1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. This is

2
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: part two of the Princess of Prince Street. In this chapter,

3
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 1: Princess takes Ignatius on a tour of the town on

4
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: their way to her favorite spot, Victoria Park. Along the way,

5
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: she takes him to a restaurant by a large church

6
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: and introduces him to a friend. When they arrive at

7
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: the park, they meet some other dogs. Let's see what

8
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: happens the Princess of Prince Street Part two. I must

9
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: really apologize again for my friends. They really are nice

10
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: once you get to know them, Princess said, as they

11
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: were walking to the sidewalk. Well, it's no big deal.

12
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to have the chance to make a

13
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: new friend. Ignacious quietly replied, So where are we off to?

14
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: I thought I might take you on a walk to

15
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: the largest park in town, Princess said, with her tail wagging, which,

16
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: when she was as excited as she was now, caused

17
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: her whole body to shake. It's called Victoria Park and

18
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: it has paths through trees, lots of grassy fields to

19
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: roll on, tennis courts where we can watch the balls bounce,

20
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: an ice cream stand where sometimes you can get some

21
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: free ice cream and a splashing pool. Though the splashy

22
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: pool I don't usually visit until the very end, Princess added,

23
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: why at the end, asked Ignacious curiously, Well, we dogs

24
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: aren't actually allowed in the pool, humans only. Apparently. One

25
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: time a lady got upset at me once for not

26
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: reading some sign that said no dog's aloud. I just

27
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: wagged my tail because I haven't learned to read yet,

28
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: Ignacious smiled. So each time I go in and splash,

29
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: the kids are always overjoyed and laughing, but the adults

30
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: get scared and chase me away. Princess finished with a sigh. Ah. Yes,

31
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: humans can sometimes act pretty strange, said Ignacious. My owners

32
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: won't even let me roll around in the mud. They

33
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: don't like me to get dirty, like getting dirty is

34
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: a bad thing or something, added Princess laughed. As they

35
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: started walking towards the crosswalk. They stopped at the crosswalk.

36
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: They were, after all, very smart dogs and waited for

37
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: the walk signal before crossing the street. Then they looked

38
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: both ways before stepping on the street. Princess knew that

39
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: island drivers are always very nice, but it's wise to

40
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: be extra careful in case someone driving a car makes

41
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: a mistake. Their first stop was the seafood restaurant in

42
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: a small wooden house across from the park. The windows

43
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: were covered in all kinds of pictures of delicious food

44
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: like lobster, fish and shrimp. This is my favorite restaurant

45
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: on the street, said Princess, with more than a little

46
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: bit of drool dripping from her mouth. Their garbage cans

47
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: are by far the stinkiest and full of all kinds

48
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: of wonderful smelling, spoiled food. I'm not a seafood person myself,

49
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: said Ignacious as they both spent time smelling around the

50
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: garbage cans. But I do agree that this smells great.

51
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: Do the owners ever give you something to eat? No,

52
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: not usually, said Princess. But Tom, the waiter will sometimes

53
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 1: come outside on break and give us dogs some water

54
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: and left over biscuits. He likes to scratch the back

55
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: of my ears, which I like, Princess said, while finding

56
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: something particularly delicious smelling at the back of one garbage can,

57
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: Breaking herself from the scent, she said, are you ready

58
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: to continue on our way? Yes, let's go, said Ignacious,

59
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: tired of the smell of seafood, as they slowly made

60
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: their way up Prince Street. They walked past a number

61
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: of old wooden houses, said hello to Jester, a labrador

62
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: mix who was always tied outside under a tree by

63
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 1: the Pink apartment building, and stopped to smell a bag

64
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: that was dropped on the sidewalk. Ignatius gave it a

65
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: smell and said, yech tune a fish sandwich. Definitely not

66
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: my favorite, not mine either, Princess said, but I'm going

67
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: to pick up this bag and put it in the

68
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: garbage It helps to keep our neighborhood clean. Princess carefully

69
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: picked up the paper bag containing the sandwich and placed

70
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: it in the nearby garbage can. As they continued on

71
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: their way. It was a quiet time of day when

72
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: they were walking, as most humans were working in the

73
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: various offices that were scattered about the city. There wasn't

74
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: much traffic and only a few people walking on the sidewalks.

75
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: No one took much notice of the two dogs out

76
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: walking without their owners. As they passed the Great Church

77
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: that rose up high on the corner across from where

78
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: they were walking, Princess pointed out that the church often

79
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: put bowls full of water on the steps or dogs

80
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: that might be thirsty. Princess told Ignatius as they stopped

81
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: to look at the church about how many businesses put

82
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: bowls of water outside their door for dogs to drink

83
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: when they were out walking. Humans can be very kind, okay,

84
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Princess said, we are going to turn left here and

85
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: up this street that leads toward the park. It's one

86
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: of my favorite places in the city. Why is that,

87
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Ignacius asked, Well, in the summer, they close off the

88
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: street from traffic so that everyone, dogs included, can walk

89
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: safely on the street. She said, oh, this looks so nice.

90
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: I haven't experienced anything like this in Toronto, except for

91
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: maybe the boardwalk. Ignacius replied, our city is pretty special.

