Speaker 1: Tonight's bedtime story is Rommy the Rhino's Tiny Friend 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. If you are very lucky and keep
0:35
Speaker 1: your eyes peeled, you might spot two rather unusual friends
0:40
Speaker 1: strolling across the hot African savannah. To look at them,
0:45
Speaker 1: you might consider them an unlikely pair. They weren't exactly
0:50
Speaker 1: the kind of animals you'd imagine being friends. One of
0:53
Speaker 1: them was a big rhino called Roomy. She was pretty big,
0:57
Speaker 1: even for a rhino, with folds of dark gray skin,
1:01
Speaker 1: little ears, and two great big horns on her nose.
1:06
Speaker 1: Her friend, on the other hand, was quite a bit smaller.
1:10
Speaker 1: Otis the oxpecker, was a sprightly little bird with a
1:14
Speaker 1: bright red beak and a yellow rim around his eyes,
1:17
Speaker 1: which made them look like two tiny suns. Otis perched
1:22
Speaker 1: on Rumy's back wherever she went, and together they wandered
1:26
Speaker 1: around the great African grasslands. Otis and Roumy had met
1:32
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, when one afternoon under a
1:36
Speaker 1: clear blue sky, Otis had fluttered down from a tree
1:41
Speaker 1: he was perched in and landed on the tip of
1:44
Speaker 1: Romy's horn. Excuse me, snorted Romy, who was rather taken
1:51
Speaker 1: by surprise. Please get off my horn this instance, And
1:57
Speaker 1: in an attempt to dislodge her sudden visitor, she gave
2:00
Speaker 1: a big shake of her head. But Otis, who had
2:04
Speaker 1: strong little claws, held on tight hold. On one moment,
2:10
Speaker 1: he said, in his most cheerful voice, I have a
2:14
Speaker 1: proposition for you. A proposition, repeated Romy. She was still suspicious,
2:21
Speaker 1: but the oxpecker had intrigued her enough that she stopped
2:25
Speaker 1: shaking her head from side to side. What do you
2:28
Speaker 1: mean a proposition? Otis clicked his beak. Well, allow me
2:35
Speaker 1: to explain. He took off from Romy's horn, fluttered through
2:41
Speaker 1: the air, and landed lightly on her back. Look here,
2:46
Speaker 1: he said. Romy craned her big head round so that
2:50
Speaker 1: she could catch a glimpse of her own back. You see,
2:55
Speaker 1: Otis went on, I noticed that on your back you
2:59
Speaker 1: have a number of bugs and ticks. Those must surely
3:04
Speaker 1: be pretty irritating for you. Tucked into your skin like that,
3:10
Speaker 1: Romy conceded that the bugs and ticks on her back
3:13
Speaker 1: did often prove rather itchy, and it was hard to
3:16
Speaker 1: get the right angle to scratch her back on the
3:19
Speaker 1: rough bark of an acacia tree. Otis nodded sympathetically and said,
3:25
Speaker 1: now watch this. Then he lowered his beak down to
3:31
Speaker 1: her back, plucked up a tick, and swallowed it. Hm ah,
3:37
Speaker 1: he sighed, delicious. You see, Otis told Romy the two
3:44
Speaker 1: of them could work together. Romy had ticks and bugs
3:48
Speaker 1: that caused her all that itchy consternation. But meanwhile, Otis
3:53
Speaker 1: could pick those ticks up for her and give himself
3:56
Speaker 1: a tasty meal. We could be something of a team,
4:02
Speaker 1: he said, what do you think The rest, as they say,
4:08
Speaker 1: is history. Romy and Otis became more than a team.
