  Speaker 1: Tonight's bedtime story is The Sleepy Submarine by Annabell Picture.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Let's get cozy and drift off together. Before we do,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: could you please tap subscribe. By doing this small thing,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you'll let YouTube know you love what we do, which
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: will help us grow. Let's get ourselves cozy, snuggle down,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and I'll begin. It was a rather unusual night for Cocoa.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Usually he'd be tucked up in bed in cozy cabin,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: but tonight his cozy wooden home in Sleepy Forest had
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: been replaced by a stretch of soft golden sand in
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Harmony Cove. He was having a sleepover and was feeling
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: happy from the tips of his fairy ears to the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: ends of his fairy toes. It was wonderful to visit
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: friends in different places, and he lay contentedly on the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: beach next to Michelle the Turtle, gazing at the stars
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: which gleamed and glimmered overhead. The sky seemed wider than
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it ever did in Sleepy Forest, stretching far beyond the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: tops of the cliffs, and the stars were close enough
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to count one, two, miss a few ninety nine, one hundred,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: giggled Cocoa, marveling at the sheer volume of stars bathing
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: him in silvery light. He shifted position on the sand,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: which felt warm with the memory of the day's sunshine.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: What a day, What a day, indeed, Michelle agreed.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: A busy one.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I was glad of your help, Cocoa, thank you. No
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: need to thank me, Coco replied, I enjoyed every second
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of it. It was true, the little koala had had
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun helping in the lost property office,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: where the turtle worked carefully lining up the buckets, goggles,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and other curious treasures that had been left behind on
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the beach. There had been a lot of visitors to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Harmony Cove that day, families carrying picnic baskets, youngsters building
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: sand castles, and swimmers racing in and out of the water,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and the little office had bustled with cheerful chatter from
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: morning until late afternoon. Michelle was an expert in handling
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: all the queries and questions, finding out the precise information
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: he needed to locate the lost items. Was it yellow
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like the sun or yellow like the sand? He'd asked
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: tiny tearful crab who'd misplaced his sun hat. Michelle had
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: nodded carefully as he had listened to the squeaky reply,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: easily locating the hat among a basket of abandoned clothes
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: at the back of the office. The crab had clapped
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: his claws with delight when the hat was returned, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Coco had felt a warm glow of satisfaction at being
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: part of the rescue. Only one item hadn't been reclaimed
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: by the end of the day, a delicate shell necklace
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: with a gleaming pearl pendant. Michelle had looked at it,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: his eyes narrowing with curiosity as he held the necklace
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in his flipper. I wonder, he muttered, placing the necklace
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in the front pocket of his satchel. But what he
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: wondered had remained a mystery to Coco. Coco hadn't dwelt
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on it for later in the afternoon, when the sun
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: had dipped low, the two friends had gone swimming. They'd
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: slipped into the crystal clear water, gliding slowly through the waves,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: chatting happily. In the last glimmers of sunlight. Michelle had
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: dived below the surface, his strong flippers carrying him down
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to the ribbons of seaweed that swayed gently in the water.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Clusters of smooth, pale rocks had glistened on the sandy
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: ocean floor, and tiny shells had shimmered in the twilight.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It had looked like treasure, and Cocoa had ached with
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: longing as he'd watched it all from above, how wonderful
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it would have been to follow Michelle into the calm,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: underwater world and explore the sparkly sea bed for himself. Now,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: as night said settled over Harmony Cove and Koala Moon
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: climbed steadily above the cliffs, Coco gazed out across the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: moonlit ocean and wondered what might lie beneath the waves.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: There In the hushed world below, he pictured mer people
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: singing quietly, shimmering bubbles of music emerging from their lips.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: They sang about things that Coko didn't understand, things that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Cocoa ached to understand. The thought stirred something inside Coco,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a deep, powerful yearning not just to see those places
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: from above, but to belong to them, if only for
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a little while. Koko lay still for a moment, listening
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to the soft rhythm of the waves breaking against the shore,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Pictures drifting through his mind like a dream. Coral arches
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: shaped like grand doorways, glowing caverns filled with treasure, winding
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: passages that led to secret underwater caves. How he longed
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to see it all. Then, as if the ocean itself
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: had heard his wish, the surface of the water gave
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a slow, curious ripple. It spread outward in widening circles,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and Koko lifted his head, pushing himself upright on the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: beach and peering closely at the sea to see what
