  Speaker 1: Tonight's bedtime story is Snaffles and their Great Sockheist by
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Jillian Rogerson. Let's get cozy and drift off together before
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we do, could you please tap subscribe. By doing this
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: small thing, you'll let YouTube know you love what we do,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: which will help us grow. Let's get ourselves cozy, snuggle down,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and I'll begin. It was the start of the school
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: summer holidays. Mina and her little brother Kamal were lying
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in the garden and gazing at the sky through the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: branches of a tree. Their mother was busy chatting to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: missus Fuddle over the garden fence. Mina smiled dreamily as
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: she thought about the summer days that lay ahead. They
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: can never end in quilt of adventure. Because she was
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the oldest, Mina decided to take charge of the holiday
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: activities and she shared her ideas with Kamal to see
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: what he thought. He liked all of her ideas, especially
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the ones involving trips to the seaside and the local park.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: His eyes sparkled with delight, and he said, don't forget
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: about the ice cream. We should have lots and lots
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and lots of ice cream. He began to count his
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: favorite flavors on his little fingers. Mina smiled at her brother.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: He did so love ice cream. She laced her hands
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: behind her head and thought about the book she'd finished
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: reading the previous day. He had been a mystery story,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and she had very much enjoyed finding out how the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: mystery had been solved. Mina loved mystery stories almost as
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: much as her brother loved ice cream. Thinking about her
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: book gave her a wonderful idea. She sat up and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: said to Kamal, we should solve a mystery. Kamal didn't
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: know what a mystery was, so Mina did her best
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to explain it to him. As he listened, Kamal scrunched
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: up his nose, and Mina could tell he still didn't understand.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Mina tried to think of an easier way to explain it,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: but at that very moment, she overheard an interesting conversation
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: taking place between her mother and missus Fuddle. It's a mystery,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: her mother said, her hands resting lightly on the garden fence.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: A complete mystery. I just don't know where they go
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: when it's been happening for weeks. Missus Fuddle said, Oh,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it's funny you should mention it because it's been happening
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to me also, and some of our neighbors have talked
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: about it too. How very peculiar you are right, it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is a mystery. Mina jumped to her feet and held
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: her hand out to Kamaal. She told him their mother
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: was talking about a mystery. She wanted to find out
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: what was going on. Kamal took his sister's hand and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ran with her over to their mother. The children stood
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: politely at their mother's side and waited for her to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: finish talking to missus Fudder. When she came to the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: end of her sentence, their mother looked down at her
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: children and smiled. She asked how they were doing and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: if they were having a lovely time in the sunshine.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Mina and Kamal nodded and smiled up at her. Mina
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: said she'd heard her mum talking about a mystery and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: wondered what the mystery was. Her mother chuckled and pointed
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to the laundry drying on the washing line. She explained
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that socks had been going missing from the line over
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the last few weeks. There was only one sock that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: went missing each time, never a pair of socks At first,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: she had thought the missing sock had been left in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the washing machine or in the laundry basket, but after
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: checking those places, she didn't find any odd socks there.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: She had even checked everyone's bedrooms in case there was
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a lost sock hiding underneath their beds, but again there wasn't,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and she was convinced that the socks had indeed disappeared
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: from the washing line somehow, and it always happened when
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: she was inside the house. Mina tapped her chin and said, hmm, interesting.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Kamal tapped he his chin too and said, yes, interesting,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: missus Fuddle joined in the conversation. The same thing has
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: been happening to me, and it's been going on for
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a few weeks too. I didn't say anything to your
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: mum because I thought the socks would turn up somewhere,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: but they haven't. She frowned. It's always a sock that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: goes missing from my line too, ever, anything else, just
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a sock. I don't know if the socks are blowing
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: away in the wind or if someone is taking them
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: when I'm in the house. But why would someone take
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: one sock? It's a mystery, Mina said, A complete mystery.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Her mother agreed, a mystery I'd love to solve. Perhaps
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I should investigate it, make one of those detectives in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: your books, Mina. Mina clapped her hands excitedly. Yes, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: should do that. Can we help you? Can we solve
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this mystery together? Her mother smiled and said that was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a wonderful idea, and together they would solve the Great
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: sock heist. Kamal asked what a heist was, and his
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: mother explained it was when something went missing, sometimes in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a mysterious way. She asked missus fudder if she would
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: like to join their team of detectives. I wish I could.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Their neighbor replied, but I've got a million things to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: do today. Let me know how you get on. She
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: waved goodbye and went into her house. Mina asked her
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: mum what they should should do first. Her mum tapped
