Bison Boone_s Dream Tour 🎤 🎸 Cozy Bedtime Story for Kids 🌙💤 Perfect for Benson Boone Fans · Abide Meditation App

• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Deep in the heart of a far away forest stood
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a cozy wooden cabin. In the cabin lived a family
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of Koala's. Coco lived there with his parents, his grandparents,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and his little sister, Kira the panda. Coko's parents adopted
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Kira years ago, and since then, Kira had become more
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: than just his sister. She had become his best friend.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: There were many wonderful things that Coco loved about Kira,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: but one of them was that she seemed to have
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: an almost magical ability to discover the coolest new music.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: He could still remember the day she arrived at the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: cozy cabin in the woods, with her signature purple bow
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in her hair and matching purple headphones over her head
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: so she could listen to music. She told him that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: music made her feel safe, like a comfort blanket, because
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: no matter where in the world or how much anything changed,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: your favorite songs stayed the same. Coco liked that idea.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: He thought about it often ever since then. Kira had
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: introduced Coco to all kinds of music, age old and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: brand new. Remember it was Kira who had introduced him
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to Swifty. Of course, how could he ever forget that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: one evening, Coco was busy at the kitchen table drawing
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a picture of a cactus that had arms instead of spikes,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: so that it didn't poke you, but hugged you instead.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But when Kiera came in with a slender, square tissue
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: wrapped object gripped in her paw, he put his crayon
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: down straight away. He stood up from the table. Is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that what I think it is? He asked. Kira grinned
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: at him and nodded. I was just down at the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Evergreen department store, browsing in the music section, of course,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and the friendly EMU was working there, the one who
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: lets me listen to new music so I can decide
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: what I like before I get it. I listened to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a few final records and they were all okay. But
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: then I put this one in and I put the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: headphones on and I only listened for three seconds, just
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: three seconds. Because it was so good, I had to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: share it with you. I came home with it straight away.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Kira handed Coco the record and he tore off the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: tissue paper on the front of the album was one
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of the coolest creatures Coco had ever seen, a bison
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with the shaggy head of curly hair, wearing denim shorts,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and a pair of roller blades that shot fire out
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of the back of them. Oh, he sighed reading the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: name of the musician, Bison Boone. He let the name
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: roll around his tongue. Now that sounded like the name
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of a pop star, and with those awesome rollerblades, the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: only remaining question mark hung over the music. He grinned
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: at Kira, let's go listen. They flew up the stairs
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: so swiftly they might have had flames coming out of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the back of their shoes. Into their room, they went
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and put the new vinyl on their grandma's old record player,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: which she had given to them back when their grandma
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was a young Koala. She had told them vinyl records
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: were the only way you could listen to music. That's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: how old she was. But now records were just pretty cool. Plus,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Kira said, everything sounded better on vinyl. She lowered the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: little needle down to the record and listened out for
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the first tell tale scratch. Twenty seconds later, they were
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: rocking around their bedroom, Coco strumming his air guitar, Kira
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: with an imaginary microphone held to her lips. Bison Boone.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: They loved him. Every day when they came home from school,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: they made sure to get their homework finished extra efficiently
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: so they could go upstairs and listen to Bison Boone's music.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: They bought posters of him and stuck them on their
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: bedroom walls alongside their posters of Swifty Coco even tried
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to grow his fur out so he could have long,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: shaggy hair just like Bison Boone, but all he managed
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was one little curl on the top of his cute
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: koala head. You two have got bison mania, their grandma
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: told them, shaking her head. That made Coco and Kira
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: laugh out loud. Yes they did, they agreed happily. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: if they had bison mania, then she had bison mania too.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: They'd seen her shimmying down the corridor when they were
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: playing Bison Boone in their room. Their grandma blushed a little. Well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you're right, she said, maybe I do. Then one day
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: their dad came home with some pretty wonderful news. Bison
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Boone was starting his Moonbeam Dream tour in the nearby
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: city of moon Beam Heights. The opening show was this
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: very weekend, and what was more, their dad had managed
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to get tickets. What amazing news. They cheered and wrapped
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: their arms around their dad and hugged him and kissed
