Speaker 1: Coco Sleep on your favorite podcast app to never miss
00:00:28
Speaker 1: an episode. Hmmm, have you ever woken up in the
00:00:33
Speaker 1: morning convinced that you were just somewhere else? Perhaps eating
00:00:38
Speaker 1: cake on a beach, or having a bubble bath in
00:00:41
Speaker 1: a shopping center, maybe flying with the birds, or chatting
00:00:45
Speaker 1: to your favorite celebrity. It can be very strange waking
00:00:50
Speaker 1: up from a dream, but rather wonderful too, because you
00:00:53
Speaker 1: feel like you've been somewhere new and exciting. Tonight, we're
00:00:58
Speaker 1: going to meet two very special dogs. You've actually met
00:01:02
Speaker 1: them before. I wonder if you can remember their names,
00:01:06
Speaker 1: a Golden Retriever and his very best friend, a cocker Spaniel. Yes,
00:01:12
Speaker 1: this is a tale all about Hector and Sunny. One day,
00:01:18
Speaker 1: the two friends magically go into a special land where
00:01:22
Speaker 1: animals dreams come true. Let's hear about the amazing day
00:01:28
Speaker 1: they have in dreamland and how Hector and Sunny's dreams
00:01:32
Speaker 1: come true too. This is Hector and Sunny in Dreamland
00:01:38
Speaker 1: by Gillian Rogerson. On a warm morning in June, a
00:01:50
Speaker 1: smiling Golden Retriever by the name of Hector jogged into
00:01:54
Speaker 1: the local park with his owner. Being a very friendly dog,
00:02:00
Speaker 1: Hector said hello to every single dog he met along
00:02:03
Speaker 1: his journey. The park was busy that day and there
00:02:07
Speaker 1: were a lot of dogs to say hello to. Hector
00:02:10
Speaker 1: didn't mind at all, and his tail wagged NonStop as
00:02:14
Speaker 1: he joyfully greeted every dog like a friend. But even
00:02:19
Speaker 1: as he said hello to the dogs, he kept looking
00:02:22
Speaker 1: left and right across the park. He was searching for
00:02:27
Speaker 1: his best friend, Sonny. She came to the park every
00:02:31
Speaker 1: day just like he did, so where was she? She
00:02:35
Speaker 1: must be here, somewhere. Ah, There she was. A beautiful
00:02:41
Speaker 1: Cocker Spaniel with golden brown fur and blue eyes the
00:02:45
Speaker 1: color of the sky. Trotted towards Hector or barked out
00:02:49
Speaker 1: a happy hello. The dogs were thrilled to see each
00:02:53
Speaker 1: other and wagged their tails in delight. The dog owners
00:02:58
Speaker 1: said hello to each other and then took their dogs
00:03:01
Speaker 1: over to a bench at the side of the path.
00:03:04
Speaker 1: The owners sat down and let the dogs off their leads.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny raced off across the field. They looked
00:03:13
Speaker 1: back now and again to make sure their owners were
00:03:15
Speaker 1: okay without them. The two dogs loved running around the
00:03:20
Speaker 1: park together. They loved the feel of the grass beneath
00:03:24
Speaker 1: their paws and the wind rushing through their fur. They
00:03:28
Speaker 1: adored joining in with people who were playing games such
00:03:32
Speaker 1: as football and frisbee. When Hector had been a puppy,
00:03:38
Speaker 1: he'd discovered he was particularly good at football and was
00:03:42
Speaker 1: brilliant at kicking the ball as far away as he could,
00:03:45
Speaker 1: sometimes into trees. Sonny was good at football too, but
00:03:51
Speaker 1: she was better at frisbee and loved jumping up high
00:03:55
Speaker 1: and catching a flying frisbee in her mouth. Once she
00:03:59
Speaker 1: caught it, she would run around the playing field as
00:04:02
Speaker 1: fast as she could before hiding the frisbee under a
00:04:05
Speaker 1: bush or under a bench. It was great fun. Of
00:04:09
Speaker 1: all the super things to do at the park, the
00:04:12
Speaker 1: dogs loved just loved chasing squirrels. The squirrels loved it too,
00:04:19
Speaker 1: and would often wave at Hector and Sonny before scampering away,
00:04:23
Speaker 1: expecting the dogs to chase after them. It was the
00:04:26
Speaker 1: best game of all That morning, as the two dogs
00:04:32
Speaker 1: ran around the playing field, they looked out for squirrels
00:04:35
Speaker 1: to chase. Hector spotted one and pointed it out to Sonny.
