Speaker 2: Dot com or just click on the link in our
Speaker 2: show notes. Enough about that, let's get too today's super
Speaker 2: Live Ay Lewis story.
Speaker 1: The story you're about to enjoy was inspired by Miss Purple.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your amazing idea. Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy jumped out of bed on a chilly fall morning
Speaker 1: and couldn't get ready for the day fast enough. They
Speaker 1: changed up, quickly, brushed their teeth, and ran downstairs. And
Speaker 1: their excitement wasn't because it was Saturday, or that it
Speaker 1: was almost Halloween, or that they were having pancakes for breakfast.
Speaker 1: They were beyond excited that morning because it marked the
Speaker 1: opening of a new store in their town, a store
Speaker 1: that had been waiting for them since they saw the
Speaker 1: sign go up a few months ago, a store that sold.
Speaker 2: Nothing but candy.
Speaker 1: Candy, candy, shouted Levi as he ran into the kitchen,
Speaker 1: sliding across the floor in his socks and bumping into
Speaker 1: his dad.
Speaker 2: I hardly slept.
Speaker 1: Last night because I was thinking about all the different
Speaker 1: kinds of candy that I need to get today, said
Speaker 1: Ivy as she grabbed a pancake from a plate by
Speaker 1: the stove. We should probably eat these in the car
Speaker 1: and get going before all the candy is gone. Good idea,
Speaker 1: said Levi as he quickly drank the glass of orange
Speaker 1: juice that was on the kitchen table. It was then
Speaker 1: that their parents knew they had to step in or
Speaker 1: they would have a full on candy catastrophe on their hands.
Speaker 1: First of all, good morning, and second we're sitting down
Speaker 1: to have breakfast together, and then we can go to
Speaker 1: the new candy store, said Levi, and Ivy's mom trying
Speaker 1: to calm her kids down.
Speaker 2: But it's not just a candy store, began Ivy.
Speaker 1: It's a King Candy store, which means it only carries
Speaker 1: King Candy, the best candy.
Speaker 2: Ever on planet Earth.
Speaker 1: Maybe even the whole galaxy, added Levi. I mean they
Speaker 1: haven't really done much candy research in outer space. Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad began to laugh, delighted by his kids
Speaker 1: energy and enthusiasm. He loved candy too, and had to
Speaker 1: admit he was really excited when he heard that a
Speaker 1: King Candy store was moving into their town. Kiddos, we
Speaker 1: will get to the candy store, I'm sorry, King Candy
Speaker 1: Store this morning, and you will have more than enough.
Speaker 2: Candy to choose from, said Levi and Ivy's dad.
Speaker 1: I passed by there the other day and there were
Speaker 1: giant trucks outside, all filled with candy, so I don't
Speaker 1: think they'll be running out soon. I saw those trucks
Speaker 1: too a few days ago when we were riding to school,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. Giant trucks in the classic blue and purple
Speaker 1: King Candy colors, filled with all my favorite candies, like
Speaker 1: King Colossal Chocolate Bars, King Chocolate Caramel Twisters, and King
Speaker 1: Purple Lunar lollipops, added Levi. How can we possibly wait
Speaker 1: another second, declared Ivy.
Speaker 2: We need to leave right now, kids.
Speaker 1: They won't be open for another two hours, said Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy's mom reassuring her kids that they wouldn't be
Speaker 1: missing anything at the candy store if they sat down
Speaker 1: and ate breakfast. I couldn't even think about eating right now,
Speaker 1: said Levi. Oh no, do you not feel well, asked
Speaker 1: Levi's dad.
Speaker 2: What I feel fine? Oh I can't.
Speaker 1: Think of eating right now because I need to save
Speaker 1: room for all that King candy, said Levi. Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy's parents finally got their kids to sit down and
Speaker 1: eat something before they ran off to their playroom. Once
Speaker 1: they're Levi and Ivy looked at two maps. They were maps.
Speaker 1: They had created a King Candy store just from looking
Speaker 1: in the windows. As the store was getting put together.
Speaker 1: They had mapped out where all of their favorite candies
Speaker 1: were so they could run in and get exactly what
Speaker 1: they were looking for before it was all gone. You see,
Speaker 1: everyone in town was excited for the new candy store,
Speaker 1: and everyone in town loved King Candy, so Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy knew it would be a good possibility that some
Speaker 1: of the more popular candy varieties would sell out, especially
Speaker 1: since it was close to Halloween and everyone in town
Speaker 1: would most likely want a stock up for trick or treaters.
Speaker 1: After looking over their maps one last time, Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy were confident that they knew the.
Speaker 2: Store inside and out.
