Now onto 44 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: our story, Gerniece and Bobby went for a bike ride, 45 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: and now Bobby has decided to work on a science 46 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: idea he has. Bobby needs a snack first because he 47 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: is starving. After he gets something to eat, he goes 48 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: down into the basement and draws out his idea. Once 49 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: he has a design, he calls Bernice to talk to 50 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: her about his idea and she helps him think of 51 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: ways it can be better and safer. Bobby wants to 52 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: make a rocket powered skateboard. Hi, Mom, Bobby said as 53 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: he walked into the kitchen looking for a snack. It 54 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: was already one hour after lunch, so he was super hungry. 55 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: After opening the refrigerator door and all the cupboard doors, 56 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: he said to his mother, who was sitting drinking a 57 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: cup of tea. Mom, I'm starving and there is none 58 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: to eat in our house. How can I become the 59 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: world's greatest inventor if there is no food to fuel 60 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: my big brain? Sighing, Bobby's mother replied, Bobby, you just 61 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: had lunch. How could you possibly be hungry already? What 62 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: can I say, Mom? A big brain needs lots of fuel, 63 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: And besides, you know that I am always hungry after 64 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: eating salad. Pizza is my superfood. Well, you aren't having 65 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: pizza for a snack. If you look a little more closely, 66 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: you will see some apples in the fruit bowl, and 67 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: there should be some nuts in the cupboard. Okay, thanks Mom. 68 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: I like apples as long as they aren't those super 69 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: sour green kind that make my cheeks hurt. They are 70 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: almost as yucky as carrots, Bobby said as he grabbed 71 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: a red apple and walked towards the basement door. Oh 72 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: and please hold all my calls. I have some super 73 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: important inventing to do, he said as he walked down 74 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: the stairs to what he used to consider the dragon's lair. 75 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: Please be careful, Bobby, the last time you were in 76 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: a mood like this, you almost blew up the whole house, 77 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: his mother said with concern. Don't worry, mom, I'm just 78 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: in the theorizing stage. I might need the advice of 79 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: my chief scientist later, though. If I think I might 80 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: make an explosion, I'll let you know first. That sounds 81 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: like a great idea, she replied, as she mentally prepared 82 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: for something silly to happen. Bobby lived in an older 83 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: house with a large basement that his father sometimes used 84 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: as a workshop for his various hobbies when Bobby was 85 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: really young he was almost grown up, he felt he 86 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: thought it was super spooky and would never go down there. 87 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: Like many old houses, there were some pretty dark corners 88 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: and lots of space for your imagination to create all 89 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: kinds of things. He imagined a dragon living there, or 90 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: maybe something super scary, like a spider. Bobby liked spiders now, 91 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: but thought the webs were kind of yucky. When he 92 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: reached the bottom of the stairs, Bobby walked past the 93 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: storage room and the room with the big machines that 94 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: controlled the house. That room sounded like the engine room 95 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: of a spaceship, he thought to himself. The basement kind 96 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: of had a stinky smell, like how their backyard smelled 97 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: when he built a time machine and visited his house 98 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: in the time of the dinosaurs. Hey, Mom, it smells 99 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: down here, he yelled up the stairs. What does it 100 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: smell like? She yelled back, Like dinosaur's feet, he yelled 101 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: as he plugged his nose. That is likely your stinky 102 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: socks that I haven't had a chance to wash yet, 103 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: she laughed. My socks don't stink, he mumbled as he 104 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: opened his father's workshop door. His father shared another workshop 105 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: in the backyard with his mom. They called that the shed, 106 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: and he kept all his yard tools and boring stuff 107 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: like that out there. He sometimes made or repaired things 108 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: in the shed, though he didn't seem very good at 109 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: it yet. The downstairs workshop was where all the cool 110 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: stuff was. Bobby wanted to build a lab like this 111 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: in his bedroom, but his mom wouldn't let him. She 112 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: was always concerned about safety. Bobby had a plan. He 113 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: looked around the workshop for the tools and supplies he 114 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: needed and found most of what he was looking for 115 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: except rocket fuel. But he could probably order that online 116 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: and have it delivered in a couple of days. All 117 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: he had to do was deepen his voice to sound 118 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: like his dad and speak into the box upstairs. He 119 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: thought rocket fuel must be pretty cheap. Grabbing some paper, 120 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: he sketched out his idea. All great inventions started with 121 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: a sketch. Bobby was going to make a rocket powered 122 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: skateboard to get to school faster than the boss. That way, 123 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: he figured he could sleep ten minutes and thirty seconds 124 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: longer in the morning, which might result in an extra 125 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: thirty one and a half hours of sleep over the 126 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: school year, which is a lot. Besides lots of pizza. 