1
00:00:20,897 --> 00:00:23,692
Over here, Michael! Kick it here!
2
00:00:31,157 --> 00:00:32,659
I did it! I did it!
3
00:00:32,659 --> 00:00:34,244
Well done, Karl.
4
00:00:34,744 --> 00:00:36,871
Hey, everybody. Guess what?
5
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:40,375
- You found your missing notebook?
- No, silly.
6
00:00:40,375 --> 00:00:43,628
I get to read a poem I wrote
at the cultural arts assembly.
7
00:00:44,212 --> 00:00:46,381
What marvelous news.
8
00:00:46,882 --> 00:00:51,678
Everyone in my class gets to do something,
like a song or a dance,
9
00:00:51,678 --> 00:00:54,139
and my teacher said I should read my poem.
10
00:00:54,139 --> 00:00:55,473
I know a poem.
11
00:00:55,473 --> 00:00:59,394
Roses are red, dragons are blue...
12
00:01:00,937 --> 00:01:03,940
tables have legs, and so do you!
13
00:01:06,192 --> 00:01:09,487
Thank you for sharing your poem
with us, Karl.
14
00:01:09,487 --> 00:01:12,616
I hope I can do as well as you
in front of the assembly.
15
00:01:12,616 --> 00:01:14,784
Don't worry. You're gonna do great.
16
00:01:14,784 --> 00:01:17,746
You had no problem
getting on stage for the school musical.
17
00:01:17,746 --> 00:01:20,415
But this show feels different.
18
00:01:21,207 --> 00:01:25,629
I'll be standing on stage all by myself,
reading something I wrote.
19
00:01:25,629 --> 00:01:27,964
Poetry comes from the heart,
20
00:01:27,964 --> 00:01:32,594
and that means you'll be sharing
a bit of yourself along with it.
21
00:01:32,594 --> 00:01:35,388
I had to do a reading at an assembly once.
22
00:01:35,388 --> 00:01:38,975
I practiced over and over again
until I was confident.
23
00:01:38,975 --> 00:01:40,602
Maybe you could do the same.
24
00:01:40,602 --> 00:01:44,314
- You wanna read your poem to us?
- Please read your poem.
25
00:01:44,314 --> 00:01:48,026
It would be so delightful.
Music to my ears.
26
00:01:48,026 --> 00:01:51,488
Poem! Poem! Poem!
27
00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:54,074
Guess it couldn't hurt to practice.
28
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:58,578
I will be reading a tanka.
29
00:01:58,578 --> 00:02:00,413
It's a kind of Japanese poem.
30
00:02:00,997 --> 00:02:02,666
I call it "Hummingbird."
31
00:02:03,291 --> 00:02:07,170
Hummingbirds buzzing,
I'm swaying to a soft breeze
32
00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:09,588
My wings touch tall grass
33
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:13,385
Standing alone in nature,
I'm never standing alone
34
00:02:17,055 --> 00:02:18,056
Yeah!
35
00:02:21,351 --> 00:02:23,937
That's the best poem I've ever heard.
36
00:02:23,937 --> 00:02:26,690
The words were so swoopy!
37
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:30,694
Your poem
made me feel just like a hummingbird.
38
00:02:30,694 --> 00:02:32,153
Thanks.
39
00:02:32,153 --> 00:02:35,699
I just thought about something I like
and about being in nature.
40
00:02:35,699 --> 00:02:38,743
- Then I put them together.
- Two things together?
41
00:02:38,743 --> 00:02:42,831
"Sweet Mochi and Green Bamboo."
That will be my poem.
42
00:02:43,331 --> 00:02:45,166
I wanna write one too!
43
00:02:45,667 --> 00:02:47,294
And what's mochi?
44
00:02:48,295 --> 00:02:50,755
It's a sweet, sticky rice.
45
00:02:50,755 --> 00:02:54,551
Especially delicious
when wrapped around ice cream.
46
00:02:55,886 --> 00:02:57,846
Sounds good.
47
00:02:58,471 --> 00:02:59,681
It is.
48
00:02:59,681 --> 00:03:02,559
Now, let's find you two some paper
49
00:03:02,559 --> 00:03:06,479
so you can write your poems
while you feel inspired.
