5:00

the ball and dumped all the watery

5:02

flying into the trash again

5:05

why do we have here

5:06

the admin looked to see her older brother

5:09

a twinkle of a smile and his eyes

5:11

looking at the mess in the trash wow

5:14

this science project is

5:16

really going to impress your teacher

5:18

5:23

i have no clue what to do

5:25

a really bad grade on this project

5:39

he placed the ball back on the counter

5:41

and began washing yellow slime off

5:43

her hands david grabbed a cereal

5:46

box from the cupboard and poured it into a bowl

5:48

well you do know why it's not

5:50

working right jasmine looked at him

5:53

very confused if i knew

5:55

that i would know how to fix it i'm

5:57

just saying that there's someone in this

5:59

house that super duper smart

6:01

6:03

the world oh and he's super

6:06

minutes second to realize that david

6:17

was talking about himself and

6:19

she let out a little last oh

but i thought this super cool guy

6:26

had a lot of important high school home

6:29

to finish at least that's what he's

6:31

always saying i didn't think he'd

6:33

have time to help me with my own homework

6:35

they they didn't answer instead

6:38

he grabbed the slime recipe from the counter

6:40

and began reading it to himself between bites

6:42

of cereal the admins heart

6:44

began to feel a million times lighter

6:47

if her big brother david could help

6:49

her she was sure to get this sly made

up and hugged her older brother decided

7:16

to hold back since he looked very focused

7:19

on finding a good recipe instead

and jar and walked carefully

9:58

up the sidewalk towards the front door

10:00

her legs were getting soaked in the rain

10:03

but she didn't care as long as the umbrella

10:05

kept her project dry he

10:08

was so focused on not getting her project

10:10

wet she didn't see that

10:12

giant puddle in front of her the

10:15

for she knew what was happening she

10:17

stepped deep down into the puddle

10:19

splashing water everywhere he

10:21

tried to jump back out and away from

10:23

the wet puddle but instead she

10:25

managed to trip over her feet it

10:28

all happened so fast she didn't

10:30

even have time to think he

10:32

fell forward dropping everything

10:34

in our hands in order to catch yourself

10:36

on the ground

10:38

her one side see heard the

10:40

shatter of glass

10:43

the admin linked a few times trying

10:45

to get rain water and mud out of her eyes

10:47

then she looked up and

10:49

gas they're beautiful

10:51

jar of slime lace shattered

10:54

on the wet sidewalk last

10:56

and mud pieces stuck to the slime

10:59

making it look like an ugly sticky

11:01

ball of moss

11:03

next did this disaster lay her

11:05

poster

11:06

the entire thing is floating

11:08

in the large

11:09

it he threw crinkle been

11:11

ruined

11:12

she had been so much

11:14

time on fading away

11:16

the admin fell peers kooning

11:18

she slowly stood up and looked around

11:21

many students were staring at her under their

11:24

umbrellas and hood he could see

11:26

to of our good friends running towards her

11:28

with concerned looks on their faces

11:30

what was she going to do

11:33

project had taken or so much

11:35

time and she was supposed to have it finished

11:37

today what would your teacher

11:39

say what would david say

11:41

after taking so much time to help her

11:44

their friend arrived and began asking

11:46

lots of questions but

11:48

there have been wasn't listening

11:50

he was too frustrated and sad

11:52

to concentrate right now

11:54

one of her friends lifted jasmine large

11:57

umbrella off the ground and held it over all

11:59

of them putting their arms around

12:01

her the two friends pulled her into

12:03

the school building saying something

12:06

about finding the school janitor so

12:08

he could clean up the mess

12:10

the admin white peers from her face

12:12

he could hardly imagine

12:14

anything worse than that headset

12:16

happen

12:18

edmunds teacher was understanding

12:21

he said that says and could just finish

12:23

the project again and presented after

12:25

the weekend the admin felt

12:27

overwhelmed at the thought of spending more

12:30

time in the kitchen trying to make the

12:32

