Let's go. One day, 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: Ellianna was sitting in her room reading about how to fly. 18 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: She was a baby unicorn and hadn't learned how to 19 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: fly yet, but she was reading as much as she could, 20 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: trying to get it perfectly right. All right, so if 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: I flap my wings like this, and I hold my 22 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: tail like that, and then maybe this will happen and 23 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: it'll never work. You see, Ellianna was a unicorn, and 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: unicorns just can't fly, right, Yeah, well they have to 25 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: learn how to fly, and she hadn't learned yet. But 26 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: something that she was really focused on. She was really 27 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: focused on learning to do it perfectly and not make 28 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: any mistakes. But do you know something very interesting, She 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: hadn't even tried yet. She was trying to learn in 30 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: her head how to do it perfectly, so that the 31 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: first time that she tried, she would do it right. 32 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: But she hadn't tried yet. But don't worry. By the 33 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: end of the story, something amazing is going to happen. 34 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: All right, this is not working. I need to talk 35 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: to an expert. I need to find someone who can 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: teach me the perfect way to fly the very first time, 37 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: because there's no way I'm making any mistakes with this, 38 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: said Elianna. She put on her shoes and oh, she walked. Remember, 39 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: most unicorns can fly, but Eliana, she had to walk. 40 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: So she walked up a mountain. She had heard of 41 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: a very old wizard, a wizard that was an expert 42 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: in flying lived high up in this mountain. She was 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: gonna go talk to him. Oh, I just have to 44 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: find the perfect way. I don't like making mistakes. I 45 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: have to do it right the first time, or maybe 46 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: someone will laugh at me. Have you ever felt that 47 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: way before? Like you have to do it perfect the 48 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: first time and or else maybe someone will laugh. Yeah, 49 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: me too. I hope Eleanna figures this out. As she 50 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: continued walking up the trail, she dreamed of flying. She said, Man, 51 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: I wish I could fly. It'd be so easier to 52 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: go up this mountain if I could fly up it 53 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: instead of walk. You see unicorns, They have four legs 54 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: and four hoofs, kind of like a horse, and it 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: was hard to climb up a mountain with those hoofs. 56 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Unicorns were not made and built to walk up a 57 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: mountain like that. They were made to fly up the mountain. 58 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: So it took Eleana a very, very long time to 59 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: get up this mountain. As she passed different creatures along 60 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: the way up the mountain, some of the creatures were 61 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: a little confused why the unicorn was walking. Oh aw, hello, there, 62 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: said a blue jay. Do you are you okay? Said 63 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: the blue jay? Oh? Yes, I'm fine. I'm just going 64 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: to find the old wizard that lives up this mountain, 65 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: said Eliana. Oh well, uh, why don't you just fly 66 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: up there like me? Look, you just you have wings 67 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: just like me. Fly said the blue jay. Uh, that's 68 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: cool that you can fly. I wish I can do 69 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: that sometime. But I haven't learned how to do that yet. 70 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: Well just just try. Can you flap your wings really fast? 71 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: I bet it a work? Said the blue jay. Nah. 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to try that yet. I want to 73 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: make sure that I do it perfectly the first time, 74 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: said Eliana. Okay, well, good luck. Bang blue jay took 75 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: off flying. Oh I wish I could fly like a 76 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: blue jay, said Eliana. She continued walking and hiking up 77 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: the mountain. Oh boy, this is getting hot. It was 78 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: a really hot day. And then she saw another creature. 79 00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: Oh hello, it was a ginormous eagle. H hi, hello there, Hi, 80 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: my name's Eleana. What what's your name? Yo? My name 81 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: is Edgar? Oh hi Edgar. Uh, you must be a 82 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: really good flyer. Can you tell me your secrets? Oh? 83 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: Of course. Will you just have to believe and you 84 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: just flap your wings and oh well, I don't really 85 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: remember how I learned. I just I just now flap 86 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: my wings. Have have you ever tried flapping your wings, 87 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: little girl, said Edgar? Well not yet. I I just 88 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: want to make sure that I totally understand everything before 89 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: I try flapping my wings. Okay, well, good luck to you. 90 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: I hope you figure it out, because flying is the 91 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: best thing in the whole wide world. And off flew 92 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: Edgar the Eagle. Ellianna started to think to herself, maybe 93 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: I should just try. I don't know, I really don't 94 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: want that eagle the blue Jay to laugh at me 95 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: if I don't do it right the first time. I 96 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I just got to talk 97 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: to this wizard. As Elianna finally made it up to 98 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: the top of the mountain, she saw the wizard there. Hello, 99 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: mister wizard, my name's Eleianna. I really need help flying. 100 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: Could you teach me everything you know? Oh? Well of 101 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: course I can. But all right, well, come sit down. 102 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: Ellianna sat down and took out a piece of paper 103 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: and a pencil and started to write everything down that 104 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: the wizard was talking. All right, well, the first thing 105 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: that you need to do is is just try to 106 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: fly and see if it works. Okay, but what do 107 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: I do to make sure that I fly the first time? 108 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: The perfectly, said Alianna. Well I can't promise you that, 109 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: said the wizard. But after you try the first time, 110 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: then you'll make a mistake, and that's normal. But then 111 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: you'll be able to correct that mistake. But without you 112 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: trying the first time, I won't know what it is 113 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: that we need to fix. That's just a part of 114 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: the process, said the wizard. You mean I have to 115 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: try it without knowing exactly how it's gonna happen, perfectly, 116 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: said Aliana. Oh you mean you haven't tried yet, said 117 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: the wizard. No, but do you promise you won't laugh? 118 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: Said Aliana. Oh of course I won't laugh, said the wizard. 119 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: Elianna stretched out and took a big, deep breath. Gee one, 120 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: two three. She started flapping her wings as fast as 121 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: she could, trying to think about everything she'd learned in 122 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: all her books, and she got a little off the 123 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: ground and then crashed back down. Oh no, it didn't work. 124 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 1: My life is over, Elihanna started to cry. She thought 125 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: she would never learn how to fly because she tried 126 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: everything that she could that she learned. Oh that is 127 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: a great job. Look at what you did, said the wizard. 128 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: You got very high off the ground the very first time, 129 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: much better than my first try. You mean you didn't 130 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: fly your first time, said Aliana. Why, oh, definitely not. 131 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: It took me a very long time. But you see, 132 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: you're so close. Just need to adjust your tail a 133 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: little bit to the right and then it's going to work. 134 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: Try again. Ellianna stretched out and sort of flapp her 135 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: wings as fast as she could and moved her tails 136 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: of the right, and she got a little higher off 137 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: the ground and then she's flying. I did it. Great job, Ellianna, 138 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,119 Speaker 1: said the wizard. And that is the day that Ellianna 139 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: the baby Unicorn, finally learned to fly. Have you ever 140 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: felt nervous about trying something for the first time? Oh? Yes, 141 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: me too, And so Ellianna she was so worried about 142 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: having to do it perfect the first time it stopped 143 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: her from even trying. And so if you ever feel 144 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: that way, if you ever feel like, I don't know 145 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: if I'll do it right, you have to try the 146 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: first time and then learn from the mistake, and then 147 00:09:51,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: you will fly, just like Ellianna. The end, great job. 148 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: You listened all the way to the end, and you 149 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: know what, Tom, it is.
