It's a rainy day and Bernice 23 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: is excited because this means she gets to go to 24 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: the movies with Bobby. They need to decide which movie 25 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 1: they are going to see, and then off they go. 26 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: When they get home, Bernice tells her papa that she 27 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: had a great day.

Bernice woke up to the 30 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: sound of the pitter patter of rain against her bedroom window. 31 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: She quickly sat up, stretched and took a great big 32 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: breath before walking to her window. Yes, she said out loud, 33 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: this means I can go to a movie with Bobby today. 34 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: Bernice and Bobby had been planning on going to a 35 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: movie together since summer started, but both Papa Bear and 36 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: Bobby's mother said they could only go on a rainy day. 37 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: Bernice didn't quite understand why. Something about enjoying the beautiful 38 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: weather while it lasts. Bernice Are you awake yet, Papa 39 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: Bear yelled from down in the kitchen, his favorite room 40 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: in the house. I'm super awake, Papa, she replied as 41 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: she hurriedly got her clothes out of her dresser. Great, 42 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: little Bear, I'll start your breakfast. Then. What's for breakfast, Papa, 43 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: she asked from the top of the stairs. Some special 44 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: honey waffles, little Bear, quickly, get ready and get them 45 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: while they are hot. Wow, today is really turning out 46 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: to be a super day, thought Bernice as she put 47 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: on her favorite pants, the ones with the big pockets 48 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: on the side, and her favorite movie going t shirt, 49 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: the one with the big goofy dog on the front. 50 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: After washing and brushing her teeth, she ran down to 51 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: the kitchen for breakfast. Wow, little Bear, you certainly seem 52 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: to be in a good mood today. I thought you 53 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: might be sad that it was raining and you couldn't 54 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: go to swimming practice, so I made you waffles to 55 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 1: cheer you up a little bit. Thank you for making 56 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: me waffles, Papa. But I don't need cheering up today. 57 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: It's raining outside and you know what that means, right, Mmm, 58 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: you stay inside reading books? No, she said, with a 59 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: mouthful of. 60 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: Waffles, you splash. 61 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: Outside in the rain and then come in for some 62 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: hot chocolate milk. Papa Bear said, Oh, Papa, don't you 63 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: remember your promise. Papa Bear now remembered what Bernice was 64 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: so excited about, but pretended not to know by scratching 65 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: his chin with his paw while staring up towards the ceiling. Hmm, 66 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: he said, with a smile. You said Bobby and I 67 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: could go see a movie when it was raining outside, 68 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: and that's today. Oh now I understand. All right, after 69 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: you finish your breakfast, I'll clean up a bit. You 70 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: can call Bobby and we will see if we can 71 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: arrange it. Okay, Papa Bernice said, eating her waffles as 72 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: fast as she could. Holding the phone to her ear, 73 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: She said, Papa, Bobby wants to go see the new 74 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Dinosaur movie today. I think that might be too scary. 75 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: What do you think? I think, if you are right, 76 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: little Bear, that movie would give me scary dreams. Papa 77 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: Bear said, why don't you and Bobby decide if you 78 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: want to go today, and Bobby's mother and I will 79 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: discuss which movie might be the most fun. Okay, Papa. 80 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: He sounds a bit disappointed. About the dinosaur movie, but 81 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: he still is excited about going. That sounds great, little Bear. 82 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: I'll call his mommy and we will try to work 83 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: it out for an afternoon show. 84 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: Thank you, Papa. 85 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: Um Bernice hesitating to ask her question, Yes, little Bear, 86 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: is it okay if I have some popcorn when we 87 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: watch the movie? 88 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: I think that will be okay. Will you share a 89 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: little with me? 90 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: Bernice thought for a moment and said, I guess I 91 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: can share some with you, Papa. 92 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: Thank you, little Bear. 93 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: That night, as Bernice did her bedtime routine, she said 94 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: to Papa Bear, thank you for taking us to the 95 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: movie today, Papa. We really liked it, and for the popcorn, 96 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: and for the games. I actually beat Bobby at pinball. 97 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad you liked the movie, little Bear. And I 98 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: really like how you had fun winning the games with 99 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: Bobby and made him feel good too. Coach Emily says 100 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: that that is being a good winner. Being a good 101 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: sport is a great trait, little Bear. I'm proud of you. 102 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: What did you like about the movie, little Bear, Papa 103 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: Bear asked as he handed Bernice some new soap for 104 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: her bath. I liked that it was super exciting. Without 105 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: being too scary. And I liked how one of the 106 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: heroes was a girl like me and she could do things. Papa, 107 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: you can do anything you set your mind to, Little Bear. 108 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: I thought she was kind and brave, just like you. 109 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: And did you notice how they all worked together, just 110 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: like you do on your swim team. 111 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: I think so. 112 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: Bobby said he liked the monster most of all, and 113 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: some of the loud parts. I saw that Bobby shared 114 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: some of his popcorn with you. That was nice of him. Yeah, 115 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: and his was sweet popcorn, too, Bernice said, with a 116 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: great big smile. After Bernice had her bath, brushed her teeth, 117 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: got into her favorite pajamas and did some stretches. She 118 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: got into her bed and pulled the covers up tight. 