Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister jim O.
I was just getting ready for bed, are you as well?
Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth and found
all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.

(00:27):
Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have
all those things ready, then it's time for our story.
But first we must close our eyes so that we
can travel to an imaginary world. Tonight was the night

(00:59):
that Quirky the Cat's Cat Cafe opened. Corky was so
excited he had been baking and cooking all day to
prepare his little kitty paws spent the afternoon whisking batters
and whipping cream. Though Corky was a cat, he did

(01:20):
not make only cat foods. Yes, he served fish, but
only cod and catfish. His seafood boils consisted of crab
and clams, but no shrimp. He filled his display cases
with cakes, but only carrot cakes, uh, chocolate cake and

(01:44):
cookie cakes. Yes, Corky had a lot on the menu,
but his specialty was foods that began with a letter. See.
Not only was it his specialty, but it was the
only thing he could make. It was not a preference,
nor something he had chosen. In fact, Corky had tried

(02:07):
to make things that didn't begin with the letter see,
and it always ended up in disaster. His brownies bubbled
and blew up, and his macaroons melted down flat as pancakes.
So Corky stuck to what he did best, and now

(02:28):
he was ready to share all of his letter See
Goodness with the world. The bell above the door jingled
as the first customer hopped inside. Benny the Bunny looked
through the menu and ordered a slice of carrot cake. Please.
Corky served it up with a smile. So far, so good.

(02:54):
Next came Gwinny the penguin, who ordered caviare on crackers.
Then Gilly the Goat trotted in and ordered a cherry cobbler.
Everything was going perfectly. All of the customers were sitting
at the tables enjoying their food. But then Reggie the

(03:16):
Robin flew in.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hullo, do you have any gulosh? Corky shook his head.
Would you like some corn chowder instead?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
No? What about gingerbread cookies? Sorry, responded Corky, We only
have things that begin with sea. How about cranberry cookies?
Reggie ruffled his feathers. What kind of cafe is this?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
You mean to tell me you have no grapefruit, guacomlei
or grapes either?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, no, and no. Gilly the Goat had overheard the
conversations and wanted to help out Corky. He pranced up
to the counter and offered to cook. I'm an expert
in all things that begin with the letter G. I

(04:20):
could even play guitar. Let me see what I can do.
So Corky passed Gilly in apron and he got to work.
A few moments later, he presented the bird with a
bowl of guacamole and green chips and slices grapes. The

(04:43):
gulash was simmering on the stove behind the counter. Now
that Gil had the g foods covered and Corky had
the sea, he felt much better. That was until Kelly
Kangaroo bounded in hum h an apples have abulk or

(05:06):
bloorbarrel clumsels. Corky responded, I'm afraid I can get you
some cream cheese, but no bagels or blueberries. I'm afraid
how about some baklava, asked Kelly. Before Corky could say no,
that was on the tip of his scratchy tongue. Benny

(05:29):
the Bunny hopped behind the counter a batch of bagels
coming right up. He turned to Corky and whispered, Oh,
add blueberries to the cream cheese too. Corky and his
friends began working together to serve the customers. Now Corky's
Cat Cafe was serving food that began with C, G

(05:54):
and B, and things were going even better. All of
the ostrich strutted in and asked for.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Baked cod with green beans please, and together the friends
made it happen.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Corky's Cafe was full of happy customers until Leo the
Lion came in. I want geese baked eggplant with spaghetti. Sorry, Leo,
how about some cheesy baked chicken with pasta? Leo frowned.

(06:36):
The large bushy mane surrounding his angry face made him
look upset. No Corky was sad. Corky looked deflated. Corky
wished he could make food for Leo, but he just
didn't have the right chef for food that began with E.

(06:59):
Just then, the hanging lights of the restaurant began to
rattle down the line. Someone began to stomp, stomp, stomp.
A large animal came into view, towering over Leo and
then over Corky and his counter. The elephant lifted its

(07:19):
trunk and said.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
She egg planned coming right up.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
A smile broke through Leo's frowning face. Corky perked up
in relief, and the restaurant continued serving up delicious food.
As the opening night came to an end, Corky was
grateful that he surrounded himself with so many helpful friends.
Teamwork had helped make his opening night a success, and

(07:49):
he knew that teamwork would help his restaurant continue to
be great. Krky also put up a help wanted sign
for more chefs, specifically those animals that begin with the
rest of the alphabet. I think there's twenty two letters
more to.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Go the end.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, friends, as we all get our comfy things and
get ready for bed, you all have very sweet dreams.
Good night,