perfect slime and a beautiful posted

12:34

to go with it he had already spent

12:36

so much time on this project

12:38

was see new david was going to be

12:40

very busy with sports practices

12:42

this weekend

12:44

though he probably wouldn't be able to help or

12:46

this time

12:47

he side what choice

12:49

did he have the she didn't do

12:51

it silly sure to get a bad grade

12:53

and hands

12:54

though she took a deep breath as a teacher

12:57

wrote down math equations on the whiteboard

12:59

she knew that she would just

13:01

have to do it again

13:03

he

13:14

it worked on or project

13:17

relieved that it only took

13:19

two tries this time to make the perfect

13:21

fine

13:22

with the new recipe that david had found

13:24

it wasn't as hard

13:26

when he was done she put the slime into

13:28

a large plastic bag

13:30

he didn't want to risk breaking glass

13:32

jar again

13:33

and then that to work on the poster

13:36

he wrote everything again trawling

13:39

the same diagrams printing the

13:41

same pictures gluing the same

13:43

decorations felt

13:45

a bit frustrating to do all the

13:47

same things again but she

13:49

kept going finally

13:51

see finished he stood

13:53

back and smiled the even

13:56

thought it might look a little better than the other

13:58

project on monday

14:00

morning which thankfully was a very

14:03

sunny day the admins mother parked

14:05

in front of the school and helped jasmine

14:07

carry her projects street today to

14:10

make sure that nothing happened this time

14:13

jasmine stood up and funny class and

14:15

presented her slime project to everyone

14:18

afterwards the class got to take turns

14:20

holding the slime which everyone loved

14:23

the teacher told jasmine that she had done an

14:25

excellent job and gave her the very

14:27

highest grade after

14:30

dinner that evening thousand lambda cats

14:32

reading

14:36

he heard her brother

14:38

come into the room behind her and

14:40

pick up his ukulele hedman

14:42

smiled

14:43

he loved when david played his music

14:46

14:48

16:09

puppy so i think i'll spare you

16:11

david smiled what do you say we watch

16:14

a movie tonight the answer to that

16:16

question was always yes david

16:19

sat next to her browsing which movies

16:21

to watch he said you know

16:23

if you wouldn't have worked so hard on your

16:25

project you wouldn't be feeling this good

16:27

right now edmund thought about

16:29

it silently he didn't feel

16:32

good very good that he had worked

16:34

hard even after a big trip in the

16:36

rain he knew that is she had

16:38

just accepted a bad grade on this project

16:40

she wouldn't be feeling this good right now

16:43

the it hadn't been a very thin journey

16:45

but the end results were worth it that

16:48

got interrupted when david excitedly

16:50

expand here though

16:53

on we love

16:54

press play on one of their all

16:56

time favorite movie

16:58

the admin settle down in the couch

ready for a peaceful night of relaxing

17:03

with

17:03

the older brother

17:16

right now over

17:19

yeah nothing happened to me it

17:23

is a lot of work when something

17:25

goes wrong in your life and you're still able

17:27

to keep going and makes the best or

17:29

better of it that means that you

17:32

have

17:35

the million is

17:37

how wonderful ability to keep

17:39

on going even after something

17:41

bad happens p

17:45

i am is amazingly and i had

17:47

resilience when we decided to steal

17:50

i find family be too soon after

17:52

it all went wrong there say

17:54

i bet that every one of our listeners

17:57

has practiced resilience at one

17:59

time or another he resilient

18:01

doesn't mean that you don't get frustrated

18:03

or sad about the thing that went wrong

18:06

but it means that you're able to

18:08

work hard and eventually get

18:10

to a better place you

18:12

play like the else three at my house

18:15

see , pretty resilient when he can find

18:18

a new coins coins be my

18:20

best quality i'd say

18:22

probably true momo if i

18:25

ever need an acorn high definitely

18:27

know who the as the all ,

18:29

because question time soon

18:32

what think it might

18:34

be hard to have resilience when

18:36

something goes wrong in life
