<v Speaker 3>Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Ay

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Lewis story.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday,

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 4>dear Levi, Happy birthday to you, ring out from the

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 4>dining room as Levi's friends and family saying to him

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 4>on his big day.

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you everyone, Levi responded, I.

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Am so happy that everyone could be here today to

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 2>celebrate my birthday and eat cake, exclaimed Ivy as she

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.039
<v Speaker 2>swiped her finger through the layer of vanilla frosting on

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the top of Levi's birthday cake. Let's get to it,

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Levi laughed and agreed with his sister. The sooner we

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>eat the cake the sooner I can open up my gifts,

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>said Levi as he plucked the candles out of the

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 2>frosting and placed them on a napkin. His mom took

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 2>the cake into the kitchen to slice up, and as

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Levi and his friends waited, they all wondered what the

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>big gift in the corner of the room could be.

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>It was from Levi's parents, so it could have been anything. Hey, friends,

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>if you had a big present in the corner of

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>your room on your birthday, what would you hope would

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 2>be inside?

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Shout it out? Those are great choices.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's a spaceship, called out Wyatt as he made

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a flying motion with his arms stretched out.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe it's a drum.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Set, added Lydia, pretending to be playing the drums with

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 2>imaginary drumsticks. Nope, I think it's a dog with magical

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>powers and neon blue fur, giggled Aijamal as Levi's mom

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>walked back into the dining room holding a platter of

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>cake slices. Wellp you're all wrong and we'll just have

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>to wait until Levi opens his presence to find out,

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Levi's mom answered with a little smile. Levi listened to

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.399
<v Speaker 2>his friends make their guesses, but he had his own

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 2>idea of what he hoped would be a hyper Go

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>go motorcycle. He had been talking about it for months.

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>It was bright red with flames painted on the side,

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>and it looked just like a real motorcycle. It didn't

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 2>go as fast, but it was the coolest thing Levi

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>had ever seen, and he made it known to his

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>parents that he wanted it more than anything. Levi, Ivy,

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>and their friends finished up their cake and all ran

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.119
<v Speaker 2>into the living room. There, Levi took a seat next

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>to a big pile of colorful presents. One by one,

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>he opened them, thanking his friends as he went.

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Wow, a remote control car, this.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Is awesome, Thank you Wyat, A superhero figure with sound

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>effects and its own zipline incredible, Thank you, Lydia. And

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>a new soccer ball with Neon blue swirls.

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>This is great.

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Isijamal, said Levi. As he opened each gift,

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 2>he knew he was getting closer and closer to his parents'

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>big gifts. Still sitting in the corner of the dining room, Well,

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>it looks like you're all done opening your gifts, said

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Levi's dad with a smile, knowing very well their big

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>gift was still unopened. Actually, I think there's one more,

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>said Levi, pointing towards the dining room. You're right, replied

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 2>his dad. Let me go grab that for you. Levi's

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>mom and dad each picked up one end of the

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>box and walked into the living room. They plopped it

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>down in front of Levi, wishing him a very happy birthday.

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>We hope you like it, buddy, said his dad. I

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>have a feeling you will, added his mom. Levi couldn't

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>wait another second and ripped the wrapping paper off the

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>box in long strips, and since the final piece was off,

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>there it was right there on the side of the box,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a big picture of the hyper Go Go motorcycle. Levi

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>could not believe his eyes. Well he could because he'd

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 2>been asking for the motorcycle every day for months, but

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to finally see it right there in front of him.

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Was a little overwhelming.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever gotten a present that you were just

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 2>so excited about, because that's definitely how Levi's feeling. It

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>looked a lot bigger in person than on the TV

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>commercial where he had first seen it. He couldn't wait

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>to get out of the box, and neither could Ivy

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and his friends.

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Levi, that is so cool, called out Wyatt.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe mom and dad actually bought you a

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>hyper Go.

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Go, added Ivy.

