(00:27):
lovely to have you here again for story time. In
case you don't already know, my name is Tom and
I'm so glad to be your host. But here on Snuggle,
I'm not the only one who reads our stories. We
have lots of lovely friends to help us relax with
(00:48):
a cozy tale, and today's will be read by Vanessa,
one of our awesome Snuggle listeners, requested this story. It's
about Princess Willow and Blossom the Unicorn, who travel across
a rainbow to the Garden of Wishes, where they make
(01:10):
some magical friends. You will have such wonderful, creative imaginations,
so do keep on sending your ideas to us. We
love to hear them. To prepare our imaginations for this
magical adventure, we need to warm them up. So make
(01:34):
sure you're comfy, unsettled, and then take a big breath
in through your nose and notice how your chest and
belly rise up like a balloon. Then breathe back out
(01:56):
and feel them deflate back down. Keep breathing like this
nice and slowly to help you relax. And meanwhile, close
your eyes and imagine the most wonderful land where princesses, unicorns,
(02:20):
and all kinds of magical creatures live. This is where
our story begins.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Princess Willow lives in an enchanting land. This land is
full of pretty forests and vibrant green fields. Many of
the forests and fields are sprinkled with wild floss in
every color of the rainbow. There are also long, winding
(03:08):
rivers and gentle streams in this land. Many of these
connect to waterfalls that flow over mossy rocks. In the water,
little fish and friendly creatures swim and play between rocks
(03:30):
and lily pants. The fish love to swim through the river,
and sometimes they leap out of the water to peek
at the fluffy clouds, sparkling rainbows, and magical forests around them. Today,
(03:54):
Princess Willow is standing at the edge of the river
near her parents castle. The castle is near a patch
of the forest with soft soil, wild mushrooms and flowers
that bloom in every season. Princess Willow watches as a
(04:18):
fish jumps out of the water and flips in the
air before splashing back down and swimming with the current.
She watches as the fish catches up with its friends.
Just then she hears a familiar sound behind her. It's
(04:45):
the sound of Blossom's hooves, squishing into the soft soil
with every step. Blossom is a unicorn, and she is
Princess With's very best friend. They met years ago on
(05:07):
a quiet afternoon in the forest. The day they met,
Princess Willow was painting a picture of the river. When
Blossom appeared. She began to drink from the flowing river.
(05:29):
She did not notice the princess on the other side
of the water, tucked behind a big rock with her
paintbrush and easel. As Princess Willow painted, she added the
beautiful white unicorn drinking from the water. Blossom had a
(05:54):
silver maine that sparkled with colors of the rainbow, especially
when the sunlight touched it. Her horn was shiny in silver,
twisting up to the sky like a spiral made of
pure magic. Blossom's coat was soft and snowy white, with
(06:22):
a shimmer that made her look like she was dusted
with tiny silver stars. Her hoofs sparkled too, leaving a
little glittery prince wherever she stepped. Princess Willow really loved
(06:43):
the unicorn's big, kind eyes. They were as bright as
the moon, and the princess painted them in just that way.
When she finished the painting, Princess Willow held it behind
(07:03):
her back and tiptoed across the bridge to get closer.
The unicorn stood quietly, her silvery mane and coat shimmering
under the dappled sunlight that peeked through the trees. She
(07:25):
quietly stepped up to Blossom, her heart fluttering with excitement.
She held out the painting for the unicorn to see.
The Unicorn's eyes lit up with joy. The picture sparkled
(07:47):
in the sunlight, just like the unicorn. Then the unicorn's
horn began to glow softly, a friendly sign that she
loved the gift. The gentle shimmer of her coat seemed
(08:07):
even brighter now, as if she was thinking Princess Willow
in her own magical way. And from that day on,
Princess Willow and Blossom were the very best of friends,
sharing many magical adventures together in the enchanted land they
(08:31):
call home. Now they meet each other in the forest.
Gopher walks around the castle grounds, follow secret paths to
fairy groves, and make wishes upon magical flowers. Today they
(08:55):
are going on a little adventure to a water. Blossom
had heard about an enchanted waterfall from some of the
other magical creatures in the forest. She was sure Princess
Willow would love to go on a new adventure together.
(09:21):
So Blossom leads the way, following the river through the forest.
The ground shimmers with dewdrops. Just then, a fluffy white
bunny rabbit hops right past them. She is followed by
(09:44):
two baby bunny rabbits. Princess Willow chuckles. She loves animals,
especially the woodland creatures that travel through this land. Soon
(10:05):
they reach a bend in the river where an old
owl with fluffy gray feathers and bright wise eyes flies
down to meet them. The owl hoots in especial language,
giving Blossom directions toward the waterfall. They resume their journey
(10:32):
following the owl's guidance. Soon they see a clump of
bright red toadstools. They walk past them and turn left
over a little mossy hill with slippery rocks and friendly insects.
