00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:37,160

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: and Troy were sitting on the edge of their seats

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: waiting to hear what Levi and Ivy would say about

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: Alice and her unbelievable adventure to find the magic door

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: in Sweets Wonderland that would lead her back to the

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: real world. As Levi was about to start telling his

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: friends the rest of the story, the door to the

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: mess hall opened. They all turned around with a jump,

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: thinking their counselors had come back to see what was

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: taking them so long, but that was not the case. Instead,

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: the door opened and a woman in tan pants and

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: a blue shirt walked in, pulling a wagonful of candies.

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: And snacks.

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, kids, I didn't mean to scare you, said the woman.

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: I'm just here to fill up the vending machine. Go

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: right back to your story. Levi and Ivy looked at

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: the woman a bit longer than Harry, Casey and Troy.

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: The three of them quickly turned their attention back to

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: the story, waiting for Levi and Ivy to do the same.

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Levi whispered, Ivy, does does that woman look familiar to you?

30
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: A little, answered Levi, But we should get back to

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: the story. Levi took another quick look at the woman

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: as she began to fill the vending machine before he

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: started to tell everyone the rest of the story. At

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: this point, Alice was running through the forest with the

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: three gingerbread men looking for Levi and Ivy.

36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: She was confident she would find them.

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: But as they ranted the first turn down a dark path,

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: things didn't look so good. Stop, called out one of

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: the gingerbread men. Watch out for the hot chocolate. Normally,

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: Alice would run toward hot chocolate. She loved it, but

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: that day it definitely was something to avoid. Alice and

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: the other two gingerbread men came to a fast stop

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: right at the edge of the hot chocolate river that

44
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: was running in front of them.

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: How are we gonna get over that, asked one of

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: the gingerbread men.

47
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: I think I know a way we can get across,

48
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: said Alice, doing some quick thinking.

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: When I have hot chocolate, the one thing.

50
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: That seems to last forever are the big marshmallows that

51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: I put on top. There have to be marshmallows somewhere

52
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: in sweet wonderland, right One of the gingerbread men jumped

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: right up and ran through a large patch of green

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: licorice grass.

55
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: He was only gone a minute before he returned with

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: four giant marshmallows.

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: I think these will work nicely, said the gingerbread men

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: with a smile. He took all four marshmallows and tossed

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: them into the chocolate river. Then he, the other two

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: gingerbread men, and Alice each jumped on one and floated

61
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: across the river. Once they reached the other side, the

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: marshmallows melted away. They each jumped off and landed safely

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: on the cookie crumble shore.

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Those marshmallows were just the right size. Thank you, exclaimed

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Alice to the gingerbread men.

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: The four friends continued through the forest running past thumb

67
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: drop trees and milk chocolate waterfalls before they ended up

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: in a field full of lollipops every color, size and

69
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: shape you could imagine, and it was then that they

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: finally found Levi and Ivy. Alice over here, Levi called out,

71
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: waving his arm from behind a big pink and red lollipop.

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm so glad to see you.

73
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: Shouted Alice as she and the three gingerbread men ran

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: up to Ivy and Levi. Alice explained to Levi and

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: Ivy that the gingerbread Men were there to help them

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: find the magic door and return to the real world.

77
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy looked hopeful, but also a little nervous.

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: We've been trying to find the magic door here for

79
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: the last two days, said Levi. It's harder to find

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: it than you would.

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Think, added Ivy. You think a door in the middle

82
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: of all this candy would be easy to see.

83
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: But we haven't been able to find it. That's where

84
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: the gingerbread Men come in, said Alice. Just trust them

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: and follow us. I know we can do this together.

86
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: As Alice, Levi and Ivy, and the three gingerbread Men

87
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: took off through the lollipop forest. They soon found out

88
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: that this was going to be a little harder than

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: they had first thought. As they were running in between

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: the lollipops, they heard a rumbling sound. They all stopped

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 2: and stared in every direction before they saw them.

92
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: A whole giant group of gummy bears.

93
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: They were much bigger than the gummy bears that Alice,

94
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy enjoyed for a sweet snack.

95
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: They towered over the three friends, and they didn't look

96
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: happy at all.

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: How dare you try to cross the lollipop forest without

98
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: the Queen knowing?

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: Said the red gummy bear.

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: Someone's called the Queen and her guards immediately exclaimed the

101
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: green gummy bear, as and his gummy group stood right

102
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: in front of the gingerbread men Alice, Levi and Ivy.

103
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: Alice knew right away she had some more quick thinking

104
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: to do. What could stop a gummy bear, Alice thought

105
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: to herself, and then she figured it out. The last

106
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: time she had gummy bears, she had them on top

107
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: of ice cream.

108
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: She remembered thinking it would be really really tasty chewy.

109
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: Tree on top of her cold ice cream, But instead,

110
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: the gummy bears became very hard and very difficult to chew.

111
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: That's it, Alice exclaimed. There has to be some snow

112
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: cones around here, right. The gingerbread men shook their heads. Yes, yes,

113
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: there are some, not too far from here. One gingerbread

114
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: man said they grow at the base of the fruit

115
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: punch waterfalls. No sooner did he finish talking than another

116
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: one of the gingerbread men ran off to grab them. Alice, Levi,

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: and Ivy all did their best to hold off the

118
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: gummy bears as they kept a lookout for the mean

119
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: queen in her guards.

