1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Hello friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. Before we

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: continue with our story, we have a short message for

00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: grown ups. We feel that giving our kids the freedom

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: to choose what they want to learn helps to feed

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: their curiosity, helps build their autonomy and confidence, and instills

6
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: a love of learning. Out School offers an incredible variety

00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,480

Speaker 1: much more. There's something for everyone. Out School has helped

20
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: When we were getting ready to go back to school

21
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: in September, I shared a chapter of Anne of Green

22
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Gables with you about a scene in the classroom between

23
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: Anne and Gilbert. I have been asked to share another

24
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: part of Anne of green Gables by Kieran, and I

25
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: have chosen one of the first chapters in this book.

26
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: I love these books and have read them several times,

27
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: as well as watching the original movies and the new series.

28
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: And with an e excerpt from chapter two, Matthew Cuthbert

29
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: is surprised. I suppose you are, mister Matthew Cuthbert of

30
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: green Gables, She said, in a peculiarly clear, sweet voice.

31
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm very glad to see you. I was beginning to

32
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: be afraid you weren't coming for me, and I was

33
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: imagining all the things that might have happened to prevent you.

34
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: I had made up my mind that if you didn't

35
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: come for me tonight, I'd go down the track to

36
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: that big wild cherry tree at the bend and climb

37
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: up into it to stay all night. I wouldn't be

38
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: a bit afraid, and it would be lovely to sleep

39
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: in a wild cherry tree, all white with blooms in

40
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the moonshine, don't you think? Could you imagine you were

41
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: dwelling in marble halls? Couldn't you? And I was quite

42
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: sure you would come for me in the morning if

43
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: you didn't tonight. Matthew had taken the scrawny little hand

44
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: awkwardly in his Then and there he decided what to do.

45
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: He could not tell this child with the glowing eyes

46
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: that there had been a mistake. He would take her

47
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: home and let Marilla do that. She couldn't be left

48
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: a bright river anyhow, no matter what mistake had been made,

49
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: so all questions and explanations might as well be deferred

50
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: until he was safely back at green Gables. Sorry I

51
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: was late, he said, shyly. Come along. The horse is

52
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: over in the yard. Give me your bag. Oh, I

53
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: can carry it, the child responded cheerfully. It isn't heavy.

54
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: I've got all my worldly goods in it. But it

55
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: isn't heavy. And if it isn't carried in just a

56
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: certain way, the handle pulls out, so I'd better keep

57
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: it because I know the exact knack of it. It's

58
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: an extremely old carpet bag. Oh, I'm very glad you've come,

59
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: even if it would have been nice to sleep in

60
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: a wild cherry tree. We've got a long drive ahead

61
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: of us, don't we, missus, Spencer said, it was eight miles.

62
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad because I love driving. Oh, it seems so

63
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: wonderful that I am going to live with you and

64
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: belong to you. I've never belonged to anybody, not really.

65
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: With this, Matthew's companions stopped talking, partly because she was

66
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: out of breath and partly because they had reached the buggy.

67
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: Not another word did she say until they had left

68
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: the village and were driving down a steep little hill,

69
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 1: the road, part of which had been cut so deeply

70
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: into the soft soil that the banks fringed with blooming

71
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: wild cherry trees and slim white branches were several feet

72
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: above their heads. The child put out her hand and

73
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: broke off a branch of wild plum that brushed against

74
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: the side of the buggy. Isn't that beautiful? What did

75
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: that tree leaning out from the bank, all white and lacy,

76
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: make you think of? She asked. Well, now, I don't know,

77
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: said Matthew. Why a bride, of course, a bride all

78
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,239
Speaker 1: in white with a lovely misty veil. I've never seen,

79
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: but I can imagine what she would look like. I

80
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: don't ever expect to be a bride myself. I'm so homely,

81
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: nobody will ever want to marry me. But I do

82
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: hope that someday I shall have a white dress. That

83
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: is my highest ideal of earthly bliss. I just love

84
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: pretty clothes, and I've never had a pretty dress in

85
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: my life that I can remember. But of course it's

86
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: all the more to look forward to, isn't it, And

87
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: then I can imagine that I'm dressed gorgeously. I wasn't

88
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: a bit sick coming over on the boat. Neither was

89
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: missus Spencer, although she generally is. She said she hadn't

90
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: had time to get sick watching to see that I

91
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: didn't fall overboard. She said she never saw the bead

92
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: of me for prowling about, but if it kept her

93
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: from getting seasick, it's a mercy. I did prowl, isn't it.

