1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. I have

2
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: had a cold recently, but I am feeling much better now.

3
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: In this story, Bernice comes home from school and while

4
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: she is telling Papa Bear about her day, she tells

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: him that Bobby and Gertrude and several other children were

6
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: outsick from school. She and Papa Bear talk about this

7
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: and how they can stay healthy. Bernice's friends don't feel well. Hi, Papa,

8
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm home, yelled Bernice as she walked in the front

9
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: door of their small house, closing the door quickly so

10
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: all the warm air didn't escape. First, Taking a moment

11
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: to catch her breath, she said, Papa, I think I

12
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: am frozen like a popsicle. Papa, coming to the front door, said,

13
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: it is pretty cold outside, little bear. Your cheeks look

14
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: all rosy. Papa. It's so cold outside that even the

15
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: snow bear in our front yard is wearing a sweater. Yes,

16
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: I was concerned he might be too cold, so I

17
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: put an old sweater on him this morning. Papa Bear said, laughing,

18
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Why don't you take your coat and boots off and

19
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: come into the kitchen for some hot treats. Okay, Papa,

20
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: the cookie smells super delicious. After she hung up her

21
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: jacket and put away her winter boots, Bernice ran into

22
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: the kitchen, where Papa Bear placed a mug of hot

23
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: cocoa on the table. Wash your hands first, little bear,

24
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: then sit and tell me about your day. After washing

25
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: her hands, Bernice sat down and said, Wow, I like

26
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: the little marshmallows in my cocoa, Papa. Some are even pink.

27
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: What kind of cookies did you make today today? I

28
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: made an old favorite oatmeal raisin. I used to make

29
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: these for your mama a long time ago. She would

30
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: sometimes eat them before she went on a run. Was

31
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: that back when you met her in that small town

32
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: and you helped her carry her books and she felt

33
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: sorry for you because you looked so hungry, so she

34
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: made you turkey. I don't think that is quite how

35
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: the story went, little Bear, But yes, I did start

36
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: making her cookies shortly after we became good friends, because

37
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: friends make friends cookies, right, well, I do. I'm sure

38
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: other people have their own way of showing appreciation to others.

39
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: I bet you if you gave more people your cookies, Papa,

40
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: lots more people would smile more. Thank you, little Bear.

41
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: And that's not a bad idea. Maybe we should try

42
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: that sometime. So I was school today. Classes were super cool.

43
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: We learned about bones and stuff, and math class was fun,

44
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: and in art class I painted a picture of the

45
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Milky Way. But my Milky Way has cookies for planets.

46
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: The teacher said today that we have to protect our

47
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: toes because the bones in our toes are the most fragile.

48
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: That sounds like good advice, little Bear, and I can't

49
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: wait to see your painting of the Milky Way. It

50
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: sounds like you are learning lots of new things and

51
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: having fun too. Yeah. I'm a good learner and enjoy

52
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: my work. But Papa, I was a little bit lonely

53
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: in school today. Why is that, little Bear? Well, Bobby

54
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: wasn't in school today, and neither was Gertrude. In fact,

55
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: many of the kids weren't in class today. The teacher

56
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: said that they were all not feeling well, and some

57
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: kids were starting to not feel well by the end

58
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: of the day because they had those yucky boogers in

59
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: their nose. I think recently a lot of people have

60
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: bad colds, and for kids in school, that often means

61
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: staying home until they feel better. But I don't have

62
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: a cold, Papa, how can they have a cold? Then,

63
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember last year, little Bear, you were homesick

64
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: with a bad cold too. A cold virus got inside

65
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: your body and made you sick. Maybe you have been

66
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: lucky or the virus just didn't have as much of

67
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: an effect on you this time. I just remember boogers,

68
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: lots and lots of boogers. They were kind of yucky,

69
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: little Bear. A cold is an upper respiratory system infection.

70
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: This just means it can affect the nose, throat and

71
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: sinuses and create lots of yucky stuff in your nose.

72
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: I remember sleeping lots and you telling me stories, Papa.

73
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Rest is often the best medicine, little Bear. Making sure

74
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: you get lots of sleep, eat good food, and keep

75
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: your body fit through regular exercise are good ways to

76
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: help yourself prepare for a cold. And cookies, right, Papa,

77
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: and cookies, Papa Bear laughed, getting up from the table.

78
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, why don't you do some reading while

79
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I prepare dinner for you and Mama Bear? Okay, Papa.

80
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: After Bernice read, had dinner and played scrabble with her

81
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: mama and Papa, it was time for her bath and

82
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: then bed. Do you know what time it is, Papa

83
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: Bernice said, as she crawled into her bed and got

84
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: cozy and warm with her friends Twigger, Wolfe and Madeline.

85
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: Is it time for me to go to bed, little Bear,

86
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of sleepy, Papa Bear said, covering his mouth

87
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: while yawning. Yeah. I caught you yawning when we were

88
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: playing scrabble. Remember, Papa, you need to get lots of

89
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: rest so you won't catch a cold. Yes, rest is important.

90
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: So give me a hug and I'll go straight to bed,

91
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, as he held out his arms for

92
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: a hug. Hey, you forgot something, Papa Bernice said with

93
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: a laugh. I did. What did I forget? Little Bear?

