In tonight's bedtime story for kids, we look back at the time Midnight the Fairy met a little panda named Bao, who dreamed of finding out once and for all whether dragons were real.

Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Kuala 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.
00:00:23
Speaker 2: I'm delighted to tell you that tonight's episode is inspired
00:00:27
Speaker 2: by a listener in Australia called Panda Coco, who wrote
00:00:31
Speaker 2: us a lovely review along with a brilliant story idea.
00:00:35
Speaker 2: Our fantastic writer Gillian has done wonders and written this
00:00:39
Speaker 2: story about a panda who gets help from Midnight the
00:00:43
Speaker 2: Sleep Fairy. In fact, this story really does have it
00:00:47
Speaker 2: all pandas, dragons and fairies. Panda Coco, we hope you
00:00:53
Speaker 2: enjoy it, and to the rest of you, please keep
00:00:57
Speaker 2: sending in your ideas too. We can't respond on Apple podcast,
00:01:02
Speaker 2: but we love hearing from you all. Okay, let's jump
00:01:08
Speaker 2: into bed, snuggle down and relax. You could do some
00:01:14
Speaker 2: light stretches, some deep breathing, or just gently close your
00:01:19
Speaker 2: eyes as I now take you to meet Bao. He
00:01:24
Speaker 2: is little with black and white fur and a little
00:01:28
Speaker 2: bit of a frown on his sweet face. He's having
00:01:32
Speaker 2: trouble falling asleep because he can't stop thinking about dragons,
00:01:38
Speaker 2: and he wonders if they actually exist. He asks his
00:01:43
Speaker 2: Grandma about them, and she knows the best way to
00:01:46
Speaker 2: answer his question is by summoning magical help from a
00:01:50
Speaker 2: special fairy called Midnight. The fairy arrives at their home
00:01:56
Speaker 2: and takes Bao on a magical journey where he soon
00:02:01
Speaker 2: discovers the answer to his question. This is Midnight and
00:02:08
Speaker 2: the Panda by Gillian Rogerson. It was twilight in Sleepy
00:02:19
Speaker 2: Forest and the animals were settling down for the night.
00:02:24
Speaker 2: Moonbeams cascaded through the branches of the trees and danced
00:02:29
Speaker 2: slowly across the forest floor. The sky was a beautiful
00:02:35
Speaker 2: shade of purple and pink, and the clouds were as
00:02:38
Speaker 2: fluffy as marshmallows. All around the forest, animals prepared their
00:02:45
Speaker 2: children for bedtime. Warm baths were run, soothing drinks of
00:02:50
Speaker 2: cocoa were made, and bedtime stories were told. On the
00:02:56
Speaker 2: far side of Sleepy Forest, there was a cozy how
00:03:00
Speaker 2: made of bamboo, and inside the house lived a family
00:03:04
Speaker 2: of pandas. The youngest panda was called Bao, and he
00:03:08
Speaker 2: loved everything about bedtime, especially the stories his parents and
00:03:13
Speaker 2: grandparents told him. His favorite stories were about dragons, and
00:03:20
Speaker 2: every night he would ask for a story about the
00:03:24
Speaker 2: marvelous dragons and their amazing adventures. That evening, as Boo
00:03:30
Speaker 2: settled down in his bed, he didn't ask for a
00:03:33
Speaker 2: story about dragons because there was something else on his mind.
00:03:38
Speaker 2: There was a question that had been concerning him all day,
00:03:43
Speaker 2: and he couldn't stop thinking about it. When his grandma
00:03:48
Speaker 2: asked what bedtime story he would like, Bao asked, Grandma,
00:03:56
Speaker 2: have you ever seen a dragon? No, Bow, I haven't,
00:04:02
Speaker 2: she replied. Would you like a story about the water
00:04:06
Speaker 2: dragon tonight? Or maybe the weather dragon? Boo said, Grandma,
00:04:15
Speaker 2: has anyone in our family ever seen a dragon? Grandma
00:04:21
Speaker 2: shook her head. Then how do you know they exist,
00:04:27
Speaker 2: Boo asked. Grandma smiled kindly, because I can feel it
00:04:35
Speaker 2: in my heart, and when I go into the forest,
00:04:39
Speaker 2: I can sense the dragons in nature, in the ocean,
00:04:44
Speaker 2: and in the stars, but no one has ever seen them,
00:04:51
Speaker 2: Bow persisted. Grandma shook her head again. Hmm, came Bow's.
