In tonight's story, we're meeting Katie and Bobby on their way back from the toy library. This time, they picked a fluffy capybara toy and a little wobbly maze. It's not long before the magic kicks in and they find themselves in a giant labyrinth riding on the back of a real life capybara! Relax, get sleepy, and let’s begin!

Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Koala Moon, your 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. Today we're giving a big, warm Cocoa Club.
00:00:24
Speaker 1: Welcome to Adda from Maine, to Elsie from Plymouth, to
00:00:29
Speaker 1: Leilah from Neston, UK, to cooper Aged nine, and to
00:00:35
Speaker 1: Ellana Jane from Michigan. You're all heroes for subscribing to
00:00:39
Speaker 1: us for the year and hopefully beyond. Thanks to families
00:00:43
Speaker 1: like yours supporting us, we can keep writing and perfecting
00:00:47
Speaker 1: our podcast, which reminds me we recently received a story
00:00:52
Speaker 1: idea about a ballet dancing duck from an anonymous listener,
00:00:56
Speaker 1: which is coming out soon. We really do read everything.
00:00:59
Speaker 1: If it was your idea, tell us your name. Meanwhile,
00:01:03
Speaker 1: Coco clubbers, enjoy all your unlocked premium episodes and please
00:01:08
Speaker 1: tell all your friends about us. Okay, hands up. If
00:01:13
Speaker 1: you use a toy library, I think they're a genius idea,
00:01:18
Speaker 1: and so do our young siblings Katie and Bobby. Every
00:01:22
Speaker 1: time they use the library, they open a portal into
00:01:25
Speaker 1: a new adventure. Perhaps you recall that they've met dragons
00:01:29
Speaker 1: in the supermarket, dinosaurs in the castle, Teddy bears in
00:01:33
Speaker 1: a submarine, even unicorns in space. But tonight we're shortly
00:01:38
Speaker 1: going with them to take another trip to the Magic
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Toy Library, where they pick a board game and a
00:01:44
Speaker 1: cuddly toy animal. So far, so normal, only these are
00:01:50
Speaker 1: enchanted toys, of course, and let's see what happens when
00:01:54
Speaker 1: they get them home. Give me a wink if you
00:01:57
Speaker 1: like board games, give me a blink if you like
00:02:01
Speaker 1: cuddly toys. Okay, now close both your eyes and smile.
00:02:06
Speaker 1: If you like magic perfect, Now it's time to lie back.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: Keep those eyes gently closed and see if you can
00:02:15
Speaker 1: get a teensy bit more snugly under your covers. Relax
00:02:21
Speaker 1: your whole body, keep your eyes closed as I begin
00:02:26
Speaker 1: the Magic Toy Library Cappy Barras in the Maize by
00:02:31
Speaker 1: Alicia Ainslie. It had been a while since Katie and
00:02:42
Speaker 1: Bobby had paid a visit to the Magic Toy Library.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: School had gotten very busy, and they had so many
00:02:49
Speaker 1: birthday parties each weekend that they barely had any time
00:02:52
Speaker 1: to stop. But one rainy Sunday, Katie and Bobby's mum
00:02:58
Speaker 1: decided it was time for them to pay another visit
00:03:01
Speaker 1: to the library. That sparked such joy and imagination in them. Plus,
00:03:06
Speaker 1: their mum needed a new book to read, and there
00:03:08
Speaker 1: was always an excellent selection for her to choose from
00:03:12
Speaker 1: At the library. While their mum picked out her latest book,
00:03:16
Speaker 1: Katie and Bobby rifled through the toys and made their selection.
00:03:21
Speaker 1: Katie picked out a board game and Bobby chose a
00:03:25
Speaker 1: cuddly toy shaped like a cappy barra. A kapy barra
00:03:29
Speaker 1: is an animal that looks sort of like an overgrown
00:03:32
Speaker 1: guinea pig, and the real ones can be found in
00:03:35
Speaker 1: South America, swimming through jungle ponds and napping in grasslands.
