Speaker 1: Make yourself all cozy and nice and relaxed in your bed,
0:26
and then close your eyes. Take a deep breath in,
0:32
and then slowly and gently let the breath out.
0:40
Speaker 2: Again.
0:41
Speaker 1: Deep breath in, and then slowly and gently let the
0:47
breath out one more time. Deep breath in, and slowly
0:58
and gently let the breath out, and just relax. Now,
1:08
imagine you're walking in a beautiful, lush green rainforest with
1:15
the most amazing trees. Some of them are very tall,
1:21
so tall it looks like they reach up to the sky.
1:26
And you're deep in the forest, and you realize it's
1:30
late in the evening because you notice that the sun
1:34
has already set and it's disappearing beyond the trees. The
1:40
night sky is growing darker, and you look up and
1:44
you can see the stars have come out, and you
1:48
notice that the moon is shining brightly high up in
1:52
the sky, lighting your way forward. The stars are so
1:58
very bright, you can see them clearly as you walk along,
2:03
and the air smells so fresh and crisp. It fills
2:08
your lungs, helping them to expand and really breathe in deeply,
2:13
and it feels so good. As you walk, you can
2:20
hear the amazing sounds of the evening. You can hear
2:24
an owl.
2:25
Speaker 3: Calling to its mate. You can hear the gentle hum
2:28
of crickets. You can hear the wings of the birds
2:34
as they fly to the resting place for the night.
2:38
You can even hear twigs being broken and stepped upon
2:42
by the animals of the night as they go about
2:45
their business.
2:47
Speaker 1: And this comforts you, and it makes you feel quite safe,
2:53
very relaxed, and so calm and so peaceful. Stop suddenly
3:00
and look ahead of you, and you see what looks
3:04
like a dinosaur. Wow, a real live dinosaur. He has
3:14
a long neck and a very long tail, but rather
3:18
a small body. His skin is brown like the bark
3:22
on the trees, and it has long stripes on it
3:26
that are the color of the green leaves. And he
3:30
has the most amazing, big brown kind eyes. He also
3:37
has a bright orange tie around his long neck and
3:41
a very big, bright yellow flower sticking out behind one
3:44
of his ears. Hmmm, it's a bit odd. The dinosaur
3:51
is gently eating the grass and the flowers around him. Phew.
3:56
You think to yourself, well, that's okay, because now you
3:59
know that he won't eat you because he has a
4:02
herbivore and not a carnival. Only carnivores eat meat, so
4:07
they won't eat you. You watch him quietly for a
4:13
moment because you don't want to scare him, and you
4:17
notice how he chooses food. It's like his mouth is
4:21
rolling from side to side, you know, kind of like
4:24
the way a cow does. And he looks like he's
4:27
really enjoying it too. He's very happily munching away without
4:34
a care in the world. Suddenly he sees you, and
4:44
he stops and he looks at you, and then just
4:48
as suddenly, he darts behind a very large tree. He's
4:53
hiding from you. He thinks you can't see him now,
4:57
but he can't because his very long tail sticking out
5:02
and you can see it, and you can also see
5:05
his bright orange tie flapping in the breeze. You walk
5:10
over to where he is hiding and you say hello.
5:15
You tell him not to be afraid. You're not going
5:17
to hurt him. You just want to say hello. The
5:23
dinosaur with the big, bright orange tie and the big
5:28
yellow flower behind his ear peeks out from behind the
5:32
tree and he looks scared, but you tell him it's okay.
5:37
You just want to be his friend. The dinosaur slowly
5:44
steps out from behind the tree and very shyly says hello,
5:51
and you smile at him and tell him your name,
5:54
and he smiles back at you, and he tells you
5:58
that his name is Douglas, and you say you are
6:01
very pleased to meet him. You asked Douglas why he's
6:06
so scared of you, and he tells you it's not
6:10
that he's just scared of you, he's scared of everyone,
6:15
even the other dinosaurs. He tells you that he doesn't
6:19
have any friends, only his mom and his dad, and
6:22
you think that's very sad. Douglas tells you that because
6:27
he doesn't know anyone, they scare him. He says he's
6:33
very afraid of anything new, not just dinosaurs and people everything.
