1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Libby is

2
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: feeling better in her new house and new school now

3
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: that Margarita has joined their family. Libby wishes she could

4
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: make more friends at school, but is happy to head

5
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: home and spend time with the cat. When Libby gets home,

6
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: she cannot find Margarita anywhere, and so Libby and her

7
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: mom spend some time looking for her. Where could she be?

8
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Margarita is lost? Libby walked into the kitchen blurry eyed

9
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: while listening to music. She grabbed a glass of milk

10
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: and sat at the table to eat breakfast. Good morning, Libby,

11
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: her mother said. Receiving no reply, she said, Libby, what,

12
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, Mom, I didn't hear you with my headphones on.

13
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Libby finally replied, do you have to listen with your

14
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: headphones on all the time? Her mother asked, you didn't

15
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: like my choice of music, remember, And besides, I can

16
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: feel the music when I listen with my headphones on.

17
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: What's for breakfast? I'm starving. I am making scrambled eggs

18
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: this morning, her mother replied again. Can't we have pizza

19
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: for breakfast?

20
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: Mom?

21
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Pizza is the best haha, No, Libby, pizza is a

22
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: treat for Friday nights, not for breakfast, her mother replied.

23
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: But Margarita eats pizza. Margarita is an unusual cat, her

24
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: mother said, as she put a plate of scrambled eggs

25
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: and toast in front of Libby. That reminds me, I

26
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: need to feed that crazy cat, Margarita. Here, kitty, kitty,

27
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: it's breakfast time. With a thump, Margarita jumped off the

28
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: couch and quickly walked into the kitchen where Libby's mother

29
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: was waiting with her food. First, she tried to give

30
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Margarita a drink of milk, but she wouldn't drink it.

31
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: Then her mother brought her a bowl of tuna, but

32
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Margarita would not eat it. Then Libby's mother tried giving

33
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the cat pizza flavored cat food, but Margarita would not

34
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: eat it. Ah, you are one unusual cat, Libby's mother said.

35
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Walking to the fridge, Libby's mother brought out a cold

36
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: piece of pizza, heated it in the microwave, and gave

37
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: it to Margarita, who proceeded to eat it all up.

38
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: After eating breakfast, Margarita had a drink of water, licked

39
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: her mouth, and walked to the living room, where she

40
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: would lie on the couch for the rest of the day.

41
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: After breakfast, Libby gathered her books, and, after saying goodbye

42
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: to her mother, walked to school. These past couple of

43
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: weeks had been far more bearable for Libby now that

44
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Margarita was part of the family. She still hadn't made

45
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: any real friends at school, but at least she had

46
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Margarita to talk to during math class, her least favorite subject.

47
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Libby wondered if there was an introverted cat lovers club

48
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: at school that she could join. Maybe that would be

49
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: a good way to make friends. Except everyone would likely

50
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: just sit in silence because we would all be too

51
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: shy to talk to each other, she thought with a laugh.

52
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: After school, Libby walked home as quickly as she could.

53
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: She was excited to spend time with Margarita. She wanted

54
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: to tell her about her day and dress her and

55
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: scarves and bows to make her prettier. Margarita was a

56
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: gentle cat and somewhat patient, so as long as you've

57
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 1: fed her lots of pizza, she was happy to play

58
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: all kinds of games. Libby walked in the door and

59
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: called out, Margarita, I'm home. Here, kitty kitty, Margarita didn't come.

60
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Walking into the living room, Libby called out, silly cat,

61
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: why didn't you come to see me when I got

62
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: home like you usually do. You aren't listening to my

63
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: music with my headphones on, are you? She said with

64
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: a laugh. As she looked under the couch. She still

65
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: couldn't see or hear Margarita. Libby then looked for her

66
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: in her bedroom, but she wasn't there. She then looked

67
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: in her mother's room, but she wasn't there. Libby looked

68
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, the bathroom, and the study room, but

69
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: Margarita wasn't in those places I either, Libby called out again, Margarita, here,

70
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: kitty kitty, but she did not come. Libby felt worried

71
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: and sad. A short while later, her mother came home

72
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: and found Libby looking miserable in her room. What's wrong, Libby,

73
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: she asked, You look a little down in the dumps

74
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: with teary eyes. Libby said, I can't find Margarita anywhere.