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: might be rising from below. The ripple grew larger as
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the water bulged upward, sending tiny rings of light dancing
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: across the ocean. What is going on, he asked, gazing
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: at Michelle, who gave an enormous grin. Oh, well done, Coco,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Michele gasped, well done, well done, well done, well done,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Coco repeated, feeling rather baffled.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: What do you mean well done?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to be rude, Michele, but what am
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I supposed to have done? Michele simply chuckled. Oh you'll see,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he said, dusting sand off his stout little legs and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: hooking his satchel over his shell as he stood up.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Come on, and with that, the little turtle hurried off
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: across the sand. Coco followed, and just at that moment,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: an almighty shape emerged where the ripple had once been.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: It rose up and out of the ocean, the top
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of something gold and shiny, breaking through the moonlit surface.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Coco's jaw fell open as more of the golden vessel appeared.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It was enormous, heart pounding. He took in the small
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: round windows and the tall, gleaming periscope and finally understood
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: what he was seeing.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Is that Is that a submarine? He asked.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It is indeed, Michel replied, glancing back over his shoulder
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to grin at the look of surprise on Coco's face,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and we are climbing aboard. Coco stood for a few seconds,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: hardly daring to believe his eyes a submarine. Coco watched
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: as the golden vessel drifted towards the wooden jetty, the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: other moored boats seeming to move aside, as if understanding
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that this visitor to Harmony Cove was rather special. Coco
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: hurried to catch up with Michelle, and together the two
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: friends made their way to the water's edge. The wooden
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: planks of the jetty gave a friendly creak as they
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: stepped onto it, and the golden submarine rocked in slow,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: even motions.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: With the tide.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Coco paused for a moment, his eyes wide with wonder
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: as he looked at the shining vessel floating on the water.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: The submarines rounded golden walls were not plain and smooth
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: as Coco had first. As he stepped closer, he noticed
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: delicate patterns pressed into the metal, beautiful embossed shapes that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: caught the moonlight and twinkled. There were Muhr people carved
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: along the sides, their flowing tails curling through strands of seaweed,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: their hair drifting behind them as if moving in real water.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Each figure was carefully detailed with tiny shells, intricate jewelry
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and bubbles worked into the design, so that the whole
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: surface looked like a quiet underwater scene captured in gold.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful, Coco breathed, And it's all yours, Michele said,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: for tonight, at least you summoned it, Coco. The Murr
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: people sent it. Coco's eyes grew big and round as
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Koala moon I summoned it. He put a quivering hand
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: on his beating chest, me, Michelle nodded, you. But how
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't ask for it? The little Koala shrugged, at
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a loss to understand how someone as small as him
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: could summon something as big as this. I didn't do anything, Michelle.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Michelle turned to Coco with the same kindly expression he'd
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: warned for the customers at the Lost Property office. You
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: yearned for it, Coco, You wished for it. You you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: longed to go underwater and visit the Murh people. And
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: they heard you. Your heart spoke to theirs. They sent
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: this to collect you. Dazed, Coco stared up at the periscope,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: where a tiny lantern shone in the darkness. The light
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: flickered and danced, touching the patterns on the submarine. The
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: mermaid shimmered, seeming to glide along the curved walls, as
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: though they were gently leading the way, ready to guide
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Coco into their underwater world. Can we really visit the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Murh people, he whispered, Really really, Michel smiled, really really.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: The two friends stepped closer to the submarine, and as
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they did so, a long metal ladder appeared out of nowhere,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: magically lowering from the top of the golden vessel. All
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the way down to the wooden jetty, its rungs gleaming
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: softly in the lantern light. It led to a hatch
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: on the deck of the submarine. The submarine rocked gently,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: making the ladder sway. Cocoa eyed it, feeling nervous. Glad
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that Michel was going first. He marveled as his friend
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: placed a confident flipper on the lowest rung and climbed
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: with ease, the satchel bouncing against his jade green shell.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: The lost necklace in the front pocket gave a little tinkle,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: as if calling out to its owner were they were.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: When Michelle reached the top of the ladder, he turned
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and looked down at Cocoa with a reassuring smile. Your turn,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: he said. Coco took a deep breath, placing a tentative
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: pour on the ladder. He started to climb, rung by rung.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Keep going, Michelle said, peering over the top of the submarine.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: You can do it, Cocoa.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Cocoa continued upwards, trying to ignore the swaying motion of
