1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories. Buckle up because you're about

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: to join Levi and Ivy on an adventure. All you

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: need is your imagination, and off we go. Revey rarest Stories.

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: It was raining outside and the four cousins were bored.

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Grandma Sherry was in the kitchen making lunch, and the

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: kids felt cooped up and restless. They needed an adventure.

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Maybe we can play a board game, Ivy suggested, We've

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: already played all the games. Stella answered. She twirled her

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: hair and her fingers, trying to think of something fun

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: to do. Hey, guys, we could play hide and seek,

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: Levi said excitedly. Yeah. Jameson exclaimed, that's a great idea.

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: At once, the kids ran through the house, hiding in

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: every spot they could think of. They took turns finding

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: each other until no one could find Levi. The kids

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: checked his favorite places, such as the bath, the pantry,

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: and behind the couch, but still no Levi could be found.

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he's in the closet under the stairs, Jameson said.

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: The closet under the stairs, Ivy said, with wide eyes,

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: No one ever hides in there. It was true the

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: children had never explored the closet under the stairs. After all,

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: it was where Grandma Sherry kept all the winter coats,

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: rain boots, umbrellas, and everyone knew that. But the kids

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: were out of options, so they ran to the closet

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: door and opened it. Ever so slowly. Went to the

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: closet door, the kids peered inside. It was so dark.

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Levi Ivy called, but there was no answer. Come out,

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Come out wherever you are, Stella saying, but it was

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: all quiet. Wait, Jameson whispered, I hear something. I know

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: he's in there. Let's go with that. Jamison ran into

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: the closet and the girls followed close behind. Never did

31
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: they expect what they were about to find through the

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: dark closet. They walked past the rain boots, the umbrellas,

33
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: and the winter coats, until they suddenly found themselves standing

34
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: in the middle of a forest with tall trees all around.

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: Where are we, muttered Ivy, holding onto Stella's hand. It's

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: a magical force, whispered Stella, looking at the giant rainbow overhead.

37
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Cool Jamison shouted as his voice echoed in the distance.

38
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Just then, Levi darted out from behind a tree and

39
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: scared them. Boo. He yelled, as the three of them

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: jumped at least a foot in the air. There you are,

41
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Jamison said, laughing. He ran to give Levi a high five.

42
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: We were worried about you, Ah, No need to worry

43
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: about me. I'm just exploring this awesome place, Levi said.

44
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Can you believe Grandma Sherry's closet is actually a magic

45
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: adventurer's portal? Who knew? The other shouted? Ivy looked around

46
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: in awe. What should we explore first? Just then, something

47
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: moved in the shrubs, and Ivy jumped behind her big brother.

48
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: The kids watched in amazement as a rabbit jumped out

49
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: and greeted them with a friendly hello you dog. Jameson asked,

50
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: in surprise, of course I talk. The rabbit answered, how

51
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: else would I communicate? The children giggled and started peppering

52
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: the rabbit with all kinds of questions. What is this place?

53
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Sella asked? Do all the animals that live here talk?

54
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Jameson asked what fun things are there to do? Levi asked,

55
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: slow down. The friendly rabbit said, I'll answer your questions

56
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: one by one. First, this is a magical land of enchantment. Second, yes,

57
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: all the animals can talk, how else would we communicate?

58
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: And third, there are lots of fun things to do here.

59
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Follow me with that. The rabbit hopped away, with each

60
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: of his hops sending him at least six feet in

61
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: the air. Boy, could that rabbit bounce? The children followed

62
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: as best as they could, even trying to jump as

63
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: high as their new friend. They came to a large

64
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: cave and stopped. That's when the rabbit shouted hello. His

65
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: voice echoed back at them. He motioned for the kids

66
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: to give it a try. Hello, The kids called, using

67
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: their hands as megaphones. Their voices echoed back as well,

68
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: you do know how an echo works, don't you? The

69
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: rabbit asked, Well, I think, stammered Jamison, trying to remember

70
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: what he had learned at school, simply put said the

71
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: wise rabbit. An echo is a sound wave that bounces

72
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: off a hard surface and is repeated back to you.

73
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jameson remembered. They took turns yelling into the

74
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: cave and making funny noises. Finally, the rabbit said, oh,

75
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: will I guess he isn't home? Who isn't home? Ivy asked,

76
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: before she finished her sentence. A giant bear came lumbering

77
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: out of his deep cave. He's been taking a nap.

