- 0:05Speaker 1: get cozy and drift off together before we do, could
- 0:10Speaker 1: you please tap subscribe. By doing this small thing, you'll
- 0:14Speaker 1: let YouTube know you love what we do, which will
- 0:18Speaker 1: help us grow. Let's get ourselves cozy, snuggle down, and
- 0:23Speaker 1: I'll begin. It was a beautiful day in the middle
- 0:32Speaker 1: of nowhere, where the sun hung low in the sky,
- 0:36Speaker 1: glinting on the roof of the only building in sight,
- 0:39Speaker 1: a rollerskate diner owned by two cats by the names
- 0:43Speaker 1: of Potato and Beans. The long road that ran through
- 0:47Speaker 1: the desert valley was mostly empty, save for a few
- 0:50Speaker 1: passers by on long road trips across the country, traveling
- 0:53Speaker 1: in full cars with the roofs down, letting the warm
- 0:57Speaker 1: breeze ruffle through their fur and flapping the ears of
- 1:01Speaker 1: those with ears floppy enough to flap. In the kitchen
- 1:05Speaker 1: of the diner, Missus Pig was baking bread, and Ozzy
- 1:09Speaker 1: the Octopus was finishing off a stack of plates left
- 1:12Speaker 1: over from the lunchtime rush. As usual, he was soaking
- 1:15Speaker 1: in the bubbly water as he washed with a sponge
- 1:18Speaker 1: in each tentacle. His favorite rock music was blaring from
- 1:23Speaker 1: the radio, and he was bopping his head in time
- 1:26Speaker 1: to the music. As he polished a particularly shiny glass,
- 1:32Speaker 1: he saw something glint in the water beneath him. He
- 1:36Speaker 1: put down his sponges and the crockery he was holding
- 1:39Speaker 1: and looked closer. In between the fluffy clouds of bubbles,
- 1:44Speaker 1: there was something shiny bobbing on the bottom of the sink.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Ozzie tried to pick it up, but every time he
- 1:52Speaker 1: nearly had it, it would bob away to hide in
- 1:55Speaker 1: another corner. His tentacles were too soapy and slippery. Ozzie
- 2:00Speaker 1: scratched his head. He thought maybe it was best to
- 2:05Speaker 1: empty the sink to recover whatever this shiny trinket was,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and reached into the depths of the water to yank
- 2:12Speaker 1: out the rubber plug from the drain. As the bubbles
- 2:16Speaker 1: began to swirl and whirl down the drain, he caught
- 2:19Speaker 1: a glimpse of the object. It was a shiny diamond ring.
- 2:25Speaker 1: As soon as he saw it, he was gone, swept
- 2:28Speaker 1: away into the whirlpool leading down the drain. Ozzie gulped
- 2:32Speaker 1: and yelped and tried to catch it, but it was
- 2:34Speaker 1: no good. The ring was gone. He sighed and rolled
- 2:39Speaker 1: his eyes. There was no option for him. He had
- 2:43Speaker 1: to follow it. Did you know octopuses can squeeze into
- 2:49Speaker 1: the tiniest of places. They can contort their tentacles, breathe
- 2:54Speaker 1: in and disappear into the tiniest of holes on the
- 2:58Speaker 1: ocean floor. This came in handy in times like this.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Ozzie took a breath in, lined up his tentacles, and
- 3:07Speaker 1: wriggled and squeezed into the plug hole along with all
- 3:12Speaker 1: the water. He slipped and slid down the maze of pipes,
- 3:16Speaker 1: giggling and whooping as he went. It was like a
- 3:20Speaker 1: water park down there, drops and twists and loop the loops,
- 3:25Speaker 1: bends and shoots and curly whirlies. He went down, down, down,
- 3:32Speaker 1: until eventually he flew out of the last pipe to
- 3:36Speaker 1: splash into the bobbing river below. Ozzie looked all around him.
