Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
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. Sweet dreams, Avery, her

(00:57):
mom said, as she kissed her on the head and
turned out the light. Avery gave a sleepy smile and
closed her eyes, drifting off to the place between sleep
and dreams and waited. Every night. When Avery fell asleep,
she met the dream dragon, who took her to her dreams.

(01:21):
Avery floated around sleepily until a beam of fiery light appeared,
taking shape as it flew gracefully closer. The dream Dragon's
scales shimmered like a dancing lantern, casting orange and yellow
lights over Avery. Let's go find some dreams. The dragon

(01:48):
beamed its toothy smile at her, and Avery nodded and
climbed up onto the dragon's back like she did every night.
As the dragon flew, Avery imagined she was flying beside it.
She opened her eyes to see sparkling waves below her,

(02:13):
even dolphins jumping through the water. The dream Dragon was
beside her as she flew on her own wings. Avery
was a water dragon, dipping her wings in the water
and feeling its coolness. Dive in. Avery come play. The

(02:37):
dolphins squealed to her as they jumped in and out
of the water. Avery waved to the dream Dragon before
diving in to join the dolphins. The dolphins swam around
her with glee, and the dream Dragon continued on without her,

(02:58):
as it did every night. She swam along with them
a bit as a water dragon before transforming into a
blue whale. Her massive size made it difficult to jump
in and out of the water, so instead she dove

(03:21):
down deep to explore. The ocean grew darker as the
sun rays faded away. The only light down here came
from the jellyfish, who glowed like night lights as they
gently swayed wherever the water took them. Avery searched for

(03:45):
someone else to play with along the stillness of the
deep ocean and discovered a sea cave. She shrunk down
into a manta ray in order to fit through the
entrance She swam through a wall of water and popped

(04:07):
out the other side as Avery. No fins or flippers,
just Avery. The sun was shining and the grass and
bushes were lush and green. Rumbles shook the ground around
her until giant feet came into view. A t rex

(04:33):
roared high above, and Avery at once became a t
rex too. Yay a friend, the t rex said, now
that Avery could understand it. Avery and the t rex
stomped through the trees together, side by side, until the

(04:58):
sun lowered the sky a deep orange. It reminded Avery
of the dream Dragon, and as she looked again, she
could see the orange of the sun's rays sailing toward her,
forming into her dear old friend. As the dream Dragon

(05:20):
landed beside her, Avery waved goodbye to the t rex
with her tiny little t rex arms. She was much
too big to climb on his back, so she shrank
down and became soft and fuzzy. Avery the bunny rabbit,

(05:45):
hopped onto the dream Dragon and they took off, flying
up towards the moon. They flew a few loops around
the stars, watching the comets and space rocks within is around.
Avery decided she would like to catch a ride on

(06:06):
one of them, and the dream Dragon transformed. The dream
Dragon's glowing scales turned to stone, while its tail became
the fiery tail of a comet. They looped around the
planets a few times until Avery told the dragon, I'm

(06:28):
ready to rest now. So the dragon comet brought her
to a planet where her bunny self hopped off and
headed towards the forest. She found a soft bed of
grass below the trees and curled up underneath it. The

(06:49):
fireflies blinked around her, drying shapes with their lights. She
listened as the bullfrogs croaked by the lake, thought about
what it would be like to rip it so deeply.
She hopped over to the water's edge and jumped to
a lily pad, where her legs became long and green.

(07:15):
Avery the bullfrog smiled at the others began to croak
in rhythm. She watched as fish swam below, dancing to
their tune. Avery laughed as the dream Dragon returned began
to dance along as well. She could tell it was

(07:36):
almost time to go back with the dream Dragon and
start her new day, But for now, she sang and
danced along with the dragon and the bullfrogs. Enjoying her
dreams where she could be anything she wanted to be.

(08:00):
My friends, as it's time to close our eyes, may
you have very sweet dreams where you can be anything
that you want to be. Good Night, my friends,