78
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Stella and Ivy hid behind their brothers. They've never seen

79
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: a bear of that size. Wo hello there, the bear said, yawning.

80
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: Who do we have here? He asked? These are visitors

81
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: from another dimension. The rabbit said, matter of factly, they're

82
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: looking to have fun? Who, said the bear excitedly. I

83
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: love fun. Here, Lie, I'm on my back and let's go.

84
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: Levi and Jameson helped the girls climb on first, then

85
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: they jumped on for the ride. The rabbit hopped alongside them,

86
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: each bounce bringing them up to the kid's eye level.

87
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: Although the bear wasn't as fast as the rabbit, he

88
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: sure could move. He took them through the forest to

89
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: a huge waterfall. Wow, the kids said in unison, gazing

90
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: up at the cascading water. Just wait, said the bear,

91
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: starting the steep climb up the side of the mountain.

92
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Where are we going, the kids shouted, hanging on for

93
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: dear life. In no time at all, the bear reached

94
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: the top of the bluff and took them to a

95
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: magic place behind the waterfall. This is so cool, Stella shouted,

96
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: as the avalanche of water descended in front of them. Look, look, look, look, look,

97
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: it's up horrainbow, Ivy explained. Sure enough, the skylight reflected

98
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: off the water droplets and formed an dazzling rainbow that

99
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: encircled the cousins. They could almost reach out and touch it. Next,

100
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the bear took them down the mountain to introduce the

101
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: kids to more animal friends. In fact, there was a

102
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: big party right in the middle of the forest. There

103
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: were monkeys and elephants and giraffes talking and playing and

104
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: having a fun time. The children were greeted happily and

105
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: included in all the party games. Levi wrote an elephant.

106
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: Jamison tried the rope swing. Ivy and Stella slid down

107
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: the neck of the tallest giraffe they'd ever seen. But

108
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: soon it started getting dark, and Levi said, hey, uh, guys,

109
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: we better get back, it's getting late. Oh but uh,

110
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: but which way is home? Jameson asked, starting to worry. Yeah,

111
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: which way do we go? They asked the animals for direction,

112
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: but none of them could remember the exact place from

113
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: which the children had come. Then the wise rabbit had

114
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: an idea, if we follow bear's footprints, maybe they will

115
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: lead us back to the right spot. Quickly, the kids

116
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: climbed onto the bear's back once again. He followed his

117
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: own footsteps through the forest, up the mountain behind the waterfall,

118
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: and back down again. At his cave, he set the

119
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: children gently on the ground and said, this is where

120
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: I say goodbye. I'm rather tired, you see. The kids

121
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: gave him a big, fair hug you know, get it,

122
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: then turned to the rabbit. Now where scratching his chin,

123
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: the rabbit said, hmm, I think it's that way. At

124
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: once he began hopping away. As the children ran to

125
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: keep up. They came to a clearium with three trees,

126
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: all in a row. The trees had doors in them. Well,

127
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: which door did we come through? Leeby ass, I don't know,

128
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Jameson answered, feeling puzzled. Are we stuck here, the girls

129
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: asked in alarm. No, no, no, said the rabbit hastily.

130
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: No one is stuck anywhere. I'll tell you which door

131
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: to go through, but first you must guess the answer

132
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: to a riddle. A riddle, Jameson exclaimed, I love riddles, good,

133
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: said the rabbit. Now listen carefully. The place you went

134
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: to have some fun is the place where the water

135
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: reflected the sun. This is the clue for which door

136
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: to choose. If you think carefully, you cannot be clue.

137
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: The kids huddled together and repeated the riddle. The place

138
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: where the water reflected the sun was behind the waterfall.

139
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: But what did that have to do with which door

140
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: to choose? They thought? And they thought suddenly Levi shouted,

141
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: it's door number two, because the waterfall was the second

142
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: place we went. I thought about and said, you're right, Levi.

143
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: First we went to the cave and made echoing sounds.

144
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Next we went to the waterfall. It is door number two.

145
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: When they figured it out, the rabbit smiled and nodded

146
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: in approval. The children said goodbye to their new friend

147
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: and ran to the middle tree. Opening the door, they

148
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: ran inside. In an instant, they found themselves tumbling out

149
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: of the closet underneath the staircase. Oh why, Grandma Sherry said,

150
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: coming around the corner, you scared me. What have you

151
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: kids been up to. The four cousins looked at each

152
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: other and smiled, Oh, Grandma, we can't wait to tell

153
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: you all about it at lunch. And what an adventure

154
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:40,360
