1 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: Hello, Friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Prince Edward 2 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: Island is often visited by aliens from outer space. Many 3 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: wants souvenirs or artifacts to take with them when they 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: return to their home planets. In Sadira visits Prince Edward Island, 5 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: Sadira finds ice cream and a friend. In our latest 6 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,639 Speaker 1: edition of Nora Finds an Old Artifact, Nora and her 7 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: family visit Prince Edward Island many years in the future. 8 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Nora finds an old device that tells stories, except it 9 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't work in this part. Will the device still tell 10 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: her a bedtime story? Or was it all just a dream? 11 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Nora Finds an Old Artifact Part two. After finishing their 12 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: first meal of the day, Nora and her family explored 13 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: the northern part of the island on their personal vehicles 14 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: that came with the dome they were staying in. Driving 15 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: through the countryside, they saw the vast expanse of green 16 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: farmland stretching out in all directions. No people lived in 17 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: this area anymore, and all the work tending the gardens 18 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: and fields was automated. This, Nora learned, was not so 19 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: much a result of leaving for better opportunities off planet 20 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: or the inland settlements, but was an effort to try 21 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: and preserve the natural charm that once existed on the 22 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: island before people left for the stars. Now, instead of 23 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: people driving noisy machines across the fields or doing the 24 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: work by hand, the farms were managed and tended to 25 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: buy fleets of small, quiet robots powered by the sun. 26 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: The island is known for its red soil, which Nora 27 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: thought contrasted beautifully with the lush greenery. It looked much 28 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: more beautiful than the pictures of Mars. After ages of terraforming, 29 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: Mars was still predominantly red. They drove by fields of potatoes, hay, grain, 30 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: and other ancient crops that people used to grow. Nora's 31 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: parents said that they might try potatoes later for the 32 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: day's final meal, but she was skeptical that it would 33 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: be edible. Wouldn't something pulled from the ground be dirty. 34 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: They saw some recreated farmhouses, barns, and outbuildings between the fields, 35 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: many of which were painted in cheerful colors. Parked next 36 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: to the buildings were the robots, charging with the sun 37 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: so they could get ready to work at night. They 38 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: saw fields of wildflowers, strands of trees and hedgerows that 39 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: provided a habitat for wildlife. Norah's parents had warned her 40 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: that the wildlife on the island was not to be 41 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: played with. They were not gentle like the gromanore on Blue, 42 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: and apparently they might even bite. Norah's glass told her 43 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: it was highly unlikely that you could get close enough 44 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: to touch one, so the danger was fairly small. As 45 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: they drove, Nora could see a family of local wildlife 46 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: running for cover behind a hedgerow. Their fur was almost 47 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: as red as the soil itself. Nora and her family 48 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: stopped at a predetermined location just outside a white sandy 49 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: beach where they would sit and have lunch. Wasn't that 50 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: a fun trip, her father said, as he grabbed the 51 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: bag with the food in it. Yes, the air has 52 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: a special scent to it that we don't usually smell 53 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: on Blue, Nora replied, as she started walking towards the beach. Well, 54 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: you certainly won't smell anything as nice as this air 55 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: coming from the water on Pandora. It's very refreshing, her 56 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: mother added, following behind Nora as they started their descent 57 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: down to the beach. You should take off your footwear 58 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: to feel the hot sand between your toes, Norah, her 59 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: father said from behind. As she walked, Norah's feet sunk 60 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: into the warm, soft sand. She found the sensation of 61 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: the sand slipping between her toes soothing, so much so 62 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: that if she wasn't moving or hadn't stepped on the 63 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: occasional hard rock, she might have wanted to lay down 64 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: a nap. After they had found the place they were 65 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: going to sit, they set up their gear, and Norah's 66 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: mother and father decided to go for a walk down 67 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: the beach. Would you like to come with us, Norah, 68 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: her mother asked. I heard that there might be some 69 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: old structures to explore just around that dune over there. 70 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: I think I might just sit here for a while 71 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: first and look at all the special rocks and shells. 72 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: Nora replied, all right, we'll see you in a little while. 73 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: Norah sat for a while, looking at shells and rocks 74 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: and watching the whitebirds swoop down to the sea and 75 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: quickly fly back up again. It was warm and the 76 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: sand was so comfortable. Then she heard a beep and 77 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: then another glass. Identify that sound. It appears the sound 78 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: is coming from your bag. It is not coming from 79 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: another external source. Nora went over to her bag and 80 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: opened it. Looking inside, she realized the artifact she had 81 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: found near where they were staying was in her bag. 82 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: She forgot that she had put it back in this morning. 83 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: After talking to her father about it, Surely it wasn't 84 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: making the noise. Her father was convinced that it was 85 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: long since inoperable. Norah took the device out of her bag, 86 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: sat back down, and examined its rounded and colorful exterior 87 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: well device, She asked out loud, are you working or 88 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: are you not? Silence? I might have been hearing something else, 89 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: except that Glass said it hurt it too, She thought, 90 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: Perhaps it is so relaxing here that I am hearing things, 91 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Norah said aloud, Glass, is it possible to imagine you 92 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: hear things when you are very relaxed? She asked, Not 93 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: that I am aware of it, replied. Norah put the 94 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: device back in her bag. Perhaps Dad can have another 95 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: look at it, she thought. From inside her bag, Nora 96 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: heard that same slightly distorted voice which said, hello kids, 97 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: My name is Storybook. Every night a new story. To 98 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: hear a story, just click the green button. Surprise, Norah 99 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: took the device out of her bag, and it continued. 