Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Cocoa Sleep, a podcast of
00:00:14
Speaker 1: original children spendtime stories and meditations designed to make bedtime
00:00:20
Speaker 1: a dream. Finally, a long last about time too. I
00:00:27
Speaker 1: think I can hear some far off woofing and chuckling.
00:00:32
Speaker 1: I think any minute now I know exactly who's going
00:00:36
Speaker 1: to swagger into the room, wagging his long, swishy tail,
00:00:41
Speaker 1: a little drop of gravy on his whiskers, and a
00:00:44
Speaker 1: big wide grin all over his face. He's on his
00:00:49
Speaker 1: way to settle down by the crackling fire with his
00:00:52
Speaker 1: best friend, a busy little spaniel with the lightest of eyes,
00:00:57
Speaker 1: busiest of brains, the kindest of hearts. Yes, that's right,
00:01:04
Speaker 1: settle down into your bed, as we're about to meet
00:01:07
Speaker 1: up again with our wonderful friends, Hector and Sonny. Our
00:01:14
Speaker 1: bedtime story Tonight starts on a lazy afternoon as they
00:01:18
Speaker 1: listen to Sonny's owner reading them a mystery story about
00:01:22
Speaker 1: a clever detective. The dogs wish they could become detectives,
00:01:28
Speaker 1: and to their surprise, the magical door appears. Now will
00:01:35
Speaker 1: they stay by the warm fire or will they go
00:01:39
Speaker 1: through the door an enter a world where they are
00:01:42
Speaker 1: indeed Detectives. The title might have just given it away.
00:01:48
Speaker 1: Lie back and relax as I begin. Hector and Sonny
00:01:53
Speaker 1: Become Detectives by Jillian Rogerson. It was a lazy Sunday
00:02:05
Speaker 1: afternoon and two dogs called Hector and Sonny were lying
00:02:09
Speaker 1: on a rug in front of a flickering fire. They
00:02:12
Speaker 1: were at Sonny's house and listening to her owner reading
00:02:16
Speaker 1: from one of her favorite mystery books. Sonny's owner had
00:02:20
Speaker 1: a very soothing voice, and the dogs often fell asleep
00:02:24
Speaker 1: while listening to her stories, but not that day. The
00:02:29
Speaker 1: mystery happening within the book had them hooked, and they
00:02:32
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. Would
00:02:36
Speaker 1: the clever detective solve the mystery? If so, how Sonny's
00:02:43
Speaker 1: owner came to the end of a chapter, she closed
00:02:46
Speaker 1: the book and placed it on the table next to her.
00:02:49
Speaker 1: She smiled over at the resting dogs and told them
00:02:53
Speaker 1: she was going to make herself a cup of tea
00:02:55
Speaker 1: and wouldn't be long. She stood up and left the room. Hector,
00:03:02
Speaker 1: a friendly golden retriever, looked at Sonnie and said, I
00:03:08
Speaker 1: love mystery stories. I wonder how this one is going
00:03:13
Speaker 1: to end. Sonny was a cocker Spaniel with beautiful blue
00:03:19
Speaker 1: eyes that sometimes turned green and sometimes gray. She said,
00:03:26
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear the ending, Hector, I wish
00:03:30
Speaker 1: weak are beef clever detective solving a mystery. Wouldn't that
00:03:34
Speaker 1: be amazing? Ah? She let out a wistful sigh and
00:03:41
Speaker 1: smiled softly. Hector's nose twitched. He sat up straight and
00:03:48
Speaker 1: sniffed the air. A familiar look came into his eyes.
00:03:54
Speaker 1: Sonny sat up and grinned at her friend, Hector, getting
00:04:00
Speaker 1: one of your feelings again? Are we about to go
00:04:05
Speaker 1: on another magical adventure? A slow smile spread across Hector's
00:04:12
Speaker 1: handsome face. He nodded and said, we certainly are. I
00:04:24
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of adventure yet, but it's going
00:04:29
Speaker 1: to happen very soon. Is he going to happen here?
00:04:36
Speaker 1: Sonny asked? Or do we need to go outside? If so,
00:04:42
Speaker 1: I can let out one of my special barks to
00:04:45
Speaker 1: let my owner know I want to go out for
00:04:48
Speaker 1: a walk. Hector was only half listening to his dear
00:04:53
Speaker 1: friend because he had spotted something unusual appearing on the wall.
