Speaker 1: Enough about that, let's get too today's super Live Ay

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Lewis story. Mom have you seen my new krans? Shouted

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Levi from the playroom. They should be with your sketch

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: pad right there on the table, call back Levi's mom.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Levi knew which cran she was talking about, and they

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: were practically worn down to nothing. No, Mom, not those

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: my new krans, said. The ones on the table are

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: your new kraons. You just go through them so quickly,

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: said Levi's mom as she walked into the playroom. Levi

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: looked upset because he had a great idea for a

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: drawing he wanted to create. Levi loved drawing and went

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: through art supplies faster than the average kid, and not

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: just krans. We're talking markers, oil pastels, watercolor paints, you

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: name it. Levi used it to create something amazing. But

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: when he had an idea, he wanted to get it

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: down on paper immediately. So when he realized that his

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: favorite thing to draw with, krans were all gone, he

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: didn't know what he was going to do. But Mom,

28
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Levi wined, the idea I have for a drawing is

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: a castle built out of krans where the Kran King

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: and Queen live. And I can't draw a Kran castle

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: with anything other than krans. Well, you have a point there,

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: said Levi's mom, trying to think up a solution to

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: his problem. How about we checked the old craft bins

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: upstairs in the attic. Maybe we can find some crans

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: up there. Levi didn't like his odds for success with

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: this idea, but it was worth a try. The craft

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: bins his mom was talking about hadn't been used in years,

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: and some of the craft supplies in there were from

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: when she was a kid, like a hundred years ago

40
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: or something. Reluctantly, Levi and his mom trudged up to

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: the attic and switched on the light, illuminating the darkness

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: and all the treasures that called the attic home. Old

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: holiday decorations, folding chairs for parties, and boxes and boxes

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: of Levi and his sister Ivy's baby clothes and school

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: art projects. You always were great with a pack of krans,

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: said Levi's mom, holding up a drawing he had done

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: in kindergarten of a kangaroo and a panda having a

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: tea party on the moon. And such a wonderful imagination.

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Your dad and I were always so excited to see

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: what you would create next. Levi smiled and then quickly

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: got to work looking for the old craft bins. Once

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: he found them, he opened the lids and started to

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: search for krans. However, he found anything but he found

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: pomp palms, pipe cleaners, ribbons, sequins, bottles and bottles of glitter.

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: He found construction paper, crepe paper, and tracing paper, but

56
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: no friends. What do you think he didn't find kraans.

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: That's right, no krans. Then, just when Levi was ready

58
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: to give up his search, his mom, who was looking

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: through one of the bands, suddenly called out I found some.

60
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: She spun around to face Levi, holding up a pack

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: of old, very old to Levi crams. These were mine

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, said Levi's mom, with a

63
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: nostalgic smile on her face. My great grandma gave them

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: to me. She taught me to color and draw, and

65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: these were hers when she was a kid. If you

66
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: can believe it, Levi put out his hands as his

67
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: mom dumped out the box of crans. They were your

68
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: great grandmothers, Levi said, sounding extremely surprised. This was because

69
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: the crans he held in his hands looked to be unused.

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: The point on each cran was perfect and screamed to

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: be used to draw something magnificent. There were very few

72
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: things in the world that were more appealing to Levi

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: than a brand new box of pointy, colorful crans. And

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: while they weren't new, they certainly were pointy and colorful.

75
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: I know, right, replied Levi's mom. They always look like this.

76
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: My great grandma told me once that they were magic,

77
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: but I think she was just telling stories. She told

78
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: the best stories, and the ones about her cran drawings

79
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: coming to life when she was a kid were my

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: absolute favorite. My drawings never came to life. But I

81
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: wasn't as good of an artist as she was. Hey,

82
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: maybe since you're so great at drawing, your artwork will

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: come to life. Levi's mom laughed as she said it,

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: not really believing what she was saying. She gathered up

85
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: the items from the craft bin, put them away, and

86
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: then left the attic with Levi, who was, of course

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: still holding onto these wonderful maybe magical crans. Magic crans,

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Levi whispered to himself as he sat down at his

89
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: creation station in the playroom. I wonder if the those

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: stories are true. Levi giggled to himself, thinking of his

91
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: cran creation coming to life, and quickly decided that that

92
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: was just too far fetched to happen. Then, with his

93
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: new old Krans in hand, he was finally ready to

94
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: draw his Kran castle, complete with a kran king and king.

95
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: The old Krans felt the same as his new Krans, however,

96
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: the colors were more vibrant and eye catching. They seemed

97
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: to almost glow and shimmer. He started with the outline

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: of the castle and then moved on to the details.

99
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: The kran king and Queen were the last to join

100
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: the drawing. And when he was all done, he was

101
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: so proud of what he had created. He led the

102
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: way the drawing looked and wondered for a moment if

103
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: maybe the Krans were special after all. No, that was

104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: just a story, Levi said to himself as he stared

105
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: at the perfect, pointy looking Krans. Then something moved out

106
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: of the corner of his eye. He thought it was

107
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe a little fly or some dust, and swatted at

108
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: it with his hands, his gaze never leaving the Krans.