6:40
You tell him that to shame, because new things can
6:43
be fun. And you tell him, what if you found
6:48
a new fruit that you hadn't tasted before, but you
6:52
wouldn't try it well because it was new, then you
6:56
would be missing out on something very tasty, because sometimes
7:01
new fruit tastes much better than the old fruit. Douglas
7:07
says that that is true, but eating new fruit isn't
7:13
the same as meeting new people. So you tell him
7:18
that meeting new people is much better than meeting or
7:22
tasting new fruit. If he met new people and new dinosaurs,
7:31
then maybe he would meet someone who could be his
7:35
best friend, someone who he could play with and go
7:39
on adventures with. Now, wouldn't that be nice? But what
7:43
if I met someone new and I didn't like them?
7:46
Douglas says, Well, you say, if you meet someone that
7:53
you don't like, you can still be nice to them,
7:56
but you don't have to be their friend. You can
7:59
just say they goodbye and not see them again, and
8:02
then everything would be okay. Douglas has he never thought
8:07
about it that way before? He says, all he ever
8:10
did was hide away from them. You tell him that
8:17
sometimes there are strange people and strange creatures, but mostly
8:24
everybody are usually very nice. So you tell him that
8:30
sometimes it's worth meeting a few maybe not so nice,
8:36
just to meet the ones who are nice, because you
8:39
will meet them. So for a few moments, stay with
8:44
Douglas and show how nice and friendly that you can be.
8:51
You can tell him all about your friends too, how
8:54
nice they are. You can tell him all about the
8:57
bit in your life, the good bit and the bad
8:59
bittle they're not some good birds that you don't really
9:01
like very much.
9:03
Speaker 2: But you still have a wide.
9:05
Speaker 1: Circle of friends. All these people in your case, people
9:11
that you love very much, some you just like, some
9:15
you don't like. But the ones you don't like, you
9:17
just don't have to see them again, do you. Maybe
9:20
you can help Douglas to find some new friends of
9:24
his own, So just stay with him for a few
9:27
moments and help him and be kind. That was nice,
12:34
wasn't it? Just you and Douglas making a friendship that
12:41
will last forever. But now it's time for you to
12:46
return to your own home. Now you've had a really
12:50
lovely time with your new friend Douglas, and you've helped
12:54
him very much. Now he's not so scared to meet
12:58
new people or new creatures, and he's not so scared
13:02
to try new things because you helped him, because you
13:08
were kind to him. Douglas looks a little bit sad
13:13
that you are leaving, but you tell him that you
13:17
will be back again really soon. Then Douglas gives you
13:21
a great big smile of happiness, and this makes you
13:25
very happy too. Douglas gives you a wave and says goodbye.
13:31
And bravely turns away. But he does feel ever so
13:36
brave now, ever so confident. And you did this for him.
13:42
You helped him to be brave, and you helped him
13:46
to be confident. And you should be very very proud
13:50
of yourself. And remember you can come back here any
13:58
time you want to see Douglas again, and I know
14:02
that it'd be very very happy if you do. So.
14:07
For now, just breathe in through your nose and slowly
14:13
and gently breathe out through your mouth.
14:19
Speaker 2: Again, breathe in.
14:22
Speaker 1: And slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. One
14:30
last gentle time. Breathe in.
14:35
Speaker 2: And slowly breathe out.
14:39
Speaker 1: Through your mouth, and you find yourself now back in
14:45
your very own bed, feeling so happy, so peaceful, but
14:53
very very tired.
14:57
Speaker 2: So close your eyes now and just.
15:00
Speaker 1: Rest night night. Now, imagine yourself sitting in a huge
15:11
football stadium right.
15:13
Speaker 2: At the end of the pitch.
15:16
Speaker 1: The sky there is a beautiful blue and there's hardly
15:20
any clouds at all, and the sun is at its highest,
15:24
and there are thousands of people all around you. The
15:29
stadium is very full, well it would be. It is,
15:35
after all the Cup final. You look out onto the pitch.
15:42
When you see a football match in full swing, the
15:46
players are running up and down the field, passing the
15:48
ball to each other, all of them trying to get
15:51
the ball off the other team and trying so desperately
15:54
to win the match and bring the cup home. That
16:00
on the backs of the players' shirts is their number
16:05
and the name of their team. One team is called
16:09
the Growley Bears. The other team it's called the Cheeky Monkeys.
