Lewis Story.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Hey friends, this is part two, so if you haven't
listened to the first part, run over there, listen to
that and join us back on this episode. Luma looked
relieved that Levi and Ivy were so nice and willing
to talk with her. She only hoped now that they
could help. You've landed in a magical land. This forest
is my home, began Luma, enchanted, and the fairies, gnomes
(01:02):
and animals that live here are all magic. We've lived
here in peace and harmony for thousands of years, but
for the last few months, we've discovered that there are
creatures that want to take over our land and use
it for magic only for themselves. Levi and Ivy leaned
in closer to hear every detail. So is that why
(01:22):
we're here, asked Ivy. Did you use your magic to
create that storm and land our plane here so we
could help you? That's right, said Luma, looking down. I'm
so sorry, but we didn't know what else to do.
The wise wizard that lives here thought someone on the
plane could help, and thankfully.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
As soon as it landed, I saw the good in
the two of you.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Also, you may have noticed that we put a little
frozen spell on everyone else, just so we could focus
on the two of you. We hope that's okay, and
who is we exactly?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Asked Levi.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Follow me, said Luma as she led Levi and Ivy
off the plane and into the forest. A large inflatable
slide was now attached to the side of the plane
to allow Levi and Ivy to get back down to
the ground, and as soon as they reached the bottom
of the slide, they were surrounded by all different types
of creatures. There were other fairies like Luma with glowing skin,
and animals of every kind. There were gnomes wearing giant
(02:16):
hats that covered their eyes, but not their giant smiles.
Everyone whom Levi and Ivy saw looked friendly and welcoming,
and also very happy to see them.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Can they help us, Luma called out one of the nomes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well, that's up to them, said Luma, reluctant to answer
for Levi and Ivy, Can.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You help us?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Levi and Ivy then looked at each other, and in
an instant they knew their answer. We'll try our best, Luma,
they said, as the crowd that had gathered around them erupted.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
In an applause. But what do we need to do,
asked Levi.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Luma then walked Levi and Ivy over to the edge
of a beautiful, sparkling river and told them the situation
they were in. As I told you before, our forest
home is in chained and it's what gives all of
us our magic, Luma began. But our powers have been
weakening over the last few months, and that's because a
group of mischievous creatures known as the Gleams have come
(03:11):
along to take our forest from us, and with that,
all of our magical powers They want to use the
forest power for their good only and don't care about
the community or honoring the enchanted forest and all the
amazing power it holds. Wow, we're really sorry to hear that,
replied iv after hearing Luma's story. Yes, and unfortunately, the
(03:33):
only way to get your plane back in the sky
and flying is to use our magic, said Luma.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I didn't think of that before I created the storm
and brought it down to land here. So what you're
saying is if we don't stop the Gleams, then we're
all stuck here forever, asked Levi. Luma just nodded her
head and then showed great excitement, saying, but I know
you two can help us. I felt it as you
were flying over our forest. That's why I chose you
(04:02):
and brought your plane here. Levi and Ivy knew they
had a difficult journey ahead of them, but it was
an important one. They had to help Luma and all
the fairies and gnomes that lived in the Enchanted Forest.
They were excited and happily joined Luma on her quest
to find the Gleams and stop them from stealing the
forest magic. But what will happen to everyone else on
the plane, asked Levi before they headed off into the forest.
(04:25):
They'll be just fine, answered Luna, reassuringly. When we stopped
the Gleams, which I know we can, I'll use my
fully recharged magic to put your plane back up in
the sky. Then everyone aboard will wake up as if
they just had the best nap. Ever, no one will
even remember landing here except you two, of course, and
no time will have passed at all. Your flight will
(04:46):
still be right on time. Levi and Ivy were happy
that their parents and everyone else aboard the plane were
safe as they set off to find the Gleams, and
it didn't take long before Levi and Ivy knew they
were on the right path. It sounded like giggling, and
it was getting louder and louder as Levi and Ivy
followed Luma down a dimly lit forest trail. It's so
(05:06):
strange how the part of the forest where we land
was so bright and colorful, and this part is so
dim and dreary, said Ivy. That's because the Gleams have
taken almost all the magic from this part of the forest,
answered Luma. With the magic goes the light and color.
