00:00What's in the bags, Addy?
00:27These are goodie bags for my sleepover.
00:28They have stickers, a pen that writes with three colors, glow sticks, a paper crown, and a kazoo.
00:36Can I come to your sleepover?
00:39Sorry, Carl. It's just for my friends and me.
00:42But you can have a goodie bag.
00:44Really?
00:45You too, Michael.
00:47Thanks, Addy.
00:48They're here!
00:50Hi!
00:51All right, we're here!
00:53That's gonna be awesome!
00:55What should we do first, everyone?
00:56I don't know.
00:57Hmm, so many choices.
00:59Uh, we could make fortune tellers.
01:01How about we play a game? Sardines!
01:04Sardines?
01:05Um, Asha?
01:06I have lots of other good stuff to eat.
01:08Not that kind of sardines.
01:11Sardines is this great game I know.
01:13It's kind of reverse hide-and-seek.
01:14How do you play?
01:16It's easy.
01:17One person hides and everyone else seeks.
01:19When you find the first person, you hide with them until everyone is together again.
01:23Sounds fun.
01:24Okay, let's play!
01:26I'll hide first.
01:27You guys stay here and count to ten.
01:30One, two, three...
01:34There you are!
01:48There you are!
02:02Shhh!
02:04Ah-ha! Found you!
02:15Shhh! Quiet, Maya!
02:22What are you looking for, Lexi?
02:24We're playing a game called Sardines, and I'm trying to find everyone.
02:28I think I heard lots of giggling upstairs.
02:32Really? Are they all up there?
02:36Sounded like it.
02:38Oh, I found you! Finally!
02:53Oh, sorry, Lexi. We were waiting for you to find us.
02:57And Maya thought it would be fun to draw on our faces.
03:02See?
03:04They look pretty funny.
03:06Yeah, they do.
03:07Hey, let's do something else now.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Oh, okay. How about we go down and make fortune tellers?
03:13Or we could go see what's in Hattie's goodie bags.
03:15Yes, let's do that.
03:16Look at Carl.
03:29I like his dance.
03:32Come on, let's all do it.
03:34Whoop, whoop!
03:36Wait!
03:37Do you guys remember that dance we did at school last week?
03:40Yeah, let's do that!
03:43How does this dance start?
03:45Oh, right, yes!
03:47I never learned that dance.
03:49I went to the dentist that day.
03:50Remember?
03:51It's easy!
03:52You'll catch on!
03:53Woo!
03:54Let's go!
03:55Go, Maya!
03:56Go, Maya!
03:57Woo!
03:59Woo!
04:00Get it, girl!
04:03After snacks, maybe we can make fortune tellers.
04:09Or cupcakes!
04:10Or we could go outside and watch the sunset.
04:12With our cupcakes!
04:14I know!
04:15Let's make fortune tellers!
04:17Oh!
04:18I love making fortune tellers!
04:20Great idea, Asha!
04:21That's what I said.
04:23I have some paper and pencils in my room.
04:25Come on!
04:30I guess they didn't hear me when I said it.
04:34P-U-R-P-L-E!
04:37Ooh!
04:38What does yours say?
04:39I love it!
04:46You said...
04:47Love it!
04:48Mm!
04:49Mm-hmm!
04:50Mm!
04:51Wink, mm-hmm!
04:53Mm!
04:57Ha!
04:58Mm-mm!
04:59Mm-mm!
05:00Mm-mm!
05:01Mm!
05:02Mm!
05:03Mm-mm!
05:04Mm!
05:05Hello, Lexi. I was just saying good evening to a visitor in my yard. Have you been doing origami?
05:17Oh, yes. Sort of. It's a fortune teller.
05:22How does it work?
05:24I'll show you. What's your favorite color?
05:26Well, tonight the silver moon is calling.
05:30Okay. I'll spell out the word S-I-L-V-E-R. Now I'll open this flap and read your fortune.
05:41What does it say?
05:42You will make a new friend.
05:45Perhaps that's our new friend, Mr. Owl.
05:54It looks like your friends are inside with their fortune tellers, Lexi.
06:01They are.
06:02But you came outside.
06:05Yeah. I think I want to go home.