50
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,150
So, what'd you think of the reading?
51
00:03:10,734 --> 00:03:11,776
The reading?
52
00:03:12,944 --> 00:03:15,280
You did a great job reading.
53
00:03:15,780 --> 00:03:18,617
Looked like you were having fun up there.
54
00:03:19,284 --> 00:03:21,786
Wonder if Stillwater needs help
finding that paper.
55
00:03:21,786 --> 00:03:23,622
But what did you think of the poem?
56
00:03:24,664 --> 00:03:28,209
Oh, the poem. It was interesting.
57
00:03:28,209 --> 00:03:31,838
- In what way?
- I-It gave me something to think about.
58
00:03:31,838 --> 00:03:34,090
Great. It's supposed to.
59
00:03:34,090 --> 00:03:35,592
So, what were you thinking?
60
00:03:36,509 --> 00:03:41,681
Well, I was thinking
that I didn't really understand it.
61
00:03:42,265 --> 00:03:45,352
You don't have to understand it.
As long as you feel it.
62
00:03:49,356 --> 00:03:50,774
You didn't feel it either?
63
00:03:53,443 --> 00:03:56,071
So that means you didn't like it.
64
00:03:56,613 --> 00:03:58,031
I'm really sorry.
65
00:03:58,031 --> 00:03:59,991
I'm not trying to upset you.
66
00:04:00,951 --> 00:04:02,911
Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
67
00:04:02,911 --> 00:04:05,622
No. You were being honest.
68
00:04:06,122 --> 00:04:08,750
But I wish
I hadn't asked you what you thought.
69
00:04:15,715 --> 00:04:17,591
Is everything okay, Michael?
70
00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:20,762
I didn't understand Addy's poem.
71
00:04:25,684 --> 00:04:28,812
I'll see if she would like
her notebook back.
72
00:04:41,533 --> 00:04:42,617
Hello, Addy.
73
00:04:45,704 --> 00:04:48,039
I think this belongs to you.
74
00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:50,125
Thanks, but you can keep it.
75
00:04:50,125 --> 00:04:52,627
I don't wanna read my poem
at the assembly.
76
00:04:54,921 --> 00:04:57,841
You seemed so excited to read it earlier.
77
00:04:57,841 --> 00:04:59,342
Did something change?
78
00:04:59,342 --> 00:05:01,094
Michael didn't like it.
79
00:05:02,637 --> 00:05:05,348
I can see how that would be disappointing.
80
00:05:06,391 --> 00:05:10,478
You know, Addy,
everyone experiences art differently,
81
00:05:10,979 --> 00:05:13,732
whether it's a poem or a painting.
82
00:05:14,983 --> 00:05:17,611
Sometimes it means you might not like it.
83
00:05:17,611 --> 00:05:20,196
But what if I want everyone to like it?
84
00:05:21,364 --> 00:05:23,825
There's someone I think
you should talk to.
85
00:05:24,326 --> 00:05:29,873
And on the way, I'll tell you
a story you might find amusing.
86
00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:32,500
I'd like to hear something amusing.
87
00:05:33,251 --> 00:05:38,924
Now, this story takes place
at an art gallery, not so very long ago.
88
00:05:41,468 --> 00:05:44,679
An art gallery
is a little bit like a museum.
89
00:05:44,679 --> 00:05:48,642
Here, artists would show
their latest masterpieces.
90
00:05:49,726 --> 00:05:54,731
One evening,
three young artists were doing just that.
91
00:05:54,731 --> 00:05:58,026
They had their finest artwork on display.
92
00:05:58,610 --> 00:06:00,654
They were extremely nervous,
93
00:06:00,654 --> 00:06:05,784
because a very important art critic
was there to see everyone's work.
94
00:06:07,744 --> 00:06:08,828
Here he comes.
95
00:06:09,704 --> 00:06:11,790
I hope he likes my painting.
96
00:06:13,083 --> 00:06:14,084
Me too.
97
00:06:14,084 --> 00:06:19,798
It was clear the artists
greatly valued this critic's opinion.
98
00:06:25,262 --> 00:06:26,763
I don't understand it.
99
00:06:33,728 --> 00:06:35,355
I don't feel it.
