1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight Stories. Do you

2
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: like to do the same thing every day? George, the

3
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: boy in our story does. He likes routine and keeping

4
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: things simple. Every day is the same, and George likes that.

5
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: But one day a new student arrives and she is

6
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: the opposite of George. When George and Charlie start hanging out,

7
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: things change a little for George, George and Charlie. George

8
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: opened his eyes precisely six a m. Got out of

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: bed ten seconds later, had his bed made tightly thirty

10
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: seconds after that, and by six zho one was in

11
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: the bathroom brushing his teeth. George loved routine and it

12
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: helped him stay happy. He felt it was necessary to

13
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: achieve all that he wanted in an efficient amount of time.

14
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: In fact, he knew down to the minute or the

15
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: second if you asked how long it would take him

16
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: to finish public school, his undergrad degree, grad school, and

17
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: his PhD. From the time George woke up in the

18
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: morning until he went to bed at night, he had

19
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: a set routine that he followed every day. He would

20
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: wake up at the same time every morning, eat basically

21
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: the same breakfast, and get dressed in much the same way.

22
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: In fact, his closet was full of clothes that were

23
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: all the same color and style, pressed black hoodies and jeans.

24
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: George thought deciding what to wear in the morning was

25
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: a waste of time and felt those kinds of decisions

26
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: were very frustrating. His parents loved his predictability, but would

27
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: sometimes try to introduce subtle changes. They used to try

28
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: and do crazy things, but George would protest. It became

29
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: a funny game. Now could he notice the difference in

30
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: his breakfast? George sat down at the kitchen table to

31
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: have his morning oatmeal, boiled egg, and a cup of milk.

32
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: He smiled. All the utensils were placed in the same place.

33
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: The cup for his milk, the bowl for his oatmeal,

34
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: and his egg were all placed as they would normally be,

35
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: but his oatmeal was different. In his oatmeal was a

36
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: subtle smiley face drawn with thin lines of brown sugar.

37
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: I see it, mommy, he said, with a laugh. Maybe

38
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: next time I will win our little game. His mother said, smiling,

39
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: how was your sleep, little Georgie? It was sufficient, he replied.

40
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: George was economical with his conversations. George liked to get

41
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: to school before everyone else, so that he could get

42
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: a head start on the day. Oh At precisely seven

43
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: a m. George and his mother were in the car

44
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: driving to his school. They arrived at exactly seven twenty.

45
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: There had been sixteen times this year that they arrived

46
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: more than one minute late, which George tried not to

47
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: let bother him. As usual, his mother insisted on multiple

48
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: hugs before she would let him go, but this he

49
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: didn't mind, though he didn't entirely know why. Hugs from

50
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: his mother and father were one of his favorite things.

51
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: George went straight to his classroom, sat in his seat,

52
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: and set up everything he would need to learn. His

53
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: pencils were put in one place, his erasers in another,

54
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: and his notebook in front. As he sat ready, like

55
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: every morning, one of his favorite friends in the whole

56
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: wide world, came in to talk to him. Good morning, George,

57
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: Frank said, did you sleep well last night? It was sufficient,

58
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: George replied. Frank was one of the cleaning staff for

59
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the school and understood George better than anyone except for

60
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: his parents. George was always impressed with how much Frank

61
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: knew about everything. Opening the book he always carried, Frank

62
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: asked do you know what important event happened two hundred

63
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: years ago. George thought for precisely fifteen seconds and replied,

64
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: could it be the Battle of Waterloo. George remembered reading

65
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: this in a history book his father had on the shelf.

66
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: That's a great answer, but I was thinking of something

67
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: closer to home. I was just reading about the signing

68
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: of the Treaty of Ghent on December twenty fourth, eighteen fourteen,

69
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: which officially ended the War of eighteen twelve between the

70
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: United States and Great Britain. George wrote that down. George

71
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: liked taking notes and sometimes liked to draw pictures, even

72
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: though he knew his pictures weren't beautiful. Do you still

73
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: like pizza? I remember you told me before that you

74
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: like pizza. Frank asked, I love pizza, but only from

75
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: Rosso's Pizza shop near my house. They will put the

76
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: exact amount of pineapple I like on my pizza, and

77
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: the owner is nice. George replied, good, because I have

78
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: a math question for you, Frank said, Let's pretend Rosso's

79
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Pizza parlor sells slices of pizza for a dollar twenty

80
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: five each. If you buy ten slices, the tenth slice

81
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: is half price. How much would it cost to buy

82
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: ten slices of pizza? Thirteen dollars and sixty six cents.

