1 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: Hello, Friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. The story 2 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: is about a baker named Willie. Willi loves to bake 3 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: and Mondays are his favorite day of the week. When 4 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: Willy is on his way to work, he meets lots 5 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: of his friends and talks to them as they head 6 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: on their way to work. At the end of the day, 7 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: as Willy is tidying up his phone rings and one 8 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: of his friends needs help, will Willy be able to 9 00:00:51,240 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: help them, Willie bakes a birthday cake. The sun had 10 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: just started to rise and Willie was up whistling and 11 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: hopping about, getting ready. 12 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 2: To start his day. 13 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: Willie loved Mondays. He loved Mondays more than any day 14 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: of the week, especially Saturdays and Sundays, which seemed strange 15 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: to some people because the weekend was for them a 16 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: time to rest, play and the time that they had 17 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: the most fun, but not Willie. In fact, Willie got 18 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: so excited when Sunday night came he had to work. 19 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 2: Super hard to get to sleep. 20 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: He would try to meditate, do deep breathing exercises, and 21 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: listen to stories for hours just so he could calm 22 00:01:53,760 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: down enough to have a good night's sleep. Willie was baker, 23 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: and he loved baking bread more than anything. 24 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: Else in the world. 25 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: It's all he had ever wanted to do, and now 26 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: that he had his very own bakery, he was more 27 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: excited about baking than ever. Willie prepared his breakfast of blueberries, strawberries, 28 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: and oatmeal and sat at his kitchen table, trying to 29 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: eat as slowly as he could. On Mondays, he often 30 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: had a bad habit of eating too quickly, which his friend, 31 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: doctor Kelly, told him was not a. 32 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: Good habit to have. 33 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: This way, he could also better appreciate the fresh fruit 34 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: that he was eating. Willie loved strawberries, and he would 35 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: have them for breakfast, at lunch with his salad, and 36 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: for dessert at supper. After he finished his breakfast and 37 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: washed his dishes, got his shoes on, hold on his 38 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: reflective jacket as it was still dark outside, left his 39 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: small house and started skipping to work. 40 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: On Mondays, Willie was so happy he didn't walk. He skipped. 41 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: This worked out well for him because his legs were 42 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: a little short, so skipping not only made him happy, 43 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: it made him faster. Though it was very early in 44 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: the morning, Willie would often meet people on the way 45 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: to their work, and most people were very friendly and 46 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: would say hello. Maybe they loved Mondays too. Good morning, Willie, 47 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Teresa said as she was waiting for her boss. Good morning, Teresa, 48 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: be sure to drop by later for some croissants. 49 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: Replied Willie. 50 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: I'll be there right after work, she said with a smile. 51 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: As Willie continued on his way, he met Thomas, one 52 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: of his favorite customers. I'll be by your shop a 53 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: bit later to get some buns and things, Thomas said. 54 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: I'll see you, then, replied Willie as he kept on 55 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: skipping on the sidewalk towards his bakery. As he turned 56 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: the corner to the street that his bakery was on, 57 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: he met his good friend Esther, who was a police officer. 58 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: Good morning, Esther, he said, you are up early this morning. 59 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm actually just on my way home, she replied. But 60 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: I will be by later to get some treats and 61 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: maybe some of your delicious chocolate bread. It will be 62 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: fresh out of the oven soon, Willie said as he 63 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: kept on skipping, and finally, just before he arrived at 64 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: his shop, he met Freya, who was just opening her 65 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: coffee shop. Praya and Willie got along really well because 66 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: they both had a lot in common, and what better 67 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: way to enjoy your baked bread and treats than with 68 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: a hot drink. Good morning, Willy, it's a super day, 69 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: Reraya said with a big smile. Good morning, Freya, it 70 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: certainly is. I'll bring you over a cup of hot 71 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: cocoa later. Can you save me some of your delicious. 72 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: Cinnamon buns, she asked? I sure can. I'll talk to 73 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 2: you later. 74 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 1: Have a great morning, Willy said as he walked into 75 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: his bakery and started his day's work. Before he starts 76 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: to make bread, Willie checks his task list and up 77 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: first is the cleaning of all the surfaces of his kitchen. 78 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: It's his least favorite part of the day, but it's. 79 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: Important to keep his kitchen clean. Then Willie prepares the 80 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: croissant dough. It sometimes seems to Willy that he spends 81 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: his entire day around dough. He needs it, smells it, 82 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: touches it, and tastes it, and sometimes he even talks 83 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: to it. He thinks that, just like when you talk 84 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: to plants, they become happier, talking to the dough makes 85 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: the bread taste better. Dough is one of Willy's best friends. 86 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: After the croissants. He needs to make loaves and loaves 87 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: of all kinds of bread. There is white bread, whole 88 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: wheat bread, multi grain, and even chocolate and banana bread. 