00:05:01
Speaker 2: He closed his eyes and looked like he was ready
00:05:04
Speaker 2: for sleep. Grandma started to tell him a story about
00:05:09
Speaker 2: the water dragon. Bough's eyes opened. Grandma, has anyone in
00:05:18
Speaker 2: our village seen a dragon? Or anyone in Sleepy forest?
00:05:25
Speaker 2: Grandma said she wasn't sure and maybe she could ask
00:05:29
Speaker 2: around tomorrow. She continued with her story. While the little
00:05:35
Speaker 2: panda didn't close his eyes again. Grandma could tell by
00:05:41
Speaker 2: the look on his little face that he was still
00:05:45
Speaker 2: thinking about dragons and whether anyone had seen one. The
00:05:52
Speaker 2: little panda sat up in bed, placed his paws on
00:05:56
Speaker 2: the covers, and said, I've never seen a dragon. Maybe
00:06:03
Speaker 2: they aren't real, maybe they only exist in stories. Grandma
00:06:11
Speaker 2: wasn't sure what to say, and she realized she needed
00:06:16
Speaker 2: help with Bow's dragon question. She stood up and held
00:06:21
Speaker 2: her poor out to Bow. Come with me. Let's see
00:06:28
Speaker 2: if we can find someone special to answer your question.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: Grandma took Bow out of the house and into the garden.
00:06:40
Speaker 2: She asked him to find three acorn tops. Bow wasn't
00:06:45
Speaker 2: sure why she needed them, but did as he was asked.
00:06:51
Speaker 2: Between them, they soon found three acorn tops. Grandma placed
00:06:57
Speaker 2: them beneath a tree and told Bao that magical help
00:07:01
Speaker 2: was always available to those who needed it, and one
00:07:06
Speaker 2: way to ask for their help was by placing three
00:07:10
Speaker 2: acorn tops outside their home. Bao looked at his grandma
00:07:17
Speaker 2: in amazement and whispered, magical help. What kind of magical
00:07:25
Speaker 2: help you'll soon see, Grandma said wisely. A few seconds later,
00:07:36
Speaker 2: the magical help they were waiting for arrived in the
00:07:40
Speaker 2: shape of a fairy who was wearing a dress the
00:07:44
Speaker 2: color of the midnight sky. Her silver wings fluttered gently
00:07:52
Speaker 2: in the evening breeze, and a velvet pouch hung from
00:07:57
Speaker 2: a silver belt around her waste. The fairy smiled at
00:08:03
Speaker 2: the pandas and said softly, hullo, my name is Midnight,
00:08:12
Speaker 2: and I help with all matters concerning the night. Did
00:08:19
Speaker 2: you call for me? We did, Thank you for coming here,
00:08:26
Speaker 2: Grandma said. She introduced herself and Bow, and said her
00:08:32
Speaker 2: grandson was having trouble falling asleep because of his question
00:08:37
Speaker 2: about dragons and whether they were real. Midnight smiled kindly
00:08:45
Speaker 2: at Bow and said they were real because she had
00:08:50
Speaker 2: seen them many times. Bow was too surprised to speak
00:08:57
Speaker 2: for a moment. Then he found his voice and asked
00:09:02
Speaker 2: the fairy many questions. Where had she seen the dragons?
