00:00I love yard sales, but there are so many things to choose from, like that old toy, or that painting.
00:30Or this hippo?
00:33Check out this lamp, Lexi. It's made of salt.
00:38What do you think this does?
00:40I think it's called a pogo stick, Maya. You jump on it.
00:44Uh, no thanks.
00:50Ooh.
00:53I really like this jewelry box.
00:56I can't believe someone donated it to the art sale.
00:59Wow, it's really pretty, Addy. Are you going to get it?
01:03Well, it's locked and there isn't a key.
01:06Aww.
01:07But I'll find a way to get it open.
01:09Yeah, I'm going to get it.
01:19Hey, there's something locked inside my jewelry box.
01:22A treasure!
01:23Too bad it didn't come with the key.
01:27I think I know who might be able to help us open it.
01:29Hi, Stillwater!
01:44Hi, Stillwater!
01:45Hi, Stillwater!
01:45Hi, Stillwater!
01:45Hi, Stillwater!
01:46Hello, everyone.
01:47What a lovely surprise to see you this morning.
01:51We went to the art sale, and I bought this jewelry box.
01:53There's something in it, but I don't have a key.
01:57Hmm.
01:59Why don't you come inside?
02:02I may have just the thing to open your beautiful box.
02:06I can never seem to part with a key, even if I don't know what it unlocks.
02:24But perhaps one of these will do the trick.
02:28Whoa.
02:29That's a lot of keys.
02:30Let's try them.
02:32Look at this one.
02:33I've never seen a key like that.
02:35What about this one?
02:36This one looks like it's the right size.
02:38Ooh, look at this one.
02:40It has the same shape as the keyhole on the box.
02:46It worked!
02:54A dragon hair clip!
02:56You really scored with that.
02:58Try it on.
03:01Wow.
03:02It looks so good on you.
03:04It looks great.
03:06I wonder if whoever donated the jewelry box to the yard sale knew that was inside.
03:10Well, Addie bought the jewelry box, so it's hers, right?
03:14You know, finder's keepers.
03:17Finder's keepers?
03:19It is a beautiful hair clip.
03:21It looks a little like my favorite character from Moonrise Dragons.
03:24But this doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd put in a yard sale on purpose.
03:29Are you going to keep it?
03:30I don't know.
03:31When I think about keeping it, I feel kind of funny inside.
03:35What do you think, Stillwater?
03:36What do you think, Stillwater?
03:37You said something very interesting, Addie, about feeling funny inside.
03:43Have any of you ever had a feeling in your heart that told your mind what to do?
03:49Sometimes I feel a little itch inside, like I should call my grandma to say hi.
03:56When I see kids at school being mean, it makes me feel hot and scratchy, even if they aren't
04:03being mean to me.
04:04One time my teacher had broccoli in her teeth, and I was going to tell her, but then I didn't.
04:09And my stomach felt like I swallowed a big cold ice cube.
04:12Hmm, sometimes I get feelings like those too.
04:16I call them my inner voice.
04:19Inner voice?
04:21Mm-hmm.
04:22It's a voice that talks to you, but doesn't say anything out loud.
04:26It's hard to hear a voice that doesn't say anything out loud.
04:30But, I bet Stillwater has a story about listening to our inner voices.
04:35Haha, why, as a matter of fact, I do.
04:38One day, Kazuko was in a hurry to get home.
04:50As she rushed past a house in her neighborhood, Kazuko noticed a hole in the fence.
04:58Well, her inner voice had something to say about that.
05:03If that fence doesn't get mended, their chickens might get loose.
05:07You should let someone know.
05:09Oh, it's such a big hole, though.
05:12I'm sure they've noticed it by now.
05:15Instead of doing what her inner voice suggested, Kazuko continued on her way.
05:25There's a rain cloud coming!
05:27That laundry is going to get soaking wet!
05:30Someone ought to tell them.
05:32Everyone can see that cloud coming.
05:34I bet they'll bring the laundry in before it gets here.
05:39Kazuko was so intent on getting home that she kept ignoring her inner voice.
05:46She ignored it when she noticed a roof with a broken tile.
05:51It could fall and hurt someone!
05:54It could fall and hurt someone!
05:56A cart with a wobbly wheel.
06:00That wheel might roll away!
06:06And a beautiful garden.
06:09Kazuko chose not to act on her inner voice all the way home.
06:22Oh, Kazuko!
