Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Coco Sleep, a brand new
00:00:14
Speaker 1: podcast of original children's bedtime stories designed to make bedtime
00:00:20
Speaker 1: a dream just talking to your adult for one second.
00:00:27
Speaker 1: If this podcast helps your little one sleep, please find
00:00:30
Speaker 1: the time to leave us a short review. It will
00:00:34
Speaker 1: help our stories reach more people and will be so
00:00:37
Speaker 1: grateful that you did. Wow, it's really not long now
00:00:42
Speaker 1: until Christmas, and here in England there's one thing I
00:00:47
Speaker 1: long to see when I open my eyes every Christmas morning,
00:00:52
Speaker 1: but for me it still hasn't happened yet. Can you
00:00:56
Speaker 1: guess what it is? It's white, very cold and makes
00:01:03
Speaker 1: everything look beautiful. That's right, it's snow. Does it get
00:01:09
Speaker 1: cold and snow where you are or is it toasty
00:01:13
Speaker 1: all ye alone? Well, as you know, Coco the Koala
00:01:19
Speaker 1: had a very cozy Christmas in the previous episode, and
00:01:23
Speaker 1: we thought you'd like to hear what the Jupiter twins
00:01:26
Speaker 1: are getting up to at this time of year. So
00:01:30
Speaker 1: once again we're leaving Sleepy Forest and traveling through snowy
00:01:35
Speaker 1: skies with Lily and Jake Jupiter, who were on a
00:01:40
Speaker 1: mission to help Santa. Their journey takes them through an
00:01:45
Speaker 1: enchanted forest where they meet some delightful new friends. So
00:01:52
Speaker 1: before I begin, relax into your bed, close your eyes
00:01:58
Speaker 1: and imagine a wonderland, which is where we start this
00:02:03
Speaker 1: episode of The Jupiter Twins A Snowy Night by Julian Rogerson.
00:02:16
Speaker 1: On an afternoon in late December, Lily and Jake Jupiter
00:02:21
Speaker 1: walked towards the hall of the Leora Academy. The twins
00:02:26
Speaker 1: entered the hall and looked around them in astonishment. The
00:02:32
Speaker 1: large room had been transformed into a magical winter wonderland.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: Dozens of students gazed in wonder at the spectacular sights
00:02:42
Speaker 1: which surrounded them. Snow Covered trees lined the edges of
00:02:47
Speaker 1: the room. They were festooned with glittering tinsel and strings
00:02:52
Speaker 1: of twinkling fairy lights. Delicate crystal baubles dangled from branches
00:02:59
Speaker 1: and swear gently, making them jingle like bells. Upturned logs
00:03:06
Speaker 1: covered in light layers of shimmering frost were placed around
00:03:10
Speaker 1: the room and provided places to sit. In front of
00:03:15
Speaker 1: the logs were floating beams of polished wood upon which
00:03:20
Speaker 1: red and green dishes had been placed. The bowls contained
00:03:25
Speaker 1: a mouthwatering array of ripe, juicy fruit and glistening orbs
00:03:30
Speaker 1: of chocolate that were lightly dusted with gold icing sugar.
00:03:36
Speaker 1: Knitted stockings drifted through the air, each one embroidered with
00:03:41
Speaker 1: the name of a student at the School of Magic.
00:03:45
Speaker 1: The stockings floated towards the snow covered trees and affixed
00:03:50
Speaker 1: themselves to branches. Mouth watering scents of spiced cake and
00:03:57
Speaker 1: freshly baked mince pies fragrance the afar. Looking upwards, the
00:04:03
Speaker 1: twins saw a night sky blanketed with shimmering stars. A
00:04:09
Speaker 1: couple of fluffy white clouds moved across the sky, and
00:04:14
Speaker 1: a few seconds later, snowflakes began to fall from them.
00:04:21
Speaker 1: The sight of the falling snow caused gasps of amazement
00:04:26
Speaker 1: to come from the students. Instinctively, the pupils held their
00:04:31
Speaker 1: hands out to catch the first snowflakes. Delicate snowflakes landed
00:04:37
Speaker 1: in their open palms. The flakes twinkled for a moment
00:04:42
Speaker 1: before disappearing. The falling snow created a soft covering on
00:04:49
Speaker 1: the floor. The twins pressed their feet into it, hearing
00:04:55
Speaker 1: the light crunch of snow beneath their shoes. Just as
00:05:00
Speaker 1: swiftly as the snow had arrived, the falling flake stopped.
