00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Thank you. It is bedtime and Bernice and Papa Bear

37
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: are both very full from all the delicious food they ate.

38
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Papa Bear yawns as he asks Bernice if she is

39
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: ready for bed. She says yes and asks for a

40
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: story to help her sleep. Papa Bear makes sure everyone

41
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: is comfortable and then starts booboo and Kai Kai help

42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: ruin Cliff. It's that time, Papa said, Bernice, Time for

43
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: me to go to bed. I think yond, Papa, you

44
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: can't go to bed yet? Why not? I think I

45
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: ate so much today that my body is shut down

46
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: to digest my food, Bernice's papa said, with droopy eyelids. Oh, Papa,

47
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: you aren't a machine, but you can keep going forever. Besides,

48
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: I think you might have enough energy to do one

49
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: last thing before you go to bed. Oh and what

50
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: would that last thing be, little bear? Papa Bear asked

51
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: with a smile. Do you have enough energy to tell

52
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: me a story? Bernice asked, while peeping from under her blanket.

53
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I always have time and energy to tell you a story,

54
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, as he tucked her into bed. Did

55
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: you get enough to eat today, little bear? I don't

56
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: think I have ever eaten so much food in my

57
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: whole life, and it was all super delicious, except for

58
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: maybe the parsnips. I didn't like those as much, but

59
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: everything else was yummy. Yummy. Well, you tried the parsnips.

60
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: It's good to try different foods. We are very lucky

61
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: to have so much food to eat. Yeah, I think so, Papa.

62
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that you and Mama prepared so much

63
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: food for us, and that you let me eat more

64
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: sweets than normal. We can all have big treats from

65
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: time to time. I think we have treats almost every day, Papa. Haha. Yes,

66
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: your mama says, I have a sweet tooth and might

67
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: be getting bigger around my waist. But that's all mussel, right,

68
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Bernice said, smiling. Mussels for hugs. Haha, You and Mama

69
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: get lots of hugs, so I need that. We'll eat

70
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: more vegetables and get more activity in the future. Maybe

71
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: you can run with mama, Bernice said, See, little Bear,

72
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: Papa Bear didn't look so sure. Are you comfy and warm? Yes, Papa.

73
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: How about Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline? Are they ready for

74
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: a story too? Let me check they say they are.

75
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: And where is Cookie? Papa Bear asked. Just as Bernice

76
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: was about to call her name, Cookie jumped up on

77
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: the bed, made herself comfortable and closed her eyes. I

78
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: think she ate too much too, Papa, Bernice whispered, I

79
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: think so. Now close your eyes, little bear, as I

80
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: do my very best to tell you a story about

81
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: bears and dragons. Love you, Papa, whispered Bernice, Love you too,

82
00:06:54,279 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: little bear. Once upon a time, in a world full

83
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: of magic and fun, there lived a brave little bear

84
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: named Boobu. She lived in a large castle at the

85
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: edge of a mystical forest. In this forest were unicorns, fairies, pixies, gnomes,

86
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: and all manner of insects, birds and animals. It was

87
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: a wonderful place. Her best friend was a young dragon

88
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: called Kai Kai, and they liked to play as much

89
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: as they could. The kingdom they lived in was full

90
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: of people who lived in the meadows, those who lived

91
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: in the hills, and those who lived in the forest,

92
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: and they all lived in harmony. On this day, Bubu

93
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: and Kaiki had made their way into the castle, where

94
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: a feast was being held by Buboo's father. The castle

95
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: was a magnificent structure of ancient stone and enchanted glass,

96
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: which stood majestically against the green of the surrounding forest.

97
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: The dragons had their own feast high up in the mountains,

98
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: but Kai Kai's parents didn't have a taste for sweets,

99
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: So every festival since Bobu and Kai Kai became friends,

100
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: he always joined Bobo for dessert. After eating, Bubu and

101
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: Kai Kai lay down in the garden just after Kai

102
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Kai had come close to crashing into the gardener's flower bed.

103
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: He had attempted to fly up to the sky and failed.

104
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: He had eaten too much. Oh, Kai Kai, I've eaten

105
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: far too much today. My tummy feels like it's going

106
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: to burst, Bobo said, after plopping down near a flowering bush,

107
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: looking all most round. After eating so much, I feel

108
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: like I've swallowed a whole field of pumpkins and they

109
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: are still growing inside. Thank you for inviting me to

110
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: eat dessert. My parents aren't that interested in chocolate and

111
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: sweet treats in general. They don't know what they are missing.

