Sneaking Into The World Cup ⚽️ Cozy Bedtime Story for Kids 🌙 💤 with Koko The Koala 🐨 · Abide Meditation App

Speaker 1: Tonight's bedtime story is Sneaking into the World Cup by
0:05
Speaker 1: Luke Prendergast. Let's get cozy and drift off together before
0:12
Speaker 1: we do, could you please tap subscribe. By doing this
0:16
Speaker 1: small thing, you'll let YouTube know you love what we do,
0:20
Speaker 1: which will help us grow. Let's get ourselves cozy, snuggle down,
0:26
Speaker 1: and I'll begin. Deep in the heart of a faraway forest,
0:33
Speaker 1: there stirred a cozy wooden cabin. Inside the cabin lived
0:38
Speaker 1: a family of koalas Cocoa, his parents and grandparents, and
0:43
Speaker 1: his little sister, Kira the panda. And today, Coco and
0:48
Speaker 1: Kira are sitting at their kitchen table staring at a
0:52
Speaker 1: ginormous pile of chocolate footballs.
0:57
Speaker 2: I never thought i'd say.
0:59
Speaker 1: This, murmured Kira. But there are simply too many chocolates,
1:08
Speaker 1: way too many. Coco agreed. I don't think we could
1:14
Speaker 1: eat this much chocolate, even if we had one million years.
1:20
Speaker 1: Kira sighed. Cocoa wrinkled his dark, velvety nose. Well, maybe
1:29
Speaker 1: we could do it in a week. Oh yes, said Kira,
1:35
Speaker 1: nodding quickly. We could probably do it in a week,
1:39
Speaker 1: but in one evening. Why if I ate that much chocolate.
1:45
Speaker 1: I think I might just turn into a chocolate panda.
1:49
Speaker 1: Coco chuckled. Luckily for you, he said, if you did
1:55
Speaker 1: turn into a chocolate panda, I'd probably be two for
2:00
Speaker 1: of chocolate to eat you until tomorrow. That is all right? Then,
2:06
Speaker 1: come on, we really ought to get started, And almost reluctantly,
2:12
Speaker 1: which was quite unbelievable given that they were talking about chocolate,
2:17
Speaker 1: Cocoa and Kira reached out their paws, took up a
2:21
Speaker 1: chocolate football leach and began to unwrap the foil. The
2:26
Speaker 1: reason they had such a big mount of chocolate footballs
2:29
Speaker 1: was because just last week, Papa Parline, who ran the
2:32
Speaker 1: very impressive chocolate factory on the outskirts of Sleepy Forest,
2:37
Speaker 1: had made an exciting announcement to celebrate the final of
2:42
Speaker 1: the Koala Kingdom World Cup, which was taking place that weekend.
2:47
Speaker 1: Papa Parline was giving away two golden tickets to the match.
2:52
Speaker 1: The catch these two tickets were hidden inside one of
2:58
Speaker 1: the special edition chocolate footballs the factory had been producing
3:02
Speaker 1: in honor of the tournament. As soon as Coco and
3:07
Speaker 1: Kira heard about the prize, they just knew they had
3:11
Speaker 1: to find the winning chocolate football. The Koala Kingdom World
3:16
Speaker 1: Cup had been the most exciting event in ages, and
3:21
Speaker 1: all the teams had given it their all. Moonbeam Heights
3:25
Speaker 1: had beaten Pillowy Peaks before being eliminated by the Sleepy Foresters,
3:31
Speaker 1: and both Harmony Cove and Lower Starry Skies had been
3:35
Speaker 1: beaten by Wonder Junglers. Now it was time for the final,
3:41
Speaker 1: Sleepy Forest versus Wonder Jungle. Could anything be more thrilling?
3:48
Speaker 1: Kira cracked open a chocolate football so that it fell
3:52
Speaker 1: into two jagged halves, rolling from side to side on
3:56
Speaker 1: the table, empty, she said, picking up a fragment of
4:01
Speaker 1: chocolate and taking a bite.
4:04
Speaker 2: Hm.
4:05
Speaker 1: Delicious, though, that's Papa parline for you, said Coco. Best
4:12
Speaker 1: chocolate in the whole wide universe, bar none. Try another,
4:21
Speaker 1: And as Kira plucked up another chocolate football, he added, Oh,
4:26
Speaker 1: I wonder who's going to win the final? I bet
4:30
Speaker 1: it's going to be the Wonder Junglers. After all, they've
4:34
Speaker 1: got Lionel messy mane with a tail flick like that.
4:38
Speaker 1: Lion's got no one'll be able to stop him from scoring.