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: his cheeks. Thank you, thank you, they repeated. You're very welcome.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Their dad told them smiling. I thought you could take
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: your grandpa, he added, because I know how he loves music.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But then came a little cough from the corner of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the kitchen. It was their grandma. If my memory serves
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: me correctly, she said, with a cheeky glimmer in her eye,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: your grandfather got to take you to the Swifty concert
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: when she came to Sleepy Forest. Isn't that right? Kira nodded, yes, Grandma,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that was right. Well, then she said, I think it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: my turn this time. Their grandpa looked over the top
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of his newspaper, blinked twice, and nodded fair enough this time.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Coco and Kira wrapped their arms tightly around their grandma.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: How excited they were to go and see Bison Boone's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: dream tour with her. As often happens whenever you are
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: really looking forward to something like birthdays and Christmases, The
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: week dragged its heels, but soon enough Saturday night arrived
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and they were ready for the concert. Coco came down
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: in a pair of cutoff dungarease with his single curl
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: jelled to his head. Kira had put on a bright
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: purple dress and a matching spangly purple bow. When their
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: grandma came downstairs, Coco and Kira's mouths almost dropped to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the floor. She was not in her usual thick knit
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: cardigan and slouchy trousers. She had put on a suit
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of silver sequins that sparkled as though they captured a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: sky full of stars. Coco was the one who found
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: his voice first. Wow, Grandma, you look amazing. Their grandma grinned.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I brush up all right for an old Koala, don't I.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Together the three of them wandered through the darkening evening.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Everyone in Sleepy Forest seemed to be getting ready for bed,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: tucking themselves into nests or burrows. But when they spotted
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the three of them, they were very curious about where
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: they were going looking so dapper, and wished them a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: fun night at the concert. Soon enough, they reached the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: station where the Moonbeam Express was waiting to take them
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to the city, its golden wheels shining and its rose
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: glass windows misted with condensation. They sat on pale blue
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: leather seats around a table while the train's engine chugged
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: beneath them, and discussed their hopes for the evening. Kira
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: said she hoped Bison Boone played her favorite song, the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: one about love being magical. Koko said he hoped the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: stage looked spectacular, and their grandma said she hoped the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: caw was serving tea. They chatted so much that the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: journey went by in almost a blink of an eye,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and the next thing they knew they were stepping off
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the train in Moonbeam Heights. They let out sighs of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: wonder as gazing upwards, they took in the towering stone
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: buildings with their panels of glass flashing with lights. Many
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: creatures were getting off here. Moonbeam Heights was the capital
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: city of Kowala Kingdom, after all, but Kira saw that
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: some of them were dressed up in spangly outfits too.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: They must be going to the Moonbeam Dream Tour two,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: she said. They drifted with the flow of the crowd
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and discovered outside the station signs pointing them towards the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: star Shine Stadium. They plodded merrily down the pavement, smiling
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: sheepishly at a pair of young moose who had wound
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: fairy lil lights around their antlers. They were obviously attending
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the concert too, but for now at least, Coco and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Kira were feeling a little too shy to say hello.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Soon they saw a big black building appear in front
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of them. It looked like a super sized speaker, covered
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: in bright lights flashing like stars. Why, said their grandma,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: looking down at her shimmering suit with a cheeky smile.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I think the Starshine Stadium has rather stolen my fashion sense,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: don't you. Coco and Kira giggled and silently they both
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: decided that they had the coolest grandma in the world.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They joined the queue full of other excited fans, feeling
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: as though they were submerged in an ocean of chatter.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: When they got to the front, Coco was so proud
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to show their tickets that at first he didn't notice
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: who the security guard was. Uncle Keith. He said in surprise, Hello, Coco,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Uncle Keith said, before saying hello to Kira and their
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: grandma too. He was wearing the same blue uniform with
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a blue cap that he wore when he was the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: security guard. At the cinema, but they hadn't expected to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: see him here. We never knew you worked at the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Starshine Stadium too, Uncle Keith, Kira said, frowning a little
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: as though she had been tricked. Well, Kira, Uncle Keith
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: replied with a jolly smile. There are plenty of things
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you don't know about me. But hurry along, now the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: concert starting have fun. They each gave Uncle Keith a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: big hug and stepped into the big black speaker, sidestepping