00:04:59
Speaker 1: He his paw and said, Sonny, look. Sonny looked at
00:05:06
Speaker 1: where Hector had his attention. A new door had appeared
00:05:11
Speaker 1: right next to the living room door. It was silver
00:05:16
Speaker 1: and had a picture of Hector and Sonny on it.
00:05:20
Speaker 1: In the picture, the dogs were wearing trench coats and hats,
00:05:24
Speaker 1: just like the detective in the books war. Sonny gasped, Oh,
00:05:32
Speaker 1: it's a magical doorway. I wonder where it leads, and
00:05:39
Speaker 1: why do we look like that in the picture. She
00:05:44
Speaker 1: suddenly started laughing. Of course, it must be a door
00:05:49
Speaker 1: that leads to a magical world where we're actually detectives.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: It can't mean anything else, can it. Hector gave some
00:06:00
Speaker 1: admiring look and said he was impressed with her detective skills.
00:06:06
Speaker 1: Sonny said, thanks, Hector, are you ready to go on
00:06:11
Speaker 1: another adventure? Always? Hector replied with a grin. The world
00:06:19
Speaker 1: around them froze, and even the flames in the fire
00:06:24
Speaker 1: stopped in mid flicker. The dogs bounded over to the
00:06:29
Speaker 1: magical door. Hector opened it, and they stepped through the
00:06:33
Speaker 1: door and into another world, a world full of magic
00:06:37
Speaker 1: and wonder. They were inside an office. There were two
00:06:43
Speaker 1: large desks beneath a huge window, and behind the desks
00:06:48
Speaker 1: were chairs that looked the perfect eyes for two detective dogs.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: There was another door opposite the chairs, but it was
00:06:57
Speaker 1: a normal one and not at all magic. Framed photographs
00:07:03
Speaker 1: of Hector and Sonny were on the walls and showed
00:07:06
Speaker 1: them shaking paws with a variety of animals. A glass
00:07:11
Speaker 1: fronted fridge stood in the far corner and was filled
00:07:15
Speaker 1: with jugs of water and tasty snacks. In the other
00:07:20
Speaker 1: corner were two large cushions, ideal places to take a nap.
00:07:27
Speaker 1: There was also a coat stand where two dog sized
00:07:31
Speaker 1: trench coats were hanging and hats balanced on the top hooks.
00:07:38
Speaker 1: Sonny said, wow, Hector, look at this office. It must
00:07:46
Speaker 1: be ours. I wonder if those photos on the walls
00:07:52
Speaker 1: are of the animals we've helped. There are a lot
00:07:55
Speaker 1: of them. We must be very good detectives in this world.
00:08:02
Speaker 1: She walked over to the photos to get a better
00:08:04
Speaker 1: look at them. Hector ran towards the chairs and said,
00:08:10
Speaker 1: look at these, I wonder if they spin around. He
00:08:16
Speaker 1: leapt onto one of the chairs, put his paw on
00:08:19
Speaker 1: the desk, and gave himself a push. The chair began
00:08:23
Speaker 1: to spin around. Hector let out a whoop of delight.
00:08:29
Speaker 1: Sonny looked over at her spinning friend, and laughed. She
00:08:34
Speaker 1: ran over, jumped onto the other chair, and began to
00:08:37
Speaker 1: spin around too. At that very moment, the normal door
00:08:43
Speaker 1: in their office opened and their first client stepped through it.
00:08:49
Speaker 1: Hector was too busy spinning around to notice, but Sonny did.
00:08:55
Speaker 1: She brought herself to an abrupt stop and gave the
00:08:58
Speaker 1: client a small, embarrassed smile. When Hector still hadn't noticed
00:09:04
Speaker 1: their visitor, Sonny put her paw on his spinning chair
00:09:08
Speaker 1: and made it slow down. Hector finally came to a stop.
00:09:15
Speaker 1: He saw the client and let out an embarrassed chuckle.