100
00:06:39,818 --> 00:06:41,027
I understand it.
101
00:06:42,153 --> 00:06:43,655
I feel it.
102
00:06:44,155 --> 00:06:47,200
But I don't care for it.
103
00:06:48,451 --> 00:06:51,079
The artists were disappointed.
104
00:06:52,163 --> 00:06:57,419
Especially when the critic praised
the very next thing he saw.
105
00:06:59,713 --> 00:07:00,964
Now, this...
106
00:07:01,464 --> 00:07:03,758
this is a masterpiece.
107
00:07:04,676 --> 00:07:06,011
The way it leans.
108
00:07:06,011 --> 00:07:10,807
Such a bold artistic statement.
So common, yet so sublime.
109
00:07:11,308 --> 00:07:15,061
What an accurate depiction
of yielding to the futility of tidiness.
110
00:07:16,521 --> 00:07:20,525
To me, that is art.
111
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:26,531
It looks like a plain old broom to me.
112
00:07:27,699 --> 00:07:29,117
There it is.
113
00:07:31,578 --> 00:07:33,580
Been looking for this everywhere.
114
00:07:36,708 --> 00:07:39,628
Excuse me, is that your artwork?
115
00:07:40,462 --> 00:07:42,172
No, kid. It's my broom.
116
00:07:42,756 --> 00:07:44,382
You'll never believe this,
117
00:07:44,382 --> 00:07:47,385
but a famous art critic
just called it a masterpiece.
118
00:07:47,385 --> 00:07:49,054
Really?
119
00:07:49,054 --> 00:07:51,431
Well, everyone's entitled to an opinion,
I guess.
120
00:07:51,431 --> 00:07:56,144
And if you want mine, these three
right here are the real masterpieces.
121
00:07:56,144 --> 00:07:59,814
At that moment,
the three artists realized
122
00:07:59,814 --> 00:08:04,486
that one opinion
doesn't determine an object's worth,
123
00:08:04,486 --> 00:08:07,030
no matter how important the critic.
124
00:08:09,324 --> 00:08:11,493
Michael wasn't snooty
like that art critic.
125
00:08:12,118 --> 00:08:14,246
But I understand how those artists felt.
126
00:08:14,746 --> 00:08:17,499
When someone
doesn't like something you're proud of,
127
00:08:17,499 --> 00:08:18,959
it doesn't feel very good.
128
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:21,795
I knew you'd understand that story.
129
00:08:21,795 --> 00:08:24,297
And now, we have arrived.
130
00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:28,593
It's Mr. Morgan!
Is he the one you wanted me to talk to?
131
00:08:28,593 --> 00:08:30,303
Yes, he is.
132
00:08:30,303 --> 00:08:34,349
Mr. Morgan knows what it's like
to write something from the heart,
133
00:08:34,849 --> 00:08:36,308
just like you.
134
00:08:37,561 --> 00:08:40,981
Everyone in my class
is going to perform a song or a dance.
135
00:08:40,981 --> 00:08:43,692
And what kind of art
will you be sharing, Addy?
136
00:08:44,192 --> 00:08:46,152
Poetry. It's something I wrote.
137
00:08:47,195 --> 00:08:50,657
That's fantastic.
You must be so excited.
138
00:08:50,657 --> 00:08:51,950
I am.
139
00:08:51,950 --> 00:08:54,369
I mean, I was.
140
00:08:54,369 --> 00:08:58,164
I practiced reading my poem,
but not everybody liked it.
141
00:08:59,624 --> 00:09:01,001
And let me guess.
142
00:09:01,501 --> 00:09:05,338
That made you question
if your poem is any good
143
00:09:05,338 --> 00:09:08,675
and if you're any good at writing poems?
144
00:09:09,175 --> 00:09:10,552
How'd you know?
145
00:09:13,054 --> 00:09:17,726
Because I've had those same feelings
plenty of times myself.
146
00:09:17,726 --> 00:09:23,315
You know, a lot of people like my books,
but some people don't.
147
00:09:23,315 --> 00:09:24,399
Really?
148
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,693
But your books are so much fun to read.
149
00:09:26,693 --> 00:09:28,904
Well, thank you, Addy.
