1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. I'd like

2
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: to say thank you to Ruby, who is eleven years

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: old and lives in Walnut Creek, California, for suggesting this story.

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: Spring is here, and with.

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: It the changing weather, people are catching colds and having

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: to rest. Bernice comes home from school to find Papa

7
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Bear has a bad cold. Will she be able to

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: make him feel better? Papa Bear has a bad chest cold. Hi, Papa,

9
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm home, yelled Bernice as she walked in the front

10
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: door of their small house, kicking off her sneakers and

11
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: closing the door. It's a beautiful day outside, Papa. The

12
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: sun is shining and it's warm. I guess with weather

13
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: like this, you must be in a super good mood,

14
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: because you told me that the sun and fresh air

15
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: makes you super happy. Right, Papa, I'm here in the kitchen,

16
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: little bear, Papa Bear said very quietly and with a

17
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: hoarse voice. Papa, I don't smell yummy things today, just

18
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: some kind of mediciny pine or eucapalyptus, or however you

19
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: pronounce it smell, Bernice said as she slowly walked into

20
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: the kitchen, where she saw Papa Bear sitting in a

21
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: chair drinking tea. Papa, what's wrong? You don't look so good.

22
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: Did you eat too many cookies or too many other

23
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 1: treats today? You told me once that you might feel

24
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: sick if you eat too many treats, Bernice asked, very

25
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: concerned for her Papa. No, little Bear, I am afraid

26
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: I am sick today, and it is not from eating

27
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: too many treats, unfortunately, Papa Bear said quietly. But Papa,

28
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: you are super strong and never get sick. You are

29
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: the strongest in the whole wide world. Bernice said, feeling sad.

30
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: I get sick, little Bear, because I am so healthy.

31
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: You might not notice a cold or a case of sniffles.

32
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: But no matter how strong I am, I can still

33
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: catch a virus, and this one makes me feel uncomfortable,

34
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,559
Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, as he took another drink of his tea.

35
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: What can I do to make you feel better? Papa?

36
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: Would a hug help?

37
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: A hug would be great, little Bear, but we might

38
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: want to stay apart for a little while.

39
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't want you to catch what I have.

40
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: How about you get yourself a glass of milk and

41
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: you can tell me about your day. Hearing about your

42
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: day will make me feel one hundred percent better. Remember

43
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: to wash your hands, little bear, Papa Bear said, Okay, Papa, sorry,

44
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: little bear, I didn't make any cookies today, but why

45
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: don't you grab a few cookies from the jar. They

46
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: should still be fresh and tasty. I'm sure they will

47
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: be super tasty. Papa, would you like one? Bernice asked,

48
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: as she placed some cookies on her plate. No, thank you,

49
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: little Bear. I have my lemon tea. That's all I

50
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: need right now. Sitting down at the table after taking

51
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: a great big drink of milk, Bernice asked, you sound

52
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: like you have a bad cold.

53
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: Papa. Is it a cold you have?

54
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: It's something like that, little Bear. I haven't gone to

55
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: the doctor, but I suspect it's just a bad chest cold.

56
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I have a fever, but I should be on the

57
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: men soon. With some rest, I can make dinner tonight, Papa.

58
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: I make delicious grilled cheese sandwiches, and I've made hot

59
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: dogs once. Ha ha ha, Thank you, little Bear. Mama Bear

60
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: is bringing home some pizza for you and her. I

61
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: will likely have a bit of your mama's soup that

62
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: she makes for us when we don't feel well. Papa

63
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: Bear said as he coughed into his sleeve. Your cough

64
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: sounds kind of scary, Papa, I don't think I understand

65
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: chest colds. I'll be okay, little bear. I'll try to explain. Imagine,

66
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: your lungs are like two balloons inside your chest that

67
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: help you breathe. These balloons have tiny tubes like straws,

68
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: called bronchial tubes. When you catch a bad chest cold,

69
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: some germs called viruses go inside these tubes and make

70
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: them sick. When the bronchial tubes get sick, they become

71
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: irritated and swollen. That makes it harder for air to

72
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: pass through them, and it can make you cough a lot.

