1 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. This story 2 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: is the second part of our story about Princess and Templeton, 3 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: the mouse that Princess found in her house. 4 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: Princess was bored. 5 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: Of being inside all the time for the past two 6 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: weeks and went exploring in her house. She found a 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: door that wasn't usually open and decided to go and 8 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: check it out. She met Templeton and knew she had 9 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: to try and help him find a way out. Let's 10 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: see what plan they. 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: Came up with. 12 00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: Princess meets Templeton, Part two. Princess was pacing back and 13 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 1: forth in the basement. This was how she did most 14 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: of her best thinking by moving her body. Templeton sat 15 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: on his back legs, getting dizzy, watching Princess walk in circles. 16 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: They had been trying to come up with the best 17 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: way to get Templeton out of the basement and back outside. 18 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: The hole he had come through into the basement seemed 19 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: to have gotten. 20 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: Much smaller, though. 21 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: Princess figured that the cookies that Templeton had found in 22 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: the basement might have caused him to grow in size. 23 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: Dogs are good at digging. Maybe you could dig a 24 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: hole in the basement floor, then tunnel to the outside. 25 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: I could help with direction because my eyes are so 26 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: good in the dark, suggested Templeton. M I'm not sure 27 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: that digging a tunnel underneath the house is the most 28 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: practical idea. Princess replied, well, how about I just run 29 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: upstairs with you and hide somewhere until you go outside again. 30 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: That might work, except I have no idea when that 31 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: might be. And what if my humans see you. We 32 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: have no idea how they might react to seeing a 33 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: mouse in the house. I certainly wouldn't want them to 34 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: chase you, right, humans can get pretty crazy when they 35 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: see a mouse in the house. One time I sneaked 36 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: in the front door of a house across town and 37 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: a human saw me. Why I never heard such loud 38 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: screaming in my life. You would think there was a 39 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: tiger in the house instead of just little old me 40 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: looking for some crumbs to eat. Princess stopped walking and said, 41 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: with her up and eyes wide open, indicating that she 42 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: had a great idea. I have an idea. You might 43 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: be just small enough to fit into my mouth. Ah, 44 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Templeton said, not entirely liking where this idea might be going. 45 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: You could climb into my mouth, and you could just 46 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: stay there until the next time my humans take me 47 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: out for a walk. It might be just a few 48 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: hours or so. I can hide three tennis balls in there, 49 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: so I think you should have no trouble. 50 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: Fitting. 51 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Then when I go over to the tree in the 52 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: dark to ah do my business, I'll simply let you 53 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: out of my mouth and you can run off and 54 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: be free, said Princess, convinced she had found a solution. 55 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: I like the last part. 56 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Run off and be free. But Princess, I'm not so 57 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: sure about being inside your mouth. You might have germs. 58 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: No offense, I suppose, Princess said, with some disappointment. Princess, 59 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: come have a treat yelled one of her humans. Oh no, 60 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: my humans seemed to be done talking at their laptops 61 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: at the kitchen table. Stay here, I'll come back to 62 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: help you as soon as I can. Okay, I promise. Okay, Princess, 63 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: thank you for helping me and for being my friend. 64 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: It's my pleasure, Templeton, I always like helping my friends. 65 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: Princess quickly ran up the basement stairs and quietly went 66 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: out the basement door, making sure the door was still open. 67 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: A little bit so that she could come back later 68 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: to help Templeton. Looking for her on the second floor 69 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: were her Hu humans with a bunch of her favorite treats, 70 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: apricot and pomegranate shoes. Princess made sure that she saved 71 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: some for later to share with Templeton. Her humans made dinner, 72 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: fed her. 73 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: And took her for a short walk. 74 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: They seemed more tired than normal and just took her 75 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 1: for a walk around their small backyard. Can't we even 76 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: leave our backyard, Princess thought? As it got dark. They 77 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: gave her a kiss on the head and said good 78 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: night as she lay at the foot of their bed. 79 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: They certainly are taking a long time to get to 80 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: sleep tonight, Princess thought. Both of her humans seemed to 81 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: toss and turn and weren't yet making those snorting noises 82 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: they usually made when they were fast asleep. I hope 83 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: Templeton is okays, thought. Princess knew she had to be patient, 84 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: so she waited and waited until she heard the snorts 85 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: and the heavy breathing of her humans, which told her 86 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: