Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everyone to Lively Lewis Stories. That's right, We're
back with even more awesome adventures with Levi and Ivy.
Set your storytime eater too fun and get ready to
join the Lively Lewis crew. All you need is your
imagination and we go. I can't wait, you see, we're
my story to yes today. Have you ever wanted to
(00:21):
get more Lively Lewis in your life, Well we've got
you covered. Grab an adult and zoom over to livelyleuishop
dot com or just click on the link in our
show notes. Enough about that, let's get too today's super
Live Way Lewis story. The story you were about to
enjoy was inspired by Lanayah. Thank you so much for
your amazing idea. The carousel at the Summer Fair was
(00:46):
by far Ivy's favorite ride. Every July, when the fair
arrived in her town, she would watch as they set up.
Day after days, she would ride her bike to the
park and watch from just beyond a temporary plastic fence.
As the fair took shape. There was a teacup ride,
the super slide, bubber cars, and the funhouse. They were
all great, but day after day Ivy would return hoping
to see her favorite ride being assembled, and finally, on
(01:09):
the last day before the fair was set to open,
Ivy saw it. There it is, Ivy whispered to herself
as a smile spread across her face. The carousel is
going up. Ivy then watched us. Every magical and exotic
animal you could think of took their place on the
marvelous ride. There was an emerald green sea serpent, a
regals higer, a massive elephant, a soaring crane, and so
(01:32):
many wonderful horses. Those were Ivy's favorites, each with a
brilliant flowing vein and tail and a saddle decorated with
gems and jewels. My goal is to ride on every
single carousel horse this weekend. Ivy told her brother Levi,
who she had asked to come with her that day
to watch the setup. I know, Ivy, said Levi, but
you try to do that every year and you end
(01:52):
up using all your tickets and don't come with me
on any of the other rides. It's because the carousel
is my favorite, answered Ivy, and I don't know why
it's not your favorite too. What can be better than
spinning around and around the breeze in your face, surrounded
by so many wonderful animals. It's like being in a dream.
It's fun, Ivy. Don't get me wrong. But there are
(02:13):
other cool rides at the fair too, said Levi, hoping
to convince his sister. Like, how about that cool drop
ride or the giant swings or the roller coaster. They're
all fine, I guess, but nothing tops the carousel for me,
said Ivy before shushing her brother. Now stop talking, Leve.
They're about to take out this year's special carousel animal.
Now you see, every year the fair company picks a
(02:36):
new carousel animal to add to the ride. This allows
another carousel animal to have a little break, and it's
really fun to surprise the fair goers every summer. As
Ivy watched very seriously, she watched something being moved out
of the big trailer that held all the carousel parts.
It was something wrapped up in a big, heavy blanket.
She moved her head back and forth to try and
(02:57):
get a better view. When all of a sudden, the
blank were taken off and Ivy saw the most magnificent
thing in front of her. It was a beautiful off
white horse with a rainbow mane and tail and a
saddle painted gold. Then, not thinking it could get any better,
Ivy watched as one of the men putting together the
carousel moved some of the horse's mane to reveal a stunning, glowing,
glistening horn. It's a unicorn, Levi, unicorn, screamed Ivy with joy.
(03:27):
She jumped up and down and did a little dance
because she could not contain her excitement. Very cool, Ivy,
Can we go home now, said Levi, sounding less than enthusiastic.
He was happy for his sister, but not jumping up
and down happy. As Ivy danced around, she started to
cough a bit. Are you okay, Ivy asked Levi. You
were coughing this morning too. Are you catching a cold?
(03:51):
I'm fine, Levi answered Ivy quickly. It's the middle of summer.
No one gets a cold in the summer. Not true, Ivy,
said Levi, moving a step away from his sister. Don't
get me sick. I don't want to miss the fair.
It starts tomorrow. I know it starts tomorrow, replied Ivy,
sounding annoyed. Just calm down. Ivey really didn't think much
about what Levi had said, and hurried home on her
(04:12):
bike to tell her parents about the carousel Unicorn. Once
she got home, Ivy ran inside. Mom dad called out
Ivy muffling a cough. Where are you right here? Ivy
called back her mom, how's that cough doing? I heard
you coughing a bit this morning too. Are you feeling okay?
