Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Coco Sleep, a podcast of
00:00:15
Speaker 1: original children's bedtime stories and meditations designed to make bedtime
00:00:20
Speaker 1: a dream. I really hope you don't hear my tummy
00:00:24
Speaker 1: rumble during this story. All the descriptions of the delicious
00:00:29
Speaker 1: food loved by various animals are very tantalizing and extremely tempting.
00:00:35
Speaker 1: Tonight we travel back to a far away land and
00:00:38
Speaker 1: meet Littlefoot and Snowbell again. In this story, we'll hear
00:00:43
Speaker 1: how Snowbell makes a delicious plate of scrumptious spaghetti for
00:00:46
Speaker 1: her friend. Littlefoot has never eaten spaghetti before and thinks
00:00:52
Speaker 1: it's the tastiest food ever. He decides everyone should know
00:00:58
Speaker 1: how wonderful spaghetti, and with a container full of the
00:01:02
Speaker 1: yummy pasta, he sets off on an adventure, an adventure
00:01:07
Speaker 1: that ends in the most delightful of ways. So lie
00:01:12
Speaker 1: back in your bed and give your fingers and toes
00:01:15
Speaker 1: a little wiggle until they want to settle. Close your
00:01:20
Speaker 1: eyes and relax your face, gently closing your mouth and
00:01:27
Speaker 1: letting your tongue relax down behind your teeth. Take a
00:01:32
Speaker 1: deep breath in and then let it out as you
00:01:37
Speaker 1: relax further down into your bed. This is The Yetti
00:01:43
Speaker 1: Who Loved Spaghetti by Jillian Rogerson. Snowflakes fell softly on
00:01:57
Speaker 1: a young yetti as he walked through a snow covered forest.
00:02:01
Speaker 1: The Yetti was called Littlefort, and he was on his
00:02:05
Speaker 1: way to meet his best friend, snow Bell. She was
00:02:09
Speaker 1: a kind hearted snow bear, and they'd met a few
00:02:12
Speaker 1: weeks ago and had become the very best of friends.
00:02:16
Speaker 1: Snow Bell had invited Littlefoot to a market that was
00:02:19
Speaker 1: being held near her village. Littlefoot lived in the caves
00:02:23
Speaker 1: high up in the mountains with his family and had
00:02:27
Speaker 1: never been to a market before. He didn't even know
00:02:31
Speaker 1: what a market was, But being a curious yeti, he
00:02:35
Speaker 1: had said yes straightway to Snowbell's invitation. She had given
00:02:40
Speaker 1: him directions to the market and said she'd meet him
00:02:43
Speaker 1: outside the candyfloss store there. Littlefoot did know what candyfloss
00:02:49
Speaker 1: was because snow Bell had brought some with her when
00:02:52
Speaker 1: she'd visited Littlefoot's home. He had loved how the pink,
00:02:56
Speaker 1: sticky floss had melted in his mouth like magic yum.
00:03:02
Speaker 1: Littlefurt had brought some pocket money with him to buy
00:03:05
Speaker 1: some treats for his family. He knew candyfloss would be
00:03:10
Speaker 1: one of those treats. The young Yetti continued walking towards
00:03:15
Speaker 1: the market. He went through a snowy glade and headed
00:03:20
Speaker 1: left when he heard the sound of a babbling river.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: He carried on until he came to a wooden bridge
00:03:26
Speaker 1: that Snowbell had told him about. He crossed over it
00:03:30
Speaker 1: and carried on walking. Soon he heard the happy sound
00:03:35
Speaker 1: of chatter drifting towards him on a cool breeze. He
00:03:41
Speaker 1: got a whiff of something delicious too. He thought he
00:03:46
Speaker 1: must be getting closer to the market, because if there
00:03:49
Speaker 1: was candy floss for sale, perhaps there was other food too.
00:03:55
Speaker 1: A few minutes later, Littlefort arrived at the market and
00:03:59
Speaker 1: was a mad to see lots of tables lined up
00:04:03
Speaker 1: opposite each other. Each table was overflowing with items for sale.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: Animals of the forest wandered amongst the stalls, looking for
00:04:14
Speaker 1: things to buy. Littlefort noticed a line of food stalls.
