00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Hello. I'm Thomas, and I'm going to tell you a

4
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 2>story about a magical night in the sleepy little seaside

5
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 2>village of Snoozing on Sea. Perhaps you've been here before

6
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>and seen the good night parade, or perhaps not. But

7
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 2>before I begin, why don't you take some time to

8
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>make yourself as comfy and cozy as can be. Start

9
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>by making sure you're feeling as relaxed as possible. Maybe

10
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>you're lying flat on your back with your arms and

11
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>legs or stretched out, or maybe you're curled up nice

12
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>and tight in a snug little ball with your blanket

13
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>wrapped around you. However you are, it is perfectly fine

14
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>as long as you're nice and cozy. And now let's

15
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 2>return to the little town of Snoozing on Sea, where

16
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>sometimes magical things happen. This is where our story begins.

17
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>You are standing on a train platform, holding a suitcase

18
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and a thick envelope in your hand. If you look

19
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 2>to your right, you can see steep mountains. It is spring,

20
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>so the mountains are covered with trees. Sprouting new green leaves,

21
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>and on their grassy slopes, pink, orange, and purple wildflowers

22
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>are bursting into bloom. If you look to your left,

23
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you can see a sloping cobblestone road that leads down

24
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>through a traditional English village. You see cottages with thatched roofs,

25
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>a main street lined with small shops, and a church

26
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>with a tall spire. The village is nestled beside a

27
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>sandy bay. The ocean laps at the bay's shore and

28
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>it stretches out, bright and blue all the way to

29
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 2>the horizon. And if you look straight ahead, you see

30
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>a sign on the train platform which reads Welcome to

31
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Snoozing on Sea. You open the envelope. On the journey here,

32
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>you read the letter contained within it many times, but

33
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 2>now you read it again. It says, I am so

34
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>very pleased you agreed to visit me. Snoozing on Sea

35
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 2>is a small village, but I think you will rather

36
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>like it, and I promise you will have a very

37
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>magical sleep here. When you arrive, take the main road

38
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 2>from the station until you come to the carousel. There.

39
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Turn left. You'll come to a small cottage with a

40
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 2>bright yellow door and apple trees growing either side. I'll

41
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>be waiting for you. There, your friend, Elfrida Eider Down.

42
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>You follow Elfrida's directions walking down the main road from

43
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the station. As you stroll, a gentle breeze wafts over you.

44
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>The breeze is scented with damp perth and new flowers,

45
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>the smell of early spring. You stop at the carousel

46
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>to admire the brightly painted horses that prance up and

47
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 2>down on its spinning platform. The owner winks at you

48
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>as you go by. You wave and promise him you'll

49
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>return to ride his horses soon. To the left of

50
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>the carousel is a narrow, cobbled street. Trees grow either

51
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 2>side of the path, and their branches meet in the sky. Overhead.

52
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 2>You feel like you are wandering through an enchanted, leafy corridor.

53
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 2>At the end of the street is an apple tree

54
00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>covered in snow white apple blossoms. They smell like honey.

55
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Elfrida Rider Down greets you at the yellow front door

56
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 2>with a wide smile. She is a small lady with

57
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>bright white hair and twinkly eyes. And the apple tree

58
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 2>isn't the only thing that smells good. Through the door,

59
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 2>you sniff something sweet and warm and gently spicy. Elfrida

60
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>tells you that she's just baked a batch of cinnamon

61
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 2>crisp cookies. She leads you into her cozy kitchen, where

62
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 2>a pot of soup bubbles on the stove and a

63
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>marmalade cat lies curled up in a corner. You sit

64
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>at the wooden kitchen table while Elfrida serves you warm

65
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 2>cookies and a cool drink. The cookies are delicious, so

66
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>light that they almost dissolve on your tongue, leaving just

67
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:26.759
<v Speaker 2>the tingle of cinnamon in your mouth. Elfrida shows you

68
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>to your room. It's up a winding staircase in a

69
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>cozy turret. From your window, you can see all the

70
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>way to the ocean. Your bed is a big four

71
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>poster bed, heaped with squashy pillows and covered in a

72
00:07:52.879 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 2>colorful quilt. It looks so inviting you could imagine lying

73
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>down for an afternoon nap, head nestled against the pillows,

74
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 2>the quilt wrapped warmly around you, with no sound to

75
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>disturb you, except perhaps for the purring of Elfrida's cat.

