00:01:34

00:01:40
Speaker 1: of colorful coral and schools of pretty fish. This is
00:01:45
Speaker 1: the awkward Turtle meets Confidence the Bear, written by Joel Pim.
00:01:57
Speaker 1: As you snuggle deeper into your cozy let your imagination
00:02:02
Speaker 1: carry you away to a serene underwater kingdom, a magical
00:02:07
Speaker 1: place called Harmony Cove. The sunlight dances and darts across
00:02:13
Speaker 1: the surface of the water, creating a twinkling ceiling like
00:02:18
Speaker 1: a sky full of sparkling stars that dance around like ballerinas.
00:02:24
Speaker 1: Look around and see the corals like a vibrant carnival
00:02:28
Speaker 1: of shapes and sizes painted in every color you can imagine.
00:02:34
Speaker 1: They sway gently with the rhythm of the waves, adding
00:02:38
Speaker 1: to the soothing atmosphere. In this watery paradise, friendly fish
00:02:44
Speaker 1: swim gracefully, swirling and twirling through the crystal clear water,
00:02:50
Speaker 1: playing hide and seek with their friends. Their scales shimmer
00:02:54
Speaker 1: and glimmer, reflecting the light like precious gemstones in all
00:03:00
Speaker 1: sizes from the tiniest clownfish to the magnificent and majestic
00:03:05
Speaker 1: dolphins that dance around the surface of the water. You
00:03:10
Speaker 1: follow the dolphins up to the surface. As you reach
00:03:14
Speaker 1: the surface of the ocean, you feel the gentle rhythm
00:03:17
Speaker 1: of the water as the waves pass over you. You match
00:03:22
Speaker 1: your breath to the rhythm of the waves as they
00:03:25
Speaker 1: pass over your head. Breathing in and out, you feel
00:03:31
Speaker 1: the waves slowly move you from side to side. Continue
00:03:37
Speaker 1: to breathe in this way, feeling the way that the
00:03:41
Speaker 1: water rocks you into a feeling of deep relaxation, Breathing
00:03:48
Speaker 1: in and out. Breathing in and feel the waves crashing
00:03:59
Speaker 1: over you. Breathing in and out. That's right, breathing in,
00:04:08
Speaker 1: and as you breathe out one more time, you realize
00:04:12
Speaker 1: you've got so relaxed that you've sunk down to the
00:04:15
Speaker 1: bottom of the cove. The sand beneath your toes feels
00:04:20
Speaker 1: as soft as a fluffy pillow, inviting you to sink
00:04:24
Speaker 1: your feet in and relax even more. In this peaceful paradise.
00:04:33
Speaker 1: There's a special friend we're going to meet. His name
00:04:37
Speaker 1: is Echo. Echo is a small, shy turtle with a
00:04:41
Speaker 1: shell as green as the leafy as lettuce, and eyes
00:04:45
Speaker 1: as kind and blue as a summer sky. But whenever
00:04:49
Speaker 1: anyone comes near, Echo gets a bit scared. His heart
00:04:54
Speaker 1: beats fast, like the pitter patter of rain drops on
00:04:58
Speaker 1: a rooftop. He quickly tucks his head and flippers into
00:05:03
Speaker 1: his shell, hiding away from the world outside. It's in
00:05:08
Speaker 1: these moments that his shell becomes his safe haven, like
00:05:12
Speaker 1: a secret fort where he can be alone. While tucked
00:05:17
Speaker 1: safely in his shell, Echo often talks to himself, his
00:05:21
Speaker 1: gentle voice a soothing whisper. He wonders what the other
00:05:26
Speaker 1: fish think of him, and if they would ever want
00:05:29
Speaker 1: to be friends with a shy turtle like him. Do
00:05:34
Speaker 1: they think I'm strange for hiding away? Would they laugh
00:05:40
Speaker 1: if I tried to play with them? He asks himself quietly.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: As he speaks, his words echo softly around the inside
00:05:50
Speaker 1: of his shell, creating a comforting cocoon of sound that
00:05:55
Speaker 1: surrounds him. From inside his shell, he peers to see
00:06:01
Speaker 1: all the friendly sea creatures playing a fun game of
00:06:05
Speaker 1: hide and seek in the seaweed. On this particular day,
00:06:10
Speaker 1: Laughter filled the cove as they swam and hid, their
00:06:14
Speaker 1: scales shimmering with excitement, but Echo could only watch from
00:06:18
Speaker 1: the comfort of his cozy shell. He longed to join
00:06:22
Speaker 1: in the fun, to laugh and play hide and seek
00:06:26
Speaker 1: with friends, but a feeling of shyness held him back.