06:10I feel like my friends forgot about me steal water.
06:13They hardly noticed when I was the last one to find them in sardines.
06:16And they all did this dance that I never learned, and it felt like they just ignored me when I suggested making fortune tellers.
06:24They probably don't even know I'm gone.
06:27There you are, Lexi.
06:28Come on inside. We're getting ready to do a sleeping bag race.
06:34No thanks. I'd rather stay out here.
06:36Really? Are you sure?
06:40Are you okay?
06:41I was just about to tell Lexi a story.
06:49You were?
06:50Did you say you have a story, Stillwater?
06:52I want to hear it too.
06:53Wonderful.
06:55Come sit and join us.
06:57Long ago, in a small village, preparations were being made for the coming monsoon rains.
07:12They had just completed harvesting their crops, and all agreed that a special building, a granary, must be built to protect them from the great rains that were on the way.
07:25Here is where we should build a granary, it is wide and flat. This is the perfect spot, right here. Okay.
07:31However, there was one wise but quiet villager who did not agree, but it's too low. It will flood here during monsoon season.
07:37But no one was listening, so no one heard.
07:39No one was listening, so no one heard.
07:44We should build a granary out of bricks made of mud.
07:46Bricks are a good idea.
07:48That sounds better.
07:49If we have a granary, we have a granary, we have a granary.
07:51It is a granary, it is wide and flat. This is the perfect spot, right here. Okay.
07:53Okay.
07:54However, there was one wise but quiet villager who did not agree, but it's too low. It will flood here during monsoon season.
08:03But no one was listening, so no one heard.
08:07We should build a granary out of bricks made of mud.
08:12Bricks are a good idea.
08:13That sounds perfect. Yes, that's what we should do, but what if the mud bricks melt in the rain?
08:18It would be better to build a granary out of wood, but again the quiet villagers voice was not listened to
08:28Listen to me. I know what I'm talking about. These are fine bricks. Yes
08:44The quiet villager knew that a granary should be built up off the ground on stilts
08:52He thought about speaking up to remind the others, but felt that no one listened anyway
08:59So this time he remained silent
09:02Look at that! Almost finished. Our grain will be perfectly safe in here. Mark my word
09:13Looks very safe. Oh seems dirty
09:18The greenery was completed and the monsoon rains came
09:43Soon as expected the village was flooded
09:51The mud bricks grew soggy and melted just as the quiet villager had said they would
09:58He would
10:00Oh
10:02No
10:04Oh
10:06All this work for nothing
10:08What are we going to do now?
10:10All of the crops they had stored inside the granary were lost
10:16We're lost
10:24That quiet villager should have spoken up
10:26He tried but the other villagers didn't listen to him
10:30What do you think Addy?
10:31I think
10:32Maybe you're both right
10:34The quiet villager should have kept trying to speak up
10:36Sometimes it's hard to speak up
10:38Especially when you feel like no one is listening anyway
10:42Is that how you feel tonight, Lexi?
10:44Yes
10:46Oh
10:47I'm so sorry
10:48I had no idea
10:50Yeah
10:51Me too
10:53I think
10:54I should have listened better too
10:56I'm pretty sure you were the one who first suggested we make fortune tellers, Lexi
11:00Not me
11:03Thanks
11:04We should have listened better
11:05I'm sorry
11:06I know I should have kept trying to speak up
11:10I know I should have kept trying to speak up
11:12It's just
11:13I don't always know how to get people to listen
11:16It can be difficult for all of us sometimes, Lexi
11:20But there may be some things we can do to help us be heard
11:25Like what?
11:26Try this
11:28Take a deep breath and sit up straight and tall
11:32Wow
11:38As soon as I sat up tall and confident everyone looked at me
11:43Okay, that's enough
11:45You can stop looking at me now
11:47Would you come back to the sleepover now, Lexi?
11:52You can decide what we do next, okay?
11:54Okay
11:55Two words
11:57Popcorn buffet
11:59Yes
12:00That is an excellent idea
12:02Goodbye, Stillwater
12:03Goodbye, Stillwater
12:04Bye, Stillwater
12:05Bye, Stillwater
12:08Delicious
12:09I love caramel sauce
12:11Chocolate for me
12:12Looks like some other people like popcorn too
12:17There's plenty to go around
12:19Yeah
12:20Woo!