120
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: A few minutes.

121
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: Passed before a very chilly gingerbreadman ran back holding a

122
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: few giant snow cones. Just trust me, said Alice as

123
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: she grabbed the snow cones and gave them to Levi

124
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: and Ivy. Just wave them in front of the gummy bears.

125
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: Then she told Levi and Ivy to fling the cones

126
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: toward the bears on the count of three.

127
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: They all did it.

128
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: Together, and as soon as chili flavored ice hit the

129
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: gummy bears, they frozen place. The berried chili gummies couldn't move,

130
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: couldn't walk, and couldn't talk, So that meant that the

131
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: gingerbread men, Alice, Levi and Ivy could finally get around

132
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: them and through the lollipop forest. It was really cool

133
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: hanging out with you guys, giggled Alice as she ran

134
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: past the gummy bears.

135
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, just stay here and chill out, laughed Ivy as

136
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: she followed Alice. We're sure you'll thaw out soon.

137
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: As Alice, Levi and Ivy followed the gingerbread men, they

138
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: saw something in the distance that didn't look like a

139
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: tasty sweet treat.

140
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: The door. The door, exclaimed Alice. I can see it.

141
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: It's right there, past those fonded flowers. But just when Alice,

142
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy thought they.

143
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: Were home free, they saw a few other things that

144
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: weren't as sweet at all.

145
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: The Queen of Sweet Wonderland and her guards. Just where

146
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: do you think you're going.

147
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: Said the queen as she pointed to her guards to

148
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: jump in front of the magic door. At this point,

149
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: so much was going on that Alice didn't notice that

150
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: the gingerbread men had snuck off into the tall liquorice

151
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: grass on the side of the trail. Well, it looks

152
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: like we've stopped you just before you got to the

153
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: magic door, said the queen with a laugh. Looks like

154
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: you'll be here for a little longer than you thought.

155
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: Alice was out of ideas and looked at Levi and

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: Ivy to see if they could think of anything. Unfortunately,

157
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: they just looked back at her. We don't know what

158
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: to do either, whispered Ivy. We're sorry. And just when

159
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: they thought all hope was lost and they would have

160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: to live in sweet Wonderland forever, they heard a noise

161
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: in the long licorice grass. Who dares to sneak up

162
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: on the queen, said the queen, ordering her guards to investigate.

163
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: Alice watched as the guards and the queen turned their

164
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: attention to the long licorice grass.

165
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: They walked further and further into the grass as.

166
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: The noise continued. This is our chance, whispered Alice to

167
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy. Let's go, and without a moment more

168
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: of thought, the three friends jumped towards the magic door,

169
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: grabbed the doorknob, and turned it. The door swung open,

170
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: and just as the queen and her guards realized that

171
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: no one was watching Alice, Levi, and Ivy anymore. No

172
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: shouted the queen as she watched the three friends jump

173
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: through the door and back into the real world. Alice

174
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: turned around before the door closed and saw the three

175
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: gingerbread men pop their heads out of the long liquorice,

176
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: grass and rave. Alice smiled back and waved with great appreciation.

177
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: As the door swung closed, it disappeared, and Alice, Levi,

178
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: and Ivy found themselves sitting in the middle of a

179
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: big field, right back at the summer camp. They sat

180
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: there for a while, still in quiet.

181
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: Was that a dream, asked Alice, Dream or not?

182
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: I don't think we'll ever forget it, said Levi and Ivy.

183
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: And that, my friends, is why we don't want to

184
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: eat that candy, said Levi. It just seems like maybe

185
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: it could happen to us, said Ivy.

186
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: I mean our names were in the story.

187
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: Casey, Harry, and Troy didn't know what to think, but

188
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: they loved the story. They told Levi and Ivy they

189
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: should tell it again at the next campfire. Yeah, that

190
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: sounds like a good idea, said a voice from behind them.

191
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: It was two of their camp counselors.

192
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: Okay u five, Time to get back to your bunks,

193
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: said one of the counselors. If you get back there

194
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: right now. We won't tell anyone that you have all

195
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: this candy. Wow, thanks, said Harry Casey, Troy Levi and Ivy.

196
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: As they got up and gathered their candy, Levi said,

197
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: one fire final thing.

198
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: They never found out where Alice ended up.

199
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: Next, but we know that she will always find a

200
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: way to get back home. As Levi and Ivy walked

201
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: out of the mess hall, Levi turned to his counselor

202
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: and said, Hey, who is that woman filling the vending machines?

203
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: She looks really familiar.

204
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I know her somehow, added Ivy.

205
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: Oh her, answered the counselor.

206
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: That's Alice.

207
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: She just started here this summer. Levi and Ivy couldn't

208
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: believe their ears. They turned around to see if she

209
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: was still there, but all they saw was the door

210
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: swinging as she left, and on the mess hall table

211
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: where they'd.

212
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Been sitting was a single dream bar. You don't think

213
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: that was started, Levi?

214
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, said Ivy, But then again.

215
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: Anything is possible. Did you learn a lesson from this story?

216
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: Hey? Yu?

217
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: What what? And parents? Do your kids have a story idea?

218
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: Leave a comment on our Apple podcast review page with

220
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: chance to join Levi and Ivy on their next adventure.

221
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,880