00:05:06
Speaker 1: There was an audible sigh of dismay from the pupils,
00:05:10
Speaker 1: but it didn't last for long because mugs of hot
00:05:13
Speaker 1: chocolates appeared before each person, ready to be taken into
00:05:17
Speaker 1: their hands. Lily took a hold of the mug in
00:05:21
Speaker 1: front of her and noticed it contained tiny marshmallows, which
00:05:26
Speaker 1: bobbed on the surface of the chocolatey liquid. Looking over
00:05:31
Speaker 1: at Jake's cup, she saw that it contained a small
00:05:35
Speaker 1: mountain of whipped cream. Perfect Jake announced he took a
00:05:42
Speaker 1: sip of the drink, giving himself a white mustache in
00:05:45
Speaker 1: the process. The pupils in the room made their way
00:05:51
Speaker 1: to the log seats and sat down. Some cups were
00:05:55
Speaker 1: placed on the hovering tables, but most were kept cradled
00:05:59
Speaker 1: in hands. The head teacher, doctor Eleanor Howard, entered the Wonderland.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Her long navy hair was embellished with sparkling star shaped gems.
00:06:15
Speaker 1: She was wearing a floor length dress made of red
00:06:19
Speaker 1: velvet edged with a silver sequin trim. Her sapphire eyes
00:06:26
Speaker 1: seemed to twinkle more than the stars in the navy
00:06:29
Speaker 1: sky above her. She looked around the room and smiled
00:06:34
Speaker 1: in appreciation. She told the students there would be no
00:06:39
Speaker 1: more lessons that day, and they should enjoy their afternoon
00:06:43
Speaker 1: in the hall. She reassured them the snowfall would return
00:06:49
Speaker 1: every hour. Her gaze rested upon the twins and she
00:06:55
Speaker 1: walked towards them. She bade them a good afternoon and
00:07:00
Speaker 1: asked if they could do something for them. She explained
00:07:05
Speaker 1: how a special friend of hers needed help of a
00:07:08
Speaker 1: magical nature. Doctor Howard cast a glance around the enchanted
00:07:16
Speaker 1: room and said she didn't want to take the twins
00:07:20
Speaker 1: away from it, not if they didn't want to go,
00:07:23
Speaker 1: and it was a matter which could wait a little longer.
00:07:28
Speaker 1: The twins quickly shared a look of understanding. They never
00:07:34
Speaker 1: missed an opportunity to use their magical skills. Lily put
00:07:41
Speaker 1: her empty mug on the floating table in front of
00:07:44
Speaker 1: her and asked, what would you like us to do?
00:07:49
Speaker 1: Doctor Howard clicked her fingers and a faded red book
00:07:54
Speaker 1: appeared out of nowhere. She plucked it from the air
00:07:59
Speaker 1: and gave it to Lily. Return this to the library
00:08:04
Speaker 1: across the road. Please wrap up warmly before you set off.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: You must ensure the book goes back on the correct shelf.
00:08:15
Speaker 1: The librarian will show you where to place it. From
00:08:20
Speaker 1: there you will know what to do with those puzzling
00:08:25
Speaker 1: last words. The head teacher left the hall. Lily looked
00:08:31
Speaker 1: at the red book cover. There were no words on it.
00:08:36
Speaker 1: She checked the spine, but that too was blank. Jake
00:08:41
Speaker 1: looked over her shoulder as Lily flicked through the pages.
00:08:46
Speaker 1: There wasn't a single word anywhere. They made a quick
00:08:53
Speaker 1: stop to their rooms to collect their coats. Bearing in
00:08:58
Speaker 1: mind Doctor Howard's words about wrapping up warm, they gathered
00:09:04
Speaker 1: their hats, scarves, and gloves, even though the December weather
00:09:10
Speaker 1: was mild that day, with no hint of snow on
00:09:13
Speaker 1: the way. They left the school, crossed Calverley Street and
00:09:21
Speaker 1: entered Leeds Central Library. Once inside, they walked into the
00:09:28
Speaker 1: main landing area and looked around it. Lily whispered to Jake,
00:09:36
Speaker 1: there are three librarians. Which one should we talk to?
