  Speaker 1: Close your eyes and make yourself all cozy and comfortable,
• 0:33
  and take a big deep breath in through your nose
• 0:40
  and gently breathe out through your mouth. Take another, big
• 0:50
  deep breath and gently breathe out through your mouth. One
• 1:04
  more time, big deep breath, and slowly and gently breathe
• 1:13
  out through your mouth. Now bring your breathing back to
• 1:21
  its normal rhythm. Feeling your chest rise and fall gently,
• 1:30
  feeling peaceful and calm, feeling ever so relaxed. And with
• 1:39
  each breath you take, you can feel yourself becoming more
• 1:45
  and more relaxed. And you feel so peaceful now, so
• 1:54
  happy and light, and your breathing is almost still. You
• 2:00
  are so relaxed. Now, imagine yourself sitting in a large
• 2:08
  green field. The sun is shining brightly, and it's a
• 2:14
  very beautiful clear day, and you can see for miles
• 2:17
  and miles miles. How far can you see? How far
• 2:25
  can you see? You feel very calm, very relaxed, and
• 2:37
  very peaceful. And you can hear the birds singing to
• 2:41
  each other. Can you hear them? What are they saying?
• 2:54
  So just sit there, take a good look around you
• 2:58
  and see where you can see? What can you see?
• 3:06
  What can you hear. Can you see anyone else in
• 3:15
  this lovely green field? You decide to go for a
• 3:26
  little walk, and at the far end of your field
• 3:30
  is a big forest with many tall trees, and you
• 3:35
  think that would be a good place to go for
• 3:36
  a walk, so you set off, and as you get closer,
• 3:43
  you notice a pathway leading deeper into the forest, and
• 3:48
  it looks very interesting. As you walk along the path,
• 3:55
  you can hear all kinds of things. You can hear
• 4:00
  the birds flying backwards and forwards, and the trees chatting.
• 4:05
  You can hear animals scurrying about their business. You can
• 4:09
  even hear the howl of wolves as they too talk
• 4:13
  to each other, but they are much further away. What
• 4:20
  else can you hear? You can feel the crunch of
• 4:30
  leaves under your feet as you walk, and you can
• 4:34
  feel a gentle breeze on your face. And you can
• 4:37
  see the sun sparkling through the topmost branches of the trees,
• 4:42
  and it kind of looks like diamonds flashing their sparkling light.
• 4:49
  And in the distance, you can hear voices and you
• 4:53
  wonder who's talking. You can't see anyone, but you can't
• 4:58
  hear them. Can you hear them? Can you hear the
• 5:04
  sound of their voices? Suddenly you come to a small
• 5:13
  clearing in this amazing place, and the voices you heard
• 5:18
  are a lot louder now, and you can hear them clearly.
• 5:24
  So you stop and peek around a very large tree,
• 5:28
  and to your amazement, you see two fairies chatting to
• 5:33
  each other whilst they pick the beautiful wild flowers. They
• 5:38
  fly from flower to flower, and it's like watching them dance.
• 5:43
  They are so graceful, the tiny wings fluttering in the
• 5:48
  breeze as they fly. You then hear another voice. This
• 5:56
  one is a little bit deeper and a little bit
• 5:59
  louder than the other two. To your utter astonishment, you
• 6:04
  see an elf, an elf with pointy ears and glasses
• 6:10
  on and a large point he had. Oh wow, you
• 6:15
  have come across the land of the elves and the fairies.
• 6:24
  The two fairies fly over to the elf and say hello,
• 6:29
  and they all chat for a few moments, when suddenly
• 6:33
  the ELF's ears prick up and they start to twitch
• 6:36
  like a rabbit's nose. They all stop and look your way.
• 6:43
  They see you, all three of them, give you a
• 6:48
  great big smile and say.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: You'll be hiding over there, come and join us for tree.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You shyly step forward and smile at them, saying you
• 7:01
  would love to have tea with them. They tell you
• 7:05
  to follow them and they will take you to where
• 7:08
  they live. As you walk with the elf, the fairies
• 7:16
  are flying. You think they are so lucky to have wings.
• 7:22
  They ask you all about yourself, where have you come from,
• 7:27
  where do you live, how old are you, and of course,
• 7:31
  what is your name. So for a few minutes while
• 7:36
  you've walked to the home of the fairies and the elves,
• 7:39
  chat with them and ask about them too. Maybe they'll
• 7:44
  tell you a few secrets of their own.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Stream streets, stree.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Case Sta.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: The elf stops and opens a little white gate for
• 10:31
  you to step through, and suddenly it's like you've been
• 10:35
  transported to another time and place. What you see before
• 10:40
  you is so beautiful. What you see before you is
• 10:46
  an elf village, and they share it with the fairies.
