Speaker 1: Too Much Chocolate, Part two. Hey, friends, if you haven't
Speaker 1: listened to part one of Too Much Chocolate, head over
Speaker 1: there listen to that story and then join us back
Speaker 1: on this story. This story was inspired by Eliza. We
Speaker 1: loved this idea. Ivey spent quite a bit of time
Speaker 1: in her room, eating more chocolate than she had ever
Speaker 1: eaten before. But after an hour or so had passed,
Speaker 1: Ivy's mom knocked on the door, wanting to check in
Speaker 1: and see how Ivy was doing. Ivy, Honey, open up.
Speaker 1: I have some carrots and ranch dressing for you.
Speaker 2: Said her mom.
Speaker 1: I know it's not chocolate, but you do need to
Speaker 1: eat a little something. Ivy called out to her mom
Speaker 1: to give her one second as she tried to figure
Speaker 1: out a way to open her bedroom door without touching
Speaker 1: it and turn it into chocolate. Ivey felt like she
Speaker 1: wanted to keep her magical powers to herself for just
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. She told her mom she wasn't
Speaker 1: hungry for carrots right then, and she'd go downstairs soon
Speaker 1: and make herself something to eat. Ivy's mom told her
Speaker 1: she was leaving the carrots outside her door and hoped
Speaker 1: she would eat them at that point. After thinking about
Speaker 1: it for a second, Ivy had been eating so much
Speaker 1: chocolate that the thought of carrots dipped in ranch did
Speaker 1: actually sound pretty good. When she knew her mom had
Speaker 1: gone downstairs, Ivy grabbed a shirt to wrap around her
Speaker 1: hand so she didn't touch her door knob directly and
Speaker 1: turn it into chocolate. But of course the shirt she
Speaker 1: touched turned to chocolate, So now with a solid chocolate shirt,
Speaker 1: she tried her best to open the door.
Speaker 2: It took a while, but she did it.
Speaker 1: After making sure no one was in the hallway, Ivy
Speaker 1: dragged the plate of carrots and ranch into her room
Speaker 1: with the shirt. I know I can't pick up the carrots,
Speaker 1: thought Ivy, so I'll just grab them with my teeth.
Speaker 1: But as Ivy leaned down, she put her hands on
Speaker 1: the floor to steady herself and bam, chocolate floor. Oh no,
Speaker 1: called out Ivy, loud enough for Levi to hear, and
Speaker 1: before she could tell him to not come in, Levi
Speaker 1: opened her bedroom door, took one step on the chocolate floor,
Speaker 1: and slid into Ivy's room. Not wanting Levi to get hurt,
Speaker 1: Ivy quickly put her hands to stop him.
Speaker 2: And can you guess what happened next? Levi? No, whispered Ivy.
Speaker 2: Not wanting her parents to hear.
Speaker 1: She held out her hands to stop her brother from falling,
Speaker 1: but thankfully pulled them away just in time to stop
Speaker 1: herself from touching Levi, however, not fast enough to stop
Speaker 1: herself from touching his shirt, which she now had to
Speaker 1: explain to her brother why almost everything in her room,
Speaker 1: including his shirt, was made of chocolate.
Speaker 2: What's going on? What did you do to my shirt?
Speaker 2: And most importantly, can I eat a little bit of it?
Speaker 1: Asked Levi, trying to make sense of everything that was
Speaker 1: going on in Ivy's room. Levi, we don't have time
Speaker 1: for chocolate snacks right now, Ivy said, as she went
Speaker 1: on to explain. When I went for my walk, I
Speaker 1: ended up at the chocolate shop, Charlotte gave me some
Speaker 1: new chocolate she had just made, and after I ate it,
Speaker 1: she said it was a special recipe and the chocolate
Speaker 1: maybe magic. Maybe magic. I think you can safely say
Speaker 1: it's magic for sure, said Levi with a giggle, trying
Speaker 1: to nibble a sleeve on a shirt. You have to
Speaker 1: help me get out of the house and back to
Speaker 1: the chocolate shop, said Ivy. I have to get to
Speaker 1: Charlotte to help me. Hopefully she can. It makes my
Speaker 1: magic power and all this chocolate go away. Lieve I
Speaker 1: could have not been more surprised. Wow, Ivy, I never
Speaker 1: thought i'd hear you say you wanted to get rid
Speaker 1: of chocolate, said Levi.
