Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Coco Sleep, 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. Here's a big high five and happy dance
00:00:25
Speaker 1: going out to our newest Cocoa Club recruits. We're so
00:00:29
Speaker 1: happy to have you join us. Cooper, Wyatt and Evening Hamish,
00:00:34
Speaker 1: Zach Dash and Huxley, Ellie, Alex Kai and Digby. Have
00:00:42
Speaker 1: any of you ever lost something really important like a
00:00:47
Speaker 1: wallet or front door key. I'm not talking about a
00:00:51
Speaker 1: half eaten cookie that you put down when the doorbell rang,
00:00:54
Speaker 1: although that is actually really annoying, but something really really important. Oh,
00:01:01
Speaker 1: it's a nasty shock when that precious thing isn't where
00:01:05
Speaker 1: you expect it to be. And what do people always
00:01:09
Speaker 1: say when they try to give kindly helpful advice, Go
00:01:14
Speaker 1: back to where you last had it. Hmmm, surely if
00:01:19
Speaker 1: you could remember that, it wouldn't be lost. Right in
00:01:22
Speaker 1: tonight's story, we're going to help a very special little
00:01:26
Speaker 1: creature find something immensely special that she's lost, and you
00:01:32
Speaker 1: can decide if it's where she left it. Now, then
00:01:36
Speaker 1: let's all get comfy and ready to meet Koko the
00:01:38
Speaker 1: koalas adorable baby cousin ku Kai. Ku Kai is feeling
00:01:43
Speaker 1: very sleepy and wants to lie down from midday nap. However,
00:01:48
Speaker 1: she needs one important thing before she can lie down
00:01:51
Speaker 1: and rest her precious teddy bear. The only problem is
00:01:57
Speaker 1: kou Kai seems to have misplaced it. So let's join
00:02:01
Speaker 1: her on the hunt for her teddy Settle back into bed,
00:02:06
Speaker 1: and perhaps reach for your favorite soft toy and have
00:02:09
Speaker 1: a lovely big stretch and perhaps a little grateful sigh
00:02:14
Speaker 1: and a squeeze of your blanket or soft toy. This
00:02:19
Speaker 1: is Where's My Teddy? By Alicia Ainslie. We all have
00:02:30
Speaker 1: our own special routines that help us get to sleep
00:02:33
Speaker 1: each night. Some of us like a scrumptious drink before
00:02:37
Speaker 1: bed or a warm bubble bath to help us wind down.
00:02:42
Speaker 1: Some of us like listening to a bedtime story, and
00:02:46
Speaker 1: others simply want to curl up with a blanket that
00:02:49
Speaker 1: smells familiar and soothing. Cuckai just needed one thing. Her
00:02:57
Speaker 1: little teddy bear was a koala. She was a sweet
00:03:02
Speaker 1: little thing with light pink fur and big round ears.
00:03:07
Speaker 1: She had a fuzzy white patch of fur on her
00:03:09
Speaker 1: belly in the shape of a cloud, and each of
00:03:12
Speaker 1: her hands and feet had white palms and soles too.
00:03:17
Speaker 1: Ku Kai lived in sleepy forest, just like her older
00:03:20
Speaker 1: cousin Cocoa. It was a perfect place for a child
00:03:25
Speaker 1: as young and dreamy as ku Kai. Ku Kai lived
00:03:30
Speaker 1: with her mummy and daddy in a cottage surrounded by
00:03:34
Speaker 1: eucalyptus trees. The calming scent of eucalyptus floated on the
00:03:40
Speaker 1: breeze day in and day out, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere.
00:03:47
Speaker 1: Their homey cottage was lilaking color, with two little pointed
00:03:51
Speaker 1: turrets poking out of the roof on either side of
00:03:54
Speaker 1: the building, creating the impression that they lived in a
00:03:58
Speaker 1: tiny castle. It was a dreamy, fairytale cottage with a big,
00:04:04
Speaker 1: long garden that Kukai loved to play in. Her mother
00:04:08
Speaker 1: and father were very proud of their garden, and they
00:04:12
Speaker 1: spent the weekends tending to the beautiful flowers and plants
00:04:15
Speaker 1: that grew in it. Kukai liked to help her parents
00:04:19
Speaker 1: dig up the weeds and sew new seeds. There was
00:04:23
Speaker 1: a BlackBerry bush at the bottom of the garden that
00:04:26
Speaker 1: ku Kai had helped a plant, and it was already
00:04:29
Speaker 1: starting to bloom. With luscious juicy berries. They were delicious.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: Kukai loved to play games of mate believe, and she
00:04:41
Speaker 1: made use of every room in the house to do so.