4:44
Speaker 1: And for a moment, Coco sat in silence, just picturing
4:49
Speaker 1: the striker with his tangled golden mane. Oh to be
4:55
Speaker 1: that talented at football. Slow moment, right, Kira piped up,
5:02
Speaker 1: puncturing Coco's daydream. She was referring to the beloved goalkeeper
5:08
Speaker 1: on the Sleepy Foresters team, his slow motion visions the
5:13
Speaker 1: only thing that might be able to stop messy mainspeed. Hmm,
5:19
Speaker 1: nothing in this one either, That's true, Coco said, unwrapping
5:25
Speaker 1: another chocolate football of his own. Plus, Sleepy Forest is
5:30
Speaker 1: our home team, so we ought to support them. They
5:34
Speaker 1: carried on this way all the most famous Kingdom players
5:39
Speaker 1: like Killiannaconda and Bappe, the swiftest snake on the pitch,
5:44
Speaker 1: or Dude Bellinghamster, a small but mighty midfielder, until at
5:50
Speaker 1: last all of the chocolate eggs lay open on the table,
5:55
Speaker 1: open and unfortunately empty. Kira let out a little sigh
6:03
Speaker 1: and then shrugged. Oh well, she said, there's always to morrow.
6:12
Speaker 1: Now what do we do about all this chocolate? They
6:17
Speaker 1: gobbled down as much as they could, but in the
6:20
Speaker 1: end the pile of chocolate defeated them, so they carried
6:24
Speaker 1: it in armfuls, melted chocolate still shining on their lips,
6:29
Speaker 1: and handed it out to their neighbors, who were all
6:33
Speaker 1: very happy for a pre bedtime treat. For the next
6:38
Speaker 1: three days, Cocoa and Kira emptied their piggy banks, turning
6:43
Speaker 1: them over and shaking them until each and every little
6:47
Speaker 1: silver coin jangled out, so that they could buy as
6:51
Speaker 1: many chocolate footballs as they could from the shops. And
6:56
Speaker 1: each evening after dinner, they would sit and peel the
7:00
Speaker 1: boiled from the footballs, crack them into and sigh in
7:04
Speaker 1: disappointment to find another one empty of any golden ticket.
7:11
Speaker 1: On the evening before the Grand Final, there came a
7:14
Speaker 1: knock at the door. Who was there, Uncle Keith. He'd
7:19
Speaker 1: been invited over for dinner. He slipped his blue security
7:23
Speaker 1: guard's hat off his head, wrung it in his paws,
7:27
Speaker 1: and then spotted Coco and Kira at the table. What's up,
7:33
Speaker 1: you two, he asked, why the long faces Gloomily, Coco
7:41
Speaker 1: and Kira inspected each other's faces. I think Kira's face
7:47
Speaker 1: is quite round, actually, Coco said, And I'd say Coco's
7:52
Speaker 1: is shaped like a heart, added Kira. Uncle Keith shook
7:58
Speaker 1: his head. Guys, here's an expression. It means you're looking
8:06
Speaker 1: out of sorts. Down in the dumps, come on YouTube,
8:10
Speaker 1: Why it's a glump and what's this pile of chocolate for?
8:15
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith poured out a chair, sat down, and Kira
8:20
Speaker 1: explained the whole sorry affair, that they'd spent all their
8:24
Speaker 1: pocket money on chocolate footballs and yet still no golden ticket.
8:32
Speaker 1: Cocoa flicked a scrunched up bit of foil sullenly across
8:35
Speaker 1: the table. Now there's no chance of us getting to
8:41
Speaker 1: see the grand final of the Koala Kingdom World Cup.
8:46
Speaker 1: Kira's bottom lip stuck out in her most disgruntled pout.
8:52
Speaker 1: She was staring down at two open hemispheres of chocolate.
8:57
Speaker 2: Oh, if only we could sneak into the game inside
9:01
Speaker 2: the football, just like the golden tickets have been supposedly
9:07
Speaker 2: snuck into these. It's just a joke, of course, or
9:13
Speaker 2: something between a joke and wishful thinking. But at these words,
9:19
Speaker 2: there was a sudden scraping of chair legs against the
9:23
Speaker 2: cabin's wooden floor. Uncle Keith was on his feet, his
9:28
Speaker 2: finger in the air, a bright light dawning in his eyes.
9:33
Speaker 2: What a trific idea, he exclaimed. What is asked Cocoa,
9:42
Speaker 2: Why the idea that Kira just had. Kira, even though
9:48
Speaker 2: she was still disappointed about not finding a ticket, couldn't
9:53
Speaker 2: help but giggle at the suggestion. Oh, Uncle Keith, she said,
10:00
Speaker 2: sing her tummy. I'm not sure it is. Imagine how
10:05
Speaker 2: dizzy Cocoa and I would get spinning through the air,
10:09
Speaker 2: trapped in the football when Messi Mayne gives us a
10:13
Speaker 2: whip with his lion's.
