  Speaker 1: Hm, snuggle down in your nice cozy bed. Then just
• 0:31
  close your eyes and relax. Take a deep breath in
• 0:38
  through your nose and slowly and gently breathe out through
• 0:44
  your mouth. Again, Deep breath in, and slowly and gently
• 0:55
  breathe out through your mouth. One more time. Deep breath
• 1:04
  in and breathe slowly and gently out through your mouth.
• 1:14
  Just bring your breathing back to its normal rhythm. Just
• 1:20
  breathe in, breathing in peacefulness and harmony. Now breathe out,
• 1:29
  breathing out all negativity.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So breathe in and breathe out, breathing in, breathing out,
• 1:50
  breathing in, breathing out.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Just relax. Now, imagine your body surrounded with a beautiful, brilliant,
• 2:05
  pure white light. And see this amazing light swirl around
• 2:10
  your whole body and it sparkles and it shines so brightly,
• 2:17
  but it doesn't hurt to look at it. This light
• 2:22
  is protecting you, and this light is filling you with
• 2:27
  a deep inner piece. Now imagine roots coming out from
• 2:34
  the soles of your feet, kind of like the roots
• 2:37
  of a tree, all long and wobbly and gnubbly. Now
• 2:43
  push these roots deep into the ground. Beneath your feet
• 2:49
  and feel the earth moving aside as your roots go
• 2:53
  deeper and deeper into the ground. And you can even
• 2:59
  hear the sound of the soil moving apart to let
• 3:02
  your roots pass. Can you hear it? Can you hear
• 3:07
  the sound of the soil moving aside? Now, push your
• 3:14
  roots down as far as you can get them to go,
• 3:18
  and anchor these roots deep within the earth. You can
• 3:23
  only fly as high as your roots are deep. Now
• 3:31
  imagine yourself standing in a lush tropical forest and the
• 3:37
  sun is shining brightly, and it's a very beautiful, clear daddy,
• 3:42
  And there are a few white, fluffy clouds just floating
• 3:45
  along in the sky, just drifting lazily by. And you
• 3:51
  can hear birds singing to each other as they fly
• 3:54
  from tree to tree. Can you hear them? You look
• 4:01
  down and realize that you are standing on a soft
• 4:05
  dirt path, and you wonder where it goes, So you
• 4:09
  decide to follow it and find out. You walk along
• 4:15
  this little path for a while, and then you come
• 4:17
  to a clearing in the forest. You take a look around,
• 4:22
  and you notice that at the end of the clearing
• 4:25
  stands a little wooden house with smoke coming out from
• 4:29
  its chimney. You decide to go and see who lives there,
• 4:36
  And as you get nearer to the little front door,
• 4:39
  you see a red baboon coming out. Oh my, and
• 4:45
  he's wearing an apron with big purple flowers on him,
• 4:49
  and he's carrying a big wooden spoon. He also has
• 4:54
  a tall chef's hat perched on the top of his
• 4:57
  head a little quirky.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He looks up and he sees you, and he gives
• 5:03
  you a great big grin and he says hello. He
• 5:07
  tells you his name is Bongo, and he is very
• 5:11
  pleased to meet you today, so you smile back and
• 5:15
  you tell him your name. Bonger is a very gentle
• 5:21
  baboon and he is known for his kind heart and
• 5:25
  playful nature. But he also has a unique characteristic. He
• 5:32
  has one leg shorter than the other. He tells you
• 5:36
  he fell out of a tree when he was just
• 5:38
  a young baboon and broke his leg, but it mended
• 5:42
  and it doesn't hate him, but he does walk a
• 5:44
  little bit wobbly now. Bongo has a close group of
• 5:50
  friends who accept him just the way he is because
• 5:54
  they love him, and they spend the day, swinging from
• 5:57
  tree to tree, feasting on out fruits, and playing by
• 6:01
  the gently flowing stream that runs through the forest. Bongo
• 6:07
  tells you that today he is baking pies for all
• 6:10
  of his friends. He says that he bakes pies every week,
• 6:14
  and he and his friends all get together at his
• 6:17
  big table in the garden and just eat pies and
• 6:21
  they chat and they have fun. Bongo asks if you
• 6:27
  would like to stay and meet his friends and eat
• 6:29
  some of his pies with them. Well, of course, you
• 6:33
  say yes, you would love to. And it's then that
• 6:39
  you notice the wonderful smell coming out from his little house.