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>You're so lucky, But I guess I am too, because

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>we can share it, right Levi. Levi was still so

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 2>focused on his new gift that he didn't respond to Ivy.

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>It was only when she called his name again that

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 2>he snapped back into reality and out of the hyper

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Go Go dream world he was seen in after seeing

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>his gift. Oh yeah, we can share it, Ivy. But

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it might be a little too big for

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you and too fast, said Levi. Well there's only one

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 2>way to find out, said Lydia. Take it out of

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>the box and give it a ride. Levi's mom and

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>dad helped Levi open the box and take the hyper

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Go Go motorcycle out. It was amazing looking and a

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 2>little bit intimidating. This wasn't a little kid bicycle. This

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>was an electric powered motorcycle that could go whipping around

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 2>the neighborhood. And the more Levi looked at it, the

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>more he felt his heart beating. It got quicker and

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 2>quicker as his friends asked him to go outside and

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 2>take his first ride. I can't, said Levi, feeling a

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 2>sense of relief from the situation. It's electric, so it

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 2>has to be charged to run, and it's not charged yet,

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 2>so I can't ride it, actually, interrupted Levi's dad. We

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>knew you'd want to ride it right away, so we

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>charged it already and put it back in the box

0:05:59.279 --> 0:05:59.919
<v Speaker 2>for you to open.

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Thanks, dad, said.

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Levi, trying to sound excited by the gesture. No problem,

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>answered his mom. Now go grab your helmet in the

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>garage and we'll meet you outside with your motorcycle. As

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Levi's mom and dad, Ivy, and all his friends got

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 2>ready to head outside, Levi suddenly exclaimed, I can't write

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 2>it now. I need to read the instructions, right, Mom,

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>don't you always say safety first? Yes, of course, replied

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Levi's mom. But you've been watching riding safety videos about

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the hyper Go Go online since you saw the commercial.

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>That's why we charged up for you so you'd be

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 1>ready to ride.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>And I even added the little bit of water so

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 2>it looks like real smoke coming out the back.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>But thank you for wanting to be safe, Levi, what's wrong?

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>You know everything about this motorcycle, said Ivy, sounding a

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>little disappointed. I was so excited to see my big

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>brother ride it around the neighborhood. I've known about it

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>for weeks and it was so difficult to keep the

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>secret from you. Please get it to go, leave by please.

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Ivy stared at Levi, looking so hopeful and excited to

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 2>see him ride that he just couldn't say no any longer.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Even though he was really nervous to ride the hyper

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Go Go, he gathered up all his courage and said, yes, awesome,

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>We can't wait to see your first ride, called out

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Ajamal as she and the rest of the group ran outside.

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Levi walked slowly into the garage to get his helmet

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and met everyone out in front of his house.

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Just a few moments.

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Later, his hyper Go Go motorcycle was shining in the

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 2>sun and ready to go.

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Be careful, Levi and go slow, said his mom. But

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>have fun. You've got this.

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Levi's dad gave him a pat on the back and

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 2>helped him onto the motorcycle. It was then that Levi realized,

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 2>aside from being bigger in person, it was also really heavy.

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Levi wasn't sure how his first ride was going to go,

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 2>but he knew he had to do it. However, having

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 2>his family and friends watching added a little extra level

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of nervousness to the situation. Levi teetered on his tiptoes

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>once he sat down on the seat, trying to steady

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 2>himself in balance. He thought he had it for a

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 2>moment and lifted one foot onto the slanted platform on

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the side of the motorcycle. However, he didn't have it,

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 2>and the hyper Go Go began to tip. Levi's dad

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>was still close by and ran over to catch Levi

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 2>right before he and the hyper Go Go.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Hit the ground. Are you gonna be okay, asked his dad.

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I'll get the hang of it in no time,

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 2>said Levi, sounding less than confident. I think I need

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 2>to start rolling forward first, and then I can pick

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 2>up one foot and then the other.