12:21Thank you
12:23My favorite
12:24This was a great idea, Lexi
12:26I'm glad we listened to you
12:28Thank you
12:29It's so good
12:30Ah, isn't it wonderful, Mr. Owl
12:37The sounds you can hear at night
12:40Michael!
12:41Michael!
12:42Michael!
12:43Michael, wake up!
12:44It's snowed last night!
12:45Oh yeah!
12:46There was supposed to be a huge snow storm!
12:47Let's go check it out!
12:48Woo!
12:49Snow day!
12:50Woo!
12:51Snow day!
12:52Snow day!
12:53It's snow day!
12:54Whoa!
12:55Snow day!
12:56Smile!
12:57Snow day!
12:58Woo!
12:59It's snow day!
13:00Snow day!
13:01Snow day!
13:02Snow day!
13:03Snow day!
13:05Wake up!
13:07It snowed last night!
13:09Oh, yeah! There was supposed to be a huge snowstorm.
13:13Let's go check it out.
13:15Woo! Snow day!
13:23Oh, seriously?
13:25This is the huge snowstorm?
13:29It was supposed to be up to my knee,
13:31but it's barely a sprinkle.
13:33But we can still
13:35stomp through the snow and make footprints,
13:37right?
13:39Sure, but if it snowed as much
13:41as it was supposed to,
13:43we'd be able to do a whole lot more than just
13:45footprints.
13:47Yeah, this is awesome!
13:49Yeah!
13:51Yeah!
13:53Hey, look! Molly and Leo
13:55are making snow angels!
13:57More like grass angels.
13:59I guess I'll go say hi.
14:09Too bad about the snow, isn't it?
14:11What are you talking about?
14:13This is awesome!
14:15We made snow angels and snow starfish!
14:17And snow bananas!
14:19It didn't snow where we used to live,
14:21so this is the first time
14:23it's ever snowed at our house.
14:25That's cool,
14:27but this is way less snow
14:29than there usually is.
14:31Just wait until it actually snows.
14:33Then you'll really love it.
14:35I'm sure we will, but we love this, too.
14:37Oh!
14:39You know what we haven't done yet?
14:41Snowballs!
14:43That's a great idea, Leo.
14:45Let's go find some fresh snow.
14:47But this snow isn't wet enough for snowballs.
14:49If you pack it together, it'll just crumble.
14:51Let's just try it.
14:53Go ahead.
14:55I'd rather wait for better snow.
14:57Here comes the first snowball pitch of the season!
15:01It's going, going...
15:03I got it!
15:05And it...
15:07didn't get very far.
15:09At least we found a way to make it snow.
15:13I told you,
15:15this isn't good snowball snow.
15:17It's still the first time we ever made snowballs
15:19from our own front yard.
15:21And I think that's pretty exciting.
15:23What other fun snow things can we do?
15:25Not much.
15:29Well, I just thought of something.
15:31Oh, me too!
15:33Okay.
15:34We both say it on three.
15:36One...
15:37Two...
15:38Snowman!
15:39Exactly what I was thinking!
15:46I've got the mustache already.
15:48I hate to break it to you,
15:51but there's not even enough snow to make a snowman.
15:54Then we can make a snow blob.
15:56Come on, help us scoop.
16:03Come on!
16:04Come on!
16:05Come on!
16:06Come on!
16:07Come on!
16:08Come on!
16:09Come on!
16:10Come on!
16:11Come on!
16:12Come on!
16:13Ta-da!
16:14Our very own snow blob!
16:17Let's name him Charlie.
16:19What do you think, Michael?
16:21It's not really a snowman.
16:24He is pretty small.
16:27You guys are gonna love my next idea.
16:32I think we should finally use our new sled!
16:36Yes!
16:37We've never been sledding before!
16:38But that sled won't move well through all this thin snow.
16:41Just wait for an actual snowstorm.
16:44You'll have way more fun.
16:46Michael's right.
16:51There isn't that much snow for sledding.
16:54Okay.
16:55Well, if no one wants to go sledding,
16:57who wants to go in for some hot chocolate?