00:03:41
Speaker 1: The little kapy barra toy was orange and fuzzy, with
00:03:45
Speaker 1: a big, rounded snout and two tiny ears on top
00:03:49
Speaker 1: of its head. It had a rotund belly stuffed with fluff,
00:03:55
Speaker 1: and four little legs that looked teensy in comparison to
00:03:59
Speaker 1: its big body head. There was a very funny looking
00:04:03
Speaker 1: animal indeed, but Bobby loved it. With their toys in hand, Katie,
00:04:10
Speaker 1: Bobby and their mother returned home with their selections while
00:04:15
Speaker 1: mum read her book in her favorite armchair by the
00:04:18
Speaker 1: living room window. Katie and Bobby went into the garden
00:04:23
Speaker 1: to inspect their toys further. Katie shook the board game
00:04:28
Speaker 1: box close to her ear and heard the pieces inside
00:04:32
Speaker 1: rattle and shake. Meanwhile, Bobby affectionately snuggled his fluffy Cappy
00:04:38
Speaker 1: bar A toy. I think I'm going to call him
00:04:43
Speaker 1: fuzzy Sam, Bobby announced, proudly gazing at his borrowed toy.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Katie didn't respond because she was so busy inspecting her game. Choice.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: How do we play your game? Bobby asked, holding his
00:05:00
Speaker 1: cuddly Cappy bar A toy close. Katie turned over the
00:05:05
Speaker 1: box and read the instructions on the back. She read aloud,
00:05:11
Speaker 1: we need to wobble the board to direct the marble
00:05:16
Speaker 1: around the maze to reach the pot of gold in
00:05:19
Speaker 1: the center. That sounds fun, Bobby declared. It does sound fun,
00:05:26
Speaker 1: Katie agreed, before adding with a smirk. Wouldn't it be
00:05:31
Speaker 1: cool if the game came to life and we could
00:05:35
Speaker 1: wander around the maze for ourselves. Bobby grinned that does
00:05:41
Speaker 1: sound like a fun idea, before sighing, but do you
00:05:48
Speaker 1: think that board games from the toy library hold magic
00:05:51
Speaker 1: in them? Too? Katie smiled cheekily and responded, there's only
00:05:59
Speaker 1: one way to find out. She closed her eyes and
00:06:04
Speaker 1: held the board game in her hands. She took a
00:06:07
Speaker 1: deep breath and whispered wistfully, I wish that this board
00:06:15
Speaker 1: game could grow a thousand times bigger so that we
00:06:20
Speaker 1: could play the game for real. Excited by the prospect
00:06:26
Speaker 1: of another adventure from the Magic Toy Library, Bobby chirped
00:06:30
Speaker 1: in spontaneously, and I wished that this toy CuPy Bara
00:06:36
Speaker 1: could grow a hundred times its size and come to
00:06:39
Speaker 1: life too, And I wish it could talk. Katie and
00:06:45
Speaker 1: Bobby giggled and watched as before their eyes the extraordinary happened.
00:06:52
Speaker 1: Wisps of purple and gold glitter cascaded out of their
00:06:57
Speaker 1: two toys and floated up into the air. The mystical
00:07:02
Speaker 1: magic coming from the toys kept growing and growing, until
00:07:07
Speaker 1: Katie and Bobby could barely see anything pass the sparkling
00:07:12
Speaker 1: fog around them. Eventually, all the glitter evaporated away, and
00:07:20
Speaker 1: Katie and Bobby gasped with amazement as they saw what
00:07:24
Speaker 1: had appeared in place of their garden. Ahead of them
00:07:30
Speaker 1: was the entrance to a giant maze with tall walls
00:07:34
Speaker 1: made out of swirling green, ivy and white and red flowers.
