WEBVTT - Chasing The Moon

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister jim O.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I was just getting ready for bed, are you as well?

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth and found

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 1>all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>all those things ready, then it's time for our story.

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>But first we must close our eyes so that we

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>can travel to an imaginary world the end Charlie's mothers

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>as she closed the book, aw said Charlie, disappointed. Can

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:11.559
<v Speaker 1>we read one more? I'm not sleepy yet. Her mom

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>smiled at her but shook her head. Nope, time for bed.

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's tuck you in and then it's off to dreamland.

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>As they walked to her room, Charlie frowned and asked, dreamland.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Where's that? Oh? You know, it's the place where all

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>dreams live, her mother answered. Charlie climbed into bed, but

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>she still had more questions. Mom, how do I find dreamland?

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Mom looked out of Charlie's window at the night sky.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>The stars were twinkling and the moon shone bright tonight.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>She told Charlie just follow the moon, then tucked her

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>in nice and snug and kissed her good night. Charlie

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:08.959
<v Speaker 1>sighed and yawned and looked out her window. She watched

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the moon expectantly, waiting for it to do something, but

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't exactly sure what. Would it move toward her window

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and ask her to follow. Would it speak and give directions?

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>She waited and waited, the starlight growing weaker as clouds

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 1>began to move in the moon had not moved, winked,

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>or spoken. Still, she waited until finally something happened. The

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>moon disappeared. No, how will I get to Dreamland now,

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Charlie jumped out of bed to get a better look

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 1>outer window. Oh, the clouds had taken over the night sky,

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>making it hard to see much of anything. A bright

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>flash dipped below the cloud cover, then quickly disappeared the moon.

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Come on, clouds, I need to see the moon. I

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>want to go to Dreamland. The clouds blanketing the sky

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 1>remained the same for a moment, and then a few

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>of them began to wiggle. They wiggled and jiggled their

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>fluffy selves until they popped loose and dropped down, each

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>one lower in the sky than the next. The last

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>cloud to wiggle and pop landed with its belly just

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>above the grass in Charlie's yard. Charlie wasted no time

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>climbing out of her window and up onto the first cloud.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Then she reached to squished the fluff of the cloud

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>above it in both hands, and pulled herself through. Up

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and up she went, until the last cloud she had

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to climb through was the cloud layer blanketing the sky.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>She pulled herself through and saw the moon tucked into

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the clouds, snoring. Excuse me, mister moon, asked Charlie. The

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>moon opened one eye and spotted her. Then both eyes

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>popped open and he began to zip away in the

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>opposite direction. Wait, come back, Charlie tried to run after it,

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.679
<v Speaker 1>but the clouds were too soft. I felt like trying

0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>to run through cotton candy. How am I going to

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>get to Dreamland if I can't catch the moon? Are

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you trying to catch the moon? I can help, said

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a voice behind Charlie. Charlie turned to see a green

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>shell larger than two Charlie's with two fins and a

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>friendly face. Are you a sea turtle? She asked in astonishment.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Good guess, but HI more of a sky turtle since

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I live up here. Climb on, we can chase after

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 1>that moon. He can be pretty tricky to find. He

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>loves to play hide and seek. Charlie climbed onto the

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>sky turtle's fin and up onto his hard shell. She

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>found a round pillow waiting in the middle for her

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:06.559
<v Speaker 1>and sat down on it. Hold on tight. The sky

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>turtle called to her and began swimming up higher into

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the inky black of the sky. They looked out among

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the stars in clouds, searching for that tricky glowing globe.

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Something bright dipped below the clouds ahead over there, said Charlie,

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and the sky turtle responded, zooming towards it and then

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>dipping fast below the cloud blanket and after the bright light.

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The sky turtle swam through the tall trees of a forest,

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>following the glow. As they got closer, however, hmm, it

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>looked much too small to be the moon. Hello, hello,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>please wait. The glowing light stopped and fluttered in place.

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>As Charlie and the turtle passed the last tree, they

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>saw what they thought was the moon was actually a

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>large sky jellyfish. It's many tentacles waved about as it

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>floated in place, while our little Sutle asked the scared jellyfish,

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, we thought you were the moon. Charlie exclaimed,

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>all but our us, foller ale, said the jellyfish. The

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>sky turtle and Charlie floated behind the sky jellyfish, whizzing

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the round trees until they were out of the forest.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>In front of them was a lake so large that

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the water looked like it dropped off and disappeared way

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>out in the distance. Where the water met the sky.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Something was glowing, hobbling under the lulk so about silver

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of humples and above the water, said the jellyfish. Then

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>it waved its tentacles all at once and moved quickly

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>through the air and out of sight. The sky turtle

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and Charlie sailed in the air above the water, trying

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to reach the end of the lake where the moon

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>was peeking out. They zipped above the water past lake

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>monsters and mermaids who cheered them on, and the end

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of the lake was inching closer. They were so close

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Charlie reached out to tap the moon to tell it

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>she had found him and was ready to go to dreamland.

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>When Charlie heard her mom's voice, good morning, Charlie, did

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>you have a good night in dreamland? Charlie opened her

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>eyes to the sun shining through her window, with the

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>light outline of the moon still visible in the sky.

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>She squinted at it and could have sworn she saw

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>it wink and then it disappeared. Wow, my friends. As

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>we all climb into our cozy beds and close our eyes,

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>may you have very sweet dreams in dreamland. Good Night,