06:25I noticed one of your pipes is leaking.
06:27Oh, no!
06:29I'll fix it right away.
06:30Thank you for telling me, Mako.
06:32I almost didn't.
06:34But a feeling inside me told me I should.
06:37A feeling inside?
06:38Yes.
06:39Sometimes a voice inside me helps me be kind to others.
06:44My inner voice.
06:46I try to listen to it.
06:49My inner voice was telling me how I could help my neighbors.
06:54I hope it's not too late to listen to it.
06:59Kazuko returned to each of the neighbors she'd passed by earlier.
07:03And this time, she listened to her inner voice.
07:11Her neighbors were thankful.
07:14And Kazuko was so glad she had brightened their day.
07:27My inner voice is telling me that I want to at least try and find the person who donated this jewelry box to the art sale.
07:34Why do you think your inner voice is saying that?
07:38I want to know if they meant to include the hair clip.
07:40Or if it was an accident.
07:42Otherwise, every time I look at it, I'll wonder if someone else is missing it.
07:47We'll help.
07:48Where do we start?
07:50I noticed these Chinese characters earlier.
07:52Maybe they're a clue.
07:54What do they say, Stillwater?
07:55They spell out a name.
07:58M. Chen.
07:59Looks like we have a mystery to solve.
08:01While you're all on the case, I have a mystery of my own.
08:07I can't remember the last time I unlocked that cabinet.
08:11Perhaps one of these keys will do the trick.
08:15Bye, Stillwater.
08:16Bye, Stillwater.
08:16Bye, Stillwater.
08:22Let's go back to the art sale.
08:23Yeah.
08:23Thanks, Daryl.
08:35He doesn't know who donated the box, but he said we should ask Tom the barber.
08:39That's a great idea.
08:40Tom knows everyone in town.
08:41Hi, Tom.
08:51Hi, Addy.
08:52Hi, girls.
08:53Need a haircut?
08:54Not today.
08:55We have a mystery we're trying to solve.
08:58I bought this jewelry box at the art sale, and we're trying to find out who donated it.
09:02Stillwater said these characters spell M. Chen.
09:06Do you know anyone with that name?
09:08Hmm.
09:09I can't say I do.
09:10But you should ask Maggie.
09:13She's lived in this neighborhood longer than anyone.
09:15I'm sure she'll know.
09:17Who's Maggie?
09:18Oh, ha ha.
09:20That would be Mrs. Wilson to you.
09:23Her first name is Margaret, but she goes by Maggie.
09:26Thanks, Tom.
09:27Well, hello, girls.
09:46Hi, Mrs. Wilson.
09:48We're trying to solve a mystery.
09:50Ooh.
09:51I love a good mystery.
09:53We're looking for someone named M. Chen.
09:55Well, I think your mystery has just been solved.
10:01I'm M. Chen.
10:03Chen was my last name before I got married.
10:06Wow.
10:06Wow.
10:07Then you might recognize this.
10:09Oh, my old jewelry box.
10:11I donated that to the art sale with a few other things.
10:14I love it.
10:16It was locked, but Stillwater helped us open it.
10:18And we found something else inside.
10:20Oh, well, you look at that.
10:23I thought I lost this hair clip years ago.
10:27May I?
10:29I loved this so much when I was your age.
10:33I wore it almost every day.
10:36I just adore dragons.
10:38So do I.
10:38It sounds like this hair clip is really special to you.
10:44I'm glad we could help it find its way home, Mrs. Wilson.
10:47Me too, Addie.
10:50But I think it needs a new home now.
10:53With a fellow dragon lover.
10:56Are you sure?
10:57You loved it so much.
10:58You're right.
10:59I did.
11:00But now, whenever I see you wearing it,
11:03it will make me just as happy.
11:05Thanks, Mrs. Wilson.
11:10Whenever I wear it, I'll think of you.
11:12Oh.
11:14Bye, girls.
11:16Bye, Mrs. Wilson.
11:18I'm really glad we listened to your inner voice, Addie.
11:20Seeing how much Mrs. Wilson loved that hair clip
11:22was way better than sticking with finders keepers.
11:25I'm glad, too.
11:30Hi, Stillwater.
11:32Hello, Addie.
11:33Did you solve your mystery?
11:34We did.
11:36M-Chen is Mrs. Wilson.
11:38This jewelry box used to be hers.
11:40And the hair clip, too.
11:42She was so happy to see it again.