00:04:20
Speaker 1: Further along, a little white snow bear was jumping up
00:04:24
Speaker 1: and down and waving at him. It was Snowbell. Littlefot
00:04:29
Speaker 1: ran over to her. They grinned at each other and
00:04:32
Speaker 1: said hello. Without wasting any time. Snow Bell took Littlefort's
00:04:39
Speaker 1: hand in hers and led him through the market. She
00:04:43
Speaker 1: told him about the items on the tables and asked
00:04:46
Speaker 1: if he wanted to buy anything. There was so much
00:04:51
Speaker 1: choice that Littlefoot felt somewhat bewildered by it all. Seeing
00:04:58
Speaker 1: his confused expres Russian, Snowbell said, why don't we have
00:05:04
Speaker 1: some candyfloss first, let's sit down for a while. That
00:05:09
Speaker 1: sounded like an excellent plan to Littlefoot. He said he
00:05:13
Speaker 1: would pay for the candyfloss. He'd already spotted the stool
00:05:18
Speaker 1: where the deliciously sticky treat was being sold, and he
00:05:22
Speaker 1: raced over to it. He bought two portions and then
00:05:27
Speaker 1: ran back to snow Bell, who was sitting on a
00:05:29
Speaker 1: bench near a toy stall. The two friends tucked into
00:05:35
Speaker 1: the candyfloss and enjoyed it very much. The best part
00:05:41
Speaker 1: was when they got to lick the sticky bits off
00:05:43
Speaker 1: their paws. Snowbell made sure her paws were clean before
00:05:49
Speaker 1: reaching into her bag and pulling out a small wooden
00:05:54
Speaker 1: circle for Littlefoot. She gave it to him and said,
00:05:59
Speaker 1: I've bought this for you. It's a yo yo. I've
00:06:03
Speaker 1: got one just like it at home. Littleford had never
00:06:08
Speaker 1: seen a yo yo before and asked his friend what
00:06:11
Speaker 1: he should do with it. Snowbell showed him and he
00:06:15
Speaker 1: soon got the hang of it. He had lots of
00:06:19
Speaker 1: fun making the little wheel go up and down the string.
00:06:24
Speaker 1: He thanked snow Bell, she was such a kind friend.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Snowbell asked if he was ready to look at the
00:06:32
Speaker 1: rest of the market stores. Littlefort said he was and
00:06:37
Speaker 1: asked where they should start. Snowbell pulled a piece of
00:06:43
Speaker 1: paper from her bag and explained it was a shopping
00:06:47
Speaker 1: list from her mum and there were a few items
00:06:50
Speaker 1: she needed to buy, and if Littlefoot didn't mind, could
00:06:55
Speaker 1: they get those first. The little Yetti didn't mind at
00:07:00
Speaker 1: all and walked with Snowbell over to a stall that
00:07:04
Speaker 1: sold something called pasta. Snowbell asked the penguin behind the
00:07:10
Speaker 1: table for a large packet of spaghetti. She looked at Littlefoot, smiled,
00:07:18
Speaker 1: and then asked the penguin for two packets. The penguin
00:07:22
Speaker 1: took two packets from the front of his table and
00:07:25
Speaker 1: handed them to the little Snowbar. Snowbell paid and handed
00:07:30
Speaker 1: one of the packets to her Yetti friend. Before Littlefort
00:07:35
Speaker 1: could ask what spaghetti was, Snowbell moved on to the
00:07:39
Speaker 1: next door to buy something else from her shopping list.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: Littlefoot tried to remember to ask what the spaghetti was,
00:07:48
Speaker 1: but he was having so much fun with his friend
00:07:51
Speaker 1: that he totally forgot. It was only when he got
00:07:55
Speaker 1: home later and put the strange item on the kitchen
00:07:59
Speaker 1: table that he realized he'd forgotten to ask Snowbell what
00:08:03
Speaker 1: spaghetti was and what he was supposed to do with it.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: He asked his family to help, but they had no
00:08:12
Speaker 1: idea either, because they'd never seen spaghetti before. He opened
00:08:18
Speaker 1: the packet and took some of the long, thin sticks out.
