1 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Have you 2 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: ever eaten too much and felt sick afterwards? In this story, 3 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: Bernice has done just that. Bernice, Bobby, and Gertrude brought 4 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: some of their Halloween candy to school and shared with 5 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: each other. Bernice liked Bobby's toffee so much she couldn't 6 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: stop eating it. Now she doesn't feel so well. Bernice 7 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: has a tummy ache. Mama Bear opened the front door 8 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: of their home patiently waiting as Bernice slowly walked in 9 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: and sat down in the entryway to take off her sneakers. 10 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Why are you home so early, little bear, Papa Bear said, 11 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: as he walked down the hallway from the kitchen where 12 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: he was just starting to make a fresh batch of cookies. 13 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to head back to the office, Mama Bear 14 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: whispered to Papa Bear as she closed the front door. Hi, Papa, 15 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm home early today, Bernice said quietly. I see that. 16 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Let's get your stinky sneakers and jacket off and go 17 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: to the kitchen to see what the problem is. My 18 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: sneakers aren't stinky, Papa, I checked today before I put 19 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: them on. Okay, well, maybe you just have stinky toes, 20 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Papa Bear said, smiling Papa walking into the kitchen, Papa 21 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Bear said, why don't you have a seat and tell 22 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: me why you are home early today, Little Bear. Well, 23 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: I have a bad tummy ache, and my art teacher 24 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: sent me to see the school nurse. She said, I 25 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: didn't have a fever and likely didn't need to see 26 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: a doctor, but out of an abundance of caution, she 27 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: was going to send me home for the rest of 28 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: the day. I don't know what abundance of caution means, 29 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: but they called Mama and she came to pick me up. 30 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: Bernice said quietly. The nurse just wants to be extra 31 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: careful because she wants you and all the other kids 32 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: to be healthy. And well, how do you feel now, 33 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: Papa Bear asked, as he touched Bernice's forehead. You don't 34 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: feel hot, but I think I will check your temperature 35 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: again just in case. I feel better, Papa, but my 36 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: tummy still hurts a little bit. Papa Bear went to 37 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: the drawer and took out the thermometer to scan Bernice's 38 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: forehead and then asked, I wonder what made your tummy ache? 39 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: What did you eat today? Well, Bernice said with a 40 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: guilty look on her face, and Papa Bear said with 41 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: a smile while trying to look serious. Well, Papa, at 42 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: break time, Bobby brought out his Halloween candy and I 43 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: brought out my Halloween candy, and we were going to trade. 44 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: So I had one of his candies and it was 45 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: a soft toffee, and I just love soft toffees. And 46 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: then what happened, Well, we just kept eating candy, Papa. 47 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Gertrude came over and she shared some of her candy too. 48 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: She had some chocolate covered chips which were so delicious, 49 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: and well, I guess we just forgot to stop. We 50 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: kept eating and eating. We ate a lot of candy, Papa, 51 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: and a couple classes later, I started to get sleepy 52 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: and my tummy started hurting. How are Bobby and Gertrude? 53 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Bobby went home to Papa, But I don't think Gertrude 54 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: felt that bad. She's a slow eater, so maybe she 55 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: didn't have as much. Sighing, Papa Bear said, what did 56 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: Mama and I say about Halloween candy? I know, Papa, 57 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: you and Mama always talk about having one treat and 58 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: eating fruits and veggies and stuff, but it was just 59 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: so good and it was hard to stop. You learned 60 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: something valuable today, little bear? What's that? Papa? Laughing? Papa 61 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: Bear said, too many treats is not good for your tummy. 62 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: Can you help me feel better, Papa? I don't want 63 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: my tummy to hurt anymore. Well, I'm going to check 64 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: your temperature again and we'll try to make sure it's 65 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: just a tummy ache. First, I'll give you some water 66 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: to drink, and then closer to dinner, i'll make you 67 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: some warm, weak tea and dry toast. No medicine to 68 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: make me feel instantly better, Papa, Bernice said sadly, no, 69 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: little bear. I think we will start with what my 70 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: mama always gave me, and then if you don't get better, 71 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: we will call our doctor. Are those cookies you are baking, Papa? 72 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: They look yummy? Yes, I think they will taste yummy too, 73 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: But I think it's best if we don't have any 74 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: treats for a few days. Taking a drink of her water, 75 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: Bernice let out a sigh and said, okay, Papa. That evening, 76 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Bernice had a soapy bath, brushed her teeth, got into 77 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: her pajamas, and crawled into her bed, pulling the covers 78 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: up tight. How are you feeling after your soapy bath? 79 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: I feel much better, Papa, but I do feel a 80 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: little bit hungry. I'm sorry, little bear. I don't like 81 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: when you feel hungry or uncomfortable, but it is a 82 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: good sign. When your body tells you it wants to eat. 83 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: It can mean that things are working well and you 84 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: aren't sick. Can I have a big breakfast in the morning, Papa, 85 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: You certainly can, But no treats tomorrow. Okay, I will 86 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: never ever eat that much candy ever, ever again, Bernie said, 87 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: with a yawn. Never is a long time, little Bear. 88 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: We all make mistakes. What is important is to try 89 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: our best to learn from them. I can still have 90 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: some of your cookies, right, Papa. I would be sad 91 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: if I couldn't have your cookies. Yes, little Bear, I 92 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: hope we can always enjoy cookies and milk together. Now, 93 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: are you comfy, yes, Papa, and I am super squeaky clean. 94 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: I used that special rose scented soap that Mama has, 95 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: Bernie said, you did, did you. I'll be sure to 96 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: tell Mama Bear that her fancy soap is making you 97 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: squeaky clean. Papa Bear, said, laughing, maybe I should use 98 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: it too. You can't use this soap, Papa, it's for girls, 99 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: Bernice said, with a laugh. I think I can use 100 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: whatever kind of soap I want. Isn't that fair? Bernice 101 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: thought for a minute and said, yeah, I guess, Soapapa. 