(04:34):
Why does everyone keep asking me that I'm fine? Said
Ivy before going on to tell her mom all about
the carousel unicorn. I can't wait for my turn to
write on that eugh that unicorn this weekend at the fair.
It'll be so much fun, Ivy said, between coughs. Ivy,
why don't you lay down for a bit, said her
(04:56):
dad as he walked into the living room. I think
there's a little bug going around, and that cough doesn't
sound great. Ivey tried to say she was okay, but
a couple of sneezes got in the way. Her mom
went to get the thermometer, and after taking Ivy's temperature,
it was clear she was coming down with a little something.
Oh no, Ivey said, feeling her throat getting a little scratchy.
(05:18):
But this weekend is the fair. I can't miss the fair.
I can't I can't miss the carousel Unicorn. Don't worry, honey,
said her mom, reassuringly. If you get plenty of rest
and lay low for a day or two, I am
sure you can make it to the fair on the
last day. But for now you have to rest. Ivey
was sent upstairs to get washed up and get in bed.
(05:39):
Her mom brought her a big glass orange juice and
read some stories to her until she fell asleep, but unfortunately,
as the afternoon turned into night, Ivey felt worse and worse.
She was so upset that she was sick, knowing that
the fair started tomorrow and only ran for three days Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday. Trying to be positive, Ivy told herself that
(05:59):
as long as she got good night's sleep, she'd likely
feel better in the morning and be able to go
to the fair. If only that was true. Ivy woke
up several times that night, each time coughing, blowing her nose,
and sneezing. Her fever hadn't gone away by morning, so
the fair wasn't an option. On Friday, Levi ended up
going to the fair with some friends, but left only
after Ivy fell asleep, so she wouldn't see him go.
(06:20):
He felt really bad that she couldn't join him. Ivy
did all she could to feel better fast. She took
the icky medicine her mom gave her, She drank big
glasses of orange juice and water to stay hydrated, and
she laid on the couch all day, sleeping on and
off to let her body rest. But unfortunately, nothing was working,
because when Ivy woke up on Saturday, she was still
(06:40):
feeling bad. Her fever had gone away, but she was
feeling weak and still coughing, sneezing and stuffy. Sorry, Ivy,
maybe you can go to the fair tomorrow, said her mom,
feeling so bad because she knew how much Ivy wanted
to ride the carousel Unicorn. Maybe, maybe, Ivy thought to herself,
(07:02):
I just can't miss the fair. Ivy looked like she
was going to cry as she laid in her bed.
The fair grounds were close enough to her house that
she could hear the music, rides and kids laughing and
having a great time. I still have tomorrow, I still
have tomorrow, Ivy said over and over again, trying to
keep a positive thought in her head. But that night,
(07:23):
Ivy was up quite a bit and didn't get much
sleep at all. Finally, she fell asleep around five am
and was able to stay asleep for the majority of
the day, which is exactly what her body needed, because
when Ivy woke up, she was feeling so much better.
She hopped out of bed and walked downstairs. Mom, Dad,
I'm feeling better, exclaimed Ivy with a big smile. Let's
(07:45):
go to the fair. While her parents were happy that
she was feeling better, they didn't look it. Why do
you look so down, asked Ivy. I just said I'm
feeling better so I can go to the fair now. Sweet.
I am so sorry, but you slept through the fair today,
said her mom. We knew you needed to sleep because
(08:06):
you were up all night, so we didn't wake you up. Honey.
It was the best thing for you. Look how great
you're feeling now, said Ivy's dad, giving his little girl
a hug. We'll spend all three days at the fair
next year, we promise. Ivy couldn't believe it. She looked
at the clock in the kitchen and at read six pm.
She had slept away the whole last day of the fair.
(08:27):
She started to cry and ran up to her room.
