It's just peace and quiet, perfect 36 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: for storytime. So what are we waiting for? Let's dive 37 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: into today's tale called MIA's Secret Garden Part one. It 38 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: teaches us that every action, no matter how big or small, 39 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: has the power to create ripples that affect everyone around us. 40 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: Are you ready to listen? I sure am, all right, 41 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: Let's do it. 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 5: Mia was a gregarious young girl, bursting with ideas in imagination. 43 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 5: From the very beginning. She had a treasure trobe of 44 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 5: thoughts swirling in her head, yet she often struggled to 45 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 5: express them. One day in school, the teacher asked the 46 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 5: class who would like to paraphrase the chapter we had 47 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 5: just read about evolution. Nobody raised their hand. Mia was 48 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 5: very confident she knew how evolution worked so before she 49 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 5: even thought about it, nobody Mia raised her hand. Ah, Mia, 50 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 5: enlighten us. 51 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's just like if you're like a deer 52 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: or a gazelle and a scary line is running after you, 53 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: and all the other deer are running too, and like 54 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: there are a small deer in the back that are 55 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: slower or older, but like there are some who are 56 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: your same age and they cannot run you either. And 57 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: then you get to live, and then you have kids 58 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: who are fast like you, and then have to outrun 59 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: other kids, and the lines keep getting faster because they 60 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: have to outrun the other lines too to eat. So 61 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: the ones that are fastest keep living and having kids 62 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: who are faster. 63 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 5: And Mia realized that everyone was staring at her, and 64 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 5: she immediately got really hot and really sweaty. She felt 65 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 5: her cheeks getting really red and thought to herself. 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: This isn't going well. Yeah, so that's like evolution. 67 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 5: Everyone was quiet for a second, then they all started laughing. 68 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 5: Mia couldn't figure out why they were all laughing. 69 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, why did you raise your hand? 70 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 5: She knew that she knew what evolution was, but she 71 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 5: thought she did a poor job at explaining it, so 72 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 5: she chalked it up to not being good at articulating 73 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 5: her thoughts. After that day, she learned to keep her 74 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 5: vibrant thoughts locked away, hidden from the world. Mia would 75 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 5: often hear her parents trying to figure out everyday problems. 76 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 5: She would have great ideas on how to solve them, 77 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 5: but she was so used to keeping them locked behind 78 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 5: the door of her mouth that it was just first 79 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 5: nature to have a great idea on how to help 80 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 5: but never speak up about it. MIA's grandma lived right 81 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 5: next door, so every day she would stop by after 82 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 5: school for a chocolate caramel candy called a reason. It 83 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 5: was her reason for stopping by every day. Mia had 84 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 5: no problem opening up to her grandma. Her grandma was 85 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 5: a wise, graceful woman who was always full of love. 86 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 5: Her grandma never tried to fix her problems, nor did 87 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 5: she tell her what she thinks she should do. She 88 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 5: just listened and said. 89 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: You'll figure it out, honey. Have you tried clearing your 90 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: thoughts in the garden? 91 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 5: Mia looked out her grandma's back window to the garden 92 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 5: that was surrounded by overgrown sunflower plants. 93 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: Oh, Grandma, you always talk about walks in that garden. 94 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: I think that's for old people. Plus I get lost 95 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: in there. You sure would, honey, you sure would. Oh well, 96 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: one day when you're old like me, you'll understand someone 97 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: will have to take care of my little munchkins when 98 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm gone. What did you say, Grandma, Oh nothing, dear, 99 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: just thinking out loud again. 100 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: Well, I better get home for supper. I love you 101 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: so so. 102 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: Much, Grandma. I love you too, my beautiful girl, Mia. 103 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: Don't you forget how impactful you are. Thanks, Grandma, see 104 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: you tomorrow. 105 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 5: Mia had no idea, but that was the last time 106 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 5: she ever got to speak to her grandma. Her grandma 107 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 5: went to sleep that night and never woke up. Her 108 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 5: grandma had lived a beautiful life and she was ready 109 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 5: to be reunited with her husband, MIA's grandpa in heaven. 110 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 5: But Mia wasn't ready for this unfortunate news. When Mia 111 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 5: found out the next day, she didn't speak to anyone 112 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 5: for the next few days. She just couldn't find the 113 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 5: words to express what she was feeling, so she did 114 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 5: what she always did and held them in. Yet there 115 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 5: was one special someone she could open up to other 116 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 5: than her grandma. Alone in her room, Mia would talk 117 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 5: to mister Figgs. Mister Figgs had been her constant companion 118 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 5: since childhood, a gift from her mom during one of 119 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 5: MIA's many hospital stays for asthma. Her mom always made 120 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 5: those sterile rooms feel so cozy, and it was there 121 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 5: that Mia first tried a fig Newton. An instant favorite, 122 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 5: the bear quickly became a symbol of comfort, especially on 123 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 5: nights when Mia had to stay at the hospital. With 124 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 5: mister Figgs by her side, she felt safe enough to 125 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 5: share her thoughts and fears. 