Speaker 1: All go right for King Krispy Crunchers when we get
Speaker 1: in there, declared Ivy as she discussed the plan that
Speaker 1: she and Levi had been working on all week. And
Speaker 1: I'll go right for the King Capu supersurs euroup, added Levi,
Speaker 1: giving a sister a high five. They rolled up their maps,
Speaker 1: tucked them into their pockets, and ran off to get
Speaker 1: their parents, who told them they would leave an hour
Speaker 1: before the store opened so they could get a good
Speaker 1: spot in line.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy took off down the sidewalk as their
Speaker 1: parents followed behind them. I hope they have as much
Speaker 1: fun once the store opens, said Levin and Ivy's mom
Speaker 1: to their dad. They've built it up so much in
Speaker 1: their heads by this point, there's no way they could
Speaker 1: be disappointed, even the littlest bit, replied Levin and Ivey's
Speaker 1: dad with a smile. After all, we are talking about
Speaker 1: King Candy, the best candy ever on planet Earth. They
Speaker 1: continued to follow their kids until they got closer to
Speaker 1: the store. And saw that a line had begun to
Speaker 1: form just outside the door. Kids and parents were all
Speaker 1: patiently waiting and very excited to get inside, each one
Speaker 1: hoping that the candy store would live up to their expectations.
Speaker 1: Do you think there will be any new candies that
Speaker 1: we haven't heard about before inside, asked Levi to Ivy
Speaker 1: and some other kids that were.
Speaker 2: Waiting in line.
Speaker 1: I haven't even thought of that, answered one little boy,
Speaker 1: as his eyes got wide and a smile spread across
Speaker 1: his face. Maybe a new lollipop with a caramel center,
Speaker 1: or a bubble candy soda that turns your mouth blue
Speaker 1: and purple, said another little girl. Ooh, how about a
Speaker 1: candy that blends together vegetables, chocolate, and a colorful candy shell,
Speaker 1: said a voice from behind them. Levi and Ivy and
Speaker 1: the other kids turned around quickly to see who had
Speaker 1: said that, but no one was there.
Speaker 2: You heard that too, right, asked Ivy.
Speaker 1: Yep, and I sure hope it was someone trying to
Speaker 1: be funny, said Levi. Who would ever want to mix
Speaker 1: candy and vegetables together? Yup? The kids continue to talk
Speaker 1: about the delicious, ooey gooey chocolate candy as they waited
Speaker 1: for King Candy Store to open. Then, just when they
Speaker 1: thought they couldn't wait one more minute, they saw the
Speaker 1: year inside the store and it started to head toward
Speaker 1: the door. Everyone waiting outside got very excited and turned
Speaker 1: their attention to the store. The handle of the door jiggled,
Speaker 1: and in one swift motion, it swung open. Welcome everyone
Speaker 1: to King Candy Store, said a woman whose voice sounded
Speaker 1: very familiar to Levi and Ivy. Doesn't that voice sound
Speaker 1: like the one that mentioned candy vegetables.
Speaker 2: Before, asked Levi to Ivy. It sure does, answered Ivy.
Speaker 2: It has to be a joke, right.
Speaker 1: They both didn't want to miss a thing, so instead
Speaker 1: of continuing their conversation, they turned their full attention back
Speaker 1: to the front door of the candy store. My name
Speaker 1: is Miss Purple, and I am happy to have you
Speaker 1: all here to celebrate the grand opening of King Candy Store,
Speaker 1: said the woman. Please come in and enjoy. Everyone in
Speaker 1: line applauded and started making their way into the store.
Speaker 1: Once inside, the overwhelming, delicious, sweet smell of chocolate and
Speaker 1: candy filled the air. It smelled incredible and only better
Speaker 1: than the smell filling the candy store were the visuals.
Speaker 2: Everywhere you looked, there was.
Speaker 1: Candy, candy, candy, lollipops, chocolate bars, gummy candies, bubble drinks,
Speaker 1: cotton candy, gum, tappy fudge, and caramels as far as
Speaker 1: the eye could see. In every color and flavor you
Speaker 1: could ever imagine. Levi and Ivy raced around forgetting all
Speaker 1: about the maps they had made and all about which
Speaker 1: candies they were supposed to grab first. Inside of the
Speaker 1: candy store was better than they could have imagined, and
Speaker 1: they just wanted to take it all in before starting
Speaker 1: to collect their candy. I've never seen this King Purple
Speaker 1: Lunar lollipop flavor before, exclaimed Levi. It's cosmic caramel cream apple,
Speaker 1: just perfect for fall. King Candy thinks of everything, added Ivy,
Speaker 1: holding up a new candy bar. This new candy has
Speaker 1: pumpkin spice blend right in the chocolate, and it's topped
Speaker 1: with more cookie crumbles, so it tastes like a camp
Speaker 1: fire treating everybody. Levi and Ivy's parents just watched on
Speaker 1: as their kids beamed with excitement and ran all over
Speaker 1: the candy store. As Levi and Ivy looked at the
Speaker 1: delicious candy, some new ones and some classic flavors. They
Speaker 1: were interrupted by Miss Purple. Hello, my King Candy friends.
