00:18Tofu! Tofu! Wait for me!
00:25Hey Sam! Come on over!
00:27Yes, give me a minute.
00:33Tia, why did you call him here?
00:36What do you mean?
00:37He's your friend and he just helped you win a ton of candy sticks.
00:42So what? I paid for the tickets for the games.
00:46That is very disrespectful, Tofu.
00:49You should be more thankful for the apples you get, otherwise you'll get the needles.
00:54Apples? Needles? What are you talking about, Tia?
01:00You'll know in a minute.
01:16Once upon a time, there lived two brothers.
01:19The elder one was always mean to the younger one.
01:25He would eat his food
01:32steal his dessert
01:35and beat him.
01:38One cold winter day
01:41the older brother went to the forest to gather firewood for the house.
01:46When he gathered enough, he decided to go and sell it in the market instead.
01:52I'll sell these and get some money to buy my favourite pudding for myself.
02:15After he had sold the firewood and eaten his pudding
02:21the older brother made his way back through the forest.
02:26On his way back, he hacked at the tree branches carelessly.
02:32Even though he had enough for home, he continued hacking for fun.
02:45Till he reached a golden tree.
02:47He was about to cut its branches too, when the tree spoke to him.
02:53Please don't cut my branches.
02:56Why not?
02:58If you don't cut my branches, I will give you golden apples.
03:03Okay, deal. Give me the apples.
03:07The tree gave the older brother some golden apples
03:11but the boy was really disappointed.
03:15What is this? Just these many apples?
03:19Give me more apples or I will cut you down entirely.
03:23As he picked up his axe to cut down the tree's trunk
03:27the tree poured hundreds of needles on the boy.
03:35The boy fell down on the floor
03:41unable to move
03:42crying with pain.
03:48Back home, the younger boy waited for his elder brother to come back.
03:58As it grew dark, the boy became worried
04:03and decided to go in search of him to the jungle.
04:13When he found him, he sat down beside him
04:16and lovingly and patiently took out each needle from his body.
04:34Don't worry, brother. You will be fine soon.
04:37Thank you, brother.
04:40And I am sorry. I have troubled you so much.
04:44I promise I will always take care of you and never ever harm you again.
04:51Noticing the true change in the older brother's voice and heart
04:56the tree gave the boys enough apples to last them forever.
05:01You are right, Tia. I am like the older brother.
05:06I was not being thankful to Sam for his help.
05:12Hey guys! Thanks for waiting for me.
05:15Actually, thank you, Sam, for helping me win the games.
05:20You are welcome, Sam.
05:22Now, let's go.
05:30Oh, thank you, Tofu.
05:34Let's go.
05:49These cookies are so yum. I can eat them forever.
05:54Tofu, have you ever imagined what if these cookies become alive?
05:58Alive?
06:00Hmm. This reminds me of a story.
06:10Long ago, there lived an old couple.
06:18One day, the old woman cooked a gingerbread cookie in the shape of a man.
06:29As soon as the gingerbread man was cooked
06:43he jumped out of the tin and ran out of the open window shouting
06:49Don't eat me!
06:50He ran away as fast as he could.
06:53The old couple tried to chase the gingerbread man
06:57but he was too fast for them.
07:02Soon, a hungry pig
07:09saw the gingerbread man and said
07:12Stop! I would like to eat.
07:15saw the gingerbread man and said
07:18Stop! I would like to eat.
07:25He too joined the chase.
07:29The gingerbread man was too fast and said
07:33You can't catch me. I am the gingerbread man.
07:44A little further, a hungry cow saw the gingerbread man and said
07:50Stop! I would like to eat you.
07:56She too joined the chase.
07:59You can't catch me. I am the gingerbread man.
08:14Next, he met a horse.
08:20The horse too joined the chase.
08:27Finally, the gingerbread man came to a river and stopped
08:32as the river could make him soggy.
08:37A clever fox came by and wanted to eat him up.
08:45But he pretended to be nice and offered help to the gingerbread man.
08:50He asked the gingerbread man to climb on his head
08:55so that he could take him across the river.
09:00The gingerbread man was so scared of water that he agreed.
09:05As soon as they reached the other side
09:08the fox tossed up the gingerbread man in the air.
09:13He opened his mouth and ate him up.
09:16That was the end of the gingerbread man.
09:22I don't want my cookies alive and get eaten by a wolf.
09:27Hahaha! I don't want my cookies alive and get eaten by a wolf.
09:35Hahaha! Enjoy your cookies Tofu.
09:51Tia, see I got an A grade in English.
09:55I am so happy.
09:57Oh! That's really good Tofu.
10:00But hey, this was just your first step.
10:04Your finals are still to come.
10:06Better study for them too.
10:08Hahaha! Tia, I already scored an A in it.
10:13Do you think I need to study more for the finals?
10:17Don't you think I can give my finals even without studying for them?
10:21Tofu, it's not good to be so proud of who you are and your achievements.
10:27One should always remain humble or else one has to suffer.
10:33Suffer? How?
10:35Come, I'll tell you a story.
10:45An oak tree stood tall and strong near the bank of a river
10:50and close to some reeds.
10:53It was a huge tree with a huge trunk and hundreds of big strong branches.
11:01The oak tree was so proud that he used to boast openly about his strength.
11:12I am so strong and mighty.
11:15Nothing can uproot me.
11:18Nothing can destroy me.
11:26Listening to what the oak tree was saying, the reeds couldn't resist but say
11:33Oh! Mighty oak tree, don't be so proud of your strength.
11:39Nothing in this world is immortal.
11:42Being modest is the key.
11:45Hahaha! You little feeble reeds.
11:51What do you know about strength and being the strongest tree in the jungle?
11:58Making fun of those reeds, the oak tree stood there with pride
12:04when suddenly the wind started to blow.
12:08The reeds bowed their heads as the wind started getting stronger.
12:15Watching this, the oak tree said
12:19You are so petite and weak.
12:22The slightest of winds make you bow your heads.
12:27How would you survive the strongest of storms?
12:30Hahaha!
12:32Soon the winds turned into a hurricane
12:35and the oak tree, standing straight with pride
12:39continued to laugh at the reeds.
12:43Oak tree, you might be big and strong
12:47but you need not worry about us.
12:50We will bow our heads in this powerful hurricane and survive it.
12:55If you will continue standing straight
12:58you will not be able to survive in these strong winds
13:03and break in no time.
13:06No, nothing can uproot me.
13:10I am the strongest and will continue to stand tall
13:15and never bow down, no matter what.
13:19The winds got more furious and soon the hurricane took its peak.
13:26The little reeds kept their heads low
13:29and started swinging in the rhythm of the wind
13:33thus preventing themselves from getting uprooted.
13:38But the oak tree withstood straight
13:41and tried fighting the hurricane.
13:44Ah! No! This is not possible.
13:50See, we told you.
13:52You just learnt a lesson.
13:54Better to yield when it is foolish to resist
13:58than to resist stubbornly and be destroyed.
14:03I am the strongest and will continue to stand tall
14:07and never bow down, no matter what.
14:10Better to yield when it is foolish to resist
14:14than to resist stubbornly and be destroyed.
14:18And the oak tree went drifting in the water
14:23crying over his own false pride.
14:29Tia, I think I know what you want to explain to me.
14:34I will not get fooled by my own pride
14:38Cool! Now let's get back to our studies.