00:04:42
Speaker 1: Sonny frowned and said, that squirrel looks different to the
00:04:46
Speaker 1: other ones. He's got silver fur. Hector didn't care what
00:04:52
Speaker 1: color further squirrel had. All he wanted to do was
00:04:56
Speaker 1: chase it. He set off running af to the silver squirrel.
00:05:02
Speaker 1: The squirrel smiled at Hector and sprinted towards a large tree.
00:05:08
Speaker 1: Sonny ran after Hector and soon caught up with him.
00:05:12
Speaker 1: The squirrel looked over his shoulder and gave them a
00:05:16
Speaker 1: cheeky smile. You're never going to catch me, he said,
00:05:22
Speaker 1: we will, Hector called out. He sped up, so did Sonny.
00:05:29
Speaker 1: The two dogs were so busy chasing after the silver
00:05:33
Speaker 1: squirrel that they didn't notice they were getting closer and
00:05:37
Speaker 1: closer to the large tree ahead of them, until it
00:05:42
Speaker 1: was too late. Sonny spotted the tree first. Hector look
00:05:48
Speaker 1: out for the tree. The dogs were going too fast
00:05:51
Speaker 1: to slow down. They reached the tree and went right
00:05:57
Speaker 1: through it. Hector and Sonny entered a different world, a
00:06:04
Speaker 1: world full of magic and wonder. Hector didn't notice at
00:06:10
Speaker 1: first because he was too busy looking for the cheeky
00:06:13
Speaker 1: silver squirrel. Where did you go? Hector asked Sonny that
00:06:19
Speaker 1: squirrel must be here somewhere. Sonny wasn't listening. She was
00:06:25
Speaker 1: staring at the scene in front of them. Hector, look
00:06:32
Speaker 1: look at what? Hector asked. He saw Sonny looking at
00:06:37
Speaker 1: something ahead of them. He looked too. He said, Sonny,
00:06:45
Speaker 1: where have all these animals come from? And what are
00:06:48
Speaker 1: they doing in our park? Have they been in the
00:06:52
Speaker 1: park all this time? And we haven't noticed them before?
00:06:57
Speaker 1: Sonny shook her head. They've never been here before. She
00:07:03
Speaker 1: pointed to a group of gray elephants nearby, who was
00:07:08
Speaker 1: squirting water at each other and laughing. I would have
00:07:12
Speaker 1: noticed those elephants before. They're enormous. And look over there,
00:07:19
Speaker 1: there's a couple of lions playing tennis. Hmm. I didn't
00:07:23
Speaker 1: even know lions could play tennis, but I have only
00:07:27
Speaker 1: ever seen them on the television, so I'm not an
00:07:29
Speaker 1: expert on lions. Hector didn't know what to make of
00:07:35
Speaker 1: it all. It's like we're in a totally different park.
00:07:41
Speaker 1: You are, said a voice behind them. The dogs turned
00:07:47
Speaker 1: around and saw the silver squirrel standing there. He waved
00:07:52
Speaker 1: at them and said, Hi, welcome to Dreamland. The dogs
00:08:00
Speaker 1: gave him confused looks. The squirrel continued talking. Let me explain.
00:08:07
Speaker 1: First of all, my name is Sydney, and it's a
00:08:10
Speaker 1: pleasure to meet you two. I've seen you in the
00:08:13
Speaker 1: park many times, but I don't think you've noticed me before.
00:08:18
Speaker 1: Hector said they hadn't seen Sydney before because he would
00:08:22
Speaker 1: have remembered him. Hector remembered all the squirrels he chased.