4:13
Speaker 1: They became friends. They began to hang out together all
4:17
Speaker 1: the time, telling each other's stories and jokes, trading their
4:21
Speaker 1: experiences of life on the savannah. Otis pluck ticks from
4:27
Speaker 1: Romy's skin and never went hungry, and in the meantime,
4:31
Speaker 1: Romy felt her moods lighten. She hadn't realized just quite
4:36
Speaker 1: how annoying that itchy back had been. Sometimes, just for fun,
4:41
Speaker 1: she would stampede through the tall grass, making all sorts
4:44
Speaker 1: of tiny insects flutter around so that Otis could swoop
4:49
Speaker 1: through the air, scooping them up. Romy and Otis came
4:54
Speaker 1: to believe that their friendship was unique among all the
4:58
Speaker 1: friendships that flourished cross the grasslands. Not only was theirs
5:03
Speaker 1: a friendship between animals of entirely different species, but theirs
5:08
Speaker 1: was mutually beneficial too. They actually made each other's lives better.
5:15
Speaker 1: Wasn't that something special? One day they bumped into an
5:20
Speaker 1: old monkey who lived in a hollow that had been
5:23
Speaker 1: formed in the broad trunk of an ancient bailobab tree.
5:27
Speaker 1: Rumor had it the monkey was the oldest creature to
5:31
Speaker 1: live on the savannah. He was so old that he
5:35
Speaker 1: had even forgotten his own name. Everyone simply called him
5:41
Speaker 1: wise One, because being so old, he was also very
5:47
Speaker 1: very wise. Hello, wise One, they said. When they saw him,
5:55
Speaker 1: wise One raised his staff and welcome and peered at
5:59
Speaker 1: them bleary eyes. Oh hello, Romy, Hello Otis. I didn't
6:08
Speaker 1: realize that you two knew each other, Oh said Romy,
6:13
Speaker 1: with a big proud grin. We're the best of friends.
6:19
Speaker 1: Romy and Otis told Wise One the tale of how
6:22
Speaker 1: they'd become friends, and about how their friendship was so
6:26
Speaker 1: mutually beneficial. It was a very special friendship, indeed, they
6:32
Speaker 1: told him utterly. Unique wise Ones smiled at them that
6:40
Speaker 1: he crote is a very special friendship indeed, and I
6:47
Speaker 1: am glad to hear about it. But you know, there
6:52
Speaker 1: are other pairs of animals across the savannah who'll give
6:56
Speaker 1: each other a helping hand, such as you two do.
7:01
Speaker 1: Both Romey and Otis's eyes went wide. There are, they
7:07
Speaker 1: replied in unison. Wise One nodded sagely, there are, he said,
7:16
Speaker 1: And there is a special word for a friendship like that, symbiosis.
7:26
Speaker 1: Rome and Otis gave a sigh of wonder. Symbiosis. What
7:32
Speaker 1: a weird and wonderful word was that it means, Wise
7:39
Speaker 1: One went on, when two creatures from different species work
7:46
Speaker 1: together to live better, just like you two do. And
7:53
Speaker 1: there are other creatures here that do just the same.
7:58
Speaker 1: While you're going about on your travels, perhaps you should
8:03
Speaker 1: keep a lookout for them. You might find that there's
8:07
Speaker 1: a lot out there to learn about. Romey and Otis
8:13
Speaker 1: thanked Wise One for all his well, for all his wisdom,
8:18
Speaker 1: and they set off again across the savannah. Romy said
8:23
Speaker 1: to Otis, how interesting to discover that there are other
8:28
Speaker 1: animals who have friendship made out of what did the
8:33
Speaker 1: wise one call it? Symbiosis? It is very interesting, isn't it,
8:41
Speaker 1: Otis replied, I thought we were the only ones. But
8:46
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to discover some of the others, aren't you. Oh? Yes,
8:52
Speaker 1: Romey agreed, I certainly am. And so as they walked,
8:59
Speaker 1: they looked swaying that for any more symbiotic friendships. Everywhere
9:05
Speaker 1: they looked they saw animals, herds of zebra, wilderbeast twitching
9:11
Speaker 1: their tails, a pride of lions snoozing in the sun,
9:16
Speaker 1: but they didn't spot any friendships like theirs. Soon they
9:22
Speaker 1: came to a river where a big crocodile was soaking
9:25
Speaker 1: in the cool water. The crocodile opened its mouth wide
9:31
Speaker 1: so that Romy and Otis could see its rows of
9:34
Speaker 1: glittering teeth. Then, out of nowhere, a bird flew down
9:41
Speaker 1: and disappeared right inside the crocodile's mouth. Oh, dear, Otis said,
9:49
Speaker 1: that bird is going to get accidentally swallowed up by
9:53
Speaker 1: that crocodile. How silly of it. But then, much to
9:59
Speaker 1: their surprise, the bird flew right out of the crocodile's mouth.