76
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Elfrida smiles at you. She promises you'll get to stretch

77
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 2>out on the bed and sleep this evening. For now,

78
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 2>though it's such a beautiful afternoon, why don't you go

79
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>out and explore snoozing on sea. For such a small town,

80
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>says Elfrida, there really is plenty to do here. You

81
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>head outside and down the road until you reach the carousel.

82
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 2>The owner, a short man with dark eyes and a

83
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 2>curly mustache, grins when he sees you. He knew you'd

84
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 2>be back before too long. Rides cost one silver coin.

85
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:29.080
<v Speaker 2>The sign sets. You feel in your pocket, and as

86
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>if by magic, there is a shiny silver coin inside.

87
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>You pay the owner, then slowly stroll around the carousel,

88
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>choosing a horse to ride. Should you ride on the

89
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 2>yellow horse with painted buttercups on its saddle, The horse

90
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>with a rainbow mane and tail, the blue horse with

91
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 2>a cheek key twinkle in its sigh. In the end,

92
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 2>you choose the emerald green horse with the shiny red saddle,

93
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 2>and climb aboard. Swirling music starts to play and the

94
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:26.919
<v Speaker 2>carousel spins round. You move up and down on the

95
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 2>horse's back. You know the horse isn't real, but you

96
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 2>can almost feel the rhythm of its hoofs galloping along

97
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 2>beneath you. You're sure that you hear a playful whinnying

98
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 2>coming from it. You close your eyes and enjoy the

99
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 2>sensation of riding along on horseback, feeling the wind ruffle

100
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>your hair as you're married along, the music stops, replaced

101
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 2>by the sounds of twittering birds and the distant murmur

102
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>of the sea. The ride is over, You thank the

103
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 2>owner and turn to pat the emerald green horse farewell.

104
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>It tosses its head and knees a goodbye. You smile.

105
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps the carousel horse was more real than you thought. Next,

106
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>you go down the main street past Drizzleworth's Umbrellas, where

107
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>unfold umbrellas of every color are displayed in the window.

108
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 2>You wander by Rolfe's fire lin Shop, where you stop

109
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 2>to sniff the scent of sawdust and listen to the

110
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 2>strains of violin music floating through the open windows. And

111
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>finally you pass Petunia's Pancake Parlor, where people sit at

112
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>tables covered in checkered cloths and a waitress whizzes passed

113
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>with towering stacks of pancakes on a silver tray. You

114
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 2>continue walking down the cobboard streets all the way to

115
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:49.120
<v Speaker 2>the sea. Here, the beach is dotted with brightly painted hats.

116
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>A small shop sells ice cream by the scoop, and

117
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 2>the sea glitters a brilliant blue under the You hadn't

118
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>planned to go swimming, but the afternoon is lovely and warm,

119
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 2>and the water looks so inviting. Perhaps you can have

120
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 2>a quick paddle. You take off your shoes and walk

121
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>across the sand to the water's edge. The sand is

122
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 2>warm and squishy between your toes. The gentle sun feels

123
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:40.399
<v Speaker 2>like a blanket on your skin. You softly tread to

124
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the place where the waves are lapping against the beach,

125
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:49.639
<v Speaker 2>leaving soft white foam. When they pull back to sea,

126
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 2>You stretch out a toe and dip it into the water.

127
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>The temperature is effect not too warm and not too cold.

128
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 2>The water feels cool and silky. You put the rest

129
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.039
<v Speaker 2>of your foot into the sea, then step your other

130
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 2>foot in too. Gradually, you wade out just as far

131
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:36.120
<v Speaker 2>as you feel comfortable. It is peaceful and relaxing. You

132
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 2>notice the clouds drifting in the sky and the seagulls

133
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 2>flying overhead. Your breathing slows down to match the rhythm

134
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>of the waves as they lap slowly against the shore.

135
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 2>You stay like this for a few minutes, just breathing

136
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 2>deeply and enjoying the feeling of the sea against your

137
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>bare legs. Finally, you're ready to head back to the sand.