They have been using the forest magic only for themselves,
(05:27):
like wishing for anything they want to eat whenever they
wont it, or creating toys and games by snapping their fingers,
and even wishing for gold and jewels with just the
snap of their fingers. Everything Levi and Ivy were hearing
just sounded selfish and wrong. It made them want to
help Luma and the rest of her forest friends even more. Now,
(05:47):
why not share all of that with everyone in the forest,
asked Levi. Yeah, why keep it all for yourself, added Ivy,
especially knowing that it's taking the forest magic and beauty away.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That's just wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You're very right, said Luma. My friends and I have
always used the force magic to do good. We share
everything and never ask for too much. Just to live
in this wondrous, enchanted places. Our greatest wish, not food
or toys or gold. And as Luma finished talking, that's
when they saw it. Levi and Ivy and Luma made
(06:21):
their way around to bend in the path and saw
where all of the forest magic was going. The light
was almost blinding as the magic area was being concentrated
into a little spot and around that spot stood the Gleams,
making wish after wish and draining the force of its
magic and power.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
We wish for more cookies.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Called out a Gleam creature, as cookies rained from the
sky and landed on the mountain of sweet treats that
already looked to be enough to feed every creature in
the forest for years. We want more toys, called out
another one of the Gleams, as they walked through a
sea of toys that had already been wished for. And
we're not even being enjoyed or played with. More gold
for us, called out another group of Gleams, as they
(07:03):
used the shiny trikets to skip across a shimmering, brilliant
blue lake. Levi and Ivy and Luma couldn't believe what
they were seeing. Follow me, whispered Luma as she led
Levi and Ivy around the lake and out of the
view of the Gleams. Luna told Levi and Ivy to
jump on a giant leaf and sailed them over to
a floating island, where they met another extraordinary character in
(07:25):
their marvelous adventure through the enchanted forest. Levi Ivy, this
is Walden. He's a very wise wizard who is as
old as the forest itself, exclaimed Luma. He's been working
on a way for us to get to the forest
back from the Gleams, and that's why we brought you here. Hello,
Levi and Ivy, said Walden in a deep voice. It's
(07:47):
the power you hold that will help us get our
home back. We're all running out of magic, even me,
and we need two not magic creatures that won't be
affected by the power that the Gleams now have. Each
day they they weaken us all a bit more. You
don't require magic to function, so you're our only hope.
Levi and Ivy knew the situation was getting serious after
(08:09):
they talked to Walden. After hearing his stories, they said
again that they would help in any way they could.
Then Ivy had an idea. Can I have a minute
to talk with my brother?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Asked Ivy.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Walden and Loomas said absolutely and hoped that they would
return with an answer to the problem.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They had been dealing with.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
LEVI, doesn't this at all remind you of that time
in school when Tommy and Katie collected all the recess
points and then only use them for the reciss activities
that they.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Wanted to do, asked Ivy. Totally, answered Levi.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Even though every time someone else in the class got
the recess points, they would take a vote and see
what activities would benefit the whole class. Yes, Tommy and
Katie were being selfish and thinking only of themselves, making
everyone else in the class sad, said Ivy. That's what
the Gleams are doing. The magic in the fourth is
like recess points. Luma and her friends always use the
(09:03):
forest magic for the good of everyone, and in doing that,
everyone had a great time living here, and the Gleams
are doing the exact.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Opposite, added Levi.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
They're using their recess points, or in this case, the
forest magic, only for the things that they want, and
they're the only ones having a good time. That's when
Levi and Ivy remembered what they did to change that
situation back at school with Tommy and Katie. They just
hoped it would work to help with the Gleamers. They
returned to Luma and Walden, who were waiting patiently to
(09:33):
hear if they had any ideas. I think we need
to use kindness to deal with the Gleams, said Levi.
We need to talk with them and let them know
that what they're doing is affecting everyone who calls the
forest home. We've tried to talk with them, but they're
just so big and loud. It's like they didn't even
know we were there, answered Luma. Well, we're big kids,
(09:56):
and we can handle those Gleams, said Ivy with great confidence.
