Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Koala Moon, a podcast of
00:00:14
Speaker 1: original children's bedtime stories and meditations designed to make bedtime
00:00:20
Speaker 1: a dream. Tonight, we are flying back into the magical,
00:00:25
Speaker 1: fantastical world of Lily and Jake Jupiter. Our clever tail
00:00:31
Speaker 1: begins on a warm, sunny day, but the weather quickly
00:00:35
Speaker 1: takes a surprising turn and snow clouds appear. This sounds
00:00:40
Speaker 1: just like the weather here in Wales last weekend, but
00:00:44
Speaker 1: the twins sense that something isn't quite right, and after
00:00:48
Speaker 1: speaking to their head teacher about the unusual change in
00:00:52
Speaker 1: the climate, they're asked to seek out the wizard who's
00:00:55
Speaker 1: in charge of the weather. Using their magical powers, the
00:01:00
Speaker 1: twins set off on their quest and find out there's
00:01:04
Speaker 1: a very familiar reason for this wonderfully weird weather. Before
00:01:10
Speaker 1: I begin, let's get ready to rest. Get into bed
00:01:15
Speaker 1: and relax your whole body, starting with your feet, your legs,
00:01:22
Speaker 1: and moving up your body to the top of your head.
00:01:27
Speaker 1: Close your eyes and take some nice deep breath in
00:01:31
Speaker 1: through your nose and out through your mouth. Now get
00:01:36
Speaker 1: even more comfy and close your eyes. As I begin
00:01:40
Speaker 1: tonight's bedtime story. This is the Jupiter Twins and The
00:01:46
Speaker 1: Weather Wizard by Gillian Rogerson. Jake and Lily Jupiter stood
00:01:58
Speaker 1: inside the clock tower of Leeds Town Hall, then looked
00:02:02
Speaker 1: out over the busy streets below them. It was the
00:02:06
Speaker 1: start of summer and the weather had already turned much warmer.
00:02:10
Speaker 1: People strolled along the streets, carrying their folded jackets over
00:02:15
Speaker 1: their arms, soft smiles on their faces. The city park
00:02:20
Speaker 1: was already full of office workers reclining on benches and
00:02:24
Speaker 1: enjoying a coffee. The warm air flowed around the twins
00:02:29
Speaker 1: on the clock tower, bringing with it a promise of
00:02:33
Speaker 1: many sunny days ahead. Lily said, it's days like these
00:02:39
Speaker 1: that made me want to visit the seaside. I hope
00:02:42
Speaker 1: we get to go there again soon. Me too, Jake replied.
00:02:48
Speaker 1: He cast a glance at the engraving on one of
00:02:51
Speaker 1: the stone columns behind him. Lily, are you sure you
00:02:56
Speaker 1: want to wake him up? He looks so peacefully in
00:03:00
Speaker 1: his sleep. Lily moved over to the column and crouched
00:03:05
Speaker 1: at the side of it. The engraving was of a
00:03:08
Speaker 1: small dragon who was curled up and fast asleep. The
00:03:13
Speaker 1: dragon was called Zavara, which meant sleepy and not all
00:03:18
Speaker 1: that long ago. He had been woken from his slumber
00:03:21
Speaker 1: to help the Jupiter twins with an adventure. Once he'd
00:03:25
Speaker 1: woken up, the dragon had grown in size and taken
00:03:29
Speaker 1: the twins through a magical portal to the secret land
00:03:33
Speaker 1: of Dragons. The twins had been given valuable gifts from
00:03:38
Speaker 1: the dragons, which they took back to their school, the
00:03:41
Speaker 1: Leora Academy, a school of magic that lay beneath the
00:03:45
Speaker 1: streets of Leeds. Once the gifts had been stored away
00:03:50
Speaker 1: in the school's cupboards, Zavara had returned to his sleeping
00:03:54
Speaker 1: position on the column, and he'd asked the twins to
00:03:57
Speaker 1: come by often to wake him up for a chat,
00:04:01
Speaker 1: which was what the twins had done several times and
00:04:04
Speaker 1: were about to do again on that sunny day. Lily
00:04:08
Speaker 1: gazed fondly at the engraving and said, I promised to
00:04:13
Speaker 1: wake him up again on the first warm day of summer.