00:08:23
Speaker 1: Everyone looked closer at them. His grandfather thought it might
00:08:30
Speaker 1: be a plant, and perhaps they should put it in
00:08:33
Speaker 1: the soil and see if it grew into a spaghetti tree.
00:08:38
Speaker 1: His mother thought it could be food, so they all
00:08:43
Speaker 1: took a piece of spaghetti and nibbled on the end
00:08:46
Speaker 1: of the peculiar thin sticks. Little footpalled face, so did
00:08:52
Speaker 1: everyone else. It was very dry and far too crunchy.
00:08:59
Speaker 1: It most definitely wasn't food. Littlefoot said, perhaps it's a toy.
00:09:09
Speaker 1: He tipped some of the sticks onto the table and
00:09:13
Speaker 1: rolled them back and forth with his paw. If it
00:09:17
Speaker 1: was a toy, it wasn't a very fun one. The
00:09:22
Speaker 1: little Yetti was curious about the strange sounding spaghetti and
00:09:27
Speaker 1: just had to know what it was. The best way
00:09:31
Speaker 1: to find out was to ask Snowbell. He put the
00:09:37
Speaker 1: packet of spaghetti in his backpack, dashed out of the door,
00:09:42
Speaker 1: and ran over to Snowbell's house. When she opened the
00:09:47
Speaker 1: door to him, Snowbell was delighted to see Littlefoot again
00:09:51
Speaker 1: so soon and gave him a big smile. When he
00:09:56
Speaker 1: explained why he was there, Snowbell put her paws over
00:10:00
Speaker 1: her mouth in surprise. She lowered her paws and said, oh, Littlefoot,
00:10:07
Speaker 1: I'm so very sorry. I keep forgetting we live in
00:10:12
Speaker 1: such different places. I should have told you what spaghetti is.
00:10:17
Speaker 1: It's food, and it's very delicious. Little Foot shook his
00:10:22
Speaker 1: head and said it couldn't be food because when he'd
00:10:27
Speaker 1: tried it, it wasn't delicious. He pulled the packet from
00:10:32
Speaker 1: his backpack and gave it back to her. Snowbell said,
00:10:39
Speaker 1: how did you cook it? Littlefoot frowned, cook it? We
00:10:45
Speaker 1: didn't cook it at all? Is that what you're supposed
00:10:49
Speaker 1: to do? Snowbell smiled at her friend and invited him
00:10:53
Speaker 1: into the house. She told him he was in for
00:10:57
Speaker 1: an amazing treat. Littlefort sat at the kitchen table and
00:11:03
Speaker 1: watched closely as his friend boiled a portion of spaghetti
00:11:08
Speaker 1: in a big pan of water. Whilst it was cooking,
00:11:14
Speaker 1: she whipped up a tomato sauce. The meal was soon ready.
00:11:20
Speaker 1: Snow Bell placed a steaming plate of cooked spaghetti in
00:11:25
Speaker 1: front of Littlefoot and topped it with a tangy tomato sauce.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: She told him to tuck in. Littlefort put a small
00:11:35
Speaker 1: amount of spaghetti in his mouth. Time slowed down as
00:11:42
Speaker 1: the scrumptious taste of the spaghetti danced across the yetty's tongue.
00:11:49
Speaker 1: He never tasted anything so utterly, utterly yummy in all
00:11:57
Speaker 1: his life. Without saying a word and without taking his
00:12:03
Speaker 1: attention off his plate, Littlefoot devoured the rest of the meal,
00:12:09
Speaker 1: and when he'd finished, he picked the plate up and
00:12:12
Speaker 1: licked it clean. He put the plate down and rested
00:12:18
Speaker 1: his paws on his full tummy and sighed happily. The
00:12:24
Speaker 1: little Yetti loved spaghetti. He was sure his family would
00:12:30
Speaker 1: love it too, so he asked Snowball to show him
00:12:34
Speaker 1: how to cook it. She made an extra large portion
00:12:38
Speaker 1: and when it was ready, she put the hot food
00:12:41
Speaker 1: in a special container so it would stay warm all
00:12:45
Speaker 1: the way back to Littlefoot's house. Littlefoot thanked Snowbar and
00:12:52
Speaker 1: said he was so happy to have her as a friend.
