WEBVTT - 9. Levi Can Read Minds!

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories.

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Buckle up because you're about to join Levi and Ivy

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 2>on an adventure.

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>All you need is your imagination an off.

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 3>We go, Ready, Larius Stories. It was the day after

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 3>Halloween and Levi's candy bag was overflowing.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 2>He had asked his mom and dad if he could

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.920
<v Speaker 2>have a piece of candy after lunch, and they said, okay,

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 2>but just one. Levi, finding a candy loophole in their answer,

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>decided if he could only have one piece of candy,

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 2>it would be the biggest one he could find. After

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>looking through his candy bag, he found the king size

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 2>chocolate bar that he had gotten from his neighbor.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 3>It was almost the length of his arm. He slowly unwrapped.

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 2>The chocolate and ate it bit by bit, and after

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>eating so much delicious chocolate, he was bouncing off the

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>walls with energy.

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Hey Ivy, Hey Ivy, Hey Ivy, Levi yelled over and

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 3>over and over as he ran around the living room.

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Look at me, I can't fly, Levi.

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's a good idea, replied Ivy as

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>she watched her brother climb up on the back of

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the couch.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 3>No it's fine, said Levi.

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>His parents had stepped outside to start putting the Halloween

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>decorations away in the garage, so there was no one

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 2>there to really stop him.

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Levi stood on the couch.

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Spread his arms like they were wings, and leaped into

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>the air. Levi no yelled Ivy, but it was too late.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 3>Levi was mid air and headed right for the wall.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Bumped his head on his way down to the floor,

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and sat there quiet for a second. LEVI, do you

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 2>need me to go get mom and dad, Ivy asked, no,

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm okay. I just bumped my head. I'll be fine,

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Levi replied. Ivy turned around and went back to playing

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 2>with her toys.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I knew you were going to get hurt, she thought

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 3>to herself. What'd you say? Levi said nothing.

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking that I knew you were going

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to get hurt, said Ivy. You never listened to me.

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>But I'm glad you're okay. She thought that, Levi asked himself.

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>But I'm sure I heard her say it. He didn't

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 2>think too much of it and went to his room

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 2>to lay down for a bit. The sugar rush was

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>wearing off and he was getting a bit tired. After

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>a little while, Ivy ran in to get him for

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>their weekly go fish tournament with mom and dad. Levi

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>sat down at the dining room table and picked up

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 2>his cards. Then he heard his mom say, oh great,

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I have three sea horses and two sea turtles. They're

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>so cute.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Mom, you shouldn't tell.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Everyone what kind of cards you have, Levi said, with

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>a giggle. I didn't say anything, Levi. I was just

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>thinking how cute the little characters on the cards are.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Mom replied what Levi thought to himself. She was just

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>thinking that, not saying that out loud. But how did

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I hear her? H I have such a bad bunch

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 2>of cards, said Dad.

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 3>No matches at all.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, you don't have any matches, Dad said LEVI. What

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>how did you know I don't have any matches? His

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>dad asked, looking a bit confused. Just a lucky guess,

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>said Levi, finally realizing what was going on.

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 3>I can read mine, he thought to himself with a

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 3>huge smile.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I bet I got this cool superpower when I bumped

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>my head trying to fly off the couch. This could

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 2>be fun, and I think I'll see how well it

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>works during this card game. Once the card game started,

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Levi listened closely to what everyone at the table was thinking.

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>He was going to know what cards they had and

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 2>make the right choices to win every game and be

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>this week's go Fish champion.

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Wow, Levi, you did so well go Fish this week,

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 3>said his mom. Yeah, it was like you could see

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 3>the cards that we had, said Ivy. You weren't cheating,

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 3>were you?

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 3>Uh no? Hey, how about we play.

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh rock paper scissors? Levi suggested, trying to change the subject.

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>His family agreed, and Levi beat every one of them

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 2>just by listening to them think about which they would

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>throw next, rock.

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Paper or scissors.

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>You're on a winning streak tonight, said Levi's dad with

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:39.559
<v Speaker 2>a laugh.

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 3>No more games for you.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Well that was really fun, thought Levi as he and

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Ivy headed off to get ready for bed. Levi was

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>walking past his parents' room when he heard his mom say,

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I need to grab the toothpaste that I bought today.

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>It's in the kitchen and there's none left in the bathroom. Well,

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>at least Levi thought she said that she was in

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 2>fact just thinking, but either way, Levi heard it and

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 2>went to get the toothpaste. Hey, mom, I grabbed the

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>toothpaste from the kitchen. I'm gonna brush my teeth now,

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Levi said, Wow, thank you so much, Levi. You must

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>have read my mind. His mom jokingly replied, me read

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>your mind? What are you talking about, Levi said, sounding

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>very nervous. It's just a saying people use when they're

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>thinking something and then someone else happens.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>To do that thing. I don't think you can really

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 3>read my mind, honey, said his mom. Yeah, that's right.

