Speaker 2: can tell? Billy? Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids,
Speaker 2: where we discover fascinating facts about the world around us
Speaker 2: and the fun of play learning. Today we're talking about
Speaker 2: winding down before bed and using our imagination to help
Speaker 2: us get to sleep. Let's see what the friends come
Speaker 2: up with.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't have any books with me right now?
Speaker 2: Me neither.
Speaker 4: Does it have to be a book?
Speaker 2: What if one of.
Speaker 4: Us told you a story?
Speaker 2: Billy?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: What about Goalie locks in the Three Bears, or Peter
Speaker 3: Rabbit or good Night Moon.
Speaker 2: Billy says that those are all good stories. But he's
Speaker 2: heard them all before. Billy says, he's been working through
Speaker 2: every bedtime story and cataloging them.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, so you only want to hear a news story, Billie. Humh,
Speaker 4: excuse me while I consult with my team. Okay, Elliott, Cowie,
Speaker 4: what are we thinking here?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Billy mind is a computer.
Speaker 3: She's probably knows thousands of stories.
Speaker 1: Elliott's right, he's probably read every story that we know.
Speaker 4: I've got it. We don't tell him a story that
Speaker 4: he already knows. Let's make one up, make one up.
Speaker 4: Follow my lead, all right, Billy, we have a story
Speaker 4: for you, and it's definitely one you've never heard before.
Speaker 4: It's the story of Billy the Brave. You see, Billy
Speaker 4: the Brave was the most heroic adventurer in the land.
Speaker 2: For his entire life.
Speaker 4: He'd travel either by foot or.
Speaker 2: My terodactyl.
Speaker 4: Yes that's right, Elliott, sometimes by Tara dentyl, and when
Speaker 4: he'd rive in a new town, the villagers would rush
Speaker 4: out of their houses telling him their problems, such as.
Speaker 2: Cow he.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: Yes, they'd run out and say, there's a badger.
Speaker 3: In my tomato patch, or there's a catapool in my soup.
Speaker 4: Right, you would be small problems, and Billy the Brave
Speaker 4: would help the townspeople.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Billy the Brian, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: But one day Billy a Brave came to a new
Speaker 2: town and no one ran out asking for his help.
Speaker 2: In fact, he didn't see any villagers at all. There
Speaker 2: were no people working in the fields, no one in
Speaker 2: the streets. The town seemed empty. So Billy the Brave
Speaker 2: went and knocked on one of the doors, hoping to
Speaker 2: find out where everyone was.
Speaker 4: One of the townspeople cracked their.
Speaker 3: Door, but they seemed very scared. Elliot, Oh, who's there
Speaker 3: at my door? I'm a frightened townsperson.
Speaker 4: Billy the Brave asked the townsperson why they were so scared,
Speaker 4: because there.
Speaker 1: Was a giant dragon that comes out at night, blowing.
Speaker 3: Fire into the sky and scaring everyone away.
Speaker 2: Nice one, Elliott, It's true this town had a dragon
Speaker 2: who prowled at night, and Billy the Brave knew that
Speaker 2: he was the only one who could do anything about it.
Speaker 2: So that night, while all the townspeople were holed up
Speaker 2: in their head houses.
Speaker 4: Billy the Brave took to the streets to meet the dragon.
Speaker 4: He walked, and he walked, until finally a burst of
Speaker 4: orange flame filled the sky.
Speaker 1: And Callie and Billy, being the bravest adventurer in the land,
Speaker 1: all the fiery trail in the sky until he stood
Speaker 1: face to face with.
Speaker 3: He WoT this dragon?
Speaker 1: Want to be the dragon?
Speaker 2: Elliott sure?
Speaker 3: Ohoozer ah, a brave adventurer. I see what brings you
Speaker 3: out here tonight.
Speaker 2: Billy the Brave says that he's come to see the
Speaker 2: dragon that is scaring all of the townspeople. The dragon
Speaker 2: was shocked.
Speaker 4: He didn't know he'd been scaring anyone, me, the townspeople.
Speaker 1: How so.
Speaker 2: Well, mister dragon, Billy the Brave says that you've been
Speaker 2: shooting fire through the skies every night.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, you see, I haven't been hurting anyone. I'm
Speaker 3: just getting ready.
Speaker 2: For bed, getting ready for bed.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 3: Do you see how I'm always firing my flames into
Speaker 3: the sky. That's because I'm not trying to hurt anyone.
Speaker 3: I'm just doing my breathing exercises. They helped me calm
Speaker 3: down before bed.
Speaker 2: Nice one, do you want.
Speaker 3: To do some breathing with me?
Speaker 2: Billy the Brave agreed, but suggested they move to the
Speaker 2: outskirts of town so that the dragon's breath wouldn't frighten
Speaker 2: the townspeople. Hey, Lingo kids listeners, have you done any
Speaker 2: breathing exercises to calm yourself down? It's great for when
Speaker 2: we're feeling upset or anxious, but it's also a great
Speaker 2: way to wind down before bed.
Speaker 3: Now, let's take another deep breath through our nose.
Speaker 2: And out through our mouths. The dragon loved having someone
Speaker 2: to do his breathing exercises with and apologized for scaring
Speaker 2: the townspeople.
Speaker 3: I don't want anyone to be afraid of me. I'm
Speaker 3: a really friendly guy. Hey, Billy the Brave and your travels,
Speaker 3: have you learned any are the ways that might help me.
Speaker 2: Get to sleep? Billy the Brave asks, have you ever
Speaker 2: been told a bedtime story?
Speaker 4: And so every night Billy the Brave would go to
Speaker 4: the Dragon's cave do their breathing exercises. Then Billy would
Speaker 4: tell him a story to help and do go to sleep,
Speaker 4: and every person in the town slept happily. Ever after, Well,
Speaker 4: what did you think of that one, Billy?
Speaker 2: Billy Lingo Kids listeners, thanks for listening to this episode
Speaker 2: about bedtime routines and the power of imagination, we learned
Speaker 2: that even if we're not in our regular bed or
Speaker 2: doing our regular routine, we can always use our imaginations
Speaker 2: to help us get to sleep. We also learned that
Speaker 2: when a friend needs help, a little bit of teamwork
Speaker 2: can make all the difference. We'll see you next time
Speaker 2: and good night, Lingo Kids listeners. Do you ever come
Speaker 2: up with your own bedtime stories want to share with us?