11:43She said it brought back a lot of good memories.
11:46But she wanted me to have it now.
11:48What a wonderful gift.
11:52Any luck with your cabinet?
11:54Ha.
11:55This is the last key.
11:57Let's see if it's the one.
11:59It worked.
12:03What do you have locked in there?
12:07This used to be my favorite hat.
12:11What do you think?
12:13My inner voice says it's perfect.
12:16Ready, Lucas?
12:383, 2, 1, drop.
12:51It didn't work.
12:54Ugh.
12:54Let me try the other one.
13:013, 2, 1, drop.
13:06It didn't work, either.
13:11Back to the drawing board?
13:14Who would have thought dropping an egg without it breaking would be so hard?
13:23We just have to keep trying.
13:24Got any other ideas?
13:26Check it out.
13:27We cover the egg in squishy marshmallows.
13:30We could try it.
13:34Hi, Addy.
13:35Hi, Lucas.
13:36What are you up to?
13:38Just working on a project for school.
13:40What kind of project?
13:41The egg drop.
13:42We have to find a way to drop an egg without it breaking, using everyday objects.
13:47Since the egg is falling from high up, I thought we should do something to slow it down.
13:51So, I was thinking about attaching a balloon to the egg.
13:54Ah, I tried that idea, too.
13:57But it didn't work.
13:58The balloon can slow it down, but it'll still break when the egg touches the ground.
14:03You've done this before?
14:04Oh, yeah.
14:05I had so much fun doing that one when I was in your grade.
14:08I broke so many eggs trying to figure out what would work.
14:12It took me an entire weekend.
14:14An entire weekend?
14:16My parents are supposed to take me to the movies tomorrow.
14:18Don't worry.
14:19You'll come up with something.
14:20But if you want to show me what you've got so far, I can probably give you some advice.
14:26My cousin Phil is a pet cockatoo named Bootsy.
14:29What if she picked up the egg and flew it down to the ground?
14:33One question.
14:34What happens if it flies away with your egg?
14:38Hmm.
14:39I hadn't thought of that.
14:41We'll keep thinking, Lucas.
14:42We're bound to come up with something that will work.
14:45Why don't I show you my project, and maybe that will inspire you?
14:49I don't know, Michael.
14:50I think we're supposed to come up with our own ideas.
14:53It's not copying.
14:55It's inspiration.
14:56Just trying to save you from making the same mistakes I did.
15:00It couldn't hurt.
15:03Okay.
15:03We'll have a look.
15:09The bubble wrap keeps the egg safe, and the box helps take the hit from the fall.
15:13Why didn't I think of that?
15:18Well, it took a lot of broken eggs to get to this.
15:22If you like it, I've got some ideas for how you can make it even better.
15:26What about the balloon idea?
15:27I'm telling you, Addy, it's not going to work.
15:31I've already tried it.
15:34How about this?
15:35We test my design against yours, and you'll see.
15:39Okay, Michael.
15:40You've got a deal.
15:43Ready?
15:44Ready.
15:45Three, two, one, drop.
15:54Nice job, Michael.
15:56Mine wasn't so lucky.
15:57Guess you were right.
15:59Sorry about your egg, Addy.
16:01How's mine?
16:01It didn't break.
16:08You can take mine design as a starting point for your own egg protector.
16:12I like your shoebox idea, Michael.
16:14And if it means I can still see my movie, even better.
16:17See, Addy?
16:17Lucas agrees with me.
16:19Well, it's my project, too, and I don't want to give up on my own ideas yet.
16:23But think of all the time and frustration you'll save.
16:26I don't want to save time, Michael.
16:28I want to do it myself.
16:31Hi, Stillwater.
16:51Hello, Michael.
16:53How is your day?
16:55Not great.
16:56Oh.
16:57How so?
16:58Addy and her friend Lucas are doing a science project.
17:02I've done the same one before and have all sorts of tips, but they don't want any of them.
17:07It sounds like you're feeling frustrated that your sister and her science partner aren't taking your advice.
17:15I'm just trying to help.
17:17Tell me, Michael.
17:18What was your favorite part of this assignment?
17:20I had a lot of fun coming up with different designs.
17:24I broke so many eggs, I thought I was never going to figure it out.
17:28I'm sure that was quite a mess.
17:31When I finally made something that worked, it felt great.
17:36That's why I want to help Addy.
17:38So she can get to the good part faster.