00:04:17
Speaker 1: Zavara said it would be the perfect time to catch
00:04:20
Speaker 1: up with us and hear about our latest adventures. Jake
00:04:25
Speaker 1: crouched at Lily's side and grinned. He said, he's quite
00:04:30
Speaker 1: a nosy dragon, isn't he. Lily grinned back and nodded.
00:04:36
Speaker 1: She added that they were quite nosy too. She waved
00:04:41
Speaker 1: her hand slowly over the engraving and said, wake up.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: The dragon stirred in his sleep and opened his emerald
00:04:52
Speaker 1: green eyes. He yawned and furled himself and had a
00:04:58
Speaker 1: good long stretch. He looked up at the twins and
00:05:02
Speaker 1: smiled at them. He waved and said hello. The twins
00:05:07
Speaker 1: waved back and said together Hello, Savara. The dragon flew
00:05:13
Speaker 1: off the column and up towards the twins. He hovered
00:05:17
Speaker 1: in the air, his little wings slowly flapping. He said,
00:05:22
Speaker 1: it's good to see you again. Is this a business
00:05:27
Speaker 1: call concerning a magical matter? Or are you here for
00:05:31
Speaker 1: a chat and a catch up? Just a chat today?
00:05:35
Speaker 1: Lidia explained, everything has been quiet in the school lately.
00:05:41
Speaker 1: We haven't been on any adventures since our Halloween one,
00:05:44
Speaker 1: and we told you all about that. Zavara smiled at
00:05:48
Speaker 1: the memory and gazed into the distance. He said that
00:05:53
Speaker 1: had been a wonderful adventure for them. His smile faded
00:05:58
Speaker 1: and a thoughtful look alighted on his face. He said,
00:06:03
Speaker 1: excuse me for a moment, I need to check on something.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Won't belong. Zavara flew away from the twins, and all
00:06:12
Speaker 1: the way around the outside of the clock tower. The
00:06:16
Speaker 1: twins straightened up from their crouching position and watched him.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: The dragon returned to Lily and Jake and said, just
00:06:27
Speaker 1: as I suspected, there's magic in the air, and not
00:06:31
Speaker 1: the usual kind. There's something wrong with the magic, but
00:06:36
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what yet. You two should take a look. Lily,
00:06:42
Speaker 1: can you stand on the north side of the tower,
00:06:45
Speaker 1: and Jake can you stand on the south side. The
00:06:50
Speaker 1: twins nodded at the little dragon. They took up positions
00:06:54
Speaker 1: on either side of the tower and asked what they
00:06:57
Speaker 1: were looking for. Zavara called out anything unusual. I'm going
00:07:04
Speaker 1: to fly to the top of the tower and scan
00:07:07
Speaker 1: the city. Jake looked out at the clear blue sky
00:07:12
Speaker 1: and then down at the streets. Everything looked the same
00:07:17
Speaker 1: as it had a few minutes ago. It was still
00:07:20
Speaker 1: sunny and people were still strolling around and enjoying the
00:07:24
Speaker 1: gentle warmth of the day. He couldn't see anything unusual.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: On the opposite side of the clock tower, Lily looked
00:07:33
Speaker 1: out too. It was sunny as before, but she did
00:07:38
Speaker 1: see something on the horizon. She called out to the others,
00:07:43
Speaker 1: I can see something strange coming this way, well, not strange,
00:07:49
Speaker 1: more unexpected. But there again, this is England and these
00:07:54
Speaker 1: things happen all the time, and it gives people something
00:07:57
Speaker 1: to talk about. Jake walked over to his sister, smiled
00:08:04
Speaker 1: and said, kindly, what are you talking about, Lily? The
00:08:10
Speaker 1: little dragon flew down to Lily and asked her the
00:08:14
Speaker 1: same question. Lily pointed to the horizon and said, rain
00:08:20
Speaker 1: clouds over there, heading towards us. That's not unusual on
00:08:25
Speaker 1: a sunny day. Jake shrugged, yeah, you're right about that.
00:08:31
Speaker 1: That's a shame. I was going to sit outside in
00:08:35
Speaker 1: the sun later on, so Aarra didn't say anything. He
00:08:41
Speaker 1: was staring at the rain clouds and shaking his head.