00:09:09
Speaker 2: What did they look like? Do they like eating cake
00:09:13
Speaker 2: or strawberry jam, sandwiches or bamboo? Where do they go
00:09:19
Speaker 2: on holiday? Midnight said, I don't know the answers to
00:09:25
Speaker 2: those questions, but if it's okay with your grandma. I
00:09:32
Speaker 2: can take you on a journey and you can meet
00:09:36
Speaker 2: some dragons for yourself. Bao looked at his grandma with
00:09:42
Speaker 2: big eyes and asked if he could go with the fairy.
00:09:48
Speaker 2: His grandma said of course, but told him not to
00:09:53
Speaker 2: stay out too long because it was already bedtime. The
00:09:58
Speaker 2: fairy said she wouldn't keep him out long because it
00:10:02
Speaker 2: was nearly her bedtime too. She put her hand over
00:10:06
Speaker 2: her mouth and covered up a yawn. Bow tried his
00:10:12
Speaker 2: best not to yawn, but he couldn't stop a little
00:10:16
Speaker 2: one from coming out. He didn't think anyone noticed. Midnight
00:10:23
Speaker 2: reached into her pouch and pulled out a handful of
00:10:27
Speaker 2: multi colored glitter. She cast it into the air, where
00:10:33
Speaker 2: it twinkled brightly for a second and then fluttered to
00:10:38
Speaker 2: the ground. Out of the glitter a rose a sparkling
00:10:44
Speaker 2: blue pond. A red wooden bridge crossed the pond, adorned
00:10:50
Speaker 2: with lanterns in shades of pink and purple. Midnight looked
00:10:58
Speaker 2: at Bow and said, our journey begins. Let's cross the
00:11:04
Speaker 2: bridge together. Bow said good bye to his grandma and
00:11:11
Speaker 2: followed the fairy across the red bridge. On the other
00:11:17
Speaker 2: side of it was a winding path that was lined
00:11:22
Speaker 2: with bamboo. Bow walked along the path and felt the
00:11:27
Speaker 2: warm wind ruffling his fur. The twilight breeze traveled through
00:11:35
Speaker 2: the bamboo, causing them to gently bump into each other.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: They created a soothing chiming sound that created an air
00:11:48
Speaker 2: of tranquility. Bow walked along, feeling calm and relaxed. The
00:11:57
Speaker 2: path came to an end at an open field. In
00:12:03
Speaker 2: the middle of the field, there was a red dragon.
00:12:08
Speaker 2: Bow stopped in his tracks and his little mouth fell
00:12:13
Speaker 2: open in surprise. He stared at the dragon, completely lost
00:12:23
Speaker 2: for words. The dragon was magnificent. She was covered in
00:12:29
Speaker 2: bright scales which were the color of red poppies, and
00:12:34
Speaker 2: her eyes shone brightly like precious rubies. Her long tails
00:12:42
Speaker 2: swished back and forth across the grass, and a gentle
00:12:49
Speaker 2: smile alighted on her kind face. She waved at the
00:12:55
Speaker 2: fairy in the panda. Bow had he heard stories about
00:13:01
Speaker 2: a red dragon and thought she might be the adventure Dragon.
00:13:07
Speaker 2: He was too shy to say anything, and could only
00:13:10
Speaker 2: wave his little poor at her. The red dragon moved
00:13:16
Speaker 2: gracefully towards the fairy and the panda. She said hello, there, Midnight,
00:13:25
Speaker 2: it's a pleasure to see you again. May I ask
00:13:29
Speaker 2: who your friend is? Please? Midnight introduced Bao. As soon
00:13:36
Speaker 2: as his name was said, Boo's words tumbled from his
00:13:41
Speaker 2: mouth like a gushing waterfall. Hello, I've never met a
00:13:47
Speaker 2: dragon before, but I've heard lots of stories about them.