• 6:44
  It smells so good that it makes your tummy rumble
• 6:48
  just thinking about the pies. Bongo asks you if you
• 6:54
  would like to help him set the table and put
• 6:56
  out all of the pies, as his friends will be
• 6:58
  here very soon. So you walk around to the back
• 7:02
  of Bongo's house with him and see an enormous table
• 7:05
  with chairs all around it, and it has a red
• 7:08
  and white checkered tablecloth on it and a vase with
• 7:12
  beautiful yellow tulips in it. The cutlery is in a
• 7:17
  big basket on the table, along with the napkins. Bongo
• 7:21
  asks you to set the table with them. There are
• 7:26
  tall glasses also on a smaller table, and you put
• 7:28
  them on it too. You take the napkins out of
• 7:32
  the basket as well and arrange it next to the cutlery.
• 7:36
  Bongo tells you you did a very good job, but
• 7:41
  now it's signed for you to help you with the
• 7:42
  pies and the lemonade, which is inside his little house.
• 7:49
  Inside Bongo's house, it's very cozy and brightly lit, with
• 7:53
  pictures of his friends and his family dotted all over
• 7:56
  the walls. He takes you into his kitchen and the
• 8:01
  smell of the pies baking is just wonderful. And you've
• 8:06
  never seen so many pies before, big chunky pies. Oh,
• 8:11
  they smell so good. There are apple pies, bluboard pies,
• 8:17
  cherry pies, pecan pies, blueberry pies, summer fruit pies filled
• 8:23
  with sweetberries and strawberries. They look and smell delicious. Standing
• 8:31
  on the worktop are large jugs. Some of them are
• 8:36
  filled with custard, some are filled with thick fresh cream,
• 8:40
  and others are filled with lovely lemonade. And there are
• 8:45
  also tubs of ice cream. All waiting to be taken
• 8:49
  to the table. So the two of you take all
• 8:54
  of the lovely food outside and put it on the table.
• 8:57
  And just as you put the last of the pies
• 8:59
  on the table, Bongo's friends arrive. First to arrive is Bert,
• 9:05
  another baboon, and he is with Sally the chipmunk. Then
• 9:10
  two young grillas arrive whose names are Jenny and Josie.
• 9:14
  Next up is Fred the Monkey and his friend Jack,
• 9:17
  another monkey. The last to arrive is Simon the sloth,
• 9:22
  who very slowly walks to the table. Because it's a sloth,
• 9:29
  he moves very slowly. Bongo introduces you to his friends
• 9:35
  and you both sit down at the table. There is
• 9:39
  a lot of noisy chattering going on, but you love it.
• 9:43
  Everyone is so friendly and nice. Now, Bongo tells you
• 9:49
  to choose the pie you would like, and then choose
• 9:52
  whether you would like custard cream or ice cream. He says,
• 9:57
  you can have as many different pies as you want.
• 10:01
  You taste your lemonade and it is so tasty and tangy.
• 10:07
  You just love it. So for a few moments, just
• 10:12
  enjoy your pyes and get to know all of Bongo's
• 10:16
  lovely friends and just have fun.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: School.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Wow, that was amazing. You feel so full now that
• 13:12
  you think that maybe she can't stand up. But it
• 13:16
  is time for you to go home now, and it
• 13:20
  is time for you to say your goodbye is to
• 13:21
  everyone and to thank Bongo for inviting you to stay
• 13:25
  with him and his friends. Bongo tells you that you
• 13:30
  can come and visit him any time you want. He
• 13:34
  and his friends will always be there. So you wave
• 13:39
  goodbye and begin you walk back through the tropical forest,
• 13:44
  and before you know it, you are safely back home
• 13:48
  in your very own bed. Your eyes are closing now
• 13:55
  as you snuggle down, and you are very grateful having
• 14:00
  such a wonderful day with Bongo and his friends. You
• 14:05
  understand now the importance of acceptance and kindness towards others,
• 14:12
  because really we are all the same, We are all
• 14:17
  beautiful beings living on this amazing home we call earth.
• 14:25
  You feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper into a wonderful sleep,
• 14:33
  and remember you are safe, you are loved, and you
• 14:41
  are protected always. Night Night.
• 15:25