73
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: Sometimes you might hear a wheezing sound when you breathe,

74
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: like a little whistle, Papa Bear said, while exaggerating the

75
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: sounds coming from his lungs. When you have a bad

76
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: chest cold, you might also feel tired and have a

77
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: low fever like I do. You may even have a

78
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: hard time breathing or feel like you can't get enough air.

79
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: But luckily I am not that sick. It is a

80
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: little bit uncomfortable and well. I don't think I will

81
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: be going for a run with your mother tonight, Papa

82
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Bear said with a smile.

83
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: But don't worry, little bear.

84
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Most chest colds go away on their own, and I

85
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: am healthy enough to get back to making all kinds

86
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: of cookies very soon. I'm just going to drink lots

87
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: of liquids and rest a bit more than normal. Okay, Papa,

88
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure you will be fit as a fiddle soon.

89
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that expression in a long time. You

90
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: have some great expressions, Papa Bear said, trying not to

91
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: laugh too much so that he wouldn't cough. Yeah, I

92
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: guess I really am like a sponge, always soaking up everything.

93
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: I hear.

94
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: You certainly are, so tell me about your day, little bear,

95
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: while I get some more lemon TEA. Well, it was

96
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: a super day, Papa. We planted more food to grow

97
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: in our garden, and we can already see some sprouts

98
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: from what we planted before. Bobby and I went outside

99
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: during break and practiced running for a while. I encouraged him, Papa,

100
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: just like you said I should. He was happy, and

101
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: then during gym class when we had another race, his

102
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: time improved. Papa, I'm happy to hear that, little Bear.

103
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: It's great to help others improve at things like running.

104
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Maybe you and Mama Bear can run a race together sometime.

105
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: She would like that. Yeah, I guess I would have

106
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: to let her win, though, because I am super fast.

107
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure she wouldn't mind, Papa Bear said with a smile.

108
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: But Papa, I made a mistake today. What happened, little Bear? Well,

109
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: during art class, we were painting flowers. Mine looked very beautiful,

110
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: and the art teacher said I make very nice paintings

111
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: and that my flowers look similar to what Georgia O'Keefe

112
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: would paint. I don't know who that is, but I

113
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: guess it must be good, or the teacher wouldn't have

114
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: said it.

115
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: That sounds great, little Bear. But what was the mistake

116
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: you made?

117
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I almost forgot. Well, I spilled some paint

118
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: and it landed on my sneakers, Papa. Now they are

119
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: all pink and red. Pink isn't my favorite color. But

120
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Papa. My sneakers look a lot different now,

121
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: and I know you and Mama just got them for me.

122
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: Huhuh.

123
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: That's okay, little Bear, that's a little mistake. They may

124
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: look even more interesting now, maybe, Papa. But I just

125
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: don't like pink. How was Gertrude today? She was good, Papa.

126
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: We traded lunches again. She brought some kind of chips

127
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: and guacamole, that green stuff, and a spicy chicken wrap.

128
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: I had some and it made my mouth super hot,

129
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: and I drank all my juice in one gulp.

130
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 2: But I still liked it a haha.

131
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: Spicy food will do that, Mama Bear, and I love

132
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: spicy food. Why don't you do some reading while we

133
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: wait for Mama to come home with dinner. She said

134
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: she would come home a bit earlier today. Yay, pizza, Papa,

135
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: I love pizza, Bernice said, with a great big smile.

136
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: After dinner, while walking upstairs with Papa Bear, Bernice said,

137
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: with a yawn, I think I should read a bedtime

138
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: story for you.

139
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: Papa.

140
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: You said you were going to bed early, and I

141
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: can do that. I can tell good stories too, I know,

142
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: little Bear. Why don't you tell me story and then

143
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: I can tell you a story. Then when I go

144
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: to bed, I will remember your story and fall fast

145
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: to sleep. Okay, Papa, but are you sure you don't

146
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: want me to tuck you in? I can do that too.

