00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Hello there, I'm Vanessa. I'm so happy to have you

4
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 2>here with me. Soon we're going to hear a story

5
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.760
<v Speaker 2>about a little boy named Ahmed who is hosting a

6
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 2>fun summer pool party. Before we join Ahmed, let's get

7
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 2>ready to go to sleep. First, take a big stretch,

8
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>move your arms and legs around. Wiggle your fingers and toes. Next,

9
00:00:54.159 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>take a big breath in and then let it out

10
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>like you're a dragon breathing fire.

11
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Very good.

12
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Now it's time to settle down. Try to keep as

13
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>still as you can and close your eyes. We're going

14
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>to use our imaginations. Let's meet Ahmed at his home

15
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 2>where he's about to have a great summer.

16
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 3>Day by the pool.

17
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>The big bright sun shines down on Ahmed's house this morning.

18
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Little beams of sunlight dance through his bedroom window, making

19
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>sparkles on the wall. Ahmed has just woken up from

20
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>a good night's sleep. Ahmed blinks his eyes open and

21
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 2>stretches his arms out as wide as they can go.

22
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Ah He yawns. He feels happy and rested. But before

23
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>he can go downstairs to find his mommy and daddy,

24
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed remembers something important. I have to make my bed first,

25
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>he says to himself. He gets to work right away. First,

26
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>he moves his pillow to the side. Then he pulls

27
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>up the sheet. Next, he pulls up the fluffy duvet

28
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 2>and smooths it out. Finally, Ahmed puts the pillow back

29
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>in its special spot right at the top of his bed.

30
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>He steps back to take a look perfect. Now he

31
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>is ready to go downstairs to find his mommy and daddy.

32
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 2>As Ahmed walks down the stairs, he smells something delicious.

33
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>The yummy smell of homemade pancakes and maple syrup floats

34
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>through the air. Pancakes are his favorite, but as Ahmed

35
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 2>gets to the bottom of the stairs, he suddenly forgets

36
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>all about about pancakes. His eyes get big when he

37
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 2>sees something exciting on the sofa, his swimming trunks, sunscreen

38
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and a big.

39
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Bouncy beach ball.

40
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed collaps his hands with excitement. He loves being outside

41
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>in the summertime, but his absolute favorite thing to do

42
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 2>is go swimming. Every summer, Mommy and Daddy take him

43
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 2>to the community pool. But this summer is different. This summer,

44
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed has a swimming pool in his own backyard. His

45
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>mommy and daddy built the pool when the leaves were

46
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>changing from green to yellow, but it was too cold

47
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>to use it back then. At least that's what Ahmed's

48
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>mommy and daddy told him. If it were up to Ahmed,

49
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 2>he would swim in the pool all year long. He's

50
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>very brave. Mommy and Daddy smile at Ahmed as he

51
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>runs toward the kitchen. Good morning, Ahmed, they say. Their

52
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>voice is full of cheer. Good morning, Ahmed says back.

53
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>As he zooms past them. He runs straight to the

54
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>big sliding glass door by the dining table. Ahmed presses

55
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>his hands against the glass and looks outside.

56
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 3>He sees that the sun.

57
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Is shining on the wooden porch and the sparkly blue pool.

58
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 2>The water looks so clean and clear. Ahmed notices the

59
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>pool chairs are all set up just like the sun umbrellas.

60
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Mommy and Daddy must have done all of this while

61
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 2>he was sleeping. They must have checked the weather forecast too,

62
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 2>and they knew it would be the perfect day for

63
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 2>a first swim. Ahmed thinks about all the fun he'll

64
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>have today, splashing into the cool water, playing games with

65
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the beach ball, bouncing on a big floaty. There are

66
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>so many exciting things to do, but first Ahmed has

67
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 2>to have breakfast. At the dining table, Daddy is putting

68
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>down plates and Mommy is carrying over a tall stack

69
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>of fluffy pancakes. There is also a little jug of

70
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>maple syrup and a bowl of colorful fruit like strawberries, bananas,

71
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 2>and blueberries. Everything is laid out in the center of

72
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 2>the breakfast table and it all looks yummy. Ahmed tells

73
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>his mommy and daddy thank you for making this delicious breakfast.