- 3:43Speaker 1: He seemed to be in some kind of underground tunnel,
- 3:46Speaker 1: swimming on a lazy river. Ahead down behind, the river
- 3:51Speaker 1: split into different passageways heading goodness knows where. Ozzie scratched
- 3:57Speaker 1: his head with one of his tentacles. How would he
- 4:01Speaker 1: possibly know which way the ring went? A small voice
- 4:06Speaker 1: called from one of the concrete river banks. Are you
- 4:10Speaker 1: looking for something? The voice asked, I haven't seen you
- 4:15Speaker 1: down here before. Ozzy spun in a whirlpool and turned
- 4:20Speaker 1: to find the source of the voice. Her little mouse,
- 4:24Speaker 1: with a dainty pink nose and soft white fur, was
- 4:28Speaker 1: peering down at him from the dry bank. Ozzie smiled
- 4:32Speaker 1: at her with his most dazzling smile here, he said,
- 4:37Speaker 1: I'm looking for something that slipped down my plug hole.
- 4:41Speaker 1: It's a ring, a real shiny one. The mouse smiled
- 4:47Speaker 1: and blushed as Ozzie kept grinning at her. I think
- 4:51Speaker 1: I know where it went, she said. A shiny object
- 4:56Speaker 1: came shooting out of that chute not long before you did.
- 5:00Speaker 1: It landed with a splash, right next to a bathing otter.
- 5:05Speaker 1: The otter dove after it and found it on the
- 5:08Speaker 1: river bed before bursting back up. He was thrilled. He said,
- 5:13Speaker 1: his wife would absolutely love the ring. I think he
- 5:17Speaker 1: must have gone to give it to her. Ozzie frowned,
- 5:21Speaker 1: crinkling his smooth, coral colored forehead. He was a sucker
- 5:26Speaker 1: for romance, but he couldn't let the otters keep a
- 5:30Speaker 1: ring that wasn't theirs. The ring probably already had its
- 5:34Speaker 1: own love story, and some one would be missing it.
- 5:38Speaker 1: He asked the little mouse if she knew where the
- 5:41Speaker 1: otter was headed, and she twitched her nose and nodded.
- 5:46Speaker 1: He's a sea otter, she said, and there's only one
- 5:49Speaker 1: tunnel that leads to the sea. That one. She pointed
- 5:54Speaker 1: a pore at the largest branch of the river, where
- 5:57Speaker 1: a painted wooden sign pointed towards the ocean. Other arrows
- 6:02Speaker 1: on the sign pointed to various other tunnels, each labeled
- 6:06Speaker 1: with their own destination, the Niagara Falls, Lake Michigan, and
- 6:11Speaker 1: the Mississippi. One glowing tunnel was even labeled the Lost
- 6:18Speaker 1: Kingdom of Atlantis. Ozzie raised his eyebrows. He had no
- 6:23Speaker 1: idea how many places you could reach through the plug hole.
- 6:28Speaker 1: He had spent many hours perusing where his dishwater went
- 6:32Speaker 1: after he let its stream out of his sink, but
- 6:34Speaker 1: he'd never imagined it might have streamed its way to
- 6:38Speaker 1: the Mississippi, let alone an underwater kingdom. Ozzie bid a
- 6:44Speaker 1: farewell to the little mouse and swam towards the sea.
- 6:49Speaker 1: The tunnel led downwards until the whole thing was submerged.
- 6:53Speaker 1: In clear, twinkling, sparkling salty water. Ozzie. He swam down, down, down,
- 7:04Speaker 1: until the tunnel ended and he emerged into the sea.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Beneath him a sandy plain stretched as far as the
- 7:13Speaker 1: eye could see, dotted with swaying seaweed and twisted multi
- 7:18Speaker 1: colored coral. Wrigly and enemies of green, orange, and purple
- 7:23Speaker 1: grew between the coral and tropical fish darted here, there,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and everywhere. Above him was the ocean. It was quite
- 7:34Speaker 1: shallow here, so Ozzi suspected he wasn't too far from
- 7:38Speaker 1: the shore. He saw bigger fish ahead, with lazily swimming
- 7:43Speaker 1: sea turtles, a snoozing whale, and one slinky, acrobatic seal.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Ozzy was here to see the otters, and he knew
- 7:54Speaker 1: he mustn't forget his mission. But he saw no harm
- 7:58Speaker 1: in enjoying the ocean for a while whilst he found
- 8:01Speaker 1: himself deep within it. He stretched out his tentacles. He
- 8:07Speaker 1: had been above land for a while now, and he
- 8:10Speaker 1: loved nothing more than zooming around on his roller skates.