• 10:55
  You walk along the main road that leads into the village.
• 11:00
  There are many shops all lit up and open for business.
• 11:05
  There are lanterns outside all of the doorways, and you
• 11:09
  take a closer look at the lanterns and see that
• 11:12
  inside them a tiny little fireflies dancing inside the glass,
• 11:19
  and they are what are giving the village all of
• 11:22
  its light. You pass a little cafe with silver tables
• 11:30
  and silver chairs outside, and sitting on the chairs are
• 11:34
  more elves and fairies, all drinking what looks like lemonade,
• 11:40
  but it's a funny green color with red floating blobs
• 11:44
  inside it. You're not sure if you would like that.
• 11:48
  I know I wouldn't. One of the shops you pass
• 11:53
  is selling wands and potions for spells. Another shop selling
• 12:00
  very large pumpkins, and yet another shop is selling freshly
• 12:05
  baked pumpkin bread and it smells delicious. You come to
• 12:15
  the end of this wonderful street and you see before
• 12:19
  you lots and lots of houses. And these houses are
• 12:25
  made from toadstools and yet more pumpkins, and they are
• 12:29
  all quite big, too big enough for you to fit
• 12:33
  inside them. Most of the houses have smoke coming out
• 12:39
  of the chimneys on the roof, and the smoke is
• 12:41
  making lovely twirling patterns in the night sky. And each
• 12:48
  house has lanterns outside them, too, again filled with dancing fireflies.
• 12:58
  You come to the end of this little road when
• 13:00
  the elf stops and says, here we are. This is
• 13:03
  my house. He takes out a very large key and
• 13:09
  opens a very squeaky door, and he says, welcome to
• 13:15
  my home, and you all step inside. Inside is the
• 13:23
  loveliest little cottage you have ever seen, even if it
• 13:28
  is made out of a large toadstock. There are big
• 13:32
  soft chairs by the fireside, and a little table in
• 13:36
  one corner to eat dinner from, and there are lots
• 13:39
  of lanterns all over the place filled with the little fireflies.
• 13:47
  The elf goes into his tiny kitchen to make the
• 13:50
  tea while you and the fairies sit down for a chat.
• 13:57
  After a little while, the elf brings in tea trolley
• 14:01
  with his best china tea set on it. He even
• 14:05
  has scones filled with strawberry jam and cream so delicious.
• 14:14
  So sit for a while and enjoy your tea and
• 14:18
  SCons with the fairies and the elf, have a chat,
• 14:24
  or just relax with them.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: M The.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Elf and the fairies are feeling rather tired.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Now after their very busy day. They tell you that
• 17:02
  they are going to have a little nap, and they
• 17:06
  also tell you that there is a spare bed for
• 17:09
  you too if you want it. You think this is
• 17:14
  a great idea, so you enter the bedroom with them
• 17:19
  and choose your bed, and you climb up onto the
• 17:25
  softest bed in the world. The quilt is so gentle
• 17:31
  and warm on your skin, and you lay your head
• 17:37
  on the big fluffy pillows and gently close your eyes.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, and you feel so relaxed, so peaceful, so calm,
• 17:54
  and you've had a very lovely day. But you feel
• 18:00
  sleepy now, so tired. And you begin to feel a
• 18:09
  gentle wave of sleepiness starting at your feet, and you
• 18:16
  can feel your toes going to sleep, and it feels
• 18:21
  all warm and tingly, ever so soft, and you feel
• 18:28
  a soothing, gentle wave of sleepiness coming up your calves
• 18:33
  and your shins. You can feel it going up into
• 18:39
  your thighs, and you think your legs have gone to sleep.
• 18:45
  While they have. Oh, you feel so very tired now,
• 18:52
  so sleepy, so happy, and it feels like you can't
• 19:00
  open your eyes, but that's okay, because you don't really
• 19:04
  want to open your eyes. And the beautiful wave of
• 19:09
  sleepiness travels all the way up your body, down your arms,
• 19:17
  and into your hands, making your body feel very very heavy,
• 19:27
  very very tired, and so very very sleepy. This gentle,
• 19:38
  warm wave of sleepiness travels up into your face, over
• 19:46
  the top of your head, and down the back of
• 19:49
  your neck. Oh, you feel so tired, so sleepy, and
• 20:00
  you feel nice and warm and snuggly under your beautiful
• 20:07
  soft quilt and very fluffy squitchy pillows. So just now,
• 20:18
  keeping your eyes closed, have a nice little naps
• 22:09