147
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I know you can little Bear. I appreciate it, but

148
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: our bedtime routine is one of my favorite times of

149
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: the day. Okay, Papa, but I'll give you Twigger to

150
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: sleep with. Twiggle will help you feel better. Thank you,

151
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: little bear. It's that time, said Bernice. And what time

152
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: is that, little Bear, replied her, Papa, The time that

153
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: I read you a story. Bernice said with a smile.

154
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: Are you comfy and warm? Yes, Papa. How about Wolfe

155
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: and Madeline? Are they ready for a story? I think

156
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: they are. And Twigg told me that she will wait

157
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: for you in your bed. Okay, what story did you

158
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: want to tell, little Bear? I'm super excited. I will

159
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: tell you about a unicorn that lives in the mystical forest.

160
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: Papa.

161
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: It's a unicorn that you haven't introduced me to yet,

162
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Bernice began. Once upon a time in the mystical forest,

163
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: there was a unicorn named Twinkle. Twinkle had a beautiful,

164
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: sparkly coat and a fluffy mane. Her man was so

165
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: fluffy that some of her friends thought it looked like

166
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: a cloud. One sunny day, Twinkle went on a special adventure.

167
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Though she was born many years ago, she was still

168
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: young for a unicorn, so she told her parents where

169
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: she was going. She followed a secret path in the

170
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: mystical forest and met a friendly squirrel named Nutmeg. Nutmeg

171
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: showed Twinkle the way to a special place called the

172
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Hidden Glade. At the Hidden Glade, Twinkle found a magical

173
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: pond that reflected the stars even during the brightness of

174
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: the day. A shiny fish named Silva lived there. Silva

175
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: told Twinkle that the pond could grant a wish to

176
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: someone with a kind heart. Twinkle wished to bring happiness

177
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: and harmony to all the forest creatures, the people who

178
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: lived in the meadows, and those who lived in the hills.

179
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: The water glowed.

180
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: Brightly, and Twinkle felt grateful. On her way back, Twinkle

181
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: was super super happy because not only was it a

182
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: beautiful day to be outside, she felt she had done

183
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: something nice. Twinkle shared her happiness with the animals and

184
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: people she met in the forest. They played games, had fun,

185
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: and became good friends. With the help of some fairies

186
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: and special magic, Twinkle's happiness spread throughout the forest, making

187
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: everything more beautiful. The chocolate trees flowed chocolate syrup, the

188
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: flowers bloomed even more brightly, and the sounds of the

189
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: brooks and rivers flowing sounded just like beautiful music. From

190
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: that day on, Twinkle always tried to do something nice

191
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: every day. She showed everyone how to believe in themselves

192
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: and enjoy the magic of the world around them, and

193
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: they all lived happily ever after in the kingdom that

194
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: Booboo and Kai Kai lived in the end.

195
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: How was that, Papa? That was the most perfect story ever?

196
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: Little Bear?

197
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: You are a great storyteller. Mama helped me make up

198
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: that story while you were having a rest after dinner,

199
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: and I remembered it. I'm getting better at remembering things,

200
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Papa Bernice said proudly.

201
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: I know, little Bear.

202
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: Soon you will be all grown up and I will

203
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: be bigger and stronger than you. Right, Papa, I'm sure

204
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: you will be, Little Bear. Now, why don't you give

205
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: me a faraway bear hug, Papa Bear said, as he

206
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: pretended to give her a hug.

207
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: Close your eyes.

208
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Little Bear, and I will wait until next time when

209
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: I am feeling better to share with you a new

210
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: story about Bixie when he was teaching at a school

211
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: called the Academy. I can't wait, Papa Bernice said, with

212
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: one eye open. I love you Papa, I love you too,

213
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: little bear. And with that, Papa Bear bleue, Bernice a kiss,

214
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: adjusted her blanket, turned off her lamp, and quietly whispered

215
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: sweet dreams, little bear. And that is the end of

216
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: our story. Good Night, sleep tight.