00:09:43
Speaker 1: Jake smiled and pointed to the left that one. She's
00:09:49
Speaker 1: got wings, but they're very faint. Can you see them?
00:09:54
Speaker 1: Lily squinted as if that would help. A woman wear
00:10:00
Speaker 1: carrying a green dress was placing a book back onto
00:10:04
Speaker 1: the shelf in front of her. There was a light,
00:10:08
Speaker 1: shimmering haze across her back. Lily focused more and soon
00:10:15
Speaker 1: made out the shape of fluttering wings and came to
00:10:19
Speaker 1: the conclusion the librarian was a fairy. Supernatural beings of
00:10:27
Speaker 1: all kinds lived and worked around the city, but only
00:10:32
Speaker 1: those with magical abilities like Jake and Lily could see them.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: The twins crossed the room and approached the librarian. She
00:10:46
Speaker 1: heard their footsteps and turned around, a ready smile on
00:10:51
Speaker 1: her face. Before the twins could say a word, she
00:10:56
Speaker 1: put a finger to her lips and moved to the
00:10:59
Speaker 1: fire side of the room. She stopped at a line
00:11:04
Speaker 1: of shelves. Lily and Jake followed her, still silent. The
00:11:12
Speaker 1: librarian pointed to a narrow gap in the books before her.
00:11:19
Speaker 1: She gave the book in Lily's hand a pointed look,
00:11:23
Speaker 1: and then soundlessly tapped the shelf. Lily carefully placed the
00:11:31
Speaker 1: book into the gap, not sure what to expect. The
00:11:37
Speaker 1: librarian gave her a satisfied smile and then walked away.
00:11:43
Speaker 1: The twins stared at the shelf. Now what, Lily asked quietly.
00:11:54
Speaker 1: The shelf of books slowly opened like a door. A
00:12:00
Speaker 1: old breeze touched their cheeks, and a single snowflake fluttered
00:12:06
Speaker 1: through the opening and landed at their feet. The twins
00:12:11
Speaker 1: looked at each other and raised their eyebrows in question.
00:12:17
Speaker 1: Jake said we should go through. Lily nodded. They walked
00:12:23
Speaker 1: through the opening and into the brightly lit tunnel. They
00:12:27
Speaker 1: walked along it. The carpet beneath their feet was soon
00:12:32
Speaker 1: replaced with a blanket of soft snow. They came to
00:12:37
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel and discovered they were in
00:12:40
Speaker 1: a different world. The landscape in front of them consisted
00:12:46
Speaker 1: of rolling hills and tall mountains. A thick blanket of
00:12:51
Speaker 1: glistening snow lay over everything. A cable car was waiting
00:12:59
Speaker 1: for them. Its door opened and the twins felt a
00:13:04
Speaker 1: rush of warm air coming from within it. They entered
00:13:08
Speaker 1: the carriage and walked to the front so that they
00:13:11
Speaker 1: could look at the picturesque panorama. The door to the
00:13:16
Speaker 1: cable car closed and the vehicle set off along the
00:13:21
Speaker 1: suspended wire which stretched out over the snowy fields and
00:13:27
Speaker 1: beyond the mountains. Lily and Jake rested their gloved hands
00:13:33
Speaker 1: on the window and took in the snowy landscape. The
00:13:38
Speaker 1: sky was full of fluffy, snow filled clouds, and, as
00:13:45
Speaker 1: if on que, flakes began to fall softly. Some landed
00:13:51
Speaker 1: on the window of the cable car and displayed their beautiful,
00:13:56
Speaker 1: delicate patterns. The cable car moved smoothly towards the mountains
00:14:04
Speaker 1: and went over the top of them. On the other
00:14:08
Speaker 1: side was a small village that was illuminated with sparkling
00:14:13
Speaker 1: fairy lights and old fashioned street lanterns. Cozy looking homes
00:14:20
Speaker 1: circled a large lake that was frozen over. People clad
00:14:26
Speaker 1: in colorful winter clothes skated expertly across the glistening ice
00:14:33
Speaker 1: of the lake. Lily pressed her face against the window. Jake,
00:14:42
Speaker 1: are those elves? Jake looked closer. They are. He spotted
00:14:50
Speaker 1: someone at the far side of the village, Lily, do
00:14:55
Speaker 1: you think doctor Howard's friend, the one who needs help
00:15:00
Speaker 1: might be Santa. Lily looked at her brother. Why are
00:15:07
Speaker 1: you asking that? Because he's sitting outside a house over there.
