Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister Jim. Oh.
Speaker 1: I was just getting ready for bed, are you as well?
Speaker 1: Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth and found
Speaker 1: all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have
Speaker 1: all those things ready, then it's time for our story.
Speaker 1: But first we must close our eyes so that we
Speaker 1: can travel to an imaginary world. Hallen and Miles were
Speaker 1: two young friends who love nothing more and going on
Speaker 1: adventures and exploring new places. They lived by the ocean
Speaker 1: and spent most of their days playing in the sand
Speaker 1: and splashing in the waves. Sometimes their sand castles would
Speaker 1: be so big and tall that they could even crawl
Speaker 1: inside of them. Have you ever built a sand castle
Speaker 1: that big before? Wow? Well, one day, while they were
Speaker 1: out playing, they heard a strange noise coming from the beach.
Speaker 1: They ran over to see what it was, and they
Speaker 1: were shocked to find a humongous whale stuck on the sand,
Speaker 1: struggling to get back into the water. Hallan and Miles
Speaker 1: knew they had to help. They had learned in school
Speaker 1: about how whale can get beached if they get too
Speaker 1: close to shore. They were very worried about this poor whale,
Speaker 1: so they sprang into action, determined to save it. They
Speaker 1: tried to push the whale back into the ocean, but
Speaker 1: it was far too heavy for them to move on
Speaker 1: their own, so they ran back to their houses to
Speaker 1: get help from their neighbors. Miles ran down his street
Speaker 1: and Halan ran down her street, knocking on every single
Speaker 1: door to see what neighbors might be able to help.
Speaker 1: They found many parents and kids, grandmas and grandpas, all
Speaker 1: willing to help save the whale that was stuck on
Speaker 1: the sand. What would you do if you found a
Speaker 1: whale that was stuck on the sand? Would you try
Speaker 1: to help it? Oh? Good, me too. When they returned
Speaker 1: to the beach with their parents, neighbors, and friends, they
Speaker 1: started to pull and push with all their might. This
Speaker 1: whale was almost as long as their houses. Wow. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine trying to push your house? Oh? I think
Speaker 1: I would need a lot of help for that. Together
Speaker 1: they all pushed and pulled, and finally, inch by inch,
Speaker 1: they pushed the whale back into the ocean. It was
Speaker 1: a huge job. Finally they succeeded. As the whales swam away,
Speaker 1: it turned to look at Hallen and Miles, they could
Speaker 1: see its eye poking out above the surface of the water.
Speaker 1: It leaned to its side and waved its fin as
Speaker 1: a way of saying thank you. Both Helen and Miles
Speaker 1: were very happy that they were able to save this
Speaker 1: poor whale that had been stuck. Not only had they
Speaker 1: helped save a life, a very important life, they also
Speaker 1: were able to pull all their friends, neighbors, and parents
Speaker 1: together to do the job as one. From that day on,
Speaker 1: Hallen and Miles made a promise to protect their beach.
Speaker 1: Part of this job and walking up and down the
Speaker 1: beach collecting any litter or trash that might have washed upshore,
Speaker 1: and also helping the animals that might have gotten stuck
Speaker 1: along their journey. They knew that by working together they
Speaker 1: could make one big difference in the world. Later that night,
Speaker 1: as they finished their day, Helen and Miles said goodbye
Speaker 1: to each other and went back to their houses. They
Speaker 1: got ready for bed brushed their teeth, But as they
Speaker 1: lay in bed that night thinking about their day's adventure,
Speaker 1: they couldn't help but smile. They knew that they had
Speaker 1: a very special job of protecting the beach and saving
Speaker 1: that whale, and they couldn't have done it without each
Speaker 1: other and all their friends. And with that thought, they
Speaker 1: fell asleep, dreaming of all the amazing adventures that they
Speaker 1: would have together in the future. Wow, as we fall
Speaker 1: asleep tonight, I wonder if there's something special waiting for
Speaker 1: you tomorrow, some kind of adventure or something that needs
Speaker 1: your help. Well, my friends, I think it's about time
Speaker 1: that we head to bed so that we can have
Speaker 1: our energy ready for whatever adventure waits us tomorrow. Good Night,
Speaker 1: my friends, and sweet dreams.