126 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: I just don't know how to express what I'm feeling. 127 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm so happy that Grandma gets to be reunited with Grandpa. 128 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: But I didn't get to say goodbye. I didn't get 129 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: to tell her how influential she's been in my life, 130 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: how she taught me so much just by being herself. 131 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: She taught me kindness, She taught me how to regulate 132 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: my emotions. 133 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: She was always there for me. It never needed anything 134 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: from me. She was the most perfect grandma girl could 135 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: ever ask for. 136 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 5: Mia wept while she held mister fig tight in her 137 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 5: arms that night, but not for long, because before she 138 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 5: knew it, she was fast asleep. That night, she had 139 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 5: a dream that her Grandma's garden gnome woke her up 140 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 5: in her bed. 141 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: Miss Mia, Miss Mia, come quick the garden meet you. 142 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: Mia wasn't sure what to do, but the gnome hopped 143 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 5: off of her bed ran out of her room. Mia 144 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 5: was groggy and her dream and her eyes were a 145 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 5: bit foggy, but she got out of bed, put her 146 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 5: pink fuzzy bunny slippers on, and walked out of her room. 147 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 5: She spotted the gnome at the end of the hall, 148 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 5: just before the stairs that led to the front door. 149 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 5: Come miss Mia quickly. The gnome disappeared again down the stairs. 150 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 5: Mia ran to the end of the hall and peered 151 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 5: down the stairs, just in time to see the gnome 152 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 5: slip through the crack of the front door that was 153 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 5: left ajar. Mia started to take a step downstairs when 154 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 5: she heard her mother's voice. Mia Mia froze, glancing around 155 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 5: to find mother peering out from her bedroom at the 156 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 5: opposite end of the hall. She stared at her mom, 157 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 5: caught in a moment of indecision. Should she respond or 158 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 5: dash after the nome. Mia Mia was frozen like a 159 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 5: video game. That's glitching. 160 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: Mia, mea, Mia, It's time to wake up. 161 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 5: Mia slipped further and further out of her dream until 162 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 5: she opened her eyes and saw her mom sitting on 163 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 5: the edge of her bed, smiling at her, rubbing her arm. 164 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: That looked like some sleep you were in. 165 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: Oh Mom, I was just getting to the good part. 166 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: A Nome was telling me that I needed to help him, 167 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: and he ran out of my room. I was following 168 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: him to the front door, but you stopped me when 169 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: you woke me up. Oh darn, I'm sorry, Mimi. Hopefully 170 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: he'll come back to you tonight and you can follow 171 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: him to nome Land. But right now you have to 172 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: get up and get ready for school. 173 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 5: In the days that followed, Mia found herself lost in 174 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 5: a tw web of emotions. Her heart ached with sadness 175 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 5: for the loss of her grandma, yet it swelled with 176 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 5: gratitude for the rich life her grandma had lived and 177 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 5: the precious moments they shared. She also could not stop 178 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 5: thinking about the Gnome. One day after school, as she 179 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: was doing her homework, she dazed off. She was thinking 180 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 5: about the Gnome and his urgency for me to help him. 181 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 5: It just felt so real. Who can she tell about this? 182 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 5: Just then she remembered her grandma's words, have. 183 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: You tried clearing your thoughts in the garden. That's it, 184 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: I need to go to the garden. 185 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 5: Mio walked downstairs and told her mom and dad. 186 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to go for a walk to clear my head. 187 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 5: She started walking out the door when her dad said, Honey, 188 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 5: you know you can always talk to your mom and I. 189 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 5: It's very hard for us not to be able to help, 190 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 5: but you can always tell us. Hey, I just need 191 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 5: an ear and we'll get the point. 192 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: Thanks Dad, Thanks Mom, love you, I love you, Mimi. 193 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 2: Be back for dinner please. 194 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 5: She walked down the street to her grandma's house. Seeing 195 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 5: her grandma's house, Mia was struck with the sad realization 196 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 5: that she couldn't just walk in and see her. She 197 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 5: walked around to the back where her grandmother's large garden lay. 198 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 5: Tall sunflower plants surrounded it, swaying gently in the breeze. 199 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 5: As she took in her surroundings, she spotted the gnome 200 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 5: from her dreams standing statuesque right outside her grandma's garden. 201 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 5: Mia glanced around the yard to see if there were 202 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 5: any other nomes, but found none. When she looked back 203 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,359 Speaker 5: at the garden, the gnome had vanished. 204 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: That's odd, I could have swore there was a noome 205 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: right there, Mia, you're seeing things. 206 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 5: Mia looked around to see if maybe she saw it 207 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 5: somewhere else, but didn't spot a single gnome around the yard. 208 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 5: She walked towards the giant sunflower plants. They're tall, all 209 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 5: leafy stems reaching high into the sky. The sunflowers seemed 210 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 5: to form a little fortress, their bright faces all turned 211 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 5: towards the sun. How did Grandma fit through here? And 212 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 5: how is walking through these giant plants?
