1
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. This story

2
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: is about a baker named Willie. Willi loves to bake

3
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: and Mondays are his favorite day of the week. When

4
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: Willy is on his way to work, he meets lots

5
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: of his friends and talks to them as they head

6
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: on their way to work. At the end of the day,

7
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: as Willy is tidying up his phone rings and one

8
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: of his friends needs help, will Willy be able to

9
00:00:51,280 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: help them, Willie bakes a birthday cake. The sun had

10
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: just started to rise and Willie was up whistling and

11
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: hopping about, getting ready to start his day. Willie loved Mondays.

12
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: He loved Mondays more than any day of the week,

13
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: especially Saturdays and Sundays, which seemed strange to some people

14
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: because the weekend was for them a time to rest,

15
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: play and the time that they had the most fun,

16
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: but not Willie. In fact, Willie got so excited when

17
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night came he had to work super hard to

18
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: get to sleep. He would try to meditate, do deep

19
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: breathing exercises, and listen to stories for hours just so

20
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: he could calm down enough to have a good night's sleep.

21
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Willie was a baker, and he loved baking bread more

22
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: than anything else in the world. It's all he had

23
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: ever wanted to do, and now that he had his

24
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: very own bakery, he was more excited about baking than ever.

25
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Willie prepared his breakfast of blueberries, strawberries, and oatmeal and

26
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: sat at his kitchen table, trying to eat as slowly

27
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: as he could. On Mondays, he often had a bad

28
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: habit of eating too quickly, which his friend, doctor Kelly,

29
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: told him was not a good habit to have. This way,

30
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: he could also better appreciate the fresh fruit that he

31
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: was eating. Willie loved strawberries, and he would have them

32
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: for breakfast, at lunch with his salad, and for dessert

33
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: at supper. After he finished his breakfast and washed his dishes,

34
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: got his shoes on, hold on his reflective jacket as

35
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: it was still dark outside, left his small house and

36
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: started skipping to work On Mondays, Willie was so happy

37
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: he didn't walk. He skipped. This worked out well for

38
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: him because his legs were a little short, so skipping

39
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: not only made him happy, it made him faster. Though

40
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: it was very early in the morning, Willie would often

41
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: meet people on the way to their work, and most

42
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: people were very friendly and would say hello. Maybe they

43
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: loved Mondays too. Good morning, Willie, Teresa said as she

44
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: was waiting for her boss. Good morning, Teresa, be sure

45
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: to drop by later for some croissants, replied Willie. I'll

46
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: be there right after work, she said with a smile.

47
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: As Willie continued on his way, he met Thomas, one

48
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: of his favorite customers. I'll be by your shop a

49
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: bit later to get some buns and things, Thomas said.

50
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: I'll see you, then, replied Willie as he kept on

51
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: skipping on the sidewalk towards his bakery. As he turned

52
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: the corner to the street that his bakery was on,

53
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: he met his good friend Esther, who was a police officer.

54
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, Esther, he said, you are up early this morning.

55
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm actually just on my way home, she replied. But

56
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: I will be by later to get some treats and

57
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: maybe some of your delicious chocolate bread. It will be

58
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: fresh out of the oven soon, Willie said as he

59
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: kept on skipping, and finally, just before he arrived at

60
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: his shop, he met Freya, who was just opening her

61
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: coffee shop. Praya and Willie got along really well because

62
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: they both had a lot in common, and what better

63
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: way to enjoy your baked bread and treats than with

64
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: a hot drink. Good morning, Willy, it's a super day,

65
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: Freya said with a big smile. Good morning, Praya, it

66
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: certainly is. I'll bring you over a cup of hot

67
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: cocoa later. Can you save me some of your delicious

68
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: cinnamon buns, she asked? I sure can. I'll talk to

69
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: you later. Have a great morning, Willy said as he

70
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: walked into his bakery and started his day's work. Before

71
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: he starts to make bread, Willie checks his task list

72
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: and up first is the cleaning of all the surfaces

73
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: of his kitchen. It's his least favorite part of the day,

74
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: but it's important to keep his kitchen clean. Then Willie

75
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: prepares the croissant dough. It sometimes seems to Willy that

76
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: he spends his entire day around dough. He needs it,

77
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: smells it, touches it, and tastes it, and sometimes he

78
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: even talks to it. He thinks that, just like when

79
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: you talk to plants, they become happier, talking to the