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: other creatures who are wondering hither and thither. They headed
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: for the big doors that led through to the stadium.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But then their grandma spotted the cafe bar and paused,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: don't worry, she reassured them. I promise you we won't
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: miss the start. Just as their grandma had hoped, the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: stadium served tea, and within a couple of minutes she
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: had a steaming cardboard cup clasped between her paws. In fact,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Coco and Kira did too. Their grandma had treated them
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to a hot chocolate each. When he walked into the stadium,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Coco gasped with wonder. It was huge, much larger than
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the Riverside concert space where they had seen Swifty that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: time in sleepy forest. Rows and rows of red raped
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: seats rose up the sides of the stadium, and more
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: rows lined to the ground area. There must have been
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: thousands of creatures in there, and the air in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: stadium seemed to fizz with a tingling kind of happiness.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: They squeezed down the aisle, smiling and saying hello to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: other fans that they passed, until they reached their seats.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: How pleased they were with them. They had a perfect
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: view of the stage, which currently had a huge black
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: screen drawn over the front of it, concealing what lay behind.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: There was another surprise about their seats. They were right
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: next to the two moose siblings with the fairy lights
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: encircling their velveteen antlers. Hey said one of them, we
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: saw you outside, and we saw you. Kira agreed, How
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: funny that we've ended up sitting next to each other.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Any shyness that they had had before evaporated. The next moment,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Coco and Kira were deep in conversation with the moose,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: using their favorite Bison Boon songs, the most dazzling guitar riffs,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and the best of his numerous music videos. They were
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: almost taken by surprise. When the lights dimmed, tingles of
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: excitement went through both of them, and through everyone else
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in the whole stadium too. They supposed the show was
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: about to begin. In the pitch darkness, they couldn't see
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the black screen in front of the stage rise and disappear,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: But what they could see was a giant moon, glittering
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: like a disco ball, hung high above the center of
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the stage. Soft spotlights affixed to the moon swung around
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the stadium, the beams drifting over the applauding fans and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: transforming them, just for the briefest moment, into magical visions. Wow,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Koco whispered, this set is awesome. Now we understand why
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: it's called the Moonbeam Dream Tour, Kia said, Look, whispered Grandma,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: pointing up to the moon on its surface. A door
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: had slid open and stood right in the center of
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the moon, holding a sky blue electric guitar. The crowd
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: broke into applause. Everyone clapped whatever limbs they had, paws
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and hands, claws and wings. Bison they called bison boone Bison. Still,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a silhouette, standing in the silver light of the disco
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: moon raised a hoof in the air. The stadium went silent.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Then he brought it down, strumming his first cord. Kia
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: wrapped her arms around Coco. I can't believe it, she said,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it's my favorite song. And then she was singing, singing
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: about moonbe my screams and dancing at the movies, singing
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: about how love was mystical, how love was magical. The
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: musical notes seemed to float through the air like invisible bubbles.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Some tickled their ears, some landed soft and cozy in
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: their chests. Large screens on either side of the stage
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: showed Bison Boone strutting up and down the stage with
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: his guitar, shoots of silver glitter fanning from his feet,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: as though he were moving on stardust. When he did
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: his trademark backflips all across the stage, the crowd cheered
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and called for more. Everyone loved it. When Bison did
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a backflip. Had Coco and Kira ever danced so much before?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: They weren't sure. They shimmered and boogied with him. Their
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: grandma even did the jive. Waves of happiness flowed around
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the stadium, and occasionally a Mexican wave went up to
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: everyone was smiling and singing. Coco and Kira found themselves
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: making friends with the two moose simply by dancing. That
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: was the power of music, Koko thought himself at one point.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: It wasn't only that it never changed. It wasn't that
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: it was always there for you. It was that it
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: brought people together, no matter where they'd come from. It
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: was like a sturdy bridge between your heart and someone else's.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Then the show grew gentler. Bison Boone exchanged his electric
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: guitar for a green acoustic guitar. He sat on the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: front of the stage with his hoofs dangling off the edge,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and shrummed the strings. Some of these slow songs were cheerful,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: some were beautifully bittersweet, but all through them, the audience
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: swayed back and forth, as though there were a field