74
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Then they all sit down to eat. Ahmed takes a

75
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>big bite of his first pancake and thinks about the

76
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 2>wonderful day ahead. Soon, Mommy's phone begins to ring. She

77
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:54.720
<v Speaker 2>quietly gets up from the table and answers the call.

78
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed hears his mommy talk talking about the pool and

79
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>how his friends Madelene Jackson and the other kids are

80
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>coming and she would love to have Lucia at the

81
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>pool party two. Ahmed's eyes go wide. He did not

82
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>expect a pool party with his friends. This really is

83
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the best day ever, Ahmed's mommy smiles as she hangs

84
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>up the phone. She tells Ahmed that she invited all

85
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 2>his friends from the neighborhood to come over and swim today.

86
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>The weather is hot outside and it's the perfect day

87
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>for a pool party. Now, Ahmed really can't wait to

88
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 2>be outside and in the water. After he finishes his

89
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>fruit and pancakes, he quickly runs upstairs to brush his

90
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 2>teeth and rinse off. His daddy follows up the stairs

91
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>behind him, carrying Ahmed's swim trunks.

92
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 3>They are very nice.

93
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 2>They have little blue and white waves and big gray

94
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 2>sharks on them. Sharks are one of Ahmed's favorite animals.

95
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Soon enough, Ahmed comes out of the back room with

96
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>his skin all clean and his teeth freshly brushed. He

97
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 2>stands proudly in his shark swim trunks.

98
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 3>He looks awesome.

99
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed runs back down the stairs and sees the patio's

100
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>glass door is open. He can already feel the warm

101
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>summer day outside. His mommy and daddy are getting everything

102
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:50.879
<v Speaker 2>ready for the pool party. Mommy is almost finished inflating

103
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>a big blue dolphin when she turns to see Ahmed

104
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>all ready to go swimming. She smiles at Ahmed and

105
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 2>tells him he looks awesome in his new swim trunks.

106
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Then she starts setting out drinks and snacks. Ahmed seas

107
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 2>fruit iced tea, little sandwiches and veggies. It all looks delicious,

108
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed thinks. He watches his mommy finish the table and

109
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 2>then he makes his way to the swimming pool. He

110
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:54.080
<v Speaker 2>walks down the three steps that lead from the patio

111
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 2>to the blue tiles that's around the swimming pool, but

112
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 2>before he reaches the water, his mommy calls to him.

113
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>She is holding up a big white and yellow bottle

114
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>of sunscreen. Of course, Ahmed needs to wear sunscreen on

115
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:29.440
<v Speaker 2>a sunny day like this one. He walks back up

116
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 2>the patio stairs and meets his mommy beneath one of

117
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the sun umbrellas. She already has the bottle of sunscreen

118
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>open and Ahmed can smell its summer scent. Ahmed holds

119
00:13:52.600 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 2>out his arms as he smears the white liquid onto them.

120
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:06.799
<v Speaker 2>But of course, Ahmed needs the sunscreen to cover all

121
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 2>of his exposed skin, so he helps his mommy by

122
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:20.320
<v Speaker 2>pouring some of the liquid into his hands and rubbing

123
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 2>it into his legs. Mommy then squeezes some more sunscreen

124
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 2>into her hands and gently rubs the rest onto Ahmed's

125
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>shoulders back and Tommy it feels a little cold, and

126
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed giggles. Now I'm definitely ready for the pool party, right, Mommy,

127
00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:05.919
<v Speaker 2>he asks, almost, she says. She turns around and grabs

128
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the two yellow arm floaties.

129
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 3>One by one.

130
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 2>She slides them up Ahmed's small arms, making sure they're

131
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:29.879
<v Speaker 2>snug but comfy. That way, he'll be nice and safe

132
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 2>in the water. Now you're ready for the pool party, Ahmed,

133
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>she says with a big smile, And just in time.

