1 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Bernice was 2 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: so tired after an exciting day of creating art that 3 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: she fell asleep before Papa Bear could finish her bedtime story. 4 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: So he's going to try again tonight, Boo Boo explores 5 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: the castle attic. It's that time, Papa, said, Bernice. And 6 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: what time is that, Little Bear replied, Papa, the time 7 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: you tell me a story. Would you like me to 8 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: finish the short story I started the other night? Papa 9 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: Bear asked, yes, please? Did you do everything you need 10 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,919 Speaker 1: to do before bed? I think so. I am squeaky clean. 11 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: Our Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline ready for a story too, 12 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: I think they are. How about you, Cookie? Are you 13 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: ready for a story? Cookie was already asleep. Okay, give 14 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: me a hug and a kiss, and I'll tell you 15 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: a short story. Thank you, Papa. Once upon a time 16 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: and a world full of magic and fun, there lived 17 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: a brave little bear named Booboo. She lived in a 18 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: large castle at the edge of a mystical forest. In 19 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: this forest were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all manner of insects, 20 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: birds and animals. It was a wonderful place. Her best 21 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: friend was a young dragon named Kai Kai, and they 22 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: liked to play as much as they could. The kingdom 23 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: they lived in was full of people who lived in 24 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: the meadows, those who lived in the hills, and those 25 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: who lived in the forest, and they all lived in harmony. 26 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: On this day, Bubu thought she might spend the day 27 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: in the garden helping the gardener fix some of the 28 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: damage that Kaikai made when a sudden gust of wind 29 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: blew him off course during a landing. It wasn't very serious, 30 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: but Boboo knew that the gardener always wanted the castle 31 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: gardens to look their very best. Kai Kai was spending 32 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: the weekend with his family in the mountains, and most 33 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: of her friends seemed to have things to do today. 34 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Even her mother and father were busy. After eating a 35 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: yummy breakfast of sweet hard biscuits and milk tea, Booboo 36 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: left the kitchen to go out towards the exit to 37 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: the back garden. But as soon as she opened the 38 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: wooden door, she saw that the gray morning skies had 39 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: turned to rain. It was raining really hard, which meant 40 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: her plans to spend the day outside in the garden 41 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: would have to be put on hold. Maybe tomorrow, she thought, 42 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: as she walked back towards the kitchen. I guess I 43 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: could spend the day reading in the library. That is 44 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: always fun. We have so many interesting books, many of 45 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: them full of all kinds of good magic. Another idea 46 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: came to her as she walked up the stairs to 47 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: the library. Maybe I can explore the attic. It's so large, 48 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: and it's been so long since I've been there. It 49 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: might take me all week to see it all. Booboo 50 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: changed her direction and made her way towards the entrance 51 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: to the attic. The castle attic was a place of mystery, 52 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: a vast, dusty expanse filled with forgotten treasures and all 53 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: kinds of old magic. The entrance to the attic was 54 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: not easy to find. Booboo had to go through the library, 55 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: past the tall shelves stacked with books of every size 56 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: and color. She then slipped behind a heavy emerald colored 57 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: curtain that concealed a narrow wine staircase. This staircase, rarely used, 58 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: spiraled up and up, leading to the highest part of 59 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: the castle. Boo Boo took a deep breath and started 60 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: up the stairs, lit by special wooden lanterns that fairies 61 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: had made with their magic. The air grew cooler as 62 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: she climbed higher, the scent of old wood and paper 63 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: filling her nose. Each step creaked under her feet, echoing 64 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: through the silent corridor. She reached a small wooden door 65 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: at the top of the staircase, its surface worn and 66 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: slightly splintered with age. She turned the old brass knob 67 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: and pushed the door open, revealing the attic in all 68 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: its dusty glory. It was enormous, stretching out before her 69 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: like a forgotten kingdom. The ceiling was high and sloped, 70 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: with beams criss