Her mom let her go, knowing she needed a little
time to process all of this, Ivy jumped into her
bed and cried into her pillow. She couldn't help but
think of the carousel at the fair being taken apart
and loaded back up into those big trailers for next year,
and that made her feel worse. But what would happen
to that carousel Unicorn? Would she ever see it again?
(08:48):
As Ivy lay on her bed, she felt herself drifting
off to sleep, and since she couldn't go to the fair,
she decided that sleeping was the best option. As she slept,
she dreamed, and as she dreamed, she entered a magical
world that only exist in her imagination. After a moment
or two, Ivy opened her eyes. She thought she might
be dreaming, but it really did feel like she was awake.
(09:09):
So she walked downstairs to see if Levi and her
mom and dad were around, but she couldn't find them anywhere.
She walked around the house and everything was quiet except
for the faint sound of music playing in the backyard.
It sounded just like the carousel music at the fair.
Have You walked down to her back deck and couldn't
believe her eyes. Right there under her treehouse was the
carousel from the fair, and the only thing on that
(09:31):
carousel was the unicorn she had seen days before. Oh
my goodness, this is wonderful. I can ride on the
carousel unicorn. Now I didn't miss it. Ivy slowly walked
towards the carousel and stepped onto the turning circular base.
The carousel music played gently, filling her whole world with happiness.
(09:52):
I have you only wished that, Levi, her mom and
her dad could be there with her. I guess one
little ride is better than nothing, said Ivy as she
hopped into the unicorn and grabbed the It was then
that things got even better. Who said we're only taking
one little ride? Asked a voice? Who said that, called
out Ivy. Why I did, said the unicorn as it
(10:14):
turned its head to look at Ivy. Ivy, my dear,
I've been waiting for you all weekend. I wanted to
take you for a ride from the moment I saw
you when they took me out of that big trailer.
Oh my goodness, you talk too, exclaimed Ivy. Yes I do,
giggled the unicorn. My name is Lonnie, and if you'd
like to come along, we can go for a ride
(10:34):
around your town. Ibey couldn't speak, she was so excited. Instead,
she nodded over and over again and held on tight.
Lonnie smiled, hopped off the carousel and was galloping through
the streets of Ivy's neighborhood in known time, her beautiful
rainbow mane and tail waving in the breeze, and her
unicorn horn glistening in the setting sun. Ivy and Lonnie
(10:55):
ran toward the park and through the playground. Then it
was off to ivy school, past the candy shop, at
the ice cream store and the library. Ivy told Lonnie
all about her a little town as they went. After
showing her all around, Ivy thought her time with her
new friend was done, but it was just beginning. Ivy.
(11:15):
Thank you for showing me around your town, said Lonnie
as they rested in the big field where Ivy and
lee by plaid soccer. I was thinking I could show
you where I live now, would that be okay? Ivy
again couldn't believed what she was hearing. Of course, Lonnie answered, Ivy,
let's go, expecting to zoom away at a strong gallop.
(11:36):
Ivy couldn't have been more surprised when Lonnie's hoofs began
to lift off the ground as they soared together into
the sky. They were now flying over Ivy's house and
the fairgrounds. Everything looked so small below. Monnie climbed higher
and higher into the twilight sky with Ivy as stars
glimmered all around them. The ground then turned to water
as they continued their journey before landing on a beautiful island.
(11:58):
Ivy had never seen so many flowers before. Welcome to
my home, said Lonnie. Then Ivy and her unicorn friend
played on the beach surrounded by giant, flowering rose bushes,
wishing their time together would never end, but sadly it
had to. As Lonnie and Ivy flew back to her house,
Lonnie told Ivy how happy she was that she was
feeling better and that they got a chance to meet.
(12:21):
I'll make sure I'm back again next year when the
fair comes to your town, said Lonnie as she landed
in Ivy's backyard. Just don't get sick and then we
can spend the whole weekend together. Ivy giggled and assured
Lonnie that she would see her next year at the fair.