00:09:19
Speaker 1: He said, sorry about that, we were just testing out
00:09:24
Speaker 1: the chairs. May we help you? In front of them
00:09:30
Speaker 1: stood an auburn furred puppy wearing denim shorts, an orange
00:09:35
Speaker 1: T shirt and a baseball hat. The puppy said, is
00:09:41
Speaker 1: this the Hector and Sonny Detective Agency. Hector immediately said, oh,
00:09:48
Speaker 1: I don't know. He looked at Sonny. She looked at him.
00:09:53
Speaker 1: Hector cleared his throat and said, yes, yes it is,
00:09:58
Speaker 1: and we Hector and Sonny. Can we help you with something?
00:10:06
Speaker 1: The puppy sighed, Oh, I don't know if my problem
00:10:11
Speaker 1: is too small for such important detectives like you two.
00:10:15
Speaker 1: I don't want to waste your time. Sonny jumped off
00:10:20
Speaker 1: her chair and walked over to the puppy. She pulled
00:10:24
Speaker 1: out a chair for him and asked him to sit down.
00:10:29
Speaker 1: Once he was seated, she said, no problem is too
00:10:33
Speaker 1: small for us. Why don't you tell us your name
00:10:37
Speaker 1: first and then what your problem is. She returned to
00:10:43
Speaker 1: her chair and waited for the puppy to speak. The
00:10:48
Speaker 1: puppy said, my name is Rufus, and this is my problem.
00:10:56
Speaker 1: He poured out a puzzle cube from his pocket. It
00:11:00
Speaker 1: had lots of mixed up colored squares on it. Rufus
00:11:04
Speaker 1: continued talking. I'm trying to put the same colors together,
00:11:11
Speaker 1: but I just can't do it. I keep the cube
00:11:15
Speaker 1: with me all the time, and I've spent the last
00:11:18
Speaker 1: few weeks trying to solve it. Whenever I get some
00:11:22
Speaker 1: spare time, I take my puzzle out and I have
00:11:24
Speaker 1: another go. Do you know how to solve this and
00:11:28
Speaker 1: can you show me how to do it please? Sonny
00:11:34
Speaker 1: slowly shook her head. She had seen the puzzle before,
00:11:39
Speaker 1: but didn't know how to solve it. Hector, however, knew
00:11:44
Speaker 1: what to do. He told Rufus that he'd seen the
00:11:48
Speaker 1: puzzle completed many times by some human friends of his,
00:11:53
Speaker 1: and they had shown Hector what to do. Hector had
00:11:59
Speaker 1: never tried to complete the puzzle himself, but he was
00:12:03
Speaker 1: sure it couldn't be that difficult. Hector moved over to
00:12:08
Speaker 1: Rufus and sat at his side. He took the cube
00:12:14
Speaker 1: and began to move the segments this way and that.
00:12:18
Speaker 1: Rufus watched his every move with great interest. Much to
00:12:25
Speaker 1: Hector's relief, he completed the puzzle in less than four minutes.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: Rufus was astonished and asked Hector to show him the
00:12:36
Speaker 1: moves again. Hector happily did so until the puppy was
00:12:41
Speaker 1: certain he would remember them. After solving the puzzle himself
00:12:46
Speaker 1: a few times, the happy puppy was ready to leave
00:12:50
Speaker 1: the office. He thanked the kind dogs and walked over
00:12:55
Speaker 1: to the door. He put his little paw on the handle,
00:12:59
Speaker 1: but then hesitated. Sonnie instinctively knew there was something else
00:13:06
Speaker 1: on his mind. She went over to Rufus and softly
00:13:12
Speaker 1: asked if he needed help with anything else. Rufus turned
00:13:17
Speaker 1: his puppy eyes to her and said, I've lost my
00:13:23
Speaker 1: Mum's best socks somewhere in the back garden. I love
00:13:28
Speaker 1: hiding socks in the garden and I always remember where
00:13:32
Speaker 1: I put them, but not this time. I can't even
00:13:37
Speaker 1: remember when I lost them. Mum said it was okay,
00:13:43
Speaker 1: and that she has plenty of other socks, but I
00:13:47
Speaker 1: would really like to find them. Could you help me
00:13:52
Speaker 1: with that. Sonny broke into a wide smile and told
00:13:59
Speaker 1: Rufus she was an expert when it came to finding
00:14:04
Speaker 1: lost socks and hiding them too when needed. She asked
00:14:10
Speaker 1: if it was okay for them to visit Rufus's home
00:14:14
Speaker 1: and searched the back garden. Rufus smiled and said yes,
00:14:19
Speaker 1: and added that his home wasn't far away. Hector and
00:14:24
Speaker 1: Sonny left their offices with their client. It was too
00:14:29
Speaker 1: warm to wear their trench coats, but they popped their
00:14:32
Speaker 1: hats on and felt very much like professional detectives. As
00:14:38
Speaker 1: they walked along the pavement towards Rufus's home, Hector noticed
00:14:44
Speaker 1: a double decker bus driving past. There was an advertising
00:14:49
Speaker 1: poster on the side of it. Hector grinned and pointed
00:14:54
Speaker 1: it out to Sonny. Sonny laughed when she saw it.