00:08:45
Speaker 1: He looked away from the clouds and told the twins
00:08:49
Speaker 1: there was something wrong with them. They weren't full of rain,
00:08:53
Speaker 1: but snow, and heavy snow. At that, that's impossible, Lily said,
00:09:02
Speaker 1: it's far too warm for snow. Zavara nodded and said
00:09:07
Speaker 1: she was right, but those were definitely snow clouds, with
00:09:12
Speaker 1: a touch of thunder and lightning around the edges too.
00:09:17
Speaker 1: Before Lily could say that's impossible again, the dragon said
00:09:24
Speaker 1: something is wrong with the weather. You need to tell
00:09:28
Speaker 1: your head teacher what's going on. I'll stay here and
00:09:33
Speaker 1: keep a look out whilst you two go back into
00:09:36
Speaker 1: the school. The twins took one last look at the
00:09:42
Speaker 1: far away clouds, which had now grown much bigger, and
00:09:46
Speaker 1: hurried down the stairs and into the secret school of Magic.
00:09:52
Speaker 1: They rushed along a corridor and stopped outside their head
00:09:56
Speaker 1: teacher's office. As if sensing they were there, the door
00:10:00
Speaker 1: swung open and Doctor Eleanor Howard stood there. She gave
00:10:06
Speaker 1: them a small nod and said, Jake, Lily, I can
00:10:12
Speaker 1: tell from your faces that something is wrong. Come inside
00:10:17
Speaker 1: and tell me everything. Doctor Howard opened the door wider
00:10:23
Speaker 1: and the twins stepped inside. In a jumble of words,
00:10:28
Speaker 1: the twins told their head teacher everything. Doctor Howard said
00:10:34
Speaker 1: she needed to take a closer look at the weather.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: The twins thought she was going to go outside and
00:10:41
Speaker 1: look at the sky, and were very surprised when something
00:10:45
Speaker 1: else happened instead. Doctor Howard moved over to the far
00:10:52
Speaker 1: wall of her office and waved her hand over it.
00:10:57
Speaker 1: A brass lever appeared on the wall with a word
00:11:01
Speaker 1: up on it. She moved the lever to the up
00:11:05
Speaker 1: position and the room began to shake slightly. Then it
00:11:11
Speaker 1: moved up and up, as though it had turned into
00:11:16
Speaker 1: a lift. When it came to a stop, a window
00:11:20
Speaker 1: magically appeared, and through it could be seen the streets
00:11:26
Speaker 1: of leads. The twins moved closer to the window and
00:11:31
Speaker 1: peered out. Heavy snow was now falling, but it wasn't snowflakes,
00:11:39
Speaker 1: as would be expected, but tiny flakes of sparkling fog instead.
00:11:47
Speaker 1: Doctor Howard opened the window and put her arm out.
00:11:52
Speaker 1: She caught a falling flake on her open palm. She
00:11:56
Speaker 1: pushed her arm back and examined the tiny foggy flake.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: She sighed and shook her head. She mumbled to herself,
00:12:09
Speaker 1: I had a feeling this would happen again one day.
00:12:15
Speaker 1: The twins had seen their headteacher talking to herself before,
00:12:20
Speaker 1: so they didn't interrupt her. Doctor Howard shook her head again.
00:12:28
Speaker 1: The sparkling foggy flake on her palm melted and left
00:12:33
Speaker 1: a drop of water behind. She looked over at the
00:12:37
Speaker 1: twins and said, this is magical weather. It's been created
00:12:45
Speaker 1: by Blizzard. Lady asked who Blizzard was. Doctor Howard smiled
00:12:54
Speaker 1: and said Blizzard is a wizard, and yes, that is
00:13:00
Speaker 1: his real name, which is a wonderful coincidence. Because he's
00:13:05
Speaker 1: a weather wizard. He's responsible for the weather in another world,
00:13:11
Speaker 1: a magical world, But it seems his weather has become
00:13:16
Speaker 1: mixed up and some of it has found its way
00:13:20
Speaker 1: into our world by mistake. This happened once before, and
00:13:26
Speaker 1: I was asked to track him down and find out
00:13:29
Speaker 1: what was wrong. When I found him, I discovered he
00:13:34
Speaker 1: hadn't been getting enough sleep. He'd been working too many
00:13:40
Speaker 1: hours during the day and then staying up too late
00:13:45
Speaker 1: at night. When I caught up with him and discovered
00:13:50
Speaker 1: how tired he was, we had a long chat and
00:13:54
Speaker 1: he agreed to change his sleeping habits for the better,
00:13:59
Speaker 1: which he did do, but I had a funny feeling
00:14:02
Speaker 1: he would fall back into his old patterns one day,
00:14:07
Speaker 1: which it seems he now has. Will you track him
00:14:14
Speaker 1: down again and have another talk with him, Lily asked.
