1 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Have you 2 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: ever moved to a new place. Were you excited to 3 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: move or did you feel like it was the last 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: thing in the world you wanted to do. Coco in 5 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: our story does not want to move away from her home, 6 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: her friends, and the place she has lived forever, to 7 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: this place where everyone lives in igloos and skates to work. 8 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: Coco is excited about only one thing, and that is 9 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: flying on an airplane. When Coco lands, she sees that 10 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: things are not quite as she expected, but there are 11 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: still some surprises for her. Goco moves to Canada. Today 12 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: was moving day, the day that Coco left the place 13 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: she had called home for all of her life. She 14 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: wasn't too happy about leaving and argued and begged her 15 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: parents to not move to this far off place where 16 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: everyone lived in igloos and skated to work. Why couldn't 17 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: we stay where it was warm all year round and 18 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: continue to live in our big house. Coco didn't want 19 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: to live in an igloo and couldn't skate. How would 20 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: she survive? Her parents never listened, even when she said 21 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: she would miss her friends and teachers. They simply said 22 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: that she would make new friends and have new teachers. 23 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: That was easy for them to say. They were already 24 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: grown up and life was easy for them now. Even 25 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: traveling to this far off place was difficult. Coco was 26 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: only allowed to take one stuffed friend with her on 27 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: the plane. The rest, along with her legos, books, art supplies, 28 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: and just about everything of value to her, had to 29 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: be shipped separately. What a terrible decision. It took Coco 30 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: two weeks to choose which friend she would take with 31 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: her on the plane, a little gray rabbit named Flopsy. 32 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: She chose Flopsy because she thought she would be too 33 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: scared to be stuck in a dark box for a 34 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: really long trip. Though she wouldn't admit it to her parents, 35 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: she was excited about one part of her move. In 36 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: a few hours, she would get to ride on a 37 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: large airplane for the first time in her life. She 38 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: used to spend a lot of time lying in the 39 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: grass watching the planes fly over her head, wondering where 40 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: the people in them were going. Now she would have 41 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: her chance, if only it was a return flight. She 42 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: suggested that to her parents too, but they said no. Again. 43 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: No was her parent's favorite word. Coco had the window 44 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: seat and watched as the plane noisily took off and 45 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: rose high in the sky. Looking down, Coco could see 46 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: her favorite park, the museum her class often visited, and 47 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: all the messy buildings that made up the place she 48 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: still wanted to call home. This high up in the sky, 49 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: everything looked like little toys. But as cool as the 50 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: experience was, Coco couldn't stop feeling a little sad about leaving. 51 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: The flight was going to be over twelve hours long, 52 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: so after Coco and her parents had something to eat, Coco, 53 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: exhausted from all the excitement, fell asleep until she was 54 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: woken to eat breakfast. This wasn't too bad, she thought, 55 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: being served food, then sleeping, and then being served food again. 56 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: Before long, they landed in a large city with a 57 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: strange looking building with a pointy tip, and boarded another 58 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: much smaller plain that would bring them to what her 59 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: parents called their new home. This flight wasn't nearly as exciting, 60 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: as there was no food and her friend Flopsy was 61 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: feeling kind of hungry. As they came to land at 62 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: their destination, Coco looked out the window and saw a 63 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: patchwork of green fields, forests, and red soil below. She 64 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: also saw what looked like houses. What she didn't see 65 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: were igloos, snow or people skating everywhere. Mom, I thought 66 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: we would have to live in an igloo. Isn't this 67 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: place frozen in white all the time? Koko asked loudly 68 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: so that her mother would hear her over the noise 69 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: of the airplane. Of course, not child, Her mother replied, 70 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: where did you get such an idea? I think Yusef 71 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: told me. Yusev was being silly and probably trying to 72 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: make you laugh. He was always the funny boy ever 73 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: since he was born. Koko moved into her new home, 74 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: which looked a bit strange to her, being made of wood, 75 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: but she took comfort in the fact that at least 76 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't made of ice. It wasn't easy, but eventually 77 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: Koko adjusted to the cool air, the strange habits of 78 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: the locals, and the new rules she had to follow. 79 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: She had a hard time always having to wait at 80 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: a crosswalk. At home, she could cross the street wherever 81 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: she liked. She started school and thought her teachers were 82 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: nice and her classmates were friendly. She was surprised at 83 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: how different everyone looked. Everyone seemed to come from strange 84 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: faraway places. One classmate even came from a strange sounding 85 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: country called Miss Gush. Coco was a little shy and 86 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: hadn't made any friends yet. One morning, something peculiar happened. 87 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: Coco was at the front door of their house, which 88 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: had a window that allowed her to look out onto 89 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: their front step and walkway and the neighborhood beyond. It 90 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: was time for her to walk to school, but she 91 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: was a bit afraid. White stuff had started falling from 92 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: the sky and it had blanketed the whole neighborhood. The 93 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: houses were covered in white sidewalks, the front yard, and 94 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: especially the front step of their home. Mom, Mom, some 95 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: kind of ash's falling from the sky, Coco yelled from 96 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: the front door. Her mother came quickly from the kitchen 97 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: to have a look. Oh, Coco, this is snow. You 98 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: know this. It's the first snow of the season and 99 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: it looks beautiful. Put on your new coat. It's time 100 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: for you to go to school. Don't forget to stop 101 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: and cross at the crosswalk, her mother said as she 102 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: