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 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: All you need is your imagination an off we go,

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Revey Learius Stories.

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the continuation of the Kindness Forest. When

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: we left off, Levi and Ivy were ready to set

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: off into the enchanted forest with Charlie, a little squirrel

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 2: with a big problem.

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: I'll say Charlie and the rest of the animals that

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: called the forest home were dealing with a very grumpy

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: and unkind trol that had taken up residence in their

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: area of the forest. Charlie called on Levi and Ivy

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: to help. Because of their adventurous nature and kind demeanor,

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: Levi and.

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Ivy didn't know what to expect, but they knew they

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: had to help all their new forest friends. The first

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: thing they did while putting together a plan with Charlie

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: and some of their other forest friends was to make

20
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: a list of things they could do to show kindness

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: and compassion to the troll. In doing so, they hoped

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: he would change his un kind and rude ways to

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: be able to live alongside everyone else in the forest.

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: I think we should start by involving all the animals

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: in the forest in our plan, said Ivy. I agree,

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: replied Levi. The more friends that we want to help,

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: the more kindness we can spread, and the faster we

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: can get this problem taken care of. Charlie and the

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: rest of the forest animals then told Levi and Ivy

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: something kind they could do each day. Ivy wrote down

31
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: their suggestions in a little notebook she had carried with

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: her and her backpack. Once the list was done, she

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: read it out loud.

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Kindness checklist, Share with everyone, respect everyone's space, keep your

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: voice down when others are trying to sleep, Keep things

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: neat and tidy. Say hello to others when you see them.

37
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: Include everyone in your games and activities. Take up trash

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: that you see. Help others that may be lost. Share

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: a joke with a friend if they look sad. Start

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: each day with a kind thought. Do one good deed

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: each day. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Wow,

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy. These are all great ideas, but that's all

43
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: they'll be until we go out there and start doing them,

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: said Levi with great excitement. Who's ready to go out

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: there and spread some kindness with me. We are, replied

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: the forest animals in a thunderous chorus. And that's exactly

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: what they did. Levi, Ivy, Charlie and all the other

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: animals set off into the forest looking for ways to

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: spread kindness and do good deeds. Surely, if we fill

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: the forest with all this love, understanding and kindness, some

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: of it has to rub off on that mean old troll,

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: thought Ivy as she walked with Levi and Charlie. I

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: really believe that it will, said Charlie. After all this

54
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: is it's an enchanted forest full of magic and wonder.

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: As they walked along, Ivy saw a scrap of paper

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: on the ground and picked it up. She saw another

57
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: and another and gathered those up too. Those are from

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: the troll, explained Charlie. He litters everywhere. He doesn't care

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: how it makes a forest look or how it makes

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: us feel. We kind of stopped cleaning it up because

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: it gets to be too much sometimes. Thank you for

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: helping us keep this place clean. Charlie was so inspired

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: that he ran around with a few other squirrel friends

64
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: and picked up a few bits of trash. Then a

65
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: few other animals joined in, and then a few more

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: before they knew it. The area was clean, looking like

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: it should. Ivy smiled at Charlie, you all did a

68
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: great job. See what working together as a team can do.

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Levi continued on. He was enjoying the beautiful forest until

70
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: he heard a tiny voice cry out help help. He

71
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: heard the little voice traveled from the tall grass just

72
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: off the side of the path where Levi was walking.

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: He bent down and searched through the grass until he

74
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: saw a tiny bunny. Hi, little buddy, what's wrong, said

75
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: Levi in a gentle voice. Don't be afraid. I'm here

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: to help you. I'm lost. I heard you walking through

77
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: the forest and thought you were that mean old troll.

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: I ran off the trail, away from my family to hide,

79
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: and now I'm lost, cried the little bunny. You're not

80
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: lost when you have a friend with you, smiled Levi.

81
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: Hop into my hand and we'll find your family together.

82
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: That's so kind of you, said the little bunny, using

83
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: his long floppy ears to wipe away his tears. Thank you.

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: After walking just a few minutes on the trail, Levi

85
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: saw a few bunnies up ahead. They were frantically looking

86
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: all around and calling out Benny Benny. Levi looked down

87
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: at the little bunny in his hand and said, are

88
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: you b I am, said the bunny excitedly as he

89
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: heard his mom's voice. That's my mom. He jumped out

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: of Levi's hand and ran down the trail to meet

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: up with his family. But he wasn't gone long before

92
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: he turned around and ran back to Levi. Thank you

93
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: for helping me, Benny said, It really makes me want

94
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: to help others. My mom said, I can walk with

95
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: you and spread some more kindness around if that's okay

96
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: with you. Of course it is, said Levi to Benny

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,119
Speaker 2: as he jumped back into his hand.