00:14:20
Speaker 1: Doctor Howard smiled at the twins. I'd like you to
00:14:25
Speaker 1: do that please. You know enough magic spells now to
00:14:30
Speaker 1: undertake such a mission, and you know how important a
00:14:36
Speaker 1: good night's sleep is, especially when it comes to casting magic.
00:14:44
Speaker 1: The twins shared a worried look. Lily asked the head
00:14:50
Speaker 1: teacher if the weather wizard would take advice from them,
00:14:54
Speaker 1: as they hadn't been at the school very long. Doctor
00:14:59
Speaker 1: Howard placed a hand on each of the twins shoulders
00:15:03
Speaker 1: and said, you too come from a long line of
00:15:09
Speaker 1: magical humans, and everyone knows the name Jupiter. Furthermore, you
00:15:17
Speaker 1: have a natural ability for magic and for helping those
00:15:21
Speaker 1: who need assistance. I know you are more than capable
00:15:27
Speaker 1: of finding Blizzard and talking some sense into him. She
00:15:32
Speaker 1: smiled in a kind way. Of course, the twins still
00:15:39
Speaker 1: weren't sure about that, but they gave Doctor Howard the
00:15:43
Speaker 1: most confident smiles they could muster up. Jaca asked where
00:15:51
Speaker 1: should we look for Blizzard follow the weather chaos. Their
00:15:57
Speaker 1: head teacher replied, this will help you. She clicked her
00:16:02
Speaker 1: fingers and a map appeared. The map floated towards the
00:16:08
Speaker 1: twins and Lily caught it. It's the map of weather chaos.
00:16:16
Speaker 1: Doctor Howard explained, the areas where the weather has become
00:16:21
Speaker 1: mixed up will shimmer and look like they're moving slightly
00:16:26
Speaker 1: on the map. Can you see where we are on
00:16:30
Speaker 1: this map and how this area is shimmering. The twins
00:16:35
Speaker 1: examined the map and nodded. Doctor Howard explained, this means
00:16:44
Speaker 1: we're the only ones getting the wrong type of weather
00:16:47
Speaker 1: at the present time, but I know this will change
00:16:51
Speaker 1: very soon. Follow the map and go to any areas
00:16:56
Speaker 1: on it that shimmer. Eventually you will catch up with
00:17:01
Speaker 1: blizzard along the way. Could you cast spells to reverse
00:17:06
Speaker 1: the peculiar weather that's taking place. I'll show you how
00:17:10
Speaker 1: to do that now. The head teacher moved closer to
00:17:16
Speaker 1: the window, and the twins followed her. She cast the
00:17:21
Speaker 1: weather reversing spell, and the falling foggy flakes instantly vanished,
00:17:28
Speaker 1: and the sun shone down brightly again. The people on
00:17:34
Speaker 1: the streets carried on with their day as if nothing
00:17:38
Speaker 1: had happened, although some of them did give the sky
00:17:42
Speaker 1: a suspicious look. The head teacher asked the twins if
00:17:48
Speaker 1: they'd heard the words of the spell clearly, they nodded.
00:17:53
Speaker 1: She then asked them to cast a weather protective spell
00:17:58
Speaker 1: over themselves and their belongings, because they were going to
00:18:02
Speaker 1: end up in the middle of all sorts of peculiar weather.