Levi and Ivy smiled Atluma and Walden, promising that they
would do all they could. Then they asked to be
led back to the Gleams. After a short leaf boat
ride across the lake, they were back at the bend
in the path where they first saw the Gleams making
wish after wish with the forest magic. Let's go do it,
(10:20):
said Levi to Ivy. They gave each other a high
five and walked toward the Gleams and all their piles
of sweet treats, toys, and gold treasure. Who are you,
called out one of the Gleams, dropping a giant chocolate
chip cookie on the ground.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Shouted another, tossing a gold bar in the river. Let
me handle this, said the biggest Gleam of all of them,
as he walked toward Levi and Ivy with a not
so welcoming look on his face?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
What are you doing in our forest?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
That's when Levi and Ivy introduced themselves and explained to
the Gleams what and who had brought them there. We're
stealing all the magic from this enchanted forest by making
wish after wish for things that only benefit you, began Levi.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
But while you're doing that, you're.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Also taking the magic away from the fairies and gnomes
that live here. Your selfish actions are going to force
them to leave the home they love, and they've lived
in it for thousands.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Of years, said Ivy.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Do you even know that you need to think of
others instead of just thinking about yourselves. The Biggest Gleams
stood in front of Levi and Ivy, listening to every
word they say. He was silent for quite a while,
which made Levi and Ivy question how their conversation was
going to end. No one has ever explained it to
us like that, said the Biggest Gleam. We didn't realize
(11:44):
that by making our wishes for the forest magic, that we.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Were taking magic away from anyone else.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
But on the other hand, we love all this stuff
and it wouldn't be fun to give it up and
just like Levi and Ivy told Tommy and Katie at
their school, they didn't have to give up all activities
that they liked, They just had to include everyone in
the class on making the decision. That way, everyone had
a voice and everyone got something they want. So a
good way to start would be to give the fairies
(12:11):
and gnomes of the Force an apology for what you've
done and stop.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Making so many wishes.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Then I think everyone will be okay with you staying here,
said Levi as he looked over at Luna and Walden,
who were nodding their heads in agreement. It's not that
we want you to go, it's that way. We want
you to stop using all of our magic, said Luna.
And you don't need so much of everything. You'll learn
to enjoy things more if you don't have them around
all the time, because then they'll be special. The Gleams
(12:38):
all realized at that moment that they were wrong and
they had some work to do to make everything right
with the fairies and the nomes that lived in the forest.
Walden knew what to do and help the Gleams to
reverse their wishes, which would bring back the forest magic.
He helped them send back the sweet treats, the toys,
the games, and all the golden jewels, saving only their
favorites that the Gleams promised to share with the fairies
(12:59):
and gnomes of the forest. You must believe me that
there are so many priceless treasures in this enchanted forest
that exist already for all of us to share. Just
allow yourself to experience this place without wishes, and you'll
see that, assured Walden as he talked to the Gleams,
and one by one, the piles of things went away.
(13:19):
The light in that part of the forest grew brighter
and brighter, until its enchanting glow touched every leaf and
flower that was now shimmering and sparkling once again. Instantly,
the other fairies and nomes felt their magic returning, and
when Levi, Ivy, Luma, Walden, and all the Gleams walked
back to the plane where they had been waiting, they
cheered with excitement, knowing the plan had worked and that
(13:40):
Levi and Ivy had restored the forest magic. Thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You're welcome,
very very welcome, answered Levi and Ivy. It was our
pleasure to help you Luma and Walden explained what had
happened to the group and introduce the Gleams to everyone.
(14:01):
They apologized for their selfish ways and made a guarantee
that as long as they were in the enchanted forest,
it would not take its magic. By this time, Levi
and Ivy knew they had only one other thing to do,
get their plane back up in the sky so they
could continue their trip and see their cousins.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
We can't thank you enough, Levi and Ivy, said Luma
and Walden.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And now that we get to have all of our
magic back, we can get your plane back up in
the air and on your way. Levi and Ivy said
goodbye to all their new friends and ran up the
slide to get back into the plane. Once on board,
they rolled up the slide, closed the door, and prepared
to fly up, up and away. Everyone on the plane
(14:43):
was still frozen, but Luma said they would stay that
way until the plane was safely back up in the sky.
