Once upon a time, there was a baker 7 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: named Mirah. Every morning, as the wind gently blew across 8 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: the sea, she baked two dozen loaves of bread. A 9 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: dozen means twelve. That means she made twenty four loaves 10 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: of bread. Mira's bread business was special. Each day she 11 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: took orders for a dozen loaves from people in town. 12 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: With that money, she bought enough flour to make their bread, 13 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: plus an extra dozen loaves to give to anyone who 14 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: was hungry or needed some kindness. On this day, Mira 15 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: baked her bread. Then she packed twelve of the loaves 16 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: onto her bicycle. While the other loaves cooled, she rode 17 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: into town to deliver her delicious care packages. 18 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: Good morning, missus Roth. 19 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Said Mira to a woman on the street. 20 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: I hear your husband has the measly weasley mumps. Maybe 21 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: this loaf of bread will help. 22 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: Why, thank you, Mirah, said missus Roth. How very kind 23 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: of you. 24 00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: Hello there, mister Tuttle. I hope you're broken. Her arm 25 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: is healing. Would you like some bread today? Oh? 26 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: Yes, it's hard to make a meal with a broken. 27 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: Arm, thanks, said mister Tuttle. Like this, Mira gave away 28 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: all the free loaves and headed home to get the 29 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: second batch for her paying customers. The wind was getting 30 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: strong and the sky was growing dark, and Mira noticed 31 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: big waves crashing on the seashore. A storm was coming. 32 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: Just as she was going back to town with the bread, 33 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: a huge gust of wind grabbed the dozen loaves and 34 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: sent them sailing through the air and into the sea. 35 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: Oh no, my bread. 36 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: Mira's customers were waiting. 37 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 3: Oh. 38 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: She put on her raincoat and rowed back to town, 39 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: splashing through big puddles. Everyone wanted the bread, of course, 40 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: or their money. Mirah had neither. They listened to her 41 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: story about what happened and agreed to meet after the 42 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: storm to sort out the problem. 43 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: We'll meet by the big flower pot in town. There 44 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: must be a solution. 45 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: Later that day, Mira and her customers gathered by the 46 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: flower pot. Mirah, you're a kind woman, but you owe 47 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: us brand or money. Mira didn't have either. She still 48 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: didn't have a solution. Just then, a ship captain came 49 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: walking up, soaking wet. Everyone turned to look. 50 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: Hello, good people.