00:07:41
Speaker 1: It was a very pretty maze, and at the side
00:07:45
Speaker 1: of the entrance door was a wooden sign with the
00:07:48
Speaker 1: word welcome carved into it. Katie and Bobby laughed and
00:07:55
Speaker 1: raced towards the entrance to the maize. They couldn't wait
00:07:59
Speaker 1: to get inside. I'm so glad it worked, Katie professed,
00:08:06
Speaker 1: approaching the entrance, may too. Bobby agreed, although, where is
00:08:14
Speaker 1: my Cappy Bara. Bobby looked around for signs of his
00:08:18
Speaker 1: fluffy toy, but he couldn't see it anywhere. He sighed
00:08:23
Speaker 1: with disappointment and followed his sister towards the maze. Maybe
00:08:29
Speaker 1: the toy didn't have magic in it this time. However,
00:08:34
Speaker 1: just as the siblings reached the open door to the maze,
00:08:38
Speaker 1: a voice from within called out, hell dif friends. Katie
00:08:44
Speaker 1: and Bobby stopped in their tracks with surprise and watched
00:08:49
Speaker 1: as a friendly face peeped out from between the flowery
00:08:52
Speaker 1: maze walls. The huge orange face had a long, rounded
00:08:58
Speaker 1: snout with two big nostrils and tiny ears on top
00:09:03
Speaker 1: of its head. Bobby gasped and whispered excitedly, it's my
00:09:09
Speaker 1: Cappy Barra, the giant orange Cappy Barra stepped out of
00:09:16
Speaker 1: the maze. Bobby's wish had certainly come true. His toy
00:09:23
Speaker 1: had grown a hundred times its size, at least. The
00:09:28
Speaker 1: enchanted Fuzzy cappy Bara smiled, revealing a pair of bucked
00:09:34
Speaker 1: teeth and announced, how dear friends, my name is Fuzzy Sam,
00:09:41
Speaker 1: and I'll be your guard do the maize today. Fuzzy
00:09:46
Speaker 1: Sam was wearing a little red baseball cap on his
00:09:49
Speaker 1: head with a short flag and pole sticking out at
00:09:53
Speaker 1: the top of it. Katie assumed this was so that
00:09:56
Speaker 1: they didn't lose him around the maze. He was eager
00:10:01
Speaker 1: to get going and explore the winding maze within the
00:10:04
Speaker 1: ivy shrouded walls. Do you know the way to the
00:10:09
Speaker 1: pot of gold, she questioned Fuzzy Sam. The giant kappy
00:10:13
Speaker 1: Bara um not exactly, Fuzzy Sam replied, as the flagpole
00:10:21
Speaker 1: attached to his red cap twirled on the spot. Katie frowned.
00:10:27
Speaker 1: How can you be a tour guide if you don't
00:10:31
Speaker 1: know the way around? She asked, quite rightly. Fuzzy Sam
00:10:37
Speaker 1: chattered his buck teeth in thought and replied, well, nobody
00:10:42
Speaker 1: knows the way around a may really do they? That's
00:10:47
Speaker 1: the whole point of a maize. They are made for
00:10:51
Speaker 1: you to get lost in, but there's always a way out,
00:10:57
Speaker 1: or in this case, away to the pot of gold.
00:11:02
Speaker 1: Katie wasn't convinced that Fuzzy Sam was going to be
00:11:05
Speaker 1: an expert tour guide, but she was willing to take
00:11:08
Speaker 1: a chance on him. After all, she had followed unicorns
00:11:12
Speaker 1: through space and Teddy Bears in a submarine before. Now
00:11:17
Speaker 1: what could be any different about allowing a giant cappy
00:11:21
Speaker 1: bara to guide her to a pot of gold. Bobby
00:11:25
Speaker 1: took his sister's hand in his and gave it a squeeze.
00:11:29
Speaker 1: Shall we go on another adventuresis? He asked. Katie smiled
00:11:36
Speaker 1: back at her sweet younger brother, and then looked at
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Sam, their tour guide, and said lead the way.
00:11:45
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Sam clicked his feet together delightedly. Then the flag
00:11:49
Speaker 1: on his cap stood to attention. Follow me, he declared.
00:11:56
Speaker 1: He turned around and walked into the maze, with the
00:11:59
Speaker 1: cure barious brother and sister following behind. As soon as
00:12:05
Speaker 1: they all stepped foot in the maize, the ground began
00:12:08
Speaker 1: to slowly shift from side to side like they were
00:12:12
Speaker 1: standing on a boat, and the ivy walls shimmered around them.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Sam continued to walk on as if nothing were happening.
00:12:24
Speaker 1: He seemed totally unfazed by it, while Katie and Bobby
00:12:29
Speaker 1: stood still, watching their knees wobble like jelly. What's happening,
00:12:36
Speaker 1: Bobby asked Fuzzy Sam. The giant kappy Bara answered, didn't
00:12:43
Speaker 1: you read the box before you started the game? The
00:12:47
Speaker 1: board moves, but don't worry. It doesn't do it all
00:12:52
Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes it stops for a while. Their fluffy
00:12:59
Speaker 1: tour guide continued to trot down the maze path, and
00:13:03
Speaker 1: Katie and Bobby attempted to keep up, rocking from side
00:13:07
Speaker 1: to side and sometimes stumbling into the flowery walls. Giggling,
00:13:12
Speaker 1: how can barely walk? The floor is so wobbly, Bobby
00:13:16
Speaker 1: called out to his sister as he tried to walk
00:13:19
Speaker 1: in a straight line. The trick is to move with
00:13:24
Speaker 1: the moving floor. Fuzzy Sam recommended, don't fight against it,
00:13:31
Speaker 1: roll with the waves. The giant kappy Bara expertly walked
00:13:37
Speaker 1: along the corridor as cool as a cucumber, never falling
00:13:41
Speaker 1: over or tripping over his feet. Once Katie and Bobby
00:13:47
Speaker 1: tried to take his advice, As the floor dipped to
00:13:51
Speaker 1: the left, they carefully stepped their feet to the left too.