00:06:32
Speaker 1: As Echo continued to watch the game go on from
00:06:35
Speaker 1: his shell, he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
00:06:41
Speaker 1: He wanted to join the fun, to be a part
00:06:44
Speaker 1: of the lively games and laughter, but he wasn't sure how.
00:06:49
Speaker 1: He felt a nudge within his heart, a tiny voice
00:06:53
Speaker 1: that encouraged him to find answers, to figure out how
00:06:57
Speaker 1: he too could be part of the fun. And so,
00:07:02
Speaker 1: with a small flutter of determination, Echo decided to embark
00:07:06
Speaker 1: on a little adventure to find his confidence. He swam
00:07:11
Speaker 1: away from the familiar sights of harmony cove up towards
00:07:15
Speaker 1: the river that flowed into the sea. The river was
00:07:18
Speaker 1: a long, winding path of cool, flowing water, leading him
00:07:23
Speaker 1: away from the ocean and towards new discoveries. As he
00:07:28
Speaker 1: swam along the river, he marveled at the new sights
00:07:32
Speaker 1: and sounds. He saw tall trees standing proud on the banks,
00:07:39
Speaker 1: their leaves rustling gently in the breeze. He heard the
00:07:44
Speaker 1: songs of the birds their melody filling the air with
00:07:47
Speaker 1: a sweet, calming tune. Everything was new and exciting, and
00:07:54
Speaker 1: with each stroke of his tiny flippers, Echo felt his
00:07:58
Speaker 1: worries drifting away. And then there he was, sitting by
00:08:04
Speaker 1: the river bed, was a bear. But not just any bear.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: This was the coolest bear Echo had ever seen. Dressed
00:08:16
Speaker 1: in a snazzy leather jacket and shiny sunglasses, he had
00:08:20
Speaker 1: a vibe that was as warm as a sunny day.
00:08:24
Speaker 1: The bear was chit chatting with a group of other animals,
00:08:27
Speaker 1: their laughter and joy swirling around him like a happy cloud.
00:08:33
Speaker 1: This bear was called Confidence. Echo watched Confidence from his
00:08:38
Speaker 1: hiding spot, his eyes wide with awe. He pondered, how
00:08:46
Speaker 1: does Confidence do it? How could he be so brave
00:08:51
Speaker 1: and loved? Gathering up all his courage, Echo decided he
00:08:58
Speaker 1: would ask him. His heart was stumping like a drum
00:09:02
Speaker 1: boom boom, boom boom, as he slowly poked his head
00:09:07
Speaker 1: out from under his shell. Taking a deep breath, he
00:09:12
Speaker 1: swam towards the riverbank, but halfway there, his nerves got
00:09:17
Speaker 1: the better of him, and he quickly ducked back into
00:09:20
Speaker 1: his shell. But Echo knew he needed to try. He
00:09:24
Speaker 1: poked his head back out and continued swimming, repeating this
00:09:29
Speaker 1: a few more times until he finally reached the river
00:09:33
Speaker 1: bank and climbed out of the water towards Confidence. Echo's
00:09:38
Speaker 1: tiny voice was just above a whisper when he finally asked, Confidence,
00:09:45
Speaker 1: how do you do it? How do you make so
00:09:49
Speaker 1: many friends? Confidence turned his head and gave Echo a
00:09:55
Speaker 1: warm smile. Echo responded, his voice as soothing as a lullaby.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: It's all about believing in yourself, little dude. When you
00:10:10
Speaker 1: believe in yourself, others will believe in you too. Would
00:10:15
Speaker 1: you like me to teach you how? A wave of
00:10:19
Speaker 1: hope washed over Echo, like the sun breaking through the
00:10:23
Speaker 1: clouds after a storm. With a little nod, he eagerly
00:10:28
Speaker 1: agreed to Confidence his offer. His heart was still beating fast,
00:10:33
Speaker 1: but it wasn't just from nerves anymore. It was an
00:10:36
Speaker 1: excitement to learn and grow. Confidence led Echo to a
00:10:42
Speaker 1: smooth rock tucked away on a quiet riverbank, overlooking the
00:10:46
Speaker 1: river leading to Harmony Cove. This special spot was right
00:10:51
Speaker 1: next to the flowing river and was perfect for finding
00:10:55
Speaker 1: peace and calm. As Echo settled onto the rock, feeling
00:11:01
Speaker 1: its cool, comforting touch beneath his shell, He began to
00:11:05
Speaker 1: feel a sense of calmness wrap around him like a
00:11:09
Speaker 1: warm blanket. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath,
00:11:17
Speaker 1: letting his worries and self doubt drift away. Echo Confidence began,
00:11:26
Speaker 1: his voice as soothing as the rustling leaves in the wind.
