What's in the bags, Addy?

These are goody bags for my sleepover.

They have stickers, a pen that writes with three colors,

-glow sticks, a paper crown and a kazoo. -[kazoo toots]

Can I come to your sleepover?

Sorry, Karl. It's just for my friends and me.

Aw.

-But you can have a goody bag. -Really?

-You too, Michael. -Thanks, Addy.

-[doorbell rings] -They're here.

-Hi! -All right!

-We're here. -[all laughing]

Whoo!

-This is gonna be awesome. -What should we do first?

-I don't know. -[Lexi] Hmm.

So many choices.

-Uh, we could make fortune tellers. -How about we play a game?

-Sardines. -Sardines?

Um, Asha, I have lots of other good stuff to eat.

[laughs] Not that kind of sardines.

Sardines is this great game I know. It's kind of like reverse hide-and-seek.

-How do you play? -It's easy.

One person hides and everyone else seeks. When you find the first person,

you hide with them until everyone is together again.

Sounds fun.

-Okay, let's play. -I'll hide first.

You guys stay here and count to ten.

-[footsteps departing] -One, two, three-

[Addy, Maya chuckling]

Hmm.

[Asha chuckles]

There you are.

[shushes]

[laughs]

-[Asha, Addy chuckling] -[gasps] Aha!

Found you.

[shushes] Quiet, Maya.

What are you looking for, Lexi?

We're playing a game called sardines, and I'm trying to find everyone.

I think I heard lots of giggling upstairs.

Really? Are they all up there?

Sounded like it.

-[Addy] I'm gonna do that for sure. -[Maya, Asha chuckling]

-[Maya] That's hilarious. -[Asha] I love that. That's funny.

-[chuckling] -Oh, I found you, finally.

[laughing]

Oh, sorry, Lexi. We were waiting for you to find us.

Then Maya thought it would be fun to draw on our faces.

-See? -[laughing]

-[Lexi] They look pretty funny. -Yeah, they do.

-Hey, let's do something else now. -Yeah.

Oh, uh, okay.

How about we go down and make fortune tellers?

Or we could go see what's in Addy's goody bags.

Yes, let's do that.

[kazoos tooting]

[kazoo tooting]

[laughs] Look at Karl.

I like his dance. Come on, let's all do it.

-Whoop, whoop! -[both chuckling]

Wait. Do you guys remember that dance we did at school last week?

Yeah, let's do that.

[kazoo tooting]

How does this dance start? Oh, right. Yes.

I never learned that dance. I went to the dentist that day, remember?

It's easy. You'll catch on.

-Whoo! Let's go. -Go Maya. Go Maya.

-[laughing] -Whoo!

Whoo! Oh, yeah. Get it, girls. Whoo!

[laughing]

After snacks, maybe we can make fortune tellers.

-Or cupcakes. -Or we could go outside

-and watch the sunset. -With our cupcakes.

I know! Let's make fortune tellers.

-Oh! I love making fortune tellers. -Great idea, Asha.

That's what I said.

I have some paper and pencils in my room. Come on.

[Maya, Addy, Asha laughing]

I guess they didn't hear me when I said it.

P-U-R-P-L-E. Ooh, what does yours say?

[laughing]

-[Addy] Yes, love it. -[laughing]

[Stillwater mumbling]

-[mumbles] -[hooting]

[chuckles] Hello, Lexi.

I was just saying good evening to a visitor in my yard.

Have you been doing origami?

Oh, yes. Sort of. It's a fortune teller.

How does it work?

I'll show you. What's your favorite color?

Well, tonight the silver moon is calling.

Okay.

I'll spell out the word, S-I-L-V-E-R.

Now I'll open this flap and read your fortune.

What does it say?

"You will make a new friend."

[laughs] Perhaps that's our new friend, Mister Owl.

[hooting]

-[sighs] -Ah.

It looks like your friends are inside with their fortune tellers, Lexi.

They are.

But you came outside.

Yeah. I think I want to go home.

I feel like my friends forgot about me, Stillwater.

They hardly noticed when I was the last one to find them in sardines.

And they all did this dance that I never learned.

And it felt like they just ignored me when I suggested making fortune tellers.

They probably don't even know I'm gone.

[Addy] There you are, Lexi.

Come on inside.

We're getting ready to do a sleeping-bag race.

No, thanks. I'd rather stay out here.

Really? Are- Are you sure?

Are you okay?

I was just about to tell Lexi a story.

You were?

Did you say you have a story, Stillwater? I want to hear it too.

Wonderful. Come sit and join us.

Long ago in a small village,

preparations were being made for the coming monsoon rains.

They had just completed harvesting their crops,

and all agreed that a special building,

a granary, must be the built to protect them

from the great rains that were on the way.

Here is where we should build the granary.

It is wide and flat. This is the perfect spot right here.

-Great idea. -Okay.

[Stillwater] However, there was one wise,

but quiet villager, who did not agree.

