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, Rivy Larius Stories.

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: There was one more triangle shaped piece to add to

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: the castle Ivy and Levi were building together. They had

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: used every single magnetile in the bin and spent almost

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: the whole morning building a giant castle. The tall tower

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: of the castle was almost finished, and then their masterpiece

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: would be complete. They couldn't wait to show their mom

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: and dad. Here you go, Levi offered, handing the magnetitle

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: to Ivy. You can put the last piece on the

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: roof of the tower. The castle was so tall, Ivy

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: had to stand up to reach to the top. In

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: the process, her foot accidentally kicked at the bottom of

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: the castle, Posny to come crashing down to the floor.

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, Ivy exclaimed, I'm so sorry, Levi, our castle

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: is broken. Levi looked at the scattered pieces and disbelief

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: all their hard work was ruined. Feeling super bummed, Levi

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: I folded his arms across his chest and frowned. He

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: wanted to lash out at Ivy and say something mean,

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: but when he really stopped to think about it, he

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: realized it truly was an accident and could happen to anyone. Finally,

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: he mumbled, it's okay, Ivy, maybe we can build another

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: castle some other day. With that, Levi went to play

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: with his new soccer ball. Needed to be alone and

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: get some of his frustration out. He learned that going outside,

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: getting some fresh air and using up some of his

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: pent up energy really helped with feeling angry or upset.

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Feeling sad, Ivy went to her room to find something

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: else to do. Before long, she was happily playing with

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: her Barbie dreamhouse, having forgot all about the magnetile castle. First,

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: she had one Barbie doll slide down. The slippery slied

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: into the pool spash. She did this a few more times,

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: pretending she was at a pool party. Then she had

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: another Barbie ride up up up the elevator to the

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: very top of the dream house. Ivy pretended her barbiees

37
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: were having a tea party. She set up the tiny

38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: dishes on the tiny little table and carefully set her

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: dolls in place. A few moments later, Levi came into

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: the room with his soccer ball, in hand. What do

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: you do in, Ivy, he asked, using his knees to

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: bump the soccer ball up and down. He was getting

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: quite good at juggling the ball. I'm having a tea party,

44
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Ivy announced. Suddenly, Levi lost control of the ball and

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: it bounced into the Barbie dream House clash. The entire

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: house was knocked over, spilling the water from the pool

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: and ruining the tea party Ivy had so carefully set

48
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: up Levi. She yelled, look what you did. Instantly, Levi's

49
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: face and red when he saw what he'd done. He

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: ran to retrieve his ball and tried to help her

51
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: pick up the dream house. I'm sorry, Ivy, it was

52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: an accident. Get out, Ivy screamed, I don't need your help.

53
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: You ruined everything, but I Ivy Leevi, I tried to say,

54
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to. However, Ivy was just so upset

55
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: she wouldn't accept her brother's apology. In fact, she kicked

56
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Levi out of her room and told him to never

57
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: come back. Sadly, Levi took his ball and went outside

58
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: to play. Ivy managed to set up her Barbie Dreamhouse

59
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: again and spent the afternoon alone in her room. It

60
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: took a long time for her anger to subside. Every

61
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: time she thought about Levi, she felt mad all over again. Slowly,

62
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: the sun began to set and Ivy got bored playing

63
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: with Barbie's. She went to find her brother to see

64
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: if he wanted to play a board game. Nah, Levi said,

65
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't feel like playing a game. Come on, Levi.

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Ivy insisted it'll be fun. No thanks, Levi replied he

67
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: still felt hurt it how Ivy had treated him before.

68
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: If you won't play a game, I'm telling mom, Ivy announced.

69
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Running from the room, Levi followed his sister into the

70
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: living room. He heard Ivy saying LEVI won't play a

71
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: board game with me, and it's not fair. When his

72
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: mom turned to him, Levi explained his side of the story.

73
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: This morning, me and Ivy built a castle out of magnetiles.

74
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Ivy accidentally kicked it with her foot and it fell down.

75
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: I forgave her, even though I was mad, But when

76
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: I accidentally knocked her barbie dream House over, she yelled

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: at me to go away. That wasn't fair, mom. It

78
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: really hurt my feelings. That's why I don't want to

79
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: play a board game with her. The children's mom listened

80
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: carefully to both sides. Then she pulled them close and said,

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: have you two ever heard of the Golden Rule? Both

82
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: kids thought about it for a moment and then shook

83
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: their heads. Now well, their mom continued. The Golden rule

84
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: says to treat others kindly the same way you would

85
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: like to be treated. It goes like this, do unto

86
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: others as you would have them do unto you. The

87
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: kids repeated the Golden rule aloud. Then Ivy said, since

88
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: I want to play a board game, I think Levi

89
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: should want to play two. Ivy's mom smiled, that's not

90
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: quite what the Golden rule means. It's okay that Levi

91
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play the game right now, and as

92
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: long as he treats you kindly, he doesn't have to

93
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: play every time you ask. Then it was Levi's turn

94
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: to respond. I was nice to Ivy when she kicked

95
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: the castle over, even though I was bummed about it.

96
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: She should have to be nice to me when I

97
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: accidentally knocked over her Barbie dream house. That's right, their

98
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: mother said, gently. Do you see Levi's point, Ivy? I

99
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: guess so, she replied, A bit of grace goes a

100
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: long way. Their mother said, when someone gives you grace

101
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: for making a mistake, it's important for you to offer

102
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: grace when they make a mistake. Does that make sense?

103
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Ivy nodded, finally understanding what her mom was trying to say.

104
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: She stood up and hugged Levi and said, I am

105
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: sorry for getting so mad. I know you didn't mean

106
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: to knock over my dream house. Levi hugged his sister back,

107
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: picking her up off the floor and swinging her around

108
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: until she giggled, It's okay, sis, I forgive you now.

109
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: What board game do you want to play? Did you

110
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: learn a lesson from this story? Hey? Sout? What was it?

111
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,880
