Transcript
00:01In a lively town where voices rang, lived Leo. Cheerful, quick, and sang. His thoughts ran fast, his words ran
00:12too. Before one sentence finished, Leo flew.
00:18I know, I know. Let me say it first.
00:22His ideas bubbled out, ready to burst.
00:26So yesterday I tried to...
00:28Oh, that reminds me of something I do.
00:31Leo didn't mean to be rude or loud. He just felt ideas shouting inside his cloud.
00:37But every time someone started to speak, Leo jumped in fast and quick.
00:44At school one morning, bright and clear, the class prepared a project, dear.
00:50A giant mural, side by side, with paints and plans spread far and wide.
00:58First we'll listen, then decide. Who paints the sun? Who paints the sky?
01:03I'll do the sun, big and bright. And I'll add birds and clouds and kites.
01:10But I was thinking maybe the...
01:12Don't worry, I already know.
01:14Leo grabbed a brush and started fast.
01:17Yellow paint spread thick and vast.
01:22But soon the sun covered half the sky.
01:25No room for clouds, no birds to fly.
01:29Where does my tree go now?
01:32Silence followed. No one knew how.
01:37Later that day, a bigger task appeared.
01:40A teamwork game. The class held dear.
01:44Build a bridge from blocks and string.
01:46Strong enough for a bell to ring.
01:50Listen closely. This part is key.
01:53But Leo whispered...
01:55Easy for me. We stacked them high. I've got a plan.
01:59He grabbed the blocks before she ran.
02:04Wait. She said we should.
02:07Crash.
02:08The bridge fell into wood.
02:10Blocks rolled wide across the floor.
02:13The bell never rang.
02:14Not once before.
02:17The team stood quiet.
02:19Heads hung low.
02:20And Leo's smile began to go.
02:23Why does this keep going wrong?
02:25I thought my ideas were strong.
02:29That afternoon, beneath a tree, Leo sat where he could see other kids laughing, building slow, listening, then letting ideas
02:39flow.
02:41I wanted to help today, she said.
02:45But I never got the chance instead.
02:49Leo opened his mouth, then closed it tight.
02:51For the very first time, he stopped mid-fight.
02:56Maybe. Maybe. Maybe it's not just me.
02:59Maybe listening helps things be.
03:03The next day brought another try.
03:05A puzzle so big it reached the sky.
03:08Pieces scattered, colors bright.
03:11It wouldn't fit without thinking right.
03:15Let's share ideas, one by one.
03:18Leo nodded.
03:19This time, he was done.
03:22What if we start from the edge?
03:24That's smart.
03:26Then the middle won't wedge.
03:29They listened, talked, then listened again.
03:32And suddenly...
03:34The pieces began.
03:36The puzzle formed, complete and neat.
03:39And Leo felt proud from head to feet.
03:43From that day on, Leo still spoke.
03:47But now his words came after folk.
03:50He waited, listened, then shared his say.
03:53And somehow, his ideas worked better that way.
03:57So always remember,
04:00Listening First makes space to grow
04:03for better ideas and friends you know.
04:14He waited, listen to myself.
04:14Than and the way she reflected.
04:15The other way she wrote was always possibilities.
04:15He waited, Mylaid meaning,
04:15The question is one day again,
