Wouldn't it be cool if we lived like this? 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: Asked Levi as he talked to Ivy while doing a 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: perfect handstand in handstand Land, giggled Ivy. No, replied Levi, 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: returning to his feet and standing up. I mean in 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: a world where everything was upside down, you know, like 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: where we could walk in the sky and the ground 19 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: would stretch out over our heads. Ivey just looked at her, 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: not knowing what to say. It was an interesting concept, 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: but it would be really cool to have birds flying 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: around at your feet, or bunnies and squirrels scurrying around overhead. 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: But then she let herself really start to picture such 24 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: a world, and as she did, Ivy started to understand 25 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: what Levi was saying. 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 2: I guess it would be cool to look. 27 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Up and see rivers and streams flowing over our heads 28 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: into hawk from cloud to cloud on our walk to school, 29 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: said Ivy, doing a handstand to get a better perspective 30 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: of this new world. Exactly, replied Levi. Imagine if tree 31 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: branches stretched down from the sky, and when it rained, 32 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: the raindrops flew up from the sky under our feet, 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: like the world's biggest sprinkler. That would be amazing, exclaimed Ivy, 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: pretending to dance around in a rainstorm. And I would 35 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: call it topsy turvy, said Levi. Topsy what, asked Ivy. 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: Topsy turvy, Levi repeated, It's another way to say upside down, 37 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: except it sounds way more fun. You're right, it does 38 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: sound more fun, said Ivy with a big smile. And 39 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: now that they both had this wacky upside down thought 40 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: in their heads, they couldn't think of anything else. As 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: the afternoon rolled on, Levi and Ivy added to their 42 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: grand idea of creating this topsy Turvy wonderland and tried 43 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: to think of a way to make their dream become 44 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: a reality. They drew pictures of what topsy Turvy would 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: look like, filled with flowers and vines raining down from 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: the ground, which now was above their heads. They drew 47 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: an upside down playground in the sky and rainbows now 48 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: so close you could touch them. They drew a night 49 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: sky around their feet. And now with this new planetary placement, 50 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: anyone who lived in this magical land could skip between stars, 51 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: climb on the moon, ride a shooting star, or walk 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: from planet to planet. Levi and Ivy were just having 53 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: fun in the afternoon, creating a wonderful place that was 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: nothing like where they lived. But what seemed like an 55 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: afternoon game would end up teaching them both a very 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: important lesson. As the day went on, all their excitement 57 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: and creativity had created something amazing. After dinner, Levi and 58 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: Ivy continued to work on topsy Turvy, and by bedtime 59 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: they were still full of ideas but quite tired. They 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: decided to both sleep in Levi's room so they could 61 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: work on more enchanting drawings before they went to sleep. 62 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: How cute would it be? 63 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: To look up and see little chipmunks scampering by, asked 64 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: Ivy as she yawned and worked on yet another picture 65 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: of their upside down land. Or how cool would it 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: be to have planes fly right by you as you're 67 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: playing outside? Said Levi. I really wish this upside downland existed, 68 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: even for just one day. Me too. What if it 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: really did, said iv as her sleepiness one out and 70 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: her drawing pad and marker fell from her hand on 71 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: to the floor by her bed. 72 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: Ah, what if it really did. 73 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: Said Levi as he closed his eyes too and drifted 74 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: off to sleep. Maybe we'll dream about it tonight. Except 75 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: that night, Levi and Ivy wouldn't be going to dreamland. 76 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: They would be going to a place they had created 77 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: them themselves, somewhere just as amazing, where they would see 78 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: amazing things, meete amazing creatures, go on an amazing adventure, 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: and learn a pretty amazing lesson at the end of 80 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 1: it all. As they felt themselves falling to sleep, Levi 81 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: and Ivy thoughts filled with more wonderful things that existed 82 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: in topsy Turvy. They're made up marvelous upside down world. 83 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Then before they knew it, they were standing next to 84 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: each other in the backyard, Ivy, are we dreaming? Askedly, 85 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: By looking around, it looks like our normal backyard, but 86 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: something seems a bit different, answered Ivy. 87 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: Just look at the ground. 88 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Levi joined Ivy and inspected the ground beneath their feet. 89 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: The grass seemed dull and hazy, like it was out 90 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: of focus. When they looked up at the sky, they 91 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: noticed the same thing. Something just wasn't right. 92 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 2: Well. 93 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: Being the curious kids that they were, they decided to 94 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: take a closer look. That meant they were off on 95 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: an adventure. They walked out of their backyard and down 96 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: the street. They continued past their s school and park 97 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: where they played before they made it to the woods 98 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: at the edge of their town. And that's when things 99 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: started to become a bit clearer. 