00:13:56
Speaker 1: Then as the floor swayed to the right, they wore
00:14:00
Speaker 1: looked back in the opposite direction. The more they practiced it,
00:14:04
Speaker 1: the easier it became, and soon they were swaying along
00:14:09
Speaker 1: with the moving ground, just like Fuzzy Sam was left
00:14:14
Speaker 1: to right, left to right, left to right. You see,
00:14:21
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Sam said, it's easy once you get the hang
00:14:25
Speaker 1: of it. After a few more moments, the ground stopped
00:14:31
Speaker 1: moving and the maze fell still. Oh good, Katie said,
00:14:38
Speaker 1: my legs were beginning to get tired. Fuzzy Sam chuckled
00:14:44
Speaker 1: and offered, you can climb on my back for a
00:14:48
Speaker 1: ride if you want, but remember to hold on. It
00:14:53
Speaker 1: can be a bumpy ride. Katie and Bobby liked the
00:14:57
Speaker 1: idea of riding around on a giant kapy bara's back,
00:15:01
Speaker 1: so Fuzzy Sam lowered himself closer to the ground and
00:15:06
Speaker 1: the siblings climbed aboard. They rode Fuzzy Sam all the
00:15:11
Speaker 1: way to the end of the corridor until they reached
00:15:15
Speaker 1: the crossroads. There, they came across two different paths, veering
00:15:20
Speaker 1: off in different directions. Now which way shall we go,
00:15:27
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Sam asked the kids. I thought you were supposed
00:15:32
Speaker 1: to be our tour guide, Katie asked. Fuzzy Sam replied,
00:15:38
Speaker 1: I am, but remember a maze is a maze, and
00:15:43
Speaker 1: it's never the same twice. I don't know the way
00:15:47
Speaker 1: around any better than you do. If all a guessing game.
00:15:54
Speaker 1: Katie and Bobby observed the two options. Each path looked
00:15:59
Speaker 1: exactly the same as the other. It was hard to
00:16:02
Speaker 1: tell which way was the right way? Shall we do?
00:16:08
Speaker 1: Iip dip doo, Bobby asked Katie, but she shook her head. No,
00:16:14
Speaker 1: it's okay, she replied. I think let's go to the right.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Sam clicked his heels together again, and the flagpole
00:16:24
Speaker 1: on his cap span. You're the bath, he exclaimed. Katie
00:16:32
Speaker 1: and Bobby rode along on Fuzzy Sam's back down the
00:16:35
Speaker 1: maze path to the right and followed it for a
00:16:39
Speaker 1: while as it snaked around the maze. Every now and
00:16:43
Speaker 1: then they would round a corner which would lead them
00:16:46
Speaker 1: to another two paths to choose from. Each time they
00:16:51
Speaker 1: would pick a new route which would lead them onto
00:16:54
Speaker 1: another path, and another path, and another, on and on
00:17:00
Speaker 1: and on deeper into the maze. From time to time,
00:17:06
Speaker 1: the maze floor would wobble and shift, for Fuzzy Sam
00:17:10
Speaker 1: would expertly maneuver it like he had done a thousand
00:17:14
Speaker 1: times before. Katie and Bobby found it much more pleasant
00:17:20
Speaker 1: to deal with the swaying maze from upon Fuzzy Sam's
00:17:23
Speaker 1: back than standing on their own feet. In fact, it
00:17:28
Speaker 1: was quite relaxing feeling the room sway from side to side.
00:17:34
Speaker 1: At one point, Bobby couldn't help but close his eyes
00:17:38
Speaker 1: and take a little nap on their cappy Bara's back,
00:17:41
Speaker 1: much to his sister's amusement. But as to be expected
00:17:47
Speaker 1: when wandering around a maze, every so often, just as
00:17:53
Speaker 1: they thought they were making progress, they would reach a
00:17:56
Speaker 1: dead end. Oh dear, we went the wrong way, Bobby said.