10:04
Speaker 1: It landed on top of the crocodile's head and gave
10:07
Speaker 1: it a quick nuzzle with its beak no Otis. Romy replied,
10:15
Speaker 1: I don't think she's going to get swallowed up. It
10:19
Speaker 1: looks like those two are friends. Maybe this is one
10:24
Speaker 1: of those special symbiotic friendships. Let's go down and ask
10:32
Speaker 1: Romy and Otis strolled down the river bank until they
10:36
Speaker 1: got to the crocodile and the bird. The bird had
10:41
Speaker 1: silver wings and black and white stripes of feathers down
10:45
Speaker 1: her body. She was a plover. Hello, said Romy. We
10:53
Speaker 1: were just up there and we spotted you. She said
10:58
Speaker 1: this to the bird flying in and out of the
11:01
Speaker 1: crocodile's mouth, and we were wondering, what's going on there?
11:07
Speaker 1: Is that a part of your friendship? The crocodile and
11:12
Speaker 1: the plover smiled and nodded, and together they began to explain.
11:19
Speaker 1: Not long ago, the crocodile had been struck with a
11:22
Speaker 1: terrible toothache. She had got some food stuck between her teeth,
11:27
Speaker 1: and no matter what she did, she couldn't get it out.
11:31
Speaker 1: She had tried using a tree twig as a toothpick,
11:35
Speaker 1: and She tried gargling with river water too, but the
11:39
Speaker 1: bit of food would not come unstuck, and her tooth
11:43
Speaker 1: was beginning to give her a horrible headache. One afternoon,
11:49
Speaker 1: she was lying by the river side complaining about her
11:52
Speaker 1: tooth when the plover came and landed next to her.
11:57
Speaker 1: The plover had an extremely delicate and decked extrass beak,
12:01
Speaker 1: as well as a heart full of compassion. She hated
12:05
Speaker 1: to see another animal in pain, so she said if
12:10
Speaker 1: the crocodile kept her mouth open and promised not to
12:14
Speaker 1: clamp it closed, the plover could try getting the piece
12:18
Speaker 1: of food out with her beak, and so they tried it.
12:22
Speaker 1: The plover flew in, picked out the bit of food
12:25
Speaker 1: with ease, and found that the little morsel of food
12:29
Speaker 1: was an absolutely delicious treat. Ever since then, the two
12:34
Speaker 1: of them had become friends. The plover kept the crocodile's
12:38
Speaker 1: teeth clean and got lots of tasty treats as a reward. Wow,
12:45
Speaker 1: said Romy after the pair had finished their story. That's
12:48
Speaker 1: really quite similar to us otis and I made friends
12:54
Speaker 1: because he picks the itchy ticks off my back. Isn't
12:58
Speaker 1: it wonderful to have such a special symbiotic relationship like that.
13:05
Speaker 1: Romy and Otis thanked the pair for sharing their story
13:10
Speaker 1: and carried on with their wondering search across the savannah.
13:15
Speaker 1: Soon enough, they spotted a mere cat hanging out next
13:19
Speaker 1: to a tree. They agreed that they should go and
13:22
Speaker 1: say hello to it, but as they approached, there was
13:25
Speaker 1: a loud squawking sound. The mere cat glanced around, then
13:31
Speaker 1: scurried quickly to hide behind the tree trunk. After a
13:36
Speaker 1: few moments, he poked his head out from behind the trunk.
