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 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: on an adventure. All you need is your imagination an

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: off we go, Oh rebby Laris Stories.

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: Dad, are you in here?

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: Levi called out as he ran into the house, I

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 2: want to practice some goal kicks before dinner. Levi had

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: just started playing soccer.

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: He really liked it, and he was getting pretty good

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: at it too.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: But more than that, he loved playing it with his

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: friends and just having fun. However, there was one person

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: who liked it more than he did, actually a lot more.

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 2: It was Levi's dad. He loved soccer, and once he

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: heard Levi was interested in playing, he did everything he

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: could to help him out.

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: He bought him the best cleats, the.

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Nicest shin guards, and the coolest looking soccer ball. Levi's

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: dad even put a soccer goal in the backyard and

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: marked up the grass with spray paint to form the

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: lines that would be on a soccer field. Levi thought

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: it was pretty awesome, but his mom didn't think their

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: backyard was the best place for a soccer stadium. However,

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: she knew Levi really liked soccer, so she let it go. Hey, buddy,

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: I'm all set for some soccer practice too, called back

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: Levi's dad as he stepped into the kitchen in full

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: soccer gear. He even had a shiny metal whistle around

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: his neck, just like Levi's coaches were.

29
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you look ready for the.

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 3: World Cup, dad giggled Levi.

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 2: I thought we were just gonna kick the ball around

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: a little bit before dinner.

33
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Sure we could do that, but wouldn't it.

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Be better if we took your soccer ball career you know,

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more seriously, asked Levi's dad as he

36
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: bounced the soccer ball on his knee.

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: We can run some.

38
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: Dribbling and kicking drills and then do some work on

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 2: your throw ins and then move on to oh, learning

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: the perfect corner kick my soccer career, Levi said, in

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: a confused tone. I thought I was just playing to

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: have some fun with my friends and get some exercise.

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: I like soccer, but I thought it was just a sport.

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, Levi, it give me so much more, replied

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: Levi's dad. If you practice really hard, play on a

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: few different competitive teams, and really focus all your energy

48
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: on it, you could be an amazing soccer player. Oh

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: my energy on soccer, Levi thought to himself as he

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: listened to his dad, who was getting more excited the

51
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: longer he talked. You could play all through high school,

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: get a full scholarship to college, and then become.

53
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: A world famous soccer player.

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: Levi's dad beamed. Just imagine that. It would be incredible. Sure, Dad,

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: that all sounds great, said Levi as he followed his

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: dad outside.

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: Come on, buddy, let's go outside.

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: We can get started.

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Now, have dinner, then head back out for a little

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: while before you have to get ready for bed, said

61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: Levi's dad. You have a game tomorrow, so you need

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: your rest. Levi smiled and grabbed a soccer ball, but

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: he wasn't really exactly being truthful with his dad. He

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: loved how excited his dad got about him playing soccer,

65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: but lately it was.

66
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Getting to be a little bit too much.

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: When Levi first started playing, his dad would kick the

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: ball around with him in their backyard for a little

69
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: bit and then they'd move on to something else. But

70
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: the longer he played and the better his dad saw

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: him get, the more he wanted Levi to concentrate only

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: on soccer, Levi.

73
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: I didn't want to disappoint his dad.

74
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: So he went along with the soccer goal in the backyard,

75
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: the dribbling drills and hopes of college scholarships. I kind

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: of wish I hadn't asked to practice goalkicks, mumbled Levi

77
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: as he walked outside behind his dad.

78
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: What'd you say, Levi asked his dad with a smile.

79
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: Oh nothing, Dad.

80
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: Just saying how I can't wait to get to those goalkicks,

81
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: said Levi with a half smile. They practiced before dinner,

82
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: and they practiced after dinner. Levi did great as all ways,

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: while his dad cheered him on and encouraged him through

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: every drill and skilled they were. Levi's dad could see

85
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: the potential in his son, but because that's all he

86
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: was focused on, he didn't see what was truly important,

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: the fact that Levi wasn't happy. LEVI used to love

88
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: playing soccer for fun, but now it seemed more like

89
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: a job than anything else. You did amazing tonight, Levi,

90
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: said his dad, giving him a pat on the back.