10:14
Speaker 1: Tail, and then we landed on the floor. Coco laughed off.
10:21
Speaker 1: What that would hurt? Well, said Uncle Keith. I'm glad
10:27
Speaker 1: that has turned your frowns upside down. But I didn't
10:32
Speaker 1: mean we could sneak you into the stadium inside the
10:36
Speaker 1: football the player's kick. I meant we could sneak you
10:42
Speaker 1: in inside the football. The players win now all at once.
10:50
Speaker 1: Cocoa and Kira were intrigued. Their ears pricked, their noses twitched,
10:56
Speaker 1: and they gazed at Uncle Keith with unwavering expressis. What
11:02
Speaker 1: do you mean, Coco asked, But Uncle Keith only tapped
11:07
Speaker 1: his nose. You'll see, you'll see, he said, already walking
11:13
Speaker 1: towards the door. Meet me at the rear entrance of
11:17
Speaker 1: the Moonbeam Bowl in Moonbeam Heights before the match starts.
11:22
Speaker 1: Mum's the word, but Keith, Coco and Kira's mum called
11:28
Speaker 1: from the other end of the kitchen.
11:30
Speaker 2: You can't be leaving.
11:32
Speaker 1: We haven't even had dinner yet. No time to lose,
11:36
Speaker 1: Keith replied, closing the cabin door behind him. See you tomorrow,
11:42
Speaker 1: don't be late, And just like that he was gone,
11:46
Speaker 1: leaving everyone blinking at each other in befuddlement. Little did
11:51
Speaker 1: Coco and Kira know, but Uncle Keith stayed up working
11:56
Speaker 1: much of the night and for many hours the next
11:59
Speaker 1: day too. From inside his workshop could be heard the
12:03
Speaker 1: sounds of hammers and drills, of soaring and banging, and
12:08
Speaker 1: at one point, the bright blue fan of sparks from
12:12
Speaker 1: a welding iron could be seen lighting up the gap
12:15
Speaker 1: beneath his workshop door. My ome, my Bread, the white
12:22
Speaker 1: feathered duck, remarked to her sister Butter, as they drifted
12:26
Speaker 1: past on the gentle currents of the sleepy river. I
12:30
Speaker 1: do wonder what Keith is making in there her racket
12:36
Speaker 1: it sounds like, replied Butter. But even though they had
12:41
Speaker 1: no idea what their uncle Keith was up to, Cocoa
12:45
Speaker 1: and Kira did as he said. The next evening, as
12:50
Speaker 1: dusk began to fall over the forest. They made their
12:54
Speaker 1: way to the train station and hopped on a train
12:57
Speaker 1: to Moonbeam Heights. SEMy pink colored skyscrapers towered above them
13:04
Speaker 1: as they headed down the streets alongside a growing crowd
13:08
Speaker 1: of other spectators. They were all decked out in brightly
13:13
Speaker 1: colored football jerseys, chattering excitedly about the upcoming match and
13:19
Speaker 1: clutching tickets tightly in their hands. Coco and Kira tried
13:26
Speaker 1: their best not to let the sight of all these
13:28
Speaker 1: people with sure fire ways of getting into the stadium
13:33
Speaker 1: worry them. After all, even though they didn't get tickets,
13:38
Speaker 1: they were sure that Uncle Keith had something up his sleeves.
13:42
Speaker 1: They just didn't know what that something was. Soon the
13:47
Speaker 1: Moonbeam Bowl appeared in front of them. It resembled, Coco thought,
13:53
Speaker 1: a huge silver cloud floating above the ground, with beams
13:58
Speaker 1: of light shooting out of the interior and scoping across
14:03
Speaker 1: the inky black sky. From within, you could already hear
14:08
Speaker 1: the noise of the crowd like the low rumble of thunder.
14:14
Speaker 1: Coco and Kira didn't join the cues of spectators lining
14:18
Speaker 1: up at the main entrance, instead glancing all around them
14:23
Speaker 1: to make sure no one was spotting them acting suspiciously.
14:27
Speaker 1: They crept around the side of the stadium to the
14:30
Speaker 1: rear entrance. Uncle Keith said Coco, a wide smile spreading
14:38
Speaker 1: across his face. You're here, Keith gave them each a
14:43
Speaker 1: ruffle on the head. I said, I would be, didn't i.
14:49
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith was in his usual security guard outfit, blue uniform,
14:54
Speaker 1: blue hat, shiny black leather belt. Beside him was a
14:59
Speaker 1: tall object, at least twice the height of Keith himself.