13:41
Speaker 1: When he saw Romey and Otis. He came out from
13:44
Speaker 1: his hiding place. Ah, Hey, you guys, the mere cat said.
13:50
Speaker 1: I thought there might be a bit of danger, which
13:52
Speaker 1: is why I hid, But now I can see it's
13:56
Speaker 1: only you guys. Why did you think there was, Otis
14:02
Speaker 1: asked the mere cat. Ah, only because my pal, the drongle,
14:07
Speaker 1: sent out a warning, the mere cat explained. Then he
14:11
Speaker 1: pointed up into the tree, where Romey and Otis could
14:14
Speaker 1: see a small blackbird with bright red eyes. Hey, the
14:19
Speaker 1: mere cat called up to the drongo You can come
14:22
Speaker 1: down now. The blackbird fluttered down to the ground and
14:27
Speaker 1: waved Romey and Otis hello with a dark shiny wing.
14:31
Speaker 1: The drongo explained that many moons ago he had seen
14:35
Speaker 1: a hungry looking lion approaching and had given an automatic
14:39
Speaker 1: squawk of surprise. What he hadn't counted on was that
14:44
Speaker 1: the mere cat, who was gnawing on some food below him,
14:48
Speaker 1: would scarp her off for cover, dropping the food he
14:51
Speaker 1: was eating. The lions stalked away, and the drongo had
14:55
Speaker 1: the opportunity to swoop down and have a few pecks
14:59
Speaker 1: of the mere cat's dropped food. They realized pretty quickly.
15:04
Speaker 1: The mere cat told them, taking over the story, that
15:07
Speaker 1: the two of them could work together. Whenever the drongo,
15:12
Speaker 1: from his perfect advantage point up in the branches of
15:15
Speaker 1: the tree, spotted a predator or some other danger approaching,
15:20
Speaker 1: he could give out a warning squawk. That way, the
15:24
Speaker 1: mere cat would have time to hide, and the drongo
15:27
Speaker 1: would get whatever food he'd dropped. It works out pretty well,
15:32
Speaker 1: the mere cat said, and we've become the best of house.
15:37
Speaker 1: Except sometimes, my friend, the drangle here gives out a
15:40
Speaker 1: warning squawk even when there's no danger approaching. He just
15:44
Speaker 1: likes to make me drop my food and run away
15:47
Speaker 1: so that he can eat it all up. The drongo
15:50
Speaker 1: gave a little chuckle. Just my idea of a practical joke,
15:55
Speaker 1: he said, Then it gets him every time. Romy and
16:00
Speaker 1: Otis were both delighted to hear another story about the
16:04
Speaker 1: kinds of friendships the creatures of the savannah were forming
16:07
Speaker 1: with each other. The crocodile and the plover had a
16:11
Speaker 1: partnership that brought them not only the joys of friendship,
16:15
Speaker 1: but cured the crocodile of her pesky toothache. And here
16:20
Speaker 1: the drongo was protecting the merecat from the dangers of
16:23
Speaker 1: the grasslands and finding the chance to play some lighthearted
16:27
Speaker 1: tricks on him too. Isn't friendship a wonderful thing? Romy
16:35
Speaker 1: ruminated as they began to walk on. They come in
16:39
Speaker 1: so many different varieties, and ah, they bring so much happiness.
16:48
Speaker 1: They certainly do. Otis agreed from his perch on top
16:52
Speaker 1: of her back. I wonder if we'll find any more
16:56
Speaker 1: animals who are enjoying symbiotic friendships. Well, Romy said, let's
17:04
Speaker 1: carry on searching. The sun was sinking low in the sky,
17:10
Speaker 1: sending the shadows of trees long across the savannah. The
17:15
Speaker 1: animals that only come out at dusk were beginning to emerge.
