1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. This is

2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: another story about our favorite bear, Bernice. Bernice is walking

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: home from school when she smells a delicious smell and

4
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: it is coming from her house. When she gets inside,

5
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: she asks Papa Bear what smells so good? Bernice tells

6
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: Papa Bear about her day, and soon it is time

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: to eat that delicious smelling food. Bernice is thankful. Bernice

8
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: was walking down the street towards her house after she

9
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: got off the school bus when she started to smell

10
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: something delicious in the air. I wonder what that is,

11
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: she thought to herself. As she went down the walkway

12
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: to their little house, the smell was even stronger, so

13
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: strong that her belly started to make gurgly noises. Papa

14
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: must be making something super delicious today, she said out loud.

15
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Hi Papa, I'm home, yelled Bernice as she opened the

16
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: door to their little house, and as quickly as she

17
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: possibly could, took off her sneakers and hung up her jacket.

18
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Taking a great big sniff, she said, I smell something

19
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: super super yummy. Is it a new cookie recipe? Papa?

20
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: After Bernice ran into the kitchen, Papa Bear said, I

21
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: did make some cookies, little bear. But what you say

22
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: smell is dinner. I'm making a special meal tonight, a

23
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: special meal for what, Papa? It's not my birthday yet,

24
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't think. And it's not Christmas yet? Did I

25
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: forget about Mama's birthday? It can't be yours because you

26
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be cooking for your birthday, right, ha haa. No,

27
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: it's nobody's special day today and we still have a

28
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: little time before Christmas. I'm cooking a great big meal

29
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: for some friends of ours who can't be with their

30
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: family this weekend for their usual big family meal, so

31
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Mama and I thought we could have them over here

32
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: to eat. I'm so so glad you and Mama decided

33
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: to do that because it smells so yummy. Am I drooling, Papa?

34
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: Because I feel like I am drooling? You are not.

35
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: How about some cookies and milk? Maybe that will help

36
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: those noises I am hearing from your tummy until our

37
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: guests come over for dinner. I would love some cookies, Papa.

38
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: You get some milk from the refrigerator and I'll get

39
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: us a plate of cookies. I made sugar cookies today

40
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: with some extra vanilla. Bernice got the milk from the

41
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: fridge and a couple of glasses for her and Papa Bear.

42
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: She then poured them each a glass of milk. Thank you,

43
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: little Bear. I appreciate you pouring me a glass too.

44
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: You're welcome, Papa. But I'm afraid I made a little

45
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: mess when I poured the milk. That's okay. We all

46
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: make messes, So tell me about your day at school.

47
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Well and then, but it was okay, Bernice tried to say,

48
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: with a mouth full of cookies, ha ha, why don't

49
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: you finish your cookie, take a drink of milk and

50
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: try again. It's easier to understand what you are saying

51
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: when you don't have a mouth full of cookies, Papa

52
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Bear said, laughing, these are very delicious. Papa, she said,

53
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: out of breath. Well, Papa, it was a good day

54
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: at school. Bobby and I went to the library during

55
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: one period and read a little bit about dinosaurs, which

56
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: wasn't my first choice, but Bobby loves dinosaurs. Next time,

57
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: he said, we could study what I want. But I

58
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: like dinosaurs too, so it's okay. Dinosaurs are fun to

59
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: learn about. Make sure that you get a chance to

60
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: study what you want. Next, you have your passions too,

61
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: and being a good friend means Bobby needs to follow

62
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: you sometimes. I know, Papa, it's not a big deal,

63
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: except he knows so much about dinosaurs. Papa, can we

64
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: have a class sometime about dinosaurs. I would like to

65
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: share with Bobby some facts about dinosaurs. We sure can.

66
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: What else happened today? You seem pretty hungry. Did you

67
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: eat all your lunch? No, Papa, I didn't eat all

68
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: my lunch. Oh why not? I thought you liked the

69
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: lunch I made for you today. Oh I do, Papa,

70
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: and I always eat it up unless I trade with Bobby.

71
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: But today, you see, I have a new friend, and

72
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: he didn't have a snack or lunch with him. He's

73
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: kind of quiet. But when I asked him why he

74
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: didn't bring lunch, he didn't really say. So I gave

75
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: him mine because I didn't want him to be hungry.

76
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: That was nice of you, little Bear, Papa Bear said.

77
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: Then Bobby gave me part of his sandwich, and the

78
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: teacher gave Donnie an apple and milk. It's nice to

79
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: see that your class came together to help Donnie, little Bear. Yes, Papa,

80
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: the teacher said, we are all in this together, and

81
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: we need to help each other out when we can.

82
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: And I always have food and cookies, so I think

83
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: it's important to share. How did you feel after sharing

84
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: your food with Donnie, Papa Bear asked, I felt good, Papa.

85
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: I like helping when I can. I'm glad to hear that,

86
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: little Bear. We are very lucky to have so much

87
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: good food to eat and a warm, cozy place to live.

88
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: It's important to give when we have so much. I'll

89
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: pack a little extra in your lunch bag tomorrow in

90
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: case your friend Donnie doesn't have enough. Would you like

91
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: another glass of milk before I go and finish dinner?

92
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Papa Bear asked, yes, please, Papa. After dinner and after

93
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: their guests left for the evening, Papa Bear and Bernice

94
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: slowly made their way up the stairs so that Bernice

95
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: could start her bedtime routine. Papa, I'm having a hard

96
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 1: time walking, and I'm having a super hard time walking

97
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: up these stairs. Why is that, little Bear, Papa Bear said, smiling.