109
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: They were so perfect he just couldn't look away. Then

110
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: again he saw something move, and only then did he

111
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: turn to see what it was. What Levi saw next

112
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: would prove his original thoughts about the magic Krans wrong

113
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: beyond a shadow of a doubt. What is going on here,

114
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: said Levi in a loud whisper, not sure of what

115
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: he was seeing and not wanting to alarm anyone else

116
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: in the house until he figured out what was going on. Why,

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: we just want to say a most sincere thank you,

118
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: good fellow, for creating such a prestigious and glamorous home

119
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: for my wife, the Queen, and I to share, said

120
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: the kran king that Levi had just created. Yeah, you

121
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: heard me right, The kran King that Levi had just

122
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: drawn jumped off the page of his sketch book and

123
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: came to life right before his eyes. Never have we

124
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: seen a more brilliant artist than you, young squire, added

125
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: the Queen as she walked to stand beside the king.

126
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: Not since a little girl, many many many years ago,

127
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: have these crans you're holding been used to create such magic.

128
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: Levi I truly could not believe what he was seeing

129
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: or hearing, and since his parents always told him to

130
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: be polite when he was getting a compliment, he humbly

131
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: accepted the kind words of the kran King and Queen

132
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: and said, thank you. What is your name and what

133
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: other marvelous magical masterpieces do you have for us? Asked

134
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: the king. My name is Levi. I guess I could

135
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: draw a few more things, he said, letting the enormity

136
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: and amaziness of the moment sink in. Levi then proceeded

137
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: to pick up the brown cran and draw a few

138
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: horses outside the castle walls. His cran was hardly off

139
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: the paper before they neighed and sprang into life. The

140
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: King and Queen quite used to getting all that they

141
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: wanted applauded and asked Levi to draw them something else.

142
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: He grabbed a silver cran and drew them something he

143
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: knew they had never seen before. I thought I'd show

144
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: you something that isn't commonly seen around a castle, he said,

145
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: drying a shiny, zooming rockets which soared high above the

146
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: castle and all around his room. Then, feeling the power

147
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: of the great gift he possessed, he grabbed a handful

148
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: of crans in one hand and dragged them all across

149
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: the top of a sketch book, making the most sensational rainbow.

150
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: It shimmered and glistened and cast a prism of colors

151
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: all over the whole castle. The King and Queen were

152
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: very happy. All this excitement has made me oh tired,

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: said the king. It was just marvelous, and we hope

154
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: to see more from you, young Levi. The cran king

155
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: then led the queen and the horses inside the castle

156
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: gates to have a quick nap. The rocket Levi created

157
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: found an open window in the playroom and zoomed out

158
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: to discover the next great galaxy, and the rainbow faded

159
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: away as rainbows do, back into Levi's sketchbook. Levi was

160
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: then left in the silence of a playroom with his

161
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: new old magical crans and the knowledge that he could

162
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: make anything he drew come to life. That was a

163
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: lot of responsibility for a seven year old to process,

164
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: but the desire to see what he could create next

165
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: was overwhelming, and Levi quickly turned his attention to his

166
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: next drawing, fine to worry about the power of his

167
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: new gift. Later, as Levi sat excitedly thinking of what

168
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: to draw next, several ideas swirled in his head. Maybe

169
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: a race car or a flying dirt bike, or another

170
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: rocket that he could take for a spin. Or how

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: about a dragon that didn't breathe fire, but rather cotton candy?

172
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: Or why stop at cotton candy? Why not draw himself

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: a whole candy factory. His ideas were limitless, but sometimes

174
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: using a power you have to help others is the

175
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: greatest thing you can do with it. That's when his

176
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: sister Ivy walked into the playroom. She was looking pretty sad,

177
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: but unfortunately she'd been looking sad a lot lately because

178
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: her best friend Olivia had just moved away. Ivy, Ivy,

179
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: You'll never believe what these crams can do, shotted Levi,

180
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: more excited than he had ever been before. I'm sure

181
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: their great crayons, muttered Ivy, not really paying much attention

182
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: to Levi, she sat down at the creation station and

183
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: doodled pictures of ice cream cones on a scrap of paper.

184
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Having ice cream playdates was something she loved doing with Olivia,

185
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: who had just moved away. Drawing the little ice cream

186
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: cone doodles made her think of her and remember the

187
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: good times they had together. But while those memories made

188
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Ivy smile, they also made her sad. It was at

189
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: that moment that Levi knew just what to do, Ivy.

190
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: I know you're feeling down right now, but I think

191
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: I have something that will make you smile, said Levi.

