1 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Are you 2 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: ready for Halloween? Bernice is, and she can't wait to 3 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: go trick or treating. When Bernice gets home from school, 4 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: she shows Papa Bear her costume and they talk about 5 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: her day at school before getting ready to head out 6 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: trick or treating. After they come back home and get 7 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: ready for bed, Bernice asks for a spooky story as 8 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: Papa Bear tucks her in. Bernice goes trick or treating. 9 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Bernice slowly opened the front door to her house and 10 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: walked in as quietly and as carefully as she could. 11 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: The only sound that you could hear as she came 12 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: into the front foyer was the sound of her belly gurgling, 13 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: ouzed by the sweet smell of baked cookies coming from 14 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: the kitchen, and her quiet giggles because of what she 15 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: was going to do. She walked slowly on her tippytoes 16 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: down the hallway while Mama Bear quietly closed the front door. 17 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: As she finally got to the kitchen where Papa Bear 18 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: was making cookies, she raised her arms up in front 19 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: of her, and, not being able to wait any longer, 20 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: quickly jumped into the kitchen and yelled boo ah, Papa 21 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: Bear yelled as he jumped in the air. There was 22 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: a ghost in my kitchen, Papa Bear yelled, pretending to 23 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: be very very scared. I hope you are a friendly 24 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: ghost because you look very spooky. Taking off the top 25 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: to her ghost costume, Bernie said, Papa, are you okay? 26 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: It's me. You don't need to be scared. You so 27 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: you are a friendly ghost. Then I didn't really believe 28 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: in ghosts until today, little Bear. I'm sorry, Papa. It's 29 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: a really great costume, isn't it. I won the prize 30 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: for the spookiest costume in the contest at school today, 31 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: and Mama Bear picked me up from school so that 32 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: I could come home and scare you and Papa. Look, 33 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: I got a whole bunch of candy, Bernie said, so 34 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: she held out a paper bag full of all kinds 35 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: of different treats. She is having a great day. Mama 36 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: Bear said, well, it's a great costume, little Bear. You 37 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: had me convinced that ghosts were real. Umm. Are you 38 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: going to share some of those chocolates you got with 39 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: Papa Bear? He asked, smiling. I guess since I was 40 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: so spooky, I should share some of my chocolate. Those 41 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: cookies certainly smell yummy. Papa, What kind are they? They 42 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: are called spider cookies. Why don't you have a seat 43 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: and I will give you some spiders and milk. Eating 44 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: spiders sounds kind of fun, I guess, laughed Bernice. As 45 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: she was eating her cookies, she said to Papa Bear, 46 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: guess what Bobby's costume was this year? You will never 47 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: be able to guess. Mama Bear said, hmm, let me see. 48 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: Was he dressed as a witch? No? He Wasn't you 49 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: get three guesses and that was your first one? What 50 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: do I get if I guess correctly? Bernice thought for 51 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: a moment, Mmm, I could give you another Halloween candy? 52 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: Sounds good? Okay? Was Bobby dressed up like a spooky skeleton? No, 53 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: but that's getting warmer. I guess. Oh, I know what 54 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: he was. Did he dress up as a vampire? Nope? 55 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: He dressed up as a dinosaur. Oh, Papa, I'm afraid 56 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: you didn't win the chocolate, but I'm going to give 57 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: another chocolate to you and Mama because I love you 58 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: and because I am a good winner. Thank you, little Bear. 59 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: I would never have guessed that Bobby would get dressed 60 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: up as a dinosaur for Halloween. Papa Bear laughed as 61 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: he went upstairs to get changed. Once you finish up 62 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: your cookies and milk, you and Papa can get ready 63 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: to go outside and do some trick or treating, and 64 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: then you can come back and have a later dinner. 65 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: How does that sound, Bernice, Mama Bear asked, that sounds 66 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: it's like fun, Bernie said, getting excited. I haven't gone 67 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: out for treats in what feels like a whole year. 68 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 1: I'm going to put on my witch's hat and hand 69 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: out candy to the kids while you and Papa are 70 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: outside visiting the neighbors. Putting on her tall, pointy hat, 71 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: Mama Bear asked, do I look spooky? Bernice? Sure, Mama, 72 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: but I think you need a broomstick. Well, I wouldn't 73 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: want to scare all the kids away, Mama Bear said, laughing. 