112
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: It's good you didn't crash into the garden when you

113
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: tried to fly. You might have undone months of friendship

114
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: with the gardener. Yeah, I was thinking that when I

115
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: eat that much, I find it hard to take off

116
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: and land. This is the first time since we have

117
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: become friends that you seem full, you usually have room

118
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: for another round or six of treats. Well. I wouldn't

119
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: turn down another round of fresh chocolate treats. Kai Kai laughed,

120
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: But I might regret it later. Your appetite is limitless.

121
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Why do we do this to ourselves every festival, Booboo said, laughing.

122
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Perhaps it's the magic of the feast. It enchants our

123
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: senses and bewitches our bellies. I don't think your belly

124
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: needs much bewitching, Booboo laughed. Thank you for helping distribute

125
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: desserts to all the families every festival. My father makes

126
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: sure that everyone in the kingdom has a great meal.

127
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: Since everyone participates in making the kingdom as great as

128
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: it is, he likes to make sure everyone gets to celebrate.

129
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm just sorry I made that little unicorn cry. Ha ha.

130
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: Your size can be intimidating. I thought it was my

131
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: shiny green Scaleskai Kai laughed. As they were about to

132
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: fall asleep and nap, a young pixie flew into the garden.

133
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: Booboo and Kai Kai, you need to wake up. Your

134
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: help may be needed. All the other dragons are high

135
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: up in the mountains, and I don't know anyone who

136
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: can speak as many languages as you. Booboo. Kai Kai

137
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: opened one eye but didn't speak. It takes time for

138
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: a dragon to wake up. Booboo got up off the ground,

139
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: brushed yourself off, and asked, what's wrong, little pixie? You

140
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: seem upset. I have been told that a mysterious fog

141
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: has descended over the town of Ruincliff, dampening the town

142
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: people's spirits. The fog seems magical, resistant to the usual

143
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: spells and charms they use. Maybe if you could help them,

144
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be so glum and might have more fun.

145
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: We would love to help, but I'm not sure how

146
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: we can. I can speak their Lafe language, but I

147
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: don't have magic I could use. We could deliver them

148
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: some more treats to help brighten their day. Thank you,

149
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: anything might help. Do you think you can fly Kai

150
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Kai Booboo asked, I'll grab a large sack of treats,

151
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: including some dragon candy, and we can fly off to

152
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: visit and see how we can help. Ruin Cliff is

153
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: a little isolated, so they might not have been able

154
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: to get help yet on their own. Kai Kai quickly

155
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: got up and shook off the grogginess he was feeling

156
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: from eating too many sweet treats. I think a long

157
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: flight would be great. That way I can work up

158
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: an appetite, Kai Kai laughed, and besides, I am always

159
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: keen to help. A short while later, Boo Boo, with

160
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: the help of others, returned with a large sack of treats,

161
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: and Booboo and Kai Kai took to the sky. As

162
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: they flew, they both enjoyed the view of the valley

163
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: leading to the town below them. The valley was nestled

164
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: within towering mountains and looked almost untouched by creatures and

165
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: peoples alike. Bubu and Kai Kai could see a river

166
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: carve its way through the green meadows and forests below.

167
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: The water reflected the sun's light, and they could see

168
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: fish swimming when they looked hard enough. The beauty of

169
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: the Kingdom always amazes me. Thank you for showing me

170
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: what it looks like from above, Kai Kai, Bubu said,

171
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: as she continued to look below. I think that is

172
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: the town over there, Kai Kai said, I hope they

173
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: have some experience with dragons, or they might be in

174
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: for a fright. Look at all the fog around the town.

175
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: It's remarkable there isn't a large body of water for

176
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: a day's journey from here, And yet let's land by

177
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: that old tree over there. Trees are always full of wisdom,

178
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: as they have witnessed many things over the countless cycles

179
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: they have been alive. Good idea. They landed at the

180
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: clearing where the tree resided. The ancient tree was immense,

181
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: her branches sprawling like a vast network of wise old arms.

182
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: Her leaves rustled gently, as if she was talking to

183
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: the wind. Booboo approached her with respect, Old tree, we

184
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: seek your wisdom. This town is shrouded in a mysterious fog.

