1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: Hello friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. Do you

2
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: have a favorite season? I love bottom, I love to

3
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: see the trees leaves change colors, and I love how

4
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: it gets cooler in the evenings. I've also noticed a

5
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: lot of animals getting ready for winter. This episode is

6
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: all about one of those animals, Bushy's bravery. Mister Squirrel

7
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: was disappointed when he peeped his head out of his

8
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: hollow tree early one morning. Not one nut was to

9
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: be seen on the ground. Jack Frost did not come

10
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: last night. I see no nuts anywhere. It will take

11
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: a long time to get all we need from the tree,

12
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: I fear, he said to Missus Squirrel, who was standing

13
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: close beside him. But Jack Frost will come to our tree,

14
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: she said. He never fails. See there's missus Bushytail out early.

15
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: She seems to be looking around too. Perhaps Jack Frost

16
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: has shaken them down for her. Let's run down and

17
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: see away. Frisk Mister and Missus Squirrel as fast as

18
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: their legs could take them to see what Jack Frost

19
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: had done for their neighbor. But no, he had not

20
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: visited missus bushytails tree. She had looked all over the

21
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: ground and there wasn't a nut in sight. She couldn't

22
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: explain it herself. Let us wait until tomorrow morning, said

23
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: missus Squirrel. He will be sure to come tonight. Then

24
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: what fun Bushy and Frisky will have gathering them. They

25
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: will have to work hard to get enough for our

26
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: winter store. Boys love nuts too, she added with a sigh,

27
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: But we will wait. Morning came and frosty Jack had

28
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: been there in earnest for the nuts lay all over

29
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: the ground. Now to work, said father Squirrel. Come, Bushy

30
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: and Frisky. It was a busy day for mister Squirrel's family.

31
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: They well knew how many many nuts are needed for

32
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: the winter's store. And mister Squirrel kept telling Bushy and

33
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: Frisky that they would have to work hard and perhaps

34
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: until the sun went down that day. But alas for

35
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: those little squirrels, boy's love nuts too, missus Squirrel had said,

36
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: over and over again. And when a rustle was heard

37
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: in the bushes behind the trees, and the sound of

38
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: boys voices came loud and clear, these little workers had

39
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: to take to their heels and whisk up the hollow tree.

40
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: There they stayed, trembling with fear. In a few minutes Bushy,

41
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: a little braver than the rest, ventured to peep out

42
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: of a small hole. Frisky stood just behind him. Boys,

43
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: three of them, and they all have bags. Poor Bushy

44
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: and Frisky. If there was one thing that these little

45
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: squirrels loved to do more than another, it was to

46
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: gather nuts. And now chance was spoiled, for the boys

47
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: were really there and would be sure to take every

48
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: nut they could find. They're working hard, said Bushy. Will

49
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: they leave any for us, asked Friskie, not even daring

50
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: to peep out. Sh listen, Frisky, I heard one of

51
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: the boys say that there are some nuts under the

52
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: other tree. Two of the boys are going there. Now

53
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: it's missus Bushytail's tree. But look, Frisky, they have left

54
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: two of the bags where Bushy. One of the boys

55
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: is sitting on one of them. He is cracking nuts,

56
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: I think, and the other bag, the other one, is

57
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: close by our tree. And before anyone could say a word,

58
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Bushy was out of the hole, down the tree and

59
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: close to the big bag. Missus Squirrel tried to call

60
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: him back, but it was of no use. Up and

61
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: down the bag, he ran first to the top and

62
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: then to the sides, but he could not get in

63
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the bag tied tight, but Bushy's teeth were sharp. Dear Dear,

64
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: said his mother. Here come the boy's back, and they

65
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: will surely see Bushy. Dear Dear Bushy caught sight of

66
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: the boys coming toward the tree for their bags, and

67
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: with a whisk and a scamper, he was up the

68
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: tree again and into his hole in no time. Dear

69
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: dear Bushy said his mother, What a fright you gave

70
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: us all. Just see those boys. There's no telling what

71
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: would have happened if they had seen you. Mister Squirrel's

72
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: family watched the boys pick up their bags, throw them

73
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: over their shoulders, and go away. Why Tom, look at

74
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: your bag, said one of the boys. It has a

75
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: hole in it. You must have lost so many nuts

76
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: along the way a hole, asked Tom in surprise, as

77
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: he lifted the bag from his shoulder. So it has,

78
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: and a pretty big one too. I wonder how it

79
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: came there. It wasn't there when I started. The boys

80
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: were gone, and mister Squirrel's family ventured out once more.

81
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: It's of no use, I fear, began missus Squirrel. Those

82
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: boys were good workers, and dear me, here are nuts

83
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: sprinkled all along the road. What does it mean, asked

84
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: missus Squirrel. It is strange, said mister Squirrel. I really

85
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: thought those boys had found them all. But perhaps boys

86
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: eyes are not as sharp as we think. Bushy kept

87
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: on gathering the nuts and smiling to himself. How sly

88
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: he was not one of the family seemed to guess

89
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: the truth. It was only when he and Frisky were

90
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: going to bed that night that Frisky dared to whisper, Bushy,

91
00:09:51,280 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: did you put that hole in that bag? Now, before

92
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: we say goodbye, I would like to share with you

93
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: a short poem about squirrels called nut gatherers. I hope

94
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: the next time you are out you might look around

95
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: and see are there any squirrels gathering nuts for the winter?

96
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: It's getting colder. I'm sure they must be very busy.

97
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: Nut gatherers hark, how they chatter down the dusk road.

98
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: See them come, patter, each with his load. What have

99
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: you sought, then, happy little band? What have you brought then?

100
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Each in his hand? No need to ask it, no

101
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: need to tell. In bag and in basket your nuts

102
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: show well, Nuts from the wild wood, sweet nuts to eat,

103
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: sweetest in childhood when life is sweet. There they go Potter,

104
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: each with his load. Hark, how they chatter down the

105
00:11:27,640 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: dusk road. Good night, sleep tight, go
