1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Madeleine the

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: Monkey is waiting for the bestest time of the day,

3
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: story time. Papa Bear is getting ready to tell Bernice

4
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: her bedtime story, and Madeleine is all tucked in and ready.

5
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: When Papa Bear is finished, Madeleine isn't ready for sleep yet,

6
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: so she starts thinking about what she could do for Bernice.

7
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: Madeline the Monkey wants to do something nice. It was

8
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: that time again, the bestest time of the day. It

9
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: took a lot of patience to wait and wait and wait,

10
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: but every night, at this time it was super worth

11
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: it because it was that time, the time when Madeleine

12
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: got cozy and warm and listened to a story with

13
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: her most favorite friend in the whole wide world, Bernice.

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: During the day, Madeleine would swing, jump and run around

15
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: the house, but not too loudly because she didn't want

16
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: to disturb Papa Bear. This was fun. The house she

17
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: lived in was nice, with many places to jump and

18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: swing from, and it was always warm, even when the

19
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: ground was covered in pretty white snow. But it was

20
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: nighttime that Madeleine truly lived for. Madeleine was a stuffed

21
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: monkey and was one of Bernice's most trusted did bedtime friends.

22
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: At least that's what Bernice told them, and of course

23
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: Madeleine believed her their friendship was as strong as the

24
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: moonlight that peeks through the curtains each night at storytime.

25
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Bernice had great taste, as her room was full of

26
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: soft pillows and fluffy blankets that enveloped the room. Sometimes

27
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Madeline loved to bounce off or lay on them to

28
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: have a super comfy knack. The walls were full of

29
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: colorful posters of jungles, enchanted castles, dinosaurs, science stuff, and

30
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: far away galaxies, helping to fuel Madeleine's imagination as she

31
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: cuddled close to Bernice. There was also lots of science

32
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: stuff on Bernice's large desk, a microscope, glass bottles full

33
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: of different colored liquids, and other things. Madeleine didn't yet

34
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: understand Bernice was going to be a famous scientist one day.

35
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Madeleine knew it. It was that time. The time she

36
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: heard Bernice say, it's that time, Papa, and for Papa

37
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Bear to say, and what time is that, little bear?

38
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: The conversation always ended the same, with Papa Bear telling

39
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: a story. Now the lights were being turned down low,

40
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: and Papa Bear came to the side of Bernice's bed.

41
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes he sits on the floor, sometimes in a chair,

42
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: or even on the side of the bed. Madeleine was

43
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: getting super excited because she knew another superadventure with Booboo,

44
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: Kai Kai, or so many other stories would unfold. Squeeze

45
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: tight against Bernice. She listens. Once upon a time, in

46
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: a world full of magic and fun, there lived a

47
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: brave little bear named Booboo. She lived in a large

48
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: castle at the edge of a mystical forest. In this

49
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: forest were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all manner of insects,

50
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: birds and animals. It was a wonderful place. Her best

51
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: friend was a young dragon called Kai Kai, and they

52
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: liked to play as much as they could. The kingdom

53
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: they lived in was full of people who lived in

54
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: the meadows, those who lived in the hills, and those

55
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: who lived in the forest, and they all lived in harmony.

56
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: On this day, Boboo and Kai Kai were walking back

57
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: through the mystical forest after listening to Bixi's story about

58
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: the Old Academy. Bixi's stories are always interesting, Booboo said,

59
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with Kai Kai's huge steps. I

60
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: appreciate his storytelling and our extra classes with him, but

61
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: I would like to hear more exciting stories, something with

62
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: fast dragons or giant sea monsters from the fishing villages,

63
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: or maybe a chocolate tree that was growing out of

64
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: control until a large dragon came and ate its branches.

65
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Kai Kai said, me, guess who that dragon eating the

66
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: chocolate tree would be. Booboo said with a laugh, hmmm,

67
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's the kind of adventure I

68
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: would love. I could be a hero if it meant

69
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: eating lots of chocolate. I'm sure you could, but you

70
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: have helped lots of people even without chocolate. We both

71
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: try to help as much as we can. Booboo, The

72
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: old Academy sounds stuffy. Kai Kai said, yes, maybe a

73
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: little bit. I like learning outside more than in a

74
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: stuffy classroom. I've done some reading, and in the time

75
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: before the Old Academy, our kingdom wasn't as magical a

76
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: place as it is now, and I heard from some

77
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: travelers that many far off places are still the same,

78
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: with far less good fairy magic than what we enjoy today.

79
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: We are very lucky, far fewer chocolate treats too. I

80
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: would guess, Kai Kai said, because, as usual, most conversations

81
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: with Kai Kai always included food. I think the only

82
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: unfortunate aspect of our school these days is that you

83
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: dragons have your own school. Now, what fun we could

84
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: have if we both went to the same school. I agree,

85
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: as long as I didn't have to sit in those

86
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: tiny desks you have to use. I might have a

87
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: hard time fitting into those. That would be very funny

88
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: seeing you stuffed inside a small sized desk, Booboo said, laughing.

