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 --> 0:00:26.640
<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 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Every day of the week, children enter dream Buddies, searching

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the shelves for the perfect bedtime friend. There were rows

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>dedicated to teddy bears, sea creatures, farm animals, animals that hop,

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and animals that fly. Whatever type of dream friend you

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>could dream of, it would be found among the shelves

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of dream Buddies. No two plush animals were the same,

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and the selection was always changing. Many of the dream

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Buddies didn't last long on the shelves at all. Squids,

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>snuggle bugs, parrot plushies, and even snake stuffies were scooped

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>up into the loving arms of kids and taken home.

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Everyone seemed to find their best friends right away, everyone,

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it seemed, except Terry. Terry the Tarantula sat on a

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>shelf among other less frightening bugs. The ladybugs seemed to

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>leave as soon as they arrived, and the butterflies had

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>a waiting list. Even the ants and bees seemed to

0:02:52.360 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>always find their match, but not Terry the stuffed animal tarantula.

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>He sat there day after day, watching children pass him

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>by on their way towards the cuter plush toys, or

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>even worse, they would see him and cry at the

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>sight of a big Harry spider. Despite his less than

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>stellar reputation, Terry did not give up hope. He knew

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>his child was out there somewhere. They just needed to

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>find him. Today was a particularly busy day at Dream Buddies,

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and Terry 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 --> 0:04:24.680
<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 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>A stick bug.

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 2>He exclaimed as he pulled the stuffed toy out from

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 2>behind Terry. The boy played with it before heading to

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the register. Terry sighed and went to inch a bit

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>further when four of his legs accidentally slid off the

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>edge of the shelf. Oh no, Terry thought, Unable to

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 2>correct his mistake before a group of kids walked down

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>the aisle, He froze while they paused, but their heavy

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 2>footsteps as they bounced around and excitement were enough to

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 2>break the little grip he had left on the shelf.

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Just as the group of kids passed, Terry tumbled from

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the shelf to the floor. There was no way Terry

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>could get back up on the shelf now, oh well,

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>he sighed, I just hope no one steps on me

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>down here. He figured he would stay down there until

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 2>the store owner cleaned up at the end of the day.

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 2>He didn't expect anyone to see him or want to

0:05:54.680 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 2>pick him up. There's always tomorrow, Terry thought. He heard

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>people coming down the aisle. How about these horses over there,

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>They're cute. No, Mom, I want something else. Maybe a bug. Oh,

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>here's a cute ladybug. What about this, her mom suggested.

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 2>The girl shook her head in disgust. No way, no, mom,

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>something way cooler than that. A bumblebee, a pretty blue butterfly.

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 2>The mom held them up for her daughter to see,

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>but the girl shook her head and frowned. No, something

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>really cool. The girl scanned the shelves, moving the ants

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and beetles around. She stepped over towards the shelves Terry

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>had just fallen from, and looked at the leaf bugs there.

0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 2>She lifted her foot about to step over Terry. He

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 2>braced himself for impact, but instead of being stopped on

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 2>by a foot, he felt himself being picked up by

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>two gentle hands.

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Mom.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Look, the girl examined him, turning him over and brushing

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>him off A spider. Are you sure, Lotty asked the mother,

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 2>and Terry's heart sank for a moment until the girl

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 2>named Lottie answered, not a spider, mom, a tarantula, and

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>he's perfect. Then Lottie squeezed Terry, hugging him tightly. She

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 2>skipped over to the register, and Terry's heart felt like

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>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 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>your stuffies, may you have very sweet dreams. Good night,

0:08:33.200 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 2>my friend,