00:12:56
Speaker 1: Snowbell said she was happy to have him as a
00:12:59
Speaker 1: friend too. They say good bye, and Littlefoot ran through
00:13:05
Speaker 1: the snow as fast as he could back to his
00:13:08
Speaker 1: cave in the mountains. As soon as he got home,
00:13:13
Speaker 1: he called out his family and told them to come
00:13:16
Speaker 1: into the kitchen. He spooned some of the warm spaghetti
00:13:21
Speaker 1: into bowls and put the bowls on the table. It
00:13:26
Speaker 1: smelled so lovely that he put some more in a
00:13:29
Speaker 1: bowl for himself too. The Yetti family fell silent as
00:13:35
Speaker 1: they ate the tasty meal. Everyone loved the spaghetti and
00:13:41
Speaker 1: said they would have it over and over again. Littlefoot
00:13:47
Speaker 1: looked at his empty bowl and frowned. His grandfather knew
00:13:52
Speaker 1: that expression well and asked if something was wrong the
00:13:57
Speaker 1: little YETI said, we didn't know about spaghetti until to day,
00:14:04
Speaker 1: and what if other animals don't know about it either.
00:14:08
Speaker 1: I want every one to know how delicious it is.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: Would it be okay if I took some outside? So
00:14:16
Speaker 1: I can give it to the animals who haven't tasted
00:14:18
Speaker 1: it yet. I don't want any one to miss out
00:14:22
Speaker 1: on such lovely food. His family smiled at the kind
00:14:27
Speaker 1: yetty and said that was a wonderful IDEA littlefoote had
00:14:34
Speaker 1: plenty of spaghetti left in the container snow Bell had
00:14:37
Speaker 1: given him, so he left the family cave and set
00:14:41
Speaker 1: off in the direction of his neighbor's homes. He walked
00:14:46
Speaker 1: through the snow and came to a cozy cave where
00:14:50
Speaker 1: a grizzly bear called Gerald lived. Gerald was sitting at
00:14:54
Speaker 1: a table outside his cave and eating something from a plate.
00:15:00
Speaker 1: Littlefoot said hello and asked the bear if he'd ever
00:15:04
Speaker 1: had spaghetti before. Gerald hadn't, so the little Yetti happily
00:15:10
Speaker 1: gave him a portion from the container. Gerald tasted the
00:15:16
Speaker 1: hot pasta and said it was lovely, but he preferred
00:15:20
Speaker 1: something else. He pointed to his plate and said, bears
00:15:26
Speaker 1: love eating poached pears, especially when they're covered in yummy,
00:15:31
Speaker 1: runny honey. He gave a slice of poached pear to Littlefoot.
00:15:38
Speaker 1: Littlefoot tried it and thought the poach pear was scrumptious,
00:15:43
Speaker 1: but the little Yetti loved spaghetti more He thanked the
00:15:50
Speaker 1: grizzly bear for the piece of poached pear and went
00:15:52
Speaker 1: on his way. The young Yetti continued walking through the
00:15:58
Speaker 1: snow and till he came to a forest where two
00:16:02
Speaker 1: apes lived in a large tree house. Littlefort had met
00:16:07
Speaker 1: them before and knew their names were Angela and Amy.
00:16:13
Speaker 1: He stopped beneath their house and called out a hello
00:16:17
Speaker 1: to see if they were at home. Two friendly faces
00:16:22
Speaker 1: peeped out from the tree house and asked him to
00:16:25
Speaker 1: come up. Little Ford climbed the tree and went inside
00:16:31
Speaker 1: the cozy house. Angela and Amy were sitting next to
00:16:35
Speaker 1: a window with bowls on their laps. The yetty sat
00:16:39
Speaker 1: next to them and told them about his trip to
00:16:42
Speaker 1: the market with his friend and how she'd given him
00:16:45
Speaker 1: some yummy spaghetti. He asked if they had ever tried it.