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the ladder, the quiet creak of the jetty, and the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: soft lap of water below. At last, he reached the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: round hatch where Koala moon was reflected on the smooth
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: domed surface. Is that how we get in? Coco asked,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: As if in reply, the hatch turned and hissed. With
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a soft click, It opened of its own accord, a warm,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: welcoming glow spilling out from inside like an invitation to adventure.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Michele chuckled, I assume so, Coco. He stood aside and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: held out a flipper after you. Taking a second deep breath,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Coco gripped the edge of the round opening and carefully
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: swung a leg over the rim of the hatch. He
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: peered into the submarine, spotting a narrow metal ladder leading
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: down to a softly lit cabin. The faint, steady hum
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: of the vessel was low and comforting, like a distant purr.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: He placed a paw on the first rung of the ladder,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: testing it carefully, before lowering himself down.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Step by step.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: The metal felt cool beneath his paws, and the round
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: hatch framed a circle of moonlight that grew smaller as
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he descended. He was leaving the world above the water behind.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: When his feet finally touched the floor of the submarine,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Coco gazed around at the snug cabin. Polished brass dials
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: lined the curved walls, colored buttons glowed like jewels, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: thick glass windows looked out over the dark blue water
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: of Harmony Cove. There was a sturdy wooden table strewn
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: with rolled up maps, shelves crowded with bottles of shimmering sand,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and strings of pearly shells that glimmered softly along the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: curved walls. Coco glanced back up at the hatch, waiting
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: eagerly for Michelee. Four green flippers appeared, and soon the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: turtle was climbing down the ladder with a soft thud.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: He reached the floor beside Coco and looked around the cabin,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: nodding with satisfaction. Well, then he said, shall we get comfortable?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Coco followed Michele across the cabin, where two wide, cushioned
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: seats had been placed in front of a large window
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: set into the golden wall.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: The glass was.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Thick and perfectly clear, polished until it shone like crystal.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: The two friends settled themselves into the seats, then peered
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: out of the window, their noses almost the glass. Outside.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: The wooden posts of the jetty stood tall and familiar
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in the moonlight. For a moment, everything was still. Then
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the floor beneath their feet began to rumble, soft at first,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: then a little louder, like the gentle rumble of distant thunder.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We're setting off, Coco cried, his ears twitching in excitement.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: We're about to leave.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: We certainly are, Michel replied, fastening about across his lap.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for the ride?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Coco nodded as he strapped himself into the submarine, gave
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: a small, careful shiver, and then with a smooth, steady motion,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: it eased away from the jetty. The wooden posts drifted
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: slowly past the glass, followed by the shadowy shapes of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the boats bobbing quietly on the water. Cocoa watched every
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: inch of movement, hardly blinking. Almost without a splash, the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: submarine began to sink very slowly. The line of the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: water crept higher across the window, until the moonlight disappeared,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: replaced by the soft, dim blue of the sea. Bubbles
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: slipped upward past the glass in lazy trails, and the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: surface of the ocean became a shimmering ceiling far above them.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Coco let out a small gasp. We're under the water,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: he whispered, We're actually.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Under the water.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Soon the sandy bottom of Harmony Cove came into view,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Softly lit by the vessel's lamps. Long ribbons of seaweed
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: swayed back and forth, moving in slow, graceful motions, reminding
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: cocoa of grass blowing in the wind. Back in sleepy forest,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a school of small silver fish darted past the window,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: turning in unison so their scales flashed like tiny mirrors.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: One curious fish paused for a moment, hovering near the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: glass as if to inspect the visitors, before flicking its
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: tail and swimming away again. Look at that cocoa, Michele said,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: pointing toward the seabed. Ko Ko leaned forward, pressing his
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: paws against the window. A crab was shuffling sideways across
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the sand, its claws raised importantly as it navigated across
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a cluster of smooth stones. Near By, a starfish rested quietly,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: its arms spread wide like a little sun. Ko Ko's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: heart filled with bubbling joy. He had watched this world
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: from above, he had wondered about it, day dreamed about it,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and now he was inside it. He remembered the deep,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: powerful yearning he had felt, the longing in his chest.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: How miraculous it was that his wish had been heard
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: by the Murrh people in a distant underwater land. And