Speaker 2: But I get it.
Speaker 1: It would be impossible to keep your magic power a
Speaker 1: secret for much longer with everything you touched turning into rich,
Speaker 1: sweet chocolate chocolate. Levi stopped thinking about chocolate and let's go,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. Okay, but you have to cover your hands,
Speaker 1: said Levi. We can't have you randomly touching things as
Speaker 1: we leave the house. Mom and dad may see then
Speaker 1: they'll find out that you've been sneaking chocolate, magical chocolate,
Speaker 1: no less all morning. But anything that touches my hands
Speaker 1: will turn to chocolate, Levi. I've your reminded her brother. Okay,
Speaker 1: then just be extra careful, said Levi, who ran to
Speaker 1: his room to change his shirt. Once you got back,
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy made their way down the hallway, down
Speaker 1: the stairs, and through the living room, with Ivy trying
Speaker 1: as hard as she could to not touch anything, and
Speaker 1: just when they thought they were in the clear, Levi
Speaker 1: opened the front door for them to leave and found
Speaker 1: his dad standing right there on the porch. Hi you two,
Speaker 1: he said. Oh Hi, Dad, said Ivy, putting her hands
Speaker 1: behind her back, careful not to touch her shirt. I'm
Speaker 1: proud of you, Ivy said her dad. You've been doing
Speaker 1: a great job not eating chocolate today. I've at once
Speaker 1: you start doing some other things to take your mind
Speaker 1: off it, that you won't even think about chocolate one time.
Speaker 1: Uh sure, Dad, definitely, said Ivy, trying to end the
Speaker 1: conversation as quickly as possible here.
Speaker 2: How about trying one of these.
Speaker 1: I just bought them at the orchard down the road,
Speaker 1: asked Ivy's dad as he tossed his daughter a red,
Speaker 1: shiny apple. Ivy watched as the apple spun through the
Speaker 1: air to her in slow motion, but before it fell
Speaker 1: into her hand, her dad turned away to walk into
Speaker 1: the garage. Ivy caught the apple and instantly it turned
Speaker 1: into solid chocolate. She then tossed the chocolate apple to Levi,
Speaker 1: who quickly hit it back inside the house on the
Speaker 1: table by the front door. Once that apple was out
Speaker 1: of sight, Levi and Ivy ran to the chocolate shop
Speaker 1: as fast as they could. Once they got there, Ivy,
Speaker 1: forgetting her magic power, grabbed the door handle, turning the
Speaker 1: whole door into chocolate. This happened right in front of Charlotte,
Speaker 1: who was restocking chocolate lollipops in the back of the store.
Speaker 1: Oh no, said Charlotte as she waved Levin and Ivy
Speaker 1: into the shop. Oh no, oh no, I know, said Ivy,
Speaker 1: and I need your help. Your magic chocolate was fun
Speaker 1: at first, but now I just want to be able
Speaker 1: to pick up an apple or hug my Teddy without
Speaker 1: turning them into chocolate. Like I told you, I had
Speaker 1: a feeling this would happen, fortunately for you and your
Speaker 1: teddy bear.
Speaker 2: I know how to.
Speaker 1: Reverse it, Charlotte said, But I don't know that you're
Speaker 1: gonna like it.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is. I am ready.
Speaker 1: I can't look at chocolate for one more minute, said Ivy.
Speaker 1: Just tell me what to do. You have to eat something,
Speaker 1: said Charlotte as she walked into the back room.
Speaker 2: Oh no, not.
Speaker 1: More chocolate, said Ivy. I don't think I can Nope,
Speaker 1: not chocolate, answered Charlotte. But rather the most unlike chocolate
Speaker 1: food you can think of. You have to eat broccoli,
Speaker 1: and not just a little piece, but a whole head
Speaker 1: of broccoli. Sorry, Ivy, Ouch, no fun, Ivy said lee
Speaker 1: by making a face at the thought of eating all
Speaker 1: that broccoli. Charlotte went back into the room and quickly
Speaker 1: returned holding a huge plate of cut up broccoli. You
Speaker 1: just happen to have a whole head of broccoli cut
Speaker 1: up in the back already, I've asked, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I had a feeling this would happen, answered Charlotte. Ivy
Speaker 1: stared at the big pile of green on her plate
Speaker 1: in front of her. She had never seen so much
Speaker 1: broccoli in her whole life. And you're sure if I
Speaker 1: eat this the magic power will go away, Ivy asked Charlotte.