138
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 2>You dry off and put your shoes back on. The

139
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 2>sun is getting lower in the sky. It's late afternoon,

140
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>almost time to head back to Elfrida's cottage. All of

141
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, your tummy starts to rumble. Perhaps you should

142
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:56.080
<v Speaker 2>have stopped at Petunia's pancake parlor, But then you remember

143
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>the brightly painted ice cream storm. At the each's edge,

144
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a woman with long red hair is working behind the counter.

145
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>She smiles and waves her ice cream scoop at you

146
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:25.080
<v Speaker 2>as she sees you coming. You wonder what flavor you'll choose, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla,

147
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 2>But when you reach the counter you stop. The ice

148
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>creams here are quite different to any others you've ever seen.

149
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Some are multi colored, some sparkle like the Milky Way,

150
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 2>and all of them are labeled with very unusual flavors,

151
00:16:52.759 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>flavors like birthday, happiness or possibilities. The woman with the

152
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.759
<v Speaker 2>red hair notices your surprise and recommends you try their

153
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:13.640
<v Speaker 2>special dream cream flavor. It's the best ice cream you

154
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>can possibly imagine, she explains, and it's different for every

155
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:27.039
<v Speaker 2>person who tries it. You pause for a moment and

156
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.559
<v Speaker 2>imagine just how the best ice cream flavor you can

157
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 2>think of might taste. Your mouth starts to water. The

158
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 2>woman hounds you a big scoop of dream cream. You

159
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.680
<v Speaker 2>take a lick, and it's just like you imagined it

160
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 2>would be, only somehow even creamier and even more delicious.

161
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.599
<v Speaker 2>After you've finished the very last lick of your lovely

162
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:08.920
<v Speaker 2>ice cream, you start to head back to Elfrida's cottage.

163
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>On the way, you pass a small, mysterious shop where

164
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:22.559
<v Speaker 2>a sign in the window reads Fortunes Told by Sarah Fina.

165
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>A lady in a long purple dress wafts out as

166
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>you go past and tells you to wait. She has

167
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a fortune for you. She knows you need to be

168
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:47.000
<v Speaker 2>back at Elfrida's, so it's a very short fortune. This evening,

169
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.400
<v Speaker 2>she tells you, will be the most magical part of

170
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>your day. You're not so sure about that. Elfrida's home

171
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 2>is charming and cozy, but it's not exactly magical, and

172
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:12.240
<v Speaker 2>you've already done so many magical things today. You've ridden

173
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a carousel, horse that seemed to come alive and tasted

174
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.640
<v Speaker 2>an ice cream more delicious than you could have ever dreamed?

175
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Could there really be something more magical in store for

176
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you at Elfrida's At first, your evening with Elfrida is

177
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:46.359
<v Speaker 2>very far from magical. It's simple and ordinary in the

178
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 2>best possible way. You tell her about your day, and

179
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>she tells you about hers. You have a bowl of

180
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:06.279
<v Speaker 2>delicious soup for dinner. Afterwards, you sit in front of

181
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the fire with one of Elfrida's cats curled in your lap,

182
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:20.000
<v Speaker 2>watching the flames flickering lower and lower, until at last

183
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:27.799
<v Speaker 2>Elfrida announces it is time for bed. She shows you

184
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>into your room and wishes you good night. Before she leaves,

185
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>she turns around and warns you that the bed might

186
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:47.519
<v Speaker 2>twitch a little after you get in, but you shouldn't worry.

187
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:56.799
<v Speaker 2>That's completely normal. You wonder what on earth Elfrida means,

188
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:04.039
<v Speaker 2>but you don't have to wonder for very long. You

189
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.839
<v Speaker 2>put on a pair of fresh, clean pajamas, fold back

190
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the blankets, and climb into bed. Just as you are

191
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.920
<v Speaker 2>leaning your head back into a big pile of pillows,

192
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you feel a strange twitching sensation. You look at the

193
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 2>brass bed frame. It twitches again in a way that

194
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:41.720
<v Speaker 2>seems almost mischievous. With a whish of the wind, the

195
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 2>bedroom window flies open, the curtains flutter, and the night

196
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:57.839
<v Speaker 2>sky is spread with stars. The bed twitches beneath you again,

197
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:05.880
<v Speaker 2>seems excited, almost impatient, as if it's waiting for a