15:04
Speaker 1: But what that object actually was remained a mystery. It
15:08
Speaker 1: was covered in a long white sheet, like a giant
15:12
Speaker 1: dressed up as a ghost. Kira pointed to the object.
15:17
Speaker 1: What's that, Uncle Keith, she asked, Ah, sighed Uncle Keith,
15:25
Speaker 1: grinning this this is your ticket to the Koala Kingdom
15:31
Speaker 1: World Cup Final. Wanna see it? Cocoa and Kiera nodded enthusiastically.
15:40
Speaker 1: All right, then, said Keith, and with a flourish he
15:43
Speaker 1: poured the white sheet off the object to reveal is
15:48
Speaker 1: the Koala Kingdom World Cup trophy, gasped Cocoa. It stood
15:55
Speaker 1: there in front of them in shining gold, a tall
15:59
Speaker 1: statue of two golden figures holding up the globe but
16:05
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith, Kira said her poor press to her mouth
16:10
Speaker 1: in shock and awe. How Uncle Keith chuckled, clearly delighted
16:18
Speaker 1: with himself. Wow, harm the residence security guard, aren't I
16:25
Speaker 1: he said, It's not just the cinema high guard. I'm
16:30
Speaker 1: in charge of guarding the Koala Kingdom World Cup trophy.
16:35
Speaker 1: And that throwaway comment you made last night, Hira about
16:40
Speaker 1: hiding in a football, well it gave me an idea.
16:46
Speaker 1: Look at this. Keith reached out, pressed a tiny, invisible
16:51
Speaker 1: button on the side of the trophy, and with a
16:54
Speaker 1: click and a hiss, a secret hatch door right in
16:58
Speaker 1: the middle of the globe open up, just perfect for
17:03
Speaker 1: a little Koala and a panda bear to climb right into.
17:09
Speaker 1: Cocoa and Kira's jaws dropped open so wide they both
17:15
Speaker 1: almost touched the floor. Uncle Keith, Coco whispered. Hugh turned
17:23
Speaker 1: the Koala Kingdom World Cup trophy into a secret hideaway
17:31
Speaker 1: that made Uncle Keith's eyes go wide. Oh no, Coco,
17:38
Speaker 1: he said, this isn't the real trophy. Ohoh, no way.
17:44
Speaker 1: He flicked an imaginary drop of sweat off his brow.
17:48
Speaker 1: This is a replica I made overnight. The real trophy
17:53
Speaker 1: is safely stowed away back in my workshop, and I'll
17:57
Speaker 1: be sure to swap them over tonight after the winner
18:00
Speaker 1: has been announced. But for now, if you don't mind,
18:05
Speaker 1: I need you to help me with something very important.
18:10
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith shuffled in closer and in a low whisper
18:15
Speaker 1: so that no one passing by could hear, told them
18:20
Speaker 1: that just a few days before the Koala Kingdom World
18:24
Speaker 1: Cup organizers had received some bad news. The cup mascot
18:30
Speaker 1: was feeling poorly. You mean Orlando, the eleven legg octopus,
18:37
Speaker 1: Koco asked. That's right, said Uncle Keith. He's hurt one
18:43
Speaker 1: of his suckers, and that means he's not allowed to
18:47
Speaker 1: be on his tentacles for a week. A look of
18:51
Speaker 1: worry passed over Kira's face.
18:54
Speaker 2: But who's going.
18:56
Speaker 1: To take each of the winning player's hands and paraye
19:00
Speaker 1: them around the pitch? Then she asked, that was one
19:04
Speaker 1: of the best Koala Kingdom Final traditions and it could
19:08
Speaker 1: only really be accomplished by an eleven limbed octopus, couldn't it, well,
19:16
Speaker 1: said Uncle Keith with a grin. That's where you two
19:20
Speaker 1: come in. I thought it would be really good fun
19:25
Speaker 1: if you two hid in the trophy, and when the
19:28
Speaker 1: winners are announced, you can jump out and surprise everyone.
19:34
Speaker 1: You mean, said Coco, his eyes going wide. We're the mascots.
19:42
Speaker 1: That's right, said Uncle Keith, So what do you say?
19:49
Speaker 1: Coco and Kira didn't need to say anything. They were
19:53
Speaker 1: already yippying and dancing around in a little circle of celebration.
20:00
Speaker 1: Just then there came a noise from within the stadium,
20:04
Speaker 1: the muffled sound of her voice over the loud speaker,
20:08
Speaker 1: and then the excited cheering of the crowd. The spotlights
20:14
Speaker 1: that had been dancing across the night sky all came
20:18
Speaker 1: together into one focused beam, illuminating the smiling Coala Moon,
20:25
Speaker 1: who had paused right above them. It seemed that even
20:29
Speaker 1: the Koala Moon was excited to see the match. Come on,
20:35
Speaker 1: said Uncle Keith, that's our cue in. You get Chip Chop.