00:13:52
Speaker 2: Are you the adventure dragon I've heard about you? Is
00:13:57
Speaker 2: it true you found some gold coin hidden in a
00:14:01
Speaker 2: far away valley? And did you discover a crystal forest
00:14:06
Speaker 2: deep in the heart of a jungle? The Red Dragon
00:14:11
Speaker 2: chuckled and said, yes, she was the adventure Dragon and
00:14:16
Speaker 2: those stories were true. She moved closer to the little
00:14:23
Speaker 2: panda and looked at him with eyes full of kindness.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: It made Bow feel all warm and happy inside. The
00:14:34
Speaker 2: dragon said, I'm just about to go on another adventure.
00:14:40
Speaker 2: There's a mountain I want to explore because I've heard
00:14:45
Speaker 2: there's a secret cave hidden within it. Would you two
00:14:50
Speaker 2: like to come with me? The mountain isn't far away.
00:14:56
Speaker 2: Bow nodded eagerly. He couldn't take his eyes off the
00:15:01
Speaker 2: amazing dragon. Midnight asked if they would be flying to
00:15:07
Speaker 2: the mountain when the adventure Dragon nodded in reply, Midnight
00:15:14
Speaker 2: told Boo he would need some wings. She reached into
00:15:20
Speaker 2: the pouch around her waist and took out some glitter.
00:15:26
Speaker 2: With Boo's permission, she sprinkled some onto his back. The
00:15:32
Speaker 2: panda giggled and said it tickled. He looked over his
00:15:37
Speaker 2: shoulder and was amazed to see a pair of red
00:15:41
Speaker 2: wings on his back. Without any effort at all, he
00:15:47
Speaker 2: flapped his new wings. Wow, Bao said as he gazed
00:15:54
Speaker 2: at his wings. He flapped them again and floated off
00:15:59
Speaker 2: the ground. Midnight put her hand on his shoulder and said,
00:16:07
Speaker 2: don't fly away just yet. Stay close to me. Give
00:16:13
Speaker 2: your wings a few more flaps to get used to them.
00:16:18
Speaker 2: Boo did so. He couldn't stop smiling. Having wings was amazing.
00:16:26
Speaker 2: A minute later, the adventure Dragon, the fairy, and the
00:16:31
Speaker 2: panda rose from the ground and flew towards the mountain.
00:16:38
Speaker 2: As they headed towards the top of it, the dragon
00:16:42
Speaker 2: asked them to look out for a small opening. They
00:16:47
Speaker 2: flew twice around the mountaintop looking for the hidden entrance.
00:16:53
Speaker 2: It was Boo who spotted it. He pointed to a
00:16:58
Speaker 2: gap between two and asked if it was the entrance.
00:17:04
Speaker 2: The dragon said it was, but it looked too small
00:17:07
Speaker 2: for her to fly through. Midnight took some glitter from
00:17:12
Speaker 2: her pouch and threw it towards the gap. The opening
00:17:17
Speaker 2: grew bigger and bigger. Soon it was big enough for
00:17:23
Speaker 2: everyone to fly through. The Red Dragon went through first
00:17:30
Speaker 2: and was followed by the Fairy and the panda. They
00:17:34
Speaker 2: entered a large cave. Sparkling gems twinkled from the roof
00:17:40
Speaker 2: of the cave, and the floor was covered in glimmering
00:17:45
Speaker 2: golden sand. Boo noticed something peculiar at the far side
00:17:53
Speaker 2: of the cave. He landed gently on the floor of
00:17:59
Speaker 2: the cave and walked towards it. When he got closer,
00:18:05
Speaker 2: he saw there was an opening in the floor, and
00:18:09
Speaker 2: inside it there was a shiny slide that led to
00:18:14
Speaker 2: another cave below them. He called out to the Dragon
00:18:19
Speaker 2: and the Fairy and showed them what he'd found. We
00:18:23
Speaker 2: should go down it. The Red Dragon said, it's too
00:18:28
Speaker 2: small for me, and I wonder if you could use
00:18:32
Speaker 2: your magic again. Midnight Midnight said, of course, and asked
00:18:38
Speaker 2: Bow to use the glitter. This time. She held out
00:18:42
Speaker 2: the open pouch to the panda. Bow reached into the bag.