100 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: Lay down and close your eyes as I tell you 101 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: tonight's story, and the story book started. Welcome to Tonight's 102 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: super silly bedtime story. Tonight, we are going to hear 103 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: about a boy who loved ice cream, but perhaps loved 104 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: ice cream a little too much. When he meets an 105 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: old man, what will he learn. Once upon a time, 106 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: in a small village nestled in a valley, there was 107 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: a boy named Oliver. Oliver was a kind and happy 108 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: boy who loved to play and explore. But more than anything, 109 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: Oliver loved to eat ice cream. He would eat it 110 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert. Oliver's parents, who 111 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: ran a bakery in the village, were worried about their 112 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: son's obsession with ice cream. They knew that too much 113 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: of a good thing could be bad for him. Day 114 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: and night, they would fret about his eating habits, but 115 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: no matter what they tried, they couldn't get Oliver to 116 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: stop eating ice cream. One day, while walking in the village, 117 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: Oliver came across an old man selling ice cream from 118 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: a cart. It was a summer festival and many people 119 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: were selling treats, crafts, and other goods for people to buy. 120 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: Oliver hadn't had any ice cream sence lunch, so he 121 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: was feeling kind of hungry. He had thought about walking 122 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: back to his favorite ice cream shop for a snack, 123 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: but the old man had a kind face that reminded 124 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: him of his grandfather. Since the lineup was short, Oliver 125 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: decided to stop and see what kind of flavors he had. 126 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: When it was Oliver's turn, he walked towards the cart. 127 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: Would you like some ice cream, my boy, the old 128 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: man asked, with a twinkle in his eye. Oh, yes, 129 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: I certainly would. What flavors do you have, Oliver said eagerly, Well, 130 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: I have Durian black sesame, Macha lavender, balsamic vinegar, will 131 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: sell Bobby sweet corn, bacon, rose petal, and magical vanilla. 132 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: That's a lot of flavors for such a small cart, 133 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: Oliver said, I think I will try magical vanilla. The 134 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: old man handed Oliver a cone of ice cream, and 135 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: as Oliver took a bite, he saw a colorful spinning 136 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: circle appear beside the cart. It looked like the portal 137 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: he had seen in one of his favorite movies about 138 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: wizards and superheroes, so he walked towards it and then 139 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: walked in. As soon as he walked in, he was 140 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: transported to a magical world where everything was made of 141 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: ice cream. The trees were made of vanilla ice cream, 142 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: the bushes were made of strawberry ice cream, and the 143 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: flowers were made of chocolate ice cream. Oliver couldn't believe 144 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: his eyes. He ran through the ice cream world, licking 145 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: and tasting everything he saw. This is like a dream 146 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: come true. I can eat all the ice cream I want, 147 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: and it's everywhere, Oliver said, as he jumped up and 148 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: down and he ate and ate and ate. But as 149 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: he ran and ate, he began to notice that something 150 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: was wrong. The ice cream world was melting, the sun 151 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: was too hot, and the ice cream was turning to 152 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: a gooey mush. Oliver realized that the ice cream world 153 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: would melt away if he didn't do something, and then 154 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: what would he eat. He ran back through the portal 155 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: to the old Man's cart and asked him for help. 156 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: The old man smiled and said, my dear boy, the 157 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: solution is simple. You must learn to enjoy ice cream 158 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: in moderation. Oliver was confused, what do you mean? The 159 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: old man explained, ice cream is a wonderful treat, but 160 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: too much of it can be harmful. You must learn 161 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: to enjoy it in small amounts. And I think you 162 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: will value ice cream much more too, when you don't 163 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: eat it all the time. Oliver thought about this for 164 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: a moment and realized that maybe the old man was right. 165 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: He had been so obsessed with eating ice cream that 166 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: he hadn't even stopped to enjoy it. He had been 167 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: eating it for the sake of eating it, not because 168 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: he truly loved it. With the old man's guidance, Oliver 169 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: learned to enjoy ice cream in moderation. He learned to 170 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: savor each bite and to appreciate the flavors and textures 171 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: of different kinds of ice cream, even with sobby and 172 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: balsamic vinegar flavored. And as he did when he entered 173 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: the ice cream world again, it began to stabilize. Oliver 174 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: was a changed boy when he returned through the portal 175 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: to his own world. He still loved ice cream, but 176 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: was no longer obsessed with it. He enjoyed it in 177 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: moderation and appreciated it for the delicious treat that it was, 178 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: and he lived happily ever after, with a new found 179 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: respect for ice cream and a love for vegetables of 180 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: all kinds. Nora, are you asleep, her mother yelled from 181 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: a short distance away. Wake up, sleepy, and come with 182 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: us to see what we have found on the other 183 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: side of the peninsula, her father said. As he walked closer. 184 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: Norah realized that she had been lying down on the sand. 185 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: Did I fall asleep listening to the story, she wondered aloud. 186 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: Looking at the device, she saw that she had put 187 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: it back in her bag. Did I imagine the whole thing? 188 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: Nora got up and walked towards her mother and father. 189 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: Did you have a good nap, Nora, her mother asked, 190 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: I guess so. I hadn't realized I had fallen asleep, 191 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: and I had the strangest dream, Nora replied. After we 192 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: walk a little, your father still wants to drive and 193 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: try the ice cream they sell at the nearby settlement. 194 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: Are you going to try some? Maybe just a little bit, 195 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: Norah said, And that's the end of this part. Good night, 196 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: sleep tight.