00:04:44
Speaker 1: She often pretended to be a famous chef in a
00:04:47
Speaker 1: kitchen and envisioned that she was filming her own cooking
00:04:51
Speaker 1: TV show. She imagined she was swimming in the ocean
00:04:55
Speaker 1: in her mummy's study, which had a big glass aquarium
00:04:59
Speaker 1: wall stretching along the side of it. She would pretend
00:05:04
Speaker 1: to swim next to the fish in the aquarium and
00:05:07
Speaker 1: imagine what kind of conversations she would have with them.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: Kou Kai would dream up adventures in the living room
00:05:16
Speaker 1: and hop from sofa to sofa, using them as stepping
00:05:20
Speaker 1: stones across imaginary rivers. Then she would visualize swashbuckling pirates
00:05:28
Speaker 1: all around and pretend to battle with them for gold.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: Kou Kai's imagination had no bounds, and she loved her
00:05:37
Speaker 1: games of make believe. However, concocting such thrilling fantasies could
00:05:44
Speaker 1: get quite tiring after a while, and kou Kai often
00:05:48
Speaker 1: needed a nap in the middle of the day to
00:05:50
Speaker 1: regather her energy. So she would grab her trusty Teddy
00:05:55
Speaker 1: Bear and snuggle up in bed for an hour or
00:05:58
Speaker 1: two to raise enough an to play through the afternoon.
00:06:03
Speaker 1: It was a full proof plan except for one thing.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Kou Kai couldn't sleep without her teddy, so if she
00:06:13
Speaker 1: misplaced it, it could cause quite a conundrum. One day,
00:06:19
Speaker 1: after a long morning of playing around the house, kou
00:06:23
Speaker 1: Kai was ready for her usual daily nap. She yawned
00:06:27
Speaker 1: and stretched her little, pink, fuzzy arms above her head.
00:06:32
Speaker 1: Then she sighed as she looked around the room. The
00:06:37
Speaker 1: dinosaurs she had just befriended in her imagination faded away
00:06:42
Speaker 1: and all that was left was her normal bedroom. It's
00:06:48
Speaker 1: time for a little sleep, ku Kai said to herself
00:06:53
Speaker 1: as she climbed onto her bed to get comfortable. She
00:06:57
Speaker 1: pulled up the covers and nestled her head down into
00:07:00
Speaker 1: the pillow, then reached out for her teddy bear expectantly.
00:07:07
Speaker 1: Her little hand patted the mattress next to her and
00:07:11
Speaker 1: scrambled around to feel for her teddy's fluffy paw, but
00:07:15
Speaker 1: she came up short. Kucki sat back up in bed
00:07:19
Speaker 1: and checked that her teddy hadn't slipped under the covers,
00:07:23
Speaker 1: but she couldn't see it there. She peered under her pillow,
00:07:28
Speaker 1: but it hadn't disappeared under there either. Next, she hopped
00:07:33
Speaker 1: off the bed and checked that her teddy hadn't fallen
00:07:36
Speaker 1: over the side and rolled under the bed frame, but
00:07:40
Speaker 1: she couldn't spot it. She squinted her eyes and peered
00:07:45
Speaker 1: into the dimmed light beneath her bed. She couldn't spot
00:07:50
Speaker 1: her teddy, but her eyes lit up as she spied
00:07:55
Speaker 1: something she hadn't seen in a while. She reached out
00:07:59
Speaker 1: her hand and grabbed it, pulling it towards her. It
00:08:04
Speaker 1: was her old baby blanket. Ku Kai hadn't used this
00:08:11
Speaker 1: in a long time, but as she held it up
00:08:14
Speaker 1: to her face and inhaled its familiar scent, she was
00:08:19
Speaker 1: reminded why she loved this blanket so much. When she
00:08:24
Speaker 1: was a baby, ku Kai's parents would tuck her up
00:08:27
Speaker 1: in the crib underneath this faded yellow blanket, with her
00:08:30
Speaker 1: teddy bear by her side. She used to have the longest,
00:08:36
Speaker 1: most peaceful nights of sleep. Then, the blanket brought back
00:08:43
Speaker 1: many tranquil memories. As she sniffed it and she sighed
00:08:47
Speaker 1: with happiness. Ku Kai wondered if she might be able
00:08:52
Speaker 1: to take a nap with the comfort of her old
00:08:55
Speaker 1: blanket by her side, but as she lay down in
00:08:59
Speaker 1: bed to try it felt wrong. She missed her teddy.