94
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: And I wanted to see everything, everything that was on

95
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: that boat, because I didn't know whether i'd ever have

96
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: another opportunity. Oh, there are a lot more cherry trees

97
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: all in bloom. This island is the bloomiest place. I

98
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: just love it already, and I'm so glad I'm going

99
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: to live here. I've always heard that Prince Edward Island

100
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: was the prettiest place in the world, and I used

101
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: to imagine I was living here, but I never really

102
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: expected I would. It's delightful when your imaginations come true,

103
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: isn't it? But those red roads are so funny. When

104
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: we got into the train at Charlottetown and the red

105
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: roads began to flash past, I asked missus Spencer what

106
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: made them red? And she said she didn't know, and

107
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: for pity's sake, not to ask her any more questions,

108
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: she said, I must have asked her a thousand already.

109
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: I suppose I had too. But how are you going

110
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: to find out about things if you don't ask questions?

111
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: And what does make the roads read? Well? Now? I

112
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: don't know, said Matthew. Well that is one of the

113
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: things to find out sometime, isn't it splendid to think

114
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: of all the things there are to find out about?

115
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: It just makes me feel glad to be alive. It's

116
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting

117
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: if we knew all about everything, would it. There'd be

118
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: no scope for imagination, then, would there? But am I

119
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: talking too much? People always tell me I do? Would

120
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: you rather I didn't talk? If you say so I'll stop.

121
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: I can stop when I make up my mind to it,

122
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: Although it's difficult. Matthew, much to his own surprise, was

123
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: enjoying himself. Like most quiet folks, he liked talkative people

124
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: when they were willing to do the talking themselves, and

125
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: did not expect him to keep up his end of it.

126
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: But he had never expected to enjoy the company of

127
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: a little girl. Women were bad enough in all conscience,

128
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: but little girls were worse. He didn't like the way

129
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: they had of sneaking past him timidly with sideways glances,

130
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: as if they expected him to gobble them up at

131
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: a mouthful if they ventured to say a word. This

132
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: was the avonlea type of well bred little girl, but

133
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: this freckled girl was very different, and although he found

134
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: it rather difficult for his slower intelligence to keep up

135
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: with her brisk mental processes, he thought that he kind

136
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: of liked her chatter. So he said, as shyly as usual, Oh,

137
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: you can talk as much as you like. I don't mind. Oh,

138
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I know you and I are going

139
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: to get along together. Fine. It's such a relief to

140
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: talk when one wants to and not be told that

141
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: children should be seen and not heard. I've had that

142
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: said to me a million times if I had once,

143
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: and people laugh at me because I use big words.

144
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: But if you have big ideas, you have to use

145
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: big words to express them, haven't you. Well, now that

146
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: seems reasonable, said Matthew. Dreams don't often come true, do they.

147
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be nice if they did? But just now

148
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: I feel pretty near perfectly happy. I can't feel exactly

149
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: perfectly happy, because well, what color would you call this?

150
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: She twitched one of her long, glossy braids over her

151
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: thin shoulder and held it up before Matthew's eyes. Matthew

152
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: was not used to deciding on the tint of ladies' tresses,

153
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: but in this case there couldn't be much doubt. It's red,

154
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: ain't it? He said. The girl let the braid drop

155
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: back with a sigh that seemed to come from her toes,

156
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: and to exhale forth all the sorrows of the ages. Yes,

157
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: it's red, she said, sadly. Now you can see why

158
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: I can't be perfectly happy. Nobody could who had red hair.