150
00:09:29,404 --> 00:09:31,489
But not everyone feels that way.
151
00:09:31,489 --> 00:09:37,037
In fact, it's impossible for everyone
to feel the same way about everything.
152
00:09:37,037 --> 00:09:40,290
So, do you just focus
on the good things others say?
153
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:41,750
No.
154
00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:47,797
If I believe the good reviews,
I'd have to believe the bad ones too.
155
00:09:49,466 --> 00:09:52,761
Instead, I just believe in myself.
156
00:09:52,761 --> 00:09:53,929
Yourself?
157
00:09:53,929 --> 00:09:58,391
If I'm happy with what I write,
that's all that matters.
158
00:10:06,066 --> 00:10:07,609
I love my mochi
159
00:10:07,609 --> 00:10:12,364
Shaded by a bamboo tree
It tastes oh-so sweet
160
00:10:14,157 --> 00:10:18,662
Strawberry and green tea
That's what's inside my mochi
161
00:10:18,662 --> 00:10:24,125
Mochi ice cream sure is fun
Now I want to eat me some
162
00:10:24,626 --> 00:10:25,752
Bravo.
163
00:10:25,752 --> 00:10:26,962
Yeah!
164
00:10:28,171 --> 00:10:30,173
After hearing your poems,
165
00:10:30,173 --> 00:10:34,386
I suddenly have a craving
for mochi ice cream.
166
00:10:43,270 --> 00:10:44,271
Addy?
167
00:10:44,271 --> 00:10:46,773
I'm really sorry for upsetting you before.
168
00:10:46,773 --> 00:10:47,983
I didn't mean to.
169
00:10:47,983 --> 00:10:49,276
It's all right, Michael.
170
00:10:49,276 --> 00:10:53,196
I've learned that not everyone
is going to like my poem, and that's okay.
171
00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:56,491
Does that mean you're gonna read your poem
at the assembly?
172
00:11:02,289 --> 00:11:05,709
I can't believe I'm gonna go out there
and sing in front of everyone.
173
00:11:05,709 --> 00:11:08,128
You'll do great.
I love your singing.
174
00:11:08,128 --> 00:11:09,212
Thanks.
175
00:11:09,212 --> 00:11:12,674
But what if they don't like it?
Or the show?
176
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:14,968
How can you be so calm?
177
00:11:14,968 --> 00:11:18,555
I'm calm now, but I was worried earlier.
178
00:11:18,555 --> 00:11:20,265
I thought my poem wasn't any good.
179
00:11:20,932 --> 00:11:24,769
But now I realize there's only one person
I have to please out there.
180
00:11:25,270 --> 00:11:26,605
Let me tell you a story
181
00:11:26,605 --> 00:11:29,733
about three artists
who had their art in a show.
182
00:11:31,943 --> 00:11:33,778
- Yeah!
- You got this, Addy.
183
00:11:35,447 --> 00:11:36,656
Thank you.
184
00:11:38,241 --> 00:11:41,745
I will be reading a tanka poem I wrote
called "Hummingbird."
185
00:11:44,289 --> 00:11:48,251
Hummingbirds buzzing,
I'm swaying to a soft breeze
186
00:11:48,251 --> 00:11:50,170
My wings touch tall grass...
187
00:12:08,939 --> 00:12:11,566
What a beautiful day for a hike.
188
00:12:12,067 --> 00:12:15,195
Even the leaves are dancing
with excitement.
189
00:12:18,990 --> 00:12:21,076
Try and catch me, Koo!
190
00:12:21,076 --> 00:12:23,578
This is gonna be
the best nature hike ever.
191
00:12:23,578 --> 00:12:26,206
I can't wait to look for all the birds
in my book.
192
00:12:26,206 --> 00:12:28,333
Very interesting.
193
00:12:28,333 --> 00:12:29,960
There's so many to see.
194
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,756
Did you know these woods are home
to an amazing 30 species of birds?
195
00:12:36,466 --> 00:12:38,593
That's a lot of species.
196
00:12:40,053 --> 00:12:41,429
What's a "species"?
197
00:12:41,429 --> 00:12:45,559
"Species" is just a scientific way
of saying "different types of birds."
198
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,643
See?
