Speaker 1: please visit sleeptightstories dot org slash support. We can't wait

46
00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: to celebrate with you. Now Onto our story. Bernice is

47
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: on summer vacation and Bobby is away, so she is

48
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: trying to find some things to do. When she and

49
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: her parents decide to try an art class, Bernice comes

50
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: home with lots of stories and art to share. Bernice

51
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: makes new friends at art class. Bernice walked up the

52
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: steps to her small house and struggled to open the

53
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: front door. Her arms were full of all kinds of stuff,

54
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: a painting canvas, supplies, and all the results of a

55
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: day's worth of creating Eventually, she realized that it was

56
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: possible to put her stuff down, which would give her

57
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: a free hand and the ability to open the door easily.

58
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: Bernice quickly closed the door after she jumped inside. She

59
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that Cookie, her cat, couldn't run outside.

60
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: Cookie was an indoor cat, and Mama and Papa always

61
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: said not to let her outside. Hi, Papa, I'm home,

62
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Bernice said, as she set her stuff down again. I

63
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of stuff to show you, Papa.

64
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: And what is that most awesomest smell in the whole

65
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: wide world. It smells like cookies, which is good because

66
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: I am super starving again. I have just taken our

67
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: treat out of the oven, little Bear, Papa Bear said

68
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: in his impossibly deep voice. Come into the kitchen when

69
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: you are ready, and we can have some of them

70
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: with milk. I'm pretty hungry too. Bernice first took off

71
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: her raincoat. She didn't really need to wear one today,

72
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: even though it was raining. Usually she liked to get

73
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: really wet. Getting wet and muddy in the rain was fun,

74
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: especially when she was hanging out with Bobby, because they

75
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: would get super super dirty. But this raincoat made her

76
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: look like a duck, which she thought was funny. Bernice

77
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: then sat down on the floor with a thump. She

78
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: had also worn her new rain boots, which meant she

79
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: could splash in even more puddles. You could only splash

80
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: in so many puddles with white sneakers. As she struggled

81
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: to get her boots off, she called Cookie, where are you?

82
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: Your bestest friend is home. Cookie then ran around the

83
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: corner and quickly gave Bernice a head butt. Did you

84
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: forget get to come and greet me today? Bernice asked.

85
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: I bet because it was kind of gray and wet outside.

86
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: You spent the day napping in the window, right. I know,

87
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: when it is sunny outside, you like to watch the

88
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: birds in our trees and you try to talk to them.

89
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you and the birds would get along

90
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: really well, but I guess you could try to be

91
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: their friend. Cookie replied by purring as Bernice gave her

92
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: some pets. I went to a special art class today

93
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: and made some new friends. I don't know why, but

94
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: sometimes I get shy around new people. I'm not like Bobby,

95
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: who walks into a room and immediately tries to make

96
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: everyone laugh, but I tried to introduce myself and it

97
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: went okay. Did you see all the art I made?

98
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: The teacher even took us outside even though it was rain.

99
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: It's funny because I love getting wet, but some of

100
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the other kids didn't. I guess we are all different.

101
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: I know you don't like water much either, because of

102
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: the time some water from the bathroom sprayed on you

103
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: and you ran away and hid for a while. The

104
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: art teacher was really cool and helped everyone, even though

105
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: some are expert artists like me, or some didn't like

106
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: the rain and stuff. Bernice said to Cookie as she

107
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: rubbed her belly. The cookies are on a plate, little bear,

108
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: come get them while they are warm, Papa Bear said

109
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: from the kitchen. Bernice's belly then made a loud, gurgling noise. Sorry, Cookie,

110
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: but I guess you can hear my stomach making all

111
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: kinds of loud noises. I think I need some super yummy,

112
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: delicious cookies to eat. We can play a bit later

113
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: if you like, Bernice said, as she placed her rubber

114
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: boots on a mat by the front door. Running into

115
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: the kitchen, Bernice said, you made my favorite cookies for

116
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: our treat. Papa, and they smell so super yummy. They

117
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: do smell good. I made chunky chocolate chips this time,

118
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: and the milk is really cold, just in case you

119
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: need to cool off a bit. Why don't you wash

120
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: your hands and you can talk about all the stuff

121
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: you brought into the kitchen. After washing her hands, Bernice

122
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: sat down at the table and took a great big

123
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: drink of milk, leaving a milk stash on her top lip.

