00:00Hello, little friends, and welcome to a wonderful story from long, long ago.
00:05Are you ready for an adventure?
00:07Once upon a time, in a sunny little town, lived a happy family.
00:12There was a kind mommy, a brave daddy, and their two wonderful sons.
00:16They loved to laugh and play together.
00:19The daddy was a helper to the great prophet Elisha, and he always taught his sons to be kind.
00:25But one day, something very sad happened.
00:29The brave daddy went to live in heaven.
00:31The mommy and her two boys missed him very, very much.
00:35And to make things even harder, some grumpy men came knocking on their door.
00:40They told the mommy,
00:42If you can't give us the money you owe, we will take your two sons away.
00:46Oh, the poor mommy.
00:48Her heart was filled with worry.
00:51She hugged her boys so tightly.
00:53She couldn't bear to lose her children.
00:55She felt all alone and scared.
00:57But then, she remembered the wise and kind prophet, Elisha.
01:02He will know what to do.
01:04She thought.
01:05So, she took her boys by the hand and went to find the man of God.
01:10They found Elisha sitting under a big, shady tree, talking to people with a warm, gentle smile.
01:16He had a long, fluffy, white beard and eyes that twinkled like stars.
01:22The mommy ran to him with tears in her eyes.
01:26Oh, great prophet, she cried.
01:28My husband is gone and the grumpy men are coming to take my boys away.
01:33Elisha listened very carefully.
01:36He looked at her with his kind eyes and asked a curious question.
01:40Tell me, he said gently, what do you have in your house?
01:44What treasure is hiding in your home?
01:47The woman was puzzled.
01:49Treasure?
01:50She said sadly.
01:51I have nothing at all.
01:53Well, except for one tiny little jar of cooking oil.
01:57She thought it was nothing special.
01:59But Elisha's eyes twinkled even brighter.
02:02Wonderful.
02:04He exclaimed.
02:05That little jar of oil is the start of your miracle.
02:09Now, listen carefully.
02:11Go home and tell your sons to run to all your neighbors.
02:14Ask everyone for their empty jars.
02:17Don't just get a few.
02:19Get lots and lots.
02:21Get every empty jar you can find.
02:23The boys were so excited.
02:25They ran from door to door.
02:27Can we borrow your empty jars, please?
02:30They asked.
02:32Some neighbors gave them small jars.
02:34Some gave them big jars.
02:36Some gave them tall jars.
02:38And some gave them short jars.
02:40Soon, their little house was filled to the brim with empty jars of all shapes and sizes.
02:46Perfect, said Elisha.
02:48Now, go inside with your boys and shut the door.
02:51Then, take your one little jar of oil and start pouring it into the big empty one.
02:57The mommy did just as he said.
02:59She took her tiny jar, tilted it over the first big pot, and the oil started to pour.
03:05And a magical thing happened.
03:07The oil didn't stop.
03:09It filled the first jar, so her sons pushed another one forward.
03:13She filled that one, too.
03:15And another.
03:16And another.
03:16The oil from the tiny little jar just kept flowing like a river, a beautiful golden river of oil.
03:24The boys laughed and cheered as they brought more and more jars to their amazing mommy.
03:30Finally, the mommy called out,
03:32Bring me another jar.
03:33Her oldest son looked around and said,
03:37Mommy, there are no more empty jars left.
03:40And at that very moment, the oil stopped flowing.
03:43The woman and her boys looked around in amazement.
03:46Their house was now filled with valuable oil.
03:49She went back to Elisha, who told her,
03:52Go and sell all that oil.
03:54You will have more than enough money to pay the grumpy men.
03:57And you and your boys can live happily with the money that is left.
04:01And that's just what she did.
04:03She paid the men, and they went away.
04:06The mommy and her two sons were safe and had everything they needed.
04:11It was a wonderful miracle.
04:13So, what can we learn from this amazing story?
04:17First, even when you feel like you have very little, don't give up.
04:21That one small thing, like the widow's little jar of oil, can be the start of something amazing.
04:27Second, it's always okay to ask for help when you're feeling sad or worried.
04:33The widow asked the wise prophet Elisha for help, and he showed her the way.
04:38And the biggest lesson of all is to have faith.
04:41The widow trusted the plan, and a beautiful miracle happened.
04:46Believing in goodness and kindness can fill your life with wonderful surprises,
04:50just like it filled the widow's house with oil.