199
00:12:46,643 --> 00:12:50,855
Some birds fly as high as planes,
while others don't fly at all.
200
00:12:51,439 --> 00:12:54,276
Today, I'm gonna find as many as I can.
201
00:12:54,276 --> 00:12:58,071
And every time I see one, I'll get to
put a check in one of these little boxes.
202
00:12:58,655 --> 00:13:00,657
So many boxes.
203
00:13:00,657 --> 00:13:04,911
You may have to look all day.
That's a lot of birds.
204
00:13:04,911 --> 00:13:08,832
Well, if anyone can check off
all those boxes, it's Michael.
205
00:13:09,791 --> 00:13:11,626
Now, everyone remember,
206
00:13:11,626 --> 00:13:15,463
being a good bird watcher
requires patience and careful observation.
207
00:13:15,463 --> 00:13:17,674
What you see depends on where you look.
208
00:13:19,426 --> 00:13:21,636
My bird-watching eyes are ready.
209
00:13:26,099 --> 00:13:30,228
I think we're all excited
to look for some beautiful birds.
210
00:13:30,228 --> 00:13:32,522
Let's see what we can find.
211
00:13:38,361 --> 00:13:39,362
Fun fact.
212
00:13:39,362 --> 00:13:42,157
Birds will use what's available
to make their nests.
213
00:13:42,157 --> 00:13:45,118
Time for a power hop!
214
00:13:53,168 --> 00:13:55,337
Koo, a bird.
215
00:13:58,423 --> 00:14:01,927
Michael! What bird is this one?
216
00:14:01,927 --> 00:14:03,220
You see a bird?
217
00:14:07,265 --> 00:14:12,187
Maybe it'll come back. It was so fluffy.
218
00:14:12,187 --> 00:14:14,773
It was fluffy? How fluffy?
219
00:14:14,773 --> 00:14:18,401
Like this much feathery.
220
00:14:19,611 --> 00:14:21,363
But are you sure, Karl?
221
00:14:21,363 --> 00:14:24,699
I also looked at the bird.
I thought it was smooth.
222
00:14:25,408 --> 00:14:28,870
Okay, so smooth or fluffy.
223
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:33,166
- What color was it?
- It was kind of red?
224
00:14:34,542 --> 00:14:36,294
It could be any one of these.
225
00:14:37,921 --> 00:14:39,297
Let's just keep walking.
226
00:14:46,221 --> 00:14:47,931
I'm sorry, Michael.
227
00:14:47,931 --> 00:14:51,685
I know you want to see birds.
We will look for more.
228
00:14:51,685 --> 00:14:53,103
Thanks, Koo.
229
00:14:53,103 --> 00:14:55,897
Just remember,
we need to be really observant
230
00:14:55,897 --> 00:14:57,941
so we don't miss any details. Okay?
231
00:15:20,005 --> 00:15:23,633
So much beauty around us,
isn't there, Michael?
232
00:15:23,633 --> 00:15:28,263
Uh-huh. Did you know the white-crested
laughing thrush travel in flocks?
233
00:15:28,263 --> 00:15:31,057
How lovely to have friends to fly with.
234
00:15:37,856 --> 00:15:38,857
Michael!
235
00:15:38,857 --> 00:15:41,359
There's something
flying in circles up here.
236
00:15:42,652 --> 00:15:43,904
No way!
237
00:15:46,281 --> 00:15:47,324
It's gone.
238
00:15:47,324 --> 00:15:48,408
Maybe it was an eagle.
239
00:15:48,408 --> 00:15:51,286
Or a hawk. Or what about an osprey?
240
00:15:52,245 --> 00:15:56,374
Or maybe it was a dragon!
A big, fire-breathing one.
241
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:00,003
I'm not sure it was as big as a dragon.
242
00:16:00,003 --> 00:16:02,005
But it was really big.
243
00:16:05,550 --> 00:16:08,011
Why, hello there, little owl.
244
00:16:10,013 --> 00:16:12,724
An owl? Awake during the day?
245
00:16:12,724 --> 00:16:16,102
I'll bet it's a northern hawk owl.
Or maybe a pygmy owl.
246
00:16:20,106 --> 00:16:22,484
What a wonderful surprise.