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: of wildflowers swaying in the breeze. The final song he
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: played was so moving that tears of joy came to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Cocoa and Kira's eyes. They wrapped their arms around each
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: other and around their grandma too. As plumes of confetti
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: pink and white and pale blue, streamed from the dangling moon.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: The confetti drifted over the audience, like delicate drops of snow,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: or like tiny blossoms released from the branches of a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: cherry tree. Bison Boone took a deep bow as the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: audience clapped. The show was over. But even though it
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: was over, as they left the Starshine Stadium, they could
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: still feel the music lingering in their bodies. It was
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a low, warm vibration, like a kind of joy that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: had sunk into them and taken up home. I wish
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the Moonbeam dream Talk could have gone on forever, said Kira.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Then she let out a big yawn. Their grandma chuckled.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It rather seems that if it had gone on any longer,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: she said, you'd have been asleep on your feet. Come on,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: it's been a long day and we're tired. Time to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: get home and to bed. They strolled down the streets
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of Moonbeam Heights back towards the station. Now that it
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: was night, the streets were much quieter than they had
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: been before. The sky above them was black as polished leather,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: except for the milky spill of a distant galaxy in
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the distance. It was rather unexpected when a small bus
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: pulled up beside them. Had they accidentally waved it down
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: at a bus stop. They glanced around themselves, but no,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: there wasn't a bus stop to be seen. With a
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: satisfying hiss, the doors of the bus slid open, and
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it was with some surprise that they realized they knew
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the driver. Uncle Keith Coco said hello again. But wait,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: he frowned and scratched the top of his head. I
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: thought you were a security guard. Are you a bus
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: driver now too? Uncle Keith, still wearing his blue uniform, winked.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I told you that there were plenty you two didn't
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: know about me. And besides, this isn't a bus. Kira
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: cocked her head to one side, amused, it's not. She asked,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: how strange it looked rather like a bus to her.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: It's not simply a bus, Uncle Keith said, it's a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: tall bus, a tall bus, Kira repeated. But whose.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Mine?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Said a deep, friendly voice, and as though he were
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: not a real creature but a vision or a dream
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: come true, Bison Boone stepped into view. He was no
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: longer in his concert outfit. He was wearing comfy black
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: trousers and a baggy shirt with a picture of a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: drum kit on it. His hair had been let down
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and hung in its spiraling curls. He grinned at them, well,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: mine and my bairns. Of course, Cocoa and Kira, not
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: for the first time today, just stared at him with
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: their mouths open. They couldn't believe their eyes and they
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't just yet find their tongues. Your uncle Keith here
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: spotted you on the pavement and pointed you out to me,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Bison Boone said. He said that there's my family who
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: all live in Sleepy Forest, and that gave me an idea.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, Keith, do you reckon your family would
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: like to lift back home to Sleepy Forest on my
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: tour bus? And Keith said to me that there was
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: only one way to find out. We had to ask you,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: so concluded with another grin. Here, I am finding out,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: how do you fancy that lift? It didn't take long
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: for Cocoa and Kira to find their tongues and find
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: their answers. Of course, they would like to ride back home.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: They climbed the silver steps of the bus and the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: door folded shut behind them with a psh, as though
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it was sighing in contentment. Inside. The bus did not
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: feel like a bus at all. It felt like a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: secret den. Soft golden lamps glowed along the walls, dancing
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: on their grandma's sparkly suit. The air smelled faintly of
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: gingerbread and freshly cleaned laundry. Kira's shoe sank into the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: thick rug patterned with tiny stars. Along one side of
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the bus was a long velvet sofa, the very same
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: color as the moss that grew on their cabin back
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: in Sleepy Forest. And on the other side there were
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: rows of bunk beds bundled with knitted blankets, and all
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: kinds of cushions, stripey cushions, fluffy cushions, cushions shaped like bumblebees,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and clouds. This is the coziest bus I've ever seen,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: mumbled Coco. Bison Boone told him that after the excitement
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: of the stage, it was good to have somewhere gentle
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to land at the end of the night. Plus, he said,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: if there's one thing I love as much as music,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: it's napping. Kira smiled at him. She knew she loved
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Bison Boone's music, but she never would have guessed she'd
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: get the chance to meet him and discover just how