127 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: Sleep was the best way to feed his brain, which 128 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: seemed strange, but science said it was true. After sketching 129 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: his plans, Bobby said, I have to share this with Bernice. 130 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: She will be almost as excited as I am. Bobby 131 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: ran upstairs to the kitchen and asked, Mom, can I 132 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: borrow the pad? I need to call Bernice so that 133 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: we can collaborate on my invention. She's good at science 134 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Weren't you just out bike riding 135 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: with Bernice? His mom asked, she could have come over, 136 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: had lunch and helped you then. Yeah, but that was 137 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: for fun. This is serious. Work stuff. Besides, I didn't 138 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: have the idea. Then sometimes I think when Bernice and 139 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: I are together, she gives me all kinds of ideas, 140 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: but it takes time for ideas to percolate. Now the 141 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: idea has brood. Okay, my little inventor, I don't like 142 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: you spending time in front of a screen. So don't 143 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: talk and giggle too long. Okay, mom, Bobby replied, We 144 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: can work super fast, Bernice. Papa Bear yelled, Bobby is 145 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: calling you on our pad. Please come and say hello. Thanks. Papa. 146 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: When we were bike riding, Bobby said he was going 147 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: home to work on some serious stuff and might call 148 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: if he wanted to talk about it. So I guess 149 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: we are going to do some science work. Okay, little bear, 150 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: but don't talk too long. I don't like you spending 151 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: a lot of time in front of a screen. Okay, Papa, 152 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: Bobby and I can work really fast on science stuff 153 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: because we are so smart. Bobby's face then took over 154 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: the whole screen as Bernice walked up the stairs to 155 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: her room, where she was reading a book with her 156 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: cat Cookie. Hi, Bernice, what's new, Bobby said with a 157 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: laugh as his face turned different shapes. Oh nothing, what's 158 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: new with you? Bernice said, with a big smile that 159 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: got bigger and bigger on the screen. With a more 160 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: serious tone, Bobby said, well, I just sketched out a 161 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: plan for my most awesome invention yet. I am going 162 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: to make a rocket powered skateboard so that I don't 163 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: have to take the boss in the morning. Would you 164 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: like to hear the plan? An, maybe you can help 165 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: determine if the science is okay or not sure thing, 166 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: Bernice said with a laugh. Bobby and Bernice always laughed 167 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: at each other when they talked via their pads. I 168 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: don't have a whole bunch of time, though, so we 169 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: have to work quickly. My Papa doesn't like me looking 170 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: at screens for too long. Yeah, my mother is super 171 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: strict like that too. I think maybe someday we will 172 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: have pads embedded in our brains and we can make 173 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: calls immediately without anyone knowing, and search for stuff and 174 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: like have the library there for us to browse by 175 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: blinking our eyes. Yeah, then when I win the Olympics 176 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: or the Nobel Prize, you can be there at the 177 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: same time watching. That would be super cool. Yep. Anyway, 178 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: so My idea is like this. First, I'm gonna need 179 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: my mom's permission to use my skateboard. I may need 180 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: to agree not to complain about carrots for a month 181 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: or so because she is usually concerned that I might 182 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: break stuff like my body and other things. Yeah, your 183 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: mom is super duper strict, Bernice replied. Then I will 184 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: add some cool rocket science to make it super fast. 185 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: It's based on Newton's third law. You remember that one, right, Yeah, 186 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. That's 187 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: easy stuff, Bernice said, Yeah, you are the smartest in 188 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: science and math. So I'll start by attaching a small, 189 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: lightweight rocket engine to the back of my skateboard. It 190 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: will look like a mini version of the rockets that 191 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: go to space, but a lot smaller and hopefully safer 192 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: or my mom will get upset. The rocket engine will 193 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: push gas out of the back really fast, and that 194 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: will make the skateboard zoom forward. After taking a deep breath, 195 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: Bobby continued. For the rocket engine to work, I'll need 196 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: a fuel source that's safe but powerful. I thought maybe 197 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: I could order rocket fuel online and have them deliver 198 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: it to the house, but maybe that wouldn't be very safe. 199 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: So maybe I could use compressed air or a small 200 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: CO two canister like the ones used for the soda 201 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: machines or bike tire inflators. When I release the gas, 202 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: it'll create thrust and push the skateboard forward. That might work, 203 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: I think, but if you are going super fast, you 204 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: might