185
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Do you know its origin? The old trees branches swayed,

186
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: and her voice as old as time itself. I've filled

187
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: the clearing. The fog is born from the hearts of

188
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: the people. Their worries and their fears have given it life.

189
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: To dispel the fog, you must bring back the light

190
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: of hope and joy to their hearts. Kai Kai tilted

191
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: his head puzzled. But how do we bring back hope

192
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: to those who have lost it? The old trees leaves shimmered.

193
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Start by helping those in need. Small acts of kindness

194
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: can ignite the spark of hope, Booboo nodded, we will

195
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: do as you say. Thank you. As they walked into

196
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: the town, the fog seemed to hang heavier in the streets,

197
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: dimming the vibrant colors of the market stalls and muffling

198
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the usual festivities. I don't understand how the townspeople could

199
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: be so glum in a kingdom that has so much.

200
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Let's drop the satchel of treats here and have a

201
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: walk around, Boobo said. Their first encounter was with old

202
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: Man Thistle, the town's grumpiest resident, struggling to carry water

203
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: from the well. Boo Boo, with a gentle offer of help,

204
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: surprised the old man. Using a gentle puff of smoke,

205
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Kaikai created a floating water container that followed old Man

206
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Thistle back to his house. The cranky man couldn't help

207
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: but crack a smile. Next, they stumbled upon a group

208
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: of children, their usual play silenced by the fog. Booboo,

209
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: with her knowledge of their language, was able to captivate

210
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: them with tales of far off lands and brave bears.

211
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: Kaik I conjured smoke shapes of the characters in booboo stories,

212
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: laughter and shears gradually replaced the silence. As they continued,

213
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: they helped Missus Lavender, the baker whose oven had grown cold.

214
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Kaiki gently rekindled the fire with his warm breath, and

215
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: soon the scent of fresh bread and pastries wafted through

216
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: the air, drawing people out of their homes. The fog

217
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: seemed to lift a little with each act of kindness,

218
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: and the town's spirit began to rekindle. The transformation was subtle,

219
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: yet undeniable. People started to emerge from their homes, their

220
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: faces brighter, their steps lighter. By the time the sun

221
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: was about to set, Ruincliff was alive again with the

222
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: sounds of laughter. The fog, now just a thin mist,

223
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: was retreating, pushed back by the collective warmth of the

224
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: town's renewed spirit. Booboo and Kaikai, watching from the town square,

225
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: handed out all the treats from the sack to the

226
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: town's children, who now ran around with chocolate covered faces.

227
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: The town, now bathed in the soft glow of the

228
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: setting sun, was coming alive again with the renewed spirit

229
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: of the festival. As Booboo and Kaikai stood in the

230
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: town square, the mayor, with a beaming smile, thanked them

231
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: for their kindness. We have always appreciated the kindness of

232
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: your father, Booboo, and the opportunities that the kingdom has provided.

233
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes we let some of the realities of living here

234
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: in this remote town affect our moods in ways that

235
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: it shouldn't. This fog has been developing for months, and

236
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: all it took was a few acts of kindness from

237
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: you both to help remind us of the joys of

238
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: the festival, he said. Children danced around Kaikai, their laughter

239
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: echoing through the streets, while villagers shared the bread and

240
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: treats Missus Lavender had baked, and all the food that

241
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: was sent by the king. The old stone fountain in

242
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: the center of the square, dry for weeks, now bubbled

243
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: with clear, sparkling water, as if celebrating the return of

244
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: joy to the town. As the festival's bonfire was lit,

245
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: casting a warm, inviting light, Bubu and Kaiki knew it

246
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: was time for them to return home. With a final

247
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: wave to their new friends, Booboo and Kai Kai flew

248
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: up into the night sky en route to Booboo's castle.

249
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: Do you think there are any chocolate treats left? Kai?

250
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Kai asked, I think I may have worked up an appetite.

251
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: Ha ha. I think the chef keeps some in reserve

252
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: just for you. And with that, Papa Bear gave Bernice

253
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: a kiss on her forehead, adjusted her blanket, turned off

254
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: her lamp, and quietly whispered, I love you, little bear.

255
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: And that is the end of our story. Good Night,

256
00:20:45,800 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: sleep tight. The bay, the bay, the B B B

257
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: in the