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great time in the candy store,
Speaker 1: said Miss Purple as I mentioned earlier. I want to
Speaker 1: thank you again for celebrating the grand opening with me.
Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 1: I'm Ivy and this is my brother Levi, and we
Speaker 1: wouldn't have missed it for the world, replied Ivy. That's
Speaker 1: what we like to hear at King Candy, said Miss
Speaker 1: Purple as she handed Levi and Ivy two King candybags. Today,
Speaker 1: we're doing a special promotion for the grand opening. You
Speaker 1: can fill this bag with anything in the store for
Speaker 1: only ten dollars.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a deal.
Speaker 1: Said Levi as his parents walked over. Ten dollars is
Speaker 1: a great deal, said Levi's dad, And we can fill
Speaker 1: that back to the tippity top as long as you
Speaker 1: let me add in a few keen Colossal jelly beans.
Speaker 2: Sure thing, dad, giggled Levi.
Speaker 1: And you can add whatever you'd like to my bag,
Speaker 1: said Ivy to her mom with a smile. Thank you, sweetie,
Speaker 1: replied Ivy's mom as she looked around the store as
Speaker 1: Leevin Ivy's parents made their way past. Display after display
Speaker 1: of candy treats, Miss Purple talked a little bit more
Speaker 1: to Levi and Ivy.
Speaker 2: I couldn't help, but notice.
Speaker 1: How excited you got all about our new fall candies.
Speaker 2: Said Miss Purple.
Speaker 1: You too seem to be big King Candy fans, the biggest,
Speaker 1: answered Leevi and Ivy. Together, then you'll love our newest candy.
Speaker 1: I mean it's so new that it's not even out
Speaker 1: on the shelves yet. It's called candy covered veggies, said
Speaker 1: Miss Purple, trying to make the new candy sound super
Speaker 1: cool and exciting. I was hoping to get some kids
Speaker 1: to taste test them, you know, see it. They'd be
Speaker 1: a good fit for our King Candy store. So it
Speaker 1: was you that we heard when we were waiting in line.
Speaker 1: I mean, we love King Candy. It's the best candy
Speaker 1: ever on planet Earth. But I don't think even mister
Speaker 1: King himself could make a candy covered veggie that tastes good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: candy is something you get to eat as a treat
Speaker 1: after you finish your veggies, added Ivy.
Speaker 2: I totally get it.
Speaker 1: It's a hard concept to understand, but you have to
Speaker 1: trust me. The new veggie candy is great, incredibly wonderfully.
Speaker 2: Great, said Miss Purple, trying to convince Levi and Ivy.
Speaker 1: No one loves all the classic King candy treats more
Speaker 1: than me. But this new candy is a taste like
Speaker 1: any other, and you have yet to try it.
Speaker 2: I just love it.
Speaker 1: And as Miss Purple talked, she took out a few
Speaker 1: brightly wrapped candies from her pocket. They were covering in
Speaker 1: the classic candy blue and purple wrappers and had tiny
Speaker 1: pictures of broccoli, Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 2: And carrots on them. Miss Purple then took off.
Speaker 1: The wrapper, revealing a candy that looked just like any
Speaker 1: other tasty chocolate dip King candy in the store, but
Speaker 1: as soon as she bit into it you could see
Speaker 1: the veggies inside.
Speaker 2: They're absolutely great.
Speaker 1: The combo of veggie and candy is one taste that
Speaker 1: the candy the world has been missing for too long,
Speaker 1: said Miss Purple, with a big smile on her face.
Speaker 2: Here, why not add a few to your bags.
Speaker 1: You'll be the first kids to ever try them, So
Speaker 1: when you do, please come back and let me know
Speaker 1: what you think. I'd love to put them on our
Speaker 1: shoves or Halloween if you think they're a hit. And
Speaker 1: without another word, Miss Purple grabbed a few of the
Speaker 1: candy covered veggies and tossed them in each of their bags.
Speaker 1: My favorite part is how the chocolate layer blends so
Speaker 1: well with a thin candy shell and the fresh veggie.