Thank you so much, Lonnie. I had the most wonderful
time with you, said Ivy, giving her new friend a
big hug. Lonnie said the same, and by the light
(12:43):
of the moon above, she flew back to the fairgrounds.
Ivy quietly walked inside her house and before she knew it,
she was waking up in her bed. Ivy, you're awake,
said Lee by walking into Ivy's room. I was hoping
you'd get up before I went to bed. I really
missed you at the fair this weekend, it just wasn't
the same. I even went on the carousel for you.
(13:04):
I wrote on that new unicorn. It really was a
lot of fun. And I asked the person that runs
the fair if they could please bring the unicorn back
next year, and they said yes. Wow, thanks so much,
Levi said, I'd be knowing for sure that now she
would see Lonnie again. I'm just happy. I'm feeling better
me too. And to celebrate here, I got you something
(13:25):
at the fair, said Levi. It's a candy grab bag
filled with all kinds of tasty sweet treats. Ivey thanked
her brother and opened the bag to see what was inside,
and instead of a bag filled completely with candy, She
also found a necklace, but not just any necklace, a
unicorn necklace, exclaimed Ivy as she looked down at the
piece of jewelry and saw Lonnie's face staring back at her.
(13:48):
That's strange, said Levi. I thought the grab bags only
had candy in them. Well, aren't you lucky? I beheld
the necklace close to her heart as she looked out
her window at the stars she had just flown through
with Lonnie Levi, I sure am. Thanks for joining us today.

again couldn't believed what she was hearing. Of course, Lonnie answered, Ivy,
let's go, expecting to zoom away at a strong gallop.
(11:36):
Ivy couldn't have been more surprised when Lonnie's hoofs began
to lift off the ground as they soared together into
the sky. They were now flying over Ivy's house and
the fairgrounds. Everything looked so small below. Monnie climbed higher
and higher into the twilight sky with Ivy as stars
glimmered all around them. The ground then turned to water
as they continued their journey before landing on a beautiful island.
(11:58):
Ivy had never seen so many flowers before. Welcome to
my home, said Lonnie. Then Ivy and her unicorn friend
played on the beach surrounded by giant, flowering rose bushes,
wishing their time together would never end, but sadly it
had to. As Lonnie and Ivy flew back to her house,
Lonnie told Ivy how happy she was that she was
feeling better and that they got a chance to meet.
(12:21):
I'll make sure I'm back again next year when the
fair comes to your town, said Lonnie as she landed
in Ivy's backyard. Just don't get sick and then we
can spend the whole weekend together. Ivy giggled and assured
Lonnie that she would see her next year at the fair.
Thank you so much, Lonnie. I had the most wonderful
time with you, said Ivy, giving her new friend a
big hug. Lonnie said the same, and by the light
(12:43):
of the moon above, she flew back to the fairgrounds.
Ivy quietly walked inside her house and before she knew it,
she was waking up in her bed. Ivy, you're awake,
said Lee by walking into Ivy's room. I was hoping
you'd get up before I went to bed. I really
missed you at the fair this weekend, it just wasn't
the same. I even went on the carousel for you.
(13:04):
I wrote on that new unicorn. It really was a
lot of fun. And I asked the person that runs
the fair if they could please bring the unicorn back
next year, and they said yes. Wow, thanks so much,
Levi said, I'd be knowing for sure that now she
would see Lonnie again. I'm just happy. I'm feeling better
me too. And to celebrate here, I got you something
(13:25):
at the fair, said Levi. It's a candy grab bag
filled with all kinds of tasty sweet treats. Ivey thanked
her brother and opened the bag to see what was inside,
and instead of a bag filled completely with candy, She
also found a necklace, but not just any necklace, a
unicorn necklace, exclaimed Ivy as she looked down at the
piece of jewelry and saw Lonnie's face staring back at her.
(13:48):
That's strange, said Levi. I thought the grab bags only
had candy in them. Well, aren't you lucky? I beheld
the necklace close to her heart as she looked out
her window at the stars she had just flown through
with Lonnie Levi, I sure am. Thanks for joining us today.