Speaker 1: And I won't all of a sudden start turning things
Speaker 1: into broccoli, right. I guess we'll see, said Charlotte. But
Speaker 1: this is just regular old broccoli from the store down
Speaker 1: the street, so I'm thinking the chances of you getting
Speaker 1: broccoli magic powers is pretty low. Ivy looked over at Levi,
Speaker 1: who stood right behind her, to cheer her on. Then,
Speaker 1: on the count of three, Ivy started to eat piece
Speaker 1: after piece of broccoli until everyone was gone. It was
Speaker 1: actually pretty good, said Ivy, finishing her last piece of
Speaker 1: broccoli after eating all that chocolate. It's nice to eat
Speaker 1: something that's fresh and green. But I definitely think I've
Speaker 1: had my Philip broccoli for the year. Charlotte and Levi
Speaker 1: both laughed, but they also knew that they had to
Speaker 1: see if the broccoli worked. I still feel the same,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. Do you think the magic chocolate power went away?
Speaker 1: Charlotte shrugged her shoulders and said there's only one way
Speaker 1: to find out, since most everything in my shop is chocolate. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let me get you a bowl or something from the
Speaker 1: back room, and you can try touching. That sounds good,
Speaker 1: said Ivy as she stared at her hands, wondering if
Speaker 1: they were still filled with magic. Levi, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: had been staring at all the chocolate in the store
Speaker 1: the whole time Ivy was eating her broccoli. Since he
Speaker 1: had only taken a nibble of his chocolate shirt at home,
Speaker 1: he still had quite a big appetite for the sweet stuff. Levi,
Speaker 1: you look like you're starving, gild Ivy. Why don't you
Speaker 1: take one of the free samples by the door. Good idea,
Speaker 1: Levi said, as he walked over to grab a piece
Speaker 1: of chocolate. But if you remember, Ivy had accidentally turned
Speaker 1: the front door into chocolate, and with everything else going on,
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy didn't notice that the door or was
Speaker 1: melting all over the chocolate shop floor. As Levi was
Speaker 1: walking by, he slipped on the oohy gouuey chocolate and
Speaker 1: fell forward, right toward his sister, just like before. Ivy's
Speaker 1: first instinct was to put up her hands and stop
Speaker 1: Levi from falling. But would this mean Levi was going
Speaker 1: to turn into chocolate? There was no time to stop
Speaker 1: it from happening, and before Ivy knew it, she was
Speaker 1: holding Levi by his shoulders. He twisted away from her quickly,
Speaker 1: not knowing if he was seconds away from becoming a.
Speaker 2: Chocolate Levi statue.
Speaker 1: As he turned away from Ivy, Levi slipped again on
Speaker 1: the candy covered floor, falling into a big puddle of chocolate.
Speaker 2: Levi called out, Ivy, Levi, are you okay?
Speaker 1: Hearing all the commotions, Charlotte ran out from the back
Speaker 1: room in time to see Ivy standing in the middle
Speaker 1: of the melted chocolate with a very nervous and concerned
Speaker 1: look on her face. Charlotte then looked down at the
Speaker 1: floor where Levi was laying covered in chocolate.
Speaker 2: Oh no, what have I done? Called out Ivy. She
Speaker 2: ran to Charlotte. I'm a chocolate monster. We need to
Speaker 2: help Levi.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just turned him into chocolate. Ivy
Speaker 1: began to cry and fell on the floor near the
Speaker 1: front counter. Charlotte tried to think fast and ran over
Speaker 1: to Levi. That's when she noticed he was moving. And
Speaker 1: after spending all your time in a chocolate shop, you
Speaker 1: know for sure that chocolate is not supposed to move.
Speaker 2: Levi. Charlotte whispered, are you chocolate? That's when she heard
Speaker 2: a muffled voice.
Speaker 1: Eight, No, I'm not chocolate, just covered in it because
Speaker 1: of the melting chocolate door. Levi slowly stat up and
Speaker 1: wiped the chocolate off his face with a big smile.
Speaker 1: This has been a weird day, he said with a
Speaker 1: laugh as he licked a little bit of the melted
Speaker 1: chocolate off his fingers. Hearing his voice, Ivy stopped crying
Speaker 1: and looked up immediately.