- 8:15Speaker 1: But it was nice to float weightlessly in the sea
- 8:18Speaker 1: once in a while. As he stretched his eight legs
- 8:24Speaker 1: and squeezed them together, sending him shooting through the water
- 8:29Speaker 1: like a balloon through the sky, inflating and deflating with
- 8:34Speaker 1: every movement. He popped the air bubbles that floated past
- 8:39Speaker 1: him with a lazy flick of the tentacle, and watched
- 8:43Speaker 1: the sun streaming through the water above him, warming his
- 8:47Speaker 1: skin as it trickled down to the sea bed. He wished,
- 8:52Speaker 1: how do you do to slowly flapping stingrays, and raced
- 8:57Speaker 1: alongside hurried sea horses. As Ozzie caught his breath, lazing
- 9:03Speaker 1: on a rock and using some vacant seashells as castanets,
- 9:08Speaker 1: he saw something in the distance towards the surface, heading
- 9:12Speaker 1: in his direction. It looked like a kite or a balloon,
- 9:18Speaker 1: but instead of drifting here and there, he was swimming
- 9:23Speaker 1: purposefully in his direction. It swam so quickly that Ozzie
- 9:29Speaker 1: barely had time to make out what it was before
- 9:31Speaker 1: it landed on his rock, nearly knocking him off with
- 9:35Speaker 1: its sudden landing. Ozzie steadied himself and took in the
- 9:40Speaker 1: creature that had come his way. Here was a squid,
- 9:44Speaker 1: but not an ordinary squid, a giant one almost twice
- 9:50Speaker 1: the size of Ozzie. She had huge sparkling eyes and
- 9:56Speaker 1: her ballet slipper pink skin shone with a purlesson gleam.
- 10:02Speaker 1: The squid smiled pleasantly at Ozzy and bid him a hi.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Ozzie said hello, and the two of them sat quietly
- 10:12Speaker 1: on the rock for a while as a shimmering school
- 10:15Speaker 1: of sardines swam by. I'm Ozzy, Ozzie said, I'm a
- 10:22Speaker 1: roller scating dishwasher from Potato and Beans diner. The squid smiled.
- 10:29Speaker 1: I'm Pearl, she said, a swimming, squelching squid from the
- 10:36Speaker 1: big Blue sea. What on earth are you doing here, Ozzy.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Ozzie told Pearl about the missing ring, and she nodded
- 10:46Speaker 1: at him wide eyed. I've seen it, she said. Old
- 10:53Speaker 1: fury Tad swam through him not long ago, clutching a
- 10:58Speaker 1: shiny ring in his poor He said he was going
- 11:03Speaker 1: to give it to his wife, Edy. I was thrilled,
- 11:07Speaker 1: as Edy's such a lovely sea otter. She deserves a tree.
- 11:12Speaker 1: In fact, just last week she helped me out when
- 11:16Speaker 1: I got all tangled up in seaweed, and she didn't
- 11:20Speaker 1: laugh at me once, even though I must have looked
- 11:23Speaker 1: pretty funny. Ozzie asked whether she knew where Edy and
- 11:27Speaker 1: Ted lived, and Pearl nodded her head. She crossed her
- 11:31Speaker 1: front two tentacles and put a stern look on her face.
- 11:36Speaker 1: She wasn't used to being stern, and she had no
- 11:38Speaker 1: eyebrows to furrow. But Ozzie understood her intent. Hmm, you
- 11:44Speaker 1: can't take the ring from Edie and leave her with nothing,
- 11:48Speaker 1: though Pearl said, it's not polite, it's not her fault.
- 11:54Speaker 1: The ring was floating towards the ocean. Mozzy thought this
- 11:59Speaker 1: was real reasonable. Ted found the ring and deserved some
- 12:03Speaker 1: kind of reward anyway, What do you think I could
- 12:08Speaker 1: give them in exchange? Pearl? As he spoke the giant
- 12:12Speaker 1: squid's name, the answer to his question appeared in his mind.