247
00:16:22,484 --> 00:16:25,946
A butterfly pretending to be an owl.
248
00:16:26,446 --> 00:16:28,740
A butterfly that looks like an owl?
249
00:16:29,241 --> 00:16:32,244
Let's just keep going.
There's nothing to see here.
250
00:16:46,424 --> 00:16:49,803
Don't worry, Koo.
There's no alligators here.
251
00:16:50,971 --> 00:16:55,016
So much more to see.
Across the log we will go.
252
00:16:55,016 --> 00:16:56,560
What an adventure.
253
00:16:57,227 --> 00:16:58,270
Wait for me!
254
00:17:02,232 --> 00:17:04,693
Are you enjoying the nature hike, Michael?
255
00:17:06,111 --> 00:17:07,320
Not really.
256
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,323
I'm the only one
who hasn't seen any birds today,
257
00:17:10,323 --> 00:17:12,575
and that's the only reason I came along.
258
00:17:13,785 --> 00:17:15,286
The only reason?
259
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:18,998
Well, maybe not the only reason.
260
00:17:19,498 --> 00:17:20,917
But it was important.
261
00:17:26,131 --> 00:17:30,510
Sometimes when we put all of our focus
on one thing,
262
00:17:30,510 --> 00:17:34,264
everything else can become invisible.
263
00:17:36,641 --> 00:17:39,769
If we only look at what is in our hand,
264
00:17:39,769 --> 00:17:43,690
we may miss something
right under our nose.
265
00:17:47,402 --> 00:17:49,321
Would you like to hear a story?
266
00:17:49,321 --> 00:17:51,573
I always like hearing your stories.
267
00:17:52,115 --> 00:17:54,993
And I always like telling them to you.
268
00:17:55,577 --> 00:17:58,204
Now then. Many years ago,
269
00:17:58,204 --> 00:18:04,294
there was a small town that was on its way
to becoming a big city.
270
00:18:06,379 --> 00:18:10,800
Benjamin had just started his new job
as a maintenance worker.
271
00:18:15,555 --> 00:18:20,018
Every day he would inspect
the town's brand-new sidewalk
272
00:18:20,018 --> 00:18:23,480
- for chips and cracks.
- There's one over there.
273
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,357
And another here.
274
00:18:25,357 --> 00:18:28,360
Benjamin was so focused on his work,
275
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:32,030
he never looked up
from the sidewalk beneath him.
276
00:18:32,030 --> 00:18:35,283
- Beautiful day, isn't it, Benjamin?
- Indeed, that it is.
277
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:42,916
Several years passed,
and Benjamin was a little older.
278
00:18:43,541 --> 00:18:45,502
And so was the sidewalk.
279
00:18:45,502 --> 00:18:48,463
And he continued to keep a watchful eye,
280
00:18:48,463 --> 00:18:51,967
taking detailed notes
of any cracks he found.
281
00:18:52,717 --> 00:18:53,969
This crack has grown.
282
00:18:54,469 --> 00:18:57,305
And over here somebody had a spill.
283
00:18:57,931 --> 00:19:02,185
But while he continued
to focus only on the sidewalk,
284
00:19:02,185 --> 00:19:07,482
he didn't notice the big changes
that were taking place around him.
285
00:19:09,234 --> 00:19:11,361
Even more years passed,
286
00:19:11,361 --> 00:19:15,115
and now Benjamin was very old...
287
00:19:15,115 --> 00:19:18,368
...and still hard at work
inspecting the sidewalk.
288
00:19:21,121 --> 00:19:23,623
Excuse me. Pardon me.
289
00:19:23,623 --> 00:19:27,794
If you wouldn't mind moving a bit,
I just need to inspect this crack.
290
00:19:27,794 --> 00:19:31,548
Benjamin,
for your many years of hard work,
291
00:19:31,548 --> 00:19:34,759
our great city thanks you
for your service.
292
00:19:36,386 --> 00:19:37,929
Why, thank you, Mr. Mayor.
293
00:19:37,929 --> 00:19:39,764
Over all these years,
294
00:19:39,764 --> 00:19:42,058
you really must have seen
a lot of changes.
295
00:19:42,642 --> 00:19:43,935
Yes, I have.