16:14
How od you've never heard names like that before, especially
16:18
for football teams. Well, the reason the teams have those
16:23
odd names is because of their mascots. The Growley Bears
16:27
mascot is a great, big brown pear who keeps growling
16:31
every time the other teams score a goal.
16:34
Speaker 2: He does not like that very much.
16:37
Speaker 1: The Chicken Monkey's mascot is a large black monkey with
16:42
brown patches on them, and he is very cheeky. He
16:46
keeps pulling tongs at the Growley Bears, trying to put
16:49
them off their game.
16:50
Speaker 2: That's not very nice, is it?
16:54
Speaker 1: But it is very exciting watching the match. The atmosphere
16:58
is amazing and you can smell hot dogs and popcorn
17:02
and it's making you feel a bit hungry too. But
17:06
there are people everywhere. Some of them are waving their
17:11
team starves high in the air. Some of them are
17:15
just shouting telling the teams who to pass the ball to,
17:19
and some of them are just singing very loudly, cheering
17:22
their team on.
17:24
Speaker 2: And you love it.
17:25
Speaker 1: Here as you are sitting so close to the pitch,
17:31
there are Growley Bear team members sitting in front of you,
17:36
And there is a little boy who is sitting on
17:38
the bench dressed in the team colors, and he turns
17:42
to you and he grins. He tells you his name
17:45
is Jake and that he is a substitute for his team.
17:51
He tells you he is waiting for a chance to
17:53
get on the pitch and play, and he says he's
17:56
been waiting for a very long time now he is
18:00
ready for when he's called upon. The two of you
18:04
have a little chat together whilst watching the game. We
18:07
are both so excited because it looks like the Browny
18:10
Bears are winning. The score is to one, and the
18:13
Growley Bears fans are shouting very loudly egging their team up.
18:18
And just as you both think your team is going
18:22
to win, one of the chicky Monkey's players gets the
18:26
ball and dribbles all the way up the field, but
18:30
your team can't catch him. He is so fast. Then
18:35
he stops, he aims his shoots and the ball fires
18:38
thunderously into.
18:40
Speaker 2: The back of the net. The crowd roars were delight.
18:44
Speaker 1: The Chicken Monkeys all jump on the airs and start
18:46
hugging each other.
18:47
Speaker 2: They have just even up the score.
18:51
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's now too old. Jake looks very disappointed,
18:59
as it's the cup. He really really wanted his team
19:03
to take home that precious cup. The match resumes with
19:10
both teams trying desperately to score the winning goal. Then
19:15
suddenly the referee blows his whistle. It's nearly the end
19:19
of the game and one of the Browley Bears team
19:22
members has taken a knock. He was tripped up by
19:27
a cheeky Monkey's player. It's a foul, but there is
19:32
only four minutes left in the game to play, and
19:35
you can see a discussion going on on the field
19:38
between the ref and the players. The team's managers enter
19:43
the pitch and join in with the talks. Then they
19:48
all turn to look at Jake. The manager walks over
19:52
to Jake and tells him. This is his chance. He
19:57
has been selected to take the place of the injured play.
20:01
Speaker 2: Jake is ecstatic.
20:03
Speaker 1: He is so happy, and you are so happy for
20:07
him because you know what it means to him. Jake
20:11
runs onto the field and joins his team members. They
20:16
talked to Jake and then they too turn.
20:19
Speaker 2: To look at you.
20:21
Speaker 1: They need another player, so Jake said that he wants
20:25
you to play too.
20:26
Speaker 2: You are over the moon.
20:30
Speaker 1: You get up and go on to the field, and
20:33
suddenly you have the same kit on that Jake has.
20:37
Speaker 2: It just appeared on you like magic.
20:39
Speaker 1: You are so happy. The game starts up again with
20:46
only four minutes left. One of the players has the
20:51
ball to when you run with it, and as you
20:54
run towards the goal, you look for a player who
20:57
is open and you see the Jake, but he's further
21:01
away than you thought. So you dribble past another man
21:05
and then play a perfect throw ball over to Jake.
21:11
Jake receives the ball and bombs towards the opposition goal.