- 12:17Speaker 1: A new ring, of course, And what better ring for
- 12:21Speaker 1: a sea otter than one studded with a bright, shiny pearl. Ah, Pearl,
- 12:30Speaker 1: where do pearls come from, Ozzie asked. Pearl laughed, well, Izzy,
- 12:39Speaker 1: you'd have to ask my friend Shelley about there. She's
- 12:45Speaker 1: an oyster. Pearls are made by oysters. They often keeping
- 12:51Speaker 1: tucked away in their shells for safe keeping. Without another word,
- 12:57Speaker 1: Pearl rocketed off into the ocean, and Ozzy sprang off
- 13:01Speaker 1: after her, wishing he had his rollerskates to speed him up.
- 13:05Speaker 1: This squid could swim fast. The squid and the octopus
- 13:11Speaker 1: swam side by side for a mile or two, ducking
- 13:14Speaker 1: through caves and slinking through seaweed, dodging their way through
- 13:20Speaker 1: a gaggle of jellyfish, and giggling endlessly. Pearl came to
- 13:25Speaker 1: a sudden and abrupt stop next to a particularly vibrant
- 13:29Speaker 1: orange coral, and Ozzy barreled on into the current for
- 13:34Speaker 1: another ten meters before he himself could slow down. She
- 13:38Speaker 1: chuckled as he swam back to join her. This is Shelly,
- 13:44Speaker 1: she said, pointing at a knobbly gray stone the size
- 13:47Speaker 1: of her hand. As Ozzie looked closer, the stone sprung open,
- 13:53Speaker 1: revealing itself as an oyster shell with a shiny silver
- 13:57Speaker 1: inside and a blobby pink cister calling hello. Shelley greeted
- 14:04Speaker 1: the two keflopods and made some polite small talk about
- 14:08Speaker 1: what a beautiful day it was out here in the
- 14:10Speaker 1: big blue Ozzie and Pearl agreed with her and complimented
- 14:16Speaker 1: how the sunlight danced on the metallic sheen of the inside.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Of her shell. Pearl told Shelley about the missing ring
- 14:25Speaker 1: and explained that they would like to replace Edie's newfound
- 14:28Speaker 1: accessory with a pearl ring instead, which wouldn't be missed
- 14:32Speaker 1: by its owner. Shelley laughed and said, of course, flipping
- 14:38Speaker 1: a shiny, milky colored pearl their way. She had an
- 14:41Speaker 1: abundance of them. Shelley asked how they were going to
- 14:46Speaker 1: turn the pearl into a ring pretty enough to rival
- 14:49Speaker 1: the one that had come from the diner, and Ozzy
- 14:52Speaker 1: scratched his head. He hadn't thought that far yet. Shelley
- 14:57Speaker 1: told Pearl and Ozzy that there there was a creature
- 15:00Speaker 1: that could help them. Had they ever heard of a manatee?
- 15:05Speaker 1: Ozzie nodded his head. Recently, a friendly gaiter had stopped
- 15:10Speaker 1: off at the diner whist on a long road trip
- 15:12Speaker 1: to hear there and everywhere. The gator had come from
- 15:16Speaker 1: Louisiana and had recounted lazy evenings on the marina watching
- 15:22Speaker 1: the round, gray blobs of manatees float happily in the water.