20:40
Speaker 1: It was lucky that Koalas and Pandas are naturally good climbers.
20:46
Speaker 1: Coco and Kira shimmered up the trophy and clambered into
20:49
Speaker 1: the alcove inside the golden globe. Thanks Uncle Keith, they whispered,
20:56
Speaker 1: then shut the trap door. For a moment, they both
21:00
Speaker 1: sat there, blinking, in the darkness. It turned out that
21:05
Speaker 1: the inside of the trophy was very comfy. Indeed, Uncle
21:10
Speaker 1: Keith had kitted it out with soft padding, cushions and
21:15
Speaker 1: a couple of soft blankets, which was very thoughtful of him.
21:20
Speaker 1: A moment later, the trophy began to trundle and vibrate.
21:25
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith was on the move. Look, Coco, Kira whispered,
21:32
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith's put little windows in so that we can
21:35
Speaker 1: see what's going on. Sure enough, there were small one
21:40
Speaker 1: way peet poles that Coco and Kira could press their
21:44
Speaker 1: noses against, assured that no one would be able to
21:47
Speaker 1: see that there were two new mascots secretly hiding in
21:52
Speaker 1: the trophy. Uncle Keith rolled them through the great gates
21:58
Speaker 1: of the rear entrance to the stadium, and then straight
22:02
Speaker 1: onto the pitch. A wide expanse of grass spread out
22:07
Speaker 1: before their eyes, with white lines and markings, gleaming white
22:13
Speaker 1: goal posts at the far end, and beyond that hundreds
22:17
Speaker 1: and hundreds of smiling faces. Wow, Kira whistled, Cocoa, I've
22:26
Speaker 1: never seen so many people me neither. Kira replied, I
22:34
Speaker 1: can't wait for a big surprise. Then she pressed a
22:39
Speaker 1: poor against the glass people look. Coco the trophy was
22:45
Speaker 1: swinging around in a wide loop, now revealing two lines
22:50
Speaker 1: of players in formation on the pitch. There were the
22:54
Speaker 1: sleepy forest players dressed in their purple kits, Slow Mow
22:58
Speaker 1: the Sloth, the teams captain and goalkeeper, as well as
23:03
Speaker 1: Nora the Greyhounds stretching her legs in preparation for the
23:07
Speaker 1: speediest of sprints, and Kylie the Kangaroo, bouncing up and
23:12
Speaker 1: down to warm up. Opposite them, dressed in rain forest
23:17
Speaker 1: green kit with a wonder jungle team Jude Bellinghamster's little
23:23
Speaker 1: nose twitched Killie anaconda, and Bappe rose his head from
23:28
Speaker 1: a spiral of coils, and there, flicking his tail back
23:33
Speaker 1: and forth, was.
23:35
Speaker 2: Line or Messy Mane.
23:38
Speaker 1: Cocoa and Kira whispered at once, only the greatest striker
23:43
Speaker 1: ever known in the Koala Kingdom. His golden coat rippled
23:48
Speaker 1: under the stadium light, and he gave his shaggy mane
23:52
Speaker 1: a big shake. Then he seemed to look right into
23:58
Speaker 1: Coco's eyes. Er Kira ko Ko said, is Lionel Messi
24:06
Speaker 1: main looking at us? Kira let out a little chuckle. No, silly,
24:13
Speaker 1: she said, he's looking at the trophy. He's got no
24:18
Speaker 1: idea we're in here. Just then, hush went over the stadium.
24:25
Speaker 1: The crowd stopped there, chattering, and inside the trophy, the
24:29
Speaker 1: loudest noise became the sound of their own breathing. What's happening,
24:36
Speaker 1: whispered Kocho as quietly as he could. Kira reached for
24:41
Speaker 1: his pow.
24:43
Speaker 2: I think the match is about to start.
24:46
Speaker 1: She said, with a rumble. They started to move again.
24:51
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith was rolling them down the pitch, the green
24:55
Speaker 1: grass flickering past them until they came to a halt
25:00
Speaker 1: by the sidelines, right in the middle of the stadium.