00:18:08
Speaker 1: The twins had only learnt that particular spell the previous week,
00:18:13
Speaker 1: but had practiced it several times since then. The spell
00:18:19
Speaker 1: gave protection against any kind of weather and would ensure
00:18:24
Speaker 1: that their clothes and belongings remained entirely dry and warm
00:18:30
Speaker 1: no matter what. Lily tucked the map into the inside
00:18:36
Speaker 1: pocket of her jacket, and then, at the same time
00:18:41
Speaker 1: as her brother, she cast the weather protective spell over herself.
00:18:49
Speaker 1: The headteacher wished them good luck and said they would
00:18:53
Speaker 1: need to go through a portal to the magical World
00:18:56
Speaker 1: where the wizard was, and Zavara could take take them there.
00:19:02
Speaker 1: She asked if they had their magical orbs with them.
00:19:07
Speaker 1: The twins said they had. The twins gave her another
00:19:12
Speaker 1: confident smile and left her office. As they made their
00:19:18
Speaker 1: way back to the clock tower, Lily asked Jake if
00:19:23
Speaker 1: he knew what they were doing. Jake replied, I was
00:19:29
Speaker 1: going to ask you the same thing. We'll work it
00:19:34
Speaker 1: out as we go along. We always do. Zavara was
00:19:40
Speaker 1: waiting for them inside the clock tower. The twins explained
00:19:45
Speaker 1: everything and asked if he could take them to their
00:19:49
Speaker 1: first destination in the magical World. Of course, the little
00:19:56
Speaker 1: Dragon replied, and where would that be. Lily said they
00:20:02
Speaker 1: didn't know yet, and suggested they look at the map
00:20:06
Speaker 1: of weather chaos together. She opened it up and they
00:20:11
Speaker 1: all looked closely at it. Lily pointed to a small
00:20:17
Speaker 1: island at the bottom of the map and said, this
00:20:22
Speaker 1: island looks like it shimmering. I think we should go
00:20:28
Speaker 1: here first. Zavara confirmed he could take them there through
00:20:34
Speaker 1: a magical portal in the clouds. He said he'd have
00:20:38
Speaker 1: to grow to his normal size first. The little dragon
00:20:46
Speaker 1: flew out of the clock tower and hovered in the air.
00:20:51
Speaker 1: In seconds, he had grown much much bigger. He moved
00:20:57
Speaker 1: closer to the twins and are asked them to climb
00:21:01
Speaker 1: onto his back. Lily put the map into her pocket
00:21:06
Speaker 1: and climbed onto the dragon's back. Jake followed her. Zavara
00:21:14
Speaker 1: rose into the sky and flew towards a single, fluffy,
00:21:19
Speaker 1: white cloud. He went right through it, with the twins
00:21:24
Speaker 1: securely on his back. When they came out of the
00:21:29
Speaker 1: other side of the cloud, the twins saw they were
00:21:32
Speaker 1: in a different world, a world where the sky was
00:21:37
Speaker 1: pale purple and dotted with blue clouds. The dragon took
00:21:44
Speaker 1: them towards the island they'd seen on the map. It
00:21:48
Speaker 1: was a beautifully warm day, and the sun shone brightly
00:21:54
Speaker 1: over the island. As they flew close, Sir, the twins
00:22:01
Speaker 1: noticed the island was covered in pink grass. There was
00:22:06
Speaker 1: a lake in the middle of the grass, and the
00:22:09
Speaker 1: water was the same pale purple as the sky. An
00:22:15
Speaker 1: animal was swimming in the water, and when the twins
00:22:19
Speaker 1: got closer they recognized it as a penguin. And as
00:22:25
Speaker 1: they got even closer, they noticed folded wings on the
00:22:30
Speaker 1: back of the penguin. They'd never seen a penguin with
00:22:35
Speaker 1: wings before. Zavara landed on the pink grass and lowered
00:22:42
Speaker 1: his back to allow the twins to jump off. He
00:22:46
Speaker 1: yawned and said, oh, I'm very sleepy. I need to
00:22:53
Speaker 1: return to the clock tower for a nap. You can
00:22:57
Speaker 1: use your magical orbs to travel to other places if
00:23:01
Speaker 1: you need to tell me all about your adventures. Later,
00:23:09
Speaker 1: Lily and Jake stood on the soft grass and waved
00:23:14
Speaker 1: goodbye to Zavara. As he flew away, the twins saw
00:23:20
Speaker 1: some winged penguins huddled beneath the shade of a nearby tree.
