WEBVTT - Hello Stars

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister jim O.

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I was just getting ready for bed, are you as well?

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth and found

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>all those things ready, then it's time for our story.

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 1>But first we must close our eyes so that we

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>can travel to an imaginary world. Okay, Ray, Time to

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>roll out the sleeping bags. Ray's family was at their

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>usual campsite out by the lake. They always went camping

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>here during the summer when the air was warm all

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 1>night long, which was good because Ray's family didn't camp intents.

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>They loved sleeping under the stars. They would lie a

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>big blanket down on the ground place their sleeping bags

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>on top. The beach was the best spot because there

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.279
<v Speaker 1>weren't any trees to block their view of the sky.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>All done, Dad Ray said once everyone's sleeping bag was

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>rolled out over the blanket on the soft sand. Her

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>favorite thing about rolling out the sleeping bags was getting

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to place them anywhere she wanted. This time, she put

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone in a star formation, with their feet all meeting

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>in the middle. Ray smiled at her handiwork and then

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>ran to help her brother and sister collect sticks to

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>roast marshmallows on. After Ray Jet and Anne collected three

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest sticks they could find, their dad whittled

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the tips down to make the perfect roasting sticks. Ray

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>poked a triple stack of marshmallows on her stick, then

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>roasted them until they were ooey, gooey, golden brown mmm.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>The three siblings stayed up, laughing and lunching marshmallows until

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>their mom called to them and said, okay, you three,

0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:01.519
<v Speaker 1>time to wiggle into those sleeping bags. Ray got in

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and pulled their sleeping bag up to her shoulders, pretending

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>to be a little caterpillar snuggled up inside of her cocoon.

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>She imagined waking up to the sunshine as a beautiful butterfly.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Ray tried to fall asleep, but she wasn't tired at all,

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>not one bit. She wondered if anyone else was having

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>trouble falling asleep. Ray wiggled her left foot towards her

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>brother Jets across the star, then her right towards her

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>sister Anne's at her side. They wiggled their feet right back.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Their giggles were only quieted by their dad's voice. All right,

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you wiggly giggle monsters, quiet down now. So Ray kept

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>her feet to herself and watched the night sky. She

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>listened to the gentle ways from the beach and stared

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>at the inky black sky above and all the stars

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>scattered throughout it. The stars twinkled down at her, and

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Ray imagined they were excited to see her once again.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello stars. They looked so close she felt like she

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:30.559
<v Speaker 1>could touch them if she tried, so she did. Ray

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>reached both hands up above her as she lay down

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>on the ground in her sleeping bag. She wiggled her

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>fingers at the stars and they seemed to wiggle back.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Ray giggled and whispered, stars, are you copying me? And

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>she twisted her hands to the left and right. The

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>stars rocked back and mirroring her movements. Ray pulled her

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>fingertips through the stars like she would run her fingertips

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>through the lake, slowly back and forth. Her movement sent

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>a ripple through the darkness in space. The stars swirled

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>behind her hands as they went I wonder, Ray began

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to ask. She pinched a star and pulled it towards

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>her pop the star came out small and glowing. She

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>was amazed and started to pluck more stars from the sky,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 1>cupping them in her hand. When she could hold no

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>more stars, she shook them and watched them twinkle and

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>shine through her fingers, Still speaking softly so she didn't

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>wake anyone, Ray counted three, two, one, Then she tossed

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the stars up in front of her. They soared around

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in all directions, shooting stars and falling stars, moving across

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the sky and down towards the sand, before returning to

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>nestle back into the inky, black night sky. As the

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>stars settled down, Ray yawn Her eyelids were growing heavy,

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and she gave herself a nice stretch, and as she did,

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>her hand accidentally grazed a star, making a distinctive musical tink.

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Ray used her fingers to flick another star, and sure

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>enough she heard another note. Ray began touching the stars

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>in rhythm, singing softly along with the notes. Twin, Twinkle,

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>little Star. She yawned again and gave a sleepy smile.

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Her eyelids had become much too heavy to keep them

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>open at all. Ray lowered her arms and curled them

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>up in her sleeping bag under the musical, magical stars

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and fell asleep. Well, my friends, it is time to

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>fall asleep. And I wonder if those stars are real.

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if we touched the stars, they couldn't make

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>a sound, and you couldn't make a song from touching

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>each of them. As we sleep under our twinkly stars,

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and you have very sweet dreams. Good night friends,