92
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Princess said, we have a boardwalk that follows the waterfront,

93
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: but I prefer to walk through the city as the

94
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: smells are so much more varied. The dogs walked up

95
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: towards Victoria Row, passing the sounds of the bowling Alley,

96
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the people sitting on park benches eating a snack, and

97
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: others working with their laptops outside a cafe. As they walked,

98
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: they approached a man sitting on the side of the street.

99
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: Princess beckoned towards Ignacius, whose attention had been diverted at

100
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: the sight of someone eating French fries at a table.

101
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: French fries were one of his favorite treats. Come, Ignacious,

102
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: I want to introduce you to one of my best

103
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: human friends. Whenever I go out for a walk, I

104
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: always stop and say hello to Simon. Princess barked a

105
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: hello to Simon, who responded with a scratch and rub

106
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: of her head. He then pulled a surprise from his jacket,

107
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: a dog biscuit, proceeded to break it into, giving one

108
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: half to Princess and the other half to Ignacious. I

109
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: often sit here with Simon when I am out walking,

110
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: she said to Ignacious. He doesn't seem to have many friends,

111
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: and he sits here all day, so I like to

112
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: come and spend time with him as much as I can.

113
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: That's nice of you, said Ignacius. Why doesn't he have

114
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: many friends? I'm not really sure, Princess said, with a

115
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: sad expression in her eyes. I know he sits here

116
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: all day, and he has said he has nowhere to go.

117
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Being a dog, I can't really help him, but we

118
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: are friends, and me sitting here with him seems to

119
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: make him happier. Ignatius sat with Simon for a while,

120
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: watching people walk by, taking short naps and enjoying lots

121
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: of rubs. After a while, Princess got up, stretched, gave

122
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: Simon a lick on the nose, and said to Ignatius,

123
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: we should continue on our way before it gets too late.

124
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: If we stay too long sitting with Simon, I won't

125
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: be able to show you the park before I have

126
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: to go home. Ignatius said goodbye to Simon, and onward

127
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: they went. They walked by a theater, a library, and

128
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: an art gallery. Both Princess and Ignacius loved the painting

129
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: of a flying dog and a rabbit in the art

130
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: galley's window. They continued their walk past a coffee shop

131
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: with the strange smells of roasting beans, sneezed a little bit,

132
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: and continued until they came to a large group of

133
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: concrete buildings just across the street from a small park.

134
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: We don't want to walk in there amongst those tall buildings,

135
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: warned Princess. Why, asked Ignacius, I mean they aren't very attractive,

136
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: but it seems pretty safe and clean. Well, the security

137
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: guard that walks around the outside of the building, seems

138
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: cranky all the time and doesn't like seeing dogs very often,

139
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: she continued, while keeping an eye out for the security guard.

140
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: One time, when I was out for a walk with

141
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: my owners, he got upset at them for taking me

142
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: through the buildings as we were on our way to

143
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: the park. I didn't understand what my owner and the

144
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: security guard said, but we haven't walked through there since. Well,

145
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: it's best to avoid it. Then, he replied, I don't

146
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: want to make any one upset, especially since we are

147
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: having so much fun on this sunny day. And they

148
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: continued to walk a short way side by side until

149
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: they got to the park. Wow, this really is a

150
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: nice view, Ignatius said, as they walked along the board

151
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: walk that surrounded the park. Yes, my owners sometimes take

152
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: me for walks along here at sunset. It's very beautiful.

153
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: The harbor reminds me a lot of Toronto without the

154
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: tall buildings, of course, Ignacius said, as he looked out

155
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: over the calm water. Yes, there aren't many tall buildings

156
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: in this city, Princess said with a smirk. There's the

157
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: main field of the park over there, and the tennis

158
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: court and the ice cream stand and the woods. Let's

159
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: run over, she said excitedly. Ignacious and Princess quickly ran

160
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: across the street, looking both ways, first out of habit

161
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: since there were no cars allowed in this part of

162
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: the park, and made their way to the main field

163
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: to play. As they started to chase each other, roll

164
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: on their backs, jump up and down, and generally act goofy,

165
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: they saw in the distance a group of dogs approaching.

166
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: It was Sarge and the gang. Ignacious stopped playing and said,

167
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: uh oh, I hope they are not angry at me

168
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: for some reason. No, don't be silly, Princess said, with

169
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: a half smile. Sarge trotted over first and gave Princess

170
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: the customary sniff greeting and walked stiffly towards Ignacious. Ignacious

171
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: was nervous and expected the worse. Sarge was such a

172
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: big dog and looked so serious. Would he be angry

173
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: at me? He thought? Now, look here, Ignacious, Sarge said,

174
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: I have something I want to say to you. Ignacious

175
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: swallowed hard and got ready to run. I want to

176
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: apologize for being so unfriendly earlier today. I made a

177
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: mistake and I was wrong to judge you without first

178
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: getting to know you. Sarge said in an apologetic tone.

179
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: Just then, Lulu and Pepper came over, tails wagging and said,

180
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: in almost unison, Yeah, do you think you can forgive

181
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: us and give us a chance to be your friend? Yeah? Micky,

182
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Lucy and Otto said together, can we hang out together

183
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: and play in the field. Ignacious, visibly relieved, said of course,

184
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, and they all played until it

185
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: was time to get home before their own nurs did.

186
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: And that's the end of this chapter. Good night, sleep tight,

187
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: h