00:08:29
Speaker 1: Sidney said, I've heard your owners call out your names,
00:08:33
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny. Is that right it is? Sonny replied.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Please tell us about Dreamland and how we got here.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: Sydney explained the dogs had run through a magical tree
00:08:48
Speaker 1: that led to Dreamland. The tree had always been in
00:08:52
Speaker 1: the park, for the dogs had never run into it before.
00:08:57
Speaker 1: The squirrel knew they'd like Dreamland, so he made sure
00:09:01
Speaker 1: they chased him towards the enchanted tree. He said, this
00:09:07
Speaker 1: place is where animals live out their dreams. Animals get
00:09:12
Speaker 1: to this place in many ways, and for you two,
00:09:16
Speaker 1: it was that tree in the park. Dreamland is full
00:09:21
Speaker 1: of magic and anything you dream about can come true here.
00:09:26
Speaker 1: Anything Hector asked. Sydney said, yes, anything, What do you
00:09:36
Speaker 1: dream about, Hector? Hector sat down and a far away
00:09:42
Speaker 1: expression came into his eyes. I dream about huge puddles
00:09:51
Speaker 1: made of gravy, lots of puddles and lots of gravy.
00:09:57
Speaker 1: I put my face in the puddles and drink it
00:10:00
Speaker 1: all up. Yum, yum. He licked his lips and smiled.
00:10:07
Speaker 1: Sydney asked Sonny what she dreamed about. Lots of things.
00:10:13
Speaker 1: I dream about collecting sticks and making a really big
00:10:17
Speaker 1: house out of them, and inside the house, the furniture
00:10:21
Speaker 1: is made of sticks too. I dream about running round
00:10:25
Speaker 1: and round in circles and never running out of energy.
00:10:28
Speaker 1: But my best dream is about an adventure course for dogs.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: I went on once with my owner. There were se
00:10:37
Speaker 1: saws and climbing frames, tunnels to run through, and big
00:10:41
Speaker 1: tires to jump in and out of. I dream about
00:10:45
Speaker 1: that a lot. She sighed and smiled. Sydney nodded and
00:10:53
Speaker 1: said those were wonderful dreams and they could happen for
00:10:57
Speaker 1: the dogs in the magic Park. All the dogs had
00:11:01
Speaker 1: to do was believe in their dreams and then look
00:11:06
Speaker 1: out for them in the park. Hector was only half
00:11:10
Speaker 1: listening to Sydney because he was thinking about chasing squirrels again.
00:11:17
Speaker 1: He thought about chasing squirrels a lot. Hector asked Sydney
00:11:24
Speaker 1: if there were other squirrels in the Magic Park. There are,
00:11:29
Speaker 1: Sydney said, and they love being chased by dogs. If
00:11:35
Speaker 1: you look over there, you'll see some squirrels wearing racing shoes.
00:11:40
Speaker 1: They're warming up and getting ready to run around the park.
00:11:45
Speaker 1: If you ask them nicely, they'll let you chase after them.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: Hector couldn't believe his luck and wondered if he was
00:11:55
Speaker 1: actually having a dream right there and now. Sydney smiled
00:12:03
Speaker 1: at him. I know what you're thinking, Hector. Nope, you're
00:12:08
Speaker 1: not asleep. This is all real. It was lovely to
00:12:13
Speaker 1: meet you both, But I have somewhere to go, so
00:12:16
Speaker 1: I'll be off now. Why don't you explore the park
00:12:20
Speaker 1: and talk to some of the other animals, and don't
00:12:23
Speaker 1: forget to look out for your dreams. Sonny asked if
00:12:30
Speaker 1: their owners would be okay in the other park without them.