94
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: You forgot that It's time for you to tell me

95
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: a story, Bernie said with a great big smile. Oh,

96
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: how could I forget my favorite thing in the whole

97
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: wide world. Are you squeaky clean after your bath? Papa

98
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: Bear asked, I certainly, am, and I used shampoo that

99
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: smells like strawberries. Strawberry shampoos sounds delicious, Papa Bear said,

100
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: you can't eat it, silly. Did you brush your teeth? Yes?

101
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: And I did my best job. Are you comfy and warm, yes, Papa.

102
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: How about Twigger, Wolfe and Madeline? Are they ready for

103
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: a story too? I think they are. Okay, give me

104
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: a big hug and a kiss, and I'll tell you

105
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: another of my short stories. Thank you, Papa. Once upon

106
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: a time, in a world full of magic and fun,

107
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: there lived a brave little bear named Boo Boo. She

108
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: lived in a large castle at the edge of a

109
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: mystical forest. In this forest were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and

110
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: all manner of insects, birds and animals. It was a

111
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: wonderful place. Her best friend was a young dragon called

112
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Kai Kai, and they liked to play as much as

113
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: they could. The kingdom they lived in was full of

114
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: people who lived in the meadows, those who lived in

115
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: the hills, and those who lived in the forest, and

116
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: they all lived in harmony. On this day, Bubu and

117
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Kai Kai planned on meeting Bluebell at Bixie's house to

118
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: attend the after school classes they often attended at his

119
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: outdoor school near his house in the forest, But blue

120
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Bell had sent a message that the class was canceled.

121
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: Kai Kai landed in the garden behind Bobo's castle. I'm sorry,

122
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm late. Booboo. I had to finish some lessons before

123
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: or I left and was a little bit slower than usual.

124
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: If you get on my back, we can still arrive

125
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: at Bixie's place early. Kai Kai said, I don't think

126
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: there is class today, Kai Kai. One of the fairies

127
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: sent me a message saying that Bixi isn't feeling well. Really,

128
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: what's wrong? I don't think I have ever heard of

129
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: Bixi getting sick. I'm just trying to read the message

130
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: they sent. Some fairies writing is so hard to read.

131
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: Why don't I have a look, Kai Kai said, as

132
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: he took the small piece of paper in his giant

133
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: front claws. HM. Nope, don't understand, he said with a laugh.

134
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Looking at the message again, Boo Boo finally had an

135
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: idea of what it meant. I think what they are saying,

136
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: in their usual eloquent way, is that Bixi has a cold.

137
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: Ah that's too bad. No one likes getting a cold.

138
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: Kai Kai said, I have an idea. Why don't we

139
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: take him something to eat that might make him feel

140
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: more comfortable. Our cook always has some tasty broth on

141
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: the stove, and I like drinking that when I don't

142
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: feel well, that's a great idea, Booboo. I'm sure he

143
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: might appreciate that. And a visit from his best student.

144
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: And who would that be? Booboo said with a laugh.

145
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: Kai Kai pretended to be upset, but then laughed. Booboo

146
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: went to the kitchen, got a covered pot full of

147
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: delicious broth, and quickly returned to the garden. Since you offered,

148
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: why don't we fly over to Bixie's place. You haven't

149
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: taken me for a ride in a long time. We

150
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: flew just last week to the cookies and ice cream shop,

151
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: Kai Kai said, as he lowered himself down so that

152
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: Boobo could easily get on his back. Really, it feels

153
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: like forever, Booboo laughed. I think we better go back

154
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: for more cookies and ice cream soon. That's a great idea,

155
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: Kai Kai said as they slowly took off toward Bixie's house,

156
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: landing in the clearing where Bixi held class. Booboo and

157
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: Kai Kai walked down the path that led towards Bixi's

158
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: small house. Because of his size, Kai Kai was always

159
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: a bit uncomfortable walking along the tree lined paths. Some

160
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: birds on the branches would complain when his head accidentally

161
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: knocked them off. As they arrived at his house, Bixi

162
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: came to the door to what do I owe this pleasure?

163
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: He asked, with a cough. I hope you got the

164
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: message that class was canceled today. We got the message,

165
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: but I thought it would bring you something fresh and tasty.

166
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: I always drink this when I'm sick. I too well.

167
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: Thank you Booboo and Kai Kai. I really appreciate it.

168
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: Bixi continued, I haven't had a cold in a few cycles,

169
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: but the older I get, the worst the colds are.

170
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: It seems you look cold. Bixi. Do you want me

171
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: to blow some hot air into your house so that

172
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: you can stay warm? Kaikai asked, that's nice of you,

173
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: Kai Kai, but I have a fire on so my

174
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: house is quite warm. I would invite you in, but

175
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to accidentally give you my virus. It's

176
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: such a deuceance. We just wanted to check on you.

177
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: We won't bother you with a visit, Booboo said, thank you.

178
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: It's so great to have students as kind as you both.

179
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm just going to sit in my chair by the fire,

180
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: read books and enjoy your tasty broth for a couple

181
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: of days. Well, I hope you get well soon, Kai

182
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: Kai said, I'm sure I will be right as rain

183
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: within a week. Turning to leave, Booboo said, I guess

184
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: we will be off. We will check in with you

185
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: later in the week. Thank you, Booboo and Kai Kai.

186
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: And with that, Papa Bear kissed Bernice on the forehead,

187
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: adjusted her blanket, turned off her lamp, and quietly whispered,

188
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: I love you, little bear. Good night, and that's the

189
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: end of our story. Good Night, sleep tight.