that they were fast asleep. So Princess very very quietly 87 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: tiptoed out of their bedroom went to grab the treats 88 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: she had saved for Templeton and went slowly down the 89 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: stairs to the first floor. She quickly went to the 90 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: basement door, and luckily it was still open, so she 91 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: went down the stairs to the basement. Templeton, Are you 92 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: still here, she whispered Templeton. Why are you whispering? Templeton asked, oh, 93 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: there you are. I don't know why I am whispering, 94 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: as I'm pretty sure no one can hear me way 95 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: down here, Princess said, with a smirk, it's like we 96 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: are two spies meeting at night, Templeton laughed. While I 97 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: was waiting for my humans to go to sleep, I 98 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: suddenly had an idea. Many of my best ideas come 99 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: when I'm not really trying. Since the stairs might be 100 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: hard for you to climb, why don't you climb on 101 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: my back and I will carry you upstairs. Then we 102 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: can slowly go upstairs together to make sure that my 103 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: humans are still asleep. If they are, I can try 104 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: to open the back door, and you can be free 105 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: to go wherever you. 106 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: Want to go. What do you think it sounds great? 107 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 2: Are you sure it will work? 108 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: They won't hear us Templeton asked, I think it'll work, 109 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: but let's try unless you want to wait. But to 110 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: be honest, I don't know how much longer the door 111 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: to the basement will be open, and if it is closed, 112 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can open it again. So 113 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: Princess laid on the floor and Templeton climbed on her back. 114 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: Go slowly, Princess, I don't want to fall off, Templeton asked, 115 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: I will. Princess slowly made her way up the stairs. 116 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: With Templeton on her back. They crept through the door 117 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: and stopped to listen for any noise. I think I 118 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: hear something, Templeton whispered, a little bit frightened. What is it, 119 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: Princess said, with concern. Sounds like a lion. You don't 120 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: have a lion in your house, do you? No, silly, 121 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: that's one of my humans sleeping. They always make those 122 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: loud noises when they sleep, Princess said with reely. 123 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: Phew. 124 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad I've never met a lion, but I think 125 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: I would be scared of it if I did. Okay, 126 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: let's just walk upstairs quietly and make sure that they 127 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: are still asleep. When they arrived at the top of 128 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: the stairs. Princess slowly and quietly walked into the bedroom 129 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: with Templeton on her back to make sure everyone was 130 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: still asleep. Eee, Templeton squealed, there's another dog with a 131 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: mouse on its back here, sh that's us in the mirror. 132 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Silly the humans like to look at themselves in these large, 133 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: tall mirrors, whispered Princess. Whew, Templeton said with relief, this 134 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: is far more exciting than I thought it was going 135 00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: to be. Don't make any more noise, please. Seeing that 136 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: her humans were still fast asleep, Princess walked quickly down 137 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: the stairs and into the kitchen to the back door 138 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: that she knew how to open. Are you sure you 139 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: can open this door, Templeton asked, yes, don't worry. This 140 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: is my biggest secret. 141 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: Whenever my humans are. 142 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: Away at work, I get to go outside and play 143 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: with the gang. That is, as long as it's sunny. 144 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: What happens if it rains, Well, the last time I 145 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: went out in the rain, I got really muddy, and 146 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: my humans don't seem to like it when I play 147 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: in the mud and then come in and rub myself 148 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: all over their couch. That's strange. Yeah, they are. 149 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: Weird that way. 150 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: Hang on, Princess said, as she jumped up and pulled 151 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: down on the latch, opened the door to the backyard, 152 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: walked out onto the back porch, where they both felt 153 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: the fresh, cool air. 154 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: Wow. Thank you very. 155 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: Much, Princess, Templeton said, as he took a big breath 156 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: of air and climbed down off Princess's back. Would you 157 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: like to come with me and explore all my favorite places? 158 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: I would love to, Templeton, but I think I better 159 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: get back inside before my humans wake up. 160 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: I don't want them to worry about me. 161 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: But when I do go outside alone, the gang and 162 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: I often meet up at the park at the bottom 163 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: of Prince Street and play. You are more than welcome 164 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: to join us. We often go around sniffing garbage cans too. 165 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: That sounds like a great idea. 166 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: Let's do that. 167 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: You can show me where you like to go, and 168 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: I can share with you where I like to go. Well, 169 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: I better be off. Thank you for everything, Princess. It 170 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: was so nice to get to know you and make 171 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: a new friend.
