1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. In this story,

2
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: there is a sea monster that lives on an island

3
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: of rocks. The sailors talk about how big and frightening

4
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: he is, but the dragon is not at all unkind.

5
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: He goes out after a storm to see if anybody

6
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: needs any help and finds a small boy floating on

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: a plank. How can he help him? The good sea Monster.

8
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: On an island of rocks out in the ocean lived

9
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: a sea monster. His head was large, and when he

10
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: opened his mouth it looked like a cave. It had

11
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: been said that he was so huge that he could

12
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: swallow a ship, and that on stormy nights he sat

13
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: on the rocks and the flashing of his eyes could

14
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: be seen for miles around. The sailor spoke of him

15
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: with fear and trembling. But as you can see, the

16
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: sea monster had really been a friend to them, showing

17
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: them the rock in the storm by flashing his eyes.

18
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: But because he looked so frightening to their eyes, all

19
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: who saw him thought he must be a cruel monster.

20
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: One night there was a terrible storm, and the monster

21
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: went out into the ok to see if any ship

22
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: was wrecked In the night and if possible, help anyone

23
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: that was floating about. He found one little boy floating

24
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: about on a plank. His name was Coco, and when

25
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: he saw the sea monster, he was afraid. But when

26
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Coco saw that the monster did not try to harm him,

27
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: he climbed on the monster's back and he took him

28
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: to the rocky island. Then the monster went back into

29
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: the sea, and Coco wondered if he were to be

30
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: left alone. But after a while the monster returned and

31
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: opened his mouth very wide. Coco ran when he saw

32
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: the huge mouth, for he thought the monster intended to

33
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: swallow him, But as the monster did not follow him,

34
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: Koko went back. The monster opened his mouth again, and

35
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Koko asked, do you want me to go inside? And

36
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: the monster nodded his head. It must be for my

37
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: own good, said Koko, or he could easily swallow me

38
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: if he wished, without waiting for me to walk in.

39
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: So Koko walked into the big mouth and down a

40
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: dark passage. But what the monster wanted him to do

41
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: he could not think. He could see very faintly now,

42
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: and after a while he saw a stove, a chair

43
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: and a table. I will take these out said Koko,

44
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: for I am I can use them. He took them

45
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: to a cave on the island, and when he returned,

46
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: the monster was gone, But he soon returned, and again

47
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: he opened his mouth. Coco walked in, this time without waiting,

48
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: and he found boxes and barrels of food, which he

49
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: stored away in the cave. When Coco had removed everything,

50
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: the sea monster lay down and went to sleep. Coco

51
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: cooked his dinner, and then he woke the monster and said,

52
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: dinner is ready. But the monster shook his head and

53
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: plunged into the ocean. He soon returned with his mouth

54
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: full of fish. Then Coco knew that but the monster

55
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: had brought all the things from the sunken ship for him,

56
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: and he began to wish that the monster could talk,

57
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: for he no longer feared him. I wish you could talk, Koko, said,

58
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I can. The monster replied, no one has ever wished

59
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: it before. An old witch changed me into a monster

60
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: and put me on this island where no one could

61
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: reach me. And the only way I can be restored

62
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: to my original form is for someone to wish it.

63
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I wish it, said Koco. You have had your wish,

64
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: said the monster, and I can talk, But for me

65
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: to become a man, someone else must wish it. The

66
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: monster and Coko lived for a long time on the island.

67
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: He took Coco for long rides on his back, and

68
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: when the waves were too high and Coco was afraid,

69
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: the monster would open his mouth and Koko would crawl

70
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: inside and be brought back safe to the island. One night,

71
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: after a storm, Koko saw something floating on the water,

72
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: and he jumped on the monster's back and they swam

73
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: out to it. It turned out to be a little

74
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: girl about Koko's age, who had been on one of

75
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: the wrecked vessels, and they brought her to the island.

76
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: At first, she was afraid of the monster, but when

77
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: she learned that he had saved Koko as well as

78
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: her and brought them all the food, she became as

79
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: fond of him as Coco was. I wish he were

80
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: a man, she said. One day, as she sat on

81
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: his back with Coco ready for a sail, splash went

82
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: both children into the water, and there in place of

83
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: the sea monster was an old man. He caught the

84
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: children in his arms and brought them to the shore.

85
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: But what will we do for food? Now that you

86
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: are a man, asked Coco, we shall want for nothing now,

87
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: replied the old man. I am a sea god and

88
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: can do many things. Now that I have my own

89
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: form again, we will change this island into a beautiful garden.

90
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: And when the little girl and you are grown up

91
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: in married, you shall have a castle, and all the

92
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: sea gods and nymphs will care for you. You will

93
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: never want for anything again. I will take you out

94
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: on the ocean on the back of my dolphins. Cocoa

95
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: and the little girl lived on the enchanted island, and

96
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: all the things that the old sea god promised came true.

97
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: And that is the end of our story. Sleep tight,

98
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: no
