1 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:17,159 Speaker 1: Hello friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Bernice is 2 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: awake very early and excited to start her day. Papa 3 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: Bear tells her it is too early and tells her 4 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: she needs to give him thirty minutes and then they'll 5 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: have breakfast. Bernice is eager to do more things before 6 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: summer is over. She and Papa Beart talk over breakfast 7 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: about what she has done and would still like to do. 8 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: Bernice and Papa Bear discuss summer. Papa, good morning, It's 9 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: time to wake up. It's super sunny outside and we 10 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: don't want to be late, Bernice said happily as she 11 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: stood over Papa Bear as he was lying in bed asleep. 12 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: What time is it, little bear? Papa Bear said groggily. 13 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: Is everything okay? It's five am, Papa, and everything is perfect, 14 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: But it's time to get up. My stomach is gurgling. 15 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: And did I tell you it's super sunny outside. You 16 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: didn't forget that we planned on going for a bike 17 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 1: ride this morning, did you? Bernice said, super excitedly. Five am, oh, Bernice, 18 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, as he pulled the covers over his head. 19 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: It's a bit early to go for a bike ride. 20 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: When I said that, we would make an appointment to 21 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: ride our bikes. I was thinking that a time closer 22 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: to nine would be best. Well, we do need to 23 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: eat breakfast first, Papa. Without a good breakfast, I won't 24 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: have the energy to go biking. You always say that 25 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: a good breakfast is important, especially when we go bike riding. Okay, 26 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: little Bear, how about I close my eyes for thirty 27 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: more minutes and then make you some honeycakes for breakfast. 28 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: Then we can talk about where to go for a 29 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: bike ride. Sounds yummy, Papa. I will be waiting for 30 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: you at the kitchen table. I already got dressed in 31 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: my favorite clothes for biking, the brightly colored ones with 32 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: dragons on them, and I brushed my teeth and stuff. 33 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: Bernice then ran down the stairs to the kitchen, where 34 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: she poured herself a glass of milk. She preferred her 35 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: milk warmed up with the special stuff that Papa Bear 36 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: put in it, but she wasn't allowed to heat it 37 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: alone yet. Bernice sat at the kitchen table, drinking her milk, 38 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: looking at the clock and thinking about all the things 39 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: she might see and collect on her bike ride with Papa. 40 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: She liked to collect different flowers and plants for her collection. 41 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: She also thought about all the treats they might have 42 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: along the way. When the big hand of the clock 43 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: turned to the number six, Bernice got out of her 44 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: chair and walked to the stairs. Papa, Oh, hi, Papa, 45 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: she said, more quietly. I was just calling you to 46 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: let you know that it was thirty minutes later, she said, 47 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: as Papa Bear lumbered down the stairs. Papa Bear was 48 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: so big that sometimes Bernice thought she felt the house 49 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: shake when he walked down the stairs. Let me brew 50 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: my morning coffee and then I will start our breakfast, 51 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said quietly. Yeah. Mama Bear always says that 52 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: you are in a better mood after you drink coffee 53 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: in the morning, but don't forget to have a glass 54 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: of water first. You need to make sure you are hydrated. 55 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Thank you, little Bear. Mama Bear always teases me that 56 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: I am grumpy before coffee, but I like my routine, 57 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, with a smile. I don't think you 58 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: are ever in a bad mood, Papa. You are always 59 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: super optimistic. Hmm. I'm not sure that is the correct 60 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: use of that word, but I understand what you are 61 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: trying to say. So why are you up so early, 62 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: little Bear. We've had other sunny days and you don't 63 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: wake up until after six. Well, Papa, summer will be 64 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: over soon, and I still have so much to do. 65 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: Taking a drink of his coffee, Papa Bear said with 66 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: a chuckle, Huh, I remember last week you told me 67 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: that you were bored, bored, bored. I think that that 68 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: is how you said it, and that you had nothing 69 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: to do. That was because it was raining, Papa. I 70 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: was super excited to go to the park with Bobby, 71 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: and then when I woke up, I looked outside and 72 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: it started raining, and I just couldn't think of anything 73 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: as fun to do, so I got super frustrated. You 74 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: kept pretty busy all day, I remember, Papa Bear replied, 75 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: taking more big SIPs of coffee. And you seemed to 76 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: have fun. Yeah. After I got over my disappointment with 77 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: the change in weather, I had lots of fun reading 78 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: books and making stuff. You created some nice art that day, 79 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, as he looked at one of Bernice's 80 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: paintings on the fridge. Yeah. I'm a good artist. But 81 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: I also learned some more facts about animals to share 82 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: with Bobby, and I also did some of those science 83 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: experiments and Mama gave me and you helped me make 84 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: some cookies too. Yeah, Papa, they were super yummy. I'm 85 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: going to start our breakfast. Why don't you get some 86 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: plates and forks for me and tell me what you 87 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: still want to do this summer while I cook? Okay, 88 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: Papa Bernice said, as she got the plates from the 89 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: cupboard and the forks from the drawer. Well, I did 90 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: well at swimming this summer and improved my speed, but 91 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: I still want to swim more. Yes, you got a 92 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: few peebs in your last race, Papa Bear said. I'm 93 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: not as fast as Gertrude yet, but she keeps encouraging 94 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: me to go faster, so one day I can swim 95 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: as fast as her. I still want to run more 96 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: often with Mama. She went for a run this morning 97 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: before five am, and I was going to go with her, 98 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: but she said it was too early and I should 99 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: go back to sleep. Your mama is pretty smart, and 100 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure you will have a chance to go for 101 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: more runs with her, little Bear, I hope. So I 102 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: just have to be careful not to run too much 103 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: faster than Mama. I don't want to hurt her feelings. 