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: her chin as she thought about the best way to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: start their investigation. She said, if someone has taken the socks,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we should start with a list of suspects. Seeing the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: confused look on her son's face, she explained a suspect
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was someone who might have taken the items. The family
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: fell silent as they pondered possible suspects. They soon realized
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: they didn't have any. Mina said, I know what we
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: need to do. She dashed into the house and returned
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: with a notepad and pencil. She opened up the notepad
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and said, we should make a list of our questions
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: about the mystery and then work out how to answer
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: each one. When we have all the answers, then will
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: be able to solve the mystery simple. The family came
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: up with a list of questions and Mina wrote them
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: all down. Did the socks fly off the line in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the wind? If so, are they somewhere in the garden?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Did the socks go missing at the same time every day?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: If someone has taken the socks, why would they do that?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And do they have a favorite color of sock? The
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: last question was Kamal's. When Mina wrote it down, he
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: felt very proud to be an important member of the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: detective family. Mina looked at the questions and said, if
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the socks were taken by a person or an animal,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: perhaps they have very cold feet and they need to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: keep them warm. I don't want anyone to have cold feet.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: If we find out who is taking the socks, can
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: we let them keep them. Mum, I've got plenty of socks.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They can even have some more if they like. Kamal
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: said they could have all of his socks because he
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: didn't even like wearing them. He wriggled his bare toes
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: inside his sandals and grinned. Mina's mum gave her children
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a fond look and said if they did find out
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: someone was taking the socks because they had cold feet,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: she would give them hers too, and she would also
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: knit some special ones for them. She loved knitting socks
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and had a huge stash of wool just waiting to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: be made into rainbow colored socks. Mina suggested the family
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: hide in the kitchen and peep through the window to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: see if anyone came in for the socks. Great idea,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: her mum said, there are plenty of socks already on
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the line. Let's go inside and see what happens. The
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: family went into the kitchen and peeped through one of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the windows. They waited and waited. After a while, Kamal
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: started to fidget. He had to use the bathroom. Mina
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: did too, and so did their mother. The family took
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it in turns to use the bathroom. They returned to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the kitchen and looked through the window. A sock was missing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It's one of mine, Kamal said happily. I'm glad they've
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: taken one of mine. I hope they come back for
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the other one. Mina asked her mom if they should
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: try hiding again. Mom had a bit of a cheeky
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: smile on her face. She said, I am interested to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: see who's taking our socks, but let's see if they
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: like all of our socks. I haven't tried this before.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put a pair of your dad's unwashed
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: socks on the line and see if they get taken.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: At the thought of their dad's unwashed socks, Mina and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Kamal pulled a face and then laughed at each other.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Their mother left the room and went in search of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: their father's socks. When she came into the kitchen, she
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: was holding them at arm's length and trying not to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: breathe in the strong smell. She went outside and quickly
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: put them on the line. She returned to the children.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Whilst they wait to see what would happen. They sat
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: on the sofa in the living room and their mother
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: told them a story about a princess called Samaira who
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: found a magical silver scarf inside a secret cave. The
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: children instinctively snuggled closer to their mother, and she wrapped
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: her arms around them. She spoke in a soft, soothing voice.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Little Kamal fell asleep. Mina soon followed. Their mother stopped
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: talking and closed her eyes. The family had a peaceful
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: nap and woke up at the same time. They went
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: into the kitchen and looked at the washing line. They
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: were astonished to see that both of their father's socks
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: had gone. The children's mother started laughing and said that
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: was the first time two socks had been taken, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: she would remember to tell their father, as she was
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: sure he would feel very special. Indeed, Mina appeared closer
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: through the window and said there was a piece of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: paper on the line where the socks had been. They
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: went outside and looked at the paper. It had words
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: on it. Mum read it out, dear family, thank you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: very much for all the socks. It's very kind of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you to give me such a wonderful gift. I hope
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you don't mind, but I took two this time because
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: they smelled so lovely. Kind regards Snaffles. Her heart had
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: been drawn beneath the words, along with a picture of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a smiling animal that looked like a cute, fluffy dog,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but who were standing on two Feetkamal said, Snaffles looked
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: very kind. Mina's mum smiled softly and agreed. She said
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it was a lovely note, but she didn't know why
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Snaffles thought the socks were a gift. Perhaps they should