So on the count of three, Luma waved her hands,
which lifted the plane back into the sky, and with
a swirl of Walden's wand it zoomed forward through the clouds.
Then only a few seconds passed before everyone started to unfree,
feeling as if they had the best nap ever.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Everyone, this is your captain speaking. It seems that we've
flown out of that rough turbulence and won't need to
make that emergency landing after all, said the captain over
the loudspeaker. We'll be landing normally at our destination in
no time, so sit back and enjoy the rest of
your flight.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Wow, what a great nap, said Levi and Ivy's parents.
I feel so rested.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
That's great to hear, mom and dad, said Levi as
he and Ivy looked out the window to see the
last little trace of the enchanted forest disappear underneath the
sea of puffy clouds. So did you two nap with
all that turbulence or were you still a little nervous?
Asked Levi and Ivy's dad. I hope it wasn't too
scary for you.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Added their mom.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Nope, not scary at all, said Levi with a little smile.
I would say it was magical, said Ivy as she
gave her brother a wink and they stared out the
window into the wide open sky.
Speaker 2 (16:03):

(07:47):
the power you hold that will help us get our
home back. We're all running out of magic, even me,
and we need two not magic creatures that won't be
affected by the power that the Gleams now have. Each
day they they weaken us all a bit more. You
don't require magic to function, so you're our only hope.
Levi and Ivy knew the situation was getting serious after
(08:09):
they talked to Walden. After hearing his stories, they said
again that they would help in any way they could.
Then Ivy had an idea. Can I have a minute
to talk with my brother?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Asked Ivy.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Walden and Loomas said absolutely and hoped that they would
return with an answer to the problem.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They had been dealing with.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
LEVI, doesn't this at all remind you of that time
in school when Tommy and Katie collected all the recess
points and then only use them for the reciss activities
that they.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Wanted to do, asked Ivy. Totally, answered Levi.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Even though every time someone else in the class got
the recess points, they would take a vote and see
what activities would benefit the whole class. Yes, Tommy and
Katie were being selfish and thinking only of themselves, making
everyone else in the class sad, said Ivy. That's what
the Gleams are doing. The magic in the fourth is
like recess points. Luma and her friends always use the
(09:03):
forest magic for the good of everyone, and in doing that,
everyone had a great time living here, and the Gleams
are doing the exact.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Opposite, added Levi.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
They're using their recess points, or in this case, the
forest magic, only for the things that they want, and
they're the only ones having a good time. That's when
Levi and Ivy remembered what they did to change that
situation back at school with Tommy and Katie. They just
hoped it would work to help with the Gleamers. They
returned to Luma and Walden, who were waiting patiently to
(09:33):
hear if they had any ideas. I think we need
to use kindness to deal with the Gleams, said Levi.
We need to talk with them and let them know
that what they're doing is affecting everyone who calls the
forest home. We've tried to talk with them, but they're
just so big and loud. It's like they didn't even
know we were there, answered Luma. Well, we're big kids,
(09:56):
and we can handle those Gleams, said Ivy with great confidence.
Levi and Ivy smiled Atluma and Walden, promising that they
would do all they could. Then they asked to be
led back to the Gleams. After a short leaf boat
ride across the lake, they were back at the bend
in the path where they first saw the Gleams making
wish after wish with the forest magic. Let's go do it,
(10:20):
said Levi to Ivy. They gave each other a high
five and walked toward the Gleams and all their piles
of sweet treats, toys, and gold treasure. Who are you,
called out one of the Gleams, dropping a giant chocolate
chip cookie on the ground.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Shouted another, tossing a gold bar in the river. Let
me handle this, said the biggest Gleam of all of them,
as he walked toward Levi and Ivy with a not
so welcoming look on his face?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
What are you doing in our forest?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
That's when Levi and Ivy introduced themselves and explained to
the Gleams what and who had brought them there. We're
stealing all the magic from this enchanted forest by making
wish after wish for things that only benefit you, began Levi.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
But while you're doing that, you're.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Also taking the magic away from the fairies and gnomes
that live here. Your selfish actions are going to force
them to leave the home they love, and they've lived
in it for thousands.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Of years, said Ivy.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Do you even know that you need to think of
others instead of just thinking about yourselves. The Biggest Gleams
stood in front of Levi and Ivy, listening to every
word they say. He was silent for quite a while,
which made Levi and Ivy question how their conversation was
going to end. No one has ever explained it to
us like that, said the Biggest Gleam. We didn't realize
(11:44):
that by making our wishes for the forest magic, that we.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Were taking magic away from anyone else.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
But on the other hand, we love all this stuff
and it wouldn't be fun to give it up and
just like Levi and Ivy told Tommy and Katie at
their school, they didn't have to give up all activities
that they liked, They just had to include everyone in
the class on making the decision. That way, everyone had
a voice and everyone got something they want. So a
good way to start would be to give the fairies
(12:11):
and gnomes of the Force an apology for what you've
done and stop.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Making so many wishes.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Then I think everyone will be okay with you staying here,
said Levi as he looked over at Luna and Walden,
who were nodding their heads in agreement. It's not that
we want you to go, it's that way. We want
you to stop using all of our magic, said Luna.