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: now I'm here, he said, softly, his voice full of awe,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: underneath the ocean, and on my way to meet them.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: With a satisfied sigh, Coco settled back into his seat
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: As the submarine glided forward. It moved across the sandy
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: floor of the cove, carrying them deeper into the calm,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: mysterious world beneath the sea. Gradually, the sea bed began
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to change. The smooth sand gave way to gentle hills
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and rocky ridges, dotted with swaying forests of seaweed that
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: rose tall and green like underwater trees. Bright fish slipped
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: in and out of the leaves, vanishing and rearing, as
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: if playing hide and seek. Ahead of them, the water
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: grew darker. It felt hushed and secret, like stepping into
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: a quiet hall where something important was waiting to be discovered.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Strange and beautiful shapes began to appear. It was the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: stuff Coco had longed to see, the stuff he had.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Dreamed of seeing.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Great coralaches shaped like grand doorways, curved overhead, their branches
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: twisting and looping together to make a long, dark tunnel.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: The submarine passed through it, moving this way and that,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: navigating the tight corners with ease. It seemed to know
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: where it was going, emerging from the last coralade into
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: a dark section of ocean where caverns shimmered in the darkness.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: They were filled with treasure, just like Coco had imagined,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: piles of smooth jewels, polished shells, and glints of silver
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and gold that sparkled softly in the dim blue light.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: In one cavern, pearls that looked just like the one
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: on the necklace glimmered and shone.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Who does it all belong to? Coco?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Whispered the murr people I expect, Michel replied. Coco looked
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: at the front pocket of the satchel, wondering about the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: lost necklace.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Inside.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: The space narrowed, funneling the submarine along a thin path
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: that twisted and turned beneath the waves. The passageway led
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to a series of underwater caves. Some were small and cozy,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: tucked into the rock like burrows, while others stretched far
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: back into the shadows. Coco pressed his furry face against
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the window, his eyes wide and shining. At last, the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: winding passageway opened into a glimmering stretch of ocean, and
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Coco felt his breath catch in his Throat the land of.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: The Murr people.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: He gasped, Look, Michele, Look. There was more magical than
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Coco could ever have imagined. Buildings rose from the seabed,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: tall and magnificent. Huge white pillars stood in long, impressive rows,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and smooth marble walls gleamed in the light that filtered
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: down from Koala Moon, somewhere high above the water. For
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a moment, Coco floated above it all, seeing himself beneath
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the surface in the golden submarine as mer people drifted
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: around it, their tails flashing silver and turquoise as they
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: moved about their day. And then, quite suddenly, the submarine
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: stopped by a wide stone platform. Outside the window, mr
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: people gathered, their long hair drifting gently around their kind,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: curious faces. With a gentle hiss, the hatch of the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: submarine unlocked. Coco stared at it, suddenly, feeling disappointed. In
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: all the excitement, he'd forgotten something rather important. He still
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't breathe under water. He would never be able to
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: leave the submarine and meet the Muh people. Michele seemed
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to have forgotten this vital detail too, He was already
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: out of his seat, unfastening his belt and hooking his
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: satchel over his shell. He clapped his flippers together, right,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: he said, cheerfully. Shall we go and say hello? Coco hesitated,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: staring down at his furry toes. But how can I, Michel,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: he asked in a small, sad voice. I can't breathe
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: out there. Michele put a flipper around Coco's soft shoulders
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and chuckled. You'll see, he said, for the second time
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that evening. Come together. The two friends climbed the ladder,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Michelle first, Coco following close behind, still feeling rather wary.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: When Michelle pushed open the hatch, Coco held his breath,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: but not a single drop of water spilled inside. The
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: ocean hovered above the submarine like a clear, wobbly ceiling.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: His magic.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Coco breathed in amazement. They even chanted the water just
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: for you. Michelle replied, I knew they would. Who can't
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: come all this way and stay in the submarine.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Can you.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Dazed but happy, Coco followed the turtle out of the hatch,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: floating down to the stone platform with a murph. People
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: were waiting. He glanced at them shyly. A tall mermaid
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: with green eyes glided forward to meet them, her smile
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: gentle and welcoming. We heard your wish, Coco, she said,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: in a soft, lilting voice. It was a pure wish
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: from a pure heart, and so we sent the submarine