00:23:27
Speaker 1: When the penguins saw the twins, they waved and asked
00:23:31
Speaker 1: them to come closer. Lily and Jake jogged over to
00:23:37
Speaker 1: them and introduced themselves and told the penguins why they
00:23:42
Speaker 1: were there. Jake smiled and said, I can't see anything
00:23:48
Speaker 1: wrong with your weather, though it's lovely and warm. Penguin
00:23:55
Speaker 1: at the front of the group's side and flapped her wings.
00:23:59
Speaker 1: She said, it's not supposed to be warm. We're penguin fairies,
00:24:07
Speaker 1: and our island is usually covered in snow. That changed
00:24:13
Speaker 1: a short while ago. The snow disappeared and the sun
00:24:18
Speaker 1: came out. That lake over there used to be our
00:24:23
Speaker 1: ice skating rink. We know the warm weather is great
00:24:28
Speaker 1: for some animals, but we much prefer the snow. She
00:24:34
Speaker 1: smiled at the swimming penguin fairy in the lake. Well,
00:24:39
Speaker 1: most of us prefer the snow. Bettina over there is
00:24:44
Speaker 1: having a marvelous time. She loves this warmer weather. Jake
00:24:51
Speaker 1: said to Lily, shall we change the weather back. Lily
00:24:58
Speaker 1: looked at the penguin fairy and asked if they would
00:25:02
Speaker 1: like the snow bag. The penguin fairies nodded and flapped
00:25:07
Speaker 1: their wings in joy. One of the penguin fairies flew
00:25:12
Speaker 1: over to her swimming friend in the lake and told
00:25:15
Speaker 1: Bettina the water would be changing back into ice soon.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Bettina climbed out of the water. She was wearing a
00:25:26
Speaker 1: gold swimming costume. She waddled over to everyone and asked
00:25:32
Speaker 1: what was going on. When an explanation was given, Bettina
00:25:37
Speaker 1: sighed and said she'd had a great time in the
00:25:40
Speaker 1: warm lake and would treasure the memory forever. Jake cast
00:25:49
Speaker 1: the weather reversing spell, and within seconds, the air turned
00:25:54
Speaker 1: colder and snow began to fall. The snowflake were pale purple,
00:26:01
Speaker 1: and when they landed on the ground, they twinkled and shimmered.
00:26:07
Speaker 1: The penguin fairies thanked the twins and flew towards the
00:26:13
Speaker 1: frozen lake, ready to skate across it, apart from Bettina,
00:26:20
Speaker 1: who stayed with the twins and asked where they were
00:26:23
Speaker 1: going next. We don't know yet, Lily replied, we need
00:26:30
Speaker 1: to look at the map again. She opened up the
00:26:35
Speaker 1: map and saw a new shimmering island. Bettina recognized the
00:26:41
Speaker 1: shape of it and told the twins it was a
00:26:44
Speaker 1: place called Paradise Shore. She'd heard it was a very
00:26:50
Speaker 1: warm place and said she would love to take a
00:26:53
Speaker 1: holiday there one day. Jake said, why don't you come
00:27:00
Speaker 1: with us now? We won't know what the weather will
00:27:04
Speaker 1: be like. Until we get there, though. Bettina said she
00:27:10
Speaker 1: would love that, and told the twins she could magically
00:27:14
Speaker 1: transport them there using her penguin fairy magic. Bettina focused
00:27:22
Speaker 1: on the map and flapped her wings three times. A
00:27:28
Speaker 1: few seconds later, the twins and the penguin fairy were
00:27:33
Speaker 1: standing on the sandy beach of Paradise Shore. The sun
00:27:39
Speaker 1: was shining brightly in the clear purple sky. Bettina smiled
00:27:47
Speaker 1: and raised her face to the sun. What glorious weather
00:27:55
Speaker 1: I'm going to enjoy staying here for a while. She
00:28:00
Speaker 1: said good bye to the twins and waddled towards an
00:28:04
Speaker 1: empty sun lounger. The twins couldn't see anything out of
00:28:10
Speaker 1: the ordinary with the weather and were about to look
00:28:13
Speaker 1: at the map again, but then they heard some one
00:28:18
Speaker 1: calling out to them. They looked towards the sea and
00:28:23
Speaker 1: saw a mermaid perched on a rock. She waved to
00:28:28
Speaker 1: them and asked them to come closer. The twins waded
00:28:34
Speaker 1: into the sea, knowing that their clothes would stay dry
00:28:39
Speaker 1: thanks to their weather protective spell. When they got closer,
00:28:45
Speaker 1: the mermaid said she'd seen them magically appear and asked
00:28:51
Speaker 1: if they were there to sort out the unusual weather,
00:28:56
Speaker 1: Jake said they were. Lily held up the map and
00:29:01
Speaker 1: explained how they'd been led to the area, but they
00:29:05
Speaker 1: couldn't see anything wrong with the weather. The Mermaid pointed
00:29:12
Speaker 1: towards the sea and said, it's the weather over there
00:29:18
Speaker 1: that's the problem. It's raining under the water. There's rumbling
00:29:26
Speaker 1: thunder too, and flashes of lightning. This has never happened before,
00:29:33
Speaker 1: and everyone is very confused. Could you help us please?