00:12:35
Speaker 1: Sydney explained time had frozen in the other park and
00:12:39
Speaker 1: their owners would still be in the same place when
00:12:43
Speaker 1: the dogs returned. How do we get back to the
00:12:48
Speaker 1: other park, Sonny asked. The silver squirrel told them to
00:12:55
Speaker 1: bark three times and they would return immediately. He said
00:13:00
Speaker 1: goodbye and scampered away. Sonny sat next to Hector and
00:13:07
Speaker 1: asked him what they should do first. Should they talk
00:13:12
Speaker 1: to the other animals or start searching for their dreams.
00:13:18
Speaker 1: We should say hello to everyone, Hector replied, that's the
00:13:22
Speaker 1: polite thing to do. I always say hello to every
00:13:26
Speaker 1: one I meet. Sonny nodded and said that was a
00:13:32
Speaker 1: good idea. The two dogs stood up and began to
00:13:37
Speaker 1: explore Dreamland. They walked towards a group of pink flamingoes
00:13:44
Speaker 1: who were standing in a circle next to a tree.
00:13:49
Speaker 1: The birds were wearing silver trousers and shirts covered in
00:13:54
Speaker 1: rainbow colored sequins. They were standing as still as statue
00:14:01
Speaker 1: and looked like they were waiting for something to happen.
00:14:06
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny said hello to the colorful flamingos and
00:14:11
Speaker 1: asked what they were doing. The nearest flamingo explained, we're
00:14:18
Speaker 1: waiting for the disco music to begin. We Flamingos love
00:14:25
Speaker 1: nothing better than dancing to disco tunes. We dream about
00:14:30
Speaker 1: it every night. When we found out about Dreamland and
00:14:35
Speaker 1: how to get here, we all decided our dream would
00:14:40
Speaker 1: be to disco dance all day and all night. And
00:14:45
Speaker 1: once the music begins, we're going to start moving. Sonny
00:14:52
Speaker 1: looked around and asked where the music would come from
00:14:57
Speaker 1: the tree. Of course, the flamingo replied, she's going to
00:15:02
Speaker 1: start singing to us soon. You can join in with
00:15:06
Speaker 1: our dancing if you want to. Hector and Sonny had
00:15:11
Speaker 1: never danced with flamingoes before, and they'd never heard a
00:15:16
Speaker 1: tree sing, so they decided to stay with the birds
00:15:21
Speaker 1: to see what would happen next. A second later, the
00:15:27
Speaker 1: tree began to sing. It was a joyful song, and
00:15:32
Speaker 1: as soon as the flamingoes heard it, they began to
00:15:36
Speaker 1: boogie and bop to the beat. The leaves on the
00:15:40
Speaker 1: tree swished back and forth, creating a happy rhythm to
00:15:45
Speaker 1: accompany the tree's words. Hector and Sonny couldn't help but
00:15:52
Speaker 1: join in with the dancing. They twirled and whirled in
00:15:56
Speaker 1: and out of the pink birds and around the singing tree.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: It was tremendous fun. The dogs danced for two more
00:16:07
Speaker 1: songs and then decided to move on and meet some
00:16:12
Speaker 1: more animals. They said goodbye to the flamingos and went
00:16:17
Speaker 1: on their way. They soon came to an ice skating
00:16:22
Speaker 1: rink that was in the shape of a star. Penguins
00:16:27
Speaker 1: dressed in wooly scarves, hats, and mittens were skating easily
00:16:33
Speaker 1: across the ice. The dogs said hello to the happy penguins.
00:16:41
Speaker 1: They didn't ask what their dream was, because the smiles
00:16:45
Speaker 1: on the penguins' faces clearly meant they were having a
00:16:50
Speaker 1: marvelous time on the ice and living out their dreams.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: A couple of penguins skated over to the dogs and
00:17:00
Speaker 1: asked if they wanted to join them on the ice.