17:20
Speaker 1: They saw a little porcupine wobbling along, and shy honey badger,
17:26
Speaker 1: and even a leopard shrouded in mystery. Lurking in the shadows.
17:33
Speaker 1: They saw all sorts of animals, but wherever they looked,
17:38
Speaker 1: they couldn't see any more friendships like theirs. At last,
17:44
Speaker 1: they came to a tall tree with a black and
17:47
Speaker 1: white columbus monkey hanging on one of the branches by
17:51
Speaker 1: her tail. She was reaching out to pluck fruit from
17:55
Speaker 1: the tree and the odd leaf or two, which were
17:58
Speaker 1: exceptionally tasty. When she saw romy and Otis at the
18:03
Speaker 1: foot of the tree, she called out hello. They waved back.
18:08
Speaker 1: The columbus monkey asked them what they were doing, and
18:12
Speaker 1: romy and Otis told her all about the journey of
18:15
Speaker 1: discovery that wise One had sent them on to learn
18:19
Speaker 1: all about the symbiotic relationships that existed in the savannah.
18:25
Speaker 1: They told her about meeting the crocodile and the plover,
18:30
Speaker 1: and about meeting the merecat and the drongo. But try
18:35
Speaker 1: as we might, Otis sighed forlornly, we can't find any
18:42
Speaker 1: more friendships quite like that, Oh, replied the columbus monkey
18:49
Speaker 1: with a wry smile. But you're looking at one right now,
18:54
Speaker 1: look at us. We have just that kind of symbiotic friendship.
19:01
Speaker 1: Romy and Otis felt a little confused. They looked around,
19:05
Speaker 1: searching for the other animal with whom the monkey had
19:08
Speaker 1: such a friendship, but they couldn't see one anywhere. Perhaps
19:13
Speaker 1: it was very tiny, they thought, like an ant or
19:17
Speaker 1: a flee, or maybe it was some invisible animal that
19:21
Speaker 1: they'd never heard of before. We can't see any friend
19:27
Speaker 1: that you're with, said romy There aren't any other animals
19:32
Speaker 1: sitting there with you in that tree, Ah, sighed the
19:38
Speaker 1: Columbus monkey. Your thinking is suffering from being a little limited.
19:44
Speaker 1: I'm afraid it's not just other animals we can be
19:49
Speaker 1: friends with. My best friend. Here is this very tree.
19:58
Speaker 1: Romy and Otis looked at her with wide eyes. The tree,
20:04
Speaker 1: they repeated, Yes, said the Columbus monkey. The tree, this
20:11
Speaker 1: tree and I go way way back. I've known her
20:17
Speaker 1: my whole life. She has kept me safe up in
20:21
Speaker 1: these high branches, and she's used her leaves to protect
20:26
Speaker 1: me from rain. She has let me feed on her
20:30
Speaker 1: fruit and her leaves, and when the wind whistles through
20:33
Speaker 1: her branches, she whispers to me all the wisdom she
20:37
Speaker 1: has learned over the years, we are, without a doubt,
20:42
Speaker 1: the best of friends. Rome and Otis were enraptured by
20:48
Speaker 1: the monkey's words. They had never thought about the possibility
20:53
Speaker 1: of trees being friends. But now what the monkey had said.
20:59
Speaker 1: May them think of all the plants of the savannahs
21:02
Speaker 1: that they had true relationships with, the grasses and the
21:07
Speaker 1: flowers and the tall shady acacia trees. And what do you,
21:15
Speaker 1: in turn do for the tree, Otis, asked the Columbus monkey.
21:21
Speaker 2: Ah.