And you don't need so much of everything. You'll learn
to enjoy things more if you don't have them around
all the time, because then they'll be special. The Gleams
(12:38):
all realized at that moment that they were wrong and
they had some work to do to make everything right
with the fairies and the nomes that lived in the forest.
Walden knew what to do and help the Gleams to
reverse their wishes, which would bring back the forest magic.
He helped them send back the sweet treats, the toys,
the games, and all the golden jewels, saving only their
favorites that the Gleams promised to share with the fairies
(12:59):
and gnomes of the forest. You must believe me that
there are so many priceless treasures in this enchanted forest
that exist already for all of us to share. Just
allow yourself to experience this place without wishes, and you'll
see that, assured Walden as he talked to the Gleams,
and one by one, the piles of things went away.
(13:19):
The light in that part of the forest grew brighter
and brighter, until its enchanting glow touched every leaf and
flower that was now shimmering and sparkling once again. Instantly,
the other fairies and nomes felt their magic returning, and
when Levi, Ivy, Luma, Walden, and all the Gleams walked
back to the plane where they had been waiting, they
cheered with excitement, knowing the plan had worked and that
(13:40):
Levi and Ivy had restored the forest magic. Thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You're welcome,
very very welcome, answered Levi and Ivy. It was our
pleasure to help you Luma and Walden explained what had
happened to the group and introduce the Gleams to everyone.
(14:01):
They apologized for their selfish ways and made a guarantee
that as long as they were in the enchanted forest,
it would not take its magic. By this time, Levi
and Ivy knew they had only one other thing to do,
get their plane back up in the sky so they
could continue their trip and see their cousins.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
We can't thank you enough, Levi and Ivy, said Luma
and Walden.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And now that we get to have all of our
magic back, we can get your plane back up in
the air and on your way. Levi and Ivy said
goodbye to all their new friends and ran up the
slide to get back into the plane. Once on board,
they rolled up the slide, closed the door, and prepared
to fly up, up and away. Everyone on the plane
(14:43):
was still frozen, but Luma said they would stay that
way until the plane was safely back up in the sky.
So on the count of three, Luma waved her hands,
which lifted the plane back into the sky, and with
a swirl of Walden's wand it zoomed forward through the clouds.
Then only a few seconds passed before everyone started to unfree,
feeling as if they had the best nap ever.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Everyone, this is your captain speaking. It seems that we've
flown out of that rough turbulence and won't need to
make that emergency landing after all, said the captain over
the loudspeaker. We'll be landing normally at our destination in
no time, so sit back and enjoy the rest of
your flight.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Wow, what a great nap, said Levi and Ivy's parents.
I feel so rested.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
That's great to hear, mom and dad, said Levi as
he and Ivy looked out the window to see the
last little trace of the enchanted forest disappear underneath the
sea of puffy clouds. So did you two nap with
all that turbulence or were you still a little nervous?
Asked Levi and Ivy's dad. I hope it wasn't too
scary for you.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Added their mom.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Nope, not scary at all, said Levi with a little smile.
I would say it was magical, said Ivy as she
gave her brother a wink and they stared out the
window into the wide open sky.
