WEBVTT - The Wide Awake Wizard 

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister jim Ho.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I was just getting ready for bed. Are you as well?

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth and found

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 1>all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>all those things ready, then it's time for our story.

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>But first we must close our eyes so that we

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>can travel to an imaginary world. The sun was setting

0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>over the little cottage where Ziggy the Wizard lived. The

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>day had ended, and Ziggy was getting ready for bed.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>He brushed his teeth and changed into his black cat pajamas.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Then the little Wizard lied down in bed, but sleep

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>did not come. Oh maybe if I had different color blankets,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I could sleep better, thought Ziggy. The big yellow stars

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>covering his comforter were much too bright. So Ziggy grabbed

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>his wand and gave it a wave. The stars twinkled

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>out one by one. The blanket was now just a

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>dark blue of an empty sky. Too empty, murmured Ziggy.

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>The stars might have been too bright, but they still

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>needed something. He tapped the blankets, making moons and asked,

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>rods appear. Ah, that's better The little wizard tried to

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>close his eyes again, but the world outside was much

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>too noisy. He could hear the hooting of owls and

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>chirping of crickets. There were bowl frogs croaking and bad squeaking.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 1>It was all much too loud. Ziggy waved his wand

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>toward the window and all of the creature's sounds disappeared.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Now he listened and heard nothing. Oh now it's too quiet.

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Ziggy needed something rhythmic and soothing to listen to as

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>he tried to sleep. He waved his wand, making a

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>wavy lake appear outside his window. He listened as the

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>waves touched the shore. The sound of the slow lapping

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>water was just what he needed. Ah, wonderful, Ziggy smiled.

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>He rolled over to get some shut eye, but felt

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>something lumpy in his mattress. He tried to smooth it out,

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>but the bump kept coming back. The mattress was just

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>too hard. This won't do. He shook his head. Ziggy

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>tapped it with his wand and the mattress became a cloud.

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>It was so fluffy that he sank into it. Ziggy

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>pulled himself up from the top of the cloud mattress

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>or too soft. Another tap, and his bed became the fluffy,

0:03:54.240 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>furry back of a polar bear. Growled the bear, Oh

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>too furry. Ziggy quickly tapped the bear mattress again, turning

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the polar bear into a bed of soft flower petals.

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Ziggy began to sniffle, and his nose began to itch.

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>He felt a sneeze coming, and as he let it go,

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:31.239
<v Speaker 1>he tapped his wand once more a shoe, the flower

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>bed transformed back into a soft, squishy mattress. This time

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the lumps were gone. Ziggy listened to the peaceful waves

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 1>on his soft, lump free bed. His night light shined

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>bright in the corner of his room. Oh too brightly,

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>thought Ziggy. So with the flick of his wand the

0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>night light went out. Now it was you, you know what?

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Too dark. He waved his wand towards the ceiling, and

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>the sun appeared above. Oh too bright again, Ziggy shook

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>his head and tried once more. The sun moved across

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>his ceiling, down the wall, and slowly set behind his bed.

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Ziggy's wand waved and brought out fireflies to replace it

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>much better. They flew lazily around over his bed, casting

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:41.119
<v Speaker 1>just enough light in his room. Ziggy settled back into

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>his bed and closed his eyes. The lapping of the

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>lake outside made him think about the cool water. Suddenly,

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Ziggy's mouth felt dry. I wish I had some cool

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>water inside, he said. With a wave of his wand,

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Ziggy created a stream. It ran through his bedroom floor below. Oops,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>too much water. He waved it again, and the stream

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>flowed into a cup. Sitting on his bedside table, Ziggy

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>gulped it down. Ah. Now he hoped to get some sleep.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>What else could he need? Ziggy closed his eyes and

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>began to drift off HM. Then he remembered he never

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>read his favorite bedtime story. His eyes popped open, and

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>his favorite book wiggled off the shelf toward him. Ziggy

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>tapped the pages with his wand and waited. The pictures

0:06:55.240 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>wiggled and lifted themselves up from the page one by one.

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>The Knight appeared first, pulling his horse off the page

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>after him. Then the castle rose up, ready to be protected.

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>A flame fired out from the pages, and the dragon

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>pulled itself free. Ziggy watched as his favorite story played

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>out on top of his blankets. The knight rode his

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>horse around the kingdom, ready to defend it. Then the

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 1>dragon approached the castle. Everything was fine until the dragon

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>blew his fiery breath. Ziggy's blankets began to smoke, and

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>he quickly tapped them with his wand to put it out.

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>The night eventually stopped. The dragon and Ziggy cheered as

0:07:54.440 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>they became friends. Then the pictures floated down toward the

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>pages and sank back into the book. Ziggy yawned, has

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>his favorite story book closed itself back up and floated

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>toward the shelf where it nestled itself in for the night.

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Was he finally ready for sleep? Ziggy hoped, so. He

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>gave him one good stretch, closed his eyes, and finally

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>drifted off to sleep. May you friends, have very sweet

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>dreams tonight. Good night,