But it's too low. It will flood here during monsoon season.

-[clamoring] -[Stillwater] But no one was listening,

so no one heard.

[sighs]

We should build the granary out of bricks made of mud.

-Bricks are a good idea. -That sounds perfect.

Yes, that's what we should do.

But what if the mud bricks melt in the rain?

It would be better to build a granary out of wood.

[Stillwater] But again,

the quiet villager's voice was not listened to.

Listen to me. I know what I'm talking about.

These are fine bricks, yes.

[thunder rumbling]

[Stillwater] The quiet villager knew that a granary should be built up,

off the ground, on stilts.

He thought about speaking up to remind the others

-but felt that no one listened anyway. -[sighs, groans]

[Stillwater] So this time, he remained silent.

Look at that. Almost finished.

Our grain will be perfectly safe in here. Mark my words.

-We built that. -Looks very safe.

-Oh, Seems sturdy. -[thunder rumbling]

[gasps, stammers]

[Stillwater] The granary was completed. And the monsoon rains came.

Soon, as expected, the village was flooded.

The mud bricks grew soggy and melted,

just as the quiet villager had said they would.

[cries] No.

-Oh. -All this work for nothing.

What are we gonna do now?

[Stillwater] All of the crops they had stored inside the granary were lost.

That quiet villager should have spoken up.

He tried,

but the other villagers didn't listen to him.

What do you think, Addy?

I think maybe you're both right.

The quite villager should have kept trying to speak up.

Sometimes it's hard to speak up,

especially when you feel like no one is listening anyway.

Is that how you feel tonight, Lexi?

Yes.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

Yeah, me too.

I think I should have listened better, too.

I'm pretty sure you were the one

who first suggested we make fortune tellers, Lexi, not me.

Thanks.

-We should have listened better. -I'm sorry.

I know I should have kept trying to speak up.

It's just- I don't always know how to get people to listen.

It can be difficult for all of us sometimes, Lexi.

But there may be some things we can do to help us be heard.

Like what?

Try this.

Take a deep breath and sit up straight and tall.

[chuckles, inhales]

Wow.

As soon as I sat up tall and confident, everyone looked at me.

Okay, uh, that's enough. You can stop looking at me now.

[laughing]

Would you come back to the sleepover now, Lexi?

You can decide what we do next. Okay?

Okay. Two words. Popcorn buffet.

-Yes! -That is an excellent idea.

-[chuckles] -Goodbye, Stillwater!

-Bye, Stillwater. -Bye, Stillwater! [chuckles]

[laughs]

-Mmm! I love caramel sauce! -Delicious.

-Mmm. -[Addy] Chocolate for me!

[Addy] Looks like some other people like popcorn too. [chuckles]

There's plenty to go around.

-Yeah! -Whoo! Whoo!

-Thank you! -My favorite!

This was a great idea, Lexi. I'm glad we listened to you.

-[chuckling] -Mmm! It's so good!

[Michael speaks indistinctly]

Ah, isn't it wonderful, Mister Owl?

-The sounds you can hear at night. -[chuckling]

[hooting]

-[Karl] Michael! -[footsteps approaching]

Michael!

Michael, wake up!

It snowed last night!

Oh, yeah!

There was supposed to be a huge snowstorm. Let's go check it out.

[Karl] Whoo! Snow day!

[Michael] Aw, seriously? This is the huge snowstorm?

It was supposed to be up to my knee, but it's barely a sprinkle.

But we can still stomp through the snow and make footprints, right?

Sure. But if it snowed as much as it was supposed to,

we'd be able to do a whole lot more than just footprints.

-[door opens] -[Molly chuckles]

-Yeah! This is awesome! -Yeah! [giggles]

Yeah! [chuckles]

Woo-hoo!

Hey, look! Molly and Leo are making snow angels!

[Michael] More like grass angels.

I guess I'll go say hi.

Too bad about the snow, isn't it?

What are you talking about? This is awesome! [chuckles]

We made snow angels and snow starfish.

And snow bananas.

[giggles] It didn't snow where we used to live.

So, this is the first time it's ever snowed at our house.

That's cool, but this is way less snow than there usually is.

Just wait until it actually snows, then you'll really love it!

I'm sure we will, but we love this too.

Oh! You know what we haven't done yet? Snowballs!

Yes! Great idea, Leo. Let's go find some fresh snow.

But this snow isn't wet enough for snowballs.

If you pack it together, it'll just crumble.

Let's just try it.

Go ahead. I'd rather wait for better snow.

Here comes the first snowball pitch of the season.

[grunts] It's going, going�

[chuckles] I got it!

And it didn't get very far. [giggles]

At least we found a way to make it snow. [chuckles]

I told you. This isn't good snowball snow.

It's still the first time we ever made snowballs from our own front yard.

And I think that's pretty exciting.

What other fun snow things can we do?

Not much.

Hmm. Well, I just thought of something.

Oh, me too!

Okay, we both say it on three.