00:15:14
Speaker 1: Jake smiled, and he's waving at us. Lily put her
00:15:20
Speaker 1: attention on where Jack was looking. She broke into a smile.
00:15:27
Speaker 1: It is center, Jake, It's Center, I know, and he's
00:15:36
Speaker 1: waving at us. I know. The cable car took them
00:15:41
Speaker 1: closer to the village and slowly descended to a small
00:15:46
Speaker 1: station not far from the lake. It came to a
00:15:51
Speaker 1: smooth stop when the door opened. The twins left the
00:15:56
Speaker 1: cable car and began to walk towards towards the village,
00:16:01
Speaker 1: uncertain as to why they were there. Their uncertainty didn't
00:16:07
Speaker 1: last long. The elves of the village stopped what they
00:16:13
Speaker 1: were doing and turned in the twins direction. Jubilant calls
00:16:19
Speaker 1: of hello filled the air, and arms were waved with
00:16:24
Speaker 1: great enthusiasm. Santa appeared behind the jolly else and smiled
00:16:31
Speaker 1: at the twins. Merriment twinkled in his friendly eyes. He
00:16:37
Speaker 1: held his arms out Jake, Lily, welcome. Dr Howard said,
00:16:45
Speaker 1: you were on your way. It's an absolute delight to
00:16:50
Speaker 1: have you here. Before we get down to business, would
00:16:56
Speaker 1: you like some hot chocolate? The twins briefly wondered if
00:17:01
Speaker 1: there was such a thing as having too much hot
00:17:04
Speaker 1: chocolate in one day. They decided it wasn't and so
00:17:09
Speaker 1: said yes please to Santa. Two elves swiftly appeared at
00:17:15
Speaker 1: the twins side and handed them full mugs. Santa asked
00:17:21
Speaker 1: the twins to follow him to his workshop, where his
00:17:25
Speaker 1: sleigh was parked. As they walked across the soft snow.
00:17:31
Speaker 1: Lily and Jake looked left and right at the cheerful village.
00:17:37
Speaker 1: The snow glistened and glimmered like litter. They felt like
00:17:42
Speaker 1: they'd landed in the middle of a beautiful Christmas card.
00:17:48
Speaker 1: They reached Santa's workshop and went inside. A huge red
00:17:55
Speaker 1: sleigh almost filled the area. It's poly gold runners sparkled
00:18:02
Speaker 1: under the light of the fairy lights. They were strewn
00:18:06
Speaker 1: throughout the workshop. Santa moved closer to the sleigh and
00:18:13
Speaker 1: pointed to the red velvet seat inside. The material was
00:18:20
Speaker 1: threadbare and bits of shimmering stuffing were peeping out of
00:18:25
Speaker 1: various holes. Santa said, I should have had this fixed
00:18:33
Speaker 1: years ago, but I kept putting it off. Your head
00:18:37
Speaker 1: teacher visited me last month and saw the condition it
00:18:41
Speaker 1: was in. She said she knew just the people to
00:18:46
Speaker 1: help me fix it. He turned his smile on them,
00:18:52
Speaker 1: and here you are. Jake put his empty cup down
00:18:57
Speaker 1: on a shelf. I'm not very good at sewing, but
00:19:02
Speaker 1: I'll give it a go, Santa chuckled, causing his tummy
00:19:09
Speaker 1: to wobble like a jelly. I don't need your sewing help,
00:19:14
Speaker 1: young Jake. It's your magical assistance. I need. This velvet
00:19:21
Speaker 1: is a special one and it comes from a robin
00:19:25
Speaker 1: who lives in the enchanted forest. If I give you
00:19:31
Speaker 1: the directions, could you go there now and speak to
00:19:35
Speaker 1: the robin You need to capture her song. Before the
00:19:42
Speaker 1: twins could ask Santa to explain further, a collection of
00:19:47
Speaker 1: chattering elves rushed into the workshop and asked for his help.
