. Now you have your own story 314 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: about persevering and not giving up, said Levi's mom. 315 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: Just remember, every scrape is a mark of an attempt. 316 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: We've made it something. 317 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: It's better to have those little reminders than to sit 318 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: back and wonder what could have happened. 319 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: Be safe and have fun. 320 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: Levi, thanks, mom, called out Levi's He rode off down 321 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: the street with Ivy sitting behind him. She laughed and 322 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: cheered as the hyper Go Go motorcycle rolled along that 323 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: sunny afternoon.
