Are you guys ready for today's 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: adventure about a baby unicorn that can't fly? Me too. 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: Let's go. One day, Eliana was sitting in her room 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: reading about how to fly. She was a baby unicorn. 19 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: It hadn't learned how to fly yet, but she was 20 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: reading as much as she could, trying to get it 21 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: perfectly right. All right, So if I flap my wings 22 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: like this, and I hold my tail like that and 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: then maybe this will happen and it will never work. 24 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: You see, Eliana, what's a unicorn and unicorns you can't fly? Right? Yeah, 25 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: well they have to learn how to fly, and she 26 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: hadn't learned yet. But something that she was really focused on. 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: She was really focused on, um, learning to do it 28 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: perfectly and not make any mistakes. But do you know 29 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: something very interesting. She hadn't even tried yet. She was 30 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: trying to learn in her head how to do it perfectly, 31 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: so that the first time that she tried, she would 32 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: do it right. But she hadn't tried yet. But don't worry. 33 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 1: By the end of the story, something amazing is going 34 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: to happen. All right, this is not working. I need 35 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: to talk to an expert. You need to find someone 36 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: who can teach me the perfect way to fly the 37 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: very first time, because there's no way I'm making any 38 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: mistakes with this, said Eliana. She put on her shoes 39 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: and off she walked. Remember, most unicorns can fly, but Elana, 40 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: she had to walk. So she walked up a mountain. 41 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: She had heard of a very old wizard, a wizard 42 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: that was an expert in flying, lived high up in 43 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: this mountain, she was going to go talk to him. 44 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: I just have to find the perfect way. He don't 45 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: like making mistakes. I have to do it right the 46 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: first time, or maybe someone will laugh at me. Have 47 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: you ever felt that way before? Like you have to 48 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: do it perfect the first time and or else maybe 49 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: someone will laugh. Yeah, me too. I hope Eliana figures 50 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: this out. As she continued walking up the trail, she 51 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: dreamed of flying. She said, Man, I wish I could fly. 52 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: It's so easier to go up this mountain if I 53 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,279 Speaker 1: could fly up it instead of walk. You see unicorns, 54 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: They have four legs and four hoofs, kind of like 55 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: a horse, and it was hard to climb up a 56 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: mountain with those hoofs. Unicorns were not made and built 57 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: to walk up a mountain like that. They were made 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: to fly up the mountain. So it took Eliana a very, 59 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: very long time to get up this mountain. As she 60 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: passed different creatures along the way up the mountain, some 61 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: of the creatures were a little confused why the unicorn 62 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: was walking. Oh hello, there, said a blue jay. Um, 63 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: uh do you are? Are you okay? Said the blue jay? Oh, yes, 64 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine. I'm just going to find the old 65 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: wizard that lives up this mountain, said Eliana. Oh, well, 66 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: why don't you just fly up there like me? Look, 67 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: you just you have wings just like me fly said 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: the blue jay. Ah, that's cool that you can fly. 69 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: I wish I can do that sometime. But I haven't 70 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: learned how to do that yet. Well just just try. 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: Can you flap your wings really fast? I bet it 72 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: all work, said the blue jay. No, I don't want 73 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: to try that yet. I want to make sure that 74 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: I do it perfectly the first time, said Eliana. Okay, well, 75 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: good luck. Bang blue jay took off flying. Oh I 76 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: wish I could fly like a blue jay, said Eliana. 77 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: She continued walking and hiking up the mountain. Oh boy, 78 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: this is getting hot. It was a really hot day. 79 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: And then she saw another creature. Oh hello, it was 80 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: a ginormous eagle. Hello there, Hi, my name is Elihanna. 81 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: What's what's your name? My name is Edgar? Oh hi, Edgar. Uh, 82 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: you must be a really good flyer. Can you tell 83 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: me your secrets? Oh? Of course, will you just have 84 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: to believe in you just flap your wings and oh well, 85 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: I don't really remember how I learned. I just I 86 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: just now flap my wings. Have have you ever tried 87 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: flapping your wings, little girl, said Edgar? Well not yet. 88 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: I I just want to make sure that I I 89 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: totally understand everything before I try flapping my wings. Okay, well, 90 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: good luck to you. I hope you figure it out, 91 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: because flying is the best thing in the whole wide world. 92 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: And off flew Edgar the eagle. Ellie Hanna started the 93 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: thing to herself. Maybe I should just try. I don't know. 94 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: I really don't want that eagle the blue jay to 95 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: laugh at me if I don't do it right the 96 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: first time. Ah, I don't know what to do. I 97 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: just got to talk to this wizard. Zaliana finally made 98 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: it up to the top of the mountain. She saw 99 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: the wizard there. Hello, was Mr Wizard. My name is Eliana. 100 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: I really need help flying. Could you teach me everything 101 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: you know? Oh? Of course I can. But all right, well, 102 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: come sit down. Eliana sat down and took out a 103 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: piece of paper and a pencil and started to write 104 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: everything down that the wizard was talking. All right, well, 105 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: the first thing that you need to do is is 106 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: just trying to fly and see if it works. Okay, uh, 107 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: but what what do I do to make sure I 108 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: I fly the first time? That perfectly, said Eliana. Well 109 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: I can't promise you that, said the wizard. But after 110 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: you try the first time, then you'll make a mistake, 111 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: and that's normal. But then you'll be able to correct 112 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: that mistake. But without you trying the first time, I 113 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: won't know what it is that we need to fix. 114 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: That's just a part of the process, said the wizard. 115 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: You mean you have to try it without knowing exactly 116 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: how it's gonna happen perfectly, said Eliana. Oh you mean 117 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: you haven't tried yet, said the wizard. No, but do 118 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: you promise you won't laugh, said Eliana. Oh of course 119 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: I won't laugh, said the wizard. Eliana stretched out and 120 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: took a big, deep breath. She one two three started 121 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: flapping her wings as fast as she could, trying to 122 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: think about everything she had learned in all her books, 123 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: and she got a little off the ground and then 124 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: crashed back down. Oh no, it didn't work. My life 125 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: is over. Elihanna started to cry. She thought she would 126 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: never learn how to fly because she tried everything that 127 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: she could that she learned. Oh that is a great job. 128 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: Look at what you did, said the wizard. You got 129 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: very high off the ground the very first time, much 130 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: better than my first try. You mean you didn't fly 131 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: your first time, said Alanna. Oh why, oh, definitely not. 132 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: It took me a very long time. But you see, 133 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: you're so close. You just need to adjust your tail 134 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: a little bit to the right and then it's going 135 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: to work. Try again. Eliana stretched out and sort of 136 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: flapper wings as fast that she couldn't move her tail 137 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: to the right, and she got a little higher off 138 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:16,359 Speaker 1: the ground and then she's flying. I did it. Great job, Elianna, 139 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: said the wizard. And that is the day that Eliana 140 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: the baby Unicorn finally learned to fly. Have you ever 141 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: felt nervous about trying something for the first time? Oh? Yes, 142 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: me too. And so Eliana she was so worried about 143 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: having to do it perfect the first time, it stopped 144 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: her from even trying. And so if you ever feel 145 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: that way, if you ever feel like, I don't know 146 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: if I'll do it right, you have to try the 147 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: first time and then learn from the mistake, and then 148 00:09:51,360 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: you will fly just like Eliana the end. Great job. 149 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: You listen all the way to the ending. You know 150 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: what tomin is, It's time for kid shout out.
