1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. This episode

2
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: is the second part of the introduction to the story

3
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Pixie and the Green Book Mystery. In the first episode,

4
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Pixie had had a really crummy day at school and

5
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: was looking forward to going to the library with her mom.

6
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: The smell of honeysuckles hanging in the archway and paper

7
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: met her nose as the library door opened. This was

8
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Pixie's home away from home. She was happy here. When

9
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: they arrived, Pixy skipped off to the children's section and

10
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: her mom went to look for garden books. Pixie collapsed

11
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: onto a large yellow pillow that almost swallowed her up.

12
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: She looked around and something was different. There was no

13
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: one else there, and Pixie felt like she was being watched.

14
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: The sun streamed in through the large stained glass window

15
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: overlooking the children's section. Pixie followed it with her eyes

16
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: beam stopped over a dark green, leather book. She had

17
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: never seen this book before. Pixie had read most everything

18
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: and explored every nook of the library. A mysterious, glowing

19
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: book was something new, so she rose up from the

20
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: squishy pillow and walked over to check it out. It

21
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: stood upright like a tall soldier She pulled the book

22
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: from the shelf. It was so massive she dropped it

23
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: on the floor. A puff of dust swirled in the air.

24
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: It tickled her face. Whoops. She giggled and sneezed. Sh

25
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: A new librarian was staring at her from behind the

26
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: checku counter, even he was unfamiliar. The usual librarian, Miss

27
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: Rita Good, was nowhere in sight. Pixie saw the title Catastrophes, Calamities,

28
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: and Chaos was glowing. These were very big words for

29
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: an almost nine year old girl, so she decided to

30
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: ask the new library gentleman what they were. The librarian

31
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: snarled at her, don't you know, little girl? Pixie shook

32
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: her head. He glared through the bottom of his glasses

33
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: and growled, that's what's wrong with kids these days. Don't

34
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: read enough. One of these days there'll be no books

35
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: to read. The librarian was dressed in teacher clothes and

36
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: smelled like stale popcorn. He was bald except for a

37
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: tuft of silver hair above each ear, and his pasty

38
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: white skin made him look like he had never seen

39
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: the sun. Vixy was curious why a line went through

40
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: the middle of his glasses, but did not want to

41
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: upset him anymore, so she returned to the pillow and

42
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: opened the book. After studying the first picture, she began

43
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: to read Once upon a Time, Princess Cinderella was walking

44
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: through the woods when she came across a white rabbit

45
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: that was in a panic about being late. Oh my whiskers,

46
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm late, gasped the white rabbit. She jumped when someone

47
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: tapped her on the shoulder. A girl who looked to

48
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: be about her age stood with her arms crossed. She

49
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: had wavy blonde hair and was wearing a blue dress

50
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: with puffy sleeves. Pixy thought she had seen this girl before,

51
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: but couldn't remember where. What are you reading, the girl asked.

52
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: It's a story about Cinderella, and she's talking to a

53
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: rabbit that won't stop looking at his pocket watch. Pixy replied.

54
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: The girl glanced at the picture in the book. There

55
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: you are, She shrieked, Do you know whose rabbit that is?

56
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: She reached out to take the green book, but Pixie

57
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: held it tight. They tugged it back and forth for

58
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: a minute. Let go, the girl said no. Pixie answered,

59
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: I need to see it. The girl demanded, it's important.

60
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: I know that rabbit. Pixie pulled the book out of

61
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: her hands. Okay, she said, you can look at the picture,

62
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: but I will hold it. The girl stared at the

63
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: open page. Pixie watched, baffled. Where had she come from

64
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: in the first place. She didn't hear the jingle of

65
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: the library door before the girl appeared. Her name is Cindy,

66
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: and she's talking to my white rabbit. The girl snapped,

67
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: how dare she? She stamped her foot. They do not

68
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: belong in that book. Then before Pixy's eyes, the strange

69
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: girl jumped into the book. My goodness, Pixy cried out.

