We can't wait 41 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: to celebrate with you. Now on to our story. Today 42 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: is the day when Bernice is going to go on 43 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: her long bike ride with Mama and Papa Bear. But 44 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: when she wakes up, it is raining really hard. Bernice 45 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: cannot believe it. More rain. It has been raining so 46 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: much lately, and now they won't be able to go 47 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: for their bike ride. What is she going to do? 48 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: Bernice is very disappointed. Bernice lay in bed with the 49 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: covers up over her head. She felt like staying there 50 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: all day and didn't want to get up at all, 51 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: even with the smell of honeycakes coming up the stairs 52 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: from the kitchen. Silly rain, How could it rain today? 53 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: Doesn't the weather realize just how important today is? She grumbled. 54 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Bernice woke up early this morning because this was going 55 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: to be the day of her long bike ride with 56 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: Mama and Papa. There was going to be a picnic 57 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: and lots of ice cream, and she was going to 58 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: show Papa just how much stronger she was. His legs 59 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: were super strong now. But as she opened her eyes, 60 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: she could see that her room was covered in gray, 61 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: and she could hear the sound of heavy rain and 62 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: thunder in the distance. There was no way that Papa 63 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: would want to go on a super long bike ride 64 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: in this weather. I might as well just stay in bed, 65 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: Bernice said, with a humph. Are you awake yet, little bear? 66 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: I am making us some yummy honeycakes, and you wouldn't 67 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: want to miss out, Papa Bear said in his super 68 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: deep voice. Mama already said she might eat all of 69 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: yours because they taste so yummy. Bernice's tummy started to 70 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: make gurgling noises. The smell of honeycakes was pretty strong, 71 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: and they did smell super yummy delicious. Nope, Bernice said 72 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: to hers, I am not getting out of bed. I 73 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: am just too sad. Just then, Cookie came into the room, 74 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: making her usual mourning chirping noise. She almost always seemed 75 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: to be in a good mood, well most of the time, anyway, 76 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: Cookie jumped up on Bernice's bed and gave her a 77 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: head butt. Good morning, Cookie, I would say bad morning, 78 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: but that sounds weird, even though it is a super 79 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: silly day, Bernice said, as she pulled the covers down 80 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: far enough so that she could give Cookie some pets. 81 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Today was supposed to be our big bike trip, and 82 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: I was super excited. But then this happened, Bernice said, 83 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: pointing to her window, which had rain streaming down it. 84 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: It's raining so hard, Cookie that I bet the worms 85 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: are wearing raincoats. It has been raining so much lately. 86 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: I mean, what more can I do inside? I went 87 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: to an art class, read all kinds of books, jumped 88 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: up and down in the rain to see how muddy 89 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: I could get, and even did a science experiment to 90 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: measure the amount of rainfall. It was a lot, Bernice side. Oh, 91 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: I bet where Bobby is right now. It's sunny and warm, 92 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: and he is able to play outside and go on 93 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: row boats and play basketball and stuff. Meanwhile I have 94 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: to stay inside and be bored, Bernice, are you still 95 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: in bed? Mama Bear said as she knocked on the 96 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: frame of her door. Papa is making delicious honeycakes for you, 97 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: and I had mine already and they are really yummy. 98 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: He will be disappointed if you don't come down and 99 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: eat some. Get ready and come down Okay, I'm going 100 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: to go and get us some treats for the day 101 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,559 Speaker 1: while you have your breakfast. Mama Bear then went down 102 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: the stairs, singing a song as she went. It seems 103 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: everyone is cheerful except for me, Bernie thought, I guess 104 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't want Papa to be disappointed too, Bernice said 105 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: to Cookie, So I better get ready to start the day, 106 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: even if it is a disappointing one. Bernie slowly got 107 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: out of bed and started her morning routine. She was 108 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: going to wear the special biking clothes that she got 109 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: especially for this trip. The shirt had a t rex 110 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: on it and the shorts had some padding in them 111 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: so she would be comfortable riding her bike for hours 112 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: and hours, but instead she got out her comfy jeans 113 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: and t shirt. After brushing her teeth and washing up, 114 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: she slowly went downstairs to the kitchen, each step on 115 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: the stairs deliberate and slow, where Tommy made more noises. 