1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories. Buckle up because you're about

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: to join Levi and Ivy on an adventure. All you

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: need is your imagination, and off we go, bby rare Stories.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Ivy and Levi rushed downstairs from their bedroom. They wore

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: green pjs and a giant smile on their faces. I

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: can't wait to see when he left us, exclaimed Levi.

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: I bet it's something green, giggled Ivy, or something gold.

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy stalked at the top of the stairs,

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: so excited to see what was waiting for them. But

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't Christmas, and it wasn't one of their birthdays.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: It was another special day, Saint Patrick's Day. Levi looked

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: at Ivy before they went any further and said, I

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: think it was a really good idea. You had to

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: not try and trap the leprechaun to get his gold,

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: but rather leave him a treat and a nice note

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: asking for him to share some of his gold. I'm

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: hoping a little bit of kindness works too, said Ivy.

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Do just think what we could get with a bunch

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: of gold coins. We could go to the new arcade

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: that opened down the street, said Levi. That would be amazing,

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: replied Ivy. Both Levi and Ivy had been waiting to

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: try out the new arcade, and they knew a few

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: gold coins from the Saint Patrick's day Leprechaun would mean

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: they could play all day. Levi and Ivy rushed down

25
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: the stairs as they heard their parents getting up, and

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: ran into the living room. Green clover decorations were taped

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: around the doorframe, and a bunch of green, white and

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: orange balloon floated around on the floor. But this year

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: something was a little different. Instead of the usual mess

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: the leprechaun would make as a way to say there's

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: no way you'd ever catch me and get my gold,

32
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: there is simply a teeny note on the coffee table

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: next to a small green velvet bag. The note said, hello,

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy. I wanted to say thank you so

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: much for being the only kids to ever ask me

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: to share my gold rather than setting out a trap

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: to get catch me and take it. It was so

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: kind of you and made me feel so wonderful. As

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: a thank you, I've left you both a few gold coins.

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: I know you'll use them to do something really fun,

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: maybe a few arcade games. Have a super Saint Patrick's Day,

42
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: your friend the Leprechaun. Levi and Ivy were jumping around

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: the living room as their parents walked in. Happy Saint

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day, you two, said their mom. What's so exciting.

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: They quickly showed their parents the note. It worked, asking

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: the leprechaun to share really worked, exclaimed Ivy. Wow that's amazing,

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: said their dad. But I'm not surprised. Kindness is always

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: the way to go. It was so nice of you

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: to do that, Levi and Ivy, said their mom, looking

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: very proud. You deserve those coins, and I bet I

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: know just where you'll use them. The arcade called out

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy together, Can we go today? Levies? Please please,

53
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: please please please, added Ivy. I would love to say yes,

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: but I invited Evie over as a special Saint Patrick's

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: Day surprise to play and make Saint Patrick's Day cookies.

56
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Evie was a good friend of Levi and Ivy's, and

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: even though they couldn't go to the arcade that day,

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: they were really excited to see Evie and of course

59
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: make cookies together. Tell you what, said their dad. We

60
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: can go to the arcade first thing tomorrow when they open.

61
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: Does that sound good? Both Levi and Ivy agreed that

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: was a great plan. Then they grabbed the small green

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: velvet bag and headed upstairs to get dressed and ready

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: for the day. In no time, Evie was there, and

65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: they couldn't wait to tell her about the leprechaun and

66
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: what he had left them. That's amazing, said Evie, holding

67
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: the coins in her hands. I woke up to a

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: few candies and a messy living room this morning, but

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: it was still fun. Levi, Ivy and Evie ran off

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: to play, and shortly after they were called into the

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: kitchen to make shamrock shaped cookies. After the cookies were

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: done baking, the kids got to decorate them with green

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: icing and tons of sprinkles, and they also got to

74
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: sample a few before they went back to plane. Time

75
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: always went by too fast. When Levi and Ivy had

76
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: a friend over, and before they knew it, Evie's mom

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: was there to pick her up. They decided to invite

78
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: eve to the arcade with them the next day, and

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Evie said she would meet them there when it opened.

