1 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: Hello friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. I would 2 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: like to thank Helena in London, Camden in Maine, Jacob, Jaden, Russman, Zion, 3 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: Jack Nolan, and Oliver and Gerard for their story ideas 4 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: involving dinosaurs. This is a story about Bernice's friend Bobby. 5 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: It is a rainy day and Bobby cannot go out 6 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: and play with Bernice at the park, so he needs 7 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: to find something to do at home. His mom suggests 8 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: a science project, and Bobby decides he'd like to build 9 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: a time machine dinosaurs and hopes maybe he can travel 10 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: back in time to see them. Bobby and the dinosaurs. 11 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: Bobby woke up before his alarm, jumped out of bed 12 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: and ran to the window, almost tripping because he forgot 13 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: to take off his socks before he went to bed 14 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: and they were dangling off his feet. Today is going 15 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: to be a great day, he thought. First, I will 16 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: have a great big breakfast of scrambled eggs and chocolate 17 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: with some milk, and then maybe a banana with peanut 18 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: butter on top. That is, if I can get to 19 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: the kitchen before Mom. She is always making things for 20 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 1: me to eat that she thinks are healthy and good. 21 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: We used to eat sweet cereal for breakfast before, she 22 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: said I I was too hyper and needed to reduce 23 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: my sugar content. Whoever heard of such a thing? Did 24 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: the dinosaurs worry about what they ate after breakfast? I 25 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: am going to race to the park to meet Bernice 26 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: so that we can spend the morning playing. Since school 27 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: has been out, I have only been able to show 28 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: her my dinosaurs a few times, and I think she 29 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: might be missing the opportunity, and she is my bestest friend. 30 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Looking out the window, he said out loud. Oh no, 31 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: it can't be true. It was raining, and it wasn't 32 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: just let's go out and jump in some puddles raining. 33 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: It was the kind of rain he knew his mom 34 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: would not let him go outside in. Did the dinosaur 35 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: stay inside because of a little rain? You okay, Bobby, 36 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: His mother yelled up the stairs to his bedroom. Yes, Mom, 37 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm okay. It's just that the whole summer is ruined. 38 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: Now my life is over and I'm bored. He yelled back. Okay, 39 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: as long as it's nothing serious, come on down for breakfast. 40 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: I've made oatmeal with quenwa and some crushed nuts on top. 41 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: Ough Bobby groaned, could this day get any worse? Bobby 42 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: jumped down each and every step, as he did most mornings, 43 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: but this time much slower, louder, and heavier. Did you 44 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: brush your teeth this morning? She asked? Sure, Mom, I 45 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: brushed them to death, he said, in a sad voice. 46 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: Are the ohs the same socks you wore yesterday? If 47 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: you don't change your socks, you are going to have 48 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: stinky toes and you wouldn't want that, would you, she asked, 49 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: while plugging her nose with her fingers. Sure, mom, Bobby 50 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: said quietly as he sat at the table. As she 51 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: placed his hot oatmeal on the table, Bobby's mom said, 52 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: I know you are disappointed that you can't play with 53 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: Bernice today. Her father sent me a note earlier saying 54 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: that she would be staying in today and working on 55 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: some science projects that she has planned for days like this. 56 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you can try the same. The weather forecast for 57 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: Bearville says that the rain will stop this evening, so 58 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: you should be able to go and play tomorrow. Okay, mom, 59 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: Bobby said, as he was thinking of various excuses to 60 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: not eat his breakfas, but he had thought of them 61 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: all before, and they didn't work then, so likely wouldn't work. 62 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Now you know, Bobby, maybe you could do a science 63 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: project from that kit we bought you at Christmas. You 64 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: could then compare what you discovered with Bernice. Oh, Mom, 65 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: Bernice wants to be a scientist. And you know I 66 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: don't like science anymore. Oh, his mother said with raised eyebrows. Yes, 67 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: I stopped liking science two months ago. Now I want 68 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: to be a paleontologist. I'm going to be an expert 69 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: on dinosaurs, and I will travel the world digging up 70 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: their bones. Bobby's mom wanted to tell him that paleontology 71 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: was a science, but didn't want to dampen his unlimited 72 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: enthusiasm on all things dinosaurs. Bobby slowly ate his breakfast, 73 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: hoping that his mother would run out of patience and 74 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: take his bowl away. She didn't. Ah, why does she 75 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: always win the patience game? He thought, Raw, here I come, Edmonton, Souris. 76 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: You are going to be my dinner. Oh no, I'm 77 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: not you, great big Rex. I am going to run 78 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: underneath this pillow so you can't get me, Bobby roared 79 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: as he was playing with his dinosaurs in the living room. Mom, yes, Bobby, 80 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: she said, I'm bored. Being bored is fine, Bobby. If 81 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: you are finished playing with your dinosaurs, you could try 82 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: reading a book. Coming into the kitchen where his mom 83 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: was working on some boring thing called a report, he asked, 84 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: can you tell me again what happened to the dinosaurs 85 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: and why they aren't chasing us down the street for food? Oh, Bobby, 86 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: you know more about dinosaurs than I do, but I 87 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: like how you say it. With a sigh, Bobby's mom recited, 88 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: dinosaurs ruled the world for about one hundred and forty 89 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: million years until, as you know, they suddenly disappeared. While 90 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: decades of research point to an asteroid impact crater at 91 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico as the end of the 92 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: dinosaur's reign sixty six million years ago, scientists weren't always 93 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: so sure what happened to them, and I am thankful 94 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: they aren't chasing us down the street for food. I 95 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: already chase you enough to get you to eat. Wouldn't 96 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: it be cool if we could go back in time 97 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: and see what it was really like, mom, and maybe 98 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: live there. It would be interesting to visit, But I'm 99 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: pretty happy with where and when we live. Now do 100 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: you think I could make a time machine? That could 101 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: be my project for the rest of the day, Bobby said, 102 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: getting more excited. Sure, Bobby, you could use your imagination 103 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: and make one. I think that's a great idea, his 104 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: mom said, while looking at the clock and her report. No, Mom, 105 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: a real one, well, Bobby's mom said, with a doubtful 106 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: look on her face, not sure what she could say 107 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: that would let her get back to writing her report. 