83
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: George quickly replied, Are you sure, Frank said with a smile. Yes.

84
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: We always give rosso a fifteen percent tip. The original

85
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: answer was eleven dollars point eight seven five cents, but

86
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: we have to round up for his cash register, and

87
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: then when you add the tip, that is the final amount.

88
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: Frank laughed, Well, I hear your teacher coming, so I

89
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: will leave you and get back to work. I have

90
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: some new books in my office if you want to

91
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: drop by and read them. Have a nice day, George,

92
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Frank said, as he walked out the door. Have a

93
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: nice day, Frank, George replied. The morning continued as it

94
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: always did. The teacher said good morning, his friend said

95
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: good morning, and they had their usual classes. But at

96
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: precisely thirty minutes before lunchtime, something out of the ordinary

97
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: happened that broke what was a perfect day. Principal McPhee

98
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: walked in with someone new, someone very different. Good morning, everyone,

99
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: Principal McPhee said, this is Charlie and she is a

100
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: new student who just moved here this week. Please make

101
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: her feel welcome. Charlie gave a big wave and then

102
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: walked by George to sit in the empty seat beside him.

103
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: George couldn't believe just how different she looked. She wore

104
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: brightly colored jeans with different patches of fabric all over them.

105
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: Her sneakers were worn out and had holes in them,

106
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: and she wore a pair of mismatched socks, one with

107
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: stripes and the other with polka dots. She wore a

108
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: long beaded necklace made with a mix of colors and shapes,

109
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: with beads of different sizes and textures. Her hair was messy,

110
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: and George's amazement was two different colors of blue. If

111
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: someone looked the opposite of George, it was Charlie. For

112
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: the next twenty eight minutes, George tried to focus on

113
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: the problems the teacher had given them to solve, but

114
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: the new girl, Charlie, kept singing under her breath, distracting George.

115
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: When the bell rang announcing lunch break, everyone jumped out

116
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: of their seats, except for George, who liked to be

117
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: orderly and walked slowly. As soon as Charlie got out

118
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: of her seat, she accidentally hit her can of colored pencils,

119
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: causing them to spill all over the floor. Then she

120
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: spilled all her papers out of her binder, and she

121
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: laughed about it. No one went to help her, so

122
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: George walked back and picked up all her pencils, putting

123
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: them back into her can in order depending on their

124
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: color values. That's how George liked to arrange his pencils.

125
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Charlie said. My name is Charlie.

126
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: I guess you know that I am new to the school.

127
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: My family and I just moved here from away, and

128
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: I am really excited to be your friend. Did you

129
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: put all my pencils back into my case by color?

130
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: Can I have lunch with you? What is your name? Yes, George,

131
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: he said as they walked together towards the lunch room.

132
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: Sitting at the table together, George placed his utensils where

133
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: he usually liked to have them all lined up so

134
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: that it looked neat. But before he could eat, Charlie

135
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: started talking to him. You don't talk much, do you,

136
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Charlie asked, that's okay. I can talk enough for both

137
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: of us. I made my own sandwich for lunch today.

138
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: I even made the bread myself, but with my mother's help.

139
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: It's got sweet potato, hummus, avocado, pickled cucumber, and sprouts inside.

140
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I put some strawberry jam in it for fun.

141
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: I love strawberry jam. Do you like art, George, she asked? Yes.

142
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: George replied, upset that he had talked with his mouth full.

143
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: I love art. In fact, it's my favorite thing in

144
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: the whole wide world. See this necklace I am wearing.

145
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: I made it myself, same with my jeans. But I

146
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: don't want to be a fashion designer when I grow up.

147
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: I want to be a painter and live in a

148
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: small studio apartment in some big city and stay up

149
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: all night painting crazy things while listening to jazz music

150
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: coming from the stereo, or, better yet, coming from a

151
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: jazz club down below. Wouldn't that be super fantastic? George,

152
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: what do you want to be when you grow up?

153
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: I am going to solve the world's problems through math,

154
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: George replied, bring order to the chaos. Huh, Charlie replied,

155
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: there is math in art, you know, of course. You know,

156
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: even though you don't talk much, I bet you are

157
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: super smart anyway. My mother is a famous artist, and

158
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: she told me that many of the fundamental principles of art,

159
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: such as symmetry, proportion, and perspective, are rooted in mathematical concepts.