00:19:55
Speaker 1: Santa quickly gave the twins directions to the robin and
00:20:00
Speaker 1: thanked them for their help. The bewildered twins left the
00:20:06
Speaker 1: workshop and headed into the enchanted forest. Twinkling lights shone
00:20:13
Speaker 1: from every tree. The snow continued to fall softly, The
00:20:21
Speaker 1: sky began to darken, and the stars shone more brightly.
00:20:28
Speaker 1: A heartwarming song filled the air. Lily tipped her head
00:20:35
Speaker 1: and said it sounded like a robin's song. They presently
00:20:42
Speaker 1: came upon a robin sitting on a branch of a tree.
00:20:47
Speaker 1: She stopped singing and looked at the twins. Her voice
00:20:53
Speaker 1: was light and melodic. Hello, there, I've been expecting so
00:21:00
Speaker 1: one to call by at some point. Is your visit
00:21:05
Speaker 1: to do with the seat in Santa's sleigh? The twins nodded,
00:21:13
Speaker 1: are you ready, the little bird asked. Lily and Jake
00:21:19
Speaker 1: didn't know what they were supposed to be ready for,
00:21:23
Speaker 1: but they nodded anyway. The robin began to sing a
00:21:29
Speaker 1: different song. Its tune was clear and joyful. The twins
00:21:37
Speaker 1: listened for a while, half expecting something to happen. When
00:21:42
Speaker 1: it didn't, Jake whispered to Lily. Santa said, we have
00:21:50
Speaker 1: to capture her song. I think I know a spell
00:21:55
Speaker 1: that will help us do that. Jake called to mind
00:21:59
Speaker 1: the spell and quietly said the words. The tune coming
00:22:05
Speaker 1: from the robin turned into visible lines of long red threads,
00:22:12
Speaker 1: which twirled in the air. They were the same color
00:22:17
Speaker 1: as the seat in Santa's sleigh. The robin's song continued,
00:22:24
Speaker 1: and more threads appeared. The threads entwined with each other
00:22:30
Speaker 1: and formed a large ball of yarn. The bird glanced
00:22:36
Speaker 1: at the ball. She stopped singing and said there was
00:22:41
Speaker 1: enough material for a new seat covering to be woven.
00:22:46
Speaker 1: She told the twins to take the ball to the
00:22:50
Speaker 1: snoozy polar bear, who lived on the other side of
00:22:54
Speaker 1: the river. She tipped her head in goodbye and flew away.
00:23:01
Speaker 1: Jake took the red ball from the air and put
00:23:05
Speaker 1: it in his pocket. The twins walked towards the river
00:23:11
Speaker 1: and crossed the wooden bridge which spanned it. Further along,
00:23:17
Speaker 1: they came across a friendly looking polar bear who was
00:23:22
Speaker 1: leaning against the open door of her cottage. She welcomed
00:23:27
Speaker 1: the twins and said the robin had stopped by to
00:23:31
Speaker 1: say they were on their way. She smiled when Jake
00:23:36
Speaker 1: produced the ball of red threads and said there was
00:23:41
Speaker 1: more than enough for what they needed. She let out
00:23:45
Speaker 1: a small yawn and invited them inside. A large weaving
00:23:53
Speaker 1: loom was in the center of the cozy home. The
00:23:58
Speaker 1: polar bear put a paw over her mouth to cover
00:24:03
Speaker 1: up another yawn. She apologized and explained she was ready
00:24:09
Speaker 1: for a nap, but would weave the threads into a
00:24:14
Speaker 1: velvet covering before taking to her bed. Seeing how tired
00:24:21
Speaker 1: the bear was, Lily said she and her brother could
00:24:25
Speaker 1: make the material using magic, and she knew of a
00:24:30
Speaker 1: spell that would help, and it was something they could
00:24:35
Speaker 1: do on their own if the bear wanted to have
00:24:38
Speaker 1: her rest now. The polar bear gave a sleepy smile
00:24:45
Speaker 1: of thanks and ambled away to her bed. The low
00:24:51
Speaker 1: sound of her snools soon echoed through the cottage. Lily
00:24:58
Speaker 1: brought forth the word of the spell and cast them
00:25:02
Speaker 1: towards the red ball of threads. The ball left Jake's
00:25:08
Speaker 1: hand and turned slowly in the air. The threads began
00:25:15
Speaker 1: to unwind and move towards the loom. They placed themselves
00:25:23
Speaker 1: evenly across it. A shuttle appeared and started to move
00:25:29
Speaker 1: back and forth across the threads. Lily clicked her fingers
00:25:36
Speaker 1: and the shuttle moved faster until it was a blur.