returned to the kitchen. Coco put on her coat, but 103 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: stood at the door a little longer, her eyes wide 104 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,239 Speaker 1: as she looked at the falling snow. She was hesitating, 105 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: unsure about what would happen when she went out and 106 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: stepped on the rising amount of snow on their front step. 107 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: Would the snow make a sound or would it be 108 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: so cold that her feet would freeze? Would she slip 109 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: and fall and hit her head. Don't just stand there, 110 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: go outside and go to school, her mother yelled from 111 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: the kitchen. Koco opened the door and decided to jump 112 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: out onto the step, which she did, and the snow 113 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: blew away when she jumped. It was like the flowers 114 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: her mother liked when she ran through a field of them, 115 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: and their white seeds flew in the wind. Standing there 116 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: on the front step, she got a chill as the 117 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: outside air was much colder than the day before, but 118 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: the sight of the snow covering everything in sight made 119 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: her forget about the cold. Koko was amazed at the 120 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: soft and powdery sensation underfoot as she took more and 121 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: more jumps in the snow. She giggled as she jumped 122 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: and jumped, sending snow flying in all directions. Wow, she 123 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: said outloud, it's not slippery at all. It looks, feels 124 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: and taste great. Koko couldn't resist as she jumped to school, 125 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: sticking her tongue out to have a taste. Maybe moving 126 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: here isn't so bad after all, she thought, The white 127 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: snow looks so clean and pretty. That day at school, 128 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: she found it hard not to stare out the window 129 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: at all the snow falling on the ground. The teachers 130 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: were kind and only told her to pay attention five times. 131 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: After school, she walked home alone, feeling less excited about 132 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: all the white around her as the air had gotten 133 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: much colder throughout the day. She still hadn't seen anyone 134 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: skating around town. People pretty much moved around like they 135 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: always did, just with bigger coats and heavy boots. BurrH, 136 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: it is so cold here, she thought. Sure, the snow 137 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: is beautiful, but I don't know if I can handle 138 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: such bitter cold. So she started walking even faster, and 139 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: then faster again. If her boots weren't so heavy, she 140 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: might have run. Coco was in a hurry to get home, 141 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: where she knew it would be much warmer, unlike where 142 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: she came from. Houses here had heaters, and her mother 143 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: always had the house super warm. As she was walking 144 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: quickly and with her house almost in sight, Coco hid 145 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: an icy spot on the sidewalk, slipped and flew up 146 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: in the air, landing on her bomb ouch. She yelled, 147 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: stupid snow, stupid cold, stupid ice. I don't like it 148 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: here anymore. I want to go back to my real home. 149 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: Coco wasn't hurt. It happened so quickly that it scared her, 150 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: and sometimes being scared makes people get angry. She got up, 151 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: brushed the snow off her new winter jacket, and slowly 152 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: continued down the street toward her house. She took really 153 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: small steps, thinking that that might help her to not 154 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: slip again. Maybe after I tell my mother I fell, 155 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: we can finally return to my real home, where I 156 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: have friends and had fun and didn't fall on silly ice, 157 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: and where it wasn't so cold that I might freeze, 158 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: Coco mumbled to herself. She sighed. She knew her father 159 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: and mother would disagree no matter what she said. They 160 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: loved the snow, and because they were old, they didn't 161 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: have to worry about all the things that she did. 162 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: Coco finally arrived at the walkway leading to her house. 163 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Even though she found it cold, she continued walking the 164 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: last little bit as slowly as possible. She didn't want 165 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: to fall again. As she was going down her walkway 166 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: and about to go into the house, she heard someone 167 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: call her name, Coco, Hey, Coco. It was one of 168 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: the boys from her class. He was with a bunch 169 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: of other kids she recognized from her school across the 170 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: street and they were building something in the snow. Coco 171 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: waved and quietly said, hello, why don't you come over 172 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: and play with us. It's super fun and we could 173 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: use your help to build our fort. Coco was a 174 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: little shy and hesitated, and hesitated and hesitated. She saw 175 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: her mother at the door, waving her off with her 176 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: hands and mouthing the words go, child, go. Coco looked 177 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: at Samuel and quietly said, okay, I'll be right there. 178 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: She walked over and Samuel introduced her to all the kids. 179 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: Is this an igloo you are trying to build? Coco 180 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: asked something like that, I guess. Bob, one of the 181 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: other kids replied, we need to build a fort so 182 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: we can be ready when the other kids from up 183 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: the street walk by. Ready for what, Coco asked, well, 184 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: ready for the snowball fight? Of course, we do this 185 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: every year, and we haven't won yet, But now that 186 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: we have you, maybe we have a chance. Samuel said me, 187 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: but I don't know how to make igloos or forts, 188 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: Coco replied in class, I remember you sharing how you 189 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: used to make houses with your friends where you came from. 190 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: This is the same, but with snow. And besides, when 191 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: it comes to snowball fights, there is always strength in numbers, 192 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: Samuel said. For the next hour and each afternoon afterwards, 193 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: Coco helped Samuel and the other kids make the best 194 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: fort they had ever made. She soon forgot all about 195 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: the cold snow and how she had slipped and fell. 196 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: They didn't win any snowball fights, but they had a 197 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: lot of fun, and Coco found new friends in the 198 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: new place she now called home. She never forgot where 199 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: she came from, but she was happier than she had 200 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: thought she ever would be, and she even eventually learned 201 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: to skate. And that's the end of our story. Good Night, 202 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: sleep tight.