00:17:04
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny said yes, but they weren't sure their
00:17:09
Speaker 1: paws would be okay on the frozen water. The penguins
00:17:15
Speaker 1: pointed to something behind the dogs. Hector and Sonny looked
00:17:21
Speaker 1: over their shoulders and saw some ice skating boots on
00:17:25
Speaker 1: the grass. The boots hadn't been there a second ago,
00:17:30
Speaker 1: and it seemed they had appeared like magic. The boots
00:17:36
Speaker 1: looked the perfect size for the dogs. With a bit
00:17:41
Speaker 1: of help from the penguins, the boots were placed on
00:17:44
Speaker 1: the dog's feet, and then off they went, skating across
00:17:50
Speaker 1: the ice. Hector and Sunny were a bit wobbly at first,
00:17:57
Speaker 1: but the kind penguins helped them and soon The happy
00:18:02
Speaker 1: dogs were skating easily around the rink. They even managed
00:18:08
Speaker 1: to perform pirouettes. After a while, the dogs decided to
00:18:15
Speaker 1: explore the magical park further. They said goodbye to the
00:18:21
Speaker 1: penguins and stepped off the ice and onto the grass.
00:18:26
Speaker 1: Their ice skating boots magically disappeared, and the dogs wiggled
00:18:31
Speaker 1: their toes into the soft grass. Hector and Sonny continued exploring.
00:18:42
Speaker 1: Hector sniffed the air and said, or think I can
00:18:47
Speaker 1: smell gravy? Can you smell it? Sonny. Sonny had a
00:18:53
Speaker 1: good sniff, but said she couldn't smell any gravy. The
00:18:59
Speaker 1: dogs came upon something very peculiar. Next. There was a
00:19:05
Speaker 1: huge bouncy castle right in the middle of a playing field.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: Cheerful shouts and laughter came from inside it. Hector and
00:19:19
Speaker 1: Sonny walked closer to the inflatable castle. They looked inside
00:19:26
Speaker 1: it and saw lots of chuckling kangaroos bouncing merrily. Some
00:19:35
Speaker 1: kangaroos were even leaping into the air and then turning somersaults.
00:19:42
Speaker 1: The dogs said hello to the kangaroos. The nearest kangaroos
00:19:47
Speaker 1: waved and invited the dogs in. Hector and Sonny didn't
00:19:54
Speaker 1: hesitate to join them. They leapt into the castle and
00:20:00
Speaker 1: began to bounce up and down. It was so much
00:20:05
Speaker 1: fun that the dogs laughed with joy. Hector and Sonny
00:20:11
Speaker 1: absolutely loved the bouncy castle and would have stayed there
00:20:17
Speaker 1: a lot longer, But Hector caught a whiff of gravy
00:20:22
Speaker 1: again and told Sonny he had to find out where
00:20:26
Speaker 1: it was coming from. You can stay here, Sonny. I
00:20:30
Speaker 1: don't want to spoil your fun, Sonny said, I always
00:20:38
Speaker 1: had the best fun when I'm with you, Hector. Let's
00:20:42
Speaker 1: go and find the gravy together. Hector and Sonny waved
00:20:48
Speaker 1: goodbye to the kangaroos and jumped off the bouncy castle.
00:20:55
Speaker 1: Using his amazing sense of smell, Hector lifted his nose
00:21:01
Speaker 1: and followed the delicious scent across the field. Sonny was
00:21:07
Speaker 1: right behind him. They soon came to something so spectacular
00:21:14
Speaker 1: it made the dog sit down in surprise. They could
00:21:19
Speaker 1: not believe what was in front of them. Hector could
00:21:24
Speaker 1: hardly speak. His voice was a whisper as he said, Sonny,
00:21:34
Speaker 1: does that look like a stream made out of gravy
00:21:41
Speaker 1: to you? Sonny nodded the dog slowly stood up and
00:21:49
Speaker 1: moved closer to the glorious, golden brown water that flowed
00:21:56
Speaker 1: slowly in front of them. The mouth watering scent of
00:22:02
Speaker 1: gravy drifted towards them, making their mouths water. Hector dipped
00:22:10
Speaker 1: his toes into the stream. It was pleasantly warm. He
00:22:17
Speaker 1: lowered his head and stuck his tongue into the liquid.
00:22:23
Speaker 1: It was gravy, thick, delicious gravy. He smiled happily. His
00:22:34
Speaker 1: dream had come true. Sonny took a sip of the
00:22:40
Speaker 1: gravy too. Yum, this is the best gravy I've ever tasted. Hector.