91
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see how great you do in

92
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: the game tomorrow. Have a good night's sleep, buddy, Thanks dad,

93
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: replied Levi as he got ready for bed. After he showered,

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: got in his pj's, and brushed his teeth, he climbed

95
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: into bed, and that's when Ivy walked into his room.

96
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: There he is the family soccer star.

97
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 3: Said Ivy, jumping on the bed next to her brother.

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: Are you all set for your game tomorrow? I guess so,

99
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: Levi said, in a huff. For someone who loves soccer

100
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: as much as you do, you don't seem too excited,

101
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: said Ivy.

102
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: That's just it.

103
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't love soccer, said Levi. Well, I mean I do,

104
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: just not as much as Dad does. He makes every

105
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 2: game seem like the World Cup Championship, and I just

106
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: want to have fun with my friends. Tomorrow's game isn't even.

107
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: That big of a deal.

108
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: It's just a regular game.

109
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: Sorry, Levi. Maybe you should just tell daddy's putting a

110
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: little too much pressure on you, suggested Ivy. That's a

111
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: good solution to this problem. But I don't want to

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: make him feel bad, said Levi. I just wish he

113
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: would understand that the more he makes soccer a job,

114
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: the less I want to play.

115
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: But how will you ever know unless you tell him?

116
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: Asked Ivy, I may be little, but I have some

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: good ideas. Ivy said good night to Levi and headed

118
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 2: off to bed. Levi just sat in his room thinking

119
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: about what she'd said. It sounded easy enough. Just tell

120
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: his dad just stop pushing him so hard to excel

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: in soccer. Tell him how much he wished it could

122
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: be like the days when they had first started playing,

123
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: when kicking the ball around with his dad was something

124
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: he looked forward to, when soccer was just a game

125
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: he played for fun. Just as Levi was about to

126
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: call his dad into his room, he showed up in

127
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: his doorway. Hey, buddy, I was thinking, Why don't you

128
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: try for four goals tomorrow? Asked his dad. That would

129
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: be your personal best. Doesn't that sound great? Sure, Dad,

130
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: four goals great, said Levi.

131
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: That's the spirit, buddy.

132
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to seeing another amazing game from

133
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: you tomorrow. I wouldn't expect anything less, said his dad,

134
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: as he turned out Levi's bedroom light and headed off

135
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: to bed. The next morning, Levi woke up to his

136
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: dad standing over his bed, Rise and shine, soccer star,

137
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: he exclaimed.

138
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: Time to get ready for your game.

139
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: Get ready for my game. But it's seven point thirty.

140
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: Dad, my game isn't until ten o'clock, said Levi, pulling

141
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: the covers up around his head. I know, buddy, but

142
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: I thought we could get to the field extra early,

143
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: you know, get a little extra practice him before the game,

144
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: said his dad, what do you think?

145
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I guess?

146
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: So, Levi said, you guess?

147
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: So that doesn't sound like my soccer star talking, replied

148
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: his dad. Let's have some enthusiasm. I'll see you downstairs

149
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: in five minutes. Levi's dad ran out of the room

150
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: and Levi sat in bed, staring at the ceiling for

151
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: a bit. He finally got up, put on his soccer

152
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: uniform and went downstairs. Ready, dad, he said in a

153
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: less than excited voice. Levi's dad had been dressed for

154
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: quite a while and had already eaten breakfast. He told

155
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: Levi that he could eat something in the car and

156
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: hurried him outside. They got to the field and of

157
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: course no one was there. Levi's dad made Levi run

158
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 2: their usual drills and do some laps around the field

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: as well.

160
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: He ran right along with them, encouraging him the whole way.

161
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: But what Levi really needed was for his dad to

162
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: understand that this wasn't the way he wanted to play soccer. Finally,

163
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: the rest of Levi's team started to show up and

164
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: they started to practice together. Levi looked tired and was

165
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: ready to sit down, but his dad cheered him on

166
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: from the sidelines, even during the team practice before the game.

167
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: The game started and Levi was yawning at midfield as

168
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: a soccer ball sailed over his head.

169
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Levi, buddy, you've got to get that ball.