134
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed hears the gate to the backyard rattle. He turns

135
00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 2>around to see Madeleine, Lucia, and Lucy is Mommy coming

136
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>through the gate. They wave at Ahmed. He can see

137
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:19.799
<v Speaker 2>they are also very excited about this pool party. The

138
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 2>gate rattles again, this time Jackson, his Mommy, Maggie, and

139
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Abigail step inside. Ahmed smiles as his friends race up

140
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.559
<v Speaker 2>the patio steps to join him.

141
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 3>Everyone is so ready for swimming.

142
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>They're all wearing their swimsuits, sunscreen and floaties to stay safe.

143
00:16:58.879 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 3>In the water.

144
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed can't wait any longer. He turns and asks his

145
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:18.720
<v Speaker 2>mommy if he can get in the pool. Mommy laughs

146
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:28.640
<v Speaker 2>and nots. Ahmed turns to his friends and says, watch this,

147
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 2>before running and jumping into the water, making a big splash.

148
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:48.759
<v Speaker 2>He bobs his head up. Water drips from his hair

149
00:17:49.839 --> 00:18:00.200
<v Speaker 2>as he wipes his eyes. That was awesome, he said, yes.

150
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Jackson jumps in next splash, followed by Maggie and Abigail,

151
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>who giggle as they hold hands and hop in together.

152
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Madelene takes a running leap splash, while Lucia carefully steps

153
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 2>down the pool stairs one.

154
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 3>Foot at a time.

155
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>She isn't ready to jump in just yet, and that's

156
00:18:50.680 --> 00:19:03.559
<v Speaker 2>perfectly okay. Suddenly, Ahmit's daddy tosses the big beach ball

157
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.480
<v Speaker 2>into the middle of the pool.

158
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.279
<v Speaker 3>Get it, Jackson says.

159
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 2>The kids all starts blashing and paddling, trying to grab

160
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:34.319
<v Speaker 2>the ball first. Ahmed reaches for it, but Maggie gets

161
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:43.920
<v Speaker 2>there just a second before him. She giggles and tosses

162
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 2>it high into the air for the next person.

163
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Catch. She calls out.

164
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed bobs up, but the ball lands with a big

165
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:12.359
<v Speaker 2>plup into the water. Everyone laughs as they race toward

166
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:22.519
<v Speaker 2>it again. Then Mommy brings over the giant dolphin float.

167
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Ahmed and the others splash their way over to the float.

168
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Abigail climbs on first, holding on tight as the float

169
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>wobbles on the water. Jackson and Madelene push it gently,

170
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>making her scream with laughter before she slides up with

171
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>a splash. Now it's Ahmet's turn. He flops his body

172
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 2>over top of the dolphin and holds on to its neck.

173
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 2>His friends starts spinning him in circles, making him giggle.

174
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 2>The pool is full of laughter, splashes, and happy shouts

175
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 2>with the sun hanging bright in the blue sky. Ahmed

176
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:12.839
<v Speaker 2>knows this is going.

177
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.920
<v Speaker 3>To be the best.

178
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Pool party ever, and so Ahmed and his friends continue

179
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 2>to splish blash.

180
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:34.480
<v Speaker 3>In the pool.

181
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:49.759
<v Speaker 2>For what feels like hours of endless fun. Later, Mommy

182
00:22:50.160 --> 00:23:03.279
<v Speaker 2>will call Ahmed and his friends over for a snack. There,

183
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:11.480
<v Speaker 2>they will take a break from the sunshine and have

184
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:17.079
<v Speaker 2>sandwiches under the sun umbrellas.

185
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.680
<v Speaker 3>His Mommy will make.

186
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Sure all the kids drink a big cup of water

187
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:44.240
<v Speaker 2>before going back to swim. She says it's important to

188
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:51.720
<v Speaker 2>drink water when it's hot outside.

189
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:55.279
<v Speaker 3>And much later.

190
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>After a long day playing in the sun, Ahmed will be.

191
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Very sleepy.

192
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:26.599
<v Speaker 2>He will have a good night's rest, once again dreaming

193
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:34.920
<v Speaker 2>of the next pool party with his very best

194
00:24:36.480 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Friends, us