102 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: Are your friends Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline ready for bed? 103 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: They said, they are ready, But I think we all 104 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: need hugs before our story. I love giving hugs. Little bear, 105 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: four big bear hugs coming up. Now, close your eyes, 106 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: take some slow, deep breaths. Then I will tell you 107 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: a short story. Once upon a time, in a world 108 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: full of men, magic, and fun, there lived a brave 109 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: little bear named Booboo. She lived in a large castle 110 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: at the edge of a mystical forest. And in this 111 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: forest there were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all manners of insects, 112 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: birds and animals. It was a wonderful place. Her best 113 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: friend was a young dragon called Kai Kai, and they 114 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: liked to play as much as they could. The kingdom 115 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: they lived in was full of people who lived in 116 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: the meadows, those who lived in the hills, and those 117 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: that lived in the forest, and they all lived in harmony. 118 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: On this day, Booboo, Kai Kai and Bluebell were at 119 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: Bixie's place, hearing old stories, drinking some tea, and eating 120 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: some sweet hard biscuits. Bixy, these biscuits are the absolute best. 121 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: Is there a chance you might share the recipe? Boo 122 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: Boo asked, I'm sure if my father starts eating these, 123 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: he might never stop. I'll have to write it down first. 124 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: Despite all the books and papers I have around here, 125 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: many of the foods I make are from recipes that 126 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: my grand gnome told me years ago. Most have never 127 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: been written down. Bixie said that sounds like a fun project. 128 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: You can make the food and we can write down 129 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: the instructions on how to make it. Blue Bell said, 130 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: only if we get to eat what is cooked, laughed 131 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: Kai Kai. I know I could eat these biscuits until 132 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: they were coming out of my ears, Blue Bell said. 133 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: She munched on another and took a drink of tea 134 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: from the special cask Bixi prepared for her. Bluebell was 135 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: a unicorn and couldn't pick up things in the same 136 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: way Kai Kai and Boobo could. Ha ha. Wouldn't that 137 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: be something that reminds me of an old tale, Bixi said, 138 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: enjoying the fact that his treats were being enjoyed by 139 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: his young friends. Oh, please share the story, Bixy Booboo asked. 140 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,479 Speaker 1: It's in a book around here somewhere, Bixi said, rummaging 141 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: through his library. Oh, I know you have to leave 142 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: for home soon, so I'll just tell you a short 143 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: version from memory. Once upon a time there was a 144 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: man from one of the far away lands who dug 145 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: up a big earthenware cask in his field. How this 146 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: cask got buried in the field no one knows. But 147 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: he took it home with him and asked his wife 148 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: to help him clean it out. First, he scrubbed and scrubbed, 149 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: but couldn't make it clean. Then his wife started brushing 150 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: the inside of the cask, but she could not make 151 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: it clean either. Oh, she muttered to herself, it's this 152 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: old brush. If I had a new brush, I am 153 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: sure it would become clean. And just then the cask 154 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: suddenly began to fill itself with brushes. No matter how 155 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: many were taken out, others kept on taking their place. 156 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: So the wife and the man started a brush selling shop, 157 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: and they managed to live quite well from the sale 158 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: of all these brushes. One day, the man lamented about 159 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: how no matter how many brushes as they sold, they 160 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: didn't seem to have enough money. That night, when his 161 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: wife was counting their money from the day's sales of brushes, 162 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: a coin fell into the cask by mistake. At once, 163 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: the brushes disappeared and the cask began to fill itself 164 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: with money. Now the wife and husband became very rich, 165 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: where the cask continued to produce as much money as 166 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: they could ever imagine. Now after a long time, since 167 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: there was no time to do anything else, the husband 168 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: grew hungry and weary of shoveling money out of the cask. 169 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: So much money was being shoveled that he had little 170 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: time for anything else, and what was often the case 171 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: at this time, he just couldn't be content with what 172 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: he already had. As he took a break from his 173 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: shoveling and his wife took a break from her counting, 174 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: he lamented that he would give this cask of money 175 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: for a simple biscuit. If only this cask would keep 176 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: producing biscuits, I would not hear this grumbling in my tummy. 177 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: The next day, after breakfast, when she was cleaning up 178 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: their mess on their new grand kitchen table. A crumb 179 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: from a biscuit fell into the cask, and the cask 180 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: stopped producing money and hard biscuits started pouring out. But 181 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: this time, no matter if they took the biscuits out 182 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: or stopped, they kept coming out. After a time, the 183 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: biscuits overflowed their home, coming out of their windows, and 184 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: from the weight of so many biscuits, the cask broke 185 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: and the man and his wife became just as poor 186 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: as before. I think you just made that up off 187 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: the top of your head, Boo Boo laughed. Oh, I'm 188 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: sure there was an old tail wrapped up in that 189 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: silliness somewhere, Bixy exclaimed. Now grab another biscuit and off 190 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: you go, before your parents start wondering why you aren't 191 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: home for supper after all these biscuits. I'm not sure 192 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: I can make room in my tummy for more food, 193 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Bluebell said, I know I have room, Kai Ki said, 194 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: rubbing his belly, Laughing and with full tummies, they all 195 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: started their short journeys home, and with that, Papa Bear 196 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: gave Bernice a kiss on the forehead, adjusted her blanket, 197 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: making sure that her friends were comfy too. Turned off 198 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: her lamp and quietly whispered, I love you, little bear, 199 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: and that's the end of our story. Good Night, sleep tight.