00:11:32
Speaker 1: I want you to join me in a cool practice.
00:11:37
Speaker 1: It's calm meditation. It helps us feel calm and centered.
00:11:44
Speaker 1: It can even help us find our inner self worth.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: Are you ready, dude, Echo nodded, his heart full of anticipation. Awesome, dude, Confide,
00:12:00
Speaker 1: Evidence explained. Now let's begin. Close your eyes and take
00:12:07
Speaker 1: a deep breath, in and out, in and out. Confidence's
00:12:21
Speaker 1: voice was gentle, a soft rhythm, echoing the peaceful sound
00:12:27
Speaker 1: of the river flowing nearby. Now, I want you to
00:12:35
Speaker 1: imagine a small glowing ball of light in your heart.
00:12:42
Speaker 1: This light represents your inner self, your true self. Can
00:12:49
Speaker 1: you see it? Dude? That's great. Now, imagine that light
00:12:58
Speaker 1: growing brighter and brider with each breath you take, fear
00:13:06
Speaker 1: spreading warm throughout your body, from your head to your flippers. Now,
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Confidence continued, imagine this light speaking to you. It's saying, Echo,
00:13:29
Speaker 1: you are kind, you are brave. You are loved, you
00:13:38
Speaker 1: are friendly, and you are courageous. You have everything you
00:13:47
Speaker 1: need within you. Can you hear it, little dude, Echo,
00:13:55
Speaker 1: could hear the voice of his inner light. It's message
00:13:59
Speaker 1: Echo in his heart. That's your inner self belief, Echo,
00:14:06
Speaker 1: Confidence explained, it's always there, ready to support and guide you, dude.
00:14:14
Speaker 1: Whenever you feel shy or nervous, remember this life. Remember
00:14:21
Speaker 1: its message that you are kind, you are brave, you
00:14:27
Speaker 1: are loved, you are friendly, and you are courageous. You
00:14:35
Speaker 1: are kind, you are brave, you are loved, you are friendly,
00:14:43
Speaker 1: and you are courageous. You are kind, you are brave,
00:14:51
Speaker 1: you are loved, you are friendly, and you are courageous.
00:14:58
Speaker 1: Keep on repeat these special words when you feel scared,
00:15:03
Speaker 1: and you will let the waves of confidence roll on in.
00:15:10
Speaker 1: After their calming meditation, Confidence looked at Echo, his eyes
00:15:16
Speaker 1: twinkling with kindness. Echo, you did awesome. Now I want
00:15:24
Speaker 1: to share a special secret with you. These, he said,
00:15:29
Speaker 1: showing Echo three pebbles are the pebbles of self belief.