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to collect you. Coco's cheeks warmed with surprise and pride.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: He looked around at the beautiful, ornate buildings, hardly able
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to believe he was standing in the land.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: He had dreamed about.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: The Murrh.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: People watched him, their eyes bright with interest. Among them,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: small groups of Muh children swam in restless circles, whispering
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and pointing at the visitors. One female Muchild hovered near
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the front of the crowd, peeking out from behind the others.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: She caught Coco's eye and waved, and as she did so,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Coco noticed a shell bracelet with a pearl pendant twinkling
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: on her wrist. Michelle, Coco said, gesturing at the Muchild look,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: that bracelet is identical to the lost necklace.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Ah, good work, Coco.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Michelle replied, sounding delighted. Good work, indeed excitedly. The turtle
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: reached into the front pocket of his satchel before hurrying
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: over to the little Muchild. I believe I have something
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: that may belonged to you, he said. The murr people
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: leaned forward with interest as Michele carefully held out the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: shell necklace on his shiny green flipper. The murchild gasped
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: my necklace, she said. Michel placed the lost item into
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the merchild's waiting hands. Found on the beach at Harmony Cove,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: he said in his steady professional voice, and now safely
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: returned the Muchild beamed hugging the necklace close. Kocho felt
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a warm glow spread through him, the same pride he'd
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: felt earlier in the Lost Property office when the lost
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: hat had been returned to the little crab. It was
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: good to do nice things, so very very good. Coco
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and Michelle stayed for a couple of hours after that,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: visiting the coral gardens, admiring the tall buildings and watching
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the mer children dart and play among the seaweed. It
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: was everything Coco had hoped for and more. At last,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Michelle rested a gentle flipper on Coco's shoulder. Time to
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: head home, he said kindly. Coco nodded, feeling pleasantly wonderfully tired. Together,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the two friends bid farewell to the Murr people, promising
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to visit again soon. Wearily, they climbed back into the submarine,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: the hatch closing softly above them. Goodbye, Coco called, goodbye,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: We'll come again soon. The golden vessel eased away from
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the platform and began the slow, steady journey back through
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the winding passages and coral arches, leaving the shining city behind.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Coco settled into his cushioned seat by the window, watching
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the deep blue water drift past. His eyelids grew heavier
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and heavier as the submarine glided smoothly onward. Soon his
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: head tipped gently to one side, and before they'd even
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: reached the sandy floor of Harmony Cove, Cocoa had fallen
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: fast asleep, dreaming of coral archways, sparkling treasure, and a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: little merchild with a gleaming pearl necklace smiling. Now we
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: are sailing into a soft and peaceful sleep.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Feel the soft and.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Cozy support of your bed. Feel the way your body,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: heavy and happy with sleepiness, is being carried upon it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: It is as though you are being carried on gentle
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: ocean currents, on the rising and falling of waves. Feel
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: how they are lappy, gently beneath you, bearing you into
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: the land of sleep. These waves carrying you are deep.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: And gentle, like our breath.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Breathe with the waves.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Breathe in and out, in and out they go in
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: and out, in.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: And out.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Close your eyes.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Let your eyelids be heavy. Let your whole body relax,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: as you said, fail into sleep. Feel your arms soft
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: and heavy, and your legs and feet soft and heavy too.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Let's pay some gentle attention to how our bodies are feeling.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Keep your eyes closed, and that your mind come unhooked
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: from your head. Your mind is a magical thing. It
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: can stay inside your head, or it can travel all
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: around your body, like a little person wandering around a
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: house to check that all is well. Let your mind
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: travel first to your breath. Feel the breath moving through
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: your nose. Feel the breath moving into your chest or
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: into your tummy, making it rise and fall, Rise and
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: fall good. Just focus on your breathing. That's wonderful. Now
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: let your mind float down from your breath. Let it
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: travel down one of your arms. Feel the sensation in
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: your arm. Feel how it is heavy on the bed,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: or maybe soft tucked underneath your head as you sleep.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Let your mind travel down your fingers. First, let your
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: mind wander down to the tip of your thumb. Now
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: down your first finger, now your middle finger, now your
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: ring finger, and last, but not least, your pinky. What
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: does it feel like at the end of your pinky?