124
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: I learned a new cookie eating technique at our class today, Papa, Well,

125
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: maybe not really new, because I bet we have done

126
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: it before. One of my new friends dunks his cookie

127
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: and me milk. Papa. Look. Bernice demonstrated dunking her cookie

128
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: and milk and taking a bite. If you do it

129
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: enough times, your milk might turn into chocolate milk, which

130
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: is pretty cool. I think there are many fun ways

131
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: to eat cookies. I sometimes like to dip hard cookies

132
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: into coffee or tea, Papa Bear said, with a smile.

133
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: So tell me about your day and all those art

134
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: pieces you have here. Was it a good idea to

135
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: go to a fun class on a rainy day today?

136
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: It was super fun, Papa. I mean it would have

137
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: been okay to stay home and read books and stuff.

138
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: But I got to meet some new friends today, which

139
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: is nice. And guess what, Papa, one of my new

140
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: friends eats cookies after school like we do. Isn't that cool.

141
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: His name is Zeke, and he seems very nice. He

142
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: can even make art almost as good as I can.

143
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: Maybe eating cookies helps make talented artists like us, Bernice

144
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: said with a smile. I guess it couldn't hurt. Bappa

145
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: Bear said with a laugh. I met another new friend

146
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: in class too. His name was Everett, and he shared

147
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: a cookie with me during snack. I think he thought

148
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: I was hungry and wanted to help, which was very

149
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of him. After taking another bite of her cookie,

150
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: Bernice continued, Our teacher had us do all kinds of painting,

151
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: and I made a great, big painting on that canvas.

152
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a painting of the rain.

153
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: Because the teacher is super cool. She made us go

154
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: outside in the rain, get wet and jump around and stuff.

155
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: Some kids didn't want to and that's okay, but since

156
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: I wore my rubber boots and my raincoat, I jumped

157
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: around a lot. I like playing in the rain. It's

158
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: sometimes more fun with Bobby around because he likes playing

159
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: in the mud and stuff, but it was still really fun.

160
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: Looking at her large painting, Papa Bear said, I think

161
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: it looks pretty great. Is that a duck in the rain? Yeah,

162
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: it's not my best work. I was thinking of ducks

163
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: when we were outside in the rain, and I really

164
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: like my raincoat because I think it makes me look

165
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: a bit like one. Zeke painted a picture of a

166
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: tree that looked great, and I'm not sure whatever it painted,

167
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: but it had lots of nice colors. Then, Papa, because

168
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: we were out in the rain, we did all kinds

169
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: of art using water colors and other stuff. You and

170
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: Mama can hang it all up in the house if

171
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: you like. Some of the kids collected leaves and branches

172
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: from outside to make art with those materials, but I

173
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: didn't think that was interesting, so I stuck with watercolors.

174
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: It sounds like sending you to this class at the

175
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: last minute was a good idea. Then it certainly sounds

176
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: like you had a lot of fun, Papa Bear said,

177
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: as he took a drink of tea. Yeah it was fun, Papa,

178
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: but I am really excited about our bike trip next week.

179
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: That will be super duper cool, especially since you promised

180
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: we could have some ice cream, Bernice said as she

181
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: finished her last cookie. Yes, we are going to take

182
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: a holiday next week and do all kinds of fun stuff,

183
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: including eating some tasty ice cream. Will we have time

184
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: to work on our garden before we go, Papa. I

185
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: think my vegetables are growing really well, and Mama's flowers

186
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: are blooming. But I think your plants might need some help.