00:22:51
Speaker 1: I know you love running through puddles. This dream isn't
00:22:56
Speaker 1: deep at all. Do you want to run through it?
00:23:01
Speaker 1: Hector nodded happily, and then in a flash, he jumped
00:23:07
Speaker 1: into the gravy stream. He ran up and down the
00:23:13
Speaker 1: stream and covered himself in the delicious gravy. Every now
00:23:19
Speaker 1: and then he would lick some off his paws. It
00:23:25
Speaker 1: was scruntious. Sonny stayed at the side of the stream
00:23:31
Speaker 1: and watched her friend. Seeing how happy he was filled
00:23:37
Speaker 1: her heart with love, and she forgot about her own dream.
00:23:43
Speaker 1: But Hector hadn't forgotten about Sonny's dream. As he was
00:23:50
Speaker 1: running through the gravy stream for the tenth time, he
00:23:55
Speaker 1: looked over at Sonny and noticed something had magic appeared
00:24:01
Speaker 1: behind her. He took one last drink of the delicious
00:24:08
Speaker 1: liquid and then jumped out of the stream. He gave
00:24:14
Speaker 1: himself a good shake and sent gravy droplets flying through
00:24:20
Speaker 1: the air. Hector jogged over to Sonny and told her
00:24:28
Speaker 1: to turn around. Sonny did so, her mouth fell open
00:24:34
Speaker 1: in astonishment. Before them stood an amazing adventure course. Everything
00:24:46
Speaker 1: had been painted in bright colors, and each item was
00:24:50
Speaker 1: covered in glimmering gold glitter. The adventure course was more
00:24:57
Speaker 1: magnificent and Sonny had ever dreamed about. Hector and Sonny
00:25:04
Speaker 1: walked towards the course and stopped at a red sea saw.
00:25:11
Speaker 1: Hector stood to one side and told Sonny to go
00:25:15
Speaker 1: on it first. Sonny placed her paw on the see
00:25:20
Speaker 1: saw and grinned. Up she went, and then down she went.
00:25:27
Speaker 1: It was such great fun that she went on it
00:25:30
Speaker 1: five more times. Sonny ran on to the next part
00:25:36
Speaker 1: of the course. Hector ran up and down the seesaw
00:25:42
Speaker 1: and followed his friend. They ran through a green tunnel
00:25:47
Speaker 1: made of wood. Their paws trip trapped over its surface
00:25:52
Speaker 1: like a drum beat. They jumped over a purple fence
00:25:58
Speaker 1: with ease and grace. They leapt in and out of
00:26:04
Speaker 1: large orange tires, laughing cheerfully as they went. The dogs
00:26:11
Speaker 1: jumped through sparkling blue hoops and launched themselves over walls
00:26:18
Speaker 1: made of pink bricks just for the fun of it.
00:26:24
Speaker 1: Sonny ran round and round in circles until she fell
00:26:29
Speaker 1: to the grass in pure happiness. The friends played on
00:26:35
Speaker 1: the adventure course for a while longer, having the time
00:26:39
Speaker 1: of their lives. Just when they thought they couldn't have
00:26:44
Speaker 1: been any happier, a huge pile of twigs, sticks, and
00:26:52
Speaker 1: branches magically appeared at the side of the gravy stream.
00:26:57
Speaker 1: They had a wonderful time moving the pile from one
00:27:02
Speaker 1: side of the stream to the other. It was very satisfying.
00:27:08
Speaker 1: Before long, the dogs began to feel tired. Hector yawned first,
00:27:17
Speaker 1: and then Sunny yawned. They decided they should head back
00:27:22
Speaker 1: to their owners soon, but they didn't want to leave
00:27:26
Speaker 1: the magic park just yet. They wanted to see more
00:27:31
Speaker 1: animals before they went back. They left the gravy Stream
00:27:37
Speaker 1: and the adventure course behind. They had a feeling they'd
00:27:44
Speaker 1: be able to return to them again. One day, the
00:27:50
Speaker 1: sky was turning darker and the sun dipped towards the horizon.
