1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight Stories. This is

2
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: another story about Bernice the Bear. In this episode, Bernice

3
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: is going to go to the dentist, but she is

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: nervous because Bobby at school told her some things about

5
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: the dentist that made her feel nervous. Was Bobby right?

6
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Will Bernice have to go? Or can she hide? Bernice

7
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: goes to the dentist. Today was the day, perhaps the

8
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: worstest day in my life, thought Bernice. No way I

9
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: will go. I think I better go hide. The house

10
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: that Bernice and her mama and papa lived in wasn't big,

11
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: but it had many small hiding places, perfect for a

12
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: bear like Bernice to hide in. Bernice was the best

13
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: at hiding. Anytime she and her papa played hide and seek,

14
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: he could never find her, but because he was such

15
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: a big bear, Bernice always found him. Bernice raced under

16
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: her bed. This was one of her favorite hiding places,

17
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: and her papa never could find her when she hid here. Bernice,

18
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: are you ready yet? Her papa called, come and quickly

19
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: eat breakfast so that you can brush your teeth and

20
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: we can leave for your dentist appointment. There was that

21
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: word again, dentist. Every time Bernice heard that word, she

22
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: got shivers. At least ever since Bobby at school told

23
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: her that when he went to the dentist, the dentist

24
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: was a cranky crocodile that tried to scare him every

25
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: chance he got. Each time he told her that story,

26
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: it seemed to get worse and worse. The last time

27
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: he told the story, he said, the cranky crocodile dentist

28
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: cleaned his teeth with stinky cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is

29
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: so scary, Bernice? Where are you called her? Papa? Oh? No,

30
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: he's getting closer. I'm sure he won't find me under

31
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the bed. He never has before. Bernice, Where are you?

32
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: No way you'll find me? She thought? There you are,

33
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: silly bear. Hey, how did you find me? You must

34
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: have cheated? Did you put motion detectors in here or something?

35
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Bernice said, a little upset that her best hiding place

36
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: had been discovered. I was just lucky today, I guess.

37
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Come on, let's get some breakfast and get your teeth brushed.

38
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: We don't want to be late for your dentist appointment. Oh, Papa,

39
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't mind being late. It's okay now, Bernice, you

40
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: have been to the dentist before, and this is just

41
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: a checkup. You have been doing a marvelous job keeping

42
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: your teeth clean. I don't remember my other visits, Papa,

43
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: Bernice said. All I remember is that Bobby from school

44
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: said that the dentist was a scary crocodile and he

45
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: cleans your teeth with stinky cottage cheese. Oh, Bernice, that's

46
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: just Bobby telling silly stories to make you laugh or

47
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: be scared. You know, the dentist is nothing like that.

48
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: And cottage cheese, that's just silly. If you remember the

49
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: last time we went to the dentist, you got to

50
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: play some games with the receptionist, watch TV in the

51
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: waiting room. Then the dental hygienist came to get you

52
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: to bring you back into the checkup room. Do you remember, Bernice,

53
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: Papa asked. She wore a funny hat and told you

54
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 1: jokes before cleaning your teeth with stuff that tasted like blueberry.

55
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: I think so, Bernice said quietly. Then you got to

56
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: sit in that comfy chair while you waited for the dentist.

57
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: I think you were so comfortable that you fell asleep.

58
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: I did not. I don't know, Bernice, I think I

59
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: heard you making snorting noises. Papa, Are you ready to

60
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: come downstairs now and eat your breakfast? I think so,

61
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: Bernice said quietly. As Bernice crawled out from under the bed,

62
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: she asked, can I take my twigger with me to

63
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: the dentist? Of course, Bernice, twigger is the best giraffe ever.

64
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: After eating a delicious breakfast of honeycakes and milk, Bernice

65
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: went to her bathroom to brush her teeth, making sure

66
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: she did the best job ever. Every time she brushed

67
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: her teeth, she sang a song that Papa told her.

68
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: This is the way we rushed shirteeth. Brush sharteeth, Brush

69
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: sharteeth gently, gently, round and round to keep them clean

70
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: and sweet. After she finished brushing her teeth, Bernice got

71
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: her favorite rubber boots on which she wore no matter

72
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: if it was raining or not, and got in the

73
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: backseat of their car or the drive to the dentist office.

74
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: When they arrived at the dentist office, Bernice said to

75
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: her Papa, I'm still a little nervous. You trust me, right, Yes,

76
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: of course, Papa. You know I would never take you

77
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: somewhere scary. Yes, Papa, good, I'm happy to hear that

78
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: it's normal to be a little nervous before doing something

79
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: you aren't familiar with, especially after listening to Bobby's story.

80
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: But you have nothing to be worried about. We visit

81
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: the dentist to help keep you healthy and to give

82
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: you a beautiful smile, Papa explained. So let's be brave,

83
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: take a big breath, and go inside the dentist office.

84
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Don't forget Twigger. This particular dentist's office was between two

85
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: of Bernice's favorite places, the bookstore and the ice cream shop.