80
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: dough makes the bread taste better. Dough is one of

81
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: Willy's best friends. After the croissants. He needs to make

82
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: loaves and loaves of all kinds of bread. There is

83
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: white bread, whole wheat bread, multi grain, and even chocolate

84
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: and banana bread. Then Willi prepares his treats. His favorite

85
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: is cinnamon rolls, but he also makes lemon poppyseed muffins, brownies,

86
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,559
Speaker 1: and chocolate chip cookies. A few hours later, his work

87
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: for the morning was done, and just before he opened

88
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: the door to welcome his customers, Freya came in with

89
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: a hot cocoa and they sat, had a cinnamon roll

90
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: for a snack and chatted a few moments before their

91
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: customers arrived. Willy's bakery was very popular with people, not

92
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: just in his neighborhood, but all around the city. People

93
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: would come from far and wide to buy a loaf

94
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: of his bread. This, of course made Willy very happy.

95
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: The day went by quickly with customers lining up to

96
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: buy his bread and tasty baked goods. The lineups were

97
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: sometimes long, but people were patient, and Willie was so

98
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: happy that he couldn't help but smile. Esther came and

99
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: bought a loaf of chocolate bread and some muffins. Thomas

100
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: came and bought some buns, a couple loaves of bread,

101
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: and a few cinnamon rolls, and at the end of

102
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: the day, Teresa came by to get her croissants, which

103
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Willie had set aside for her. Willie's day was just

104
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: about finished. After cleaning up and preparing for tomorrow. All

105
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: that was left was taking any leftover bread to a

106
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: local charity nearby so that those who needed help could

107
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: enjoy his tasty and nutritious bread. Just as he was

108
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: about to be finished, his phone rang Hello. This is

109
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: Willy's Bakery. Willy speaking. Hi Willie. This is Chantale. Hi Chantelle.

110
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: How have you been, he asked. Chantelle and Willie went

111
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: to school together, but they haven't had a chance to

112
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: talk in a long long time. I've been very well.

113
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. I am afraid I have a favor to ask.

114
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: I baked a cake for my son, Ewan's birthday, and well,

115
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: I thought it turned out okay, but when I just

116
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: checked it, it was as flat as a pancake. I

117
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: don't know what happened. I guess I'm not as good

118
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: of a baker as I thought. She said sadly. Oh

119
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: that's too bad. How can I help? I know it's

120
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: late but is it possible for you to prepare a

121
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: cake at the last minute. I know you don't sell

122
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: cakes in your shop, or I would have been there already.

123
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: But do you think you could try to make one

124
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: with such short notice? She asked? Sure, I'll try to

125
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: make something for Youwan's birthday. I don't make cakes often,

126
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm afraid, and with what little time we have, it

127
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: will be a simple one. But I hope he likes it.

128
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: Thank you, Willy. I am sure he will love it.

129
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: After they said their goodbyes, Willie started working immediately, gathering

130
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: and preparing all the ingredients. He had flour, eggs, butter, sugar, salt,

131
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: and some milk. He found some candy sprinkles, and of

132
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: course some chocolate for the frosting. But as Willy started mixing,

133
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: he realized he was missing an ingredient. Oh no, he

134
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: said out loud. He had run out of baking powder.

135
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Without baking powder, he couldn't bake the cake. How could

136
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: I have run out? He thought? Then he glanced at

137
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: his task list that he had on the kitchen wall.

138
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: The last item on the list was to buy baking powder. Oh,

139
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: he forgot. What was he going to do? He couldn't

140
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: leave his shop, especially not with all the ingredients ready

141
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: to be mixed. After a few moments, he realized what

142
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: he needed to do. He would do exactly what Chantale

143
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: did when she had a big problem, ask a friend

144
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: for help. So Willy quickly called Esther. Hello, Esther, this

145
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: is Willie. I'm in a bit of a pickle and

146
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: could use your help. Hi, Willie, what's up. I've run

147
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: out of baking powder and I need to bake a

148
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: cake for a birthday this evening. I can't leave the shop,

149
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: and well, I really hope to make his birthday a

150
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: special one. Well, I have some baking powder here at

151
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: my house. I could give you. How about a hop

152
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: on my bike and take it over to you, could you?

153
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: He asked? Of course, anything for a friend, she replied.

154
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Esther arrived a short time later, and Willie immediately mixed

155
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,359
