00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten in trouble for something somebody else did?

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Today's story is about being fair. Welcome to Storytime by

00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: one of our episodes. Today we will listen to an

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: adaptation of a folk tale from India. There once was

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: a kingdom of rabbits. It was ruled by the Queen Rabbit.

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: The queen had hundreds of servants and an army of

8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: knights to care for every detail of her castle and

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: her royal comfort. One group of servants had a very

10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: special job caring for her precious jewelry. Her seven tiny

11
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: servants each held a key to the chest where the

12
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Queen Rabbit her finest jewels. The chest was in a

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: secret room, down a series of rabbit holes that only

14
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: these little bunnies could fit through. They would scurry down

15
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: and fetch whatever jewelry the queen wanted to wear, and

16
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: make sure it was returned and locked up safely. One day,

17
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: Queen Rabbit ordered a bunny to bring her a beautiful

18
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: diamond ring. She wanted to wear it to a royal

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: party taking place in a neighboring kingdom. Bunny number one,

20
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: bring me my most precious ring. Bunny number one knew

21
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: the ring. It had a large diamond in the center,

22
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: surrounded by one hundred dazzling gems. With a twitch of

23
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: her little nose, she hopped swiftly toward the rabbit hole.

24
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: After a long while, Bunny number one returned to Queen Rabbit.

25
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Her whiskers were trembling. She bowed to the Queen and

26
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: in a timid voice, declared that she could not find

27
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: the ring. Queen Rabbit was outraged. What that can't be

28
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: You didn't look in the right place. Bunny number two,

29
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: come here quickly. Bunny number two rushed to bow before

30
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: the queen received the order to fetch the ring, and

31
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: sped off to the secret tunnels. When Bunny number two returned,

32
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: she too looked very afraid. She bowed to the Queen

33
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: and admitted she too couldn't find the ring. Queen Rabbit's

34
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: ear stood straight up as she cried out, not in sentence.

35
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: She ordered the other five bunnies to each go in

36
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: search of the ring, and each one came back empty handed.

37
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: Clearly someone had stolen the ring. The Queen demanded that

38
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: the guilty bunny come forward, but the seven bunnies only

39
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: stood in their spots, shaking with fright. If no bunny

40
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: will admit her guilt, I'll have no choice but to

41
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: punish you all. Just then, the Queen's adviser, Noggin, entered

42
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: the room. Noggin was an old wise hair who had

43
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: a knack for solving puzzles. He held up his hand

44
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: and declared, stop, I a better plan. Everyone meet me

45
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: in the garden in one hour. An hour later, Queen

46
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Rabbit and the seven bunnies met Noggin in the garden.

47
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Holding a basket of carrots, he announced, your highness, I've

48
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: carefully plucked seven carrots from the garden. You see, they

49
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: are all exactly the same size. The Royal Wizard placed

50
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: a magic spell on the carrot garden. Each bunny is

51
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: to take a carrot to her room and place it

52
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: on a plate overnight. If any bunny is guilty, her

53
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: carrot will grow overnight. The bunnies looked at each other

54
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: suspiciously as Noggin handed each one a carrot. The Queen

55
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: ordered the bunnies to their rooms. All were to meet

56
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: in the garden the next morning. Queen Rabbit, Noggin, the

57
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: seven bunnies, and one of the Queen's knights met in

58
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: the garden the next morning. The Queen ordered the seven

59
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: bunnies to hold out their carrots. As the Knight made

60
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: his way around, inspecting each one, they were all the

61
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: same size until he got to Bunny number five. The

62
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: Knight pointed to the carrot and Queen Rabbit let out

63
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: a gasp. Oh, Bunny number five's carrot was not bigger,

64
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: it was smaller. How can this be? Asked the queen.

65
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: With a signal from Noggin, the Night took Bunny number

66
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: five away. The other bunny stared in shock, and Noggin explained,

67
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: you see, your highness, the carrots were not magical. Bunny

68
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: number five's guilt made her believe that her carrot would grow. Yesterday,

69
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: she slipped back to the garden and picked a smaller carrot,

70
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: thinking it would grow by mourning, Naggin, you are so clever.

71
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: We are lucky to have you here. It wouldn't have

72
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: been fair to punish the other six innocent bunnies, Queen

73
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Rabbit apologized to her voted bunnies. The night found the

74
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: previous ring hidden in Bunny number five's den. Queen Rabbit

75
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: put it on and left for the Royal Party. We

76
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: hope you liked the story. Have you ever had to

77
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: solve a mystery or puzzle? How did you solve it?

78
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: Think about it? Goodbye until next time,