160
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: George's eyes widened, and he took out his notebook and

161
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: wrote some notes. Do you think it will take a

162
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: long time to solve the world's problems through math? Charlie asked,

163
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: You are in elementary school, so I guess you have time.

164
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: It will take about twelve years from now for me

165
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: to finish my PhD. For four three hundred and eighty

166
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: three days, to be exact, George replied. Just then, the

167
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: bell rang, signaling that lunch was over and it was

168
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: time to return to class. Over the next month, George

169
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: had a new routine. Every day at lunchtime, he would

170
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: sit with Charlie, listening to her talk and talk and talk.

171
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: He would often take out his notebook to write things down,

172
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: because he found that she often had very smart things

173
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: to say. Despite being different in many ways, they became

174
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: great friends. Though George still didn't talk much, they both

175
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: learned a lot about their respective interests. Charlie would talk

176
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: about a book she read of her mother's that explained

177
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: the golden ratio and how it was a mathematical ratio

178
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: that has been used in art and architecture for centuries.

179
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: George talked very very briefly about fractals and how they

180
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: are a fun way to explore math and create artwork.

181
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: Charlie would try to encourage George to loosen up and

182
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: add some color in his life. George would mostly refuse,

183
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: except he did agree to wear a wristband she made

184
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: for him because it made her happy. Exactly thirty one

185
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: days after Charlie transferred to his school and they became friends,

186
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: George started his day like any other. He still wore

187
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: the same clothes, ate the same breakfast, and played the

188
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: same game with his mother. When he arrived at school,

189
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: he would have his conversations with Frank, who, knowing that

190
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: he was friends with Charlie, would read George all kinds

191
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: of facts about art and creativity so that he would

192
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: have something new to share with Charlie. This day was different.

193
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Charlie didn't come to school the next day. Charlie didn't

194
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: come to school either, and when she didn't arrive again

195
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: the next day, George raised his hand and asked the

196
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: tea where Charlie had gone. The teacher said that Charlie

197
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: had caught a bad flu and had to stay home

198
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: to rest, but she wasn't sure when she would return

199
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: to school, maybe next week, the teacher said. George didn't

200
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: like uncertainty and missed his lunchtime routine with Charlie. That night,

201
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: while eating pizza from Rosso's, George's mother noticed that he

202
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: wasn't his usual self. What's wrong, George these past couple

203
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: of days, you don't seem to be as energized as

204
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: you usually are. Is everything going okay at school? No,

205
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: everything isn't going okay at school, he replied. Charlie is homesick. Oh,

206
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: I am sure she will. Knowing that George didn't like uncertainty,

207
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: she said, said, why don't I call Charlie's mom and

208
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: ask how she is doing. After getting off the phone,

209
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: George's mother said, Charlie's mother says she is feeling much better,

210
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: but is very sad. It seems she misses having chats

211
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: with her best friend at school. I have an idea, George,

212
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: but it will change your nighttime routine. Charlie's mom said

213
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: that a visit from her best friend would probably cheer

214
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: her up and make her feel better. George was quiet

215
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: for twelve seconds, which often seemed like a long time

216
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: for many people except his parents, Frank and Charlie. Okay,

217
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: but I want to do something else to make her

218
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: feel better, like what George's mother asked. She is always

219
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: trying to convince me to add some color to my life,

220
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: to change things. I want to color some of my

221
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: hair blue, just like hers. George's father just about fell

222
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: out of his chair. George had had the same haircut

223
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: since he was three years old, cut by the same barber,

224
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: mister Wilson. He did not like to make decisions about

225
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: his hair, so he just kept it the same all

226
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: the time. Are you sure, Georgie, his mother asked yes.

227
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: George and his mother arrived at Charlie's house a short

228
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: time later. They walked in the door and Charlie came

229
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: out of her room, looking not quite as bright as

230
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: she usually did. Even so, she was still wearing colorful

231
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: gym pants, a bright orange and the same messy blue hair.

232
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: George has come for a visit, Charlie's mom said. Charlie

233
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: took one look at George's hair and its blue stripe,

234
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: and her face lit up with a huge smile. Surprising George,

235
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: she ran over and gave him a great big hug.

236
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, George, I feel better already, George replied simply,

237
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: I am happy you are feeling better, and that is

238
00:19:41,200 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: the end of our story. Goodnight, sleep tight About the

239
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: the the p