25:05
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith turned the trophy around so that Coco and
25:09
Speaker 1: Kira had a perfect view of the pitch. Good old
25:14
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith. The players on both sides had moved into
25:19
Speaker 1: their positions, a host of purple clothed creatures facing the
25:25
Speaker 1: green clothed players down the pitch. Two stood in the middle,
25:30
Speaker 1: the ball in between them. A whistle blew and the
25:35
Speaker 1: game began. Oh, how lucky they were to be able
25:40
Speaker 1: to watch the game from here. They must have had
25:43
Speaker 1: the best view in the entire stadium. Coco and Kira's
25:48
Speaker 1: heads turned this way and that as they watched the
25:52
Speaker 1: players chase the ball up and down the pitch. Sometimes
25:57
Speaker 1: Coco thought that he only needs he'd reach out and
26:01
Speaker 1: he'd be able to grab hold of the fluffy tip
26:04
Speaker 1: of Messy Main's tail as he sailed by, or hop
26:08
Speaker 1: out and land right in Kylie the Kangaroo's pouch. But
26:13
Speaker 1: of course he couldn't. After all, their presence inside the
26:18
Speaker 1: trophy had to remain a secret for now. So Coco
26:24
Speaker 1: and Kira watched paus clasped together as first Messy Mane
26:31
Speaker 1: and then Jude Benninghamster scored two goals for the Wonder Junglers.
26:36
Speaker 1: Oh no, Kira sighed, The Sleepy Foresters are going to lose.
26:44
Speaker 1: Wait and see, Coco replied, for though the Wonder Junglers
26:48
Speaker 1: had impressive flare, the Sleepy Foresters had pluck and gritted.
26:55
Speaker 1: They weren't going to go down easy. In the second
26:59
Speaker 1: half of the match, Slow Mow started saving every goal
27:03
Speaker 1: that came his way. Kaylie the Kangaroo biffed the ball
27:07
Speaker 1: into the back of the opposing net, and shortly after that,
27:12
Speaker 1: Norah the Greyhound came up the outside so swiftly that
27:17
Speaker 1: she scored another goal for the Sleepy Foresters. With only
27:22
Speaker 1: one minute to go. It was neck and neck now,
27:27
Speaker 1: Coco and Kira held each other's paws very tightly. Indeed,
27:33
Speaker 1: Messimain took another shot, but slow Mow caught it. And
27:38
Speaker 1: then the most remarkable thing happened. Slow Mow the goalie
27:44
Speaker 1: started to dribble the ball, and even though he was
27:48
Speaker 1: a sloth, he moved at quite a pace. All the
27:53
Speaker 1: players were taken rather by surprise by his move, blinking
27:57
Speaker 1: as he dribbled the ball past them, and as the
28:01
Speaker 1: final whistle blew, Slow Mow booted the ball and it
28:06
Speaker 1: went sailing through the air. It flashed white in the
28:11
Speaker 1: light of the Koala moon as it reached its peak,
28:15
Speaker 1: and then fell, almost in slow motion itself, in a
28:19
Speaker 1: graceful arc down through the air, landing neat as anything
28:25
Speaker 1: in the goal. The Sleepy Foresters had won. Against all odds,
28:33
Speaker 1: They'd managed it. The stadium filled with the sound of applause.
28:39
Speaker 1: What happened next went by in a blur of happiness.
28:44
Speaker 1: The Sleepy Foresters gathered around their trophy, hugging and celebrating.
28:50
Speaker 1: Ko Ko squeezed kiras pour. Now was their time. Ko
28:57
Speaker 1: Ko pushed on the inside of the trap door, and
29:00
Speaker 1: they both jumped right out of the trophy. For a moment,
29:05
Speaker 1: the Sleepy Foresters were speechless. The crowd were too. Another
29:11
Speaker 1: silence fell over the stadium, but then the applause grew
29:17
Speaker 1: even louder, and cheers rang out around the stands Oh
29:24
Speaker 1: Kylie the kangaroo exclaimed, clapping her paws together, our very own,
29:31
Speaker 1: brand new mascots, And the next moment she had lifted
29:37
Speaker 1: Cocoa and Kira one by one above her head. They
29:41
Speaker 1: were being held aloft by the whole Sleepy Forest team,
29:46
Speaker 1: bouncing up and down in the air in celebration of
29:50
Speaker 1: the big wind. As they were lowered to the floor,
29:55
Speaker 1: Slow Mo gave them a big smile. You guys, he said,
30:02
Speaker 1: with a shake of his head. That surprise was almost
30:08
Speaker 1: as good as winning the trophy. Then, almost as quickly
30:15
Speaker 1: as the celebrations had begun, they fizzled out. The spectators
30:21
Speaker 1: left the stadium, The teams, shaking each other's paws and
30:26
Speaker 1: hoofs and claws, headed for the changing rooms. They waved
30:32
Speaker 1: goodbye to Coco and Kira, and just like that they
30:37
Speaker 1: were alone in the stadium. The spotlights had dimmed, The
30:42
Speaker 1: stands were empty. The only light was the silvery glow
30:48
Speaker 1: of the Koala moon. So what do we do now,
30:54
Speaker 1: Coco asked for an answer. Kira just let out a
31:00
Speaker 1: big old yawn. Golly her, she said, after all that excitement,
31:10
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sleepy now she mentioned it. Coco was feeling
31:18
Speaker 1: pretty sleepy too, so one by one they climbed back
31:23
Speaker 1: into the trophy and settled down on the padded floor.