89
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: The unicorns have their own school too, Kaiki replied, yes,

90
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: and some fairies have their own as well. I think

91
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: that is one of the reasons that Bixie still teaches

92
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: outside his cottage in the mystical forest, so that all

93
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: of us get to be together learning from him and

94
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: each other. True, I wouldn't have met you or Bluebell

95
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: if it were not for Bixie, and you wouldn't get

96
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: to slow down and walk through the forest and see

97
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: all the beautiful flowers that line the known paths. The

98
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: forests and the meadows smell nice this time of year, yes,

99
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: they do. But speaking of things that smell nice, are

100
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: we still going to get ice cream? Oh? Kai Kai? Yes?

101
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: I would love to get some. Are we returning to

102
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: the place we went before with the chocolate tree? I

103
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: mean you have mentioned chocolate trees twice now, so it

104
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: must be on your mind. Yes, let's visit Cocoa Ferry again.

105
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite places. Kai Kai said as

106
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: they came to a clearing in the forest full of blue,

107
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: purple and pink flowers. Coco Fairy it is. I don't

108
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: suppose we could fly there. It's a long walk, I think,

109
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: Booboo said, with a smirk. That's a great idea. Hop on.

110
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Kai Kai spread his wings, took to the air with

111
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: Booboo on his back, and they flew off to have

112
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: ice cream at their favorite treats shop, the Coco Fairy.

113
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: Madeline watched with one eye closed so that Papa Bear

114
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't know she was still awake. As he tucked her, Twigger, Wolfy,

115
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: and Bernice tight under the covers, he gave each and

116
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: everyone a kiss on the forehead, said good night, and

117
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: turned out the light as he left the room. Bernice

118
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: was fast asleep. Wiga, are you asleep? Madelene whispered. Twigger

119
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: was asleep, Wolfy Madelene whispered, are you asleep. Wolfe was

120
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: asleep too, Madeleine wasn't ready to sleep just yet. This

121
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: happened sometimes when she was thinking about one of the

122
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: stories that Papa Bear told, she would want to think

123
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: about how fun riding on the back of a dragon

124
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: would be, or to visit the mystical forest. Sometimes she

125
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: would make up stories until she let out a great,

126
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: big yawn and fell into a deep sleep. But tonight,

127
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: as Madeline lay quietly beside Bernice, she thought about how

128
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: nice Bernice always was to her. She always gave her hugs,

129
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: talked to her, and whenever she was doing science experiments,

130
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: she would always share with her and Twigger and Wolfie

131
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: the experiments. When she was sad, she would share with

132
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: her what made her sad, and when she was happy,

133
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: she would do the same. She was a super friend,

134
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: and since Bernice was always so nice, she thought she

135
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: could do something nice for her, something big and fancy.

136
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I could create a card for Bernice. I could

137
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: decorate it with glitter stickers and drawings and express my

138
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: appreciation for our friendship. That might be a good idea,

139
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: she thought, But it doesn't sound so fancy, Madeline thought

140
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: a bit more. I know I could wake up early

141
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: and prepare a delicious breakfast for Bernice. I could make

142
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: her favorite fruits, pancakes, and a cup of hot cocoa

143
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: with a marshmallow smiley face. That would be good. She

144
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: would appreciate that, I think. But the only problem was

145
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: Papa Bear was always in the kitchen and he might

146
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: spoil the surprise if he saw me, so that wouldn't work.

147
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: Or I could bake cookies for her. She loves cookies

148
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: and she sometimes shares her cookies with us, but that's

149
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: Papa Bear's treat and I don't know how to bake

150
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: cookies anyway, so that won't work either. Hmm. She thought,

151
00:12:53,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: and she thought, and she thought, I know, I could

152
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: book us a trip to a science museum in New York,

153
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: or maybe one in Paris. I'm sure they have one

154
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: in those places, and we could go to a famous

155
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: cookie bakery while we are visiting. I'm sure big cities

156
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: like New York and Paris have places that bake cookies.

157
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: They might not be as good as Papa Bears, but

158
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: they might be good enough. Then she thought, but I

159
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: don't actually have any money, so that won't work either.

160
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: I think I am all out of ideas. Then a

161
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: thought occurred to Madeleine. Maybe the best thing I can

162
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: do is what we've always done for each other, be

163
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: there as her bestest friend. She looked at Bernice, fast asleep,

164
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: and smiled. She realized that their friendship was the most

165
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: super wonderful gift that she could give. Friends don't need

166
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: their friends to give them big fancy things or big surprises.

167
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: They just need them to do what they always did,

168
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: be there for each other. You're my bestest friend, Bernice,

169
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: Madeleine whispered softly. Madeleine snuggled closer to Bernice, feeling grateful

170
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: for her friendship. Even though she was asleep. Madeleine knew

171
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: she understood deep inside too, and so Madeleine closed her eyes,

172
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: feeling the warmth of their friendship surrounding her. In that

173
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: quiet moment, she knew that their being there for each

174
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: other was the most special thing anyone could do, and

175
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: it made their friendship even more special. And that is

176
00:15:09,080 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: the end of this story. Good Night, sleep tight, but

177
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: but in dead
