Speaker 1: Consul to paper sketching you art on this page. What

2
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: kind of journey will this draw and bring to life?

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Today another adventure waits for you, ro Scout and Layla.

00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: My comment wong to.

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: It's imagination time and curiosity cold.

6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 3: Curiosity came. It's a magical place come true. Welcome to

7
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: Adventures of Curiosity.

00:00:50,720 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: Cald Hello and welcome. It's me Ella the Curious. Whether

Speaker 4: you're joining us for the first time or coming back

Speaker 4: for more adventures, I'm thrilled to have you here. Welcome

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 4: back to the Adventures of Curiosity Cove, where each episode

12
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 4: we dive into one of my own Ella the Curious

13
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: adventures or listen to an original story right here in

14
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: my cozy treehouse.

15
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: Picture this.

16
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: We're nestled among the trees, surrounded by comfy bean bags,

17
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: piles of fluffy pillows, and yes, my favorite stuffy Roe

18
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: is here too. It's like we have stepped into a

19
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: peaceful world, almost as if my mom used her relaxing

20
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: dreams prey to set the tone. It's just peace and quiet,

21
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: perfect for story time. Let's dive into today's story about

22
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 4: me Ella the Curious and how hard I work to

23
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: get a new easel by selling my artwork. Ready to listen,

24
00:01:54,120 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: Let's do it, Ella the Curious the art show. Mom, Dad,

25
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: you have to see this. It's a total game changer.

26
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: Ella flew into the kitchen in a flurry, and her

27
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: two long braids bounced behind her in the wind. What's

28
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: going on, Ella? Is everything all right? Ella took a

29
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: moment to catch her breath. All she could do was

30
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: hold up the art magazine in her hands, pointing excitedly

31
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: to something at the top of the page.

32
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: Look at this evil I want it, I need it.

33
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: I have to have it.

34
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: Can you imagine I can paint outside al fresco like

35
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: a Renaissance painter.

36
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: I need a little hat and a smock.

37
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: It says it's on sales, so that means it costs

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: way less than the original price.

39
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: Mom, that's what you always say to dad, Right.

40
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 5: Ella, that's a really nice cecil, but you already have one.

41
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 5: It's great to see you so passionate about your creativity,

42
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: but it's also important to be thankful for the tools

43
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: you are have.

44
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: Your Dad's right, Ella.

45
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we have so

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: many wonderful things to be grateful for. I know, and

47
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: I am grateful, but I have a kitty easel? Can

48
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: I be grateful for all the cool stuff it's helped

49
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: me create and also want a little glow up? Ella's

50
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: parents winked at each other, then grinned back at her.

51
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: What's going on you two?

52
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: Well?

53
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: Ella, if you really want that easel, maybe you can

54
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: find a way to earn the money for it. What

55
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: do you think about having an art sale tomorrow morning?

56
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: That way, you can get the easel in time to

57
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: paint your favorite character floats that you'll see in the

58
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving Day parade? An art sale me, I'm not Deborah

59
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: hert Right or romeor Bearden or Picasso.

60
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: Do you really think people would buy my work?

61
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 5: Of course they will, Ella, you're an amazing artist.

62
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.

63
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 5: I have some spare plywood from the house we're building

64
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: at work. I'll make you a display table and you

65
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 5: can paint it.

66
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: This is going to be the best Thanksgiving.

67
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: Art sale yet.

68
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: Now, Ella, you're going to have to set your prices

69
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: and stick to them. It's important that you know your

70
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: worth as an artist. Haggling can be fun, but your

71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: work is valuable because it's part of you.

72
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: Wow, I never thought.

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: Of that before Ella grabbed Row, her favorite stuffed purple

74
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: roly poly from his seat at the kitchen table.

75
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: Are you as excited as I am?

76
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: Row? I really want that easel, but showing my art

77
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 4: to the whole world is a little scary. Maybe I

78
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: should stick to the easels and the paints that I'm

79
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: used to. Ella's mom kneeled down in front of her

80
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: and gently pulled her into a hug. Ella, your dad

81
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: and I want you to be proud to show your

82
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: gifts to the world. Your art may not be everyone's

83
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: cup of tea, but you don't paint for them.

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: You do it because you love it. Ella tried to

85
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: put on a brave face.

86
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 4: Not knowing whether or not people would like her art

87
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: was like walking into a huge room with her eyes closed.

88
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: Do all artists feel this way?

89
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: Ella felt a rush of excitement and nervousness as she

90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: wondered if the world would like her paintings and drawings.

91
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: She took a deep breath, and her excitement suddenly took over.

92
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: You're right, Mom, I'm gonna be my best me and

93
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: if people like my art, hooray, And if not, I'll

94
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 4: keep at it because I love it so very much.