get hurt if you fall off right, And I 205 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: don't think your mom will let you ride your skateboard 206 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: without some pads and a helmet, Bernice said, Yeah, safety 207 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: is super important, so I'll wear my helmet, knee and 208 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: elbow pads. Maybe I can design the skateboard with a 209 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: special brake system that lets me stop quickly if I 210 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: need to. I'm thinking about using a handbrake like the 211 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: ones on bikes to control your speed. You will have 212 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: to test it, right, Bernice asked. She was thinking that 213 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: this might be one of his best ideas yet. Yeah. 214 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: I'll test my rocket powered skateboard in a big open 215 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: space like the park or somewhere like that. So what 216 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: do you think of my idea? I think it is 217 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: super cool. Are you sure your mom will let you 218 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: use your skateboard instead of the school boss? I don't 219 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: think mine would. I'm sure she will once she sees 220 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: how great it works. The only problem I can see 221 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: is that the fuel might be expensive. Do you have 222 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: any ideas to help me improve it? Bernice thought for 223 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: a moment, I don't know about improving it, but I 224 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: do have a different idea that uses electric power instead 225 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: of gas canisters. Instead of attaching a rocket engine, you 226 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: could use an electric motor and batteries, kind of like 227 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: how electric cars work. You will have to first check 228 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,239 Speaker 1: if your skateboard has enough space underneath to mount a 229 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: small electric motor. You could probably buy all the stuff 230 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: online too, the motor and a remote control. Maybe my 231 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: papa buys all kinds of stuff online. Then you can 232 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: connect it to a rechargeable battery pack, which is light 233 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: and can provide a lot of power. The batteries will 234 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: give the motor electricity to spin the wheels and make 235 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: the skateboard go super fast. You can use a remote 236 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: control to accelerate, break and steer, making it really easy 237 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: to control. Plus, it's way quieter, too cool. If it's quieter, 238 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: it will be like a stealth skateboard, Bobby said with 239 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: a laugh. Yeah, everyone will be outside of school talking, 240 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: wondering where you are and then I just appear out 241 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 1: of nowhere, Bobby said, with a laugh. Thank you for 242 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: all your help, Bobby said, my mom is telling me 243 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: to end the call already, so I better go. Okay, 244 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: I'll bring some cookies for our bike ride tomorrow, and 245 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: I can help you with your skateboard if you like. 246 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: Sounds awesome. Bye, it's that time, Papa, said, Bernice. And 247 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: what time is that, little bear asked Papa. The time 248 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: for some super big Papa hugs. Well, then it's my 249 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: favorite time of the day, Papa said. I forgot to 250 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: ask you how your talk with Bobby went. Did you 251 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: have fun talking about science? Yeah, it was super fun. 252 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: Bobby had a super cool invention idea, and I helped 253 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: him improve it so there wouldn't be any fire from 254 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: a rocket. Huh. I'm glad you were able to help 255 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: Rockets firing inside his house might not make his mother 256 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: and father happy. We are going for another bike ride 257 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: tomorrow and then maybe we can try to build it 258 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: or something. I'm going going to miss bike rides and 259 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: all the fun summer stuff. I love learning and school 260 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: is fun, I guess, but I think I prefer summer. 261 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: I just hope that I have some of the same 262 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: kids in my class this year as I did last year. 263 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: The teachers like to change things. Sometimes. Summer is super 264 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: fun and a special time with lots of sunshine and 265 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: playing outside, but because it only lasts a few months, 266 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: we try to make the most of it and have 267 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: as much fun as possible. I think you did lots 268 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: of fun activities this summer. Yeah, it's been fun so far. 269 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: And don't worry about school, little Bear. Just take a 270 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: deep breath, smile, and be yourself. Bernice let out a 271 00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: great big yawn. Sorry, Papa, I'm really tired. All of 272 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: a sudden, I was hoping you would tell me a 273 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: super long story about dragons and pixies and the magic Kingdom. 274 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: Another night, Little Bear, did you do all the things 275 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: you need to do before bed? I did. I'm super 276 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: squeaky clean and I smell like bananas. Uh. Are you comfy, yes, Papa? 277 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: How about Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline are they ready for 278 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: sleep too? I think they are? And what about you, Cookie? 279 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: Are you ready for sleep? Papa Bear asked Cookie purd 280 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: we better say good night in a hurry. Give me 281 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: a great big hug and a kiss, Papa Bear said, 282 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: I love you, Papa. I love you too, little Bear, 283 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: and that is the end of our story. Good Night, 284 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: sleep tight.