- 15:27Speaker 1: They were often called sea cows, the gat said, since
- 15:31Speaker 1: they spend their days munching on sea grass and lazing
- 15:35Speaker 1: around in the water. They looked kind of like cows too,
- 15:39Speaker 1: with rounded snouts and rotund bellies. Shelley told them that
- 15:45Speaker 1: manatees are very skilled at making jewelry, so good, in fact,
- 15:51Speaker 1: that when they sunbathed on the rocks above the water,
- 15:54Speaker 1: wearing their shiny necklaces, they looked so beautiful that sea
- 15:59Speaker 1: exploring Hue humans thought they were mermaids when peering through
- 16:03Speaker 1: their binoculars at them from their ships. So the octopus
- 16:07Speaker 1: and the squid thanked the oyster and took off through
- 16:11Speaker 1: the ocean in search of a manatee. With the pearl
- 16:14Speaker 1: safely suctioned to one of ozzie suckers, they headed towards
- 16:20Speaker 1: the shore, up near the surface, where there could have
- 16:23Speaker 1: been some manatees snoozing in the sunshine. Before long, they
- 16:29Speaker 1: were nearing the coastline, and they floated upwards to poke
- 16:32Speaker 1: their heads above the surface. Immediately, on one of the
- 16:38Speaker 1: rocks in the distance, Pearls spotted a large gray splodge
- 16:43Speaker 1: and cooed out a cooye to catch the creature's attention.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Are you a man a tea? She called? The splodge
- 16:54Speaker 1: looked up to reveal the big brown eyes and cute
- 16:57Speaker 1: stub nose of a seal. He slowly shook his head
- 17:02Speaker 1: and pointed a fin out to his right. Following the
- 17:06Speaker 1: point of his fin, Ozzie and Pearl spun slowly to
- 17:10Speaker 1: see another splodge on another rock, and this one had
- 17:14Speaker 1: the snuffling snout and little beady eyes of a manateee.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Pearl whooped and dived back into the water to rock
- 17:23Speaker 1: it her way over to the manatee's sunbathing spot. Ozzie
- 17:28Speaker 1: rolled his eyes, giggled, and followed her at the closest
- 17:32Speaker 1: pace he could to her rocketing swim. Looking up from
- 17:37Speaker 1: the water, the manateee seemed huge, but she had the
- 17:41Speaker 1: kindest little smile of perhaps any animal Ozzie had ever seen.
- 17:47Speaker 1: She was wearing little round glasses, which she pushed down
- 17:51Speaker 1: her snout to better see her two visitors. She had
- 17:55Speaker 1: a little tool box balanced on the rock to her left,
- 17:59Speaker 1: and in her flippers with some beautiful tangle of wire
- 18:03Speaker 1: threaded with glistening glass beads. Hello, my DearS, the manatee said,
- 18:12Speaker 1: what can I do for you? Ozzie used his suckers
- 18:17Speaker 1: to hoist himself up on the rock and shook hands
- 18:21Speaker 1: with the lady Pearl. Remained in the water, but reached
- 18:26Speaker 1: up a long pink tentacle and waggled the manatees hand
- 18:29Speaker 1: in greeting. We've heard that manatees are skilled jewelers, Pearl said,
- 18:38Speaker 1: and we're seeking a skilled jeweler. Ozzie explained their conundrum
- 18:44Speaker 1: with the lost ring, presenting their shiny pearl and asking
- 18:49Speaker 1: the manatee if she could pretty please possibly consider making
- 18:52Speaker 1: them a ring. Edie will really appreciate it, Pearl added,
- 18:59Speaker 1: as she it was really nice. The manateee chuckled and said,
- 19:04Speaker 1: of course she would help them. It would be her
- 19:07Speaker 1: pleasure and it would be ready in a jiffy. The
- 19:12Speaker 1: manateee pushed up her glasses and pulled out a new
- 19:16Speaker 1: roll of wire, winding it around the pearl and bending
- 19:20Speaker 1: it into beautiful weaving patterns before cutting it from the
- 19:24Speaker 1: spool with a decisive snip. She handed it to Pearl
- 19:29Speaker 1: and Ozzy, who marveled at it, complimenting the man tee
- 19:33Speaker 1: on her talent. The manateee dismissed their praise with a
- 19:37Speaker 1: flip of the flipper and wished them well on their mission.