00:18:51
Speaker 2: He wasn't sure how much to take, so he only
00:18:55
Speaker 2: took a small amount. He sprinkled into the air like
00:19:02
Speaker 2: he'd seen midnight doing. The sprinkles landed on the opening
00:19:08
Speaker 2: in the cave floor and made it big enough for everyone.
00:19:14
Speaker 2: With a whoop of joy, the trio traveled down the
00:19:18
Speaker 2: silver slide and came to a soft landing at the
00:19:23
Speaker 2: bottom of it. The cave was much bigger than the
00:19:28
Speaker 2: one above, and a pale, purple stream ran slowly through
00:19:34
Speaker 2: the middle of it. The Red Dragon looked closer at
00:19:38
Speaker 2: the stream and shook her head in disbelief. She told
00:19:44
Speaker 2: the others it could be the legendary singing stream. She
00:19:51
Speaker 2: had heard about it from her mother, but had never
00:19:54
Speaker 2: come across it on her adventures. She frowned and said,
00:20:01
Speaker 2: if this is the singing stream, I wonder how we
00:20:05
Speaker 2: can make it sing. Bao had an idea, He said,
00:20:13
Speaker 2: shall I try singing a song and see if the
00:20:16
Speaker 2: stream joins in with me? The others thought that was
00:20:21
Speaker 2: an excellent idea. Boo thought about his very favorite song.
00:20:29
Speaker 2: It was when his mum sang on an evening when
00:20:33
Speaker 2: he was settling down in bed. He started to sing it.
00:20:39
Speaker 2: Within seconds, the stream joined in with the lovely lullaby tune.
00:20:46
Speaker 2: The peaceful sound echoed around the cave. The Red Dragon
00:20:54
Speaker 2: yawned and said the song was so soothing that it
00:21:00
Speaker 2: was making her feel sleepy. Bow reached the end of
00:21:06
Speaker 2: his song. The stream stopped singing too. At that moment,
00:21:14
Speaker 2: a pale purple boat appeared on the water and bobbed
00:21:19
Speaker 2: on the surface of the stream. Midnight said, I think
00:21:28
Speaker 2: we're supposed to get into this boat and let it
00:21:31
Speaker 2: carry us downstream. She asked the red dragon if she
00:21:37
Speaker 2: wanted to come with them. The dragon yawned and said
00:21:43
Speaker 2: she needed a nap. Having adventures always made her sleepy.
00:21:51
Speaker 2: She asked them to come back and see her again soon.
00:21:56
Speaker 2: The adventure dragon curled up on the ground, closed her
00:22:02
Speaker 2: eyes and fell asleep. Bow and Midnight climbed into the
00:22:10
Speaker 2: pale purple boat and were carried gently onwards. Bow waved
00:22:17
Speaker 2: goodbye to the sleeping dragon. The little panda's wings folded
00:22:24
Speaker 2: up neatly on his back. The boat took the panda
00:22:30
Speaker 2: and the fairy through the cave and out into the sunshine.
00:22:36
Speaker 2: It bobbed along and came to a rest in the
00:22:38
Speaker 2: middle of a lake. On the grass at the side
00:22:43
Speaker 2: of the lake, was another dragon. This one was blue
00:22:49
Speaker 2: and had shimmering scales the color of the sky on
00:22:53
Speaker 2: a summer's day. His blue eyes twinkled merrily at Bow,
00:22:59
Speaker 2: and Bow whispered, is that the water dragon, the one
00:23:09
Speaker 2: who goes on underwater adventures and discovers new worlds. Midnight
00:23:17
Speaker 2: nodded she had met the water dragon before and told
00:23:22
Speaker 2: Bao he was very friendly and loved having visitors. She
00:23:29
Speaker 2: waved to the blue dragon. The beautiful dragon got into
00:23:37
Speaker 2: the lake. He swam over to them and said hello.