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: much they had in common, just like us, She told him.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Is that so? He said, well, we best get comfy
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and have a nap. It's a pretty long journey back
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to sleepy Forest. Uncle Keith started the ignition, and the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: bus rumbled to life beneath them. It rolled down the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: roads ever so gently, not bumpy, not ratleigh, just the low,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: comforting purr of the engine bene beneath them. Somewhere near
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the back of the bus, a kettle started whistling, and
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Bison Boone asked them if they wanted any tea. No,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: thank you, Coco and Kira said, yawning, they were too
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: tired for tea, but their grandma accepted the offer gratefully,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and a minute later she was sunk into the moss
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: colored sofa with her gray paws wrapped around a warm
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: pink mug. Her eyelids kept drifting closed and fluttering open.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: She was tired too. Bison Boone pointed at the bunk beds.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Take your pick, he said. Coco, chose a top bunk.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: He climbed the tiny wooden ladder and clambered onto a
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: mattress so soft and puffy it was like lying on
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: top of a giant mark shallow there was a small
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: shelf with a moon shaped nightlight. Kira took the bunk
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: beneath him, tugging herself under a blanket embroidered with musical notes,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: crotchets and quavers and other symbols she didn't know about yet. Somehow,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the blanket was warm and toasty, as though it had
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: recently been folded over a radiator. Bison settled down on
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the other end of the moss green sofa for a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: little while. As the bus rumbled beneath them, and the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: twinkling lights of the homes and buildings of Moonbeam Heights
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: flickered past the windows, they chatted. They spoke about music,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: about the concert, about their favorite books. They discovered that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Bison Boone himself had in fact been at the very
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: same time Swifty concert they had once been to, singing
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: along in the crowd just like them. He was a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: huge fan. But as they talked they got sleepier. Poko
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: let out a few big yawns, and Kira found she
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: couldn't keep her eyes open. She had to keep rubbing
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: them to keep awake. It was time to take a nap.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: As they nestled down further into the soft pillows on
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the tour bus bunk bed. Bison had an idea. How
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: would they like it if he sung them a song
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that he had only recently written as a kind of
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: bedtime lullaby. No one in the world had heard it
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: live before. Would they like that? Would they like that?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Kira repeated, There was nothing in the world they'd like more.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: So.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Bison picked up an acoustic guitar that had been leaning
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: against the side of the sofa. The metal strings gleamed
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: in the golden lamplight. He rested it on his lap
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and tested a couple of strings to make sure they
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: were in tune. Then he cleared his throat and strummed
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the first chord. It was a gentle night time tune.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: The chords were shimmering and soft, the music wavering and mysterious.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Just hearing it made Coco and Kira feel even sleepier,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: their limbs even heavier. Bison's voice was deep and low,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: xurious as chocolate, and he sang about the beauty of
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the world and kindness and the joys of making new friends.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Coco and Kira both tried to stay awake. They knew
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: how special it was to be in Bison's tor bus.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Hearing a song that no one had ever heard played before.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: But they couldn't help it. They were drifting off. They yawned,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: they stretched, they snuggled into the folds of the blankets,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and before Bison could even finish playing his song, they
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: had both fallen asleep. Their breathing was slow and gentle,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: their heads were filled with magical dreams. But Bison Boone
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: didn't put down his guitar. He carried on playing. He
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: sang the gentlest, most soothing songs he knew as the
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Moonbeam dream tor Bus trundled through the Koala Kingdom, bearing
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: them safely all the way home.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Now we are saying into a soft and peaceful sleep.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Feel the soft and cozy support of your bed. Feel
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the way your body, heavy and happy with sleepiness, is
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: being carried upon it. It is as though you were
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: being carried on gentle lotion currents on the rising and
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: falling of waves. Feel how they are lapping gently beneath you,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: bearing you into the land of sleep. These waves carrying
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: you are deep and gentle, like our breath. Breathe with
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the waves. Breathe in.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: And uh.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: In, and.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: They go in.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: And out, in.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: And out.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Close your eyes, let your eyelids be heavy. Let your
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: whole body relax as you sail into sleep. Feel your
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: arms soft and heavy, and your legs and feet soft
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: and heavy too. Let's pay some gentle attention to how