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Bring your mind back up to your breathing and breathe in. Now,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: breathe in.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: And out.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Now we're traveling with our minds all the way down
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: our other arm. Let your mind go down each of
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: your fingers on that arm. First, let your mind wander
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: down to the tip of your thumb. Now down your
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: first finger, now your middle finger, now your ring finger,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: and now you're pinky.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Very good.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Now, let your mind come back to your chest and
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: let it sit there, soft and heavy, right where your
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: heart is. If you let your mind rest there, you
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: will even be able to feel the gentle beating of
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: your heart. Do you know what your heart says as
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: it's beating? It says I love, I love, I love.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: That's what everyone's heart beat says, I love, I love,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I love. And as everyone's heart beat says that the
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: world fills up with love, the world fills up with
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: each heartbeat, like a lake filling up with the raindrops
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: that fall from the sky. The lake of love can
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: never be too and it can never be empty. The
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: whole world is full of love. You are loved. Your
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: family love you, Your friends love you. People all across the
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: world love you. The animals in the fields, and the
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: birds in the trees, and even the trees themselves. They
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: all love you too, and we love them back. That
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: is the beautiful thing about love. You can never give
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: too much of it because it can never run out.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Love is like the water in the lake. There will
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: always be more of it. It falls from the sky
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: like rain and keeps us safe and happy. You are safe,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: You are happy, You are loved. While you're floating through
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: your dreams, whisper your love to the world, say I
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: love your world, and now listen out hear the world
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: say it back. The world is saying I love you.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: The world is gentle, and you are gentle too. The
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: world is kind and you are kind to the world
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: is loved, and you are loved too. The rain loves
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: the ground that falls upon and the ground loves the
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: grass and trees and flowers that grow up out of it,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: And the grass loves the animals that walk upon it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: And so the animals love the world they wander through
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: because it is so beautiful, And the whole world loves you.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Fear how your body is drifting peacefully upon the gentle lake.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Let any worries that may have lingered from the day
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: sail away from your mind. Watch them disappear, like a
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: whole host of multi colored heathiu and blue being released
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: into the sky. Watch them as they go, as they
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: soar up high, smaller and smaller, They get smaller and
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: smaller until they are just little specs in the sky,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: and then they are gone. You are safe, you are kind.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: There is nothing to worry about as you drift into sleep,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: because you are drifting on the lake of love. You
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: are safe, You are happy.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: You are loved. The world is gentle, and you are
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: gentle too. The world is kind, and you are kind too.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: The world is loved, and you are loved. To close
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: your eyes, let your eyelids get heavy. Let your limbs
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: get heavy too. Feel your arms and legs falling heavily
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: into your soft and cozy bed. Feel your chest rising
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: and falling with your breathing, rising and falling like the
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: way use on the lake of love. Sleep little one.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: You are safe, you are happy, You are loved. There
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: is more love in this world than there are stars
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: in the sky. There is more kindness in this world
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: than there are droplets of water in the entire lake.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: The world is gentle, and you are gentle too. The
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: world is kind and you are kind to.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: The world is loved, and you are loved too. Good
