1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Buckle up because you're about to join Levi and Ivy

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: on an adventure.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: All you need is your imagination an off.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: We go, Ready, Larius Stories. It was the day after

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 3: Halloween and Levi's candy bag was overflowing.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: He had asked his mom and dad if he could

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: have a piece of candy after lunch, and they said, okay,

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: but just one. Levi, finding a candy loophole in their answer,

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: decided if he could only have one piece of candy,

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: it would be the biggest one he could find. After

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: looking through his candy bag, he found the king size

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: chocolate bar that he had gotten from his neighbor.

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: It was almost the length of his arm. He slowly unwrapped.

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: The chocolate and ate it bit by bit, and after

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: eating so much delicious chocolate, he was bouncing off the

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: walls with energy.

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: Hey Ivy, Hey Ivy, Hey Ivy, Levi yelled over and

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: over and over as he ran around the living room.

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: Look at me, I can't fly, Levi.

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a good idea, replied Ivy as

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: she watched her brother climb up on the back of

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: the couch.

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: No it's fine, said Levi.

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: His parents had stepped outside to start putting the Halloween

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: decorations away in the garage, so there was no one

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: there to really stop him.

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: Levi stood on the couch.

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: Spread his arms like they were wings, and leaped into

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: the air. Levi no yelled Ivy, but it was too late.

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: Levi was mid air and headed right for the wall.

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: Bumped his head on his way down to the floor,

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: and sat there quiet for a second. LEVI, do you

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: need me to go get mom and dad, Ivy asked, no,

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: I'm I'm okay. I just bumped my head. I'll be fine,

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Levi replied. Ivy turned around and went back to playing

37
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: with her toys.

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: I knew you were going to get hurt, she thought

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: to herself. What'd you say? Levi said nothing.

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: I was just thinking that I knew you were going

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: to get hurt, said Ivy. You never listened to me.

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: But I'm glad you're okay. She thought that, Levi asked himself.

43
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: But I'm sure I heard her say it. He didn't

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: think too much of it and went to his room

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: to lay down for a bit. The sugar rush was

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: wearing off and he was getting a bit tired. After

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: a little while, Ivy ran in to get him for

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: their weekly go fish tournament with mom and dad. Levi

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: sat down at the dining room table and picked up

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: his cards. Then he heard his mom say, oh great,

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: I have three sea horses and two sea turtles. They're

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: so cute.

53
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: Mom, you shouldn't tell.

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: Everyone what kind of cards you have, Levi said, with

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: a giggle. I didn't say anything, Levi. I was just

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: thinking how cute the little characters on the cards are.

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: Mom replied what Levi thought to himself. She was just

58
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: thinking that, not saying that out loud. But how did

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: I hear her? H I have such a bad bunch

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: of cards, said Dad.

61
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: No matches at all.

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: Sorry, you don't have any matches, Dad said LEVI. What

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: how did you know I don't have any matches? His

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: dad asked, looking a bit confused. Just a lucky guess,

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: said Levi, finally realizing what was going on.

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: I can read mine, he thought to himself with a

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: huge smile.

68
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: I bet I got this cool superpower when I bumped

69
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: my head trying to fly off the couch. This could

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: be fun, and I think I'll see how well it

71
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: works during this card game. Once the card game started,

72
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: Levi listened closely to what everyone at the table was thinking.

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: He was going to know what cards they had and

74
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: make the right choices to win every game and be

75
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: this week's go Fish champion.

76
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: Wow, Levi, you did so well go Fish this week,

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: said his mom. Yeah, it was like you could see

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: the cards that we had, said Ivy. You weren't cheating,

79
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: were you?

80
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Uh?

81
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: Uh no? Hey, how about we play.

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: Uh rock paper scissors? Levi suggested, trying to change the subject.

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: His family agreed, and Levi beat every one of them

84
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: just by listening to them think about which they would

85
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: throw next, rock.

86
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: Paper or scissors.

87
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: You're on a winning streak tonight, said Levi's dad with

88
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 2: a laugh.

89
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: No more games for you.

90
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: Well that was really fun, thought Levi as he and

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: Ivy headed off to get ready for bed. Levi was

92
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: walking past his parents' room when he heard his mom say,

93
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: I need to grab the toothpaste that I bought today.

94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: It's in the kitchen and there's none left in the bathroom. Well,

95
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: at least Levi thought she said that she was in

96
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: fact just thinking, but either way, Levi heard it and

97
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: went to get the toothpaste. Hey, mom, I grabbed the

98
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: toothpaste from the kitchen. I'm gonna brush my teeth now,

99
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: Levi said, Wow, thank you so much, Levi. You must

100
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: have read my mind. His mom jokingly replied, me read

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: your mind? What are you talking about, Levi said, sounding

102
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: very nervous. It's just a saying people use when they're

103
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: thinking something and then someone else happens.

104
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: To do that thing. I don't think you can really

105
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: read my mind, honey, said his mom. Yeah, that's right.