75
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: I came home and looked for her, but she was gone.

76
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: Why would she leave? Mom? Are you sure you looked everywhere?

77
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Remember when you were looking for your house keys and

78
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: we looked all over the house, in your bag, outside

79
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: in the yard, and they turned out to be in

80
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: your pocket all the time. Her mother said, Margarita isn't

81
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: in my pocket. Mom, Libby said, a little bit grumpily, okay, okay,

82
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: let me see if I can find her. Maybe she

83
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: is as good at hiding as she is at eating pizza. Margarita, Here,

84
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: kitty Kitty, Libby's mother called, Margarita didn't come. Walking into

85
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: the living room, she called out here, kitty kitty, I

86
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: have some fresh pizza for you. Are you hiding somewhere

87
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: in here? But she couldn't see or hear Margarita. Libby's

88
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: mom then looked for her under the couch, under the chairs,

89
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: and behind a shelf, but she wasn't there. She then

90
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: looked in her bedroom and she wasn't there. Libby's mom

91
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: looked in the kitchen, the bathroom, and the study room,

92
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: but Margarita wasn't there either. She wasn't anywhere. Walking back

93
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: into Libby's bedroom, she said, I just don't know, Libby.

94
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't know where she could be. Maybe she got

95
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: out of the house. Should we look around the neighborhood, Mom,

96
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Maybe she did get outside somehow and is walking around

97
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. Libby said, I guess we could, her

98
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: mother replied. For the next couple of hours, Libby and

99
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: her mother roamed the neighborhood looking for Margarita. They called

100
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: out her name everywhere they went. Libby's mom talked to

101
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: the neighbors to see if they had seen her. Libby

102
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: looked in and underbushes, looked up into trees, and even

103
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: took some pizza with her in case Margarita could smell

104
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: the pizza and come running. But after all that time,

105
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: they did not see or find the cat. Coming home,

106
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Libby was very sad. I feel like I have lost

107
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: my best friend, Mom, she said, we'll find her, Libby.

108
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: Her mother said, I'll put signs up all over the neighborhood.

109
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure someone will see her. I hope, so I

110
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: miss her already Before we put up signs. We should

111
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: eat some dinner. Her mother continued, I don't feel much

112
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: like eating. I know, Libby, but we still need to eat.

113
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: While I am preparing dinner, could you take this cardboard

114
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: down to the basement and put it in the recycling container. Okay, mom?

115
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: Libby slowly walked down the stairs to the basement, opened

116
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: the recycling container lid, put the cardboard in, and closed

117
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: the lid. As she turned around to walk back up

118
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: the stairs, she heard something. Something was making scratching noises.

119
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: What is that sound, she thought. She listened closely. It's

120
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: coming from the recycling container. I hope it isn't a mouse,

121
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: she thought. Walking over to see what it was, she

122
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: saw the container shake and move something big inside. That's

123
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: one big mouse. I have to be brave, really brave,

124
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: she thought. She then opened the top of the recycling container,

125
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: and as she did, out jumped Margarita. She had been

126
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: in the container all this time.

127
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: Mom, Mom, come look.

128
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: Rushing down the stairs, Libby's mother joined her in the basement.

129
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Well what do we have here, she said, with a

130
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: big smile of relief. Margarita was inside the recycling container,

131
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: and when I put more cardboard inside, she tried to

132
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: get out. When I opened the top of the container,

133
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: she did just that. She jumped straight onto the floor.

134
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: Isn't that strange and wonderful? Her mother said, What a cat?

135
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Why would she be inside the recycling container? Mom, what's

136
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: so interesting about cardboard and stuff? Let me see Libby's

137
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: mom looked inside the recycling container and said, Ah, here's

138
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: the problem. It's full of pizza boxes. Some probably still

139
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: smell like pizza and have crumbs and stuff on them.

140
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: She must have been hungry, smelled the pizza and jumped

141
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: right in. Margarita rubbed against Libby's leg, signaling she wanted

142
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: something to eat. It was time for pizza. What a

143
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: silly cat. And that is the end of our story.

144
00:12:52,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: Good Night, sleep tight, b B

145
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: B.