00:25:44
Speaker 1: The snow continued to fall outside. The polar Bear's snools
00:25:49
Speaker 1: gently rumbled through the cottage. Soon the shuttle came to
00:25:56
Speaker 1: a stop. The twins looked at the completed material. Jake
00:26:04
Speaker 1: nodded and said to his sister, excellent job. Thank you.
00:26:12
Speaker 1: Lily replied, let's take this back to Santa. They collected
00:26:19
Speaker 1: the material and rolled it up. They left the cottage
00:26:24
Speaker 1: and walked through the softly falling snow. They arrived back
00:26:30
Speaker 1: at Santa's workshop. His jolly face lit up with delight
00:26:36
Speaker 1: when he saw the folded material. He said it was
00:26:42
Speaker 1: perfect and asked if the twins could use more magic
00:26:47
Speaker 1: to place it into position. The twins worked together and
00:26:54
Speaker 1: used a combination of spells to remove the existing material
00:26:59
Speaker 1: and then replaced it with a new one. Once the
00:27:05
Speaker 1: new seat covering was in place, Santa warmly thanked the
00:27:10
Speaker 1: twins with a twinkle in his eyes. He asked if
00:27:16
Speaker 1: they would like to test the new seat out on
00:27:20
Speaker 1: a flight back to their school. The astonished twins could
00:27:27
Speaker 1: only nod in reply. The Reindeers were gathered and tethered
00:27:33
Speaker 1: to the sleigh. Jake and Lily climbed into the sleigh.
00:27:40
Speaker 1: Santa sat next to them and declared his new seat
00:27:45
Speaker 1: to be extremely comfy. Santa handed a rein to each
00:27:51
Speaker 1: twin and gave them the words which were needed to
00:27:56
Speaker 1: make the sleigh fly. Later, the sleigh lifted from the
00:28:03
Speaker 1: ground and moved out of the workshop, with the Reindeers
00:28:10
Speaker 1: at the helm. The sleigh took to the night sky
00:28:15
Speaker 1: and flew over the softly lit village. The elves waved
00:28:20
Speaker 1: goodbye through the sparkling stars they flew. The snow continued
00:28:29
Speaker 1: to fall gently, one beautiful snowflake after another. Onwards they flew.
00:28:40
Speaker 1: The Leora Academy soon came into view. The sleigh flew
00:28:47
Speaker 1: over the streets of Leeds, where people were beginning to
00:28:52
Speaker 1: head home for the day. Santa told the twins he
00:28:58
Speaker 1: knew some magic too. He took a handful of sparkling
00:29:04
Speaker 1: glitter from his pocket and gave it to Lily and Jake.
00:29:11
Speaker 1: He told them to throw it into the sky. The
00:29:16
Speaker 1: twins did so. Fluffy, snow filled clouds appeared in the
00:29:23
Speaker 1: dark blue sky. The snow began to fall softly and gently,
00:29:32
Speaker 1: glistening white snowflakes fluttering downwards. People stopped what they were
00:29:40
Speaker 1: doing and gazed upwards at the snow in wonder. Some
00:29:47
Speaker 1: held their hands out to catch a falling flake. More
00:29:53
Speaker 1: and more snow fell. The city was soon blanked in
00:29:59
Speaker 1: a s sparkling blanket of snow, which glistened and glimmered
00:30:05
Speaker 1: like glitter. It turned the city look into a winter wonderland.
00:30:13
Speaker 1: The sleigh came to a rest at the back of
00:30:16
Speaker 1: the school and the twins climbed out of it. Santa
00:30:22
Speaker 1: thanked the Jupiter twins for their help and wished them
00:30:27
Speaker 1: a merry Christmas. The twins waved to Santa and the
00:30:33
Speaker 1: reindeers as they took to the sky again. It was
00:30:39
Speaker 1: a Christmas Jake and Lily would never forget. They went
00:30:46
Speaker 1: inside the school and the snow continued to fall softly
00:30:53
Speaker 1: through the night.