74 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: Coming down the stairs and walking into the kitchen, Papa 75 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: Bear said, are you ready to go? My little spooky ghost? Papa? 76 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: What are you dressed up? As Bernie said with a laugh, 77 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: You mean you don't know? Nope, Bernie said, shaking her head. 78 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: I'm dressed up as that toy cowboy. In the movie 79 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: we watched a long time ago a cowboy, Papa, But 80 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: that's not very scary or spooky, Bernice said, not convinced 81 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: that it was the best choice of costume. Well, not 82 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: every costume has to be spooky, little Bear. We can 83 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: dress up as whatever we want as long as we 84 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: are having good fun. I've been looking for an opportunity 85 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: to wear this cowboy hat I found at the thrift 86 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: store for years. Now. You look pretty cool, Papa, Bernice said, 87 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: jumping up and down. Can we go outside now, Papa, 88 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 1: let's go friendly ghost. After all the trigger treating was over, 89 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: Papa Bear and Bernice came home and shared the adventure 90 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: they had with Mama Bear. You should have seen the 91 00:06:53,080 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: robot costume, Mama. It was super realistic. After dinner, it 92 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: was time for bed. Can I wear my dog bone pajamas? Papa? 93 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: I think they kind of seem like a skeleton costume, 94 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: sure thing, Little Bear. After putting on her pajamas, Bernice 95 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: jumped into bed while Papa Bear tucked her in tight. Quietly, 96 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: Papa Bear asked, did you have fun this evening, Little Bear? 97 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: I certainly did, Papa. It was great to meet my 98 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: friends in the neighborhood, and all the houses were super 99 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: spooky with lights, goblins and all kinds of stuff. I 100 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: had fun with Bobby and Gertrude too. Bobby certainly loves 101 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: pretending he is a Tyrannosaurus Rex and Gertrude's hedgehog costume 102 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: was so super cool and I think she made it herself. 103 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: But Papa, I have a question, what's that, little Bear? 104 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: Do I really need to save my candy or can 105 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: I eat it all tomorrow? You really need to save it, 106 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: little bear? Halloween candy is a treat, and we only 107 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: have so many treats every day. You have to leave 108 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: room in your belly for good fruits, like vegetables and fruits. Okay, Papa, 109 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: I was just triple checking as she snuggled under the covers. 110 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: Can you tell me a story tonight? Are you sure 111 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: you want a story, little bear? Of course, Papa, but 112 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: this time I want a spooky story. Did you brush 113 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: your teeth? Yes? And I did my best job. Are 114 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: you comfy and warm? Yes, Papa? How about Twigger, Wolfe 115 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: and Madeline? Are they ready for a story too? I 116 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: think they are. Okay, me a big hug and a 117 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: kiss and I'll tell you a story that is just 118 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: a little spooky. Thank you, Papa. Once upon a time, 119 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: in a world full of magic and fun, there lived 120 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: a brave little bear named Booboo. She lived in a 121 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: large castle at the edge of a mystical forest. And 122 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: in this forest there were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all 123 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: manner of insects, birds and animals. It was a wonderful place. 124 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: Her best friend was a young dragon named Kai Kai, 125 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: and they liked to play as much as they could. 126 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: The kingdom they lived in was full of people who 127 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: lived in the meadows, those who lived in the hills, 128 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: and those who lived in the forest, and they all 129 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: lived in harmony. On this day, Bobo and Kai Kai 130 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: were just flying back from helping Bixi clear some of 131 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: the fallen leaves that had gathered around the special clearing 132 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: in the forest where he teaches all who want to learn, 133 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: including Booboo. It was fall in the mystical forest, which 134 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: means all the greens turned to brown and red. It 135 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: also means that many of the leaves fall from the trees. 