• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And just close your eyes. Take a deep breath in
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: through your nose. And slowly and gently breathe out through
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: your mouth. Again, deep breath in through your nose. And

  Speaker 1: slowly and gently Breathe out through your mouth. One more time.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Deep breath in through your nose and slowly and gently

  Speaker 1: rhythm of your breath and the steady beat of your
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: heart And take a moment to listen to your heartbeat.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And just feel a gentle rise and fall of your
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: chest as it moves in time with your heartbeat. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: with each beat of your heart you feel more and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: more relaxed. More and more calm and more and more peaceful.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And every time you breathe in you are breathing in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Deep relaxation. Making you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And it feels so good. Now, tense up your whole

  Speaker 1: body really tightly and hold it for just a few seconds. One, two, three.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Now let it go. And feel your legs coming limp
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And soft as your muscles relax. Feel your whole body
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: softening as you gently relax. But one more time. Tighten
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: up all of your muscles in your body really, really tightly.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Pull your hands into fists. And hold for just a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: few seconds. One. Two.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Three.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And let go. That's really good. Well done. And you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: are now so relaxed that your whole body is still.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So very still and so very heavy. And your body
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is so relaxed now. Now this is just a little
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: story to send you off to sleep. Once upon a time,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in a land filled with rolling hills and cheerful sunshine,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: there lived two very special animal friends. One was named Victor,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: who was an armadillo. Victor had a very best friend
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and he was called Casper. Casper the meerkat. Victor had
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a warm, sandy brown shell. That protected him just like
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a cosy home. Whilst Casper had sleek sandy brown fur
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and curious bright eyes. And they had been friends, best friends,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: since they were very, very tiny. And they went everywhere together.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Now on a beautiful sunny day, Victor and Casper decided
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to embark on a grand adventure. so they packed their
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: backpacks with delicious snacks and refreshing drinks, and off they went,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: riding their shiny scooters. Now Victor's scooter was painted with
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: colourful patterns that matched his shell, whilst Casper's scooter gleamed
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: with a cool blue shine. It was his favourite colour.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: In fact, his bedroom was also painted a cool blue,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: with lots of colourful posters on his walls. Victor and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Casper rode along on their scooters and they were just
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: laughing and having lots of fun as they went. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: then they decided to stop for a little break and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a nice refreshing drink. It was a very warm day
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and they were both very thirsty. As they stood there
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: together they looked up at the beautiful blue sky above
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: them and they could see the sun shining brightly with
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: not a cloud in the sky. And as they watched,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a flock of fabulous, colourful birds flew across the sky.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Their wings were very large and flapped powerfully on the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: gentle breeze. And it surely was an amazing sight to see.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Victor and Casper gave a little gasp of delight. They
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: had never seen these birds before and didn't know what
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they were called. So they stood for a moment and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: watched them as they flew off into the distance. Victor
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and Casper finished their drinks and got back on their
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: scooters and continued on their way. They went very fast
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: down twisty winding paths, but all the time laughing out
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: loud as the air whipped around their faces. Their journey
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: led them to a magical place called The Happy Wheels
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Skate Park. It was a bustling place, filled with laughter
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and excitement, and lots and lots of other animals of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: all different kinds. The skate park was adorned with vibrant
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: graffiti art, showcasing a rainbow of colours that danced across
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the walls, and it looked wonderful. The air was filled
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: with the rhythmic sounds of wheels rolling. and the joyous
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: cheers of all the other young animals, who were also
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: there with their scooters and their bikes. Some of them
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: even had rollerblades on, and they went whizzing past Victor
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and Casper. Everyone was having so much fun. As Victor
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and Casper explored the skate park, they made new friends.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: They met Pete, the zebra, with his bold black and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: white stripes. And they met Bob, the anteater, with his
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: long snout and soft brown fur. And together, they all
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: laughed and played, sharing stories and smiles. Casper, with his
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: nimble and agile nature, zipped around the skate park on
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: his scooter, his fluffy tail flying behind him. Victor, though
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a bit slower on his scooter, rolled along with a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: sense of determination, his shell gleaming in the sunlight. and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: they played like this together for quite a while. Soon, though,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: they were all feeling a bit puffed out, what with
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: all the dashing about on their scooters. So, under the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: shade of tall leafy trees, the friends found a cosy
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: spot to rest. The trees provided shelter, their branches swaying
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: gently in the warm breeze. And they sat there together,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: enjoying their snacks and drinks, while sharing tales of their adventures.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Kindness and friendship filled the air, creating a magical atmosphere.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: So just for a moment, you just listen to their stories,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and see if you can hear what they are saying.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I bet you can, if you listen hard enough. Thank you.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Wow.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Could you hear them telling their stories to each other?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: What did they talk about? I'll bet it was lots
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of fun. Now Casper, being a meerkat, was known for
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: his keen observation skills. He admired Victor's armadillo shell, which
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was like a portable home Victor carried wherever he went. Victor,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in turn, admired Casper's energetic and playful nature. He was
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: always ready for new challenges and exciting discoveries. But now,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: as the day drew to a close, the friends bid
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: farewell to the skate park, and with joyful hearts, they
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: waved goodbye to Pete and Bob, knowing they would meet
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: again on future adventures. Victor and Casper scooted back home,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: their hearts filled with memories of the fun they had shared.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: They had made new, kind friends, just like the two
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of them, and they were very happy. The sun began
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to set, painting the sky with hues of orange, pink
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and purple, and Victor and Casper returned to their cosy homes,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: grateful for the wonderful day they had experienced. and all
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the fun they had, and they were so grateful for
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: their new friends. And so, as the moon rose high
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in the sky, the stars twinkled above like tiny diamonds.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Victor and Casper drifted off to sleep, dreaming of new adventures, kindness,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and the endless fun that awaited them in the big,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: wide world. Night-night.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you for watching. I think it's a good thing.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I think it's a good thing. I think it's.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: A good thing.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you. you Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: for watching!