00:29:41
Speaker 1: The twins nodded. The mermaid asked if they would like
00:29:45
Speaker 1: to look at the underwater rain so they knew what
00:29:49
Speaker 1: they were dealing with. The twins nodded again and used
00:29:55
Speaker 1: a spell to allow themselves to swim and breathe underwater.
00:30:02
Speaker 1: Once the spell had been cast, the twins swam with
00:30:07
Speaker 1: the mermaid beneath the surface. Showers of glittering silver rain
00:30:15
Speaker 1: flowed down through the sea and drummed out a pitapatter
00:30:20
Speaker 1: on the sandy floor. Low rumbles of thunder echoed out.
00:30:28
Speaker 1: Flashes of lightning lit up the faces of the murr
00:30:32
Speaker 1: people and sea animals, who were staring at the rain
00:30:37
Speaker 1: in utter confusion. Lily and Jake cast a weather reversing spell,
00:30:46
Speaker 1: and the rain vanished. The thunder quietened down and the
00:30:52
Speaker 1: lightning faded away. The sea was back to normal. The
00:31:00
Speaker 1: mermaid thanked the twins and swam with them back to
00:31:04
Speaker 1: the surface. She gave them some magical pearls from her
00:31:10
Speaker 1: necklace and said the pearls would transport them anywhere on
00:31:15
Speaker 1: their map of weather chaos. The twins swam back to
00:31:21
Speaker 1: shore and then continued on their quest. They followed the
00:31:28
Speaker 1: shimmering clues on the map and traveled to different places.
00:31:34
Speaker 1: Thanks to the mermaid's pearls, they didn't need to use
00:31:38
Speaker 1: their orbs once they reversed the weather in each area
00:31:44
Speaker 1: they visited, and then carried on with their journey. After
00:31:51
Speaker 1: clearing a meadow that was full of tiny, twisting cyclones,
00:31:58
Speaker 1: Jake sighed and said, I don't think we're getting any
00:32:05
Speaker 1: closer to finding the weather wizard. Lily grinned at her
00:32:10
Speaker 1: brother and told him to look at the far side
00:32:16
Speaker 1: of the meadow. Jake did so and saw a man
00:32:21
Speaker 1: sitting in the grass and resting against a tree. His
00:32:26
Speaker 1: eyes were closed. He was wearing a long, flowing blue
00:32:32
Speaker 1: robe that had images of snow, rain, sunshine, and rainbows
00:32:38
Speaker 1: on it. Jake smiled and said that must be Blizzard.
00:32:47
Speaker 1: At last, the twins walked quietly over to the wizard,
00:32:54
Speaker 1: not wanting to disturb him, but knowing they would have to.
00:33:00
Speaker 1: The Wizard opened his eyes, smiled at them, and said,
00:33:07
Speaker 1: hullo there, I'm not asleep, just resting my eyes. Oh,
00:33:13
Speaker 1: I see from your uniforms that your students from the
00:33:17
Speaker 1: Leora Academy and you can only be here for one reason.
00:33:23
Speaker 1: Your wonderful head teacher, doctor Howard, has sent you here
00:33:29
Speaker 1: with a message for me. May I officially introduce myself.