00:23:43
Speaker 2: Bao gave him a shy hello in return, and said
00:23:47
Speaker 2: his grandfather had told him many stories about the dragons
00:23:52
Speaker 2: underwater adventures. The water Dragon chuckled and said that was
00:23:59
Speaker 2: good to know. He told them he was about to
00:24:04
Speaker 2: go on another underwater adventure and would they like to
00:24:08
Speaker 2: go with him. The panda and the fairy quickly said yes,
00:24:16
Speaker 2: because they would be traveling underwater. Midnight used her magic
00:24:22
Speaker 2: glitter to turn the boat into a submarine made of glass.
00:24:29
Speaker 2: The water Dragon told them to follow him. He smoothly
00:24:36
Speaker 2: dipped below the surface of the water. Midnight showed Bow
00:24:44
Speaker 2: how to steer the submarine. It wasn't at all difficult
00:24:50
Speaker 2: and Bow easily lowered the vessel beneath the water. Through
00:24:56
Speaker 2: the glass, they saw the blue Dragon waiting for them ahead.
00:25:02
Speaker 2: He waved at them and began to swim through the water.
00:25:08
Speaker 2: Bow steered the submarine and followed the dragon through the
00:25:16
Speaker 2: crystal clear water. They went. Soon they came to a
00:25:22
Speaker 2: large rock. The dragon touched it, and the rock turned
00:25:28
Speaker 2: into a bridge. The water Dragon swam under it. Bow
00:25:35
Speaker 2: expertly steered the submarine beneath the bridge, and when they
00:25:40
Speaker 2: came out of the other side, he discovered they were
00:25:44
Speaker 2: no longer in the lake. They were in the ocean.
00:25:51
Speaker 2: Schools of brightly colored fish swam past the submarine and
00:25:57
Speaker 2: gave it curious looks. Seahorses bobbed by and waved at
00:26:05
Speaker 2: the panda and fairy. They waved back. The blue Dragon
00:26:13
Speaker 2: continued swimming along when the submarine followed him. Before long,
00:26:21
Speaker 2: the water Dragon stopped swimming and swirled around in the water.
00:26:28
Speaker 2: He said he'd heard a story about a hidden world
00:26:32
Speaker 2: somewhere nearby, and he couldn't see away into that world.
00:26:39
Speaker 2: He asked Midnight and Bowed to help him look for
00:26:43
Speaker 2: a way in. Bow slowly steered the submarine over patches
00:26:51
Speaker 2: of swaying grass and pink coral reefs. He soon spotted
00:26:57
Speaker 2: a large boulder covered in fossils. One of the fossils
00:27:03
Speaker 2: was golden color and was larger than the others. It
00:27:07
Speaker 2: reminded Bow of a door handle. Could it be the
00:27:12
Speaker 2: entrance to another world? He waved to the water Dragon
00:27:18
Speaker 2: and pointed to the gold fossil. The dragon moved towards
00:27:24
Speaker 2: the fossil. He reached out and put his hand on it.
00:27:29
Speaker 2: He twisted it, and a door in the boulder opened.
00:27:34
Speaker 2: The water Dragon grinned at Bow and gave him a nod.
00:27:40
Speaker 2: The opening was big enough for them to pass through.
00:27:44
Speaker 2: The Blue Dragon went first, and the others followed. They
00:27:50
Speaker 2: entered another new world. It looked very much like the
00:27:57
Speaker 2: ocean they had just been in, but the animals who
00:28:01
Speaker 2: were swimming about weren't like any Boo had seen before.
00:28:07
Speaker 2: He looked at Midnight and saw she was just as
00:28:11
Speaker 2: astonished as he was. The Blue Dragon looked surprised too.
00:28:19
Speaker 2: Boo thought he could guess what the animals were, but
00:28:23
Speaker 2: he asked Midnight anyway. Midnight answered, they are sea unicorns.