00:14:58
Speaker 1: It was an advertisement for their detective agency, and their
00:15:02
Speaker 1: smiling faces looked out at them from the poster as
00:15:06
Speaker 1: the bus drove on by. I soon arrived at Rufus's house.
00:15:13
Speaker 1: He quickly introduced Sonnie and Hector to his mom, who
00:15:17
Speaker 1: was pruning some roses in the back garden. When she
00:15:22
Speaker 1: found out why they were there, she said, Oh, really,
00:15:27
Speaker 1: there's no need to find my socks. I have plenty more.
00:15:33
Speaker 1: Sonny replied by saying she knew how important socks were
00:15:38
Speaker 1: and that finding a lost pair shouldn't take her that long. Hopefully.
00:15:45
Speaker 1: Hector kindly told Rufus and his mom to stand to
00:15:49
Speaker 1: one side and let Sonny do her thing. Sonny stood
00:15:55
Speaker 1: at the center of the garden carefully looked around it.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: There were some places that weren't at all suitable for
00:16:06
Speaker 1: hiding things in, and some places that were perfect. She
00:16:12
Speaker 1: slowly walked around the garden and examined those places where
00:16:16
Speaker 1: a pair of socks might be hidden. Alas she didn't
00:16:21
Speaker 1: find anything, then she remembered something Rufus had said in
00:16:28
Speaker 1: their office earlier. She strolled around the garden again, and
00:16:34
Speaker 1: by using all of her new detective skills, she worked
00:16:39
Speaker 1: out where the missing socks might possibly be Sonny walked
00:16:45
Speaker 1: over to a tree and looked at the grass around
00:16:49
Speaker 1: the bottom of it. She ran her pow through the
00:16:53
Speaker 1: longest part of the grass. Ahh, there was something soft
00:17:00
Speaker 1: and wooly there. She looked closer, moved the grass to
00:17:06
Speaker 1: one side and found a pair of pink socks. She
00:17:11
Speaker 1: picked them up and said, are these the missing socks?
00:17:17
Speaker 1: Rufus's mum clapped her paws in delight and said yes.
00:17:23
Speaker 1: Rufus was astounded and asked Sonny how she knew where
00:17:28
Speaker 1: to look. Sonny waved her poor the patch of flattened
00:17:33
Speaker 1: grass in front of the tree. She said, this place
00:17:39
Speaker 1: is in a shady area and is the perfect place
00:17:43
Speaker 1: for a puppy to sit if he's trying to solve
00:17:46
Speaker 1: a cube shaped puzzle. You told us that you've been
00:17:51
Speaker 1: trying to solve the puzzle for weeks. Did you sometimes
00:17:56
Speaker 1: sit under this tree whilst doing that? Rufus nodded and
00:18:03
Speaker 1: explained he had sat there every day trying to solve
00:18:07
Speaker 1: the puzzle. Sonny smiled and continued, explaining, the grass where
00:18:15
Speaker 1: you've been sitting has become flattened, but the grass behind
00:18:20
Speaker 1: it where I found the socks, is much longer. I
00:18:25
Speaker 1: suspect you came out here a few weeks ago with
00:18:29
Speaker 1: your mum's socks, planning to hide them. But before you
00:18:34
Speaker 1: could do that, you started to think about your puzzle again,
00:18:39
Speaker 1: so you sat down, put the socks behind you, and
00:18:44
Speaker 1: focused all your attention on your puzzle. You completely forgot
00:18:50
Speaker 1: about the socks until you realized they were missing some
00:18:54
Speaker 1: time later, but by then the grass had grown and
00:19:00
Speaker 1: covered up the socks. Am I right? Rufus's eyes widen.
