Speaker 1 (00:31):
Enough about that, let's get too today's super Live Ay
Lewis story. In a forgotten part of the forest, behind
Levi and Ivy's house, there stood a grove of elm trees,
and no matter the time of year, the leaves were
the most brilliant shades of green, red, orange, and yellow.

(00:53):
They shimmered in the afternoon sun each day and glowed
beneath a blanket of stars each night. For as long
as anyone had known, this little part of the forest
was something special. Anyone who had ever stumbled upon it
took away from their journey tales of magical events and
mystical creatures Levi and Ivy had heard the tales before
from their parents and their grandparents, who were lucky enough

(01:13):
to have visited this special place. But in the last year,
no one spoke of the extraordinary village in the woods anymore,
and this was something that made Levi and Ivy want
to see why. Maybe the land was gone, maybe the
fairies and the mermaids found a new place to live,
or maybe the Enchanted Forest was just a story and
never really existed at all. Levi and Ivy had to

(01:36):
find out the answer. One thing they remembered from hearing
tales of the Enchanted Land was that the two groups
that called the place home were fairies and mermaids, and
they didn't always get along, but the love for their
forest home allowed them to live together. The fairies and
the mermaids each had an equal amount of magic to
use in the forest. However, each group wished to control

(01:58):
all the magic in the land, so instead of deciding
the best thing for them to do was share the magic,
working together to create greatness throughout the forest that they
could all enjoy. The two groups kept to themselves. They
were kind to each other, respecting each other's space. In
the Enchanted forest. But because so little magic was being used,
the forest began to crumble and fall apart. But neither

(02:20):
the fairies nor the mermaids came forward to try and
make things better. The forest was losing its magic, becoming
nothing more than a legend. Levin and Ivy had to
do something about this, and one summer afternoon, they grabbed
some snacks, told their parents they'd be playing in the
woods behind their house, and took off for a great adventure.

(02:40):
Only a little time passed before they found themselves in
the forgotten part of the forest. The vines were overgrown,
the flowers that surrounded them were wilted and frail, and
the grove of elm trees definitely didn't look how they
had imagined it. These were the first few signs that
they would see proving that the enchanted forest was in
a great need of help. I knew it was real.

(03:01):
I just knew it, shouted Levi. Me too, I knew
Mom and Dad and grandma and grandpa were telling us
the truth, added Ivy. But it does look a little
bit different than when they described it. More like a
lot different, replied Levi as he pushed back the tall
grass and walked toward the grove of elm trees. Weren't
these trees supposed to be full of bright and colorful leaves. Yeah,

(03:26):
that's what we are always told. But maybe this is
our first clue as to why the forest seems to
be disappearing, said Ivy as she walked past Levi through
the grove of trees and down a long path. They
stepped over fallen tree branches and thorn bushes that seemed
to cover the ground. This was not how they had
seen their adventure going. Levi and Ivy thought, or at

(03:46):
least hoped, that they would be welcomed into a magical,
beautiful forest by fairies and mermaids, making friends with them
and learning all about their special home. Instead, they found
themselves in the middle of a sad looking situation, filled
with colors and small houses that looked like they were
falling apart. You'd think, with all the magic that's supposed
to exist here, that this place would look amazing, said Levi.

(04:09):
It did once, said Ivy. At least that's what we were told.
It's our job now to figure out what happened and
how we can help. I think the best way to
do that is to talk with someone that lives here.
I suppose you could talk to me, said a voice
coming from the edge of the river, because I'm very helpful,
unlike the fairies around here. You're helpful. Don't make me laugh,

(04:36):
said a second voice that seemed to sail over their
heads through the breeze. The reason our home looks like
this is because of you. No way, it's because of you.
Levi and Ivy knew they had to follow the voices,
quickly heading toward the river. When they arrived at the shore,
they were very encouraged by what they saw, a crystal
clear waterway that flowed past waterfalls and filled with lovely plants. Hello,

(04:59):
called out Levia. He looked around, trying to find whoever
had been talking to them. Hello, can you please come
out so we can talk to you, added Ivy. We're
here to help. Upon hearing this, the voices began to
chatter back and forth, each trying to be the first
one to get Levi and Ivy's attention. Then both at once,
the people behind the voices popped up in front of
Levi and Ivy. That was when they met Maris, a

(05:22):
bold and mischievous mermaid who loved her forest home. And Sylphie,
a strong and curious fairy who loved her home just
as much. Maris swam to the edge of the shore
and popped her head out of the water as Sylphie
fluttered overhead before landing softly on a giant flower pedal.
Levi and Ivy couldn't believe their eyes as they saw
before them a mermaid and a fairy. They tried to

(05:43):
act quickly, seeing that these two didn't have the same
point of view on what was happening to their beloved
magical forest home. Levi and Ivy started by introducing themselves
and telling their new friends the wonderful tales they had
heard about the enchanted forest. But we actually haven't heard
very much recently, so we decided to come out here
ourselves and see what was going on, began Levi, and

(06:04):
once we got to the grove of elm trees, it
was pretty obvious that the forest was falling apart and
in need of some help. Added Ivy. We know you
must love this place, and we're here to do whatever
we can to help you return it to the wonderful,
magical place we have always been told that it was.
Maris and Sylphie listened closely, liking what they heard. Even

(06:27):
though they didn't always get along, they both agreed on
one very important thing. They loved their home, and we're
both sad to see it losing its magic. I'd be
happy to work with you, said Maris. I couldn't care
about anything more than turning the forest back into what
it used to be. Well, I'm happier to help you,
added Sylphie. And I care about saving this forest way