192
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: Then he told his sister the story about the new

193
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Old Krans and how their mom's great grandma told stories

194
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: about them being magic. Well it's true, Ivy, they are magic,

195
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna prove it to you and draw you

196
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: something you need more than anything else right now, said Levi,

197
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: spreading the crans out across the table. Ivy was only

198
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: half paying attention, but smiled at her brother and thanked

199
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: him for trying to make her feel better. He went

200
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: right to work, using color after color to create a

201
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: cran version of Ivy's best friend Olivia, complete with the

202
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: matching sunshine sweatshirt they bought right before she moved away.

203
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: Ivy was still so focused on her ice cream cone

204
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: doodles that she didn't notice what Levi was drawing, or

205
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: that the drawing had come to life right there on

206
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: the table. Ivy, take a look, said Levi. It will

207
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: never replace Olivia completely, but I hope it will help

208
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: a little bit when you miss her a lot. Ivy

209
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: lifted her head, and that's when she found herself face

210
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: to face with her best friend, but in cran form. LEVI,

211
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: what what what is this? Shotted Levin in a whisper.

212
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it, exclaimed Levi. It's like I was

213
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: telling you, these crams are magic, and the stories Mom's

214
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: great grandma told her we're true. She didn't believe them,

215
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: but maybe she will now if we show her what

216
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: I created. Ivy nodded her head, unable to speak because

217
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: the smile on her face was so big. She was

218
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: so happy to see her best friend Olivia, even if

219
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: it was only a cran drawing that she gave the

220
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: magical cran creation a great big hug. We definitely need

221
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: to tell, mom, said Ivy, running around the playroom with

222
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: kran Olivia. I know, I think it will be really

223
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: great for her to know that her great grandma's stories

224
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: were all true, beamed Levi with a big smile on

225
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: his face. He then ran out of the playroom and

226
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: called for his mom and dad. He told him they

227
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: had to follow him to the playroom and see what

228
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: he had created with the crans they found. You know,

229
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: we're always so excited to see what your next creation is,

230
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: said his mom as she followed Levi back to the playroom. Hi, Ivy,

231
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: she called out as she walked in and stopped in

232
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: her tracks. And Hello Olivia, said Levi and Ivy's dad

233
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: without thinking twice. When he finally realized that it wasn't

234
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: actually Olivia, just a cran drawing come to life, he

235
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: was speechless as well and stared right along with Levi

236
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: and Ivy's mom in disbelief. What who how asked Levi's mom,

237
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: barely able to speak. Did you draw her with my

238
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: great grandma's krans? Levi just nodded his head. Letting it

239
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: at all sink in for his mom. The stories she

240
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: told you were true, Mom, said Levi. The crans are magic,

241
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: and I have the gift to make whatever I want

242
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: come to life. Levi's mom gave him a huge hug,

243
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: his tears streamed down her face. I always knew deep

244
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: down that those stories had to be true, said Levi's mom.

245
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: My great grandmother talked about the things they created with

246
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: those crans with such love and excitement. Thank you for

247
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: showing me this. U a little help over here, said

248
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: Levi's dad, What's going on? That's when Levi, his mom,

249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: and Ivy told him all about the magic krans. After

250
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: a little discussion and a lot of excitement, Levi drew

251
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: a few more things for his parents. His dad was

252
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: interested in a power tool, a super power tool in fact,

253
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: that could do the job of all the power tools

254
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: he had. It was amazing and he immediately ran around

255
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: the house fixing anything and everything that needed to be fixed.

256
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: Levi's mom was interested in a beautiful flower arrangement like

257
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: her great grandma used to have at her house when

258
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: she was younger. Levi used every color in his magical

259
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: cran box and created something absolutely lovely for her. He

260
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: even drew the flowers with beautiful faces so that it

261
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: didn't just look beautiful, but they sang beautifully too. The

262
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: festive flowers serenaded Levi's mom and the rest of his

263
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: family as the day went on. As Levi looked around

264
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: at all the joy that his cran's creations that were

265
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: bringing everyone, he knew exactly how this gift should be used.

266
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: He told his parents his idea and they loved it.

267
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: The next day, he set off into his community with

268
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: his sketchbook and his new old magical crans in hand.

269
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: When he saw someone in need, he was more than

270
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: happy to lend a hand or should I say, a cran,

271
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: to help in any way he could. For example, Levi

272
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: created a small ridge in the park to help children

273
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: walk from one side of the lake out to a

274
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: small island where they could play hide and seek among

275
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: towering pine trees. When he walked to the playground and

276
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: noticed that a family of crows had set up their

277
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: nest right on top of the slide. What they needed,

278
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: Levi decided, was their own special place, So he created

279
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: a tree that just so happened to have a slide

280
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: coming off one of the branches, which the little baby

281
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: crows seem to really enjoy. Now the crows had their

282
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: own space and the children at the playground had their

283
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: slide back. This went on and on. Levi helped anyone

284
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: and everyone he could, using his new old magic crans

285
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: and an amazing gift that he was happy to share.

Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us today. We hope you enjoyed the
