WEBVTT - 14. Levi gets TRAPPED!

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories.

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Buckle up because you're about to join Levi and Ivy

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 2>on an adventure.

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>All you need is your imagination, and off we go,

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Privy Rare Stories. Levi, can you get the mail please?

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>His mom asked.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 2>She was busy making dinner, and Levi was playing a

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 2>game on his iPad. When he didn't answer, his mom

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 2>asked again, LEVI, can you please go get the mail?

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Dinner is almost ready.

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Without hearing what his mom said, Levi answered, uh, sure, Mom.

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>He was so wrapped up in his game he didn't

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>go get the mail. At dinner, Levi hid the iPad

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 2>on his lap under the table. When his family wasn't looking,

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 2>he played silently.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>In between bites. What did you learn at school today?

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Anything exciting? His dad asked, looking around the table. Ivy

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 2>answered right away. We learned about the planets. There used

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 2>to be nine, but now there are eight. Pluto is

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 2>a planetoid.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Hmm.

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Ivy's dad replied, I still like to think of Pluto

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>as a planet, Poor little Pluto. Ivy giggled at her

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>dad's response, thinking of the little round planet with a

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>sad face, feeling all lonely in the solar system. Turning

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to Levi, their dad said, what about you? Did you

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>learn anything fun today? Levi looked up quickly, hoping to

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>hide the fact that he was playing his game.

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I am well, I learned.

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Because Levi was so distracted he couldn't remember what he

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>learned at school that day. His parents put two and

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>two together. Hand it over, his mom said, holding out

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>her hand.

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Aw Levi pouted.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Reluctantly, handing his iPad to his mom. She put it

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 2>on the counter and came back to the table. You

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 2>know the rules, Levi. No iPads at the table, she reminded.

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Levi nodded, remembering very well of the family rules. Dinner

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 2>was a time for catching up with each other and

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>sharing all about their day. Still, he wished she could

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>play on the iPad all day and all night. It

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>was so much fun. No more iPads for the rest

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>of the day, his mom said firmly. Later that night,

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>when the kids were supposed to be looking at books

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>before bed, Levi was pretending to read while secretly playing

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>on his iPad he'd grabbed off the counter after helping

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>with the dishes. Coming into his room to say good night,

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 2>his mom saw the iPad sticking out from the pages

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>of the book Levi was pretending to read. Taking it

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>from him, she said, if you keep playing on that

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>thing without taking a break, you will get stuck inside.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Cool Levi replied, I would love to get stuck inside

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>one of my games. That would be super fun. Tucking

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 2>him into bed and kissing him good night, she informed

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>him he was not allowed to play the iPad for

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the week. Mom He complained, what was

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.959
<v Speaker 2>he going to do all weekend without his games? As

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>he tried to fall asleep, he envisioned being stuck inside

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>his iPad, coming a character in his favorite game and

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>going on all kinds of adventures. I would fight the

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 2>dragon and win, he imagined. I would use my superpowers

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>to jump over the castle and avoid the dragon's fireballs.

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>He thought of adventure after adventure as he finally drifted

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>off to sleep. The next day was Saturday, and without

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the iPad, Levi quickly grew bored. He already done his chores,

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>cleaning his room, vacuuming the living room, and taking out

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the trash. Ivy was playing with her baby dolls, which

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>sounded super boring. He wandered around the backyard for a

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>little while. Then he went to the family room to

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>watch TV. As he laid on the couch flipping through

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the channels, something on the shelf caught his eye. It

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>was the iPad, So that's where Mom put it, he

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>thought to himself. Carefully climbing on one of the chairs,

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Levi was able to reach the iPad and soon get

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>lost in his game. He played and played without a

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>care in the world, as he he had a strange

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 2>sensation come over him, a whirling and twhirling sensation that

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>made him feel dizzy. Then, as the room started to spin,

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Levi got sucked inside the iPad.

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Ah, he yelled.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 2>As he peered out from the other side of the screen.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>He could see the family room from where the iPad

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>laid on the couch he was stuck inside.

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>He panicked.

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Mom was right, he said, aloud, I played too long

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and now I'm stuck in here forever. Help help, he yelled,

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 2>hoping someone would hear him. However, with Ivy busy playing

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>in her room and Dad busy working on something in

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the garage, no one was even close enough to hear

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 2>poor Levi.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Calling for help.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>While inside the iPad, Levi tried to have fun like

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>he did vision the night before, but it wasn't fun

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>at all. His video game character, a young Knight, kept

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>running in circles and going nowhere.

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Being stuck in the iPad was miserable. Help Help.

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Levi continued to holler. After what seemed like forever, he

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>heard his mom in the distance calling his name.

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Levi, what are you up to?

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Then he heard his sister calling for him too, LEVI,

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 2>come out, come out wherever you are. She thought he

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 2>was playing hide and seek. Finally, Levi heard his dad

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 2>join in, Hey, Levi, where are you buddy? We're starting

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 2>to worry about you. The family searched high and low,

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>coming in and out of the family room, not noticing

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 2>the iPad laying on the couch.

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>They looked in his.

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Bedroom, outside, and everywhere they could think of. Coming together.

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 2>In the family room, Levi I heard his mom say,

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 2>where could he be? I'm really starting to get worried.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>It was at that moment that Levi shouted at the

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>top of his lungs.

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Help, I'm in here. I'm stuck in the iPad. Ivy

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.039
<v Speaker 1>was the first to hear him.

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 2>She grabbed the iPad and saw Levi's panicked face on

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the screen. Look, she cried, handing it to her dad. Levi,

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>she said, super worried. How on earth did you get

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>in there? I don't know, Levi answered miserably. This was

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>the exact thing his mom had warned him about. I

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>told you this would happen, she said. There has to

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>be a way out. Think, LEVI think. Levi thought about

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 2>his mom's warning from the night before. He should have

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>listened to her. It wasn't healthy spending too much time

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>on the iPad. It distracted him from more important things,

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 2>like spending time with his family, playing outside, and reading

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>interesting books. At that moment, Levi made a decision. From

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.840
<v Speaker 2>now on, I won't sneak around to play the iPad.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I'll find fun things to do. I don't ever want

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to be stuck in here again. As he spoke those words,

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Levi felt the familiar swirling and twirling that he'd felt earlier.

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>In an instant, he was back in the family room

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 2>with his sisters and parents.

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Levi.

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>They shouted, hugging him to lightly. I'm so sorry, Levi said,

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>in between high fives and hugs. From now on, I

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>will practice self control, and from that day on, Levi

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I kept his promise. He enjoyed playing on the iPad

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 2>for a short bursts of time while also having so

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>much fun with his family and friends.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>After all, he realized that people were much.

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>More important than video games.

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you learn a lesson from this story? A sou

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>what was it? And parents, do your kids have a

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>story idea?