00:28:32
Speaker 2: I've only ever heard stories about them before, I've never
00:28:37
Speaker 2: met any, and I thought they weren't real and only
00:28:41
Speaker 2: existed in stories. Boo smiled and said that's what he
00:28:48
Speaker 2: had thought about dragons, but not anymore. The sea unicorns
00:28:55
Speaker 2: were a variety of delicate colors, blue, green, pink, and purple.
00:29:05
Speaker 2: Their long manes flowed gently in the current of the water,
00:29:11
Speaker 2: and their silver horns twinkled and shimmered like stars in
00:29:17
Speaker 2: the sky. The sea unicorns welcomed their visitors and asked
00:29:23
Speaker 2: them to stay for a while. The water Dragon, the Fairy,
00:29:29
Speaker 2: and the panda spent a little time with the sea
00:29:33
Speaker 2: unicorns and were shone around their world. Bow noticed how
00:29:40
Speaker 2: the sea unicorns kept changing color from one pastor shade
00:29:46
Speaker 2: to another. It was relaxing to watch, and he felt
00:29:52
Speaker 2: himself becoming more and more peaceful as he gazed upon
00:29:57
Speaker 2: the changing colors. Bow yawned, Midnight did too, and so
00:30:08
Speaker 2: did the Water Dragon. The travelers decided it was time
00:30:13
Speaker 2: to say good bye to the sea unicorns, but promised
00:30:18
Speaker 2: to return another time. With the water Dragon leading the way,
00:30:26
Speaker 2: Bow and Midnight returned to the lake where they had
00:30:30
Speaker 2: first met the Blue Dragon. The dragon said he was
00:30:36
Speaker 2: very tired and needed to sleep. He thanked them for
00:30:42
Speaker 2: going on an adventure with him and asked them to
00:30:46
Speaker 2: come back again soon. With a big, big yawn, the
00:30:53
Speaker 2: water Dragon curled up on the grass beside the lake,
00:30:59
Speaker 2: closed eyes and fell asleep. Midnight and Bow climbed out
00:31:07
Speaker 2: of the submarine. The fairy looked upwards and told Bow
00:31:14
Speaker 2: there was one more dragon for him to meet. Bow
00:31:19
Speaker 2: tilted his head and saw a big cloud floating towards them.
00:31:28
Speaker 2: A green dragon with skin the color of spring leaves
00:31:35
Speaker 2: was sitting in the middle of it. Bow recognized the
00:31:40
Speaker 2: dragon immediately. It was the weather Dragon, and according to
00:31:47
Speaker 2: the stories he had heard, the dragon had amazing magical
00:31:53
Speaker 2: powers over the weather. The weather Dragon lad did her
00:32:00
Speaker 2: cloud next to Midnight and Bow. She said, hello, Midnight,
00:32:09
Speaker 2: it's good to see you again. She smiled kindly. Abow.
00:32:15
Speaker 2: You must be Bow. I've heard about you and how
00:32:22
Speaker 2: you've helped some friends of mine on their adventures today.
00:32:28
Speaker 2: I know you live in sleepy forest and that it's
00:32:32
Speaker 2: nighttime there. Would you like to fly home or would
00:32:38
Speaker 2: you prefer a lift on my cloud? Bow did like flying,
00:32:47
Speaker 2: but as he was feeling very tired, he asked if
00:32:52
Speaker 2: he could have a lift back please. Midnight was also
00:32:58
Speaker 2: tired and asked the same question. The weather Dragon said,
00:33:04
Speaker 2: of course, and asked them to climb on. She said, Bow,
00:33:12
Speaker 2: if you're not too tired, you could help me with
00:33:16
Speaker 2: some of the weather on the way back to Sleepy Forest,
00:33:22
Speaker 2: Midnight and Bow climbed onto the fluffy cloud and sat
00:33:27
Speaker 2: next to the dragon. Bow put his paws on the cloud.