119 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Are you comfy, yes, Papa, and I am squeaky clean. 120 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: I like that soap you gave me. I smell like 121 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: bananas now, Bernice said, with a laugh. I'm glad you 122 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: liked it. Are your friends Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline ready 123 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: for bed? They said, they are ready, but they have 124 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: a request. What might that be, Papa Bear asked, with 125 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: his usual big smile. They said that they would sleep 126 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: better if you told them a short story. Okay, give 127 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: me a hug and a kiss, and I'll tell you 128 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: all a short story. 129 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 2: Thank you, Papa. 130 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: Once upon a time, in a world full of magic 131 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: and fun, there lived a brave little bear named Booboo. 132 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: She lived in a large castle at the edge of 133 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: a mystical forest. And in this forest there were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, 134 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: and all matter of insects, birds and animals. It was 135 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: a wonderful place. Her best friend was a young dragon 136 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: called Kai Kai, and they liked to play as much 137 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: as they could. The kingdom they lived in was full 138 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: of people who lived in the meadows, lived in the hills, 139 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: and those that lived in the forest, and they all 140 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: lived together in harmony. On this day, Bubu was up 141 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: early and out looking after the garden that her and 142 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: Kai Kai had planted earlier in the season. 143 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: Kai Kai was supposed to drop by to. 144 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: Help, but he sometimes liked to sleep in, especially when 145 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: the gardener was around. The gardener still wasn't that friendly 146 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: towards Kai Kai, but Bobou knew the gardener would warm 147 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: up to him eventually. As she was gathering water for 148 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: her plants, one of the leaders from the nearby village 149 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: came in with a gentleman that she hadn't seen before. 150 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: Good morning, Booboo, Miss Chisel said, I'm afraid we are 151 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: in need of some help and we are wondering if 152 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: you might be able to help us. This is mister Flounder, 153 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: and he comes from the village on the coast, and 154 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: he has come to ask you for help. 155 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: She continued. 156 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: Okay, good morning, miss Chisel, and nice to meet you, 157 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: mister Flounder. 158 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,479 Speaker 2: How can I help, Booboo asked. 159 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: Our village is by the seashore and is famous for 160 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: our inland beaches and shoreline. Many people come to visit 161 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: every summer. Perhaps you have visited, mister Flounder asked, I have, 162 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: I think, but I was still a baby then and 163 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: my family hasn't. 164 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: Been back since. On one of our inland. 165 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: Beaches, a blue baby whale has washed ashore. We don't 166 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: know why or how it got in so far, but 167 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: now the tide is out and the water won't be 168 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: deep enough for the whale to swim out until hours 169 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: from now, and we are scared that it might be 170 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: hurt if it stays in the muddy shallows for so long. Okay, 171 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: that sounds serious, but I'm not sure what I can do. 172 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: I could introduce you to my mother and she could 173 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: get a group of people together to help. We have 174 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: been trying to move the whale, but I'm afraid we 175 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: are too few and not strong enough, and there is 176 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: not enough time to get more people to the Muddy Shallows. 177 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: The whole kingdom has heard of your friendship with the dragon, 178 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: and uh they are a little frightened of dragons and 179 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: too scared to ask themselves, so they thought maybe you 180 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: could ask Kai Kai to come and help. Miss Chisel said, 181 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: finishing for mister Flounder. Oh, of course, and I'm sure 182 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: he would help. In fact, I can see him coming 183 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: right now, Bubu said, looking up at Kai Kai's shape 184 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: getting larger as he approached. After Kai Kai landed, being 185 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: careful not to upset the gardener, Bobo told him about 186 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: the plight of the baby whale, and he immediately offered 187 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: to help the best he could. We should leave immediately. 188 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: Kai Kai said. 189 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: As Bobu climbed on Kai Kai's back, she asked mister Flounder, 190 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: who seems a bit flustered at being so close to 191 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: a dragon, We will arrive at the Muddy Shallows long 192 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: before you. Is there someone waiting for us. Our village 193 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: elder Miss Finn will be there to help the whale. 