116 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: When the smell of honeycakes became even stronger, she walked 117 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: into the kitchen with a frown on her face and 118 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: sat heavily at the kitchen table with a deep sigh. Bernice, 119 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said with a smile, that seemed too wide. 120 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: To Bernice, you look far too sad. Maybe some of 121 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: these honeycakes will put you in a better mood. Of course, 122 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: I am sad, Papa. Today was going to be the 123 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: start of a week of fun. We were going to 124 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: go and have all kinds of treats and stuff. And 125 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: I really like riding bikes, Papa. But it's always been 126 00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: raining lately, and that's just not fair. It's super disappointing. 127 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, little Bear, but there isn't much we can 128 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: do about the weather other than make the best of it. 129 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: It's been raining more than normal for this time of year. 130 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: But we don't need sunshine to have fun. Sunshine would help, 131 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: Bernie said as she took a bite of her honeycakes. 132 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: I just can't imagine what I might do today except 133 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: be super bored. I bet where Bobby is it's super 134 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: nice and sunny. There is nothing wrong with being bored. 135 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: And you are so creative that I'm sure you can 136 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: come up with all kinds of ideas, Papa Bear said 137 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: as he drank some coffee. It's not just here where 138 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: it is raining, either, it's raining where Bobby is too. 139 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: It's a silly year for rain. Well, then he might 140 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: be as bored as I am. Bernie's side, I guess 141 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: I am mostly disappointed, Papa. It was going to be 142 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: a fun day. I know, little bear, I am disappointed too. 143 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: But we can still have fun and make the best 144 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: of the day. You can still go outside. It's just 145 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: not safe to go on long bike rides when it's 146 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: raining so hard. I guess I could go outside and 147 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: do stuff. But my rubber boots might need rubber boots 148 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: because it's raining so much. Bernie said, with a small smile, 149 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: they might. And you know what, some of my best 150 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: memories are from times when things didn't go as planned. 151 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: Like there was the time your Mama and I had 152 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: a flat tire en route to a concert we really 153 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: wanted to go to. We were out in the middle 154 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: of nowhere and had to walk for hours and hours 155 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: to find help. We laughed harder that day than all 156 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: the days prior. It's not about what we miss out on, 157 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: but about what we make of the time we have. 158 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: I guess there are still lots of fun things we 159 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: could do, Bernice said, with a smile. We could have 160 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: a cozy day indoors. We could build the biggest, most 161 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: amazing blanket Fortever, we can bring snacks, tell stories, and 162 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: even have a little campout in the living room or 163 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: a picnic. Mama went to the store to get some 164 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: treats for us for later, and I wasn't supposed to 165 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: say anything, but I think she might be getting some 166 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: different flavored ice cream. Yay, that sounds super yummy, Papa. 167 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: The rain can be fun too. Maybe we could put 168 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: on our rain boots and raincoats, go outside in the 169 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: rain and explore the neighborhood park, jump in some puddles 170 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: and feel the rain drops on our faces. It's like 171 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: going to a water park right in our own neighborhood. 172 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: I like getting muddy and stuff, and it would be 173 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: fun to wear my raincoat again because it makes me 174 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: look like a dock. We could bake some cookies together. 