21:22
Speaker 1: Well, that's just the thing, the monkey replied. This tree
21:27
Speaker 1: needs to spread its seeds all across the savannah in
21:31
Speaker 1: order to grow new trees. And whenever I'm eating the tree,
21:36
Speaker 1: seeds get on my paws or in my fur, or
21:41
Speaker 1: go into my stomach when I eat the fruit. Then
21:45
Speaker 1: whenever I'm wandering across the savannah, the seeds fall off
21:49
Speaker 1: me or else get left behind when I And now
21:53
Speaker 1: the Columbus monkey gave a little blush and covered her
21:56
Speaker 1: mouth secretly with her paw. Whenever I do a pool
22:01
Speaker 1: and a tree knows that I spread her seedlings all
22:04
Speaker 1: over the savannah, and she thanks me for it. Wow,
22:10
Speaker 1: said Romy, now contemplating the Columbus monkey's words. That truly
22:17
Speaker 1: is a special relationship. Now that we know about your
22:22
Speaker 1: symbiotic friendship with the tree, I'm sure there are so
22:27
Speaker 1: many more things to discover about all kinds of relationships.
22:31
Speaker 1: Across the savannah, the sun was setting, a night was falling.
22:39
Speaker 1: Romy and Otis said good bye to their Columbus monkey
22:43
Speaker 1: friend and made their way back across the grasslands, back
22:48
Speaker 1: towards their home. As they went, insects fluttered up from
22:54
Speaker 1: the long grasses, and sometimes Otis would catch one or
22:57
Speaker 1: two in his beak. Other animals were heading towards their
23:03
Speaker 1: beds too. Termites were climbing termite mounds, and a group
23:09
Speaker 1: of warthogs were finding cozy places beneath the cover of trees.
23:15
Speaker 1: A couple of hippopotamites sunk into the cool mud beside
23:19
Speaker 1: a lake, and out on the water a troop of
23:24
Speaker 1: bright pink flamingos folded their wings and rested on single legs.
23:32
Speaker 1: As they walked home, Romean Otis talked about all they
23:37
Speaker 1: had learnt to day. He really had been a day
23:41
Speaker 1: full of education. The world was full of all kinds
23:46
Speaker 1: of friendship, more than they could ever have imagined. Friendships
23:51
Speaker 1: that save toothache friendships that protected from danger, even friendships
23:59
Speaker 1: that helped each other grown new young and continue the
24:03
Speaker 1: flourishing of the species. And to think that morning they
24:09
Speaker 1: had set out believing that they were the only friends
24:12
Speaker 1: in the whole savannah to have such a mutually beneficial friendship,
24:18
Speaker 1: they had much to thankwise One for the journey he
24:23
Speaker 1: had sent them on had opened their eyes to a
24:26
Speaker 1: teeming world of friendship they'd never imagined. Soon they reached
24:33
Speaker 1: the shady spot by a clutch of trees that they
24:36
Speaker 1: called home. Romie laid her tired body down beneath a tree,
24:43
Speaker 1: resting her head on her folded leg. Lotus fluttered from
24:49
Speaker 1: her back and settled down in his nest on a
24:52
Speaker 1: low lying branch. Ooh, the thing is, he said, stifling
24:59
Speaker 1: a yawn. Even though we're not the only symbiotic friendship
25:05
Speaker 1: out there, our friendship is still unique. Romy rubbed her
25:11
Speaker 1: eyes with tiredness. That's just what I was thinking, Nottice,
25:18
Speaker 1: she said. We've met lots of different kinds of friends,
25:23
Speaker 1: and what struck me is that while they're all friendships,
25:28
Speaker 1: they're all unque. No set of friends is quite the same,
25:35
Speaker 1: no matter if your friends from the same species or
25:39
Speaker 1: friends from different species. No matter if you help each
25:44
Speaker 1: other or play tricks on each other, no matter if
25:49
Speaker 1: you're friends with animals or even friends with plants, No
25:55
Speaker 1: two friendships are the same. They're all per perfectly unique.