00:09:07
Speaker 1: Cukai stood up and gazed around her bedroom in case
00:09:11
Speaker 1: she had laid it down somewhere else, but she couldn't
00:09:14
Speaker 1: spot it. She rifled through the stuffed toys lined up
00:09:20
Speaker 1: on her dressing table in case her teddy was among them,
00:09:23
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. She opened up her wardrobe doors and
00:09:29
Speaker 1: checked again across the floor, but there was no sign
00:09:33
Speaker 1: of teddy. Kukai was baffled. I've found my old blanket,
00:09:42
Speaker 1: but where's my teddy? She muttered with confusion. She could
00:09:49
Speaker 1: have sworn she left her teddy in her room like
00:09:52
Speaker 1: she normally did, but perhaps she had been so caught
00:09:57
Speaker 1: up in one of her games of mate believe that
00:10:00
Speaker 1: she hadn't realized she had carried her teddy out with her.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: It must be lying somewhere around the house. She decided
00:10:09
Speaker 1: to ask her mummy for help. Her mother was always
00:10:13
Speaker 1: good at finding things kou Kai had lost. She knew
00:10:17
Speaker 1: where everything was in the house. Ku Kai headed downstairs
00:10:23
Speaker 1: to search for her mummy. She found her working away
00:10:26
Speaker 1: in her study. Ku Kai's mother liked to write stories
00:10:31
Speaker 1: and she often wrote ones especially for ku Kai's bedtime.
00:10:36
Speaker 1: It was one of ku Kai's favorite parts of the day.
00:10:40
Speaker 1: Hearing her mother's soothing voice while she snuggled up with
00:10:44
Speaker 1: her teddy was the best feeling in the world. Her
00:10:49
Speaker 1: mother was writing away in a journal, deep in thought,
00:10:53
Speaker 1: and ku Kai didn't want to interrupt her, so while
00:10:58
Speaker 1: she waited, ku Kai watch the fish in the aquarium,
00:11:02
Speaker 1: swimming along without a care in the world. Their multi
00:11:07
Speaker 1: colored scales reflected the light from the office window so
00:11:11
Speaker 1: that they shimmered as they swam. The fish blew bubbles
00:11:17
Speaker 1: as they gaped open their mouths and closed them again,
00:11:21
Speaker 1: and ku Kai giggled. Ku Kai wondered if that was
00:11:26
Speaker 1: the way that fish spoke to one another. Maybe the
00:11:31
Speaker 1: koalas just couldn't hear their voices since they were underwater.
00:11:37
Speaker 1: After a few minutes, ku Kai's mother turned around in
00:11:40
Speaker 1: her chair and greeted her with a smile. Mummy, Kukai asked,
00:11:48
Speaker 1: where's my teddy? Her mother responded, I don't know, darling.
00:11:57
Speaker 1: Have you checked under your bed. Ku Kai said that
00:12:01
Speaker 1: she had, so. Her mother asked if she had moved
00:12:04
Speaker 1: her teddy or taken it somewhere with her. Ko Kaie
00:12:09
Speaker 1: couldn't recall moving her teddy from her bedroom. She had
00:12:13
Speaker 1: no idea where it could be. Ku Kaie's mummy wiggled
00:12:19
Speaker 1: her fairy purple Koala ears as she thought she hadn't
00:12:24
Speaker 1: noticed the teddy anywhere while she had been walking around
00:12:27
Speaker 1: the house. Perhaps the teddy had been packed away somewhere,
00:12:32
Speaker 1: she suggested, Maybe it was in a cupboard. Ko Kaie yawned.