00:33:33
Speaker 2: It was as soft as his bed. Thinking about his
00:33:39
Speaker 2: bed made him yawn. Midnight told Bow his wings would
00:33:46
Speaker 2: slowly disappear on the way home, but if he ever
00:33:53
Speaker 2: needed them back, he need only call out for her
00:33:57
Speaker 2: magical help. The cloud rose to the sky and moved
00:34:05
Speaker 2: forwards over the mountains. The weather dragon said she had
00:34:12
Speaker 2: to deliver snow to some of the mountains and asked
00:34:16
Speaker 2: Bow to take a porfull of cloud. The panda did so.
00:34:23
Speaker 2: It fell cool and refreshing. The Green Dragon stopped above
00:34:31
Speaker 2: a mountain and told Bow to rub the tuft of
00:34:36
Speaker 2: cloud together in his paws. Bow gently rubbed the cloud
00:34:42
Speaker 2: back and forth. Tiny snowflakes floated from the piece of
00:34:50
Speaker 2: cool cloud and drifted over the mountain. They grew bigger
00:34:58
Speaker 2: and bigger, and then fell on the mountain top and
00:35:04
Speaker 2: covered it in a blanket of snow. When enough snow
00:35:11
Speaker 2: had fallen, the Weather Dragon moved the cloud away from
00:35:16
Speaker 2: the mountain and over some fields. She asked Bow to
00:35:22
Speaker 2: take another bit of cloud. He did so, and when
00:35:27
Speaker 2: he rubbed it together, he made rain drops appear. The
00:35:33
Speaker 2: rain fell gently to the fields below, and Bow heard
00:35:39
Speaker 2: the soft pitapatter as it landed on the ground. It
00:35:45
Speaker 2: was a soothing sound and made him feel sleepy. He yawned.
00:35:54
Speaker 2: The weather Dragon noticed how tired the panda was and
00:35:59
Speaker 2: swift headed to Sleepy Forest, arriving a minute later. The
00:36:07
Speaker 2: animals of Sleepy Forests were fast asleep, tucked up inside
00:36:14
Speaker 2: their cozy homes. Moonbeams cascaded through the branches of the
00:36:22
Speaker 2: trees and danced slowly across the forest floor. The tired
00:36:31
Speaker 2: panda yawned again and lay down on the soft cloud.
00:36:40
Speaker 2: It was warm and snugly. A few moments later, the
00:36:48
Speaker 2: Green Dragon brought the cloud to a soft landing outside
00:36:54
Speaker 2: Bough's bamboo house. His grandma was waiting for him. She
00:37:01
Speaker 2: was surprised to see the dragon and waved shyly. Grandma
00:37:09
Speaker 2: stepped onto the cloud and took Bow into her arms.
00:37:15
Speaker 2: She gave the Green Dragon a silent thank you. She
00:37:21
Speaker 2: would have said thank you to Midnight too, where the
00:37:26
Speaker 2: little fairy was fast asleep. Bow's grandma stepped off the
00:37:34
Speaker 2: cloud with her sleeping grandson in her arms. The weather
00:37:41
Speaker 2: dragon said it had been a pleasure to meet them both,
00:37:46
Speaker 2: and that she would take Midnight home. She said goodbye
00:37:52
Speaker 2: and flew away on the fluffy cloud. Bow's mamma smiled
00:38:01
Speaker 2: softly at her grandson. She knew he would have lots
00:38:08
Speaker 2: of stories to tell her about dragons, but those stories
00:38:15
Speaker 2: could wait for another day. She took him inside and
00:38:23
Speaker 2: put him into his bed. She kissed him good night
00:38:30
Speaker 2: and left the room. That night, Boo dreamt about the
00:38:37
Speaker 2: amazing dragons he had met, the adventures they'd been on together,
00:38:45
Speaker 2: and the adventures they would have in the future.
