Speaker 5: all right, Billy, we have a story for you, and
Speaker 5: it's definitely one you've never heard before.
Speaker 1: It's the story of Billy the Brave.
Speaker 5: You see, Billy the Brave was the most heroic adventurer
Speaker 5: in the land. For his entire life, he'd travel either
Speaker 5: by foot or.
Speaker 1: My terodactyl.
Speaker 5: Yes that's right, Elliott, sometimes by Tara dentol, and when
Speaker 5: he'd derive in a new town, the villagers would rush
Speaker 5: out of their houses telling him their problems, such as.
Speaker 3: Cow he.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, they'd run out and say, there's a badger.
Speaker 6: In my tomato patch, or there's a catapool in my soup, right,
Speaker 6: you would be small problems, and Billy the Brave would
Speaker 6: help the townspeople.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Billy the Brian, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: But one day.
Speaker 3: Billy a Brave came to a new town and no
Speaker 3: one ran out asking for his help. In fact, he
Speaker 3: didn't see any villagers at all. There were no people
Speaker 3: working in the fields, no one in the streets. The
Speaker 3: town seemed empty. So Billy the Brave went and knocked
Speaker 3: on one of the doors, hoping to find out where
Speaker 3: everyone was.
Speaker 5: One of the townspeople cracked their door, but.
Speaker 1: They seemed very scared.
Speaker 4: Elliot, Oh, who's there at my door? I'm a frightened townsperson.
Speaker 5: Billy the Brave asked the townsperson why they were so scared,
Speaker 5: because there.
Speaker 4: Was a giant dragon that comes out at night, blowing.
Speaker 2: Fire into the sky and scaring everyone away.
Speaker 3: Nice one, Elliott, It's true this town had a dragon
Speaker 3: who prowled at night, and Billy the Brave knew that
Speaker 3: he was the only one who could do anything about it.
Speaker 3: So that night, while all the townspeople were holed up
Speaker 3: in their head houses.
Speaker 5: Billy the Brave took to the streets to meet the dragon.
Speaker 1: He walked, and he walked, until.
Speaker 5: Finally a burst of orange flame filled the sky.
Speaker 2: And Callie and Billy, being the bravest adventurer in the land,
Speaker 2: all the fiery trail in the sky until he stood
Speaker 2: face to face with.
Speaker 1: He WoT this dragon? Want to be the dragon? Elliott
Speaker 1: Sure ooser.
Speaker 4: Ah a brave adventurer.
Speaker 1: I see what brings you out here tonight?
Speaker 3: Billy the Brave says that he's come to see the
Speaker 3: dragon that is scaring all of the townspeople.
Speaker 1: The dragon was shocked.
Speaker 5: He didn't know he'd been scaring anyone, me, the townspeople.
Speaker 2: How so.
Speaker 3: Well, mister dragon, Billy the Brave says that you've been
Speaker 3: shooting fire through the skies every night.
Speaker 4: Oh, well, you see, I haven't been hurting anyone.
Speaker 1: I'm just getting ready for.
Speaker 3: Bed, getting ready for bed.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 4: Do you see how I'm always firing my flames into
Speaker 4: the sky. That's because I'm not trying.
Speaker 3: To hurt anyone.
Speaker 4: I'm just doing my breathing exercises. They helped me calm
Speaker 4: down before bed. Nice one, do you.
Speaker 1: Want to do some breathing with me?
Speaker 3: Billy the Brave agreed, but suggested they move to the
Speaker 3: outskirts of town so that the dragon's breath wouldn't frighten
Speaker 3: the townspeople. Hey, Lingo kids listeners, have you done any
Speaker 3: breathing exercises to calm yourself down? It's great for when
Speaker 3: we're feeling upset or anxious, but it's also a great
Speaker 3: way to wind down before bed.
Speaker 4: Now, let's take another deep breath through our nose.
Speaker 1: And out through our mouths.
Speaker 3: The dragon loved having someone to do his breathing exercises
Speaker 3: with and apologized for scaring the townspeople.
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to be afraid of me. I'm
Speaker 1: a really friendly guy. Hey, Billy the Brave.
Speaker 4: And your travels, have you learned any are the ways
Speaker 4: that might help me.
Speaker 1: Get to sleep?
Speaker 3: Billy the Brave asks, have you ever been told a
Speaker 3: bedtime story?
Speaker 5: And so every night Billy the Brave would go to
Speaker 5: the Dragon's cave do their breathing exercises. Then Billy would
Speaker 5: tell him a story to help him to go to sleep,
Speaker 5: and every person in the town slept happily. Ever after, Well,
Speaker 5: what did you think of that one, Billy?
Speaker 3: Billy Lingo Kids listeners, thanks for listening to this episode
Speaker 3: about bedtime routines and the power of imagination, we learned
Speaker 3: that even if we're not in our regular bed or
Speaker 3: doing our regular routine, we can always use our imaginations