17:00I've always wanted to have hot chocolate on a cold snowy day.
17:04Then you're gonna love it when it's really cold.
17:06This is hardly cold at all.
17:08You know what, Michael?
17:10This snow is good enough for us.
17:12Come on, Leo.
17:16Hello, Michael.
17:35Hi, Stillwater.
17:38It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?
17:41I am always surprised to wake up to a dusting of snow.
17:48I guess.
17:50I just wish it was the fun kind of snow.
17:53I didn't realize there was a difference.
17:56There was supposed to be a big blizzard last night.
17:58And I was really looking forward to sledding through huge piles of snow
18:02and building epic snow forts with my friends.
18:05We can't do any of that in this.
18:07How interesting.
18:09Personally, I enjoy the snow whether there's a big storm or just a few flakes.
18:16Molly and Leo thought so too.
18:20They were so excited all morning trying to play in the snow even though there was really no point.
18:26I tried to explain they should wait until we get better snow, but they didn't want to listen.
18:31Then they just went inside and left me out here.
18:34When they see what the best snow is like, then they'll really have fun.
18:39Hmm.
18:40I once heard of someone who had a similar problem.
18:44Only he was looking for the best vegetables, not the best snow.
18:49I bet there's more to the story than that.
18:53Indeed there is.
18:55Would you like to hear it?
18:58Ahmet arrived at the market ready to do his weekly shopping.
19:12But when he got to the first vegetable stall, he didn't find quite what he was expecting.
19:19Too small.
19:21Moments later, Yara visited the stall and picked up the very same pepper Ahmet had just put aside.
19:31What a beautiful pepper.
19:33It's a bit small for the salad I was going to make, but will be just the thing to add to a vegetable stew.
19:43And so it continued at the potato stall.
19:46Ugh.
19:47Too dirty.
19:54Look at this wonderful potato.
19:56It will make my stew even more tasty.
20:00And the tomato stall.
20:03Ugh.
20:04Too many spots.
20:10Wow.
20:11Such a juicy tomato.
20:14Just think how amazing it is that it started as a little seed and grew into this delicious tomato we can enjoy.
20:25The two shoppers went to all the same stalls that day.
20:29But they ended up with very different results.
20:33Hmm.
20:34These are beautiful.
20:38Ugh.
20:39I like this.
20:44Hmm.
20:45What a disaster.
20:46What a wonderful day at the market.
20:47Yara, how could you possibly fill your bag when today's offerings were so unimpressive?
20:59The peppers were small.
21:00The potatoes were dirty.
21:01The tomatoes had spots.
21:02It doesn't matter to me.
21:03They will all still be good to eat tonight in my hearty vegetable stew.
21:07Ah.
21:08Guess all I'm having tonight is cold leftovers.
21:09Ahmet, would you like to come over for dinner?
21:22No.
21:23No.
21:24I'm having a lot of fun.
21:25No.
21:26No.
21:27I'm having a lot of fun.
21:28Oh, delicious.
21:29Ha, ha.
21:30Yeah.
21:31Yara, you were right.
21:32If you had been like me and only looked for the best vegetables, we would never have tasted
21:43I've tasted this delicious stew.
21:46Everything's the best if it's what you need.
21:54I guess Yara's vegetables are kind of like the snow.
21:58Today was really special for Molly and Leo, even if it just snowed a little.
22:03All I did was complain about how it wasn't good enough for me.
22:08How do you think your comments made Molly and Leo feel?
22:13It probably made them feel like they didn't want to be around me.
22:17No wonder they went inside and closed the door.
22:20I guess I have some making it up to them to do.
22:29Charlie's looking really good.
22:31Thanks.
22:33I brought him something.
22:40Now he looks even better.
22:44I also wanted to say I'm really sorry for complaining about the snow earlier.
22:49We could have been having fun in the snow no matter what.
22:52It's okay. But thanks for saying sorry.
22:55We're glad you came back.
22:57Me too.
22:59There's still something we haven't tried.
23:06Let's go Molly! First time sledding!
23:07Stop sledding!
23:08Ha ha!
23:10This.
23:11Is.
23:12Epic!
23:13Epic.
23:14Ha ha ha ha!