80
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: After dinner, Levi and Ivy got ready for bed, super

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: excited for a fun day with Evie at the arcade.

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy fell asleep quickly after such a busy day,

83
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: but what they woke up to was nothing they could

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: have ever expected. The next morning, Levi walked into Ivy's room,

85
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: looking very confused. Ivy, wake up, said Levi's Ivy opened

86
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: her eyes. Do you remember me putting my green Saint

87
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day pajamas back on last night? No? You were

88
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: wearing your superhero pj's and I put on my Unicorn pjs,

89
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: said Ivy, hopping out of bed. Uh no, you didn't,

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: said Levi's sounding very confused. Ivy looked down and quickly

91
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: saw she was wearing her green, same Pan Patrick's Day

92
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: pajamas too. What's going on asked Ivy. I guess maybe

93
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: we could have been so tired from such a fun

94
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: day that we put these pajamas back on and forgot

95
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: about it. I guess it's possible, answered Levi as they

96
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: walked downstairs. Just then, their parents walked out of their bedroom,

97
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: and things got even weirder. Happy Saint Patrick's stay you too,

98
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: said their mom. Levi and Ivy didn't know what to

99
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: say or what was going on. Why aren't you two

100
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: already downstairs checking out what the leprechaun may have left you,

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: asked their dad. Leprechaun muttered Levi, But wasn't Saint Patrick's

102
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: day yesterday. Their parents looked a little surprised at the question,

103
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: thought Levi was just playing a joke on them. Let's

104
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: go downstairs, Levi whispered Ivy to her brother. Maybe we

105
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: can find some clues down there to explain what is

106
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: going on. But when they walked downstairs, they found exactly

107
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: what they had found the day before. They read the

108
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: note and looked in the small green velvet bag. However,

109
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: they weren't excited like yesterday, but rather very confused. Wow

110
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: that's amazing, said their dad. But I'm not surprised. Kindness

111
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: is always the way to go. It was so nice

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: of you to do that, Levi and Ivy, said their mom,

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: looking very proud. You deserve those coins, and I bet

114
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: you'll know just where to use them. Levi and Ivy

115
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: stared off into space, still trying to figure out what

116
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: was going on, before answering their mom. Yeah, we could

117
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: use them at the arcade, said Levi. But we can't

118
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: go there today because Evie is coming over to play

119
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and make Saint Patrick's Day cookies, added Ivy. Wait a minute,

120
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: said their mom, standing surprise. How did you know that

121
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be a surprise. I guess you

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: must have heard me talking to Evie's mom on the

123
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: phone the other day. Yeah. Uh, that's it, answered Ivy.

124
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy knew something strange was going on up

125
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: to their rooms to figure out what it was. Do

126
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: you think the leprechaom put a spell on the house,

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: asked Levi. And it'll be Saint Patrick's Day every day

128
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: for the rest of our lives, added Ivy. Oh no,

129
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: said Levi. No more birthdays, no more Halloween, no more

130
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: beach days. That would be terrible. But there has to

131
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: be something we could do about this, said Ivy. Maybe

132
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: we're just having a deja vous dejah. What what's that?

133
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: Asked Levi. It's when it feels like you've done something

134
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: before as you're doing it, answered Ivy. Yep, that's definitely

135
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: what this feels like, answered Levi. But I think if

136
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: we try to change our day, maybe we can get

137
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: out of this Saint Patrick's Day loop, suggested Ivy. Levi

138
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: said it was worth a try, and off they went.

139
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: To make some changes to their day. When Evy arrived,

140
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: they didn't tell her what was going on, but instead

141
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: just tried to play different games, talk about different things,

142
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: and even wear different clothes than they had the day before.

