It 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: was advertising a kid's baking competition that would be taking 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: place in their town the following week. It was being 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: run by a new bakery that had just opened up 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 2: in town called Sweetcake's Bakery.

Once they walked out 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: of their classrooms, they ran right over to each other, 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: one more excited than the other. LEVI did you get 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: the flyerxclaimed Ivy as she waved the piece of paper 21 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: in front of her. 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: Brother, you bet I did, answered Levi. 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: We will be an unstoppable baking team and win the 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: competition for sure. 25 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: That's right, added Ivy. 26 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: We'll take home the title and all those sweet treats 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 2: if we just make my world famous. But what Levi 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: said next was not what Ivy expected to hear. Very proudly, 29 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: Levi nodded with his head before blurting out chocolate cake, 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: as Ivy said, chocolate chip cookies. 31 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: What did you say? 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: Asked Ivy, looking very confused. 33 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: After all, she felt that her chocolate chip cookies. 34 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: Were the best sweet treat ever made, and there was 35 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: no way they could lose if they made those What. 36 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Did I say?

Asked Levi, sounding confused. 37 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: My chocolate cake recipe is the best ever. 38 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: There's no sweet treat out there that could beat it, 39 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: not even your silly cookies. Of course, Ivy did not agree. 40 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: She folded her arms and stared at her brother, looking 41 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: very upset. The only way we're baking together is if 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: we're making my cookies, said Ivy in a stern voice. 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: The only way we're baking together is if we're making 44 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: my chocolate. 45 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Cake, replied Levi. 46 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: Fine, then I guess we're not baking together, said Ivy 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: as she turned in a huff and walked over to 48 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: her friend Layla. I guess we're not, agreed Levi as 49 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: he walked over to his friend Timmy. Hi, Layla, did 50 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: you hear about the baking competition? Asked Ivy answered Layla 51 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: with a big smile. Becky and I are going to 52 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: be a team and make her mom special key lime 53 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: pie recipe. 54 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: It's so good, oh, said Ivy, sounding disappointed. Okay, good luck. 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: Just as she was finding out Layla wasn't available to 56 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: be her partner, Levi was finding out the same thing 57 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: from his friend Timmy. Oh you're already teaming up with Brian. 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: That's cool, goodluck, said Levi to Timmy as he turned 59 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: around with a frown on his face. This happened over 60 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: and over as Levi asked the re more friends, and 61 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: so did Ivy. After a few minutes, they met back 62 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: up in the hallway ready to head home. 63 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't find anyone else to team up with, said Ivy. 64 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Me neither, added Levi. 65 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: It looks like we'll have to work together if we 66 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: want to compete, said Ivy. But I just don't know 67 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 2: how Levi and Ivy walked home from school in silence. 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: When they got there, they walked into the kitchen and 69 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: told their mom about the problem. 70 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: They were happy. 71 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: I know we'd win with my chocolate chip cookies, said Ivy, 72 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 2: pleading her case. But cookies are so simple, My chocolate 73 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: cake would for sure be the big winner, said Levi. 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: We asked, all our friends are ready, and they're already 75 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: working with other people. So if we want to compete 76 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: in the baking competition, we have to work together side Ivy. 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy both looked pretty upset, but their mom 78 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: knew just what to do. Hey, you too, this is 79 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: not like you at all. Every time we bake together, 80 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: you're both so happy, she began, Right now, you look 81 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: pretty sad, and you know you can't bake sweet trees 82 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: if you're in a bad mood.
