1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: Welcome Sleep Night Stories.

2
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 2: The Two Rabbits. Once upon a time, there were two

3
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: rabbits named Jim and Jan. They were eight year old twins,

4
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: a brother and a sister, and they loved to argue

5
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: and play tricks on people. They drove their parents and

6
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: teachers crazy with all their arguing and tricks. On Saturday morning,

7
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Jim and Jan woke up early thinking about all the

8
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: fun they were going to have. Today was their birthday party.

9
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: Everything had been planned and it was going to be

10
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: a great day. All of their cousins were coming to

11
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: the party, and they had also invited their friends from school.

12
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: They started to think about all the tricks they were

13
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: going to play at their party. They were very excited.

14
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: They went down to have breakfast with their family and

15
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: start to prepare their tricks. At the breakfast table, everyone

16
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: sang happy birthday to the twins and they were very happy.

17
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: When their brothers started to pour milk on his cereal,

18
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: it started coming out of the small holes that the

19
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: twins had poked into the milk container. Ha ha ha,

20
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: they laughed. Their brother was very angry. Their mother made

21
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: them clean up the mess will their brother got to

22
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: eat cereal and watch TV. A few minutes later, they

23
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: heard a scream from their big sister's room. Jim and Jan,

24
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: what did you do to my makeup? She yelled. They

25
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: giggled all the way up the stairs with their mother

26
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 2: right behind them. Their sister was in the bathroom trying

27
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: to wash her face, but she couldn't get the makeup

28
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: to come off. Jim and Jan's mother looked at their

29
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: big sister and sent them to their room while she

30
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: tried to help their sister fix her face. When the

31
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: twins were in their room, they talked about how well

32
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: the day was going. They still had a few more

33
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: tricks planned before the party even began. They hoped their

34
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: mother wouldn't get too upset. About thirty minutes later, they

35
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: heard Jim and Jan get down here right now. They

36
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: looked at each other and nodded. The baby must have

37
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: found the markers they left out. When they went downstairs,

38
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: they could see color all over the walls in the

39
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: playroom and a very angry looking mother waiting for an explanation.

40
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: It was Jim's idea, Jan said, was not? It was

41
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: your idea, said Jim, It was yours. No, it was yours?

42
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: Was not? Was too? They argued with each other until

43
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: their mother said, it doesn't matter whose idea it was,

44
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: it needs to be cleaned up right now. She passed

45
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: them two buckets and some rags and told them to

46
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: get to work. Jim and Jan looked at each other

47
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: and thought their mother seemed to be getting more upset

48
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: with each trick. They hoped she wouldn't get too upset

49
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: before the party began. They cleaned up the playroom and

50
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: put all the toys away to try and make their

51
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: mother less angry with them. Just as they finished cleaning,

52
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: their mother called them to the table for lunch. Their

53
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: mother had made sandwiches for lunch, as their guests would

54
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: be arriving in an hour and they still needed to

55
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: get dressed. Jim and Jan ate their sandwiches quietly and

56
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: helped to clean up. They went upstairs to get dressed

57
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: for their party. Jim and Jan's mother had bought them

58
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: each a new outfit for their birthday party, and they

59
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: had one more trick to play, this time on their mother.

60
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: When the doorbell rang, Jim and Jan were ready. Jim

61
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: and Jan, Grandma and your cousins are here, Come on down.

62
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: Jim and Jan looked at each other one last time,

63
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: nodded and started down the stairs. Their cousins had gone

64
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: outside to play already, but their grandma was waiting to

65
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: see them in the kitchen. Jim and Jan came around

66
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: the corner into the kitchen and Grandma gasped, what have

67
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: you done now? What do you mean, grandma? Said Jim innocently.

68
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: He was wearing Jan's new dress and had his ears

69
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: wrapped up in ponytails. Yes, Grandma, what do you mean?

70
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: Copied Jan, who was wearing Jim's new dress, shorts and

71
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: had her their ears all slicked back and laying flat.

72
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: Mother was outside, so she didn't see what the twins

73
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: had done until after all the guests had arrived and

74
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: they went outside. When everyone saw the twins, they started

75
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: laughing at them and their silly trick. They looked at

76
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: their mother to see if she was going to be

77
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: angry or not, but she just shook her head and

78
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: went into the house to get the snacks ready. Well.

79
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: Dad played games with the rabbits. A while later, after

80
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: all the games had been played, Grandma and mother came

81
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: out of the house with the snacks for the party.

82
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: They called everyone to the table and said, because it

83
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: was Jim and Jan's birthday, and they loved to play

84
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: tricks so much. They had made some special snacks. There

85
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: were inside out sandwiches with the peanut butter on the

86
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: outside of the bread, and upside down cupcakes with the

87
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: frosting on the bottom. Jim and Jan, we're so happy

88
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: with the snacks. They ran over to their mother and

89
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: threw their arms around her and said, thank you, mother.

90
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: You're the best mother ever. Mother said, thank you, my tricksters.

91
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: My days are always full of fun with the two

92
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: of you here. Now go and enjoy your party, and

93
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: no more tricks, okay, said Jim and Jan. Together they

94
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: ran off to eat and play with their cousins, knowing

95
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: that they wouldn't have any more tricks for anyone, at

96
00:06:35,279 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: least not today.

97
00:07:36,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Eight do y
