Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
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. In a small village

(00:56):
john a tiny mountain surrounded by the ocean, there lived
a little boy named Maverick. Maverick loved his island on
the ocean. Every day he splashed and played in the water,
and every night the waves shushed him to sleep. Maverick

(01:20):
felt so close to the ocean that he would talk
to it like it was a dear friend, telling it
his troubles. Every night, as his worries left his lips,
the ocean would hear them and carry them away far
out to sea. One particular night, Maverick had a lot

(01:43):
on his mind ocean. He said, I don't think I
will be able to sleep tonight. Tomorrow is my first
day of school in the village. What if I don't
like it? What if the food is yucky. The ocean
heard Maverick's concerns and tried to carry them away, but

(02:07):
he held on tight. Ocean, what if I can't make
any friends? Loud waves crashed to shore, trying to shake
the little boy away from his worries, but Maverick just
sighed and turned off his light, not letting go of

(02:27):
his worries. Unable to fall asleep, the waves began their
nightly routine. Sh sh went their comforting sound as they
gently crashed on the sandy shore, but it wasn't working

(02:49):
the way that it always had before. Maverick still could
not sleep, so the ocean called out to the birds
to sing a lullaby. The birds responded, perching in a
tree by the little Boy's window, and began cooing a
sleepy song. The song was quiet and beautiful, but Maverick

(03:16):
just stared at the ceiling inside. After a few more melodies,
the birds flew away to their nests. Now sleepy themselves
they were. The ocean thanked the birds for their help,
but did not give up. It reached out to the
crickets who stayed awake all night, and asked them to

(03:42):
play their musical chirps. For this little boy. They agreed,
rubbing their wings together and chirping along to a bedtime tune.
The night became noisy with the soothing sounds of a
summer night, with the crickets making music together all around

(04:05):
the tiny island. But their noise began to fade. They
saw the boy was still tossing and turning. It's not working.
I can't sleep, Maverick told the ocean. But the ocean
cared for this little boy and decided to keep trying.

(04:29):
The waves reached out to the wind, who often soothed
other children to sleep in the village. The wind responded,
rustling through the leaves of the trees with a soft
hushing sound. Hush, hushsh it said all around the village.

(04:53):
The clouds above noticed the hush of the wind blowing.
They did not want to be left out, so as
the soft wind blue, the clouds opened up and released
a light, soft rain. The soft pitter patters landed on
the little boy's window sell and danced on the roof.

(05:16):
Big rain drops, big round ones pip and plopped along
their own sleepy tune. The drip of the rain drops
mixed it sounds and with the breeze through the trees,
and the soft crash of the waves, creating the ultimate
trio of soothing sounds. All the little boys and girls

(05:40):
on the island were now surely asleep, all of them
except one. Maverick yawned and stretched, struggled to find a
comfy spot. He was still holding on to those worries
about tomorrow Morrow. No matter how calm and soothing the

(06:03):
sounds of nature outside his window were, it was not enough.
But the ocean still had one last hope. It called
out to someone else who loved the boy just as
much as the ocean did. A soft scratch sounded on

(06:24):
Maverick's door. He looked toward it as his dog, Grew
pushed the door open with her nose. She patted in
quietly over to him. Rue jumped up onto his bed
and nuzzled her way under his arm, curling up beside him.
After just a few minutes, her soft belly rose up

(06:48):
she drifted off to sleep under the little boy's arm.
He held his dog tightly, feeling loved and safe. Her
warm fur made him sleepy as his eyes finally began
to close. Cuddled up with his cozy pup, Maverick finally

(07:09):
let his worries go and drifted off to sleep. As
they drifted off to see outside, the waves crashed lightly
against the shore, sending a quiet shh shhh through the
little Boy's open window. The ocean silently thanked the dog

(07:32):
for helping its favorite little boy go to sleep. Well,
my friends, as we lay in our comfy beds with
our comfy blankets and pillows, I wish you all very
happy dreams. Good night, my friends. But b
