00:00RUNAWAY TRUCK
00:09Help!
00:12Oh, no!
00:19No, no, no!
00:22Help!
00:27Don't worry, Le! I'm right here and I'm going to help you!
00:41La, la, la, la, la, la, la!
00:43Wow, wow, wow! I can't stop! I can't stop!
00:48Someone's in trouble! They need my help!
00:57Hi-ya!
01:12Whoa!
01:17Wow, Thomas! What a hero!
01:20You really are number one!
01:24Thomas to the rescue!
01:29Don't worry, Le!
01:31I'm going to switch tracks to get in front of you and then slow down!
01:35I've got you!
01:38Whoa!
01:45Oh, no!
01:49Oh, hi, Thomas.
01:52Yes, I did it! I saved the day!
01:56I know you were trying to help, Thomas, but that wasn't the right way to stop the truck.
02:01But I really did stop the truck. I saved the day.
02:05Yes, but you also flipped Le right off the tracks.
02:09Oh, don't worry about me. I'm completely fine.
02:14I was getting ready to stop Le in a different way. A better way.
02:19What do you mean, a better way?
02:21Have you seen the people in the square doing Tai Chi? Exercising and moving slowly together.
02:26That's how I was going to stop Le.
02:29I don't know anything about Tai Chi.
02:31I'll show you in the morning. Now, I have to go and fetch a crane.
02:37I'm sorry, Le. I was sure I was doing the right thing.
02:41I thought I was being a hero.
02:43And I'm sorry I got you into trouble.
02:46You're still a hero to me, Thomas.
02:49Oops! Oh, dear.
02:56The next day, Yong Bao took me to the park.
03:02The next day, Yong Bao took me to see the people in the square.
03:08They're doing their morning exercise. It's called Tai Chi.
03:13Wow! I've never seen anything like that before.
03:20This is how I would have stopped the runaway truck.
03:24With Tai Chi? What do you mean?
03:27Do you see the way they are all moving together, Thomas?
03:30Rather than crashing into Le, you could have backed up with him.
03:35Then both of you could have slowed down gently, moving together.
03:39Moving together? Like Tai Chi?
03:42I'll show you. Follow me.
04:00To stop a moving truck, don't just block it.
04:04Move together. Move with the truck.
04:14Okay, Thomas. Now you try.
04:18Move together, like Tai Chi.
04:23No, I'm done.
04:26Try again, Thomas.
04:44Remember to move with him, Thomas.
04:49So, using the motion of Tai Chi, I started moving backwards with him.
04:55Now you're starting to get it?
04:58Yeah.
05:04Let's do it again.
05:10Yong Bao, what should we do?
05:13Go, Thomas. You can rescue him.
05:19I'm coming for you, Le.
05:23I don't think I can handle another crash, Thomas.
05:27Le, I'm switching tracks to pass you.
05:57What? How did you get onto my track?
06:06To stop a moving truck, don't just block it.
06:09Move together. Move with the truck.
06:28Hooray! I did it!
06:31Well done, Thomas. This time you really did save the day.
06:36Your practice has paid off.
06:38And you have learned one of the guiding principles of Tai Chi.
06:42To move with the flow of energy, not just block it.
06:47Thank you, Yong Bao. I can't wait to try it again.
06:51I can.
06:53I can't wait to try it again.
06:55I can.