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>At least that's what I saw in the videos I watched.

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 2>You got this, buddy, said his dad, stepping away from

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the motorcycle, ready to cheer on his son. You got this, Levi,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Levi whispered to himself, not really believing what he was saying,

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>but as he did. He pushed the start button on

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 2>his motorcycle handle and felt the hyper Go go slowly

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 2>move forward. As it did, he tried to remember all

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 2>of the things he had seen in those online riding

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 2>safety videos. As it began to go a bit faster,

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Levi picked up his feet and felt himself riding down

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>the street. However, the ride was very short lived as

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the weight of the motorcycle became too much for Levi

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and he started to wobble. That wobble turned into a swerve,

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>and that swerve caused him to fall right in front

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>of his family and all of his friends. Are you okay,

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Levi called out Ivy, running over to him along with

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 2>everyone else. I'm fine, answered Levi, standing beside his motorcycle,

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.839
<v Speaker 2>which was still laying on the ground. I am more

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>embarrassed than anything. You don't have anything to be embarrassed about,

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>said Levi's mom, giving her.

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Son a hug.

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>You have just a little scrape on your knee, and

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 2>we can take care of that in no time. But

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Ivy was a little confused by the whole situation and said,

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how did you fall?

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Though you watched all those.

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Videos and told me how you were going to be

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>the best hyper go go rider ever. It just looked

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 2>so easy. Listening to his sister, Levi felt sad and defeated.

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I think everyone's parents will be picking

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 2>them up from the party any minute now, said Levi's mom.

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Noticing Levi's mood, she could tell that he wanted to

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 2>go inside and forget this ever happened. Everyone walked back

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>home as Levi's dad picked up his son's motorcycle and

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 2>pushed it back to the front yard. Thanks for the

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.839
<v Speaker 2>great party, said ajiamal Lydia and Wyatt as they grabbed

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 2>their goodie bags and headed out the door with their parents.

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I think you just need some more practice, said Wyatt

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 2>before he left.

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you'll get it in no time. And while you're.

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Working on it, do you think I could give your

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.839
<v Speaker 2>motorcycle a try? You can have it, said Levi unders breath.

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll never ride that thing again, what, asked Wyatt?

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Nothing.

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, sure you can give it a try, but

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>it's tougher than it looks, said Levi, heading back to

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the living room.

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Is why it walked out the door.

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.559
<v Speaker 2>From that day on, all Levi and Ivy's friends wanted

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>to do was see him ride his hyper Go Go

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>motorcycle again. They were sure he could do it and

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>wanted a chance for him to prove it to himself.

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>However, Levi wanted to do anything but that.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>He made every excuse you could think of as to

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 2>why he couldn't ride his motorcycle, things like I have

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.719
<v Speaker 2>so much homework today, I have.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Chores to do. I'm just not in the mood. I

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I heard it rain, and I don't think it's charged.

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Ivy and Levi's friends were getting tired of asking about

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the motorcycle, so they just stopped. They did other things instead,

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 2>as the hyper Go Go sat and collected dust in

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Levi's garage. Then one Saturday, Levi was in the garage

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 2>when his mom walked in to toss a bag of

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 2>garbage in the trash can. When she did, she saw

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Levi sitting next to his hyper Go Go motorcycle trying

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to take the electric box off the side.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Hey Levi, what are you doing, asked his mom.

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to see if there's a way to

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 2>make this like a pedal bike, answered Levi, you know,

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>so I can go a little slower and not have

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 2>to worry about this heavy engine weighing me down.

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh I see fun idea, But.

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I think you may be looking to convert this motorcycle

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.079
<v Speaker 2>for another reason, said his mom. Could it because you're

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.839
<v Speaker 2>scared to ride it? Levi looked down at the ground

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 2>and slowly nodded his head. I was so embarrassed when

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 2>I fell in front of everyone, and it's way harder

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>than I thought it would be to ride, Levi.

