1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,239
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 and off we go.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Riby Rare Stories.

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: My Dino friend in the Forest. Levi grabbed a few

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: sticks from around the campsite and set them by the

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: fire pit. Moonbeams lit his way as he wandered towards

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: the lake that listened like a million blue sapphires. Levi

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: and his family loved camping and making s'mores around a

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: roaring campfire. Since his parents weren't quite ready to feast

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: on the ouey guey treats just yet, Levi thought it

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: would be a good time to take a trip down

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: to the lake. He loved to check out the forest

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: when the sun went down. Of course, he always made

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: sure his parents knew where he was and that he

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: never wandered too far from camp. The lake was a

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: great place for swimming, fishing, and canoeing during the day,

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: but at night it was different. It was quite mysterious,

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: and that night full of the unexpected frogs croaked on

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: the shore and splashed into the water. As Levi walked closer.

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: Bugs buzzed around his head and fireflies flickered in the darkness.

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: I bet something really cool lives in this lake, Levi

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: thought to himself.

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Something amazing like a dinosaur.

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: And I bet no one has ever seen it before

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: because it only comes out when the campers are asleep.

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: I bet as soon as the last campfire flame fizzles out,

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: the dino pops out of the water and plays with

30
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: the frogs and the fireflies all night long. Levi loved

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: making up stories. He would tell them to his parents

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: as they sat around the campfire each night. Some were funny,

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: some were adventurous, but almost all of them were about dinosaurs.

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: Next to camping, dinosaurs were just about Levi's favorite thing

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: in the whole world. He had a dino bike, dino pjs,

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: and even a dino toothbrush. One night, I'm going to

37
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: stay up after we're done making s'mores, Levi declared, And

38
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to meet that dino and we're going to

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: be friends.

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: I just know it.

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: That night, after the last moore was eaten, Levi knew

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: what he had to do stay awake. He knew the

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: only way to meet the dinoh was to stay up

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: after everyone in the campsite had gone to bed, so

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: after the last flame of their campfire fizzled out, Levi's parents.

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Headed off to bed.

47
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: Don't stay up too late, honey, Levi's mom muttered as

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: she cozied up in her sleeping bag. Levi said good night,

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: but sleeping was the last thing on his mind. He

50
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: quietly made his way down to the lake and waited.

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: After only a few minutes, he heard a sound. It

52
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: was a bubbling, splashing, gurgling sound, and it.

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: Was coming from the center of the lake.

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: The moon cast a perfect spotlight on the rippling water,

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: and before he knew it, Levi was staring at something

56
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: truly amazing. I knew you were real, he whispered to

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: himself as he locked eyes with a dinosaur. The dino

58
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: tilted its head to the side and stared back at Levi.

59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: It was obvious that he wasn't used to visitors that

60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: weren't fireflies or frogs.

61
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: He seemed quite friendly and didn't scare Levi at all.

62
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: He had kind eyes that shimmered like stars and brilliant

63
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: green skin. He walked towards Levi and gave him a

64
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: few good sniffs. It became quite clear to Levi that

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: he really liked what he smelled. Hi, i'm Levi giggled. LEVI,

66
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: is that how you say hello? Or do you just

67
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: like the smell of s'mores? The Dino's eyes opened wide

68
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: and a giant smile spread across his face.

69
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Smores, he said slowly. Do you eat some'mores?

70
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: Levi joked, then quickly noticed that Dinah wasn't laughing. Instead,

71
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: his stomach was growling. Are you hungry, Levi asked. The

72
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: dino nodded his giant head as his tummy rumbled. Then

73
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: follow me.

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: We have hot.

75
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: Dogs, popcorn, s'mores, all sorts of tasty stuff at my campsite,

76
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: Levi I said, as he turned to leave, thinking that Dinah.

77
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Was right behind him.

78
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: However, after taking a few steps, Levi turned around and

79
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: saw that his friend wasn't moving. The Dinah was just

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: standing by the shore. Levi I quickly saw that his

81
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: friend was caught in some fishing line and was stuck

82
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: in the lake.

83
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: That's why you're hungry.

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: You can't get out of the lake to get a snack,

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: levi I realized. The dino nodded his head sadly. I'll

86
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: help you, Levi I said, running off, I'll be right back.

87
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: Leve I ran back to his campsite. He put a

88
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: pair of scissors and some food in a defel bag,

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: But as he turned to leave, he right into his parents.

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: What are you doing up? Who are you talking to

91
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: at the lake? And what's in your duffel bag? They asked,

92
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Just enjoying a little stargazing. I was talking to myself

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: and my duffel bag. Well it's full of books.

94
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, just doing a little reading out loud under the

95
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: stars down at the lake, That's all, Levi I said,

96
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: hoping his parents would believe him and go back to bed. However,

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: they knew something was up and decided to see for themselves.

98
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: You both looked tired. You should go back to bed,

99
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: leeve I pleaded, but it didn't work. They marched back

100
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: toward the lake. Leeve I tried to talk extra loud,

101
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: hoping that Dinah would hear him and dip back underwater.

102
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: But now the fishing line around his leg was caught

103
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: on a tree near the shore, so he couldn't go anywhere.

104
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: Leeve I tried everything he could get his parents to

105
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: look anywhere, but at the dino he made silly faces.

106
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: He did a little dance, then he finally just jumped

107
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: into the lake. After his parents helped him out, they

108
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: ran back to the camp to get him a towel.

109
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: When they were gone, Levi opened his duffel bag and

110
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: handed the Dinoh all the hot dogs, popcorn, and s'mores

111
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: that he had grabbed. As his friend gobbled up the

112
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: tasty snacks, Levi cut the fishing line with his scissors.

113
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: The Dinoh was no longer stuck and now no longer

114
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: hungry either. I'm so happy that I could help you,

115
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Levi whispered to his new friend. I just knew you

116
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: were real, and my parents are great, But if they

117
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: saw you, I don't think they'd ever come back to

118
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: this campsite again. I once brought a turtle into the house.

119
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: My mom nearly passed down. The Dinoh understood and thanked

120
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: Levi by gently nuzzling him with his enormous head. Levi

121
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: knew they were friends and that they would see each

122
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: other again. The Dinah slipped under the water just as

123
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: Levi's parents returned. Levi I dried off and walked back

124
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: to camp with his mom and dad. As he did,

125
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: he really wanted to share the amazing experience he just had.

126
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: It felt incredible to meet a real dinosaur, but it

127
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: felt even better to help a new friend. He decided

128
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: to tell them all about the dino as he got

129
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: ready for bed. You have such an amazing imagination, Levi,

130
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: his mom said with a giggle.

131
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear.

132
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: The rest of this tale over s'mores tomorrow night out

133
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: of his dad, Levi smiled, thinking of the dino and

134
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: all the wonderful stories he'd have to share when they

135
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: saw each other again.

136
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: Did you learn a lesson from this story? Hey? Yeah?

137
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: What was it?

138
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: And? Parents, do your kids have a story idea? Leave

139

142
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: Until next time, Gangs for Listening, Come back four