21:15
The goalkeeper is ready for him, though, and comes rushing
21:18
out towards Jake at great speed, and there is now
21:21
only one minute left before the whistle blows Jake composes
21:27
himself and as the keeper approaches him, he chips the
21:31
ball delightfully over the goalkeeper's head. Everyone holds their breath,
21:35
including you. The ball sails.
21:38
Speaker 2: Through the air.
21:39
Speaker 1: It seems like it's in slow motion. Then the ball
21:44
nettles into the back of the net water goal. The
21:48
crowd go wild, that is, cheering and singing. The players
21:52
all run to Jake just as the final whistle blows.
21:56
The Growley Bears have won. They have won the cup
21:59
final and the cup is coming home. Yes, the other
22:05
players pick up Jake and raise him high on their shoulders.
22:11
Speaker 2: Then some of them come for you and raise you.
22:12
Speaker 1: Up to After all, it was you who provided the
22:17
wonderful assist for Jake. Without the two of you playing,
22:21
they probably would have lost the match. Your team all
22:27
lines up to receive the cup and the captain of
22:31
the team holds it high for the crowd to see
22:33
and they roar with delight. Then each team member receives
22:38
a golden medal that they get to take home with them. Wow,
22:43
your very own golden medal. You all head back to
22:49
the locker room to get changed and to go to
22:53
the aftermatch party.
22:55
Speaker 2: So for just a little while.
22:57
Speaker 1: You get to hang out with Jake and his teammates.
23:00
You get to talk to all the other players, the manager,
23:03
the coach, and best of a lull. You and Jake
23:08
get to eat as much as you want, especially the cakes,
23:12
the sweet and the ice creams. So go and have
23:16
some fun at the party, chatter.
23:19
Speaker 4: Anyone you want, and relive the glory.
24:04
Speaker 2: No, now that the.
25:29
Speaker 1: Party is coming to an end, it's time for you
25:33
to return home. So you talk to Jake and you
25:39
thank him for letting you play on his team.
25:42
Speaker 2: You are so happy to have met Jake.
25:45
Speaker 1: He is a wonderful, kind and loving little boy. He's
25:50
also a very very good football player, and you just
25:55
know that the two of you will be best friends forever.
26:03
Jake tells you that any time you want, you can
26:07
come back and play football with all of them. After all,
26:13
you too assisted in scoring the winning goal, didn't you.
26:18
You say goodbye to Jake and the rest of the
26:20
players and start your journey back home. And pretty soon
26:27
you are back in your own room and you are
26:31
absolutely exhausted, and let's be fair, you have had a
26:36
very busy day. You put on your pajamas and climb
26:42
into your own bed, and you think about Jake and
26:47
how amazing he is. He is the best football player
26:51
you have seen, and he is your friend. You close
26:59
your weary eyes and settle down, and you take a
27:04
deep breath in through your nose and gently blow it
27:10
out from your mouth. You take another deep breath and
27:20
gently blow it out from your mouth. And it's now
27:27
that you feel a gentle wave of sleepiness starting at
27:31
your feet, and you can feel your toes going to sleep,
27:37
and it feels all warm and tingling and ever so soft.
27:43
And you feel the soothing, gentle wave of sleepiness coming
27:47
up your calves and your shins, and you can feel
27:52
it going all the way up your thighs, and you
27:55
think your legs have already gone to sleep. You feel
28:00
so tired now, so sleepy, but so very happy. You
28:06
don't want to open your eyes now, You just want
28:08
to rest them. This beautiful wave of sleepiness travels all
28:15
the way up your body, down your arms, and then
28:21
into your hands, making your body feel very very heavy,
28:29
very very tired, and very very sleepy. This gentle, warm
28:38
wave of sleepiness travels up your face and over the
28:43
top of your head, and then down the back of
28:46
your neck. Oh, you feel so tired, now, so sleepy.
28:54
You give a big yawn. You feel so very peaceful now,
29:00
so relaxed, so relaxed, and so very very sleepy. You
29:10
just want to sleep. So you drift off into a
29:16
peaceful night's sleep, dreaming.
29:19
Speaker 2: Of Jake and the Growly Bears.
29:23
Speaker 1: And remember, you are safe, you are loved, and you
29:30
are protected.
29:33
Speaker 2: Always.