00:16:51
Speaker 1: Angela said I haven't, but I'd love to try some
00:16:56
Speaker 1: one day. Amy said she would too. Littlefort smiled and
00:17:02
Speaker 1: said they could try some right away. He took some
00:17:06
Speaker 1: spaghetti out of the container and gave it to the apes.
00:17:11
Speaker 1: Angela and Amy ate some and said it was very tasty,
00:17:15
Speaker 1: but they much preferred something else. Amy pointed to the
00:17:19
Speaker 1: bowl on her lap and said, we apes love eating grapes,
00:17:27
Speaker 1: especially when they've been picked fresh from the vine. Would
00:17:30
Speaker 1: you like to try some? Little fitt took a couple
00:17:35
Speaker 1: of grapes and popped them into his mouth. They were
00:17:38
Speaker 1: soft and sweet and lovely to eat. But even though
00:17:42
Speaker 1: littlefoot liked the grapes, he still loved spaghetti more. He
00:17:48
Speaker 1: stayed a little longer with the apes and then went
00:17:51
Speaker 1: on his way. Littlefot hadn't got far when a colorful
00:17:55
Speaker 1: parrot swooped down from the sky and landed on a
00:17:58
Speaker 1: rock in front of him. She said, politely, excuse me
00:18:04
Speaker 1: for stopping you, but I couldn't help overhearing the conversation
00:18:09
Speaker 1: you had with the apes. I tried spaghetti once when
00:18:12
Speaker 1: I flew to Italy. I very much enjoyed it. But
00:18:16
Speaker 1: I must say that as a parrot, I much prefer
00:18:20
Speaker 1: buttered carrot. I don't suppose you'd like to try one,
00:18:24
Speaker 1: would you. I've got a couple of carrots tucked under
00:18:27
Speaker 1: my wing. I never leave home without them. Littlefot said yes,
00:18:34
Speaker 1: he would like to try a buttered carrot, and thanked
00:18:37
Speaker 1: the parrot for her kind offer. The buttered carrot was
00:18:42
Speaker 1: crunchy with just the right mixture of sweet and salty.
00:18:50
Speaker 1: Even though Littlefoot enjoyed it very much, he still loves
00:18:54
Speaker 1: spaghetti more. Little Fert thanked the parrot again and continued
00:18:59
Speaker 1: walking through the forest. Soon he left the snowy scene
00:19:04
Speaker 1: behind and walked across green fields that were surrounded by
00:19:09
Speaker 1: tall trees. Walking had made Littlefoot hungry, so he stopped
00:19:16
Speaker 1: at the side of a river and had a spaghetti snack. Yump,
00:19:21
Speaker 1: A small green frog jumped out of the river and
00:19:25
Speaker 1: sat at his side. The frog politely asked what the
00:19:30
Speaker 1: yettie was eating. Not only did Littlefoot tell him what
00:19:34
Speaker 1: he was eating, he offered the frog some too. The
00:19:38
Speaker 1: frog had a nibble and said it was nice, but
00:19:41
Speaker 1: he knew of something much tastier. He asked the yetty
00:19:46
Speaker 1: if he'd liked to go to his house, because his
00:19:49
Speaker 1: mother was making a very special treat that day. Littlefoth
00:19:54
Speaker 1: said he would love to. He quickly finished the rest
00:19:58
Speaker 1: of the spaghetti snack and then followed the frog away
00:20:02
Speaker 1: from the river. They arrived at a little cottage, and
00:20:06
Speaker 1: an older frog wearing an apron waved to them from
00:20:10
Speaker 1: the open door. She was holding a plate and told
00:20:15
Speaker 1: her son he was just in time. The small frog
00:20:19
Speaker 1: asked if his new friend could stay for the treat too.
00:20:25
Speaker 1: Of course, his mother replied, sit down at the picnic
00:20:30
Speaker 1: table and I'll cut you both a slice. A mouth
00:20:35
Speaker 1: watering aroama drifted from the plate, and Littlefoot wondered what
00:20:40
Speaker 1: was creating the delicious smell. The frog's mother placed a
00:20:46
Speaker 1: plate in front of Littlefoot. When Littleford asked what was
00:20:51
Speaker 1: on the plate, she said, it's a slice of chocolate log.