136 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm certainly glad you were there to help Kai Kai. 137 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: With your big breaths, we were able to tidy up 138 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: Bixi's place in no time, Bubu said, as they were 139 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: flying back towards her castle. My big lungs do come 140 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: in handy. Kaikai replied, what's that stone structure just outside 141 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: the grounds of your castle? He asked, pointing towards a 142 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: run down cat castle on the very far edge of 143 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: the castle grounds. Why don't you land there and I 144 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: will tell you all about it. They landed in a 145 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: clearing just a short walk away. Getting off Kai Kai, 146 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: Booboo said, do you believe in ghosts? I do, and 147 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: I find ghosts a little too spooky. Kai Kai said, well, 148 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: that old building up ahead is very difficult to see 149 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: in the summer because of all the trees set surround it, 150 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: but now that it is fall it is much easier 151 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: to see, and it is a good time to visit. 152 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: Would you like to know what is so special about 153 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: this particular castle? I guess so, but I have a 154 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: feeling that I am not going to like your explanation. Well, 155 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: said Booboo, This particular castle is rumored to be haunted 156 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: by ghosts whenever fall comes. I would try to be 157 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: brave and come with my friends to see inside the castle. 158 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: But even though my father said it was safe and 159 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: just a little run down. We never could walk in 160 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: the front door. Crouching a little lower as if to 161 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: hide behind the much smaller Booboo, Kai Kai asked, why 162 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: couldn't you walk in the door because we heard the 163 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: sounds of ghosts? Okay, I knew I wouldn't like your explanation. 164 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: How but we go to your castle now and see 165 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: if there are any cookies to eat, Kai Kai said, 166 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: turning quickly to walk away. Kai Kai, How can a 167 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: great big dragon like you be scared of a ghost? Easy? 168 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: Should we walk or fly over to your castle? Come on, 169 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: Kai Kai, I'm older now and would like to once 170 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: and for all see what is inside this old castle. 171 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: Won't you come inside with me? You are probably too 172 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: big to fit all the way inside the front door anyway. Okay, 173 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: but if I see a ghost, we are both lying 174 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: out of here, Kai Kai warned. Booboo and Kai Kai 175 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: slowly walked up the tree lined path towards the front door. 176 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: All the leaves were off the trees, leaving just the 177 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: gray branches, and unlike other parts of the mystical forest, 178 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: there were no flowers of any kind, nothing green, not 179 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: much color at all. Do you hear that sound? Boobo 180 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: asked as they approached the front door. Oooooooo oooooo, I 181 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: really think we should go now, Kai Kai said. Bobo 182 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: walked to the door and pushed down on the lever 183 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: that allowed her to open the door. It was a large, 184 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: heavy door that let out a great, big creaking sound 185 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: as she pushed on it. Ooooooo oooo, I'm going inside, 186 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: Booboo said. I wish you wouldn't. Kai Kai replied. Boo 187 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: Boo walked in and then there was silence. Boo Boo, 188 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: are you okay? Kai Kai called out Kai Kai, Booboo said, 189 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: sticking her head out of the door with a big 190 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: smile on her face. Stick your head inside and see 191 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: what I found. Still a bit nervous, Kai Kai stuck 192 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: his head inside the door and saw a number of 193 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: glowing eyes staring at him. What is that, he asked, 194 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: It's a parliament of owls. All these years, the sounds 195 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: that we have been here coming from this old castle 196 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: have been a combination of the wind and this large 197 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: family of owls who call this castle their home. And 198 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: they are white like ghosts too, Kai Ki said, somewhat relieved. 199 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: Well that was fun, Boobo said, Now how about we 200 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: go have some fresh cookies before my father eats them. 201 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: All sounds good to me, Kai Kai said as they 202 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: walked back down the path towards Booboo's far less spooky castle. 203 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: And with that, Papa Bear gave Bernice a kiss on 204 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: the forehead, adjusted her blanket, making sure that her friends 205 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: were comfy too, turned off her lamp, and quietly whispered, 206 00:15:53,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: I love you, little bear, and that's the end of 207 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: our story. Good night, sleep tight.
