In this story, Bernice wakes up 21 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: and she is not feeling well. Her father calls her 22 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: to let her know that her breakfast is ready, but 23 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: Bernice doesn't get up. When he comes into her room, 24 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: she tells him she's not feeling well. Bernice gets a cold. 25 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: Bernice wakes up feeling cold and shivery. She sneezes and wheezes, coughs, 26 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: and does not feel like getting out of bed. First, 27 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: her alarm goes off and she manages to press snooze. 28 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: Then her father calls her to tell her that her 29 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: honeycakes are ready for breakfast, and she doesn't reply. Nothing 30 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: makes her want to come out from under the covers, 31 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: not even honeycakes. Bernice, your breakfast is ready. You better 32 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: hurry up or you will be late for school and 33 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: you must have something to eat before you leave. Her 34 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: papa said as he came into her room. Papa, I 35 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 1: don't think I feel good, she said, as she slowly 36 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: first peeked from under the covers and then slowly sat 37 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: up in her bed. Her eyes were still partially closed 38 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: and red. Oh dear, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? 39 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: My head hurts and my throat is sore, and I 40 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: feel tired. Okay, let me first get some tissue to 41 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: wipe all that stuff off your nose, and I'll have 42 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: a look at you, Papa said with concern. There, your 43 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: nose looks better. How about trying to blow into the tissue, 44 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: he asked, while holding the tissue to her big brown nose. 45 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: I sho Bernie sneezed into the tissue that Papa was holding. Yeah, 46 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: she moaned. Well, well, you certainly seem to have some sniffles. 47 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: My nose feels stuffed too, said Bernice, sounding like she 48 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: was talking while plugging her nose. Let me check your temperature, 49 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: Papa said, while putting the thermometer in her ear. Well, you 50 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: don't have much of a fever, but with the way 51 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you look and sound, I guess you have a bad cold. 52 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: It's best if you stay home from school today. Really 53 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: do I have to again? We have library period today, 54 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: Bernice said weakly. It's best to rest when you are 55 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: sick so your body can give all its energy to 56 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: helping you feel better again. Why don't you close your 57 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: eyes and try to go back to sleep. I'll go 58 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: and cancel my calls for the day and tell your 59 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: teachers that you are home sick. After a little while, 60 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: I'll come up and check on you, Papa said as 61 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: he tucked Bernice in under the covers. Bernice closes her eyes, 62 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: pulls the covers in tight, and tries to sleep. But 63 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: she just tosses and turns and just can't seem to 64 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: get comfy. She lets out another sneeze. Achew. She thought, 65 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: why did I have to be sick yet again? And 66 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: of course I had to get sick on a Friday. 67 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Not only is Friday my favorite day because it's library Day, 68 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: but it's also the day before Saturday when we all 69 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: go to the market and eat fresh sweets. Now I'm 70 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: going to miss all the stories and books at our 71 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: library and missus Quill introduces us to She grumbled to herself. Hmm, 72 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: not fair, Bernie says as she tries to get comfortable 73 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: yet again. A short time later, her papa comes in 74 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: the room with some warm honey lemon tea and sits 75 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: down beside her on her bed. I brought you some 76 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: yummy tea. Try to have a drink when you are sick. 77 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: It's important to always drink lots of liquids. Bernie sits 78 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: up to have a sip. Thank you. Why did I 79 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: have to get sick, Papa. We all get sick from 80 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: time to time, but I seem to get sick more 81 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: than anyone else. None of the other kids at school 82 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: seemed to get sick, and they don't miss as much 83 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: school as I do. Everyone catches a cold from time 84 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: to time, little bear. Maybe because you have so many 85 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: friends you don't notice when they are home from school. 86 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Most kids get colds or the flu many many times 87 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: in a year, especially this time of year, when we 88 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: are inside more in school, it's easier to catch a virus. 89 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel so good, Bernice moaned. I'm sorry. The 90 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: way you are feeling right now is because your body 91 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: is telling the viruses to go away. But I get boogers, Papa, 92 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: How does that tell the virus to go away? That 93 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: yucky stuff traps the virus, and when you blow your 94 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: nose clears some of it away. Don't worry, you'll be 95 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: better in a day or two. I hope so, because 96 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't like boogers. Have another drink of tea. Bernice 97 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: takes a great big slurp. Can you stay with me 98 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: for a while so I won't be so lonely? She asks? 99 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: Of course, little bear, why don't you scoot over a 100 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: little bit and I'll tell you a story. We'll see 101 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: if you can get comfy enough for a short nap. 102 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: Thank you, Papa. Once upon a time, in a world 103 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: full of magic and fun, there lived a brave little 104 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: bear named Booboo. She lived in a large castle at 105 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: the edge of a mystical forest. And in this forest 106 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: there were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all manner of insects, 107 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: birds and animals. It was a wonderful place. Though Booboo 108 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: was the smallest in her family, that didn't stop her 109 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: from trying to do all the things that her older brothers, 110 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: Barney and Barry could do. And in fact, she tried 111 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: so hard that she could do many things better, but 112 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: her brothers would never admit it. Though. One day she 113 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: wasn't feeling very well, and her family left her alone 114 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: in the castle to rest with nanabear to take care 115 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: of her. They were going to the market and promised 116 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: to bring her back some sweet honeycombs when they returned. 117 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: Later in the afternoon, as she was sleeping, she was 118 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: awoken with what sounded like a large roar, and she 119 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: got out of bed and ran to her tower window. 120 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: She looked below, and she saw a large, angry looking 121 00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: dragon scaring a small herd of unicorns with fire coming 122 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: out of his nostrils. This dragon was giving the animals 123 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: of the forest an awful fright. Booboo, being perhaps a 124 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: little too brave, ran down the many stairs from her 125 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: room to the main door and went outside to tell 126 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: the dragon to stop being so scary. Why are you 127 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: being so mean to all the animals? Fire breathing dragon, 128 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: she asked. The dragon looked to the left and to 129 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: the right, but couldn't see where the voice was coming from. 130 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm down here, angry dragon, Why are you scaring all 131 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: the animals? And the dragon looked way down until he 132 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: saw little bear at his feet. I don't mean to 133 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: scare the animals, but I am angry and in a 134 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: bad mood, he replied. But why are you so angry 135 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: and in a bad mood? Because whenever I get a cold, 136 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: I sneeze, and do you know what happens when I sneeze? 137 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: Boogers come out no, dragons don't get boogers. Instead, I 138 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: sneeze out fire and this scares everyone. So I am 139 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: angry at my silly cold and in a bad mood 140 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: because everyone is scared of me and I have no friends. 141 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Though the dragon was big and looked kind of scary, 142 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: Booboo took a great, big breath, looked up at him, 143 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: and said, I'm not scared of you, and I can 144 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: be your friend if you like. My name is Booboo, 145 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: What is yours? My name is Kai Kai. The dragon replied, well, 146 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Kai Kai. My nana often makes me honey lemon tea 147 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: whenever I have a cold, and will sometimes sit with 148 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: me and tell me stories. Would you like me to 149 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: make you some tea and tell you a story? Oh, 150 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: that would be very kind of you, Kai Kai said, 151 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: with a sniffle and a yawn. So Booboo went off 152 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: to make Kai Kai some fresh warm honey lemon tea 153 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: and came back and he finished it in a big slurp, 154 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: and Booboo started to tell him a story Once upon 155 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: a time in a land far far away, and at 156 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: that both Kai Kai and Bernice fell fast asleep, And 157 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: that's the end of our story. Good night sleep tight,