(06:48):
more than Maris does. That's not true, shouted Maris. Is too.
Sylphie shouted back. Can you please stop fighting? Said Levi.
It's clear you both love this place, and since you've
been living here your whole lives, surely one of you
knows what we need to do to make it better.
Do we need to find some hidden gem in an
underwater cave or uncover some great map that will show

(07:10):
us the way or face some menacing monsters? Asked Ivy,
trying to figure out how they could help. Maris and
Sylvie were silent and looked at each other as they
rolled their eyes. Then they whispered something that Levi and
Ivy couldn't quite hear. Can you speak louder. We didn't
hear that, said Levi, as he and Ivy leaned in
to listen closely. We said, we need to combine our magic,

(07:33):
said Maris and Sylphy. Levi and Ivy then breathed a
huge sigh of relief hearing how easy it would be
for Marius and Sylphie. Since they both clearly loved the
enchanted forest, Levi and Ivy both wondered if that was
all they had to do to restore the forests full magic,
why didn't they do it already, they asked, And this
is what they heard. It's not that easy, said Maris.

(07:55):
The mermaids and the fairies always wanted to use their
magic for different things. For example, Sophie wants to use
our combined magic to grow bigger trees for more fairy
houses and add a new species of flowers and berry
bushes to be used as food and decorations around the village.
That sounds wonderful to me, added Selfie, because those are
way better ideas than using our combined magic for things

(08:17):
that Maris and the other mermaids like, more like waterfalls
and more crystals and shells for the underwater homes. The
lake is the last truly magical place in the forest.
Just look at it. But if nothing gets done soon,
the lake will look like the rest of this place
in no time. Wow wow, wow, Wait a second. I
think all of your ideas sound great, said Levi. Why

(08:39):
can't you do all of them? Because we don't have
enough magic to do everything, said Maris. And for the
last year or so, we haven't been able to agree
on what to do, so we haven't done anything. Yep,
that's why the forest looks the way it does, added Sylphie.
If we don't keep using our magic, it will start

(09:00):
to disappear, until one day when it'll just be gone forever.
Levi and Ivy couldn't believe what they were hearing. It
was a simple case of sharing and working together for
a common good, something that would benefit everyone who lived
in the enchanted forest village. But Maris and Sylphie wanted
their own ways so badly they couldn't see that. And

(09:22):
since they were the oldest in their groups, they were
each in charge of their magic and got to make
the final call on how it was used or not used.
In this case, have you asked the other mermaids and
fairies what they think about all of this, asked Levi,
and before Maris and Sophie had a chance to answer,
fairies filled the air as mermaids swam to the lake's

(09:42):
surface to voice their opinions. Levi and Ivy could tell
they didn't agree with how Maris and Sylphie were handling
the situation, and one of the magic brought back to
their enchanted forest home as quickly as possible. This made
Levi and Ivy think of a similar situation that they
had just worked through the week before. They thought maybe
telling that story to Maris and Sylvie would help them

(10:03):
see how working together to help the forest as a
whole was the best thing to do. It all started
when Levi and Ivy had each gotten some money from
their neighbor for helping her with some yard work. They
were very excited because they each wanted to use that money,
along with some birthday money they had saved up, to
get a new video game. However, they had not fully
decided on which game to get. Then, when they got

(10:24):
to the store, Levi picked up the video game he
thought he and Ivy wanted and walked to the register
to pay, asking Ivy for her half of the money
to pay for But what he didn't see was that
Ivy had picked out another video game and was just
about to ask Levi for his half of the money
so they could buy that one. When they saw what
had happened, Levi and Ivy tried to convince the other
of why their game was the best and why it

(10:45):
should be the one they took home. It was clear
after a few minutes that the discussion was getting them nowhere,
and they left the store upset and without a new
video game. What we learned after a few days of
being upset with each other and not getting our own way,
was that it would be way more fun to be
playing together, said Levi, even if that meant we didn't

(11:05):
have the video game we wanted. He's right, added Ivy.
With all, we could either keep being upset with each other,
which was no fun at all, or we could work together,
combine our money, and get a video game we both liked.
We sat down and had a conversation, going through all
the video games we liked until we found the one
we both wanted, said Levi. And while we didn't get

(11:26):
the game that we each originally wanted, we got a
game that made us both happy, said Ivy. Then the
house was filled with more joy and happiness because we
were playing together again. Do you understand what we're saying,
asked Levi, looking at Marison, Sylphie and thankfully for the
whole entire forest. They did understand, and they decided it
was time to work together, joining mermaid and fairy magic

(11:47):
to bring back the wonderful enchanted forest they all knew
and loved. That afternoon, Levi and Ivy helped as Maris
and Sylphie made a list of all the things they wanted,
things that the mermaids would enjoy as well as the
things the fairies would enjoy. Then they created another list
that combined all the things that they could enjoy together
and a few things that they could each enjoy separately,

(12:09):
like more flowers for the fairies and more late crystals
for the mermaids. This looks amazing, declared Maris. I completely agree,
said Sylphie with a big smile, And just like that,
mermaid magic and fairy magic were once again combined to
bring back the splendor and extraordinary magnificence of the Enchanted Forest. Maris,

(12:30):
Sylphie and all the other mermaids and fairies couldn't thank
Levi and Ivy enough for all their help. They immediately
noticed how much better they felt by working and living together,
and wished they had met Levi and Ivy sooner. That day,
as Levi and Ivy walked home from that forgotten part
of the forest, they felt a great sense of happiness,
knowing they left it a lot better than when they

(12:50):
had found it, teaching the magical mystical creatures that lived
there the importance of compromise and sharing. Thanks for joining
us today. We hope you enjoyed the story and learned
