WEBVTT - Stuffy Makes A Dream Friend

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime stories with mister Jim.

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

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 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>can travel to an imaginary world. A lavender store sat

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 1>snug between two brick buildings on Main Street. The windows

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>were stuffed with stuffies, plush animals, snugglebugs and the like.

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>The powder blue door opened with the twinkling sound of

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>tiny bells, and the sign above the door read welcome

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to dream Buddies. We hope you find your best friend.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Every day of.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>The week, children enter dream Buddies, searching the shelves for

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 2>the perfect bedtime friend. There were rows dedicated to teddy bears,

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>sea creatures, farm animals, animals that hop, and animals that fly.

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Whatever type of dream friend you could dream of, it

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 2>would be found among the shelves of dream Buddies. No

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>two plush animals were the same, and the selection was

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 2>always changing. Many of the dream Buddies didn't last long

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>on the shelves at all. Squids, snuggle bugs, parrot plushies,

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>and even snake stuffies were scooped up into the loving

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>arms of kids and taken home. Everyone seemed to find

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>their best friends right away, everyone, it seemed, except Terry.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Terry the Tarantula sat on a shelf among other less

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>frightening bugs. The ladybugs seemed to leave as soon as

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 2>they arrived, and the butterflies had a waiting list. Even

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>the ants and bees seemed to always find their match,

0:02:55.280 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>but not Terry the stuffed animal tarantula. He sat there

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 2>day after day, watching children pass him by on their

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>way towards the cuter plush toys, or even worse, they

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>would see him and cry at the sight of a

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>big Harry spider. Despite his less than stellar reputation, Terry

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>did not give up hope. He knew his child was

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>out there somewhere. They just needed to find him. Today

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>was a particularly busy day at Dream Buddies, and Terry

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>decided it would be a good day to.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Test his luck.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 2>During quiet times, when his aisle was empty, Terry would

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>wiggle himself closer to the edge of his shelf, hoping

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 2>to be seen better. You look at that spider, shrieked

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the first girl to spot him. She quickly hurried past

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the bug section and onto the cuter section of puppies.

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>After she left, Terry scooted forward a bit more. A

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>boy walked down the aisle, looking at all the bugs.

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Look at that one, he said, pointing towards Terry's shelf.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>The boy reached up and moved Terry to the side.

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 2>A stick bug, he exclaimed as he pulled the stuffed

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.479
<v Speaker 2>toy out from behind Terry. The boy played with it

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>before heading to the register. Terry sighed and went to

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 2>inch a bit further when four of his legs accidentally

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>slid off the edge of the shelf. Oh no, Terry thought,

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Unable to correct his mistake before a group of kids

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>walked down the aisle, He froze while they paused, but

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 2>their heavy footsteps as they bounced around and excitement were

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>enough to break the little grip he had left on

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>the shelf. Just as the group of kids passed, Terry

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>tumbled from the shelf to the floor. There was no

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 2>way Terry could get back up on the shelf now,

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>oh well, he sighed, I just hope no one steps

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 2>on me down here. He figured he would stay down

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>there until the store owner cleaned up at the end

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>of the day. He didn't expect anyone to see him

0:05:54.080 --> 0:06:00.280
<v Speaker 2>or want to pick him up. There's always tomorrow, Terry thought.

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>He heard people coming down the aisle. How about these

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>horses over there, They're cute. No, Mom, I want something else.

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe a bug. Oh, here's a cute ladybug. What about this,

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 2>her mom suggested. The girl shook her head in disgust.

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 2>No way, no, mom, something way cooler than that. A bumblebee,

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>a pretty blue butterfly. The mom held them up for

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.719
<v Speaker 2>her daughter to see, but the girl shook her head

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and frowned. No, something really cool. The girl scanned the shelves,

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 2>moving the ants and beetles around. She stepped over towards

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the shelves Terry had just fallen from, and looked at

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 2>the leaf bugs there. She lifted her foot about to

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>step over Terry. He braced himself for impact, but instead

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of being stopped on by a foot, he felt himself

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>being picked up by two gentle hands.

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Mom. Look, the girl examined him, turning him over and

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>brushing him off A spider. Are you sure, Lotty asked

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the mother, and Terry's heart sank for a moment until

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the girl named Lottie answered, not a spider, mom, a tarantula,

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's perfect. Then Lottie squeezed Terry, hugging him tightly.

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>She skipped over to the register, and Terry's heart felt

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like it would burst. Finally, his best friend had found him.

0:07:54.240 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>That night who When Lottie went to bed, she held

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Terry the tarantula tightly in her arms. Good Night, she

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.679
<v Speaker 2>whispered as she gave him a kiss on his furry head.

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Then the two dream buddies drifted off to sleep. Wow,

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 2>isn't it special our comfy, cozy, fuzzy friends. I'm glad

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 2>she found a cozy friend. As you cozy up to

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>your stuffies, may you have very sweet dreams.

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Good night, my friend,