198
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:12.599
<v Speaker 2>sign from you. The fresh air feels good on your face,

199
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:19.799
<v Speaker 2>and you remember the fortune teller's words, this evening will

200
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 2>be the most magical part of your day. You are

201
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:31.680
<v Speaker 2>curious to see what the bed will do next, so

202
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:41.640
<v Speaker 2>you not and then you gasp. The bed is slowly

203
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:49.160
<v Speaker 2>rising off the floor. It floats airborne in the center

204
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:56.920
<v Speaker 2>of the room. Then it flies through the window and

205
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:04.400
<v Speaker 2>carries you out into the night sky. The bed floats

206
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 2>through the air. The evening is cool, but you snuggle

207
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 2>into your blankets and feel perfectly cozy. When you look down,

208
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>you can see all of snoozing on sea spread out

209
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:33.640
<v Speaker 2>beneath you, the little cottages, the shops, the carousel, and

210
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:42.400
<v Speaker 2>the sea shore. The bed flies higher and higher, and

211
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>soon you can't see the ground at all. Instead, you

212
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 2>are surrounded by twinkling stars. Some of them are shooting stars.

213
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 2>They streak through the sky, leaving golden trails behind them.

214
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:13.799
<v Speaker 2>The bed goes up and up and up. Now you

215
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:20.039
<v Speaker 2>are flying so high that you are in the Solar System.

216
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>You see the pink and purple clouds that move across

217
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the surface of Venus, the bright rings that circle Satin,

218
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and the deep clear blue of the planet Neptune. At last,

219
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the bed starts to sink lower and lower. As stars

220
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:57.359
<v Speaker 2>and clouds drift by. You feel yourself relax The nighttime

221
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>breeze wishes around you, and you sense your breath moving

222
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 2>in time with it, in and out, in and out.

223
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 2>The bed comes closer to Earth, and beneath you you

224
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 2>see an alpine forest. The bed flies over the top

225
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 2>of the trees, and you smell the clean, fresh scent

226
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:46.799
<v Speaker 2>of pine needles. Fireflies flash and sparkle in a clearing

227
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:53.759
<v Speaker 2>in the distance, there is the friendly hooting of an owl.

228
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.880
<v Speaker 2>The bed comes to land in a field of tall

229
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:07.720
<v Speaker 2>grasses and wild flowers. The grass sways to and fro

230
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 2>around the bed, and you feel your breath moving in

231
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:26.160
<v Speaker 2>time with the swaying grass, in and out, in and out.

232
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:34.480
<v Speaker 2>You are feeling very relaxed. When the bed floats up

233
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:41.960
<v Speaker 2>into the air once more, When you look down, you

234
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.480
<v Speaker 2>can see that you are leaving the forest and fields

235
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:54.200
<v Speaker 2>behind you and flying out over the sea. The sea

236
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 2>is dark and still, and the reflection of the moon

237
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 2>dances across its water. The bed drifts down onto the sea,

238
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 2>but it doesn't sink beneath the waves. Instead, it floats

239
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 2>like a ship. You lie back and admire a school

240
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:33.839
<v Speaker 2>of dolphins that splashes in the distance. The soft sound

241
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:42.319
<v Speaker 2>of the waves beneath your bed is soothing. Your eyes

242
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:50.119
<v Speaker 2>turn very heavy and full shut. You feel your breath

243
00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>moving in time with the splish splash of the waves,

244
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:11.640
<v Speaker 2>in and out, in and out. The bed twitches one

245
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.000
<v Speaker 2>final time, lifting off the surface of the sea and

246
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>flying back through the air once more. You are so

247
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 2>tired you don't pay much attention to where the bed

248
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:37.039
<v Speaker 2>is going. When it lands with a soft thud, you

249
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:45.119
<v Speaker 2>look around sleepily. You are in your familiar room at

250
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Elfrida's house. The bed is still unstable beneath you. You

251
00:28:55.119 --> 00:29:02.119
<v Speaker 2>cuddle into your warm blankets and feel your whole body relax.

252
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:12.519
<v Speaker 2>You've had a wonderful day and a truly magical evening,

253
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 2>just as the fortune teller predicted, and now it's time

254
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to sleep.

255
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>The US.

256
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 2>In the seas, music

257
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Was there away, no baby held under a medium Si