31:29
Speaker 1: Kira took hold of one of the plush cushions, hugging
31:33
Speaker 1: it close to her, while Coco tugged a blanket over
31:38
Speaker 1: his legs. Let's rest here until Uncle Keith comes to
31:43
Speaker 1: get us, he said. Coco had intended to stay awake,
31:49
Speaker 1: keeping vigil, but within a few seconds he and Kira
31:56
Speaker 1: were fast asleep, tucked into the folds of soft blankets.
32:02
Speaker 1: Inside the globe of the trophy, The Koala Moon's gentle
32:08
Speaker 1: light poked softly through the little peepoles, keeping an eye
32:14
Speaker 1: on the quiet sleepers. And who knew how much time
32:19
Speaker 1: had passed when at last there came a creaking noise
32:25
Speaker 1: and the trap door of the trophy opened up. Oh,
32:32
Speaker 1: sortled Uncle Keith, What have we here? Two sleeping babies.
32:41
Speaker 1: Coco blinked up blearily at his uncle. Kira didn't even rouse,
32:48
Speaker 1: She just let out a contented snore. Did you enjoy
32:54
Speaker 1: the game, uncle Keith asked, and Coco gave a nod. Good.
33:02
Speaker 1: Keith said, I think the surprise went down very well. Indeed,
33:09
Speaker 1: Orlando the eleven limbed Octopus is going to be in
33:13
Speaker 1: for some stiff mascot competition next year. Well, you two
33:19
Speaker 1: stay in there and carry on sleeping. I'll wheel you
33:24
Speaker 1: back home. The trap door of the trophy shut again,
33:31
Speaker 1: and a moment later came the comfortable, trundling sensation of
33:37
Speaker 1: Uncle Keith rolling it out of the stadium. Cocoa nestled
33:43
Speaker 1: back down into the blankets, his head resting on a cushion,
33:49
Speaker 1: and closed his eyes. What an amazing day he had been,
33:55
Speaker 1: not only to go to the final, but to be
33:58
Speaker 1: the mascots are the winners. They really owed Uncle Keith
34:04
Speaker 1: a big present when Christmas came around. Well done, sleepy forests,
34:12
Speaker 1: Coco whispered, before falling back into a peaceful sleep. And
34:20
Speaker 1: so Uncle Keith rolled the trophy back home, Coco and
34:26
Speaker 1: Kira safe and snug inside. He wove it through the
34:31
Speaker 1: forest paths, between the whispering pines and the oak trees
34:37
Speaker 1: that seemed to bow and nod kindly to him. He
34:42
Speaker 1: passed sparrows and robins sleeping in their nests, and a
34:48
Speaker 1: family of hedgehogs cozying down beneath the hedgerow. Above him,
34:55
Speaker 1: the light of the Koala moon filtered down through the lea,
35:01
Speaker 1: guiding him back home to his workshop. When he arrived there,
35:07
Speaker 1: he wheeled the trophy inside. He was about to open
35:12
Speaker 1: the trap door and wait Coco and Keira up, then
35:17
Speaker 1: he decided against it. It was so cozy in there,
35:23
Speaker 1: it was better to let them sleep instead. He tugged
35:28
Speaker 1: some blankets down off the shelves and made a little
35:32
Speaker 1: bed for himself on the floor. He took off his
35:36
Speaker 1: security guard's hat and hung it on a hook. Then
35:42
Speaker 1: he lay down and let out a big yawn. Uncle
35:49
Speaker 1: Keith closed his eyes, and in a moment, he too,
35:55
Speaker 1: had drifted off to sleep. Now we're drifting gently from
36:02
Speaker 1: the waking world into the world of dreams. Our body
36:08
Speaker 1: is soft and heavy, Our arms are heavy, and our
36:14
Speaker 1: legs are heavy too. Our breathing is gentle and relaxed.
36:22
Speaker 1: Our breath going in through our noses and down into
36:28
Speaker 1: our chests, breathing in and out, breathing in and just
36:44
Speaker 1: like the waves lapping back and forth, back and forth,
36:51
Speaker 1: carrying you gently into sleep. In the waking world, our
37:00
Speaker 1: bodies are busy and active. But as we pass into
37:04
Speaker 1: the world of dreams, our bodies can relax. Let your
37:11
Speaker 1: bodies relax. Now, let your eyes relax, Let your fingers relax,
37:21
Speaker 1: Let your toes relax. Feel all the muscles of your
37:26
Speaker 1: body sink down further into your warm and cozy douvet.
