WEBVTT - The Goodnight Town 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:09.240 Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime stories with mister Jim. 0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:15.440 Oh I was just getting ready for bed, are you 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:20.000 as well? Oh good, I hope you brushed your teeth 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:24.360 and found all of your comfy things like pillows and 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:30.560 blankets and stuffies. Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.560 as you have all those things ready, then it's time 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:39.000 for our story. But first we must close our eyes 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:55.120 so that we can travel to an imaginary world. Jackson 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:59.720 and Owen's mom finished reading them a bedtime story and 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.440 sent them off to bed. The big kiss on each 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:08.800 of their little heads. Good Night, my little ones, sweet dreams, 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.800 she called as they went back to their beds. Jackson 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:19.560 usually fell asleep during story time, but not tonight. He 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:24.520 was wide awake. He wandered over to his bookshelf and 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.720 searched through the titles. There were familiar ones about a 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:36.240 big red dog and favorites about taco eating dragons. In 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:41.959 the back of the shelf, a silver book glowed. The 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:47.440 light caught Jackson's attention and he reached for it. But 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:52.200 before his fingers could touch it, the book tumbled out, 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.800 its pages, ruffling as it slowly floated down onto his bed. 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.800 Sitting down to it, you reached for the cover that 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:08.919 read the good Night Town. The book was once again 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:14.240 a step ahead as it fluttered its pages automatically to 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:21.880 the first line. Here in Goodnighttown, everyone sleeps sun up 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:29.000 or sundown. Jackson's fingers finally reached the glowing page of 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.560 the book, and instantly he became part of the story. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:39.240 Jackson found himself now sitting on a park bench just 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.560 inside the town square. Only the bench was not like 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:49.240 the ones in his own park. This bench was squishy 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.640 and cozy, and even came with a pillow to rest 0:02:54.760 --> 0:03:00.000 your head. All around the park, the other benches looked 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:05.480 the same, some with snoozing creatures and others getting ready 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.919 to rest. A family of chipmunks chittered together as they 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:14.280 snored on the bench. Across the path, a toucan had 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:20.360 added leaves and turned his bench bed into a cozy nest. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.240 The park was filled with the quiet sounds of animals dreaming. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:30.760 Jackson tiptoed toward the street, careful not to wake anyone. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.679 The sun was low in its sky, its eyes fluttering 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:40.280 closed as it struggled to stay awake. It was a 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:46.480 very sleepy sun. The stores were a sleeplover's dream. There 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.600 was a shop dedicated to pillows and another for soft 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.080 fuzzy blankets. The snuggle Buck shop had windows full of 0:03:55.120 --> 0:04:03.800 plush toys. Teddy bears, dogs, dragons, bumblebees all sat there 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:10.000 waiting for someone to snuggle to sleep. Jackson stepped inside 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:15.200 and found a plush polar bear hugging it already. He 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:20.520 walked over to the counter to pay. The cashier was catnapping, 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.320 curled up in the middle of the counter as she purred, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:29.440 excuse me, I would like to buy this polar bear. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:35.440 Jackson whispered to the cat. It stretched its fuzzy legs 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.839 and pointed one paw to the sign by the register. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:44.360 It read nap time from eight am to eight pm. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.880 Please take what you'd like. Then the cat curled back down, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.520 turning its head away from him. Jackson walked along the 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:58.000 street with his new blush polar bear toy, past shops 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.120 of night lights and feedy Patches Ammaz. He stopped in 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.679 for a Comet nightlight and rocket ship Jamies with more 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:11.640 sleepy cashiers who pointed to signs about nap times. He 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:16.200 continued on until the shops disappeared and the sidewalk turned 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:21.800 into a grassy path along the river. Turtles curled up 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:27.320 on floating logs, and frogs even worth sleeping on lily pads. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:34.560 Is anyone awake in this town? Wonder Jackson. The sun 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.520 had now made it to the edge of the trees, 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.240 and Jackson watched as it grabbed some clouds and tucked 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:49.080 itself in. The moon yawned and rose up into the sky. Well, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.920 hello there, what are you doing awake? It called down 0:05:54.920 --> 0:06:04.520 to him. I can't sleep. Jackson shrugged. Hmm, that's strange. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:09.600 Everyone is sleepy in good night town. Well not me. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:15.520 Can you help me? The moon smiled at him. Oh, 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:21.400 of course, hop on. It sent a cloud down next 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:26.320 to him, and Jackson climbed onto the cloud. His feet 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:31.720 sank through the fluff, and he settled himself down. Jackson 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.359 took his comet nightlight and stuck it into the cloud. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:41.680 A soft light filled the space. The cloud lifted, floating 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.559 slowly back toward town. He held his polar bear tight, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:52.799 seeing what the moon saw. Every night, white puffs escape 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:58.279 chimneys from the houses below. Everyone inside warm and cozy. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:05.040 They're poor. Lights twinkled like stars from below. The cloud 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:11.440 floated over the trees, full of sleepy animals, nests of birds, 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:17.160 and tree holes filled with squirrels were all snoring away. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.640 Jackson rested his head on the cloud and watched as 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:30.440 the ground passed by. It carried toward him mountaintops, and 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:38.720 he felt the warm weight of sleep covered his body, 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.720 and he imagined that's how the mountaintops felt when covered 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:48.920 in snow. They passed by caves of dragons curled up 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.160 with smoke and flames, following each snore from their mouths. 0:07:55.160 --> 0:08:00.280 The weight of sleep reached Jackson's eyelids and he allowed 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:06.480 them to close as he heard the moon whisper good night. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.000 The cloud carried Jackson to the top of the page, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.400 bringing him out of the book back into his room, 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:22.480 and pulled the covers over him and his new polar bear, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.280 making sure to plug in his comment nightlight before floating 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:32.840 back into the book. The glowing silver book closed quietly 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.800 and tucked itself back onto the shelf again, waiting for 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:42.000 the next time Jackson needed help. Well, my friends, as 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:46.440 we all drift off to sleep, may you have the 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.680 sweetest of dreams. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:09:09.960 Good Night, my friends, B 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:29.839 And F.