00:19:08
Speaker 1: He said, yes, you are, That's exactly what happened. I
00:19:15
Speaker 1: remember now. I was going to hide the socks in
00:19:20
Speaker 1: the branches of that tree, because it's one of my
00:19:23
Speaker 1: favorite places to hide things. But then I sat down
00:19:28
Speaker 1: and thought i'd try to solve my puzzle again. When
00:19:32
Speaker 1: I realized I'd lost the socks, I looked in all
00:19:36
Speaker 1: my usual hiding places, but under the tree isn't one
00:19:40
Speaker 1: of them, so I never looked there. He smiled at
00:19:45
Speaker 1: Sonnie and said she was an amazing detective. Hector and
00:19:51
Speaker 1: Rufus's mum agreed. Sonnie gave them a shy smile and
00:19:58
Speaker 1: said it was nothing. She gave the socks to Rufus,
00:20:02
Speaker 1: who then gave them to his mom, who then said
00:20:06
Speaker 1: she would give them a wash. Sonny said, Hector and
00:20:13
Speaker 1: I will be on our way now. There might be
00:20:16
Speaker 1: other clients who need our help. Rufus and his mom
00:20:21
Speaker 1: thanked the detective duo. Hector and Sonny said good bye
00:20:27
Speaker 1: and walked out of their garden. They headed back along
00:20:32
Speaker 1: the pavement towards their office. They hadn't got very far
00:20:37
Speaker 1: when they were stopped by a monkey wearing a red
00:20:40
Speaker 1: jumpsuit and yellow shoes. He said hello to the dogs
00:20:45
Speaker 1: and asked if they were Hector and Sonny from the
00:20:48
Speaker 1: famous detective agency. The dogs nodded and asked if they
00:20:53
Speaker 1: could help the monkey. The monkey sighed and said he
00:20:58
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if he this problem was too small for
00:21:02
Speaker 1: the dogs. Sonny said no problem was too small for them.
00:21:08
Speaker 1: She asked for the monkey's name and if he could
00:21:11
Speaker 1: give them more details about his problem. The monkey told
00:21:17
Speaker 1: them he was called Mateo, and then he explained, I've
00:21:22
Speaker 1: got a five hundred piece jigsaw puzzle a home, but
00:21:27
Speaker 1: I accidentally throughout the top part of the box which
00:21:32
Speaker 1: had a picture on it, and now I can't remember
00:21:36
Speaker 1: what the picture was off. I think it was a forest,
00:21:41
Speaker 1: but I'm not certain. Can you help me put the
00:21:47
Speaker 1: jigsaw puzzle together? Please? Have we got time to do that?
00:21:53
Speaker 1: Hector said they had plenty of time and asked if
00:21:57
Speaker 1: Mateo could take them to his home. The Monkey's face
00:22:02
Speaker 1: filled with joy and he said yes, he could do that.
00:22:08
Speaker 1: He skipped along the pavement, swinging his arms happily. Hector
00:22:14
Speaker 1: and Sonny followed him. They soon arrived at Matteo's tree house,
00:22:19
Speaker 1: where he lived with his family. Hector and Sonny looked
00:22:24
Speaker 1: up at the tall treehouse and wondered how they were
00:22:28
Speaker 1: going to climb it. They were mightily relieved when Mateo
00:22:33
Speaker 1: told them there was a lift built into the tree
00:22:36
Speaker 1: trunk and it was big enough for them all to
00:22:38
Speaker 1: fit into. Upwards, they went and soon stepped out onto
00:22:45
Speaker 1: a wooden porch that surrounded the cozy treehouse. Mateo took
00:22:51
Speaker 1: them inside and introduced them to his parents, his brother,
00:22:56
Speaker 1: and his auntie. Matteo's family were glad to see Hector
00:23:01
Speaker 1: and Sonny because they had all tried to put the
00:23:04
Speaker 1: jigsaw puzzle together, but hadn't been able to manage it,
00:23:08
Speaker 1: no matter how hard they had tried. Hector and Sonny
00:23:14
Speaker 1: shared a concerned look. They were thinking the same thing.
