She was a baby unicorn hadn't learned 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: how to fly yet, but she was reading as much 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: as she could, trying to get it perfectly right. 22 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: All right, So if I flap. 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: My wings like this, and I hold my tail like 24 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: that and then maybe this will happen and. 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: It'll never work. 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: You see, Ellianna was a unicorn, and unicorns just can fly, right, Yeah, 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: well they have to learn how to fly, and she 28 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: hadn't learned yet. But something that she was really focused on. 29 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: She was really focused on learning to do it perfectly 30 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: and not make any mistakes. But do you know something 31 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: very interesting, She hadn't even tried yet. She was trying 32 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: to learn in her head how to do it perfectly, 33 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: so that the first first time that she tried, she 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: would do it right. But she hadn't tried yet. But 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: don't worry. By the end of the story, something amazing 36 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: is going to happen. All right, this is not working. 37 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: I need to talk to an expert. I need to 38 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: find someone who can teach me the perfect way to 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: fly the very first time, because there's no way I'm 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: making any mistakes with this, said Eliana. She put on 41 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: her shoes and ah, she walked. Remember, most unicorns can fly, 42 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: but Eliana, she had to walk. So she walked up 43 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: a mountain. She had heard of a very old wizard, 44 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: a wizard that was an expert in flying, lived high 45 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: up in this mountain, she was gonna go talk to him. Oh, 46 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: I just have to find the perfect way. I don't 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: like making mistakes. I have to do it right the 48 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: first time, or maybe someone will laugh at me. Have 49 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: you ever felt that way before? Like you have to 50 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: do it perfect the first time and or else maybe 51 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: someone will laugh. Yeah, me too. I hope Eleanna figures 52 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: this out. As she continued walking up the trail, she 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: dreamed of flying. She said, Man, I wish I could fly. 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: Be so easier to go up this mountain if I 55 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: could fly up it instead of walk. You see unicorns, 56 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: they have four legs and four hoofs, kind of like 57 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: a horse, and it was hard to climb up a 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: mountain with those hoofs. Unicorns were not made and built 59 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: to walk up a mountain like that. They were made 60 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: to fly up the mountain. So it took Eleana a very, 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: very long time to get up this mountain. As she 62 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: passed different creatures along the way up the mountain, some 63 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: of the creatures were a little confused why the unicorn 64 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: was walking. Oh ah, hello, there, said a blue jay. 65 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Do you are you okay? Said the blue jay? Oh, yes, 66 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm just going to find the old wizard 67 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: that lives up this mountain, said Alianna. Oh, well, h 68 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: why don't you just fly up there like me? Look, 69 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: you just you have wings just like me. Fly said 70 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: the blue jay. Ah, that's cool that you can fly. 71 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: I wish I can do that sometime. But I haven't 72 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: learned how to do that yet. 73 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: Well just just try. 74 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: Can you flap your wings really fast? 75 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: I bet it a. 76 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: Work, said the blue jay. 77 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: Nah. 78 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to try that yet. I want to 79 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: make sure that I do it perfectly the first time, 80 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: said Eliana. 81 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: Okay, well, good luck. 82 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: Bang blue jay took off flying. Oh I wish I 83 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: could fly like a blue jay, said Elianna. She continued 84 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: walking and hiking up the mountain. Oh boy, this is 85 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: getting hot. It was a really hot day. And then 86 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: she saw another creature. Oh hello, it was a ginormous eagle. 87 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: H hello there, Hi, my name's Eleana. What's your name? 88 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: Yo?

Uh, you must be a really good flyer. 90 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: Can you tell me your secrets? 91 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: Oh? Of course. Will you just have to believe and 92 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: you just flap your wings and oh well, I don't 93 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: really remember how I learned I just I just now 94 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: flap my wings. Have have you ever tried flapping your wings, 95 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: little girl, said Edgar? Well not yet. 96 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: I I just want to make sure that I totally 97 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: understand everything before I try flapping my wings. 98 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, good luck to you. I hope you figure 99 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: it out, because flying is the best thing in the 100 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: whole wide world. And off flew Edgar the Eagle. 101 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: Ellianna started to think to herself, maybe I should just try. 102 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, I really don't want that eagle the 103 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: blue jay to laugh at me if I don't do 104 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: it right the first time. I don't know what to do. 105 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: I just got to talk to this wizard. As Eleianna 106 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: finally made it up to the top of the mountain, 107 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: she saw the wizard there. Hello, mister wizard, my name's Eleanna. 108 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: I really need help flying. Could you teach me everything 109 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: you know? Oh? 110 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: Well of course I can. But all right, well, come 111 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: sit down. 112 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: Ellianna sat down and took out a piece of paper 113 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: and a pencil and started to write everything down that 114 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: the wizard was talking. All right, well, the first thing 115 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: that you need to do is is just try to 116 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: fly and see if it works. Okay, but what do 117 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: I do to make sure that I fly the first 118 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: time the perfectly, said Alianna. 119 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: Well I can't promise you that. 120 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: Said the wizard. But after you try the first time, 121 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: then you'll make a mistake, and that's normal. But then 122 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: you'll be able to correct that mistake. But without you 123 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: trying the first time, I won't know what it is 124 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: that we need to fix. That's just a part of 125 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: the process, said the wizard. You mean I have to 126 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: try it without knowing exactly how it's gonna happen perfectly, 127 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: said Aliana. Oh you mean you haven't tried yet, said 128 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: the wizard. No, but do you promise you won't laugh, 129 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: said Aliana. 130 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: Oh of course. 131 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: I won't laugh, said the wizard. Elianna stretched out and 132 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: took a big, deep breath and gee one, two three. 133 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 1: She started flapping her wings as fast as she could, 134 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: trying to think about everything she'd learned in all her books, 135 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: and she got a little off the ground and then 136 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: crashed back down. 137 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: Oh no, it didn't work. My life is. 138 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: Over, Elihanna started to cry. She thought she would never 139 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: learn how to fly because she tried everything that she 140 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: could that she learned. 141 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: Oh that is a great job. 142 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: Look at what you did, said the wizard. You got 143 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: very high off the ground the very first time, much 144 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: better than my first try. You mean you didn't fly 145 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: your first time, said Alianna. Oh, why, oh, definitely not. 146 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: It took me a very long time. But you see, 147 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: you're so close. Just need to adjust your tail a 148 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: little bit to the right and then it's going to work. 149 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: Try again. 150 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: Ellianna stretched out and started flapp her wings as fast 151 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: as she could and moved her tails with the right 152 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: and she got a little higher off the ground and 153 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: then she's flying. 154 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 2: I did it. Great job, Ellianna. 155 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: Said the wizard. And that is the day that Ellianna, 156 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: the baby Unicorn, finally learned to fly. Have you ever 157 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: felt nervous about trying something for the first time? Oh? Yes, 158 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: me too, And so Ellianna she was so worried about 159 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: having to do it perfect the first time, it stopped 160 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: her from even trying. And so if you ever feel 161 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: that way, if you ever feel like I don't know 162 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: if I'll do it right, you have to try the 163 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: first time and then learn from the mistake, and then 164 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: you will fly, just like Ellianna the end. 165 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: Great job. 166 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: You listened all the way to the end and you 167 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: know what, Tom, it is It's time for Kid shout Out. 168 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: I want to say hey to Keegan and Grace from California, 169 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: Elodie from England, Finn from Idaho, Vshnavi from Singapore, Vera 170 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: and Ryan from Minnesota, Olivier from Miami, Matteo and Miguel 171 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania, Kai and Trey from Vancouver, BC.