37:34
Speaker 1: Feel your body rest heavily down on the firm comfort
37:39
Speaker 1: of your bed. Now, feel as your body relaxes, how
37:48
Speaker 1: your mind is released. Feel just how free your mind is.
37:58
Speaker 1: The world of dreams is like a playground for your mind.
38:03
Speaker 1: There are swings and roundabouts and slides where your.
38:08
Speaker 2: Mind can play.
38:14
Speaker 1: In the world of dreams, your mind gets bigger and
38:19
Speaker 1: bigger and fills your sleep with all kinds of joys
38:25
Speaker 1: and wonders and magical stories. And here is something that
38:33
Speaker 1: not many people know. But it's a secret I'm going
38:38
Speaker 1: to tell you. But you're the only one I'm going
38:41
Speaker 1: to tell. When we go to sleep and pass into
38:47
Speaker 1: the world of dreams, We are accompanied by the kindly
38:52
Speaker 1: spirits who live in the dream world. They live on
38:57
Speaker 1: the moon, and when night time comes, they float down
39:04
Speaker 1: softly as silk to meet each person who is drifting
39:09
Speaker 1: into sleep. The dream spirits are waiting there for your
39:15
Speaker 1: mind to arrive, and when you get there, they take
39:20
Speaker 1: your hand in theirs and squeeze it gently and guide
39:26
Speaker 1: you through the world of dreams. Isn't that wonderful to
39:33
Speaker 1: have a guide who can keep you company even as
39:37
Speaker 1: you sleep. Walk through the world of dreams, they take
39:44
Speaker 1: you by the hand, they give you a friendly squeeze,
39:50
Speaker 1: they guide you into sleep. The spirits of the dream
39:57
Speaker 1: world ask you what would you like to dream about tonight?
40:04
Speaker 1: And because your dreams are your very own playground where
40:09
Speaker 1: you can build and create anything your imagination desires, you
40:16
Speaker 1: can answer however you like. Maybe tonight, in your dreams,
40:26
Speaker 1: you would like to climb a tree, sit in the canopy,
40:31
Speaker 1: surrounded by tinkling leaves and bathed in dappled moonlight, and
40:38
Speaker 1: listen to the nightingale sing or the crickets chirrup from
40:45
Speaker 1: the forest floor below. Or perhaps you would like the
40:52
Speaker 1: dream spirits to guide you into a magical world where
40:58
Speaker 1: you can learn how to perform all kinds of wondrous
41:03
Speaker 1: spells and charts. You can go on adventures flying through
41:10
Speaker 1: the air on your broomstick, the white clouds spread out
41:16
Speaker 1: below you like an ocean of fluffy marshmallows. Or maybe
41:24
Speaker 1: you like to visit the magical zoo full of rabbits
41:30
Speaker 1: and puppies and kittens whose fur is so soft and
41:36
Speaker 1: comes in all kinds of different colors, brown and white
41:43
Speaker 1: and black, but also purple and green and blue. In
41:51
Speaker 1: this zoo you can find all kinds of animals that
41:55
Speaker 1: you can't find in the waking world. Animals people in
42:01
Speaker 1: the waking world say couldn't possibly exist, but they do.
42:09
Speaker 1: They do exist. And you know why because your mind
42:17
Speaker 1: is so powerful and rich and magical that in the
42:24
Speaker 1: world of dreams anything is possible. Your imagination is an
42:33
Speaker 1: enchanted place. It can create whole worlds out of thin air,
42:40
Speaker 1: out of nothing. Anything your heart desires can be found
42:47
Speaker 1: in the world of dreams. So let your eyelids be heavy,
42:56
Speaker 1: let your body sink into the warmth of your dovet
43:02
Speaker 1: let your body drift into a deep and peaceful sleep,
43:11
Speaker 1: and let your mind float away into the world of dreams.
43:20
Speaker 1: The dream spirits awaiting to guide you through their magical world,
43:28
Speaker 1: their world of wonder, their world of delight. See the
43:36

Speaker 1: they give you a friendly squeeze, They guide you into sleep.

Speaker 1: leaves with all kinds of creatures ready to show you
44:19
Speaker 1: their lives. The castles built out of clouds, to rivers
44:28
Speaker 1: bright as rainbows for you to swim down. The crackling
44:36
Speaker 1: campfires next to lakes, where the pitter patter sound of
44:43
Speaker 1: rains sounds like the gentle tinkling of music. Remember to
44:55
Speaker 1: thank your dream spirits for guiding you love through the
45:01
Speaker 1: land of dreams. Say thank you, dream spirits. And when
45:11