00:18:03
Speaker 1: The first time they reached the wall blocking their path,
00:18:08
Speaker 1: the three of them retraced their steps and went a
00:18:12
Speaker 1: different way. However, inevitably, they eventually reached another dead end,
00:18:20
Speaker 1: and another dead end, and another. It feels like we've
00:18:26
Speaker 1: been wandering around the maze for eges, Katie laughed as
00:18:32
Speaker 1: they reached another dead end. I wonder if we will
00:18:37
Speaker 1: ever find the pot of gold, Bobby added, don't worry,
00:18:43
Speaker 1: my friends, Fuzzy Sam said. The pot of gold has
00:18:49
Speaker 1: to be around here, somewhere, and we will find it.
00:18:54
Speaker 1: Maybe we just need to call for some reinforcements. What
00:18:59
Speaker 1: do you mean, Katie queried suspiciously. To her surprise, Fuzzy
00:19:07
Speaker 1: Sam whistled loudly, and the high pitched sound echoed through
00:19:12
Speaker 1: the halls of the Maze. Suddenly, the maze floor started
00:19:17
Speaker 1: to quiver and they could all hear a rumbling sound.
00:19:23
Speaker 1: It didn't feel like the last couple of times when
00:19:26
Speaker 1: the May's floor wobbled and moved, though, something felt different
00:19:31
Speaker 1: on this occasion. What's that noise, Bobby asked with confusion.
00:19:39
Speaker 1: It sounds like a stampede of elephants, Katie commented, now
00:19:46
Speaker 1: quite Fuzzy Sam smiled, it sounds more like a stampede
00:19:53
Speaker 1: of cabby barrs to me. All of a sudden, a
00:19:58
Speaker 1: herd of giant and fluffy cappy baras rounded the corner
00:20:03
Speaker 1: and swept towards them. There must have been ten of them,
00:20:09
Speaker 1: and they were all as big as Fuzzy Sam. Some
00:20:13
Speaker 1: of them might even have been bigger. Howdy, my friends,
00:20:18
Speaker 1: we need your help, Fuzzy Sam called out, and the
00:20:23
Speaker 1: group of approaching cappy Baras came to a halt right
00:20:27
Speaker 1: in front of them. Bobby's mouth fell open in awe.
00:20:33
Speaker 1: He had never seen so many giant kappy barers before.
00:20:39
Speaker 1: Then again, he had never actually seen a giant kapy
00:20:42
Speaker 1: barra before today. All of the kapy Baras had orange
00:20:48
Speaker 1: fur and wore small baseball caps on their heads with
00:20:51
Speaker 1: flags on top, just like Fuzzy Sam. Each kafy Bara's
00:20:57
Speaker 1: cap was a different color, which made them easier to
00:21:01
Speaker 1: differentiate between. Fuzzy Sam introduced Katie and Bobby to his friends.
00:21:08
Speaker 1: There was Squeaky Gee in the blue cap and Snorty
00:21:12
Speaker 1: Sal wearing the green cap. Fluffy Riz wore a purple cap,
00:21:18
Speaker 1: and Chumpy Chuck donned a white cap. Incredibly, it turned
00:21:23
Speaker 1: out that all the kappy Baras were tour guides for
00:21:26
Speaker 1: the Maize, so they would be the perfect group to
00:21:30
Speaker 1: ask for directions to the pot of gold. Katie explained
00:21:35
Speaker 1: to the herd how they were looking for the pot
00:21:38
Speaker 1: of gold to win the game, but they had only
00:21:40
Speaker 1: found dead end after dead end so far. Have any
00:21:46
Speaker 1: of you seen the pot of gold recently? Bobby inquired hopefully.
00:21:52
Speaker 1: The herd of Kapy Baras mumbled between themselves curiously, before
00:21:57
Speaker 1: one wearing a yellow cap and flu replied, I saw
00:22:02
Speaker 1: the pot of gold an hour ago, but we'll have
00:22:06
Speaker 1: to hurry if we want to find it again. The
00:22:09
Speaker 1: maze regularly moves it to keep us tour guides on
00:22:12
Speaker 1: our toes, Katie exclaimed. Then there's no time to lose.
00:22:19
Speaker 1: Lead the way. The herd of Capybaras cried out in
00:22:24
Speaker 1: unison to the part of gold. Then they all clicked
00:22:30
Speaker 1: their feet together and the flags on their caps twizzled
00:22:34
Speaker 1: before they turned around and scurried off the way they came.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Sam, Katie and Bobby followed behind. They all weaved
00:22:45
Speaker 1: down corridors, taking turn after turn and navigating wobbling floors
00:22:52
Speaker 1: until eventually the stampedes stopped as they reached a big
00:22:57
Speaker 1: square room with a giant bronze pot in the middle.