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: try to meet Snaffles and explain they weren't a gift.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: But Snaffles can keep your dad's socks. I don't want
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: them back, she added. Mina had an idea. We need
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a trail to follow, something that will lead us to Snaffles,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and I know what to use. She needed her mum's
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: permission for the first part of her plan. When her
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: mum heard what her plan was, she readily agreed. Mina
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: went into the house and came back out with a
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: pair of bright red socks. She gave them to her mum,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: who carefully unpicked the end row of wool from each
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: sock and then tied it to the line. Mina explained
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to her brother that when Snaffles took a sock off
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the line, the end bit of wool would stay tied
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to the line, and the rest would unravel, trail along
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the ground and lead them to snaffles. Hopefully their plan
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: would work. At that very moment, the cheerful sound of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the ice cream van filled the air. The children's mother
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: knew that the great sock heist would have to wait.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: The children would want an ice cream, and she was
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: going to have one too. The family left the garden
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and joined the queue outside the ice cream van. They
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: returned to the garden with huge swells of strawberry and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: chocolate ice cream towering on top of cornets. Each ice
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: cream was covered in sparkling sprinkles. One of the red
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: socks had been taken from the line, but the family
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: were too absorbed in their delicious treats to notice. When
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they did finally notice the missing sock, little Kamal pointed
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: excitedly at the line and said, look, Mina, your plan worked.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: There's a line of wool on the ground to follow,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: he cheered loudly. The family left the garden and began
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to follow the trail of wool. The red wall led
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: them through the field behind their house and into a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: small woodland. The wall ended in front of a large
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: tree that had a door carved into it. The family
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: were familiar with the woodland area and had never noticed
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the peculiar tree before one word had been etched into
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the door, Snaffles. The children's mother tapped lightly on the door.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: The door opened, and Snaffles stood there. He looked a
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: bit like an adorable dog and a bit like a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: fluffy cushion. He wasn't much bigger than camal. His fur,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: which was the color of golden straw, ruffled gently in
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the wind, and huge brown eyes gazed kindly at the family.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Snaffles smiled and said hello. Looking into his kind eyes
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: made Mina and her family feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: They had never seen such a captivating creature before, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: their hearts melted. Mina thought he looked like a smiling,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: fluffy cloud on legs. Mina smiled and held up the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: end of the wool. She said, hello, Sorry to disturb you,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: but did you take a sock from our garden? And
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: are you Snaffles? Snaffles chuckled, his joyful laugh, bubbling like
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a stream tumbling over rocks. The happy sound made the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: family laugh too. He said, he you are not disturbing
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: me at all. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Yes,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I am Snaffles, and I think I know your names?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Are you Mina? And it's your brother called Kamal Mina
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and Kamal nodded. Snaffles looked at Mina's mother warmly and said,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and your name is Mum. I only moved here recently,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and I love how happy everyone in your street is.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say hello many times, but I was
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: too shy to introduce myself. Thank you so much for
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: all the socks you've left out for me. It's very
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: kind of you. I don't know what happened to that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: wool you're holding, Mina. It started off as a sock,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: but then it vanished on the way here, and all
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that's left is the wall. Mina had so many questions
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: for snap that she didn't know where to begin. Snaffles said,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: your generous neighbors have left socks out for me too.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I usually only take one, but I did take two
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: earlier from your garden. Oh, because they smelled so fragrant.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: That's why I left a note to explain. But you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: must have one of them back, mom, I shouldn't have
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: taken two. He reached behind his ear and took one
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of their father's unwashed socks from it. He gave it
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to Mina's mum. She quietly thanked him and put the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: sock in her pocket. Mina's mom didn't have the heart
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to tell Snaffles the socks hadn't been a gift, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: she didn't really have the heart to tell him her
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: name wasn't really mom. Kamal pointed to Snaffles's ears and said,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that's a funny place to keep socks, is it. Snaffles said,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I like how they feel there. They're like little cushions
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: for my ears. Kamal put his hand over his mouth
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and giggled. Snaffles looked at Mina's mother and said, Mum,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: would it be okay if I invited you and your
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: children into my home. I'd like to show you what
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I've done with all those socks you and your neighbors
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: have given me. The children's mother said they would love
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to see inside his home. Snaffles opened the door wider
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and the family stepped inside. They were amazed at how
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: big the inside of it was. Mina suspected there was
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: something magical about Snaffles. Snaffles took them around his home
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and showed them how he'd used the socks in the kitchen,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they saw socks hanging on the walls, and inside them