- 19:42Speaker 1: With final thank yous, Pearl and Ossie slipped back down
- 19:46Speaker 1: into the ocean. It was time to head to Ted
- 19:51Speaker 1: and Edy's place to retrieve the ring. Pearl took the lead,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and Ozzie swam along in her wake, humming to himself
- 20:00Speaker 1: as he went, Now well accustomed to swimming competitively against
- 20:05Speaker 1: the sea's current, Pearl led them along the rocky coastline
- 20:11Speaker 1: to an isolated craggy cove bordered by rock pools and
- 20:16Speaker 1: palm trees. Here in the shallows, Ted and Edy, the
- 20:21Speaker 1: two loved up sea utters, were floating on their backs,
- 20:25Speaker 1: poor and poor, as the sun glinted off the ring
- 20:29Speaker 1: on Edy's finger. Ozzie sidled up next to them and
- 20:34Speaker 1: called out a sheepish hello, trying not to startle the
- 20:38Speaker 1: bathing otters. Ted and Edy opened one eye each and
- 20:43Speaker 1: bathe the octopus hello, Flipping lazily over onto their stomachs
- 20:49Speaker 1: to better see him. Ozzie introduced himself and apologized for
- 20:55Speaker 1: disturbing their sunny snooze of the day, sliding down chutes,
- 21:03Speaker 1: bobbing in the rivers, rocketing through the ocean, and bobbing
- 21:07Speaker 1: along the shoreline in pursuit of that ring on your finger. Edie,
- 21:12Speaker 1: I hope you don't mind, but I think it belongs
- 21:16Speaker 1: to a customer of mine, all the way back at
- 21:19Speaker 1: Potato and Beans's diner on a long desert road in
- 21:23Speaker 1: the beginning of Nowhere. Ted and Edy blushed and handed
- 21:28Speaker 1: the ring immediately to Ozzy. Why things in the ocean
- 21:34Speaker 1: are barely ever found? Ted said, I thought there was
- 21:40Speaker 1: no way we could find its owner. We didn't count
- 21:44Speaker 1: on an adventure as octopus like you to follow it
- 21:48Speaker 1: all this way. Ozzie smiled and thanked them for returning
- 21:53Speaker 1: the ring. He said he'd brought them a reward in
- 21:56Speaker 1: its place, and placed the pearl ring in Edy's open palm.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Edy gasped and her eyes welled up with happy tears.
- 22:09Speaker 1: It's beautiful, she said, an ocean made ring especially for me.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Thank you, Oozsie. Pearl bobbed up behind Ozzy with a grin.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Edy giggled, I should have known you'd be involved in
- 22:31Speaker 1: this somehow, Pearl, Thank you. Ted beamed at the two
- 22:37Speaker 1: of them and wrapped them in a hug. He said
- 22:42Speaker 1: it was even better than the ring he had found,
- 22:46Speaker 1: and now Ozzie was going to return it to its
- 22:48Speaker 1: rightful owner. Everybody could be happy. The animals hugged and
- 22:55Speaker 1: Ozzie wished them a farewell. This time I get back
- 22:59Speaker 1: to the douk, he said, it's almost time for the
- 23:03Speaker 1: dinner rush. Pearl swam Ozzie back to the pipe and
- 23:08Speaker 1: gave him a hug. Ozzie told her to please visit
- 23:12Speaker 1: the diner anytime. He said he'd love for her to
- 23:16Speaker 1: meet his friends, Potato Beans and Missus Pig, and promised
- 23:21Speaker 1: they'd make her the best lunch she had ever tasted.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Pearl nodded and promised she would visit. With one last wave,
- 23:32Speaker 1: Ozzy swam back into the pipe and up to the
- 23:35Speaker 1: underground river. He climbed up shoot after shoot and squeezed
- 23:41Speaker 1: once more through the plug hole to emerge in the
- 23:45Speaker 1: warm glow of the kitchen of Potato and Beans diner.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Missus Pig was no longer at her station stirring pots
- 23:54Speaker 1: and flipping pancakes. Ozzie dried himself off with a warm,
- 24:00Speaker 1: fuzzy tea towel, tied one of his eight skates onto
- 24:03Speaker 1: each of his eight tentacles, and glided through the door
- 24:07Speaker 1: to the diner. There, two kind cats and one cuddly
- 24:13Speaker 1: pig were comforting a weepy customer. The customer had a
- 24:17Speaker 1: poofy bonnet on her head and diamonte studdied glasses on
- 24:22Speaker 1: her snout. She was wrapped up in a light, multi
- 24:26Speaker 1: colored shawl and had little high heels on her feet.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Ozzie recognized her immediately. It was Agnes, the road tripping
- 24:36Speaker 1: gaiter Beans looked up and smiled a little smile at Ozzy. Few,
- 24:44Speaker 1: there you are, she said. We were beginning to worry
- 24:49Speaker 1: poor Agnes here has lost her ring. She can't find
- 24:54Speaker 1: it anywhere, and she's leaving town tomorrow. Ozzie said nothing,
- 25:01Speaker 1: but opened his tentacle to reveal the sparkling diamond ring.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Agnes squealed and threw her arms around Ozzie, thanking him
- 25:12Speaker 1: for returning her ring. He wasn't just me, Ozzie said.