187
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha. I'm not the best at growing things. We

188
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: can work on our garden tomorrow if you like, as

189
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: long as you don't mind getting a bit muddy. I

190
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: love getting covered in mud, and the teacher today said

191
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: you can use mud to make art, but we didn't

192
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: have time to try. Maybe I can try that tomorrow,

193
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: Bernice said, as she put her plate and glass in

194
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: the sink. That sounds good, little bear. I think Cookie

195
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: has been missing you all day. You might want to

196
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: go give her some attention. Yeah, I missed her too, Cookie,

197
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: here I come to play. It's that time, Papa, said Bernice.

198
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: And what time is that, little Bear, replied Papa, The

199
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: time you tell me a story. Are you sure you

200
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: can stay awake? You had a busy day today, Papa asked.

201
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: I think so, Papa. I'm super awake. I think I

202
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: could stay up all night. And since it's summer, it's

203
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: okay to stay up all night, right, Bernice asked as

204
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: she let out a great, big yawn. Well, a good

205
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: night's sleep is important no matter what time of year

206
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: it is, and Papa bear yawned, I don't think I

207
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: could stay up really late. I need my beauty sleep.

208
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I think you are handsome enough, Papa, but I'm too

209
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: sleepy to stay up late. Anyways, I guess maybe a

210
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: short short story. Did you do all the things you

211
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: need to do before bed? I did. I'm super clean

212
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: and there is no more mud anywhere on my body.

213
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: I used mamma soap that smells like some kind of

214
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: fancy flowers. I even tidiat my room. Are you comfy, yes, Papa.

215
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: How about Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline? Are they ready for

216
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: a story too? They said they are ready. How about you, Cookie?

217
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: Are you ready to listen to a story too? Cookie

218
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: simply lay there with a smile on her face. Okay,

219
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: give me a hug and a kiss, and I'll tell

220
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: you a short story. Thank you, Papa. Once upon a time,

221
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: in a world full of magic and fun, there lived

222
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: a brave little bear named Booboo. She lived in a

223
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: large castle at the edge of a mystical forest. In

224
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: this forest were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all manner of insects,

225
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: birds and animals. It was a wonderful place. Her best

226
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: friend was a young dragon named Kai Kai, and they

227
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: liked to play as much as they could. The kingdom

228
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: they lived in was full of people who lived in

229
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: the meadows, those who lived in the hills, and those

230
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: who lived in the forest, and they all lived in harmony.

231
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: On this day, Booboo thought she might spend the day

232
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: in the garden helping the gardener fix some of the

233
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: damage that Kaiki made when a sudden gust of wind

234
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: blew him off course during a landing. It wasn't very serious,

235
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: but Booboo knew that the gardener always wanted the castle

236
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: gardens to look their very best. Kai Kai was spending

237
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: the week end with his family in the mountains, and

238
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: most of her friends seemed to have things to do

239
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: to day. Even her mother and father were busy. After

240
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: eating a yummy breakfast of sweetheard biscuits and milk tea.

241
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: Bobo left the kitchen to go out towards the exit

242
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: to the back garden, but as soon as she opened

243
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: the wooden door, she saw that the gray morning skies

244
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: had turned to rain. It was raining really hard, which

245
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: meant her plans to spend the day outside in the

246
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: garden would have to be put on hold. Maybe tomorrow,

247
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: she thought, as she walked back towards the kitchen. I

248
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: guess I could spend the day reading in the library.

249
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: That is always fun. We have so many interesting books

250
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: to read, many of them full of all kinds of

251
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: good magic. As she was walking up the stairs to

252
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: the library, she thought of another idea. Papa Bear looked

253
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: down at her nice and saw that she was fast asleep.

254
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: Let's finish our short story tomorrow. Night, little bear, he

255
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: whispered as he kissed her forehead, adjusted her blanket, and

256
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: turned off her lamp. I love you, little bear, and

257
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: that is the end of our story. Good night, sleep

258
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: tight