crossing overhead Light filtered in through small, 71 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: dusty windows, casting shadows across the room. The air was 72 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: thick with the musty smell of thyme. Booboo stepped inside, 73 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: her eyes wide with wonder. The attic was filled with 74 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: piles of old trunks, each one more interesting than the last. 75 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: Shelves lined the walls, cluttered with ancient books, trinkets, and 76 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: peculiar objects whose purpose she did not know. There were old, 77 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: fainted paintings stacked against the walls. In one corner, Booboo 78 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: spotted an ornate mirror which reflected her image back at her. 79 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: Its surface slightly fogged with age, She could see old 80 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: toy scattered about that had once belonged to children who 81 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: lived in the castle long ago. As she explored the room, 82 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: it became brighter and brighter, with the same magic as 83 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: those in the hallway. Wooden lanterns came alive with light. 84 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: She walked over to a large trunk adorned with intricate 85 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: carvings of mythical creatures. With a bit of effort, she 86 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: heaved it open and gasped at the sight of sparkling stones, 87 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: glass beads, and a delicate locket containing a portrait. As 88 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: she continued to explore, Booboo imagined the castle's past inhabitants 89 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: and the stories they must have lived. She found a 90 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: particularly old and weathered book, its leather cover cracked and 91 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: worn with age. The title The Travels of Selena, was 92 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: embossed in gold lettering, though time had faded its shine. 93 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: Booboo carefully pulled the book from the shelf, a small 94 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: cloud of dust rising as she did. She gently brushed 95 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: off the dust and opened the book. The pages inside 96 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: were yellowed, yet they glowed with a faint magical light, 97 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: hinting at the enchantment contained within. As she turned the 98 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: first page, she found a beautifully illustrated map of the Kingdom, 99 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: marked with the many places Selena had explored. Tiny drawings 100 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: of mystical creatures and enchanted landmarks dotted the map, bringing 101 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: it to life. Oh Wow, Booboo, whispered to herself, her 102 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: eyes wide with wonder This is incredible. I can't believe 103 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: I've found this. The following few pages were filled with 104 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: Selena's handwritten notes and detailed sketches of her travels. She 105 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: had a talent for capturing the essence of the magical 106 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: places she visited, from the crystal caves to the singing meadows. 107 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: Each entry was accompanied by wonderful stories and the good 108 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: magic she encountered. As she continued to read, she came 109 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: across a story about a magical flower that only bloomed 110 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: once every hundred years. Selena had found it in the 111 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: deepest part of the mystical forest and described its petals 112 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: as glowing with every color of the rainbow. The flower 113 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: had the power to heal any wound and bring peace 114 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: to troubled hearts. She turned another page and found a 115 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: sketch of Selena with another traveler named Gimbal. They were 116 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: gathered around a campfire sharing what looked like a pot 117 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: of tea. This book is a treasure, she thought, closing 118 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: the cover gently. I can't wait to read all of 119 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: Selena's adventures and learn more about the good magic and 120 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: our kingdom. Booboo carefully placed the book in a small 121 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: bag she had brought with her. She looked around the attic. 122 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: So many more books and artifacts were waiting to be 123 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: a explored, and she couldn't wait to discover more. As 124 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: she made her way back down the winding staircase, Boobo 125 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: couldn't wait to tell Kai Kai and Bixie about the 126 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: book she had found. She knew they would be just 127 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: as fascinated as she was, and they could all share 128 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: in the magic and wonder of the Kingdom's past. For now, though, 129 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: she was content to curl up in a cozy corner 130 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: of the library and lose herself in the tales of 131 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: Selena's adventures. This has been the best rainy day ever, 132 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: Buboo thought, and I can't wait to see what other 133 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: treasures I'll find in the attic With that. Papa Bear 134 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: kissed Bernice on the forehead, adjusted her blanket turned off 135 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: her lamp and quietly whispered, I love you, little bear, 136 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: and that is the end of our story. Good Night, 137 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: sleep tight.