159
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't mind the other things so much, the freckles

160
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: and the green eyes and my skinniness. I can imagine

161
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: them away. I can imagine that I have a beautiful

162
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: rose leaf complexion and lovely starry violet eyes. But I

163
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: cannot imagine that red hair away. Oh, mister Cuthbert, Oh,

164
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: mister Cuthbert, Oh, mister Cothbert. They had rounded a curve

165
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: in the road and found themselves in the avenue. The avenue,

166
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: so called by the New Bridge people, was a stretch

167
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: of road four or five hundred yards long, completely arched

168
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: over with huge, wide, spreading apple trees planted years ago

169
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: by an eccentric old farmer. Overhead was one long canopy

170
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: of snowy, fragrant bloom. Below the boughs, the air was

171
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: full of a purple twilight, and far ahead, a glimpse

172
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: of painted sunset sky shone like a great rose window

173
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: at the end of a cathedral aisle. Its beauty seemed

174
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: to strike the child. She leaned back in the buggy,

175
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: her thin hands clasped before her, her face lifted rapturously

176
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: to the white splendor above. Even when they had passed

177
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: out and were driving down the long slope to Newbridge,

178
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: she never moved or spoke still. With wrapt face, she

179
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: gazed afar into the sunset west, with eyes that saw

180
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: visions trooping splendidly across that glowing background through Newbridge, a

181
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: bustling little village where dogs barked at them and small

182
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: boys hooted, and curious faces peered from the windows. They

183
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: drove still in silence, when three more miles had dropped

184
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: away behind them. The child had not spoken. She could

185
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: keep silence, It was evident as energetically as she could talk.

186
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: I guess you're feeling pretty tired and hungry, Matthew ventured,

187
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: at last, accounting for her long visitation of quietness with

188
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: the only reason he could think of. But we haven't

189
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: very far to go now, only another mile. She came

190
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: out of her reverie with a deep sigh and looked

191
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: at him with the dreamy gaze of a soul that

192
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: had been wandering afar star led. Oh, mister Cothbert, she

193
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: said that place we came through, that white place? What

194
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: was it? Well, now you must mean the avenue, said Matthew,

195
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: after a few moments profound reflection. It is kind of

196
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: a pretty place. Pretty. Oh, pretty doesn't seem the right

197
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: word to use, nor beautiful either. They don't oh, far enough. Oh,

198
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: it was wonderful, wonderful. It's the first thing I ever

199
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: saw that couldn't be improved upon by imagination. It just

200
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: satisfied me. Here, he put one hand on her chest.

201
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: When they had driven up the further hill and around

202
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: a corner, Matthew said, we're pretty near home. Now, that's

203
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: green gables over. Oh, don't tell me, she interrupted, breathlessly,

204
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: catching at his partially raised arm and shutting her eyes

205
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: that she might not see his gesture. Let me guess.

206
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'll guess right. She opened her eyes and

207
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: looked about her. They were on the crest of a hill.

208
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: The sun had set sometime since, but the landscape was

209
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: still clear in the mellow afterlight. To the west, a

210
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: dark church spire rose up against a marigold sky. Below

211
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,359
Speaker 1: was a little valley, and beyond a long, gently rising slope,

212
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: with snug farmsteads scattered along it. From one to another,

213
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: the child's eyes darted, eager and wistful. At last they

214
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: lingered on one away to the left, far back from

215
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: the road, dimly white with blossoming trees in the twilight

216
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: of the surrounding woods over it, in the stainless southwest sky,

217
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: A great crystal white star was shining like a lamp

218
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: of guidance. And promise, that's it, isn't it? She said,

219
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: pointing Matthew slapped the reins on the Sorels back delightedly. Well,

220
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: now you I guessed it, but I reckon. Missus Spencer

221
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: described it so as you could tell. No, she didn't,

222
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: really she didn't. All she said might just as well

223
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: have been about most of those other places. I hadn't

224
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: any real idea what it looked like, but just as

225
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: soon as I saw it, I felt it was home. Oh,

226
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: it seems as if I must be in a dream.

227
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: Do you know my arm must be black and blue

228
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: from the elbow up or I've pinched myself so many

229
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: times today. Every little while, a horrible, sickening feeling would

230
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: come over me, and I'd be so afraid it was

231
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: all a dream. Then I'd pinch myself to see if

232
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: it was real, until suddenly I remembered that even supposing

233
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: it was only a dream, I'd better go on dreaming

234
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: as long as I could, so I stopped pinching. But

235
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: it is real, and we are nearly home. And that

236
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: is the end of this part of the story good Night,

237
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: sleep Tight