29:39
Speaker 1: Now imagine yourself standing on a beautiful beach filled with
29:43
golden sand, and the sun is shining, and there's not
29:47
one single cloud in the sky. The sky is an
29:51
amazing blue color. It's so wonderful. Then it looks like
29:56
it's alive, so alive that you'd all reach out and
30:00
touch it. Almost so alive that you can feel the vibrations,
30:08
just almost feel them. And if you look closely enough,
30:13
maybe you can see the shimmering vibrations as they move
30:16
slowly and gently through the sky. You turn your attention
30:23
to the ocean and see the movement of the waves
30:26
as they gently come up to the shore. The sun
30:31
shines so brightly on the surface of the water that
30:34
it looks like it's.
30:35
Speaker 2: Glistening with starlight. And as you look at it.
30:38
Speaker 1: You find yourself feeling so peaceful, so calm, and you
30:44
imagine what it would feel like to just float on
30:48
the water and let the waves gently take you to
30:52
wherever you need to be. It's then that you notice
30:58
something moving amongst the waves, and you see a little
31:02
head just bobbing up and down. You're not sure what
31:05
it is at first, but then you realize it's a turtle,
31:10
and the little turtle is swimming your way. The little
31:15
turtle comes out of the ocean and onto the sand,
31:19
and he has the most amazing smile on his tiny face.
31:23
He looks so happy that you find yourself smiling back
31:26
at him. He comes up alongside of you, and he
31:30
says aloud, and he tells you that his name is Teddy.
31:34
He is extremely cute, and he looks ever so cuddy,
31:38
and he can stand on his back legs, and he
31:42
has little turtle flippers, big brown twinkling eyes, funny little nose,
31:49
and the sweetest smile on his tiny face. You say
31:54
hello to him and tell him your name, and you
31:56
are so very pleased to meet him. Teddy tells you
32:01
that he has a little cave. He likes to have
32:03
a sleepover him. Sometimes. He tells you that it's just
32:08
behind the tropical trees at the edge.
32:09
Speaker 2: Of the sand.
32:12
Speaker 1: Teddy asks you if you would like to stay and
32:14
play with him to day. He asks you if you
32:18
would like to have a sleepover in his cave. Wow.
32:23
He tells you that it has all more cons too.
32:26
It's not just a cave with no windows and no
32:29
proper floor you know. Oh no, only the best for Teddy.
32:33
His cave has carpets and fluffy rugs to It has
32:38
everything he needs to be comfortable and warm, and he
32:42
tells you he even has nice candles that make his
32:46
cave smell ever so nice. So you tell him that
32:52
you would love to spend the day with him, and
32:54
would love it even more to be able to stay
32:57
in his little cave. So the two of you set
33:02
off across the sand to Teddy's cave, and just as
33:06
you reach the opening to Teddy's cave, you notice that
33:10
there is a volleyball chord just outside it. Teddy sees
33:15
you're looking, and he asks you if you would like
33:17
to play a game of volleyball with him. He says
33:20
it's his favorite game of all time. Oh yes, please,
33:24
you say, so you both get ready to play and
33:29
when you begin, you wonder, how, how, just how will
33:35
Teddy be able to get the ball over the net, because,
33:38
after all, Teddy is well, he's a bit small with
33:42
tiny flippers. You look over at Teddy and you see
33:47
and he's attaching something made.
33:49
Speaker 2: Of wood to his back legs. It stilts.
33:54
Speaker 1: He's fastening stilts to his legs, and when he stands up,
33:58
he's now the same eyes you, oh wow. Just as
34:05
Teddy is walking towards you, you both hear a rustle
34:09
from the trees, and out pops a very beautiful gray
34:12
donkey and a rather large black and white ostriche. Teddy
34:18
looks delighted and has a very happy smile on his face. Hello,
34:26
he says to the two newcomers. Teddy tells you that
34:30
they are his very best friends. The beautiful gray donkey
34:35
is called Josephine and she has the most amazing big
34:39
blue eyes, which is really very unusual as.
34:45
Speaker 2: Donkeys have big brown eyes.
34:48
Speaker 1: And the black and white ostriche is called Henrietta, and
34:51
she is very tall. They both say hello to you,
34:56
and how nice it is to meet you. They tell
34:59
Teddy today have come to play too. So the four
35:04
of you begin your game of volleyball. So for a
35:08
few moments, just have fun playing volleyball with Teddy, Josephine,
35:15
and Henrietta and maybe get to know them better.