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: our body is are feeling. Keep your eyes closed, and
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: that your mind come unhooked from your head. Your mind
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: is a magical thing. It can stay inside your head,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: or it can travel all around your body, like a
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: little person wondering around a house to check that all
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: is well. Let your mind travel first to your breath.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Feel the breath moving through your nose. Feel the breath
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: moving into your chest or into your tummy, making it
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: rise and fall, Rise and fall good. Just focus on
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: your breathing. That's wonderful. Now let your mind float down
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: from your breath. Let it travel down one of your arms.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Feel the sensation in your arm. Feel how it is
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: heavy on the bed or may be soft. Tucked underneath
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: your head as you sleep, Let your mind travel down
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: your fingers. First, let your mind wander down to the
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: tip of your thumb. Now down your first finger, Now
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: your middle finger, now your ring finger, and last but
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: not least, your pinky. What does it feel like at
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the end of your pinky. Bring your mind back up
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: to your breathing and breathe in and out. Breathe in.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: And out.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Now we're traveling with our minds all the way down
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: our other arm. Let your mind go down each of
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: your fingers on that arm. First, let your mind wander
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: down to the tip of your thumb. Now down your
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: first finger, now your middle finger, now your ring finger.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: And now you're pinky. Very good. Now, let your mind
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: come back to your chest and let it sit there,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: soft and heavy, right where your heart is. If you
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: let your mind rest there, you will even be able
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: to feel the gentle beating of your heart. Do you
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: know what your heart says as it is beating, It says,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I love, I love, I love. That's what every one's
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: heart beat says, I love, I love, I love. And
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: as every one's heart beat says that the world fills
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: up with love. The world fills up with each heartbeat,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: like a lake filling up with the rain drops that
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: fall from the sky. The lake of love can never
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: be too full, and it can never be empty. The
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: whole world is full of love. You are loved. Your
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: family love you, your friends love you. People all across
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: the world love you. The animals in the fields, and
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: the birds in the trees, and even the trees themselves,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: they all love you too, and we love them back.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: That is the beautiful thing about love. You can never
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: give too much of it because it can never run out.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Love is like the water in the lake. There will
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: always be more of it. It falls from the sky
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: like rain and keeps us safe and happy. You are safe,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: You are happy, You are loved. While you're floating through
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: your dreams, wisper your love to the world, Say I
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: love your world, and now listen out.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: The world say it back. The world is saying I
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: love you. The world is gentle, and you are gentle too.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: The world is kind and you are kind to the
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: world is loved, and you are loved too. The rain
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: loves the ground that falls upon and the ground loves
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the grass and trees and flowers that grow up out
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: of it, And the grass loves the animals that walk
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: upon it. And so the animals love the world they
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: wander through because it is so beautiful, And the whole
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: world loves you. Fear how your body is drifting peacefully
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: upon the gentle lake. Let any worries that may have
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: lingered from the days, sail away from your mind. Watch
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: them disappear, like a whole host of multi colored heathy
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: and blooms being released into the sky. Watched them as
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: they go, as they soar up high, smaller and smaller,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: They get smaller and smaller until they are just little
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: specks in the sky, and then they are gone. You
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: are safe, you are kind. There is nothing to worry
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: about as you drift into sleep, because you are drifting
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: on the lake of love.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: You are safe, you are happy, you are loved. The
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: world is gentle, and you are gentle too. The world
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: is kind, and you are kind too. The world is loved,

  Speaker 6: and you are loved.

  Speaker 2: your limbs get heavy too. Feel your arms and legs
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: falling heavily into your soft and cozy bed. Feel your
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: chest rising and falling with your breathing, risy and falling
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: like the waves on the lake of love. Sleep, little one,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: You are safe, You are happy, You are loved. There
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: is more love in this world than there are stars
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: in the sky. There is more kindness in this world
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: than there are droplets of water in the entire lake.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: The world is gentle, and you are gentle too. The
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: world is kind and you are kind to the world