89 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: Then Willi prepares his treats. His favorite is cinnamon rolls, 90 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: but he also makes lemon poppyseed muffins, brownies, and chocolate 91 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: chip cookies. A few hours later, his work for the 92 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 1: morning was done, and just before he opened the door 93 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: to welcome his customers, Freya came in with a hot 94 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: cocoa and they sat, had a cinnamon roll for a 95 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: snack and chatted a few moments before their customers arrived. 96 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Willy's bakery was very popular with people, not just in 97 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: his neighborhood, but all around the city. 98 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: People would come from far and. 99 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: Wide to buy a loaf of his bread. This, of 100 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: course made Willy very happy. The day went by quickly 101 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: with customers lining up to buy his bread and tasty 102 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: baked goods. The lineups were sometimes long, but people were patient, 103 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: and Willie was so happy that he couldn't help but smile. 104 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: Esther came and bought a loaf of chocolate bread and 105 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: some muffins. Thomas came and bought some buns, a couple 106 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: loaves of bread, and a few cinnamon rolls, and at 107 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: the end of the day, Teresa came by to get 108 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: her croissants, which Willie had set aside for her. Willie's 109 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: day was just about finished. After cleaning up and preparing 110 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: for tomorrow. All that was left was taking any leftover 111 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: bread to a local charity nearby so that those who 112 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: needed help could enjoy his tasty and nutritious bread. 113 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: Just as he was about to be finished, his phone. 114 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: Rang, hullo, this is Willy's Bakery. Willy speaking Hi Willie. 115 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: This is Chantale. Hi Chantelle. How have you been, he asked. 116 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: Chantelle and Willie went to school together, but they haven't 117 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: had a chance to talk in a long long time. 118 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: I've been very well. Thank you. 119 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: I am afraid I have a favor to ask. 120 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: I baked a cake. 121 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: For my son, Ewan's birthday, and well, I thought it 122 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: turned out okay, but when I just checked it, it 123 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: was as flat as a pancake. I don't know what happened. 124 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: I guess I'm not as good of a baker as 125 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: I thought. She said sadly. 126 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 2: Oh that's too bad. 127 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: How can I help? I know it's late, but is 128 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: it possible for you to prepare a cake at the 129 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: last minute. I know you don't sell cakes in your shop, 130 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: or I would have been there already. But do you 131 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: think you could try to make one with such short notice? 132 00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: She asked? 133 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: Sure, I'll try to make something for Youwan's birthday. I 134 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: don't make cakes often, I'm afraid, and with what little 135 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: time we have, it will be a simple one. But 136 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: I hope he likes it. Thank you, Willy. I am 137 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: sure he will love it. After they said their goodbyes, 138 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Willie started working immediately, gathering and preparing all the ingredients. 139 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: He had flour, eggs, butter, sugar, salt, and some milk. 140 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: He found some candy sprinkles, and of course, some chocolate 141 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: for the frosting. But as Willy started mixing, he realized 142 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: he was missing an ingredient. Oh no, he said out loud. 143 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: He had run out of baking powder. Without baking powder, 144 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: he couldn't. 145 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: Bake the cake. How could I have run out? 146 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: He thought? Then he glanced at his task list that 147 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: he had on the kitchen wall. The last item on 148 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: the list was to buy baking powder. Oh, he forgot. 149 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: What was he going to do. He couldn't leave his shop, 150 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: especially not with all the ingredients ready to be mixed. 151 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: After a few moments, he realized what he needed to do. 152 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: He would do exactly what Chantelle did when she had 153 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: a big problem, ask a friend for help. So Willie 154 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: quickly called Esther. Hello, Esther, this is Willie. I'm in 155 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: a bit of a pickle and could use your help. Hi, Willie, 156 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: what's up. I've run out of baking powder and I 157 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: need to bake a cake for a birthday this evening. 158 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: I can't leave the shop, and well, I really hope 159 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: to make his birthday a special one. Well, I have 160 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: some baking powder here at my house. I could give you. 161 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: How about a hop on my bike and take it 162 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: over to you, could you? He asked? Of course, anything 163 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: for a friend, she replied. 164 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: Esther arrived a short time later, and Willie immediately mixed 165 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: the final ingredients together and put the cake in the oven. Phew, 166 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: thank you, Esther, you are a birthday cake. Savor my pleasure, Willie. 167 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: Just make sure you save me some of that chocolate 168 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: bread next week, she said with a laugh. After the 169 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: cake cooled, Willie decorated the cake with chocolate frosting and 170 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: candy sprinkles, and stood back to examine his work.

When Willie was 173 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: home eating his dinner, his phone dinged was a message 174 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: from Chantelle with a picture of her son Ewan, smiling 175 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. 176 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: The birthday party was a huge success. With a big 177 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: smile on his face, Willie had a soapy bath, brushed 178 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: his teeth, and went to bed with his favorite stuffed toy. 179 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: What a wonderful Monday it was, he thought, And that's 180 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: the end of our story. Good night, sleep tight.