- 25:19Speaker 1: It was a mouse, an oyster, a man of tee,
- 25:23Speaker 1: a giant squid, and two friendly otters too. The cats
- 25:29Speaker 1: and Missus pigg looked at him with befuddlement, but didn't
- 25:34Speaker 1: want to interrupt Agnes's happiness with too many questions. Well,
- 25:40Speaker 1: I know just how to celebrate, Potato said, Hot chocolates
- 25:45Speaker 1: all round with cream and sprinkles. Ozzie spent the rest
- 25:51Speaker 1: of the afternoon sipping on yummy hot chocolate with his
- 25:56Speaker 1: best friends and resting his tired tentag cause before climbing
- 26:02Speaker 1: back into his bubbly sink, ready for the evening rush.
- 26:08Speaker 1: At night, he slept better than he had ever slept before,
- 26:14Speaker 1: dreaming of the endless ocean, sparkling rings, and a giant
- 26:21Speaker 1: squid named Pearl. Now we are sailing into a soft
- 26:28Speaker 1: and peaceful sleep. Feel the soft and cozy support of
- 26:35Speaker 1: your bed. Feel the way your body, heavy and happy
- 26:43Speaker 1: with sleepiness, is being carried upon it. It is as
- 26:50Speaker 1: though you are being carried on gentle ocean currents, on
- 26:56Speaker 1: the rising and falling of waves. Feel how they are
- 27:02Speaker 1: lapping gently beneath you, bearing you into the land of sleep.
- 27:14Speaker 1: These waves carrying you are deep and gently, like our breath.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Breathe with the waves. Breathe in and in and out
- 27:34Speaker 1: they go in and out, in.
- 27:45Speaker 2: And out.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Close your eyes. Let your eyelids be heavy. Let your
- 28:00Speaker 1: body relaxed as you sail into sleep. Feel your arms
- 28:11Speaker 1: soft and heavy, and your legs and feet soft and
- 28:20Speaker 1: heavy too. Let's pay some gentle attention to how our
- 28:30Speaker 1: bodies are feeling. Keep your eyes closed, and that your
- 28:39Speaker 1: mind come unhooked from your head. Your mind is a
- 28:47Speaker 1: magical thing. It can stay inside your head, or it
- 28:53Speaker 1: can travel all around your body, like a little person
- 28:58Speaker 1: wandering around a house to check that all is well.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Let your mind travel first to your breath. Feel the
- 29:12Speaker 1: breath moving through your nose. Feel the breath moving into
- 29:20Speaker 1: your chest or into your tummy, making it rise and fall,
- 29:28Speaker 1: Rise and fall good. Just focus on your breathing. That's wonderful.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Now let your mind float down from your breath. Let
- 29:53Speaker 1: it travel down one of your arms. Feel the sensor
- 30:00Speaker 1: in your arm. Feel how it is heavy on the
- 30:06Speaker 1: bed or maybe soft tucked underneath your head as you sleep.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Let your mind travel down your fingers. First, let your
- 30:23Speaker 1: mind wander down to the tip of your thumb. Now
- 30:29Speaker 1: down your first finger, Now your middle finger, now your
- 30:40Speaker 1: ring finger, and last, but not least, your pinky. What
- 30:49Speaker 1: does it feel like at the end of your pinky.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Bring your mind back up to your breathing and bring
- 31:00Speaker 1: in and out. Breathe in and out. Now we're traveling
- 31:10Speaker 1: with our minds all the way down our other arm.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Let your mind go down each of your fingers on
- 31:22Speaker 1: that arm. First, let your mind wander down to the
- 31:30Speaker 1: tip of your thumb. Now down your first finger, now
- 31:38Speaker 1: your middle finger, now your ring finger, and now you're pinky.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Very good. Now, let your mind come back to your
- 31:55Speaker 1: chest and let it sit there, soft and right where
- 32:02Speaker 1: your heart is. If you let your mind rest there,
- 32:09Speaker 1: you will even be able to feel the gentle beating
- 32:14Speaker 1: of your heart. Do you know what your heart says
- 32:19Speaker 1: as it's beating, It says, I love, I love, I love.