Speaker 2: Levi, I didn't turn you into a chocolate statue, exclaimed
Speaker 2: Ivy with great relief and excitement.
Speaker 1: That means that broccoli worked and my magic power is gone.
Speaker 1: Ivy was so excited she hugged Levi and helped him up.
Speaker 1: She was now covered in chocolate too, but she didn't care.
Speaker 1: She was just so happy that everything was back to normal,
Speaker 1: well except for the chocolate shop's front door. The part
Speaker 1: that had melted slowly turned back into a real door
Speaker 1: now that Ivy's magic power was gone, But anything that
Speaker 1: was melted stayed chocolate, so it definitely needed to be replaced.
Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough for your help.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry about the front door, said Ivy to Charlotte,
Speaker 1: It's no problem, see as how I was the one
Speaker 1: that gave you the magic chocolate, giggled Charlotte. After seeing
Speaker 1: how the front door and the chocolate shop reacted to
Speaker 1: her magic powers being reversed, Ivy knew everything in her
Speaker 1: room would be back to normal when she got home,
Speaker 1: which made her breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Speaker 2: Yep, the only.
Speaker 1: Things that we turned into chocolate that can't go back
Speaker 1: to normal are the things that have been eaten already
Speaker 1: or things that had already melted, said Charlotte reassuringly. After
Speaker 1: helping Charlotte clean up what they could at the chocolate
Speaker 1: shop and cleaning them themselves up a bit, Levi and
Speaker 1: Ivy said thank you and headed home. They were both
Speaker 1: anxious to see what Ivy's room looked like after they
Speaker 1: quickly washed off the rest of the chocolate in the bathroom. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: they made it inside and upstairs before their parents could
Speaker 1: see them, and just like Charlotte said, everything had turned
Speaker 1: back to normal in Ivy's bedroom. Thinking everything had worked out,
Speaker 1: she and Levi walked downstairs only to find their dad
Speaker 1: standing by the table next to the front door with
Speaker 1: a confused look on his face.
Speaker 2: That's the table.
Speaker 1: Where I put the apple you turned to chocolate, Levi
Speaker 1: whispered to his sister. Oh no, since the front door
Speaker 1: has a big glass piece in it, I bet the
Speaker 1: sons streaming into the house melted the chocolate apple all
Speaker 1: over the table, and melted chocolate doesn't change back, added Ivy,
Speaker 1: wondering what would happen next. Hey, Ivy, do you know
Speaker 1: anything about the chocolate all over this table? Asked Ivy's
Speaker 1: dad as she and her brother walked into the living room.
Speaker 1: I thought we took all of the chocolate out of
Speaker 1: the house. Were you sneaking a last little bit by
Speaker 1: any chance? Ivy looked at Levi and started to laugh
Speaker 1: something like that. I'm really sorry, dad, said Ivy, but
Speaker 1: definitely now know that too much chocolate is not good
Speaker 1: for me. You and mom don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: me eating too much anymore. Well that's great to hear,
Speaker 1: said Ivy's dad, sounding a bit surprised. A week or
Speaker 1: so had passed since all of Ivy's chocolate had been
Speaker 1: removed from the house, and during that time her parents
Speaker 1: noticed what a great job she was doing limiting her
Speaker 1: sugary snacks and eating a.
Speaker 2: Bit more healthy.
Speaker 1: They were so proud, in fact, that they thought she
Speaker 1: had spent enough time without her favorite treat. They decided
Speaker 1: to surprise her by taking her to the chocolate shop
Speaker 1: in town so she could pick out a little something.
Speaker 1: Even though Ivy said no, her parents insisted. When they
Speaker 1: got there, Ivy noticed something new. It was the front door.
Speaker 1: She and Levi hadn't been back since the day Charlotte
Speaker 1: helped her reverse her magic power.
Speaker 2: Very cool door, said.
Speaker 1: Ivy's mom to Charlotte as they walked into the chocolate shop.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, replied Charlotte as she looked at Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy. Ivy was actually a big inspiration for the
Speaker 1: new door. Oh really, probably because she was one of
Speaker 1: your best customers for so long, giggled Ivy's mom. Something
Speaker 1: like that, answered Charlotte with a smile that all Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy could do was laugh as they look back
Speaker 1: at the new door, which was made to look like
Speaker 1: a big bar of melting chocolate. Thanks for joining us today.