108 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: It's possible, Mom, I really think it is, said Bobby, 109 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: getting even more excited, as he always does whenever he 110 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: is ready to start something he believes in. You did 111 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: say that anything is possible if I try hard enough, 112 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Bobby said, as he was jumping up and down on 113 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: his tippy toes. Yes I did, Bobby, his mom said, 114 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: remembering that she last told him that so he would 115 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: change his behavior in class. His teacher was getting frustrated 116 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: with him constantly bringing up dinosaur poop in every class discussion. 117 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: But first, I must study, how, Bobby said, as he 118 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: ran to his room where he kept all his books. 119 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: Bobby's room was always in a mess Books, toys, and 120 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: dinosaur models were everywhere. He would help his mom clean up, 121 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: but whenever he walked into his room, he was like 122 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: a little hurricane. It became instantly messy. I need to 123 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 1: build a fort, he thought, sitting amongst a pile of books, pillows, 124 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: and stinky socks. That way I have a hiding place 125 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: in case I go back in time and the dinosaur 126 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: see me. These pillows and blankets should do. Now let 127 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: me see, Bobby said aloud, as he started reading books 128 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: about wormholes with entrances and exits and particle accelerators. This 129 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: is hard work, he said, with a yawn. Bobby was 130 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: woken up by a fly buzzing around his face, and 131 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: as he opened his eyes and looked around, he jumped 132 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: up with fright. He was no longer in his bedroom, 133 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: inside the fort he built, but outside in tall grass, 134 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: surrounded by trees and many many insects, some as large 135 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: as his hands. Oh no, he thought, I must have 136 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: fallen asleep just as I was making my time machine. 137 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: But how do I get home in time to have 138 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: pizza for dinner? Bobby slowly walked out of the grassy 139 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: area that served as his bed and started to look around. 140 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: The area looked far more green than it did the 141 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: last time he was outside. With far more ferns than 142 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: he ever remembered seeing even the few times he visited 143 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: a tropical forest. He saw a few flowering plants that 144 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: he didn't recognize, and plenty of conifers that he did. 145 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: Go away, Go away, he said, as he showed away 146 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: huge mosquito like insects while jumping up and down to 147 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: get all the ants that were crawling over him off 148 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: his shoes. Bobby wasn't a big fan of insects, so 149 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: we started walking through the trees so that he wouldn't 150 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: be such a convenient target. Oh it's so hot, he thought. 151 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: I've only been awake a short time and I'm already sweating. 152 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: But this is so cool, he said out loud as 153 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: he continued to swat away mosquitos. This is like a 154 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: dream come true. Just then he heard a loud thump, 155 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: and another and another, and then with each thump, the 156 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: ground started to vibrate. The thumps got louder and louder, 157 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: and Bobby could see the water that collected on the 158 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: large leaves of the bushes start to vibrate. Uh oh, 159 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: he said out loud, I really really hope that a 160 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: Tyrannosaurus rex appeared just through the trees ahead of him. 161 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: Bobby screamed, yikes, I don't want to be your afternoon snack, 162 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: and as the t rex started walking slowly towards him, 163 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: Bobby turned around and ran as fast as he could. 164 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: He ran through the trees and the ferns and the 165 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: other plants he didn't know the names of, but Bobby 166 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: knew the t rex was a fast sprinter and there 167 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: would be no way he could win a race, so 168 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: he ran into a small grove of trees to hide, 169 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: hoping that the t rex couldn't see him. The giant 170 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:13,359 Speaker 1: t rex stopped nearby, making huge sniffing noises and angrily 171 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: growling through its mouth, but it couldn't find Bobby. Okay, 172 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: he can't see me. All I have to do is 173 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: be patient, he thought. The t rex will eventually get 174 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: tired of looking for me and find some other creature 175 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: to chase. Just be patient, he repeated to himself. Then 176 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: Bobby felt something breathing on his neck. He jumped and screamed, 177 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: and then it jumped and yelled, and they both stood 178 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: there staring at each other. Please please be the Alberta 179 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: dromus that I think you are, and not something like 180 00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: a hesperonicus, Bobby said outloud, Before or he could know 181 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: for sure, the little dinosaur ran off as quickly as 182 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: it could because standing right behind them was the Tea Rex. Yikes, 183 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: Bobby yelled, Bobby, what's going on up there? Are you 184 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: all right? Hurry up and come down for dinner. The 185 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: pizza is getting cold. I've been calling you for ten minutes, 186 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: Bobby's mother yelled. Huh, Bobby said as he opened his eyes. 187 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: Wrapped up in his blanket a ball of sweat, with 188 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: his favorite t Rex toy in his hand, Bobby jumped 189 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: down the stairs and walked into the kitchen for dinner. 190 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: So how is the time machine project coming? You must 191 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: be working hard, his mother asked, looking at his wet 192 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: head and soaking wet t shirt. I think I am 193 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: pretty happy with the time we live in now, he 194 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: said as he grabbed a piece of pizza. And that's 195 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: the end of this story. Good night, sleep tight.
