1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. This story

2
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: is about a little girl who loves Santa Claus. She

3
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: talks about Santa all the time with her family and

4
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: anyone who will listen. One day, as she's taking an adventure,

5
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: she decides to go and visit Santa. She buys a

6
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: ticket and gets on a train, and off she goes.

7
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Will she make it to Santa's house? A Girl's Minecraft

8
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: Adventure to find Santa. Once upon a time there was

9
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: a little girl who talked a great deal about Santa Claus.

10
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: She talked to her father, her mother, her brother, and

11
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: sisters until it was Santa Claus at the breakfast table,

12
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Santa Claus at dinner, and Santa Claus at supper. She

13
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: made Santa's shape in her potatoes and created Santa's face

14
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: in her rice. This little girl had been told that

15
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: far away, somewhere near the North Pole lived Santa Claus.

16
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: She was sitting in the living room one night playing Minecraft,

17
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: her character dressed like Santa, making a large in the snow.

18
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: This is Santa Claus's house, she said to her parents,

19
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: the big building covered with snow that I created. Why

20
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: can't I go and see him? The little girl had

21
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: worked hard at a grocery store and had saved some money.

22
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: She took the money and went down to the train station,

23
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: bought a ticket, and before her mother or father knew

24
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: about it, was gone to see Santa Claus. She traveled

25
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: a long, long time on the train, and after what

26
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: felt like an eternity, reached the end of the railroad.

27
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: She could go no farther on the train, where there

28
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: was a great wide ocean. But villagers crossed the ocean

29
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: on a ferry, and so must the little girl, or

30
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: at least a part of it, in order to reach

31
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Santa Claus's land. There was a great ferry waiting in port,

32
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: soon to sail over the seas, and along with many

33
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: villagers who went aboard the wooden ship, went the little girl.

34
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: Soon out from the port went the ship, leaving far

35
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: behind them the village. The ship sailed and sailed a

36
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: long time, and finally land came in sight. They had

37
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: reached an island lying somewhere far out in the ocean.

38
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Some of the villagers went ashore, and so did the

39
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: little girl. But what a funny land it was. All

40
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: the people were very small. The grown men were not

41
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: taller than the little girl, and they rode little ponies

42
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: that were not larger than dogs, ocelts, dogs, cows and

43
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: sheep all roamed freely. Then the little girl asked, what

44
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: place is this? Does Santa Claus live here? And they

45
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: said no, this is the land that lies east of

46
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: the sun and west of the moon. You have not

47
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: come too soon northward. You must go to the land

48
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: of ice and snow. And so one day the girl

49
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: found a wooden ship that was going to sail to

50
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: the north land, and in this ship she went. The

51
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: ship sailed and sailed a long time until it finally

52
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: came to where the sea was all frozen over to

53
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: the land of icebergs and snow fields. The ship could

54
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: go no farther. So what do you suppose the girl did?

55
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: Then she was in the land of the reindeer, and

56
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: over the snowfields and mountains she went in search of

57
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. One day, as she was traveling over the

58
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: snowfields to find Santa Claus's house, she saw not far

59
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: away what it first seemed to be a hill. But

60
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: soon she saw that it was not a hill, but

61
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: a house covered with ice and snow. That must be

62
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: Santa Claus's house, she said. Soon the girl was standing

63
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: in front of a great building whose towers seemed to

64
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: reach the sky. Up the shining icy steps, she went,

65
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: and soon she was standing in front of the door.

66
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: She saw no doorbell, and so she knocked on the door.

67
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: No one answered, and then louder she knocked again. Still

68
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: no one answered. She began to feel anxious. Perhaps this

69
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: was the house of aghast Or ender dragon. If Santa

70
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: Claus lived here, he might be upset with her for coming.

71
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: But once more she knocked, and then she heard a

72
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: noise far down at the other end of the hall.

73
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: Someone was coming. Then suddenly the latch went click, and

74
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: the door stood wide open. And who do you suppose

75
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: was there Santa Claus. No, a little boy with blue

76
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: eyes and red cheeks. Then the girl said, good morning.

77
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Does Santa Claus live here? And the little boy said, yes,

78
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: Come in, Come in, I am Santa Claus's son. He

79
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: took her by the hand and said, I am very

80
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: happy to see you. Then they walked down the long hallway,

81
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: doors on one side and doors on the other, until

82
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: they came to the last door on the left hand side.

83
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: On this door, Santa Claus's little boy knocked, and a

84
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: great booming voice said, come in. He opened the door

85
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: and walked in. And who do you suppose was there?

86
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. Yes, there was Santa Claus. Him a great, big,

87
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: jolly man, sitting by the fire, with a long white beard,

88
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: blue eyes, and the merriest, cheeriest face you ever saw.

89
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: Then Santa Claus's son said, Father, here is a little

90
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: girl who has come to see you. Santa Claus looked

91
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: down over his spectacles and said, well, how are you.

92
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: I am mighty glad to see you. Yes, yes, I

93
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: know her. I have been to her house many times

94
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: and filled up her stocking. How are Jack and Louise

95
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: and Catherine. Over on the other side of the fireplace

96
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: sat Missus Santa Claus. She had the cheeriest and warmest

97
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: face you ever saw, with white hair and gold rimmed spectacles.

98
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: She was sitting by the fire reading. She got up

99
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: and put her arms around the girl and gave her

100
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: a great big kiss on the cheek. Then Santa's son

101
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: and the girl sat down in front of the fire

102
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: and talked together. After a time, Santa Claus's little boy

103
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: said to the girl, would you like to see the

104
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: rest of the building, and see what we have in

105
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: the different rooms. This building has a thousand rooms. And

106
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: the little girl said whooie, and Santa Claus's son said, yes,

107
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: and something different in every room. Then they went into

108
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: a large room, and what do you suppose was in there?