00:15:35
Speaker 1: They will help you become more confident. The first pebble
00:15:41
Speaker 1: was as red as a juicy cherry. This is the
00:15:45
Speaker 1: pebble of courage, said Confidence, It will remind you to
00:15:51
Speaker 1: be brave, just like a superhero. The second pebble was
00:15:56
Speaker 1: tough and rough. This is the pebble of persistence. It
00:16:02
Speaker 1: will help you remember to keep trying even when things
00:16:05
Speaker 1: get tricky. The third pebble was as yellow as a
00:16:10
Speaker 1: cheery sunflower. This is the pebble of compassion. It will
00:16:16
Speaker 1: remind you to be kind to yourself, just like you'd
00:16:21
Speaker 1: be kind to your best mate. If you look after
00:16:25
Speaker 1: these pebbles, they will look after you too. Echo cradled
00:16:31
Speaker 1: the pebbles gently in his shell, their reassuring weight a
00:16:36
Speaker 1: constant reminder of Confidence's words. He felt their strength seep
00:16:41
Speaker 1: into his heart, sparking a flame of courage she hadn't
00:16:45
Speaker 1: felt before. With a soft, grateful smile, he thanked Confidence,
00:16:52
Speaker 1: and with newfound determination, swam back towards the colorful spectacle
00:16:57
Speaker 1: that was Harmony Cove. As Echo paddled back to the cove,
00:17:04
Speaker 1: the water seemed to sparkle more vibrantly, each ripple echoing
00:17:09
Speaker 1: with the promise of a new beginning. The colorful corals
00:17:14
Speaker 1: danced with more cheer, and the sunlight shimmered with an
00:17:18
Speaker 1: extra touch of magic. Everything looked the same, yet everything
00:17:23
Speaker 1: felt different. It was as if Echo was seeing the
00:17:27
Speaker 1: world through new eyes, eyes full of hope and courage.
00:17:33
Speaker 1: As he approached the bustling scene of the cove, he
00:17:37
Speaker 1: noticed a group of sea animals engrossed in a lively
00:17:41
Speaker 1: game of hide and seek. Their laughter echoed through the water,
00:17:46
Speaker 1: their happiness infectious. Echo's heart began to flutter like a butterfly,
00:17:53
Speaker 1: a mix of nervousness and excitement. But then he remembered
00:17:59
Speaker 1: the powerful red pebble of courage. Nestled safely in his shell,
00:18:05
Speaker 1: with the pebble's power pulsating through him, he took a deep,
00:18:10
Speaker 1: calming breath that echoed the rhythm of the waves, plucking
00:18:16
Speaker 1: up all his courage. Echo swam closer, His voice, usually
00:18:22
Speaker 1: as soft as a sea breeze, now carried an undertone
00:18:26
Speaker 1: of determination as he asked, can I join your game?
00:18:32
Speaker 1: The words floated out into the open water, and for
00:18:37
Speaker 1: a moment, everything seemed to freeze. To his amazement, the
00:18:43
Speaker 1: sea creatures turned towards him, their faces lighting up with bright,
00:18:49
Speaker 1: welcoming smiles. Of course, Echo, we'd love to have you,
00:18:56
Speaker 1: they exclaimed. Their voices rang out as warm and inviting
00:19:01
Speaker 1: as a crackling campfire on a chilly night. They're welcome
00:19:06
Speaker 1: as comforting as a soft, snugly blanket. Echo felt a
00:19:12
Speaker 1: rush of happiness wash over him. For the first time,
00:19:17
Speaker 1: he didn't feel like an outsider looking in. He felt
00:19:21
Speaker 1: a part of something, a part of this colorful, vibrant
00:19:26
Speaker 1: community in Harmony Cove, and as he swam closer to
00:19:31
Speaker 1: join the game, his heart echoed with the rhythm of
00:19:35
Speaker 1: joy and newfound confidence. As Echo joined in the fun,
00:19:41
Speaker 1: his heart filled with joy. He realized that by taking
00:19:47
Speaker 1: that brave step, he hadn't just joined a game, he'd
00:19:52
Speaker 1: made new friends. He felt a sense of belonging, knowing
00:19:57
Speaker 1: that he was accepted just the way he was. As
00:20:01
Speaker 1: he swam and played with his new found friends, he
00:20:05
Speaker 1: knew that his courage had opened a whole new world
00:20:09
Speaker 1: of joy and possibilities, and so Echoed joined the game,
00:20:17
Speaker 1: feeling a little nervous at first, but soon the warm
00:20:21
Speaker 1: giggles of his new friends melted his nerves away. With
00:20:26
Speaker 1: each passing moment, he felt more and more at ease,
00:20:32
Speaker 1: his laughter joining the merry chorus of his friends bouncing
00:20:37
Speaker 1: and echoing around the cove. The game was full of
00:20:42
Speaker 1: fun and laughter. The seaweeds swished and swirled as they
00:20:47
Speaker 1: hid and soorked, their bodies, darting and diving between the seaweed.
00:20:54
Speaker 1: Every so often someone would burst out from a hiding place,
00:20:59
Speaker 1: sending a scatter of tiny bubbles floating up to the surface.