104 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: I still want to go to the park with Bobby 105 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: a few more times, and he got a new water 106 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: slide in his backyard so I could go over and 107 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: play there. I also want to collect more plants for 108 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: my collection. Bobby says he found more fossils or rocks 109 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: or something, so we will share our collections the next 110 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: time I go over to visit. I think you have 111 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: seen Bobby almost every day, Papa Bear said, laughing. I 112 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: think we should have more ice cream, too, Papa, Summer 113 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: and ice cream go together. They certainly do, Little Bear, 114 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: I think I might try bubblegum ice cream this time. 115 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: Can we go for ice cream today? Papa? There is 116 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: an ice cream place on our bike ride, and I 117 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: think there are other places we can get treats along 118 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: the way too. I'm sure we can, Little Bear, have 119 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: a seat while we eat breakfast, Papa Bear said, as 120 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: he puts some honeycakes, milk, and fruit on the table. 121 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: Be careful, your milk might still be hot. Thank you, Papa. 122 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: It looks super yummy. After taking a big bite, she said, 123 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: with food in her mouth, it tastes super yummy too. 124 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you like it, Little Bear. After eating more honeycakes. 125 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: Papa Bear asked, so, what were some of your favorite 126 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: things you have done this summer so far, Waiting until 127 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: she finished the food in her mouth, Bernice replied, it 128 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: was really fun swimming with Gertrude, Bobby and the swim team, 129 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: and I liked our trips to the beach, even though 130 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Bobby kind of made a mistake that one time by 131 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: moving the old wood around. Yes, the bugs he released 132 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: emptied the beach pretty fast, Papa Bear said with a laugh. Yeah, 133 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: we had the whole beach to ourselves after that. Bernice 134 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: said with a smile. I loved exploring the neighborhood and 135 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: having tea with Gertrude. The trips to the park were fun, 136 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: and visiting our relatives was okay. I guess my running 137 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: has improved. I am faster on my bike and have 138 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: learned so much about science. Oh and our garden is 139 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: so big now, Papa, it certainly is. You did a 140 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: great job planting it. But you know what I enjoyed 141 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: most about summer so far, Papa, what's that? Little Bear? 142 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: I got to spend more time with you and Mama, 143 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: and I ate more cookies. Thank you, little bear. It 144 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: sounds like you have had a full summer, even though 145 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: some days may have seemed boring. Yeah, the rain isn't 146 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: always fun though I have rubber boots and I like 147 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: splashing and getting muddy and wet. Just having time to 148 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: do nothing is important, Little Bear. Is that something else 149 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: I will appreciate when I am old like you and 150 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: Mama Old, Papa Bear said, with a big smile. I 151 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: meant older, Papa Bernice said, with a big grin. But Papa, 152 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: remember what we talked about last time we went for 153 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: a bike ride, pretending not to remember. Papa Bear replied, 154 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: not exactly, little Bear. We talk about lots of things. 155 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: You said you would talk to Mama about having a 156 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: kitten in the house. Gertrude has a cat, and I 157 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: am ready for a cat too, Bobby said. He asked 158 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: his parents and they said no. I think they are 159 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: scared he might chase the cat around the house. He 160 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: has a lot of energy or something. Well. I still 161 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to talk to Mama about it yet, 162 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: little Bear. It's a big responsibility bringing another family member 163 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: into the house, and a kitten is just like a 164 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: baby and needs lots of care. I know I can 165 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: do it. Papa. Okay, let me talk to Mama tonight 166 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: after dinner and we will see what she says. Thank you, Papa. 167 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: When you finish your breakfast, don't forget to rinse your 168 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: plate in the sink and wash your sticky hands. Papa 169 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: Bear said. Can we ride on the bike path through 170 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: the park this morning, Papa, we sure can. Maybe we 171 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: can ride through the spooky woods too. I think I 172 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: might ride super fast through that part, Papa. Those woods 173 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: are kind of creepy, Bernice said, as she washed her hands. 174 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: And don't forget we might need some snacks, Papa. I 175 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: won't forget. I can take some of those cookies I 176 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: made yesterday. Those were super tasty, Papa. And you know 177 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: what tastes yummy with cookies, Brussels sprouts. No, Papa, you 178 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: know crunchy purple carrots, Papa, Bernice said, with a laugh, 179 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: ice cream, Papa, ice cream and cookies taste super duper together. Laughing, 180 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, well, I'll have to bring enough cookies 181 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: so we can have some when we stop for ice cream. 182 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to go put on my helmet, Papa, and 183 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: my gloves and stuff. This is going to be a 184 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: super fun morning. Okay, little bear, I will see you 185 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: outside by the bikes. Don't forget your water bottle. I won't, Papa. 186 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: And that's the end of our story. Good Night, sleep 187 00:13:24,720 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: tight to b B bub Bu.