100 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: Levi. 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: Do you remember when you asked me if we were dreaming? 102 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Asked Ivy as she stared wide at at the scene 103 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: before her. I sure do, replied Levi, knowing exactly what 104 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: she was going to say next. After seeing this, I'd say, yes, 105 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: we are definitely dreaming, said Ivy with a big smile. 106 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: We did it, Ivy, We made our drawings come to life, 107 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: Ivey couldn't even answer her brother because she was at 108 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: a loss for words. What had only been moments ago 109 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: a drawing in her drawing pad was now a seemingly endless, 110 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: wonderful world spreading out before them. It's topsy turvy, shouted 111 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: Levi as he jumped from his hazy dole, out of 112 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: focus reality and into something amazing. And it looked like 113 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: the world they had talked about and drawn. Things they 114 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: had only imagined were now right there in front of them, 115 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: and there was only one thing to do. Let's go, 116 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: shouted Ivy and Levi as they ran towards the topsy 117 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: turvy terrain. 118 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: Their first steps had. 119 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: Them walking in the sky as they gazed upwards at 120 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: the ground that stretched out over our heads. Birds flew 121 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: around by their feet as they carefully walked through a 122 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: sea of blue sky. Bunnies and squirrels scurried around overhead 123 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: in a woodland area that dangled above them like a 124 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: forest umbrella. Along with the forest, rivers and streams gently 125 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: rolled along in what would have been the sky at home, 126 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: with fish flying above as they followed the flowing water. 127 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy couldn't stop smiling as they tried to 128 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: take in everything around them. It was then that Ivy 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: felt something gently bump her leg. What was that? Exclaimed 130 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 1: Ivy as she jumped up, thinking it was a little animal, 131 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: But she quickly discovered when she looked down at her 132 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: leg that her perspective on the world had to change 133 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: if she was going to adapt the world she and 134 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: Levi had created. It's a bird, Ivy, said Levi as 135 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: he watched a little blue bird flutter around Ivy's legs 136 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: before continuing on its way. Levi look out shot at Ivy, 137 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: pointing over her brother's shoulders. As he turned around and 138 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: came face to face with a cloud. The water vapor 139 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: filled fluffy puff seemed to vanish as it touched his face, 140 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: making him giggle. 141 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: That was awesome. 142 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: You need to try it, said Levi to Ivy. Ivy 143 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: quickly turned around and saw a small cloud floating her way. 144 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: She ran toward it, and as the fluffy puff, made 145 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: up of teeny tiny water droplets softly smashed into her, 146 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: she spun around and danced in the sky topsy Turvy 147 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: was better than she could have ever imagined. Levi felt 148 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: the same way, completely focused on only the clouds around them. 149 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy decided to play a game of Follow 150 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: the Leader, and as they did so, they hopped from 151 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: cloud to cloud, laughing as they went. Try this, called 152 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: out Levi as he did a handstand on one of 153 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: the passing clouds. Everything looks like it's back to normal. Wow, 154 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy, doing a handstand too. You're right, it's pretty 155 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: amazing what things look like when you just change your 156 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: perspective a bit, said voice that Ivy thought was Levi. 157 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: That's a really smart thing to say, Levi. Ivy replied 158 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: as she plopped back down on her feet and stood up. 159 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. But my name isn't Levi. It's updo, 160 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: said the little fairy like creature that was walking up 161 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: to Levi and Ivy. I live here in the world 162 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: you created. It's pretty amazing. You both did a great job. 163 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy once again couldn't believe their eyes, but 164 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: they didn't want to miss even a second of getting 165 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: to note this little creature and learning more about topsy 166 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: Turvy from him. We're so happy you like it here, 167 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: said Ivy. This is my brother Levi, and he's the 168 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: one who had the idea for this place. Did you 169 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: say your name was up too, asked Levi. Oh, now 170 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: I get it. It's the first part of the words 171 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: upside and down. Updo, that is exactly right, said Updo 172 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: as he jumped on a cloud as it drifted by. 173 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: So where are you two coming from? Did Jack to 174 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: take a plane? Why? That one? You may want to 175 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: step over this way? Updu pointed behind me Levi and I, 176 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: and as they turned around they saw a giant plane 177 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: flying their way. They quickly stepped aside. As the planes 178 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: soared right next to them. Levi and Ivy stared with 179 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: wide eyes and a look of pure astonishment on their faces. 180 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: Why do you look so surprised? 181 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: Asked Updo, still jumping up and down on the cloud, 182 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: like it was a fluffy trampoline. Well, where we're from, 183 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: planes fly in the sky, explained Ivy.