00:23:03
Speaker 1: Overflowing out of the pot were hundreds of glittering nuggets
00:23:08
Speaker 1: of gold. Katie and Bobby cheered with success and hopped
00:23:14
Speaker 1: down from Fuzzy Sam's back. We've found the pot of gold,
00:23:21
Speaker 1: cried Katie, delightedly. We've won the game. She hugged her
00:23:28
Speaker 1: brother and they danced around with joy. They thanked the
00:23:32
Speaker 1: herd of cappy baras for their help. They were very grateful.
00:23:38
Speaker 1: You might not have found the pot of gold without them.
00:23:42
Speaker 1: The room began to sway again. God claim your prize,
00:23:48
Speaker 1: my friends, Fuzzy Sam said with a proud smile, tilting
00:23:54
Speaker 1: his little red baseball cap to them. Thank you for everything.
00:24:00
Speaker 1: Katie thanked their cappy bar a friend, and Bobby gave
00:24:04
Speaker 1: him a big hug. It looked like they would have
00:24:09
Speaker 1: to do the last bit on their own. Katie and
00:24:14
Speaker 1: Bobby stumbled into the middle of the room, aiming for
00:24:18
Speaker 1: the bot of Gold, which stayed put in the center.
00:24:22
Speaker 1: The maize rocked them from side to side. Katie grabbed
00:24:28
Speaker 1: her brother's hand and reminded him what Fuzzy Sam had
00:24:32
Speaker 1: told them earlier. Fuzzy Sam had said to move with
00:24:36
Speaker 1: the moving floor, not against it. Katie and Bobby persevered.
00:24:44
Speaker 1: Each time the floor moved to the left, they allowed
00:24:48
Speaker 1: it to take them with it, and each time it
00:24:51
Speaker 1: rocked to the right, they swayed that way too. They
00:24:57
Speaker 1: patiently made their way across the room boom together, finally
00:25:02
Speaker 1: reaching their goal in the middle. Katie and Bobby stepped
00:25:08
Speaker 1: up to the pot of gold and reached inside to
00:25:12
Speaker 1: each take a golden nugget. As both of their hands
00:25:18
Speaker 1: touched the pieces of gold, a surge of soothing warmth
00:25:22
Speaker 1: flooded through them, and the gold in the pot started
00:25:27
Speaker 1: to glow brighter and brighter, until it shone so brightly
00:25:32
Speaker 1: that Katie and Bobby had to close their eyes. Katie
00:25:37
Speaker 1: and Bobby felt their bodies floating in mid air as
00:25:41
Speaker 1: the magic of the pot of gold flowed over them.
00:25:46
Speaker 1: They felt calm and happy and a little bit sleepy
00:25:51
Speaker 1: from all the rocking, and within a few moments they
00:25:55
Speaker 1: opened their eyes again to find themselves back in the garden.
00:26:01
Speaker 1: Like before, the maize had disappeared, and all that was
00:26:06
Speaker 1: left behind was the board game box on the ground
00:26:11
Speaker 1: and a cuddly Cappy bar A toy next to it.
00:26:16
Speaker 1: Katie and Bobby lay down on the grass next to
00:26:20
Speaker 1: their borrowed toys and sighed. They felt thoroughly exhausted after
00:26:28
Speaker 1: such a wonderful adventure. Bobby held the Kappy bar A
00:26:34
Speaker 1: toy to his chest and wrapped his arms around it tightly.
00:26:40
Speaker 1: He whispered to the stuffed animal sweet Dreams, Fuzzy Sam,
00:26:47
Speaker 1: before quickly falling asleep on the ground. Katie giggled to
00:26:53
Speaker 1: herself as she watched her little brother fall asleep so easily,
00:26:59
Speaker 1: But she she wasn't laughing for long as she readily
00:27:03
Speaker 1: succumbed to the pull of sleep. Shortly after. She was
00:27:08
Speaker 1: very tired too. She closed her eyes and curled up tight,
00:27:16
Speaker 1: placing her hands underneath her cheek like a pillow. The
00:27:23
Speaker 1: grass was soft beneath her body, and the afternoon sun
00:27:29
Speaker 1: was warm on her skin. It may have been a
00:27:35
Speaker 1: long while since they had last visited the Magic Toy Library,
00:27:42
Speaker 1: but it had been worth the weight. Katie drifted off
00:27:48
Speaker 1: to sleep next to her brother, fulfilled from another adventure
00:27:55
Speaker 1: and feeling safe in the knowledge that anything is possible
00:28:02
Speaker 1: thanks to a sprinkle of magic.