175 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: You can be the head cookie baker and I'll be 176 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: your assistant. We can try out some new recipes and 177 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: add the cookies to the ice cream that your mama 178 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: is bringing home. That would be a yummy treat, don't 179 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: you think, Little Bear Alba Bear said with a great 180 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: big smile, It would be super yummy. Papa Bernice was 181 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: always put in a better mood by the thought of 182 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: a tasty treat, especially after doing other fun things already 183 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: in a better mood, Bernice said, well, I read about 184 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: this really cool experiment where we can measure how much 185 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: rainfalls in a certain amount of time. We can make 186 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: a rain gage using a plastic bottle and then see 187 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: how much rainwater collects. I tried this already, but I 188 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: don't think my experiment was as very good as what 189 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: I read. So I could try again, and then Papa, 190 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: we could all go for a walk in the rain 191 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: and check out how the park is different when it 192 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: is so wet, and we could jump in puddles. Papa 193 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: Bear said with a laugh. Yeah, I think so, Bernice 194 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: said with a smile. All we need for the rain 195 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: gauge is a plastic bottle, some pebbles or small stones, 196 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: a ruler, and a marker. First, we would cut the 197 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: top off the bottle and put the pebbles in the 198 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: bottle to keep it from tipping over. Then we turn 199 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: the top upside down and place it back in the 200 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: bottle like a funnel. We can use the marker to 201 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: draw scale on the side of the bottle so we 202 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: can measure the rain water. We could do this every 203 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: day it rains, Papa, and compare which gets the most rain. 204 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: That sounds simple enough. I'm pretty sure that we have 205 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: all those materials. What about our nature walk? Other than 206 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: seeing how muddy we can get, what should we observe? 207 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: Papa Bear asked. We can look at how the leaves 208 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: on the trees collect rain drops, how the ground gets muddy, 209 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: and even how the worms come out when it rains. 210 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: Worms are fun. I think everything will look very different 211 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: when it's wet, Bernice said, with excitement. Coming into the kitchen, 212 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: Mama Bear said, as she shook off the rain from 213 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: the bags. It's raining dinosaurs and dragons out there. What 214 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: have YouTube been planning? Papa taught me how to make 215 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: lemons from lemonade or something like that. We are going 216 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: to go outside, get super wet and do some fun 217 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: science stuff, and then we will come in and make 218 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: some super treats. Mama, doesn't that sound like fun? Haha? 219 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: It sure does. Let's get our rain boots on and 220 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: see how muddy we can get. It's that time, Papa, 221 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: said Bernice. And what time is that, little bear? Papa 222 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: Bear replied, It's time to see who can yawn the 223 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: most and maybe get a few Papa hugs. Bernice said, 224 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: with a great big yawn. I think I will win 225 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: the yawning competition, Papa Bear said with his own Papa 226 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: Bear sized yon all that walking in the rain, jumping 227 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: in the mud, and doing science has made me tired. 228 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: Your yawns certainly are the biggest in the whole wide world. 229 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: Bernice said, with yet another yawn. Did you have a 230 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: good day today, little bear? We did lots of fun activities, 231 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: and even though it was raining, we still could do 232 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: the things we liked. Yeah, I had lots of fun. 233 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: I like going out in the rain, at least when 234 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: I am wearing my rubber boots. And the science stuff 235 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: was okay too. Mama was really funny. I don't think 236 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: she likes getting as muddy as we do. She might not, 237 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: but she still got some mud on her nose. Papa 238 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: Bear said, with a laugh. I think I got some 239 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: mud in my ears. I had to work extra hard 240 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: in my bath tonight because there was mud all over me. 241 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: But you know what was the most fun, Papa what 242 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: Papa Bear asked? Making cookies. Papa, I think my cookies 243 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: are almost as good as yours. If I keep practicing. 244 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: I think they might be the best cookies ever. Bernice said, 245 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: with another great big yawn. I think I better close 246 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: my eyes and go to sleep. My yawns are getting 247 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: way too big. Are you comfy and warm, yes, Papa. 248 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: How about Twiggle, Wolfy and Madeline? Are they ready to 249 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: go to sleep too? I think they are. And what 250 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: about you, Cookie? Are you ready for a nap? Papa 251 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: Bear asked, yawning. Cookie opened her mouth and yawned too. 252 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: Papa cats can yawn too. We better say good night 253 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: in a hurry. Give me a hug and a kiss, 254 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, trying hard not to yawn. I love you, Papa, 255 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: I love you too. Little Bear and Cookie, Bernice and 256 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: Papa Bear all yawned together. And that is the end 257 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: of our story. Good Night, sleep tight.