98
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: As Ivy, Levi, Charlie, and Benny made their way through

99
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: the forest looking for the troll, they were all grated

100
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: with smiles and open hearts as they showed love, kindness,

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: and compassion to all. This is really amazing, said Charlie.

102
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to see all my forest friends so

103
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 1: happy again. We've all been so scared of the troll

104
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: lately that we've all kept to ourselves and spent more

105
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: time hiding than being together. Levi and Ivy were happy

106
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: they could help, but they knew their biggest hurdle was

107
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: still waiting for them somewhere in the forest, but a

108
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: smaller hurdle was right in front of them. As Levi

109
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: and Ivy continued along with Charlie and Benny, they got

110
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: a little hungry. They saw an apple tree and ran

111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: over to it. This is the one the tree that

112
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: the troll eats from all the time, began Charlie. It's

113
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: usually filled with apples, but since he eats them all,

114
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: hardly anyone in the forest has been able to have

115
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: one in the longest time, and it's sad because they're

116
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: the best apples you'll ever taste. Levi and Ivy loved

117
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: apples and looked all over the tree to see if

118
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: there was maybe one the troll had left behind, and

119
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: sure enough, after searching and searching, Levi called out, I

120
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: see one. Thankfully. It was quite big, which was great

121
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: since it was the only apple on the tree, and

122
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: Levi of course wanted to share it with Ivy, Charlie

123
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: and Benny. But just as he was reaching for it,

124
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: a rather large hawk flew down and grabbed it.

125
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: Thanks for finding me a snap puck, the hawk laughed

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: as he landed in a high branch of the tree nearby.

127
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: I haven't had one of these apples in a long time.

128
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I'd be called out, but my brother found

129
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: that apple. It's not yours, but if you return it,

130
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: we can all share it. The hawk just began to laugh,

131
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: and he started to peck at the apple. No way,

132
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: he said between bites. Why would I share it with you?

133
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: That troll doesn't ever share anything with anyone, so I

134
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: think that's the way to go. I have to watch

135
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: out for myself, Levi. I didn't get upset at the hawk. Instead,

136
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: he wanted to talk with them. I'm sorry the troll

137
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: has taken your tasty apples and won't share, but that's

138
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: no reason for you to do the same, Levi, I began.

139
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: We're all hungry, not just you. Think of how you

140
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: would feel if I was holding that apple and refused

141
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: to share it with you. The hawk had never thought

142
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: of it that way. He had gotten so used to

143
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: seeing the troll not share or think of others that

144
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: he started to act the same way. The hawk grabbed

145
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: the apple with his claws and flew down to Levi.

146
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: I'm very sorry, said the hawk as he placed the

147
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: apple in Levi's hand. I know sharing is the right

148
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: thing to do. I just got caught up thinking of myself.

149
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: As the hawk turned to fly off, Levi stopped him.

150
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: There's enough to share. Why don't you join us for

151
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: a snack, he said.

152
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: The hawk looked stunned. Why would you share with me

153
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: after I was so rude to you, said the hawk.

154
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: Ivey stepped in with an answer. It's because the more

155
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: we work together, the better it is for everyone. She said.

156
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: The way you feel now understood, accepted, and included feels good,

157
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: doesn't it. The hawk nodded his head. Now that you've

158
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: felt that way, you'll be more likely to want to

159
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: share that wonderful feeling with others. Ivey said with a smile.

160
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: Being kind is powerful. You now have the power to

161
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: make others feel good, smile and know that someone is

162
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: looking out for them. The hawk agreed and thank them

163
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: all for the tasty snack. Levi divided up the apple

164
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: into five pieces, and they all enjoyed it together. I'm Henry,

165
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: by the way, said the hawk, and I'd be happy

166
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: to help in any way I can. Levi explained that

167
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: they were in search of the troll to try to

168
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: show him like they had just shown Henry that kindness

169
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: and compassion is always a good place to start. As

170
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: they all walked on looking for the troll, they met

171
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: up with many other forest friends who wanted to help,

172
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and a few more forest friends that needed some convincing

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: like Henry did. But in the end, all the animals

174
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: decided it was best to form a supportive and strong

175
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: community and stand up to the troll once and for all.

176
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: Wow, I wonder what's going to happen when they finally

177
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: meet that troll.

178
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I wonder if they're going to find any

179
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: more of those delicious apples?

180
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: Really, Eric, that's what you're wondering about.

181
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm getting hungry, but you're right. There are so

182
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: many questions to answer. Will Levi and Ivy running to

183
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: more difficult forest friends, When will they find the troll,

184
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: will they be able to make him kind, will they

185
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: make it home in time for dinner? And will Levi

186
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: ever get his bright orange bouncy ball back? These and