00:33:34
Speaker 1: I am Blizzard, the Weather Wizard. The twins introduced themselves.
00:33:43
Speaker 1: Lily held up the map of weather Chaos and explained
00:33:48
Speaker 1: why they were there. Jake finally found a use for
00:33:53
Speaker 1: his magical orb and magic are images of the mixed
00:33:57
Speaker 1: up weather inside it. To you know the wizard what
00:34:01
Speaker 1: they had seen that day. Blizzard shook his head at
00:34:06
Speaker 1: himself and said, I wasn't even aware I'd been making
00:34:13
Speaker 1: any mistakes. Doctor Howard is correct. I haven't been getting
00:34:20
Speaker 1: enough sleep, but I thought I was still performing my
00:34:25
Speaker 1: job correctly. Alas from what you've told me, that isn't
00:34:31
Speaker 1: the case. You have my heartfelt thanks for correcting my mistakes.
00:34:38
Speaker 1: Jake and Lily, and my apologies for creating this situation.
00:34:47
Speaker 1: Lily said they didn't mind at all and it had
00:34:51
Speaker 1: been a great adventure. She gave the wizard a bashful
00:34:55
Speaker 1: smile and asked if he knew how to get a
00:34:59
Speaker 1: good night sleep and did he need any help from them.
00:35:05
Speaker 1: Blizzard chuckled and replied, I do know how to get
00:35:11
Speaker 1: a good night's sleep, but I haven't been sticking to
00:35:15
Speaker 1: my nightly bedtime routine. But I'll get back to that
00:35:21
Speaker 1: immediately and have an early night tonight. I could do
00:35:26
Speaker 1: with your help with something before you return to your school.
00:35:32
Speaker 1: Could you cast my nighttime spells for me? Please? I'm
00:35:38
Speaker 1: concerned I might get them mixed up because I'm so tired.
00:35:44
Speaker 1: You can cast the spells over that map you've brought
00:35:48
Speaker 1: with you, and they will find their way across this world.
00:35:54
Speaker 1: The twins said they would love to do that. With
00:35:59
Speaker 1: bliss It's help, they cast nighttime spells over the map.
00:36:06
Speaker 1: A spell to make the stars twinkle in the velvety
00:36:10
Speaker 1: dark sky, a spell to make the moon shine brightly
00:36:16
Speaker 1: across the land, a spell to make the sea lap
00:36:22
Speaker 1: softly upon the shore, a spell to make calming dreams
00:36:30
Speaker 1: drift towards people and animals in their slumber. The last
00:36:38
Speaker 1: spell was cast, and the sky above the meadow turned dark,
00:36:45
Speaker 1: and the first stars appeared blizzard. The sleepy wizard yawned
00:36:54
Speaker 1: and said he was ready for his sleep. Lily and
00:37:00
Speaker 1: Jake yawned too. The wizard said he would help them
00:37:06
Speaker 1: get back to school. He summoned a moonbeam from above.
00:37:12
Speaker 1: The softly glowing beam floated towards the tired twins and
00:37:19
Speaker 1: wrapped around them like a warm, soft hug. The wizard
00:37:27
Speaker 1: thanked the twins for their help, blew softly on the moonbeam,
00:37:34
Speaker 1: and then he vanished. The moonbeam rose into the night
00:37:40
Speaker 1: sky and drifted through a cloudy magic portal and into
00:37:47
Speaker 1: the world where the school of magic was. The sleepy
00:37:54
Speaker 1: twins settled down on the soft beam of light and
00:37:59
Speaker 1: closed their eyes. In no time at all, they were
00:38:05
Speaker 1: back at the clock tower of the town hall. It
00:38:10
Speaker 1: was nighttime and doctor Howard was waiting for them. With
00:38:16
Speaker 1: a gentle wave of her hands, she magically transported the
00:38:22
Speaker 1: twins into their soft comfy bed. Her whisper carried on
00:38:30
Speaker 1: a breeze towards them. Thank you, Jake and Lily, you
00:38:38
Speaker 1: have done a wonderful job. Settle down and go to sleep.
00:38:47
Speaker 1: Good night, sweet dreams, see you in the morning.