26:03
Speaker 1: That's right, said Otis. So even though wise one was
26:09
Speaker 1: right about there being many friendships out there, he wasn't
26:14
Speaker 1: right when he said ours wasn't unique. Hours is unique,
26:20
Speaker 1: just like everybody else's. Romy nodded. She could feel her
26:27
Speaker 1: eyes closing, her body drifting off towards sleep. But just
26:35
Speaker 1: before she drifted off, she said, yes, we must remember
26:42
Speaker 1: to tell him all about that tomorrow. Otis twittered his agreement,
26:51
Speaker 1: And then, just like that, beneath the star spangled sky
26:58
Speaker 1: of the savannah, Roamy and Otith, the rhino and the oxpecker,
27:06
Speaker 1: the best of friends fell into a deep and dream
27:13
Speaker 1: filled sleep. Now we are sailing into a soft and
27:20
Speaker 1: peaceful sleep. Feel the soft and cozy support of your bed.
27:31
Speaker 1: Feel the way your body, heavy and happy with sleepiness,
27:36
Speaker 1: is being carried upon it. It is as though you
27:43
Speaker 1: are being carried on gentle ocean currents, on the rising
27:49
Speaker 1: and falling of waves. Fear how they are lapping gently
27:56
Speaker 1: beneath you, bearing you into the land of sleep. These
28:06
Speaker 1: waves carrying you are deep and gentle, like our breath.
28:15
Speaker 1: Breathe with the waves. Breathe in and out, in and out.
28:26
Speaker 1: They go in.
28:30
Speaker 3: And out, in.
28:37
Speaker 1: And out. Close your eyes. Let your eyelids be heavy.
28:51
Speaker 1: Let your whole body relax as you sail into sleep.
29:01
Speaker 1: Feel your arms soft and heavy, and your legs and
29:08
Speaker 1: feet soft and heavy too. Let's pay some gentle attention
29:21
Speaker 1: to how our bodies are feeling. Keep your eyes closed,
29:30
Speaker 1: and that your mind come unhooked from your head. Your
29:38
Speaker 1: mind is a magical thing. It can stay inside your head,
29:44
Speaker 1: or it can travel all around your body, like a
29:49
Speaker 1: little person wandering around a house to check that all
29:54
Speaker 1: is well. Let your mind travel first to your breath.
30:03
Speaker 1: Feel the breath moving through your nose. Feel the breath
30:10
Speaker 1: moving into your chest or into your tummy, making it
30:16
Speaker 1: rise and fall, rise.
30:22
Speaker 4: And for.
30:24
Speaker 1: Good. Just focus on your breathing. That's wonderful. Now, let
30:40
Speaker 1: your mind float down from your breath. Let it travel
30:46
Speaker 1: down one of your arms. Feel the sensation in your arm.
30:56
Speaker 1: Feel how it is heavy on the bed or may
31:00
Speaker 1: be soft, tucked underneath your head. As you sleep, let
31:07
Speaker 1: your mind travel down your fingers. First, let your mind
31:15
Speaker 1: wander down to the tip of your thumb. Now down
31:22
Speaker 1: your first finger, now your middle finger, now your ring finger,
31:36
Speaker 1: and last, but not least, your pinky. What does it
31:41
Speaker 1: feel like at the end of your pinky? Bring your
31:48
Speaker 1: mind back up to your breathing and breathe in and out.
31:56
Speaker 1: Breathe in.
31:58
Speaker 5: And out.
32:01
Speaker 1: Now we're traveling with our minds all the way down
32:05
Speaker 1: our other arm. Let your mind go down each of
32:12
Speaker 1: your fingers on that arm. First, let your mind wander
32:21
Speaker 1: down to the tip of your thumb. Now down your
32:27
Speaker 1: first finger, now your middle finger, now your ring finger,
32:38
Speaker 1: and now your pinky. Very good. Now, let your mind
32:45
Speaker 1: come back to your chest and let it sit there,
32:50
Speaker 1: soft and heavy, right where your heart is. If you
32:59
Speaker 1: let your mind dress there, you will even be able
33:03
Speaker 1: to feel the gentle beating of your heart. Do you
33:10
Speaker 1: know what your heart says as its beating? It says,
33:16
Speaker 1: I love, I love, I love. That's what everyone's heart
33:23
Speaker 1: beat says, I love, I love, I love. And as
33:32
Speaker 1: everyone's heart beat says that the world fills up with love.
