a big gloopy yellow
4:31
mess was dripping down between

to talk about he grabbed
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
ha ha very funny david
5:20
jasmine said in a flat toned
5:23
i have no clue what to do
5:25

5:32
new work project in all in and
5:34
out of ideas going to get
5:36
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
and can fix almost all the problems in
6:03
the world oh and he's super
6:06

6:08
he poured milk over serial i
6:10
bet if you ask this amazing
6:12
guy for help he would do it yeah

minutes second to realize that david
6:17
was talking about himself and
6:19
she let out a little last oh
6:22
i see i do need help
6:24
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
6:51

7:09
out his phone and began looking up slime

7:14
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

when they arrived jasmine kissed her mother
9:53
to buy grabs the umbrella poster
9:56
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
17:00
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