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I uh, I can't read your mind, Levi said, feeling relieved. Oh.

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>He thought if his mom knew he could read mind,

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>that she'd make him go to the doctor. He went

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>to bed that night, not totally sure if his special

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 2>superpowers would still be there when he woke up. Either way,

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>it was fun while it lasted. When Levi I woke

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 2>up the next morning, he walked into Ivy's room. She

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 2>was looking out the window. I wish my friends could

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>play today. I really miss seeing them, Ivy thought to herself.

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Leeve I heard this and knew right away that he

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>could still read mine. He knew Ivy hadn't said that

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>out loud. He felt bad for a sister, but saw

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>this as a chance to make her feel better. He

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>ran into her room and told some silly jokes to

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 2>make her laugh. I like that I can read minds, Levi,

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought to himself, and not just because I can

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 2>win card games.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 3>But because I can help people too.

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>The day went on, and Levi wanted to see what

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 2>other fun things he could do because he could read minds.

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>He went for a walk in his neighborhood and saw

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people he knew. He listened carefully to

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>hear if anyone was thinking anything that he could help with,

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and boy, did he hear a lot. His next door

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 2>neighbor was looking around her yard for a bracelet she

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>had lost ball gardening. Levi I heard her wishing she

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 2>could find it, so he stopped to help her look.

0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 3>When she found it, she was so thankful for his help.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 2>A little further down the road, his friend was looking

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>a bit down, but wouldn't tell Levi what was wrong.

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Levi listened carefully and hurt his friend, thinking how he

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>wished he had a nicer baseball mit. Leeve I remembered

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 2>he had two at home, so he ran back to

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 2>get one and share it with his friend. His friend

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>couldn't have been happier. The seam scenario happened again with

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the man who ran the ice cream shop, the old

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>woman that lived across the street from Levi, and one

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>of Ivy's friends. Levi kept hearing their thoughts about them

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 2>needing help with something or wanting something that they didn't have.

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 3>He wanted to help everyone, but it was getting exhausted.

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>He decided to go home and play in his room

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>for a while, alone with just his thoughts. As he

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>was playing and enjoying the quiet, he heard his dad

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>laugh and he heard him say, what does a Jack o'

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 2>lantern wear on its face? A pump grin?

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Dad, that's a a bad joke, Levi called out from

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 3>his room. What joke? Said his dad standing in Levi's doorway.

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking of my favorite jokes from that

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Halloween Joke book I bought you and Ivy last week.

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 3>They're so funny.

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, Levi I thought to himself. I can hear

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 2>all of Dad's bad jokes. He thinks about dad jokes

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>all the time. This has got to stop.

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Levi.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't liking his new superpower anymore. He just wanted

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 2>to go back to being plain old Levi who can't

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.959
<v Speaker 2>read people's minds. He knew he had to tell his parents.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Even if they made him go to the doctor, he

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>knew they could help.

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Levi, calm down.

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 2>You say you can read people's thoughts, asked his mom.

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 3>You mean you can hear what I'm thinking, said his dad.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>That's so cool. Okay, what number am I thinking of?

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Nine?

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Said Levi. That's right, exclaimed his dad.

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>And now three thousand, four hundred and fifty nine, Levi said,

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>with a frown. Wow, his dad said, that's right. I'm

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>glad you're entertained, but I'm not anymore. Please help me

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 2>stop this, Levi said. Well, if you got the superpower

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 2>from eating a bunch of chocolate and trying to fly

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 2>off the couch, maybe you should just do that again,

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>said his dad. Levi's mom looked a little nervous because

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>she didn't want Levi to get hurt, but she thought

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 2>it was as good a plan as she could think of,

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>so they'd give it a try. Except this time, he

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 2>seemed to fly for a bit, to everyone's amazement, and

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>landed swiftly on his feet. Quick, tell me one number

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking of asked Levi's dad. Hmm, seventeen, levi I

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 2>said in an unsure voice. Nope, it was ninety eight,

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and twenty. His dad said, excitedly, you're back.

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Levi was so excited and gave his mom and dad

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I had a big hug. The only thing I'll miss,

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>said Levi with a smile is winning to go fish,

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 2>laughed his mom. No, being able to know how you're

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 2>all feeling so I can help out more.

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 3>Levi said.

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 2>That's so sweet, replied his mom. But I'm just glad

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 2>my little Levi is back to normal. Me too, Levi said,

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>as he gave his mom a big hug. Hey, how

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 2>did you know I wanted a big hug from you?

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Asked his mom. Hi read your mind, Levi said, with

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 3>a smile. Did you learn a lesson from this story? Hey?