86
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: As Bernice and her papa walked to the front door

87
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: of the dentist's office, she briefly thought of running to

88
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: the bookstore and hiding, but she wanted to be brave

89
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: for her papa. Bernice and her papa walked in the

90
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: front door and down the hallway, where they were greeted

91
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: by a couple of people wearing hats with giraffes on top,

92
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: which looked just like Bernice's Twigger. Hi there, little bear,

93
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: you must be Bernice. Yes I am. I like your hat,

94
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: Bernice said as she held up her stuffed giraffe to

95
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: show the receptionist. Wow, I love your giraffe. Does your

96
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: giraffe have a name? He does. His name is Twigga. Wow,

97
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: that's a wonderful name. My twigger likes to eat ice cream.

98
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: That's so cool. Do you think Twigger will get any

99
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: ice cream after your visit with the dentist today, the

100
00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: receptionist said, looking at both Bernice and her papa. Think

101
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: if Bernice continues to be a brave little bear, a

102
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: trip to the ice cream store and the bookstore could

103
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: be arranged, her papa said. Bernice started to smile. Okay,

104
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: why don't you take a seat over there, Sophie, your

105
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: dental hygienist will be out shortly to take you into

106
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: the office. Bernice took a seat in a comfy chair

107
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: and started to watch her favorite show, Franklin and Friends.

108
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: This isn't so bad, now, is it, said Papa. The

109
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: room has all kinds of books, your favorite TV show,

110
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: And look at all the wonderful drawings on the wall.

111
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: So colorful, sure, Papa, said Bernice. Once she started watching

112
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: her favorite TV show or reading her favorite books, the

113
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: world ceased to exist. A short time later, Bernice heard

114
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: her name being called by Sophie. Too short, Bernice thought,

115
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: as she had only seen this episode ten times, and

116
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: it was coming to the good part. Sophie was wearing

117
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: a funny hat too, this time it was mouse ears,

118
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: so funny, Bernice thought, Follow me, Bernice, I'm going to

119
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: take you to have your teeth cleaned before doctor Good

120
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: comes to give you a checkup, said Sophie. They walked

121
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: down a hallway filled with pictures of other smiling bears,

122
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: and then she walked into a bright room where Sophie

123
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: helped her sit in a big reclining chair. Now, remember, Bernice,

124
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: what happened the last time you sat in this chair,

125
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: joked her. Papa, don't fall asleep. Pah bah, Bernice said,

126
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: with a small eye roll. Who did you bring with

127
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: you today, asked Sophie, looking at Twigger. This is Twigger.

128
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: He is one of my bestest friends after Rachel at

129
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: school and Papa. Of course, please to meet you, Twigger,

130
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: said Sophie as she shook his hoof. Okay, Bernice, we

131
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: have a big decision to make, said Sophie. What's that?

132
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: What flavor of toothpaste would you like? She asked, Well,

133
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't want cottage cheese because Bobby said that you

134
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: brushed his teeth with cottage cheese. Ha ha ha. Don't worry, Bernice.

135
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: I think your friend Bobby was being silly. Sophie said,

136
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: with a big smile. I've got strawberry, blueberry, vanilla, and watermelon.

137
00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Which would you like? Blueberry? Please? Great? Now, I'm going

138
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: to put these cool sunglasses on you so that the

139
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: bright light I used to see inside your mouth doesn't

140
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: make you uncomfortable. Okay, said Sophie. Okay. Sophie then started

141
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: to clean Bernice's teeth with a special toothbrush. Bernice said

142
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: ah and opened her mouth big and wide. It tickled

143
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: a little, but did not hurt. As Sophie finished up,

144
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Doctor Good came in with two hats to say hello

145
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: and see Bernice's shiny clean teeth. Hi, Bernice, I love

146
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: those sunglasses on you. They look really cool. I'm going

147
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: to take a look at your teeth with a shiny mirror,

148
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: but I need your help first. Can you help me,

149
00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: asked Doctor Good. I think so. Bernice replied. Which hat

150
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: should I wear when I clean your teeth? This alligator

151
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: hat or the lion, asked Doctor Good with a great

152
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: big smile. The lion, Okay, the lion, it is roared

153
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: doctor Good with her best lion voice. Doctor Good checked

154
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: Bernice's teeth with her mirror. This didn't hurt and certainly

155
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: was not scary that Bobby was such a stinker. Wow, Bernice,

156
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: you are taking such great care of your teeth. They're

157
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: so shiny and clean. Do you know what, Bernice said,

158
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: Doctor Good? What? I think you deserve a sticker today

159
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: and a bag of goodies for taking such good care

160
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: of your teeth and for being so brave and calm

161
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: in our office today. Thank you, Doctor Good. Thank you,

162
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: Sophie said Bernice. See you next time, Bernice and Papa

163
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: said as they waved and walked back out to the

164
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: waiting room, where Papa signed some papers before they left.

165
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: Now that wasn't so bad, was it, Bernice said Papa. No,

166
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: it was okay. I guess I wish I could have

167
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: finished that episode of Franklin and Friends though. Do you

168
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: still feel like having some ice cream? Papa asked with

169
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: a smile. Yes, you know I would never say no

170
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: to ice cream? Can I have two scoops today? Since

171
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: I took a big breath and was brave, I'll share

172
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: with Twigger. I guess it's okay since you are going

173
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: to share with. Twigger replied her papa with a smile.

174
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: I love you, Papa. I love you too, little bear.

175
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: And that's the end of this glory. Good Night, sleep tight,

00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: sh