70
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: The librarian turned down the aisle, pushing a squeaky book cart.

71
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: He hissed at Pixie to be quiet, close your mouth

72
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: and stop yapping. His eyeslits glored at her sh and

73
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: read your book. She had never seen eyes like this.

74
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: They were jade green and glowed just like a cat's

75
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: eyes in the dark. Pixie had to get out of sight.

76
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Clutching the green book, she moved to the teen section

77
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: in the back of the library. Normally it was full

78
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: of noisy boys playing dragon keeper cards, but today it

79
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: was empty. In the corner was a blue couch and

80
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: she raced over to it. It was mammoth. Her feet dangled,

81
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: not able to reach the ground. Pixie swiftly opened the

82
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: book and peered back down at the page. The girl

83
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: who was standing next to her was now in the story.

84
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: She was waving her finger at Cinderella, or as she

85
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: had called her, Cindy. She looked out of sorts. Pixy

86
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: started again. Once upon a time, Princess Cinderella was walking

87
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: through the woods when she came across a white rabbit.

88
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: He seemed to be in a panic about being late

89
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: for something. Then suddenly, Alice in Wonderland appeared. Why is

90
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: my rabbit here with you, Alice demanded. Cinderella's mouth curved

91
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: up nervously. The rabbit says, he is lost and he

92
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: is late. I am lost too. Do you know where

93
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: our story books are, Cinderella whispered. Pixy shook her head.

94
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Of course, that's why the girl seemed familiar Alice in Wonderland.

95
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: She had just re read that book last week. Pixy

96
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: pinched her hand, thinking she was dreaming. Ouch. She said

97
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: under her breath, I am awake, and now have a

98
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: red mark to prove it. She turned the crinkly page.

99
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: I can talk for myself, you know, the white rabbit

100
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: said crossly. Well, in that case, you better go and

101
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: find our books so that we can get back into

102
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: our stories. Alice replied. The white rabbit looked down at

103
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: his feet and his hands began to shake. I can't,

104
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: he said, he might catch me. Alis and Cinderella looked

105
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: at each other the book guardian, They said in unison. Wait, wait,

106
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: interrupted Pixy, who is the book guardian? Three heads popped

107
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: out of the open page, and Pixie fell backwards. Cindy, Alice,

108
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: and the white Rabbit pointed to the library, and before

109
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: she could stop herself, Pixie blurted, why are you afraid

110
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: of him? Getting caught could mean big trouble, Alice said sharply.

111
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: She continued, When the book guardian puts the glowing green

112
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: book on the shelf, fairy tales come to life. That's

113
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: when he tries capturing us characters inside the book, and

114
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: once inside, we forget where our books are shelved. Cindy

115
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: tried to speak, but Alice kept on the Guardian's clever.

116
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: He knows book characters fill up pages with their words,

117
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: and the more they talk, the more pages are added

118
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: to the green book. Let me add that climbing out

119
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,359
Speaker 1: of pages is exhausting, Cindy put in, But if characters

120
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: don't escape the book before it stops glowing, they turn

121
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: into numbers in the back of the book, and their

122
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: storybooks disappear. The White Rabbit finished, Why is he doing this,

123
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Pixi asked. She had lots of questions, but time was

124
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: running out. There's no time to explain. We have to

125
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: return to our stories before the book stops glowing, answered Alice.

126
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: The White Rabbit looked at his pocket watch. Yes, yes,

127
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the little hand is almost on the nine. Oh, my,

128
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: Pixy did not want to see her new friends turn

129
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: into numbers in the Mysterious book. It's times like this

130
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: we need the Seven Dwarfs, Alice chimed in. Pixy looked

131
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: around and didn't see any dwarfs, and how could the

132
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: seven Dwarfs help at a time like this? It fell silent,

133
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: and the cart noise grew louder. This meant the Guardian

134
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: was near