143
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: They made their share rock cookies, but Levi and Ivy

144
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: only ate one cookie instead of the two they had

145
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: the day before, thinking maybe that would work. But after

146
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: Evie left, they got ready for bed, fell asleep and

147
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: woke up to the same thing they had the last

148
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: two days, Saint Patrick's Day. Once again, they tried their

149
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: hardest to make this day different from the other two,

150
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: just hoping that it would get them out of their

151
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's de ja vu. Get it Saint Patrick's Day

152
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: ja vu. They didn't wear any green at all, They

153
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: did art with ev instead of playing games, They played

154
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: in their treehouse instead of riding bikes, and they didn't

155
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: put any green sprinkles on their shamrock cookies. But after

156
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Evie left, they got ready for bed, fell asleep and

157
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: woke up to the same thing they had the last

158
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: two days, Saint Patrick's Day. This is getting to be

159
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: a little exhausting, said Ivy to Levi. There has to

160
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: be something we can change that we keep overlooking, answered Levi.

161
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: After thank you for a minute, Ivy jumped up and exclaimed,

162
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the shamrock cookies. It's the only Saint Patrick's Day themed

163
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: activity we do with Evie. Maybe we should ask mom

164
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: to just make regular chocolate chip cookies today, right, answered Levi.

165
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: No green frosting, no green sprinkles, and no shamrock shape.

166
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: So that's exactly what they did. When it was time

167
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: to make the cookies, they told their mom all they

168
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: really wanted was chocolate chip cookies instead of the shamrock

169
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: sugar cookies. Evie loved any kind of cookie, so she

170
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: was fine with the decision. After they made the cookies,

171
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy looked at each other and smiled. They

172
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: really felt like this was the one thing that would

173
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: get them out of their Saint Patrick's de ja vous,

174
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: And like the last few days after Evie left, they

175
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: got ready for bed and fell asleep. But finally when

176
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: they woke up, it wasn't Saint Patrick's Day. They weren't

177
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: in green pajamas, Evie wasn't coming over to play, and

178
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: there was no small green a bag on the coffee

179
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: table in the living room. But there was something. It

180
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: was a teeny tiny envelope, and inside there was a note, Hello,

181
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy. I wanted to apologize for putting a

182
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: little spell on your house for the last few days.

183
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: I was the one behind your Saint Patrick's deja vu.

184
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: But once you took away the shamrock shaped cookies, you

185
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: took away the Saint Patrick's Day spirit, and the spell

186
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: was broken. It's just I've never had any kids try

187
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: to be nice to me on Saint Patrick's Day before,

188
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: and I really liked the way it felt. So selfishly,

189
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: I wanted to make it Saint Patrick's Day your house

190
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: all the time. I'm really sorry, and I hope you

191
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: can forgive me. I'll see you next year and have

192
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: fun at the arcade. Your friend the Leprechaun. Levi and

193
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Ivy quickly wrote a teeny tiny note back and left

194
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: it on the coffee table before they went into the

195
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: kitchen for breakfast. Their note said, Hello Leprechaun, no need

196
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: to be sorry at all. We feel bad this was

197
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: the first time you felt like someone was nice to you.

198
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: We're so happy you shared your coins with us, but

199
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: we don't need any gifts to be your friends. And

200
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: because of your kindness to us. We will always keep

201
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: the Saint Patrick's Day spirit in our hearts. We can't

202
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: wait to see you next year. Happy Saint Patrick's Day

203
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: to you your friends forever, Levi and Ivy. Okay you too.

204
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: It's time for the arcade, said their dad. After breakfast,

205
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: run upstairs and get dressed so we can go meet Evie.

206
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: As Levi and Ivy ran through the living room, they

207
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: noticed their note was gone and in its place set

208
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: two shamrock shaped cookies with green icing and tons of

209
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: green sprinkles. They smiled as they ate their cookies, knowing

210
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: exactly who had left them their friend the Leprechaun. Did

211
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: you learn a lesson from this story? Hey Yu? What

212
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: was it? And? Parents, do your kids have a story idea?

213
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Leave a comment on our Apple podcast review page with

214
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: five stars, the idea and your kid's name for a

215
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: chance to join Levi in Ivy on their next adventure.

216
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Until next time, Thanks for listening. Come back for more