00:23:20
Speaker 1: They really hoped they would be able to put the
00:23:23
Speaker 1: jigsaw puzzle together. Mateo took the dogs into the living
00:23:28
Speaker 1: room and over to a table that was covered in
00:23:31
Speaker 1: jigsaw pieces. Hector and Sonny shared another concerned look. There
00:23:39
Speaker 1: were a lot of pieces. Matteo knelt at the side
00:23:45
Speaker 1: of the table and pointed to a small section of
00:23:49
Speaker 1: the puzzle that had been completed. He proudly said, look,
00:23:56
Speaker 1: I managed to do that part of the puzzle and
00:24:00
Speaker 1: put together a picture of a koala. I think he's
00:24:06
Speaker 1: standing on a porch, but I don't think he lives
00:24:11
Speaker 1: in a tree house like me. Sonny and Hector peered
00:24:17
Speaker 1: at the smiling image of the little koala. They looked
00:24:21
Speaker 1: at each other and started laughing. They told Matteo they
00:24:26
Speaker 1: knew who the koala was. He was called Coco, and
00:24:31
Speaker 1: they had met him a few months ago. They had
00:24:34
Speaker 1: been to his house too, and knew what it looked like.
00:24:39
Speaker 1: Matteo grinned and let out a cheer. The dog detectives
00:24:46
Speaker 1: sat on either side of the monkey and looked closer
00:24:50
Speaker 1: at the puzzle pieces. They described Coco's house, so that
00:24:55
Speaker 1: Matteo knew what to look out for With great concentration,
00:25:02
Speaker 1: the dogs and the monkey found the correct pieces that
00:25:06
Speaker 1: made up Coco's cabin and put them together. They soon
00:25:12
Speaker 1: discovered that Coco's family were also in the picture and
00:25:17
Speaker 1: were standing at Coco's side. They continued working on the
00:25:23
Speaker 1: jigsaw and slowly began to put the rest of it together.
00:25:29
Speaker 1: As they worked, Hector and Sonny told Matteo about their
00:25:34
Speaker 1: visit to the place where Coco lived, a magical place
00:25:39
Speaker 1: called Sleepy Forest. When the puzzle had been completed, the
00:25:46
Speaker 1: two dogs and the monkey stood up and took a
00:25:50
Speaker 1: good look at it. The picture showed the happy Koala
00:25:55
Speaker 1: family standing on the porch of their cabin in the
00:25:59
Speaker 1: middle of Sleepy Forest. In the background were some of
00:26:05
Speaker 1: Koco's friends, including a sleepy sloth in a tree and
00:26:10
Speaker 1: a rainbow colored chameleon resting on a rock. Matteo's family
00:26:17
Speaker 1: came into the living room and admired the completed puzzle.
00:26:23
Speaker 1: They said Hector and Sonny were amazing detectives and thanked
00:26:28
Speaker 1: them for their help. The dogs said they were more
00:26:32
Speaker 1: than welcome and that it had been fun putting the
00:26:35
Speaker 1: puzzle together. They said goodbye and returned to the ground.
00:26:40
Speaker 1: Using the lift, Hector and Sonny walked along the pavement
00:26:46
Speaker 1: again in the direction of their office. Along the way,
00:26:52
Speaker 1: other animals stopped them and asked for their help. Hector
00:26:57
Speaker 1: and Sonny said yes to all of them and tried
00:27:01
Speaker 1: their best to solve whatever mystery arose. They helped a
00:27:06
Speaker 1: gray cat called nick Knack, who had lost her favorite collar.
00:27:11
Speaker 1: After visiting her house and finding out what she'd done
00:27:15
Speaker 1: that day, Hector discovered that nick Knack could put her
00:27:19
Speaker 1: collar in the fridge by mistake, and that she'd put
00:27:23
Speaker 1: the milk from the fridge on top of her jewelry box.
00:27:28
Speaker 1: Nick Knack shook her head at herself and said, ah,
00:27:33
Speaker 1: I am so sorry about that. I've never done anything
00:27:39
Speaker 1: like that before. It must be because i haven't slept
00:27:44
Speaker 1: well these last few nights and I'm not thinking straight.