One, two-

-Snowman! -[chuckles]

Exactly what I was thinking!

-I've got the mustache already. -[giggles]

I hate to break it to you,

but there's not even enough snow to make a snowman.

Then we can make a snow blob. Come on, help us scoop.

Ta-da!

Our very own snow blob!

[chuckles] Let's name him Charlie.

What do you think, Michael?

It's not really a snowman.

He is pretty small. [sighs]

You guys are gonna love my next idea.

I think we should finally use our new sled.

Yes! We've never been sledding before.

But that sled won't move well through all this thin snow.

Just wait for an actual snowstorm, you'll have way more fun.

Michael's right. There isn't that much snow for sledding.

Okay.

Well, if no one wants to go sledding, who wants to go in for some hot chocolate?

I've always wanted to have hot chocolate on a cold, snowy day.

Then you're gonna love it when it's really cold.

This is hardly cold at all.

You know what, Michael? This snow is good enough for us.

Come on, Leo.

[door opens]

[clatters]

[sighs]

Hello, Michael.

Hi, Stillwater.

It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?

I am always surprised to wake up to a dusting of snow.

I guess. I just wish it was the fun kind of snow.

I didn't realize there was a difference.

There was supposed to be a big blizzard last night.

And I was really looking forward to sledding through huge piles of snow

and building epic snow forts with my friends.

We can't do any of that in this.

How interesting.

Personally, I enjoy the snow whether there's a big storm

or just a few flakes.

[sighs] Molly and Leo thought so, too.

They were so excited all morning trying to play in the snow,

even though there was really no point.

I tried to explain they should wait until we get better snow,

but they didn't want to listen.

Then they just went inside and left me out here.

When they see what the best snow is like, then they'll really have fun.

Hmm. I once heard of someone who had a similar problem.

Only he was looking for the best vegetables,

not the best snow.

I bet there's more to the story than that.

Indeed there is. Would you like to hear it?

[Stillwater] Ahmet arrived at the market ready to do his weekly shopping.

But when he got to the first vegetable stall,

he didn't find quite what he was expecting.

Eh, too small.

[Stillwater] Moments later,

Yara visited the stall,

and picked up the very same pepper Ahmet had just put aside.

What a beautiful pepper.

It's a bit small for the salad I was going to make,

but will be just the thing to add to a vegetable stew.

[Stillwater] And so it continued at the potato stall.

[Ahmet groans] Too dirty.

Look at this wonderful potato. It will make my stew even more tasty.

[Stillwater] And the tomato stall.

Ugh, too many spots!

Wow. Such a juicy tomato.

Just think how amazing it is that it started as a little seed

and grew into this delicious tomato we can enjoy. [chuckles]

[Stillwater] The two shoppers

-went to all the same stalls that day� -Ugh.

-[Stillwater] �but they ended up� -Wow!

[Stillwater] �with very different results.

[groans]

[gasps] These are beautiful.

Ugh.

I like this.

[groans] What a disaster.

What a wonderful day at the market.

Yara, how could you possibly fill your bag

when today's offerings were so unimpressive?

The peppers were small. The potatoes were dirty.

-The tomatoes had spots. -It doesn't matter to me.

They will all still be good to eat tonight in my hearty vegetable stew.

[sighs] Guess all I'm having tonight is cold leftovers.

Ahmet, would you like to come over for dinner?

Bon app�tit.

Thank you!

[chuckles] Delicious.

[chuckles, sniffs] Yara, you were right.

If you had been like me and only looked for the best vegetables,

we would never have tasted this delicious stew.

Everything's the best if it's what you need.

I guess Yara's vegetables are kind of like the snow.

Today was really special for Molly and Leo,

even if it just snowed a little.

All I did was complain about how it wasn't good enough for me.

How do you think your comments made Molly and Leo feel?

It probably made them feel like they didn't want to be around me.

No wonder they went inside and closed the door.

I guess I have some making it up to them to do.

Charlie is looking really good.

Thanks.

I brought him something.

[Molly] Now he looks even better.

I also wanted to say I'm really sorry for complaining about the snow earlier.

We could've been having fun in the snow, no matter what.

It's okay. But thanks for saying sorry.

We're glad you came back.

Me too.

[Molly] There's still something we haven't tried.

-Let's go, Molly! -Your first time sledding!

-[cheers, chuckles] This is epic! -[chuckling]

[all chuckling]

[laughing]

[cheers, chuckles]

[chuckling]

Who's next?

-Look! -[Molly] Here it comes!

[gasps] I think we're in for a blizzard.

[gasps] We've never seen a blizzard before.

I'm so glad I get to be here the first time you do.

Us too.

I got a snowflake on my tongue!

[chuckles]

-Wow! Look at all this snow! -Whoa! [chuckles]

-Wow! -I caught one! Look! [chuckles]

-[Stillwater chuckles] -Isn't this amazing?

-Woo-hoo! -This is awesome!

It's so cool.