17:40Have you ever considered that getting to the good part faster might not be the best way to get there?
17:49How can not getting to the good part faster be good?
17:54I have a story that might help you see why.
17:58Sure.
17:59I can use all the help I can get.
18:00I can use all of my friends.
18:02I can use all of my friends.
18:04I can use all of my friends.
18:04Are you sure you've got to know what's going on?
18:06I can use all of my friends.
18:08Every year, a group of leatherback turtles traveled from one side of the ocean to the other.
18:17They called it the crossing.
18:27Follow me, everyone.
18:28Hmm, just a little further and we'll take our rest."
18:33With their trusted leader at the front, they made it safely to their destination every
18:39time.
18:45Many years passed, and this leader grew old.
18:52The time has come for someone new to lead the crossing, who shall it be?
19:01Will no one volunteer?
19:04Ah, young one, you will be the one.
19:09No uncle, we... none of us know the way.
19:13We've made this journey countless times, how could that be true?
19:20Because on every journey, we've always followed you.
19:24Ah, very well.
19:27I will lead you all on one last crossing, except this time I will be in the back of the bale.
19:36The rest of the leatherbacks were surprised by this, and a little nervous.
19:41At first, it was not easy.
19:51They traveled in a circle.
19:55The leader would watch out for those who were at risk of getting lost.
20:03This way, please.
20:05But he let them learn from their own mistakes.
20:10How do we get out of here?
20:12I think we're lost.
20:14I think that it's... this way.
20:21We did it!
20:22Yeah, we did!
20:23We did it!
20:24They had to make many tough decisions.
20:28Uh, should we go around?
20:31I think we should go through.
20:33But they were also able to discover new routes.
20:48This way, everyone!
20:51Woohoo!
20:52Woohoo!
20:53Yeah!
20:54Woohoo!
20:55Woohoo!
20:56Woohoo!
20:57Woohoo!
20:58And eventually, they made it safely to their destination, with their proud leader bringing
21:05up the rear.
21:06It would have been a lot easier if the other turtles just had their leader show them.
21:18But they learned a lot more by figuring it out for themselves.
21:21There are many different ways to be a leader.
21:25Sometimes, you lead from the front.
21:28And sometimes, you lead from the back.
21:31I learned a lot when my egg drop designs didn't work.
21:35It's not fair to keep Addy and Lucas from learning that way, too.
21:39Letting someone learn from their own mistakes can itself be a great gift.
21:48Hey.
21:50I wanna say I'm sorry.
21:52I shouldn't have told you how to do your project.
21:55It's okay, Michael.
21:56I know you were only trying to help.
21:58We're almost out of eggs, but I think we've got some good ideas now.
22:03This uses balloons all the way around the egg to keep it nice and safe.
22:07That's a great idea, Lucas.
22:09I can't wait to see it in action.
22:11I'm building a house out of drinking straws.
22:13They'll take the hit from the fall so the egg won't even touch the ground.
22:17Wow, Addy.
22:18I never would have thought of that.
22:20There's only one problem.
22:21I'd rather not use plastic straws since they aren't great for the environment.
22:25What about sticks?
22:27Maybe.
22:28We need something springy.
22:30If only straws grow on trees.
22:32That's it.
22:33What?
22:34They do grow on trees?
22:36No, silly.
22:38We need to pay a visit to Stillwater.
22:40Thanks for the bamboo, Stillwater.
22:44These will be perfect.
22:46I'm glad to help.
22:48Ready?
22:49Ready.
22:50Three.
22:51Two.
22:52One.
22:53Drop!
22:59They didn't break!
23:00We did it!
23:01Yeah!
23:02That was very impressive.
23:05It was a lot harder than I thought, but I learned a lot.
23:09I think you're both going to do great in the competition.
23:13Really?
23:14Well, we had a lot of inspiration.
23:17You did?
23:18Of course.
23:19We want to beat your record.
23:21Yeah!
23:22I think you might.
23:25Let's try it again, but this time even higher.
23:28Actually, Stillwater, maybe you should drop it since you're the tallest.
23:32With our spirits, we were floating through the trees.
23:47Like creatures, we were soaring high, blowing off some steam.
23:52Or a mountain and its effervescent green, never-ending dream.
23:57I found a little bit of honey
24:03Now it's a little sweeter inside
24:07It's just a little bit funny
24:12Now I have the world inside
24:27I found a little bit funny