106
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: I uh, I can't read your mind, Levi said, feeling relieved. Oh.

107
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: He thought if his mom knew he could read mind,

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: that she'd make him go to the doctor. He went

109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: to bed that night, not totally sure if his special

110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: superpowers would still be there when he woke up. Either way,

111
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: it was fun while it lasted. When Levi I woke

112
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: up the next morning, he walked into Ivy's room. She

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: was looking out the window. I wish my friends could

114
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: play today. I really miss seeing them, Ivy thought to herself.

115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: Leeve I heard this and knew right away that he

116
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: could still read mine. He knew Ivy hadn't said that

117
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: out loud. He felt bad for a sister, but saw

118
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: this as a chance to make her feel better. He

119
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: ran into her room and told some silly jokes to

120
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: make her laugh. I like that I can read minds, Levi,

121
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: I thought to himself, and not just because I can

122
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 2: win card games.

123
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: But because I can help people too.

124
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: The day went on, and Levi wanted to see what

125
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: other fun things he could do because he could read minds.

126
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: He went for a walk in his neighborhood and saw

127
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: a lot of people he knew. He listened carefully to

128
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: hear if anyone was thinking anything that he could help with,

129
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: and boy, did he hear a lot. His next door

130
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: neighbor was looking around her yard for a bracelet she

131
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: had lost ball gardening. Levi I heard her wishing she

132
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: could find it, so he stopped to help her look.

133
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: When she found it, she was so thankful for his help.

134
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: A little further down the road, his friend was looking

135
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: a bit down, but wouldn't tell Levi what was wrong.

136
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: Levi listened carefully and hurt his friend, thinking how he

137
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: wished he had a nicer baseball mit. Leeve I remembered

138
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: he had two at home, so he ran back to

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: get one and share it with his friend. His friend

140
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: couldn't have been happier. The seam scenario happened again with

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: the man who ran the ice cream shop, the old

142
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: woman that lived across the street from Levi, and one

143
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: of Ivy's friends. Levi kept hearing their thoughts about them

144
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: needing help with something or wanting something that they didn't have.

145
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: He wanted to help everyone, but it was getting exhausted.

146
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: He decided to go home and play in his room

147
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: for a while, alone with just his thoughts. As he

148
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: was playing and enjoying the quiet, he heard his dad

149
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: laugh and he heard him say, what does a Jack o'

150
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: lantern wear on its face? A pump grin?

151
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: Dad, that's a a bad joke, Levi called out from

152
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: his room. What joke? Said his dad standing in Levi's doorway.

153
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: I was just thinking of my favorite jokes from that

154
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: Halloween Joke book I bought you and Ivy last week.

155
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: They're so funny.

156
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, Levi I thought to himself. I can hear

157
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: all of Dad's bad jokes. He thinks about dad jokes

158
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: all the time. This has got to stop.

159
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: Levi.

160
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: I wasn't liking his new superpower anymore. He just wanted

161
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: to go back to being plain old Levi who can't

162
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: read people's minds. He knew he had to tell his parents.

163
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: Even if they made him go to the doctor, he

164
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: knew they could help.

165
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: Okay, Levi, calm down.

166
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: You say you can read people's thoughts, asked his mom.

167
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: You mean you can hear what I'm thinking, said his dad.

168
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: That's so cool. Okay, what number am I thinking of?

169
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: Nine?

170
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: Said Levi. That's right, exclaimed his dad.

171
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: And now three thousand, four hundred and fifty nine, Levi said,

172
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: with a frown. Wow, his dad said, that's right. I'm

173
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: glad you're entertained, but I'm not anymore. Please help me

174
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: stop this, Levi said. Well, if you got the superpower

175
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: from eating a bunch of chocolate and trying to fly

176
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: off the couch, maybe you should just do that again,

177
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: said his dad. Levi's mom looked a little nervous because

178
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: she didn't want Levi to get hurt, but she thought

179
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: it was as good a plan as she could think of,

180
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: so they'd give it a try. Except this time, he

181
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: seemed to fly for a bit, to everyone's amazement, and

182
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: landed swiftly on his feet. Quick, tell me one number

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of asked Levi's dad. Hmm, seventeen, levi I

184
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: said in an unsure voice. Nope, it was ninety eight,

185
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty. His dad said, excitedly, you're back.

186
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: Levi was so excited and gave his mom and dad

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: I had a big hug. The only thing I'll miss,

188
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: said Levi with a smile is winning to go fish,

189
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: laughed his mom. No, being able to know how you're

190
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: all feeling so I can help out more.

191
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 3: Levi said.

192
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: That's so sweet, replied his mom. But I'm just glad

193
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: my little Levi is back to normal. Me too, Levi said,

194
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: as he gave his mom a big hug. Hey, how

195
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: did you know I wanted a big hug from you?

196
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: Asked his mom. Hi read your mind, Levi said, with

197
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: a smile. Did you learn a lesson from this story? Hey?

198
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: Fel what was it? And?

199
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Parents, do your kids have a story idea?

200
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,000