98
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: I think I ate too much and my legs are

99
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: tired from carrying my full tummy. I know what you mean,

100
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: little bear, Papa Bear said, as he rubbed his belly

101
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful gift to have so much food to eat.

102
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: Why don't you go pick out which pajamas you want

103
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to wear and I'll get your bath ready. Okay, Papa,

104
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: don't forget the bubbles. I really need lots of bubbles tonight.

105
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: And I'm going to take Ducky and Goosey into the

106
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: bath again. And they love playing in bubbles, Bernice said

107
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: from her bedroom. Do you know what time it is, Papa?

108
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: Bernice said, as she crawled into her bed and got

109
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: cozy with her friends Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline. Is it

110
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: time for me to go to bed, Little Bear? After

111
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: all that food, I'm super sleepy, Papa Bear said, as

112
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: he covered his mouth while he yawned. I brushed my teeth,

113
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: put on my favorite pajamas, did some stretches, and took

114
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: some deep breaths. I'm growing up, Papa. Do you think

115
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: you could tell me a short story? Papa? Well, I

116
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: am very tired, little Bear. I'm not sure I have

117
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: the energy, Papa Bear said, teasing Bernice. What if I

118
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: told you a secret? Bernice whispered, Okay, what is the secret,

119
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: Papa Bear asked? Dinner was very delicious, Papa and I

120
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: am very grateful that I have lots to eat and

121
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: a home to live in and someone who cares for me. Papa,

122
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: you know I love you and Mama, right, Papa Bear replied,

123
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: I know, little Bear, we love you too. Are your

124
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: friends Twigger, Wolfy and Madeline ready for a short story?

125
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: They say they are ready, But could you do something first?

126
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: What might that be, Papa Bear asked, with his usual

127
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: big smile, could you give us a great, big h hug?

128
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: Four big bear hugs coming up. Once upon a time,

129
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: in a world full of magic and fun, there lived

130
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: a brave little bear named Booboo. She lived in a

131
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: large castle at the edge of a mystical forest. And

132
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: in this forest there were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all

133
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: manner of insects, birds and animals. It was a wonderful place.

134
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: Her best friend was a young dragon called Kai Kai,

135
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: and they liked to play as much as they could.

136
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: The kingdom they lived in was full of people who

137
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: lived in the meadows, those who lived in the hills,

138
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: and those that lived in the forest, and they all

139
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: lived in harmony. On this day, Bubu's friends Kai Kai

140
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: and Bluebell have joined her for a feast with her family.

141
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Booboo's father even had a special table made for her

142
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: large friends so they could eat in comfort. That sounds

143
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: like our table tonight, Papa Bernice whispered it does. Now

144
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: close your eyes and try to imagine a great, big

145
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: table in a great hall in a great castle. Thank

146
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: you for inviting us, Booboo. I don't think I have

147
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: been to a feast like this before. Kai Kai said,

148
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: as he surveyed all the food, trying to decide what

149
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: to eat first. Yes, thank you, Booboo. I see you

150
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: even have some foods that I like to eat. Bluebell said. Yes,

151
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: my father likes to include dishes that everyone likes to eat.

152
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: But to be honest, I love baked apples too, and

153
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: these have just the right amount of cinnamon and brown

154
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: sugar on them. They are very yummy, Booboo said. Welcome friends,

155
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: Boboo's father, the king said, with great authority. The table

156
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: became silent. Welcome to our great feast. This is one

157
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: of the two great feasts that we have every year,

158
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: and it is my pleasure to see so many friends

00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: all the food around this table that we have had

161
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: a bountiful harvest, and we are blessed with the best

162
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: kitchen in the kingdom. As is tradition, we will forget

163
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: our usual shyness and take this opportunity to share with

164
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: everyone what we are most grateful for. You go first,

165
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Papa Booboo said, with a laugh, My pleasure, for I

166
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: am the most grateful of all. I am grateful for

167
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: my health, though I must admit that I am no

168
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: longer as fast as my daughter and son. That's quite

169
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: an admission, Booboo's older brother interrupted with a laugh. Hum, yes,

170
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: I guess it is. I'm also grateful for my family

171
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: and all of you, and for all this wonderful food.

172
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Kai Kai then quickly stood up, towering over all the

173
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: others at the table, with his head just missing the

174
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: hanging lights above him. I would like to say that

175
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: I am thankful to have such good friends as Boo

176
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: Boo and Blue Bell, and for the opportunity to attend

177
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: such a great feast. Then, after Kai Ki sat down

178
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: without knocking anything over or stepping on anyone's toes, all

179
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: eyes turned to Bluebell, who instantly turned many colors of

180
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: the rainbow. Don't be shy, blue Bell, we are all

181
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: friends here, I could tell you stories of how nervous

182
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: Booboo gets whenever a toast or a speech must be made.

183
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: Bobo's father, the King, said, Papa Booboo warned with a smile,

184
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: don't worry. To be nervous is a wonderful thing, So

185
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: speak up if you like. Quietly, Blue Bell said, I

186
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: am grateful for my family and to be among such

Speaker 1: and please, someone lightened the mood with a few funnies,

191
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:22,440

192
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: Bear left the story there and gave Bernice a kiss

193
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: on the forehead, adjusted her blanket, making sure that her

194
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: friends were comfy too, turned off her lamp, and quietly whispered,

195
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: I love you, little bear, and that's the end of