00:20:59
Speaker 1: Little foot was confused. He'd seen many logs in the forest,
00:21:04
Speaker 1: but never tried eating one before, and he never even
00:21:09
Speaker 1: heard of chocolate. He gave the plate a suspicious look.
00:21:15
Speaker 1: The mother frog smiled kindly and said, we frogs love
00:21:20
Speaker 1: chocolate logs. Why don't you try a little bit and
00:21:24
Speaker 1: see what you think. Little Foot put a small piece
00:21:29
Speaker 1: of chocolate log into his mouth. Oh it was lovely.
00:21:35
Speaker 1: He ate a larger piece. Oh, it was very lovely.
00:21:43
Speaker 1: He ate a bit more and closed his eyes because
00:21:47
Speaker 1: he was so very scrumptious. He soon cleared his plate.
00:21:54
Speaker 1: Littlefort said he would let his family know about the
00:21:57
Speaker 1: amazing chocolate log because he knew they would like it
00:22:00
Speaker 1: as much as he did. With a big smile, the
00:22:05
Speaker 1: little frog said, do you like chocolate log more than spaghetti.
00:22:13
Speaker 1: Littlefoot thought about the question and said, I do like
00:22:18
Speaker 1: the chocolate log, but I love spaghetti more. He thanked
00:22:24
Speaker 1: the frogs and went on his way through the forest.
00:22:28
Speaker 1: He traveled and headed towards a beach he'd been to
00:22:31
Speaker 1: the previous year with his family. Littlefort arrived at the
00:22:36
Speaker 1: beach and stood on the soft, warm sand. He watched
00:22:41
Speaker 1: the sea moving back and forth. He closed his eyes
00:22:46
Speaker 1: and listened to the soothing sound of the waves. In
00:22:52
Speaker 1: the distance, he heard a munching noise. He opened his
00:22:57
Speaker 1: eyes and wondered who was making sound. Looking along the beach,
00:23:04
Speaker 1: he saw a pink crab sitting on a rock eating something.
00:23:10
Speaker 1: Littlefoot walked over to the crab and said hello to her.
00:23:15
Speaker 1: The crab waved a stick in the air and said, hi, there,
00:23:20
Speaker 1: would you like one of these to eat? I've got
00:23:22
Speaker 1: plenty the YETI thanked the crab, but said he was
00:23:27
Speaker 1: too full. He asked the crab why she was eating sticks?
00:23:32
Speaker 1: Was it something crabs did. She giggled and said no,
00:23:38
Speaker 1: the stick was empty because she'd eaten all the food
00:23:42
Speaker 1: that had been on the stick. She reached into a
00:23:45
Speaker 1: bag at her side and pulled out another stick, but
00:23:49
Speaker 1: that one had chunks of fruit on it. She said,
00:23:54
Speaker 1: crabs love eating fruit kebabs. She pointed to the pieces
00:23:59
Speaker 1: of stre srawberries, melons, pears, apples, and cherries and said
00:24:05
Speaker 1: it was delicious and very easy to make. Littlefort said
00:24:12
Speaker 1: it did look delicious and he would remember to make
00:24:15
Speaker 1: the fruit kebabs another time. Fietti asked the crab if
00:24:20
Speaker 1: she'd liked to try the spaghetti. She said yes, and
00:24:24
Speaker 1: once she tasted it, she coicked her claws in delight
00:24:28
Speaker 1: and said it was lovely. But she added, I do
00:24:33
Speaker 1: prefer my fruit kebabs, but thank you for letting me
00:24:37
Speaker 1: try it. I love trying new foods, don't you. You
00:24:41
Speaker 1: never know what you're going to discover. Littlefort said, I've
00:24:46
Speaker 1: been trying lots of new food today, and it's been
00:24:50
Speaker 1: great fun. He told her about the grizzly bear and
00:24:56
Speaker 1: his poached pear, the apes and their fresh he picked grapes,
00:25:01
Speaker 1: the colorful parrot in her buttered carrot, the small green
00:25:06
Speaker 1: frog and his chocolate log. The pink crab said, what
00:25:12
Speaker 1: an adventure you've been on. Are you still on that adventure?