296
00:19:43,935 --> 00:19:47,355
The sidewalk used to be short,
but now it's very long.
297
00:19:48,148 --> 00:19:50,400
And I've watched many cracks form
over the years.
298
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,822
I was referring to all the changes
that have gone on in our great city.
299
00:19:55,822 --> 00:20:01,161
When you started we were
a very small town, but look at us now.
300
00:20:05,957 --> 00:20:10,837
Benjamin was so busy looking
down at the sidewalk all these years,
301
00:20:11,338 --> 00:20:15,967
he never noticed the changes
that were happening up above.
302
00:20:16,468 --> 00:20:20,597
Now, how will you spend
your well-deserved vacation?
303
00:20:20,597 --> 00:20:26,686
Imagine all the things I could have seen
if I just looked up every once in a while.
304
00:20:26,686 --> 00:20:30,232
Well,
I'm gonna start doing that right now.
305
00:20:41,451 --> 00:20:43,870
I've been acting
a lot like Benjamin today.
306
00:20:43,870 --> 00:20:46,414
The whole hike
I've been focused on my book
307
00:20:46,414 --> 00:20:48,166
instead of looking up around me.
308
00:20:49,125 --> 00:20:55,048
In order to really experience the world,
we have to open our senses.
309
00:20:55,549 --> 00:21:00,470
Only then are we able to see
all the remarkable things around us.
310
00:21:01,263 --> 00:21:03,807
What do you see when you look around?
311
00:21:05,183 --> 00:21:09,062
Well, I see lots of trees and a creek.
312
00:21:09,854 --> 00:21:12,816
- And a panda.
- Yes.
313
00:21:12,816 --> 00:21:15,068
All those things are here.
314
00:21:15,777 --> 00:21:18,071
Now, close your eyes.
315
00:21:18,947 --> 00:21:21,908
Let's tune in to everything around us.
316
00:21:22,993 --> 00:21:24,035
What do you smell?
317
00:21:26,204 --> 00:21:32,002
I smell fresh pine needles and wet leaves.
318
00:21:32,961 --> 00:21:34,546
And what do you feel?
319
00:21:35,714 --> 00:21:38,091
I feel dirt crunching beneath my shoes.
320
00:21:38,925 --> 00:21:40,760
What do you hear?
321
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,973
I hear the wind blowing
through the leaves,
322
00:21:44,973 --> 00:21:46,433
and...
323
00:21:48,852 --> 00:21:50,812
I hear birds.
324
00:21:51,313 --> 00:21:53,398
A woodpecker and a robin.
325
00:21:53,899 --> 00:21:57,736
Tell me, Michael, now what do you see?
326
00:22:00,363 --> 00:22:02,157
I can't believe it.
327
00:22:15,378 --> 00:22:16,379
Hey, Michael.
328
00:22:18,298 --> 00:22:20,133
Did you check anything off your list?
329
00:22:20,926 --> 00:22:25,305
No, but I found lots of amazing things
that weren't on my list.
330
00:22:26,765 --> 00:22:28,516
Come on. I'll show you.
331
00:22:28,516 --> 00:22:30,227
Aren't you gonna use your book?
332
00:22:31,853 --> 00:22:34,147
I'm gonna look up for a change.
333
00:22:39,945 --> 00:22:42,322
Do you hear that?
That's a woodpecker.
334
00:22:42,322 --> 00:22:43,657
Wow.
335
00:22:44,199 --> 00:22:46,618
And look over there. A dragonfly.
336
00:22:47,494 --> 00:22:49,079
And a robin. See?
337
00:23:02,050 --> 00:23:05,595
With our spirits
We were floating through the trees
338
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,809
Like creatures, we were soaring high
Blowing off some steam
339
00:23:10,809 --> 00:23:14,354
Or a mountain
And its effervescent green
340
00:23:14,354 --> 00:23:20,277
A never-ending dream
341
00:23:20,277 --> 00:23:22,571
I found a little bit of honey
342
00:23:23,321 --> 00:23:26,199
And now I'm a little sweeter inside
343
00:23:28,868 --> 00:23:31,997
It's just a little bit funny
344
00:23:31,997 --> 00:23:34,624
But now I have the world on my side