36:13
Speaker 5: To few, that was a good game.
37:30
Speaker 2: Who won?
37:34
Speaker 1: You are all feeling a little bit tired now and
37:37
need a rest because you've had a very exciting and
37:41
very energetic game. Teddy invites you all into his cave
37:47
to have some cold drinks and some cakes and some sweet.
37:51
Speaker 2: Teddy's cave is wonderful.
37:54
Speaker 1: There's a lot of toys and games to play with.
38:00
It has big soft bean bags for seats, lots of them, which,
38:04
by the way, are very comfortable. Teddy says that he
38:10
uses his to sleep on as he doesn't need a bed,
38:14
and you think that is a very good idea. As
38:16
you sink down into your lovely soft bean bag, the
38:21
little Happy Turtle tells you that when you woke up
38:24
this morning, you didn't think what a wonderful day you
38:28
were going to have. You woke up to a beautiful
38:32
day of life, a life that holds adventure and many
38:36
surprises and new friends. You think to yourself, how very
38:43
thankful you are that you simply woke up and had
38:47
the opportunity to experience this wonderful day, and you feel
38:51
so very blessed. You also learned things to day, like
38:57
how to play volleyball with a turtle on stilts. A
39:02
turtle on stilts, Now that was fun. Teddy tells you
39:10
that he is grateful for all life's lessons, pig and small.
39:14
He tells you that he learned something new every single day.
39:20
Then he does a happy little dance and it makes
39:24
you feel all the happiness in your own heart. He
39:28
tells you that every day he says thank you out loud.
39:33
In fact, he says it lots of times during the day,
39:38
especially when he feels happy and grateful for his life.
39:44
You realize that you too have many things to be
39:48
grateful and happy for, your family, your friends, the animals
39:54
that you love, the trees and how they move gently
39:59
in the breeze. So many things to be grateful for,
40:04
the big things and especially the small things, and you're
40:10
very thankful for this. Teddy does another little happy dance,
40:16
and that.
40:16
Speaker 2: Makes you giggle.
40:19
Speaker 1: Teddy reminds you that all of these people they love
40:22
you just exactly the way you are, and you feel
40:28
so good in your heart knowing that you are loved
40:32
and cared for very very much. Teddy looks so happy
40:39
that you are all here.
40:40
Speaker 5: With him, and he's.
40:42
Speaker 2: Just loving it.
40:44
Speaker 1: But now it's time for everyone to go to bed,
40:48
because what you didn't realize was that while you were
40:52
all chatting and drinking your cold drinks and eating your
40:56
cakes and your sweets, the sun has set and it's
41:00
now dark outside, but not too dark, as the stars
41:04
are shining and twinkling very brightly in the night sky.
41:11
Josephine and Henrietta have also decided that they too are
41:16
going to join in your sleepover with Teddy. So you
41:20
all settle down on your big, squashy bean bags, and
41:25
you think to yourself that life is so much better
41:30
when we take time to be grateful for all that
41:32
we have and for all for the wonderful moments we
41:36
experience in our lives. You lean back in your comfy
41:41
bean bag and close your eyes for just a little bit,
41:47
and even though your eyes are closed, you still smile
41:52
to yourself, feeling so peaceful and calm.
41:56
Speaker 2: So relaxed.
41:59
Speaker 1: And as you sink deeper and deeper into your comfy
42:03
bean bag, you say good night to Teddy and to
42:08
Josephine and to Henrietta, your new friends. You take a
42:14
deep sigh, relaxing even further, sinking down and down, sinking
42:24
down and down into blissful sleep, feeling so very happy.
42:32
And you take a breath and you sigh it back out,
42:37
going deeper and deeper into sleep. And your eyes feel
42:43
so heavy now, so relaxed, so peaceful and calm, but
42:51
you feel so very very happy, just like Teddy the
42:58
happy turtle.
43:00
Speaker 2: To sleep now and just rest.
43:09
Speaker 4: Now.
43:09
Speaker 1: Imagine that you are a beautiful sea horse, a bright
43:14
and shiny silver one, and you shine so brightly that
43:19
the stars think that you shine brighter than they do,
43:25
and you do. You are like a bright and shining
43:29
light for all to see. And you are a guiding
43:33
light too. You are a very magnificent and strong sea horse.