00:25:17
Speaker 1: Littlefort said he was thinking about the new things he tried,
00:25:24
Speaker 1: gave him an idea. He said goodbye to the crab
00:25:28
Speaker 1: and went on his way. He found many other animals
00:25:34
Speaker 1: who loved different kinds of food, some of them he'd
00:25:39
Speaker 1: never heard of before, but he still tried everything. Littlefort
00:25:45
Speaker 1: met a kangaroo who loved vegetable stew, a family of
00:25:50
Speaker 1: pigs who loved juicy figs, a cute butterfly who loved
00:25:56
Speaker 1: apple pie, three mice who loved sticky rice, a mole
00:26:03
Speaker 1: who loved mashed potato casserole, a ladybird who loved lemon curd,
00:26:11
Speaker 1: and some baboons who adored macaroons. The new food he
00:26:17
Speaker 1: tried was tasty, but the little Yetti still loved spaghetti.
00:26:24
Speaker 1: Littlefoote told all the animals he'd met that day about
00:26:28
Speaker 1: his idea. They agreed it was a great one and
00:26:32
Speaker 1: said they would happily take part in his plan. The
00:26:38
Speaker 1: little Yeti rushed home and told his family about his
00:26:42
Speaker 1: big plan too. They agreed to help and quickly got
00:26:48
Speaker 1: to work putting everything in place. They collected as many
00:26:55
Speaker 1: tables as they could from their friends and put them
00:26:58
Speaker 1: on the snowy ground at the bottom of the mountain.
00:27:02
Speaker 1: Strings of twinkling fairy lights were hung throughout the trees,
00:27:08
Speaker 1: and lanterns were placed on the ends of the tables.
00:27:12
Speaker 1: Special picnic blankets were placed over the snowy ground. They
00:27:18
Speaker 1: were magical blankets and would keep their visitors warm all
00:27:22
Speaker 1: night long. Littlefoot ran over to Snowbell's home and asked
00:27:30
Speaker 1: her to come to his home later and to bring
00:27:32
Speaker 1: her family too. Before she could ask why, he raced away.
00:27:40
Speaker 1: All the animals Littlefoot had met earlier arrived with baskets, tubs,
00:27:46
Speaker 1: and arms full of food. They put everything on the
00:27:51
Speaker 1: tables and asked the little Yetti what they should do next.
00:27:57
Speaker 1: Littlefoot said he was waiting for his best friend to
00:28:01
Speaker 1: arrive and then everything could go ahead as planned. At
00:28:06
Speaker 1: that very moment, Snowbell and her family walked along the path.
00:28:12
Speaker 1: Snowbell asked what was going on. Littlefort smiled at his
00:28:17
Speaker 1: lovely friend and said, it's a party. Everyone's bought lots
00:28:24
Speaker 1: of different food to share. I've tried lots of new
00:28:28
Speaker 1: food to day and thought everyone else might want to
00:28:31
Speaker 1: as well. Snowbell said she hadn't brought any food with her.
00:28:39
Speaker 1: Littlefort took her hand in his and explained she didn't
00:28:44
Speaker 1: have to bring food because the party was also a
00:28:48
Speaker 1: thank you party for Snowbell because she was such a
00:28:51
Speaker 1: good friend. He led her over to a table where
00:28:57
Speaker 1: Gerald the Grizzly Bear was standing. The bear asked snow
00:29:02
Speaker 1: Bell if she'd ever tried poached pears before. Snow Bell
00:29:07
Speaker 1: said she hadn't, but that she loved to try some.
00:29:12
Speaker 1: Gerald smiled at her and put some extra yummy, runny
00:29:16
Speaker 1: honey on her poached pears. The party continued into the night.
00:29:24
Speaker 1: New foods were tried and new friendships were made. Littlefote
00:29:30
Speaker 1: continued to try new things too, but even though he
00:29:35
Speaker 1: liked many of them, the little Yetti still loved spaghetti
00:29:41
Speaker 1: more