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry you and dad bought it for me. Do

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you think you could return it?

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we have to go that far, started

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Levi's mom. I think you just need to give it

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 2>another try. Giving up when things get difficult won't help

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>with anything, But trying your hardest to achieve something you've

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 2>really been looking forward to is definitely the way to go.

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>And I speak from experience. Levi's mom always seemed to

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>have the right story for a situation he and Ivy

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>got into, and when they needed a little encouragement, she

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>would help them along by telling them something similar that

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 1>had happened to her.

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>This situation was no different. Levi's mom went on to

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 2>tell him about the time she wanted to learn to

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>use a pogo stick. Hey, if you don't know what

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>a pogo stick is, take this chance to go ask

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 2>your mom and dad. She had wanted one forever, and

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 2>her best friend had one. Her friend knew how to

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 2>use it really well, and they both had dreams of

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 2>doing a pogo stick performance in their school's talent show.

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 2>So Levi's mom got a pogo stick for her birthday,

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>and the first time she tried it out, she fell

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and cut her leg. See I still have a little

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>scar right here, she said, showing Levi. I wanted to

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 2>give up right then, just like you, but my friend

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>encouraged me and told me to keep at it. I

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>fell a few more times before I got the hang

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 2>of it, but eventually I got it, and I could

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 2>have not been prouder of myself that I stuck with it.

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 1>My friend and I practiced every day, and we won

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>our school talent show.

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 2>And what meant more than the little trophy was knowing

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 2>that I wanted to give up, but I didn't. Levi

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 2>listened closely to every word and knew what he had

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Next.

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 2>He dusted off his HyperG Go motorcycle and rolled it

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>out of the garage. Ivy was playing outside and was

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 2>so excited to see Levi with his new toy again.

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>LEVI, are you gonna try and ride it again?

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Exclaimed to Ivy, looking so proud of her brother for

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.680
<v Speaker 2>giving another try. You know what, said Levi, looking at

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 2>his mom with a smile. I think, I am. I've

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 2>been wanting to ride this motorcycle for months now, and

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to give up. Levi's mom smiled at

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>her son and watched as he put on his helmet,

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 2>got on his motorcycle, and gave it another try. Levi

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 2>then practiced every day for two weeks before he really

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>started to get good. His confidence grew with every ride,

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 2>even if some of them ended with a little tumble

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 2>or another scraped knee. It also made it a lot

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 2>easier since Ivy was there cheering him on all the way. Levi,

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm so proud of you, said Ivy as she and

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Levi's friend stood around him and his Hyper Go Go

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 2>motorcycle one afternoon. You're doing great on that thing now,

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 2>said Lydia. It's awesome how you didn't give up, added

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Wyat and Aijamal. We're really proud of you, Levi, said

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Ivy as she gave her big brother a hug.

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>If mom and dad say it's okay, do you think

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>we could do a ride together? Sure, replied Levi. That

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>would be great.

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Ivy asked, and her parents said that would be fine,

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 2>So she got on her helmet and hopped on with Levi.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Everyone was outside once again to watch Levi take a ride,

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>but before he left, Levi's mom told him how proud

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 2>she was of him. Now you have your own story

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>about persevering and not giving up, said Levi's mom.

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Just remember, every scrape is a mark of an attempt.

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>We've made it something.

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 2>It's better to have those little reminders than to sit

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 2>back and wonder what could have happened.

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Be safe and have fun.

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Levi, thanks, mom, called out Levi's He rode off down

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the street with Ivy sitting behind him. She laughed and

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 2>cheered as the hyper Go Go motorcycle rolled along that

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 2>sunny afternoon. And now, every time Levi is in a

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 2>situation where he wants to give up because things are

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>getting tough, he looks at that little scar on his

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 2>knee from when he first fell off his motorcycle, and

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>he remembers that he can do it if he just

0:15:44.200 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>gives it one more try. Thanks for joining us today.

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.920