00:27:51
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny always had a good night's sleep and
00:27:55
Speaker 1: offered the cats and bedtime tips and said snuggling down
00:27:59
Speaker 1: in their beds and listening to a bedtime story always
00:28:04
Speaker 1: helped them fall asleep. Nick Knack said she would try
00:28:09
Speaker 1: all of those things and thanked the dogs. The cat yawned.
00:28:17
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny did too. The dogs said good bye
00:28:22
Speaker 1: and went on their way. The next animal who needed
00:28:27
Speaker 1: their help was an elephant called Eliana. She had lost
00:28:31
Speaker 1: her straw hat somewhere in town, but couldn't remember where
00:28:35
Speaker 1: she'd last had it. It was her favorite hat and
00:28:39
Speaker 1: had been a present from her mum. Once again, Hector
00:28:45
Speaker 1: asked their client about her day and what she had
00:28:48
Speaker 1: been doing. Ellianna couldn't remember that either, so Sonny suggested
00:28:55
Speaker 1: they started her house and retrace her steps. Sonny's plan worked,
00:29:02
Speaker 1: and after retracing Elliana's journey that day, they found her
00:29:07
Speaker 1: straw hat at the swimming pool. She'd taken it off
00:29:11
Speaker 1: to have a dip in the water because she didn't
00:29:14
Speaker 1: want to get it wet. With her hat back on
00:29:18
Speaker 1: her head, Eliana thanked the dogs and said, I am
00:29:24
Speaker 1: sorry about that. I've never lost my hat before, and
00:29:30
Speaker 1: I'm usually very good at remembering where I've been. It
00:29:35
Speaker 1: must be because i haven't slept very well recently and
00:29:41
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking straight. Sonny and Hector said she wasn't
00:29:47
Speaker 1: the only one who wasn't sleeping well, and they shared
00:29:50
Speaker 1: their sleeping tips again. Eliana smiled and said she would
00:29:56
Speaker 1: try those things that very night. Eleana yawned. Hector and
00:30:04
Speaker 1: Sonny did too. The detective dogs made it back to
00:30:10
Speaker 1: their office building without anyone else needing their help. The
00:30:15
Speaker 1: tired friends yawned all the way back, and when they
00:30:20
Speaker 1: entered their office, they agreed it was time to go
00:30:24
Speaker 1: back to Sonny's house. They hung their detective hats on
00:30:29
Speaker 1: the stand, took one last look at their office, and
00:30:35
Speaker 1: walked through the magical silver door and back into their
00:30:40
Speaker 1: own world. As soon as they were back in Sonny's
00:30:45
Speaker 1: living room, the silver door disappeared and time unfroze. The
00:30:53
Speaker 1: sleepy dogs settled down on the soft rug in front
00:30:58
Speaker 1: of the flickering fire. Sonny said, that was a wonderful adventure.
00:31:08
Speaker 1: I loved being a detective me too. Hector agreed, Maybe
00:31:17
Speaker 1: we'll go back to our office again in the future
00:31:21
Speaker 1: and solve more mysteries. Sonny said that was a lovely thought.
00:31:29
Speaker 1: She smiled at her best friend, closed her eyes and
00:31:34
Speaker 1: fell asleep. Hector closed his eyes and fell asleep too.
00:31:42
Speaker 1: Sonny's owner came into the room carrying a mug of tea.
00:31:47
Speaker 1: She looked at the sleeping dogs in surprise. They never
00:31:52
Speaker 1: fell asleep. When she was reading one of her mystery
00:31:55
Speaker 1: stories to them, and always stayed awake until she reached
00:32:00
Speaker 1: the end, how mysterious. She smiled softly at Hector and
00:32:08
Speaker 1: Sonny and returned to her chair. She was happy to
00:32:14
Speaker 1: let sleeping dogs lie. She read her book for a
00:32:18
Speaker 1: while longer, but the soft snores coming from the dreaming
00:32:23
Speaker 1: dogs made her feel so delightfully tired. She put her
00:32:30
Speaker 1: book down, leaned back in the chair, and gently drifted
00:32:39
Speaker 1: into a peaceful sleep.