00:21:04
Speaker 1: Echo was right in the middle of it all, his
00:21:07
Speaker 1: shell no longer a barrier, but a part of the fun.
00:21:12
Speaker 1: As the sun began to set, painting the sky with
00:21:16
Speaker 1: strokes of pink and orange, Echo felt a warmth in
00:21:21
Speaker 1: his heart. The day had been full of joy, and
00:21:25
Speaker 1: as he looked at his new friends, he knew he
00:21:28
Speaker 1: had made the right choice. He had found his place
00:21:33
Speaker 1: in the cove, not as an observer from the sidelines,
00:21:37
Speaker 1: but as part of the lively community. His journey of
00:21:42
Speaker 1: finding courage, persisting in the face of fear, and showing
00:21:47
Speaker 1: kindness to himself had led him to this beautiful moment.
00:21:53
Speaker 1: He was no longer the shy turtle who watched from afar.
00:21:57
Speaker 1: He was Echo, the bread and friendly turtle who faced
00:22:02
Speaker 1: his fears and found a whole new world of friendship
00:22:07
Speaker 1: and fun. As the day came to a close, Echo
00:22:13
Speaker 1: found himself back at his cozy spot in the sand,
00:22:18
Speaker 1: He looked at the three pebbles of self belief, courage, compassion,
00:22:24
Speaker 1: and persistence and smiled. They had been his guides today,
00:22:31
Speaker 1: his little reminders of the strength that he carried within him.
00:22:37
Speaker 1: He held them close to his heart and whispered a
00:22:41
Speaker 1: quiet thank you. As the stars began to twinkle in
00:22:46
Speaker 1: the night sky, reflecting off the calm surface of the sea,
00:22:52
Speaker 1: Echo felt a sense of peace wash over him. He
00:22:57
Speaker 1: was ready to face whatever came next with a brave heart,
00:23:02
Speaker 1: a persistent spirit, and a kind soul. Echo slowly withdrew
00:23:11
Speaker 1: into his shell, his little flippers tucking in one by one,
00:23:17
Speaker 1: not out of fear, but from a soft wave of
00:23:21
Speaker 1: tiredness that gently washed over him. His day full of
00:23:28
Speaker 1: adventures had finally caught up with him, and he welcomed
00:23:33
Speaker 1: the calmness of his cozy shell, just like how you
00:23:37
Speaker 1: might welcome your soft, fluffy bed after a long day
00:23:41
Speaker 1: of play. Inside his shell, it was quiet and peaceful,
00:23:49
Speaker 1: like a secret hideaway. It was just him and the
00:23:54
Speaker 1: comforting echo of his voice. Well done, Echo, he murmured
00:24:02
Speaker 1: softly to himself. His voice filled the small space, bouncing
00:24:09
Speaker 1: off the shells walls, creating a soothing echo. That swirled
00:24:15
Speaker 1: around him like a warm, comforting hug. You did it,
00:24:22
Speaker 1: You overcame your fears, and you now have new friends
00:24:27
Speaker 1: that you can play with tomorrow. The words felt good,
00:24:33
Speaker 1: like a pat on the back from a good friend.
00:24:37
Speaker 1: They felt encouraged and filled him with love. His heart
00:24:43
Speaker 1: fluttered with joy, like a butterfly dancing in the sun.
00:24:50
Speaker 1: As his whisper slowly faded, the soft smile spread across
00:24:56
Speaker 1: his face. He felt love, truly loved, and the most
00:25:04
Speaker 1: wonderful thing was this love was coming from within him.
00:25:10
Speaker 1: Echo realized he didn't just gain new friends today, he
00:25:17
Speaker 1: also found a new friend in himself. His eyelids grew
00:25:23
Speaker 1: heavier and his breathing slowed down. The sound of his
00:25:31
Speaker 1: own heartbeat echoed softly in his ears, a comforting rhythm
00:25:39
Speaker 1: that lulled him closer to the land of dreams. The
00:25:45
Speaker 1: day's adventures replayed in his mind like a soothing lullaby,
00:25:53
Speaker 1: each memory a note of happiness with a final can
00:26:00
Speaker 1: tented sigh. Echo slowly drifted off to a deep rest
00:26:08
Speaker 1: for sleep.
