    00:05 She thought that she could win, but there was no way. 00:08 Next year, I’ll be the fastest kid in the entire school! 00:12 That’s ‘cause I’m not in your school. 00:15 Oh, please!  Remember last time 00:17 when I beat you in front of the whole congregation? 00:25 Caleb, do you remember this story? 00:29 Oh, yeah, 00:30 that’s the Tower of Babel. 00:32 That’s right! 00:33 Why were these people trying to build this tower? 00:36 So they could live there? 00:39 Actually, 00:40 it was because they thought they were awesome 00:42 and wanted to show off. 00:45 But what did Jehovah think of that? 00:47 Oh, he didn’t like it. 00:49 That’s right. 00:51 He even confused their languages 00:53 so they would stop bragging. 00:55 But at school everyone brags! 00:58 I know. 00:59 Lots of people brag. 01:01 I have bragged too. 01:04 But that’s wrong. 01:06 When we brag or show off, 01:08 it’s like we are building 01:09 a tower for ourselves, 01:11 just like the Tower of Babel. 01:13 If I wanted to, 01:14 I could set a new world record 01:16 —no problem! 01:20 If you say so. 01:21 But I’m better at basketball than you. 01:25 I was just messing around, 01:27 but they say I’m a natural. 01:30 The higher up we try to put ourselves, 01:32 the more dangerous it gets. 01:34 Do you know why? 01:36 Because we’ll eventually fall? 01:39 Whoa, whoa. 01:43 Whoa! 01:44 Ooph! 01:45 Yes! 01:47 Also, 1 Peter 5:5 01:50 means that Jehovah doesn’t want us acting like 01:52 we are better than everyone else. 01:54 Humble people don’t need to brag, 01:58 because Jehovah will make them 01:59 feel good about themselves 02:00 on the inside.