(10:57):
Blossom tells the princess that they must be close. The
owl told her the water was on the other side
of the mossy hill, and just like that, the forest
begins to open up, revealing a shimmering waterfall. The waterfall
(11:26):
flows into the river, and a mist rises up, creating
a magical fog. But there is something all the more
special about this place, a big, bright rainbow that wraps
(11:49):
across the waterfall. It is the brightest, most vibrant rainbow
Princess has ever seen. A ray of light shines on
the ground, making the unicorn's main sparkle in all the
(12:13):
vivid colors of the rainbow. Then Blossom's horn glows even brighter.
With a graceful flick of her mane, Blossom creates a
magical pathway that reaches all the way up the rainbow.
(12:40):
Blossom bends down, and Princess Willow climbs onto her back.
The princess holds onto Blossom's neck, and together they make
their way onto the rainbow. As they walk on the
(13:03):
colors of the rainbow, Princess Willow can sense the magic
all around her. She can hear the shimmering sound of sparkles,
and touch the fluffy clouds in their path. As she
(13:25):
reaches out to feel the clouds, a big smile comes
across her face. However, one of the most wonderful parts
of walking on a rainbow is the view of the
land below. She can see her parents' castle, the deep forests,
(13:55):
the winding rivers, tall mountains, and even the little village
with its cobbled streets and busy marketplace. Then she turns
her head towards the end of the rainbow, but it
(14:19):
doesn't lead back into the forest. Instead, she can see
it curves down to a sparkling garden. There are trees
with golden apples, flowers that change colors, and fairies wandering
(14:44):
to and fro, sparkly misst lingers in the air like
a magic spell. Of all the adventures that Princess Willow
and Blossom have been on together, they have never visited
(15:07):
anywhere quite like this. The princess thanks. Once they arrive
in the garden, Blossom gently bends down, letting Princess Willow
hop off her back. When the princess steps onto the
(15:31):
soft garden soil, little sparkles fload up around her, face,
making her feel light as a feather. Then the magic
dust sticks to Blossom's hooves and they are both able
(15:54):
to float off the ground to explore this secret garden.
As they wander, a trail of sparkles follows behind them.
What is most curious, however, is how the princess can
(16:17):
hear little whispers of heartfelt wishes. I wish for a
big garden with lots of yummy food. I wish for
(16:37):
a baby's sister. I wish for a pet to explore
the forest with. Soon enough, a tiny fairy with bright
red hair and glowing wings arrives to greet them. The
(17:03):
fairy flutters her delicate wings, which are full of color
like the magical garden around them. She smiles that Princess
Willow and Blossom, Welcome to the Garden of Wishes, the
(17:26):
fairy tells them, her voice soft and sweet. Only those
with pure hearts and a spirit of adventure can find
their way here. You too, must be very special. Princess
(17:50):
Willow's eyes widen with excitement the Garden of Wishes. The
princess says, does that mean we can make a wish?
The fairy nods and waves her tiny wand which has
(18:13):
a golden star at the tip. Little sparkles begin to
dance around them. Yes, of course, the fairy says, just
close your eyes, think of your deepest wish, and it
(18:40):
might come true. Princess Willow looks at Blossom, who nods
her head and encouragement her horn, giving off a reassuring glow.
(19:01):
The princess closes her eyes, holds her hands to her heart,
and makes her wish. She wishes for happiness and joy
to fill the enchanted land she calls home. She wishes
(19:26):
for every creature and person to feel as much wonder
and magic as she does now. After a few moments,
she opens her eyes and the garden seems to shimmer
(19:48):
more brightly. The fairy claps her tiny hands and tells
the princess that she he made a beautiful wish. Blossom
leans down, nuzzling the princess with affection. Together they take
(20:19):
one last look at the magical garden, letting its beauty
embrace them once more. Then, with the Fairy's guidance, they
follow the path back up to the beautiful rainbow. The
(20:46):
princess watches as the Sparkles stands off her shoes and
return to the garden where they belong. Then the two
happily head home. Princess Willow retreats to her wondrous castle
(21:16):
and Blossom goes back to her cozy place in the forest.
They say goodbye for now, each knowing they will always
cherish their memories of the magical place, they just visit it,
(21:44):
and from that day on, every time they see a
rainbow in the sky, they remember the Garden of wishes
and the joy of sharing magic, kindness and friendship withal.
(22:08):
And so, thanks to Princess Willow and Blossomed, the unicorn,
happiness began to grow everywhere in the land. The forest
seemed greener, the rivers sparkled more brightly, children played in
(22:37):
the open fields, and laughter filled the air. What unenchanted
land after all?