109
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: Nothing but dull babies. Some had long dresses and some

110
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: had short, some with brown eyes and some with blue.

111
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: Then into another room they went, and it was full

112
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: of toys, lightsabers, and puzzles. Another room was full of

113
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: glorious books. Another room was a candy kitchen where Santa

114
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Claus made candy. Another room was a workshop where Santa

115
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: Claus made wooden toys for the children. And yet another

116
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: room was full of computer screens where they made all

117
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: kinds of apps. Then they went into a long, large room,

118
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: the largest of them all, And in this room were

119
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: a great many tables. On these tables were a mixture

120
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: of clothes and toys. The girl wanted to know what

121
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,119
Speaker 1: they did with so many different things, and Santa Claus's

122
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: son said, we take these two people who are in need.

123
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: We hope that all the children of the world feel

124
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: some joy. And so they went through all the rooms

125
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: of the great building, except one which was upstairs in

126
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: the corner. What was in this room? No one would

127
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: tell the little girl, nor would they take her into

128
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: the room, and the little girl wondered what was in

129
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: the room. The girl stayed at Santa Claus's house for

130
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: several days, and she had a splendid time. Some days

131
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: the two friends would slide down the hill on a sledge.

132
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: Some days they would hitch up the reindeer and go slaying.

133
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: Some days they would go into the candy kitchen and

134
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: help Santa Claus make handy, or into the workshop and

135
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: help him make toys. But one day Santa Claus came

136
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: to the little girl and said, I am going away

137
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: today for a little while. Missus Claws and my son

138
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: are going with me. Now, he said, you can come

139
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: with us, or you can stay here and look after

140
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: our house while we are gone. The girl thought to

141
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: herself how Santa Claus had been so good to her,

142
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: and said she would stay and keep house while Santa

143
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: Claus was away. Then Santa Claus gave her a great

144
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: bunch of keys and said, now you can go into

145
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: all the rooms and play, but you must not go

146
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: into that room upstairs. In the corner. The girl said

147
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: all right, and with that Santa Claus, his wife and

148
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: son went down the steps, got into the sleigh, wrapped

149
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: themselves up in furs, waved, and away they went. The

150
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: girl stood and watched them until they disappeared behind the

151
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: snow hills. Then she turned and went back into the house.

152
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: She felt like a grown up in that great house,

153
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: all by herself. From room to room she went. She

154
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: went into the game room and played video games. She

155
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: then went into the candy kitchen and ate some of

156
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: the candy. She went into the workshop and worked on

157
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: some toys, then into the library and read some of

158
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: the books. Then into the room with all the computers

159
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: and coded a game. Then into the living room and

160
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: bent on the piano. But after a while the girl

161
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: was tired, and she said, I wish Santa Claus would

162
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: hurry and come back. She was lonely, and so she

163
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: thought she would go up on the housetop and look

164
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: out to see if she could see Santa Claus coming home.

165
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: Up the steps she went. When she reached the top,

166
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: there was another flight up. These she went, and still

167
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: another flight up. Up she went, until it seemed she

168
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: had gone a thousand steps, but finally she came out

169
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: on top. The girl stood there with her hand on

170
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: the railing and looked out, but all she could see

171
00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: were the snowfields, white and shiny. Santa Claus was not

172
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: in sight. She could see the track over the snow

173
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: that the sleigh had made, but that was all. Then

174
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: down the steps she came, and it just happened that

175
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: she came by the room that Santa Claus told her

176
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: she must not go into. As she passed, she stopped

177
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: in front of the red door and said to herself, hmm,

178
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: I wonder what they have in that room and why

179
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: they did not want me to go in. She took

180
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: hold of the knob and gave it a turn, but

181
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: the door was locked, and she shut one eye and

182
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: peeped through the keyhole, but she could see nothing. It

183
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: was all dark. Then she put her mouth at the

184
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: keyhole and blew through it, but she could hear nothing.

185
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: Then she put her nose there and smelled, but she

186
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: could smell nothing. I wonder what they have in the room,

187
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: she said. I believe I will see, just for fun,

188
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: which one of these keys will fit in the lock.

189
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: The girl had in her hand the great bunch of keys.

190
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: She tried one key and that would not fit. Then

191
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: she tried another, and another and another, and kept on

192
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: until she came to the last key. Now, she said

193
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: to herself, if this key does not fit, I am leaving.

194
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: She tried it and it was the only key on

195
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: the bunch that would fit. Now she said, I shall

196
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: not go into the room, but I will just turn

197
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: the key and see if it will unlock the lock.

198
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: It may fit in the lock, and then not unlock

199
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: the lock. She turned the key slowly and the latch

200
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: went click, and the door flew wide open. What do

201
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: you suppose was in the room? It was very, very bright.

202
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: It was so bright the girl could see nothing. She

203
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: had her hand on the door, and it seemed to

204
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: be shaking her, and she could hear a warm and

205
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: friendly voice. The voice said, wake up, Wake up. She

206
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: opened her eyes, and where do you suppose? The girl

207
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: was at home in bed. It was Christmas morning and

208
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: her father was standing over her in his favorite red shirt.

209
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: The sun was shining across her bed. She went to

210
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: the living room and there all the stockings were hanging full.

211
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: The girl had been to see Santa Claus, but she

212
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: went by that wonderful way often called dreamland, and that's

213
00:18:27,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: the end of our story. Good Night, sleep tight scenes,

214
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: SCE