43:42
And you have a curvy, muscular tail and a beautiful
43:46
bumpy skin, and you have a nice big belly and
43:52
a tube.
43:53
Speaker 2: For a mouth.
43:56
Speaker 1: And you're surrounded by a big, spark and deep blue
44:01
ocean with many different shades of blues and greens, and
44:07
you float gently on the currents of this ocean, and
44:11
it feels so peaceful here for you. It's so nice though,
44:18
you would never want to be anywhere else but here.
44:23
This beautiful ocean is where you live your happy life
44:28
with all of your friends and your family, or your
44:32
seahorse brothers and sisters. And there are many of them.
44:40
There are lots of other colorful fish swimming nearby, and
44:44
they too are your friends. You have many friends here,
44:50
deep within this ocean. And you see your friend Seymour,
44:55
who is a friendly starfish, and you see him moving
45:00
slowly across the ocean floor. This is his top speed,
45:07
by the way. He's moving as quickly as he can
45:12
because he's on his way home now, as it's nearly
45:15
his bedtime, and it's nearly yours too. You see a
45:21
beautiful rainbow fish called George. He too is hurrying home
45:26
as well. A black and white angelfish hurries past you
45:31
with a smile on her face. She is Betty, and
45:35
she is one of your best friends. She tells you
45:39
it's time to go home now and it's nearly bedtime,
45:43
and she doesn't want to miss the hot chocolate her
45:45
mum is making for her. You see a bright orange
45:51
and black clownfish called Sebastian swimming back and forth with
45:55
a great big smile on his face, and he says
46:00
he can stay out for another ten minutes to play,
46:03
but then he too has to go home, and off
46:06
he swims. As you look around you you see a
46:12
shy plan who occasionally comes out to say hello. Her
46:18
name is Sybil, but she is very shy, and so
46:22
she scuttles back into her shell and closes the lid. Finally,
46:29
you see Frank the fabulous crab. He is a very
46:34
happy crab, but he always gets himself tangled in everything,
46:38
but he's still always very happy. In fact, you've never
46:42
known him to be not happy at all.
46:45
Speaker 4: Ever.
46:51
Speaker 1: You are surrounded in this beautiful, deep blue and green
46:55
ocean by all of your underwater friends. It's one big,
47:00
happy family and you love it so very much. You
47:05
are free here, you are very peaceful here, and most
47:11
of all, you are very very happy here. So for
47:17
just a short moment, just play with your friends, well
47:22
the ones that are still out anyway, or maybe just
47:26
have a swim around. We'll just float and drift peacefully
47:32
on the current. Now it's time for you to return
49:32
to your home to have a good night's sleep, and
49:37
you do feel very sleepy. Now you hear a voice
49:43
in the distance, and it's your seahorse mum calling for
49:48
you to come home. Now you hear other mums calling
49:52
out for their children to come home as well, because
49:57
it's everybody's bedtime. You say good night, and you swim
50:04
off home. You reach your home amongst the gently swaying
50:10
reeds and you see your family waiting for you. You
50:17
find your favorite soft green reeds and begin to settle
50:21
down with your long tail wrapped around the reeds to
50:25
keep you safe for the night. As you settle down
50:30
to rest, waves of peace and calm wash over your
50:35
entire body, and the waves begin to relax you deeper
50:41
and deeper as you sway gently. Your tail is very
50:47
secure so that you won't float off in the night.
50:52
You'll stay safely right here while you rest tonight. You
50:59
gently move with the ocean current that sways you back
51:03
and forth, and as you relax here, you feel yourself
51:10
becoming so very sleepy. You feel yourself drifting peacefully with
51:18
a soft and gentle ocean current, but still staying in
51:23
one place because your tail holds you safely. You feel
51:32
so amazing floating here, and you know you'll sleep well
51:37
tonight because your heart feels so happy, and your body
51:45
is completely calm. And as you float on gentle waves
51:51
of relaxation, your body feels heavy as you drift off
51:57
into peaceful sleep. And you feel so happy right now,
52:04
so peaceful and calm, as you go deeper and deeper
52:11
into a beautiful sleep, breathing quietly and gently. Now so peaceful,
52:21
so calm, so very safe. Good Night, little seahaws, Sweet dreams,
53:35