170
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: Shouted Levi's dad. Levi chased after the ball, but made

171
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: one mistake after another because he was so tired and

172
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: a little upset about the situation with his dad.

173
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: I should have just told him how I was feeling.

174
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: Levi thought to himself.

175
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: As he ran down the field. He took a few

176
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: kicks at the goal, but missed every single one. Come on, Levi,

177
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: you've got this, shouted his dad. Remember we're looking for

178
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: four goals today. At the half, Levi's dad walked over

179
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: to talk with him. What's going on, buddy, you don't

180
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: seem like yourself out there, said his dad. Oh it's nothing,

181
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: just a little tired. I guess I'll do better next half,

182
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 2: said Levi, wanting to say more knowing he didn't have

183
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: enough time to talk with his dad right then about

184
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: how he was really feeling. Okay, well, we still have

185
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: some times to score four goals if we really hustle,

186
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: he said to Levi, before correcting himself.

187
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you still have time to score four goals.

188
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: It was just then that Levi's dad looked at Levi and,

189
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: for the first time in a little while, finally understood

190
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: how he was feeling.

191
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: Levi gave his dad a little smile, and the whistle blue.

192
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: Starting the second half of the game, Levi I ran

193
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: out to the field, looking slightly less enthusiastic than he

194
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: had for.

195
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: The first half.

196
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: The second half went by pretty quickly, and at the

197
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: end of the game, Levi hadn't scored one goal. His teammates, however,

198
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: had and they won the game. Levi should have been

199
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: excited and celebrated with his friends, but instead he gathered

200
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: up his things and walked to the car.

201
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: His dad followed behind him.

202
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: Hey, buddy, what's up.

203
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: Why aren't you celebrating with your friends, said his dad.

204
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: I'm just feeling a little tired from our early practice,

205
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: said Levi. And I know you usually to have an

206
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: afternoon practiced after I have games, so I thought it

207
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: would be best to just head back to the car. Hey, buddy,

208
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: Levi's dad began, is there something that you'd like to

209
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: tell me?

210
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: Levi.

211
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: I knew this was his opportunity to finally tell his

212
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: dad how he was feeling, and that's just what he did.

213
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: Even though he knew it may disappoint his dad. He

214
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: knew that he would want him to be honest rather

215
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: than doing something just to make him happy. Dad, I

216
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: don't love soccer as much as you do.

217
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: I just want to play with my friends and have fun.

218
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry.

219
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: I didn't want to disappoint you, but I just had

220
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: to tell you the truth, said Levi as he looked

221
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: down at the ground. Levi's dad put his arm around

222
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: his son.

223
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: Levi.

224
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I let my excitement for soccer get

225
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: in the way of what's truly important, and that's you

226
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: having fun. That's what this game is truly all about.

227
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Levi was so excited to hear his dad say that,

228
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: he smiled for the first time all day and gave

229
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: his dad a huge hug. I'm saying that I don't

230
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: want to play soccer anymore, said Levi quickly. I just

231
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: don't want it to feel like a job anymore. I

232
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 2: understand you completely, said his dad. How about instead of

233
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: an extra afternoon practice, we go grab some ice cream

234
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 2: with Ivy and mom?

235
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: Levi I loved that idea.

236
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: As Levi, his mom, dad, and Ivy sat down to

237
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: enjoy some ice cream, Ivey mentioned that she was really

238
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 2: interested in joining her town's basketball league. I heard it's

239
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: really fun and a lot of my friends play, said

240
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: Ivy with a smile. Basketball, exclaimed Ivy's dad. I love basketball,

241
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: and with your height and natural athletic ability.

242
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: Ivy, I think you could be amazing.

243
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: When we get home, how about we do some drills

244
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 3: in the driveway. Just think about it.

245
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: If you put in a little extra work, you could

246
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: be the next great basketball superstar. Just then, Levi put

247
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: his hand on his dad's shoulder. Or maybe she could

248
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: just have fun playing basketball with her friends, Levi said,

249
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: you know what, Levi said his dad, I think that's.

250
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: An evil A better idea?

251
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: Did you learn a lesson from this story?

252
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: A south? What was it?

253
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: And parents, do your kids have a story idea? Leave