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: was spoons, forks, and a pair of salt and pepper pots.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: In the living room, some socks had been sewn together
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to make cushions. A couple of socks were propped up
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: against the cushions and books poked out of them. Smaller
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: socks were hanging from the lamp shade, which looked very jolly.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Snaffles took them into the bedroom and pointed to the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: bed where six teddy bears were snuggled inside some of
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Mina's socks. Snaffles said he was hoping to make a
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: big blanket when he had enough socks. The family would
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: take into the bathroom, where they saw a toothbrush and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: a tube of toothpaste in one of Kamal's school socks,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and a brush and shampoo in one of their mothers.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Mina and her mother didn't know what to say. They
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: had never seen socks used in such a variety of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: ways before. Kamal said, don't you ever wear the socks
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: on your feet? My feet, Snaffles said, in surprise, Why
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: would I wear them on my feet? That's a very
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: strange place to put them. If you don't mind me
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: saying so, but that's where they go, Kamal explained. He
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: took the toothbrush and toothpaste out of his school sock,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: kicked his sandal off and poured the sock on. He
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: pointed to it and said, look, that's where they go.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: If I had the other sock, it would go on
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: my other foot. I don't really like wearing socks all
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the time, except for my fluffy ones that I wear
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: at bedtime. He took the sock off and gave it
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: back to Snaffles. Snaffles looked extremely puzzled. He peered closely
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: at the sock and said, I don't understand. That doesn't
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: make any sense. Why do you put them on your
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: feet to keep my feet warm and snugly? Kamal said,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: try it. Snaffles gave the sock a suspicious look and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: put it on his foot. His eyes widened in surprise. Goodness, me,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that feels wonderful, so cozy and soft and snugly. Let
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: me put another one on. He found another sock and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: put it on. Snaffles broke into a huge, blissful smile.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: My feet are so happy, so very very happy. He
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: jigged from side to side and then twirled around. All
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, he stopped smiling. If you need socks,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: then why do you keep giving them away? Mean As
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: m'um kindly explained, the socks hadn't been a gift, but
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: now that they had met Snaffles and seen how cleverly
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: he'd used the socks, they insisted that he keep them.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Snaffles took the socks off his feet and said he
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't possibly keep them. He apologized for thinking that they
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: were gifts. He said, I saw one of your neighbors
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: hanging some socks out a few weeks ago, and she
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: said to her husband they were a present. She must
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: have meant that they had been given to her as
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: a present, but at the time I thought she meant
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: they were a present for everyone else. After that, every
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: time I saw socks on washing lines, I thought they
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: were gifts and that I could help myself do them.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I only took one sock so that somebody else could
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: have the other. I've made a terrible mistake. I'm so
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: very sorry. Mina's mom said, none of that matters now.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you took the socks because it meant we
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: got to meet you. I might keep some of my
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: belongings in socks. Now, I love how you've done that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Please do keep the socks this time. They are gifts.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And when I explained to my neighbors what's happened, they
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: will say the same thing. Snaffles took some convincing, but
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: he finally accepted the gifts with a shy smile his
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: fluffy face. He said, Mum, I saw you making some
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: socks in the garden last week. You were using some
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: sticks and wool. The socks were beautiful. Do you think
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you could show me how to do that? Please? I
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: would love to make my own socks. It's bestly now
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that I know they go on my feet. I certainly can.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: It's called knitting, and I have more wool than I
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: know what to do with. Snaffles, would you like to
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: come back to our house. We'll be having something to
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: eat soon and you are welcome to join us, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: after that I will teach you how to knit. Snaffles nodded,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: tears of happiness in his kind brown eyes. The family
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: took their new friend back home. Snaffles insisted on introducing
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: himself to the neighbors so he could apologize for his
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: misunderstanding about the whole sock business. Just as mean as
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: mother had said. The neighbors insisted Snaffles keep the socks.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Some of them said he could have more if he wanted.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Snaffles became a regular visitor to Mina and Camal's home.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: To his delight, he found he was extremely good at knitting,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and he created socks very quickly. Sometimes the families on
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the street would wake up and find extra pairs of
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: beautiful socks on their washing lines. They knew the socks
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: hadn't appeared by magic. They had been put there by
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: a kind hearted, fluffy animal who had become everyone's friend.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Snaffles loved wearing socks on his feet, especially during the
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: colder months. But his favorite pair of socks were the
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: unwashed ones that had belonged to Mina's dad. Snaffles used
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: them as little cushions for his ears. Every night, as
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: he snuggled down in bed, Snaffles would think about his