95
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: Ella excitedly bounced on her toes as she stood behind

96
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 4: the sturdy table Joseph had made for her. Her neighbors

97
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 4: in Curiosity Cove were racing by to get last minute

98
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 4: ingredients for their Thanksgiving dinners, and seeing Ella's art brightened

99
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: up everyone's day. You were right, mom, People do like

100
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: my drawings and paintings.

101
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 2: Oh, I feel like a real artist.

102
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: You are a real artist because you are brave enough

103
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: to paint.

104
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: Ella.

105
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 5: You shared what was inside of you, and that's the

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 5: most important thing.

107
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: The other important thing is getting that easel. Do you

108
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: think I make enough by the end of the day?

109
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: Ella's mom stepped over to Ella's bright toy cash register

110
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: where Roe was keeping watch. She popped it open and

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: did a quick calculation. Ella, you're not going to believe this.

112
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: If we can make a few more sales, you'll be

113
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: able to get your easel and maybe even some new watercolors. Really, Mama,

114
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: that's amazing, and showing my art to the world.

115
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: Made me realize there's nothing to be afraid of.

116
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 4: I was a little disappointed when our neighbor picked up

117
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: my paper mache dog sculpture and then put it back

118
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: without buying it, but maybe it was just a little

119
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: too fancy for her. My heart won't be for everyone,

120
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 4: and that's okay.

121
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 5: I'm proud of you for realizing that.

122
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: Ella.

123
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 5: Some people still don't get Picasso, but it doesn't make

124
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 5: his work any less valid. Oh, I see someone who

125
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 5: does love your work, though, isn't that Leila?

126
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: Ella looked up and saw her terrifically talkative, extra excitable

127
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 4: bestie bouncing down the sidewalk toward them, But she could

128
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: immediately that something was wrong.

129
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: Does Layla look okatie?

130
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: You row?

131
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving is one of her favorite holidays.

132
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: She loves turkeys and the roquettes and watching in the

133
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: parade as much as I do.

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: Hmm, I wonder if something happened.

135
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: By the time Laila reached Ella and her parents, Ella

136
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: was absolutely convinced that something wasn't right. Layla's bright smile

137
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 4: was nowhere to be found, and it seemed like there

138
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: was a dark storm cloud right over her head. I'm

139
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: so glad you made it to Ella's art show today, Layla.

140
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: Is there anything we can help you with? Layla let

141
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: out a heavy sigh and sadly shook her head. I'm

142
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: here for you. If you ever want to talk. I

143
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: really hate when you look sad, Laila. You guys are

144
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: the best, but I don't think there's anything you can do.

145
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: I lost my helmet that perfectly matches my new bike,

146
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: and I need it to ride with my parents in

147
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: the Turkey trot tomorrow morning. You have to do the

148
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: Turkey trot you've been training for. You do it every year.

149
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: Well not this year.

150
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: I guess all of the stores and Curiosity Cover sold

151
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 4: out of every single kid's helmet. My mom even checked online,

152
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: but the website was down, and then she had to

153
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: get started on all of our yummy Thanksgiving treats. I

154
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: guess we'll just have to wait until next year. Oh,

155
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry to hear that, Laila. I know this

156
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: race is important to you, but maybe this year you

157
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: can start a new Thanksgiving tradition. Yeah maybe, Laila shrugged,

158
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: then stepped back to look at the last few pieces

159
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: of Ella's colorful art on the nearly empty table. I'm

160
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: really proud of you for doing this sale. Ella, I

161
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: know that everyone who bought something today is thankful that

162
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: they have a piece of your amazing art to brighten

163
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: up their homes. Ella hugged her friend and squeezed her

164
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: as tight as she could. Thanks, Leyla, I'm thankful I

165
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: have a friend as amazing and encouraging as you. And

166
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: don't worry. Maybe there will be a Thanksgiving miracle and

167
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 4: you'll find a way to do the turkey trot after all.

168
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 4: Laylah smiled hopefully, and Ella waved goodbye as she continued

169
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 4: on her way. When Ella turned around, she saw her

170
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 4: dad shake hands with the customer before letting out a

171
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: triumphant whoop wooo. What was that about?

172
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: Dad?

173
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 5: You did it, Ella, That last sale put you over

174
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 5: your goal and you can buy your fancy new easel.

175
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe it.

176
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: Today's sidewalks tomorrow the met Ellison's.

177
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: Paintings here we come.

178
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: Good job, Bro, I don't think we could have done

179
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: this without your bookkeeping. Ella joyfully started to gather up

180
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: her remaining pieces, but she felt the smile slowly sliding

181
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: down off of her face. What's wrong, Ella? You did

182
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 4: a really great job today and you should be.