- 32:29Speaker 1: That's what everyone's heart beat says, I love, I love,
- 32:37Speaker 1: I love. And as everyone's heart beat says that the
- 32:43Speaker 1: world fills up with love, the world fills up with
- 32:49Speaker 1: each heartbeat like a lake filling up with the raindrops
- 32:55Speaker 1: that fall from the sky. Lake of love can never
- 33:02Speaker 1: be too full, and it can never be empty. The
- 33:08Speaker 1: whole world is full of love. You are loved. Your
- 33:16Speaker 1: family love you, Your friends love you. People all across
- 33:23Speaker 1: the world love you. The animals in the fields, and
- 33:28Speaker 1: the birds in the trees, and even the trees themselves.
- 33:34Speaker 1: They all love you too, and we love them back.
- 33:41Speaker 1: That is the beautiful thing about love. You can never
- 33:46Speaker 1: give too much of it because it can never run out.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Love is like the water in the lake. There will
- 33:58Speaker 1: always be more of it falls from the sky like
- 34:03Speaker 1: rain and keeps us safe and happy. You are safe,
- 34:11Speaker 1: You are happy, You are loved. While you're floating through
- 34:22Speaker 1: your dreams, whisper your love to the world, Say I
- 34:28Speaker 1: love your world, and now listen out here. The world
- 34:35Speaker 1: say it back. The world is saying I love you.
- 34:44Speaker 1: The world is gentle, and you are gentle too. The
- 34:51Speaker 1: world is kind and you are kind to the world
- 35:01Speaker 1: is loved, and you are loved too. The rain loves
- 35:09Speaker 1: the ground it falls upon, and the ground loves the
- 35:13Speaker 1: grass and trees and flowers that grow up out of it,
- 35:20Speaker 1: And the grass loves the animals that walk upon it.
- 35:25Speaker 1: And so the animals love the world they wander through
- 35:29Speaker 1: because it is so beautiful. And the whole world loves you.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Fear how your body is drifting peace welly upon the
- 35:45Speaker 1: gentle lake. Let any worries that may have lingered from
- 35:52Speaker 1: the day sail away from your mind. Watch them disappear,
- 35:58Speaker 1: like a whole ghost of multi colored heathy and blooms
- 36:03Speaker 1: being released into the sky. Watch them as they go,
- 36:11Speaker 1: as they.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Soar up high, smaller and smaller, They get smaller and smaller,
- 36:22Speaker 2: until they.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Are just little specs in the sky. And then they
- 36:30Speaker 1: are gone. You are safe, you are kind. There is
- 36:41Speaker 1: nothing to worry about as you drift into sleep, because
- 36:47Speaker 1: you are drifting on the lake of love. You are safe,
- 36:59Speaker 1: you are happy, You are loved. The world is gentle,
- 37:07Speaker 1: and you are gentle too. The world is kind and
- 37:15Speaker 1: you are kind too. The world is loved, and you
- 37:23Speaker 1: are loved too. Close your eyes, Let your eyelids get heavy,
- 37:34Speaker 1: Let your limbs get heavy too. Feel your arms and
- 37:41Speaker 1: legs falling heavily into your soft and cozy bed. Feel
- 37:51Speaker 1: your chest rising and falling with your breathing, rising and
- 38:00Speaker 1: folly like the ways on the lake of love. Sleep,
- 38:08Speaker 1: little one. You are safe, you are happy, You are loved.
- 38:21Speaker 1: There is more love in this world than there are
- 38:25Speaker 1: stars in the sky. There is more kindness in this
- 38:31Speaker 1: world than there are droplets of water in the entire lake.
- 38:39Speaker 1: The world is gentle, and you are gentle too. The
- 38:47Speaker 1: world is kind and you are kind to the world