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: wonderful new friends and how lucky he was. He would
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: wriggle his toes inside his fluffy, warm socks. Sigh, happily,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: hand drift into a deep, deep sleep. Now we're floating
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: into a deep and peaceful sleep. Feel how your muscles
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: are relaxing, Your arms are heavy, and your legs are too,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: as they loosen and release any tension remaining from the day.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Feel how you let your body fall into the cozy
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: warmth of your bed. Close your eyes, let your eyelids
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: be heavy. Breathe deeply. Breathe in and out. Breathe in
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and out. As you continue to breathe deeply, and as
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: you keep feeling how your body becomes soft and heavy
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: with sleep. Let your mind drift away. That is the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: wonderful secret about sleep. While your body rests lying heavily
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: in your bed, your mind is set free, like a
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: bird taking flight from a branch and flying up. When up,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: burn up into the air. Feel how your mind loosens
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: now like a balloon that has been untied from a
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: fence and floats up when up, When up, like a bird,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Up and up and up, it floats towards the sky
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: until it reaches up into the clouds. Imagine that you
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: have risen up high above the world, and your head
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: has poked up through the clouds, then spread out all
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: around you in the silvery moonlight, white fluffy clouds that
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: look like cotton wool or marshmallows. They look so soft
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and squishy, You can lie back on them and roll
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: around in them. Try it now, Lie back in the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: soft cry, love the cloud, Fear how they swirl and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: wrap around your body, holding you gently. In the world
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: of sleep, clouds come in all shapes and sizes. Some
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: are big and fluffy, some are slender wisps, some look
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: like puffy mushrooms, and others look like paint brushstrokes that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: have been left on the dark sky. Let your body relax,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Let your mind relax too. Let your mind float off
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: into sleep. You are peaceful, You are safe. You are
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: being held in the cosy warmth of sleep with your
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: eyes closed. Let your mind drift up, up, up, and away.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: In the world of dreams, you can go anywhere you like.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: You can float on blue oceans with ripples and tufts
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: of waves. Or you can visit castles built in the
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: sky with spiraling turrets and drawbridges over sparkling moats. Or
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: you can wander into the peaceful woods where the birds
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: are twittering and the trees are dense with dark green knees.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Breathe in and out, Breathe in and out again, as
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: you fall more deeply into your cozy sleep, and with
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: your eyes still closed. Take a look around with your mind,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: But where your dreams have taken you? When I fall asleep,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I dream that I've gone to a world high up
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: in the clouds. Sometimes the clouds are dappled silver from
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: the moonlight. Sometimes their soft pink and gold reflecting the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: light of the twinkling stars. What form do your dreams take?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Where does your mind go when you fall asleep? Maybe
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: in your dreams there are flocks of white, fluffy sheep
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: huddling together on the green fields. Look at the mother
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you yawn widely before she tucks her little lambs beneath
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: her wooly fleece. Or maybe you dream of a friendly
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: dragon curled up with his tail wrapped around him, a
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: little trail of clouds puffing out of his nostrils. Look,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the cloud dragon is smiling at us and waving. What
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: a friendly dragon he is. Or maybe you dream of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: cute puppies lying on their backs, their tongues lolling out
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: of their mouths, their eyes closing because they've had such
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: a long day. They look tired, And there's their puppa dog,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: fluffy and white, padding softly over to wish the puppies
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: good night. Up here on the sea of clouds. You
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: can be free. Feel how light you are, waitness, floating,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: drifting through sleep. Feel everything heavy from the day lift
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: off you and drift away, taken away by currants until
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: they disappear over the bank of clouds. Any worries you've
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: been having, watch them float away. Anything that has been
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: weighing on your mind during the daytime. Now you can
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: let them go and watch them drift away. Your worries
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: are not you. You are not your worries. You can
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: let them go, watch them float away. Now you are
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: light as air. You are as gentle as starlight. You
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: are as soft as the clouds. Up in the sleepy sky,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: everything is weightless and peaceful. The clouds stretch out like
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a sea of tranquility. Close your eyes and feel the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: clouds wrap around you, Feel them bearing your body gently
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: into the land of sleep. Feel your eyes closed, feel
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: them rested heavily as your body relaxes into sleep. Feel
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: your mind lighten, feel it loosen and drift away, light
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: as a feather, soft as the clouds. Breathe in and out.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Breathe in, and the world of clouds is waiting for you.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Let yourself fall into the cloud's soft, warm hug. They're
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: here to protect you. They are here to cushion you.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: They're here to hold you as you enjoy your deep
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: and peaceful sleep. Sleep well, little one, sleep well in
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the land of clouds. Feel how light you are, Feel
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: how weightless floating drifting through sleep, light as air, gentle starlight.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Suffer as a cloud. Good night, little one, Sleep tight.