33:39
Speaker 1: The world fills up with each heartbeat like a lake
33:44
Speaker 1: filling up with the rain. Drops that fall from the sky.
33:51
Speaker 1: The lake of love can never be too full, and
33:57
Speaker 1: it can never be empty. The whole world is full
34:03
Speaker 1: of love. You are love. Your family love you, Your
34:10
Speaker 1: friends love you. People all across the world love you.
34:18
Speaker 1: The animals in the fields, and the birds in the trees,
34:22
Speaker 1: and even the trees themselves. They all love you too,
34:30
Speaker 1: and we love them back. That is the beautiful thing
34:35
Speaker 1: about love. You can never give too much of it
34:41
Speaker 1: because it can never run out. Love is like the
34:47
Speaker 1: water in the lake. There will always be more of it.
34:53
Speaker 1: It falls from the sky like rain and keeps us
34:57
Speaker 1: safe and happy. You are safe, You are happy, You
35:08
Speaker 1: are loved. While you're floating through your dreams, whisper your
35:16
Speaker 1: love to the world, say I love your world, and
35:23
Speaker 1: now listen out hear the world say it back. The
35:30
Speaker 1: world is saying I love you. The world is gentle,
35:39
Speaker 1: and you are gentle too. The world is kind and
35:47
Speaker 1: you are kind to the world is loved, and you
35:56
Speaker 1: are loved too. The rain loves the ground that it
36:02
Speaker 1: falls upon, and the ground loves the grass and trees
36:07
Speaker 1: and flowers that grow.
36:09
Speaker 3: Up out of it.
36:12
Speaker 1: And the grass loves the animals that walk upon it,
36:17
Speaker 1: and so the animals love the world they wander through
36:21
Speaker 1: because it is so beautiful, and the whole world loves you.
36:32
Speaker 1: Feel how your body is drifting peacefully upon the gentle lake.
36:40
Speaker 1: Let any worries that may have lingered from the day
36:44
Speaker 1: sail away from your mind. Watch them disappear, like a
36:51
Speaker 1: whole host of multi colored heathy and blooms being released
36:57
Speaker 1: into the sky. Watch them as they go, as they.
37:04
Speaker 3: Soar up high, smaller and smaller, They get smaller and smaller,
37:14
Speaker 3: until they had just little specks in the sky, and
37:21
Speaker 3: then they are gone. You are safe, You are kind.
37:33
Speaker 3: There is nothing to worry about as you drift into sleep,
37:39
Speaker 3: because you are drifting on.
37:42
Speaker 1: The lake of love.
37:47
Speaker 5: You are safe, You are happy, You are loved. The
37:58
Speaker 5: world is gentle and you you are gentle too. The
38:04
Speaker 5: world is kind, and you are kind too. The world
38:12
Speaker 5: is loved, and you are loved. To close your eyes.
38:22
Speaker 5: Let your eyelids get heavy, Let your limbs get heavy too.
38:32
Speaker 5: Feel your arms and legs falling heavily into your soft
38:37
Speaker 5: and cozy bed. Feel your chest rising and falling with
38:47
Speaker 5: your breathing, rising and falling like the waves on the
38:55
Speaker 5: lake of love. Sleep deep, little one, you are safe,
39:05
Speaker 5: you are happy, You are loved.
39:13
Speaker 1: There is more love in this world than there are
39:17
Speaker 1: stars in the sky. There is more kindness in this
39:23
Speaker 1: world than there are droplets of water in the entire lake.
39:31
Speaker 1: The world is gentle, and you are gentle too. The
39:39
Speaker 1: world is kind and you are kind to the world
39:47
Speaker 1: is loved, and you are loved too. Good Night, little one, Sleep.