194 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: And with that, Kai Kai leaped into the air and 195 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: flew in the direction of the coast. You do know 196 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: where to go, don't you, Kai Kai Bobo asked with 197 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: a smirk. Yes, I don't go there often because the 198 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: villagers are still unsure of me. But I do know 199 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: where to go. We should hurry, we don't want the 200 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: whale to be hurt. 201 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 2: Hang on tight. 202 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: We will be there in a flash, Kai Kai shouted 203 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: over the sound of his wings. As they picked up speed, 204 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: Kai Kai and Booboo flew over the meadow, the magical forest, 205 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: and along the river they would often swim in until 206 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: they came to the green, leafy trees that formed a 207 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: border to the flatlands of the coast. As they followed 208 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: a broad, slow moving river, they came to huge salt 209 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: water marshes, and then saw in the distance a wide 210 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: expanse of mud with a beautiful white sand shoreline just 211 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: in view. Beyond that. This certainly is beautiful. I don't 212 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: know why I haven't been here in so long. It's 213 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: a bit of a journey from the Kingdom, replied Kai Kai, 214 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: unless you fly on the back of a dragon. Bubu 215 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: said with a smile. Down there, I see a group 216 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: of people and the blue whale, said Kai Kai excitedly. 217 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: Kai Kai quickly swooped down toward the crowd, landing quickly 218 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: enough to startle some of the people who had come 219 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: to try and care for the whale. As Bubu climbed 220 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: off Kai Kai, she was approached by an older lady 221 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: walking with a cane. I you must be Bobu, and 222 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: this must be Kai Kai, said Miss Finn nervously as 223 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: Kai Kai looked on. We have heard so much about 224 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: the two of you. It's nice to meet you, Miss Fnn. 225 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: How might Kai Kai help you? We have prepared a 226 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: rope to start pulling the blue whale when there is 227 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: some water on the flats, but well, I'm sorry. I 228 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: wasn't sure mister Flounder would be successful, so we haven't 229 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: had a chance to. 230 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: Do more than that. The rope should be enough. 231 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: I can see that the tide is already coming in, 232 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: said Kai Kai. 233 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: Yes, it's coming. 234 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: In, but it will still take too much time for 235 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: us to help the whale, replied Miss Finn. If you 236 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: position the end of the rope toward the center of 237 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: the whale. I should be able to lift it high 238 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: enough and carry it to the mouth of the beach. 239 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: From there, I am. 240 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: Sure the whale will be able to slowly make it 241 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: to the sea, said Kai Kai. Are you sure you 242 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: can lift the whale. We want the whale to be 243 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: safe and not get hurt, asked Miss Finn nervously. Yes, 244 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: I can for that short distance. 245 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: That's great news. 246 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: I'll get everyone ready so they can hand you the 247 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: end of the rope, Miss Finn said, somewhat relieved. Are 248 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: you sure this is okay, Kai Kai? We want to 249 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: help the whale, but I don't want you to get 250 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: hurt either, whispered Boboo. I'm sure I will be okay, 251 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: replied Kai Kai confidently. If there was more water or 252 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: the ground was more solid, I'm sure the villagers could 253 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: manage on their own. The blue whale is very small 254 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: and I think not that heavy. It looks like a baby. 255 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: Its mother must be terribly worried, said Booboo, concerned. We 256 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: are ready when you are, yelled Miss Finn. Upon hearing that, 257 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: Kai Kai leaped to the air and slowly flapping his 258 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: wings so quickly that he looked like he was hovering 259 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: made his way over to where the villagers were holding 260 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: the rope. He then took the rope in his mouth 261 00:17:54,920 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: and slowly flew higher and then higher, until the little 262 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: whale started to lift off the ground. It looked to 263 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: everyone that perhaps the whale was too heavy, and the 264 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: mood started to turn from hopeful to disappointment. 265 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: But then, with a. 266 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: Big push upwards, Kai Kai started to fly with the 267 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: whale up and up and towards the area where the 268 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: whale could be closer to the sea. But not only 269 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: did he fly to that area, he flew past it 270 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: out towards the coast, where he could see a large 271 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: whale swimming in circles as close to shore as it 272 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: dared be. Once arriving, kai Ki gently set the baby 273 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: whale into the water, where it quickly swam off to 274 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: be with its mother. Kai Kai had saved the baby whale, 275 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: and with that, Papa Bear gave Bernice a kiss on 276 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: the forehead, adjusted her blanket, turned off her lamp, and 277 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: quietly whispered, I love you, little bear, good night, and 278 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: that's the end of our story. 279 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: Good night, Sleep tight.