00:27:57
Speaker 1: It was getting late. Hector and Sonny walked on and
00:28:03
Speaker 1: came to a couple of lamers who were wearing fleecy pajamas.
00:28:10
Speaker 1: The lamers yawned loudly, and so did the dogs. Hector
00:28:17
Speaker 1: asked what the lamers had been doing that day in
00:28:20
Speaker 1: the park. Lots of things, the smaller of the lamers said,
00:28:28
Speaker 1: playing and singing, jumping and dancing. But now we're ready
00:28:35
Speaker 1: for bed. I love getting into my cozy, warm bed
00:28:40
Speaker 1: and going to sleep. It's my favorite thing to do.
00:28:46
Speaker 1: I love sleeping so much. Did I even dream about
00:28:50
Speaker 1: sleeping when I'm asleep? He giggled. His giggle turned into
00:28:57
Speaker 1: a yawn. The dogs yawned too. A big, comfy bed
00:29:07
Speaker 1: floated down from the sky and landed in front of
00:29:11
Speaker 1: the animals. The lamas got into bed and snuggled down
00:29:17
Speaker 1: into it. They said good night to the dogs and
00:29:22
Speaker 1: closed their eyes. They were asleep in seconds. The bed
00:29:29
Speaker 1: looked so inviting that the dogs were almost tempted to
00:29:35
Speaker 1: climb into it too, but they wanted to see more
00:29:40
Speaker 1: animals and then go back to their owners. They carried
00:29:45
Speaker 1: on through the park and came across a dozen cute
00:29:50
Speaker 1: koalas snoozing peacefully in the boughs of a tree. Seeing
00:29:58
Speaker 1: their sleepy face made the dogs feel even more tired.
00:30:06
Speaker 1: They didn't want to wake the koalas, so they tiptoed
00:30:11
Speaker 1: past them. The sky turned even darker. Hector and Sunny
00:30:21
Speaker 1: blinked their eyes sleepily. All the animals in the Magical
00:30:27
Speaker 1: Park were tired too, and everyone was getting ready for bed.
00:30:35
Speaker 1: Tired tigers were brushing their teeth. Sleepy slots were washing
00:30:42
Speaker 1: their faces. Baby animals were listening to bedtime stories being
00:30:50
Speaker 1: told to them by their parents. Hector and Sunny said
00:30:56
Speaker 1: good night to every animals and wished them a good
00:31:03
Speaker 1: night's sleep. The tired dogs could not stop yawning. It's
00:31:12
Speaker 1: time we went back to our owners, Sonny said sleepily.
00:31:19
Speaker 1: Hector agreed. They moved away from the other animals and
00:31:26
Speaker 1: then barked quietly three times, and just like that, they
00:31:35
Speaker 1: were back in the normal park, standing in front of
00:31:40
Speaker 1: the large tree they had run through earlier. The sun
00:31:47
Speaker 1: was shining brightly, and their owners were still sitting on
00:31:53
Speaker 1: a bench and chatting. Hector and Sunny walked slowly over
00:32:00
Speaker 1: to their owners and flopped at their feet. They yawned.
00:32:09
Speaker 1: Their owners gave the dogs a confused look and wondered
00:32:14
Speaker 1: why they were so tired. They shrugged. Their beloved dogs
00:32:22
Speaker 1: were a mystery to them. Sometimes the owners carried on chatting.
00:32:30
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny smiled happily at each other. Hector said,
00:32:39
Speaker 1: I wonder if something magical will happen to us the
00:32:43
Speaker 1: next time we come to the park. I think it will.
00:32:50
Speaker 1: What do you think, Sonny. Sonny didn't answer because she
00:32:57
Speaker 1: was already fast asleep. Hector fell asleep too. The two
00:33:07
Speaker 1: dogs dreamed about the wonderful day they'd had and how
00:33:14
Speaker 1: their dreams had come true in the most magical of ways.