183
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: Proud of yourself.

184
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: Mom, I need you to look something up for me.

185
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: I think I know what this is about. Ella's mom

186
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 4: pulled out her phone and did a quick search. A

187
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: moment later, she handed her phone to Ella. The website

188
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: is working again. My new easel is the ex exact

189
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: same price as Laylah's helmet if I order it right

190
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: now and use the super speedy overnight shipping.

191
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: But there's no way I can do that and get

192
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: my easel. Ella.

193
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 4: I know Layla is your friend, but you set a

194
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: goal and worked hard to get something that's important to you.

195
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 4: If you still want your easel, I think you should

196
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: get it, really, but Layla was super upset, and I

197
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: know what it's like to be disappointed when you can't

198
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: have something that.

199
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: You want soup bad.

200
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: I don't want one of my best used to be

201
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: sad when I can do something about it. You know,

202
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: sometimes life can be disappointing. But Laila will get through

203
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: this and she'll be your friend no matter what. Yeah,

204
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: you're right, but I think I want to help Layla

205
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: this time. She's been training for her Turkey trot way

206
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: longer than I've wonted that.

207
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Easel, and you guys are right. I have an easel

208
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: that works perfectly fine. I can save up and get

209
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: a new one some time.

210
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 5: Sacrificing for the people you care about can be hard,

211
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: but it's always worth it. In the end, it's important

212
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 5: that it comes from your heart and you have absolutely

213
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 5: no regrets.

214
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

215
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: I'm thankful for the easel I have, and for learning

216
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: that other people value my ard enough to pay for it.

217
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: But I'm most thankful that i have a great friend

218
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: like Layla. I want to help her have the best

219
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving ever. Then I'm ordering the helmet right now, fingers crossed.

220
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: It makes it to her before the race tomorrow. On

221
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving morning, the air was crisp in curiosity, cove bright

222
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 4: leaves swirled in the air, and the smell of turkey's

223
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: cooking wafted it through open windows. Ella and her parents

224
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: paced near the starting line of the Turkey Trot, hoping

225
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: that they'd see Layla with her shiny new helmet. Maybe

226
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: it didn't get there in time. I really wanted Laylah

227
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 4: to race.

228
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: Ella.

229
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: Look at this.

230
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: Ella lit up as laylahed toward her, proudly wearing her

231
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 4: shiny new bike helmet. This showed up at the crack

232
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: of dawn while my mom and dad were getting ready

233
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 4: for the Turkey Trot.

234
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: It says it's from you. How did you manage to

235
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: buy my helmet? And your new easel.

236
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: I didn't get my easel because it was more important

237
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: to me that you have a great race today. Ella,

238
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: you're the best bestie I could ever ask for.

239
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: Think you so so so much.

240
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: All right, turkey trotters, it's.

241
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: Time to race on your marks. Good set, gobble gobble.

242
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: Ella clapped her hands and cheered as Layla pedaled away

243
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 4: from the starting line as fast as she could. You

244
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: are right, Dad, Sacrifice can be hard, but the look

245
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 4: on Laylah's face made it all worth it. All right,

246
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: old Diesel, you're not retiring just yet. We've got some

247
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: floats to paint, and the ellis is still happening. Ella

248
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: grabbed her favorite brush and dipped it in the brightest

249
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 4: color as she began her work of art. She was

250
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 4: concentrating so hard on her new masterpiece that she didn't

251
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: notice her mom standing in the doorframe with a suspicious

252
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 4: package behind her back.

253
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: Ella, do you have a minute? Just the second, Mom?

254
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: The artist is at work and genius can't be stopped.

255
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: When Ella finally looked up, she was so shocked that

256
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: she almost dropped her paint brush.

257
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: Mama, is that the easel I wanted?

258
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: You sacrificed your hard earned money to buy Laylah her helmet.

259
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: So I sacrificed my dislike of shopping on busy holidays

260
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: to get this for you. I'm thankful that your dad

261
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 4: and I have such a talented, generous, brave little artist

262
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: with a heart as big as yours. You earn this easel,

263
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 4: and I know you're going to create amazing things with it.

264
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 4: Ella jumped up and gave her mom the biggest hug

265
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 4: she could. Thank you, Mom, You're the coolest patron of

266
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: the arts a girl can ask for. And this really

267
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: is the best Thanksgiving ever.

268
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: The end.

269
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 6: Wow, boy, did I learn so many important lessons on

270
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 6: that Thanksgiving, like believing in my art and knowing my

271
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 6: worth even if I'm not so sure how other people

272
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 6: will react to it, and the importance of generosity and

273
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 6: putting others first. You know, spending the holidays with friends

274
