Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister Jim. Oh.
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. Bessie the Cow had

(00:58):
always dreamed of greatness. She lived on a farm full
of marvelous animals like Phyllis the fiddle playing cat and
Fido the dog Magician. Fid A loved to make the
dishes come alive and entertain the farm animals at night,

(01:21):
alongside Phyllis, who played the musical accompaniment for their shows.
Bessie the Cow had tried to be brilliant herself, but
she wasn't sure what her talents were. She had tried painting,
but she couldn't figure out how to hold the brush

(01:43):
in her hoofs. She attempted to sing along with the
cat's fiddle, but the barn animals all groaned and covered
their ears. She even dabbled in competitive eating, but her
four stomachs were no match for the pig's unending appetites.

(02:08):
One thing Bessie enjoyed, however, was jumping. Bessie loved to
leap and prance all around the fields, dashing over flower
patches and sometimes small goats, but she didn't know how
to turn her hobby into something great. She wanted to

(02:33):
be able to entertain to wow all the other farm animals,
but she didn't know where to start. One night, after
Phyllis and Fido had put on another great show involving
a dance routine completed by an enchanted dish and spoon,

(02:58):
the cat and dog approached her. Bessie, what's wrong. You
didn't seem to enjoy the show very much. Bessie sighed,
Oh no, the show was great. I'm sorry. I just
want to be able to do something special, but I

(03:21):
don't know how. Bessie explained how her love of jumping
and her dreams of dazzling the farm with her talent
never left her. Fido gave Bessie advice. Well, first, Bessy,
you have to do what makes you happy. Jump for you,

(03:45):
not for other animals. Then if performing is really what
you want, you need to practice The more you practice jumping,
the better you will be. Bessie gave the dog her
first smile of the night. The friends chatted a bit

(04:06):
more before heading off to bed. That night, Bessie dreamed
of jumping. She jumped over cars and buses, then houses
and skyscrapers. Bessie felt amazing as she soared through the

(04:26):
air in her dreams, even with no one watching. The
next morning, it was decided Bessie would practice her jumps,
and she was determined to jump as high as the sky,
maybe even higher. Bessie entered the barn and greeted the horses.

(04:51):
She convinced them to line up and allow her to
practice jumping over them. First, she jumped over one horse,
then two, and eventually she jumped over all five horses.

(05:15):
It was a long day and she went to bed
that night exhausted and proud of herself. Each day, Bessie
gave herself a new challenge. She had master jumping over
the barn animals, so she moved on to the tractor.
Once she could do that, Bessie began to prepare herself

(05:38):
to jump over the barn. At that point, the other
animals began to watch. Whoa look at Bessie go. She
can leap over the barn in a single bound. That's
one amazing cow. Bessie was happy with all the kind

(06:01):
remarks from her barnyard friends, but she wasn't ready to
stop challenging herself. She had made a goal to jump
as high as the sky, and she was going to
reach it. Once Bessie master jumping over the barn, she
had to move on to higher and more challenging leaps.

(06:24):
One night, as the farmer slept, Phyllis and Fido swiped
the farmer's keys and borrowed the trailer. They loaded all
of the barn animals up and ventured into the city.
All right, Bessie, this is the city's tallest skyscraper. Give

(06:45):
it a go. Encouraged the dog, Bessie practiced all night.
By the time the sun began to rise, she had
done it. Bessie could jump over the skyscraper. The farm
animals watched in amazement before piling back into the trailer

(07:09):
and heading back to the farm, where the farmer woke up.
Everyone was extra sleepy that day, but it was worth it.
It was exciting to watch Bessie complete a goal. Bessie

(07:29):
kept practicing at the farm each night, jumping higher and
higher before bed. She was jumping full into the sky
while she was out leaping by moonlight. One night, Phyllis
and Fido reproached her with a question, Bessie, would you

(07:51):
like to join us in a show? Bessie nodded and
mooed with excitement. She would love nothing more than to
perform for all the barn animals. So the next night,
after the farmer went to bed, the farm animals all
gathered to watch. Phyllis played a song she had named

(08:14):
Hey did a little. While the animals settled down to
watch the performance of the cat and the fiddle. Behind Phyllis,
Bessie jumped. She reached the sky and kept going. She
jumped higher and higher until the cow jumped over the moon.

(08:38):
Fido was thrilled, and the little dog laughed to see
such an amazing thing. He forgot all about the table
where he had been making dance, and at the first
chance the dish ran away with the spoon. Bessie landed
beside the cat and dog, and all of the farm

(08:59):
animals almost erupted in cheers. That night, Bessie slept more
soundly than ever, full of joy from her happy friends,
and having jumped further than she could ever have dreamed
the end. Well, friends, as we close our eyes and

(09:24):
cozy up, you all have very happy dreams. Good night,
my friends,