Speaker 1: Smile miss Purple as she popped another candy covered veggie
Speaker 1: in her mouth.
Speaker 2: M broccoli my favorite.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy didn't want to be rude, so they
Speaker 1: thanked Miss Purple for telling them about the new candy
Speaker 1: and told her they would be sure to try them
Speaker 1: when they got home. Excellent, that's great. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to hear what you think of them, said Miss Purple.
Speaker 1: You know there's always room at.
Speaker 2: King Candy for some new candy creators.
Speaker 1: Wow. Levi and Ivy's eyes got wide. They couldn't believe
Speaker 1: what they were hearing. Could they really helped come up
Speaker 1: with candy ideas for King Candy? The best candy maker
Speaker 1: ever on planet?
Speaker 2: What is it.
Speaker 1: Earth? That's all right, Yes, we'll definitely be back, miss Purple,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. Thank you, said Levi as he and his
Speaker 1: sister continued their tour of the store, adding more and
Speaker 1: more candy.
Speaker 2: To their bags as they went.
Speaker 1: They finally met up with their parents after circling the
Speaker 1: store at least twice. Then they went to the register,
Speaker 1: where Miss Purple was waiting for them. It was great
Speaker 1: meeting you today, said Miss Purple as she rang up
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy. And I'm looking forward to hearing what
Speaker 1: you think about the new candy. We'll be back really
Speaker 1: soon to let you know our thoughts, said Ivy, trying
Speaker 1: to sound professional like a real candy creator.
Speaker 2: Looking forward to it, said Miss.
Speaker 1: Purple as she waved goodbye to Ivy, Levi and their
Speaker 1: parents and continued to wait on other customers. As soon
Speaker 1: as Ivy and Levi got home, they ran right out
Speaker 1: to their treehouse.
Speaker 2: They had important work to do.
Speaker 1: After all, the fate of their new candy creation at
Speaker 1: King Candy was resting on their shoulders. They didn't want
Speaker 1: to disappoint Miss Purple, but the thought of eating chocolate
Speaker 1: covered Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 2: And carrots didn't exactly make their mouths water.
Speaker 1: So in the comfort of their treehouse, surrounded by colorful
Speaker 1: fall leaves, they decided to start out their candy taste
Speaker 1: tests by sampling a few of their favorites, and in
Speaker 1: only a moment, the floor of the treehouse was littered
Speaker 1: with wrappers from King Crispy Crunchers and King Kapouse Super
Speaker 1: Sour Syrup, King Colossal Chocolate Bars, King Chocoate Caramel Twisters,
Speaker 1: and King Purple Lunar Lollipops.
Speaker 2: Wow, those were.
Speaker 1: Amazing, said Ivy, wiping some chocolate off her hands.
Speaker 2: I know, just perfect, said Levi.
Speaker 1: Knowing for what was next and not wanting to admit it,
Speaker 1: they each looked through their bags for another sweet treat
Speaker 1: to eat. Levi and Ivy both really didn't want to
Speaker 1: taste the new candy covered veggies, but they knew they
Speaker 1: had to. They looked at each other in realaze. They
Speaker 1: couldn't let Miss Purple down. She was counting on them
Speaker 1: to give an honest kid's point of view on the
Speaker 1: new King candy. At least we have a few of
Speaker 1: our favorites still left, so we can eat the veggie candy.
Speaker 1: We can gobble down a few of those to get
Speaker 1: the taste out of our mouths, said Ivy. Good idea,
Speaker 1: replied Levi. But you know what, maybe we're totally wrong
Speaker 1: thinking they'll taste bad. Maybe they'll be good. After all,
Speaker 1: they were made by King Candy, the best candy ever
Speaker 1: on planet Earth, shouted Levi and Ivy together, and after
Speaker 1: taking a deep breath, they each shook out a candy
Speaker 1: covered veggie and slowly and wrapped it. They stared at
Speaker 1: the new candy and if you didn't see the wrapper
Speaker 1: or bite into it, you probably wouldn't have even known
Speaker 1: you were holding a Bressels sprout or a piece of broccoli.
Speaker 1: Ivy and Levi then looked at each other again and
Speaker 1: started to count down from five. They knew what they
Speaker 1: had to do, but just as they got to one
Speaker 1: and were about to take their first bite, their dad
Speaker 1: popped his head into their treehouse. Hey friends, that is
Speaker 1: the end of part one. Come back soon for part two.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us today. We hope you enjoyed the
Speaker 1: story and learned a little something too. And since we
Speaker 1: know everyone has their own story, we'd love to hear yours.