00:12:39
Speaker 1: She really wanted her nap, but she couldn't sleep without
00:12:43
Speaker 1: her beloved teddy, so she set out on a teddy
00:12:45
Speaker 1: bear hunt around the house. Maybe her mother was right,
00:12:51
Speaker 1: maybe her teddy had been accidentally packed away in a cupboard.
00:12:57
Speaker 1: She began by searching in the downstairs cub her daddy
00:13:01
Speaker 1: might have packed away her teddy whilst tidying the house yesterday.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: Kukai opened the cupboard door and was met by shelves
00:13:10
Speaker 1: and shelves of neatly packed boxes. Each box was labeled
00:13:15
Speaker 1: with names like bits and bobs, old clothes, and garden stuff.
00:13:23
Speaker 1: This was clearly where her daddy stored everything that they
00:13:26
Speaker 1: didn't use very often. Maybe he had accidentally put her
00:13:31
Speaker 1: teddy in there too. Ku Kai started to pour the
00:13:36
Speaker 1: boxes down from the shelves one by one and rummaged
00:13:40
Speaker 1: through them. In the box of bits and bobs, she
00:13:44
Speaker 1: found an old piggybank that she used to have in
00:13:47
Speaker 1: her bedroom and a puzzle game that she had long
00:13:50
Speaker 1: forgotten about. In the old clothed box, she discovered her
00:13:56
Speaker 1: old pair of bright orange Wellington boots that no longer
00:14:01
Speaker 1: and a wooly hat that she had worn two winters ago.
00:14:06
Speaker 1: She tried the hat on and it still fits snugly
00:14:08
Speaker 1: over her ears, so she hung onto it to wear
00:14:12
Speaker 1: on chillier days. Ku Kai peeked inside the box of
00:14:17
Speaker 1: garden stuff but didn't find anything except for some packs
00:14:21
Speaker 1: of seeds she wanted to plant next spring, and she
00:14:24
Speaker 1: poured down the box of old photos just in case
00:14:29
Speaker 1: her teddy had accidentally fallen in there. However, she couldn't
00:14:33
Speaker 1: find her teddy in any of the boxes. Ku Kai
00:14:38
Speaker 1: held onto the items she had discovered during her search
00:14:42
Speaker 1: and inspected them. She lamented, ugh, I've found my old piggybank,
00:14:50
Speaker 1: my puzzle, and my wooly winter hat, but where's my teddy?
00:14:58
Speaker 1: Ku Kai wasn't ready to give up just yet. There
00:15:03
Speaker 1: were lots of rooms in her family's cottage, and her
00:15:06
Speaker 1: cherished teddy bear could be in any of them. Kou
00:15:11
Speaker 1: Kai assumed she must have misplaced her teddy and left
00:15:15
Speaker 1: it lying around while she was playing Mate Believe, so
00:15:19
Speaker 1: she attempted to retrace her steps from the morning. She
00:15:24
Speaker 1: went into the kitchen to see if she had any
00:15:27
Speaker 1: luck in there. She searched in all of the cupboards,
00:15:32
Speaker 1: She checked the kitchen sink. She even looked in the refrigerator,
00:15:39
Speaker 1: but still there was no sign of her teddy, So
00:15:44
Speaker 1: she moved onto the living room, where she often liked
00:15:47
Speaker 1: to play. She pulled all the cushions off the sofa
00:15:52
Speaker 1: to see if her teddy had fallen behind them. She
00:15:55
Speaker 1: flicked through the books on the bookshelves in case she
00:15:58
Speaker 1: had wedged it between them, and she peered under the
00:16:02
Speaker 1: coffee table in case her teddy had tumbled underneath, but
00:16:07
Speaker 1: there was no sign of it. Anywhere. Where's my teddy?
00:16:14
Speaker 1: Ku Kai asked with exasperation. She was starting to wonder
00:16:20
Speaker 1: if she would ever find her teddy. Where on earth
00:16:25
Speaker 1: could it be. She scratched her furry head and racked
00:16:29
Speaker 1: her brain for other places she could look. There was
00:16:33
Speaker 1: another place in the house where her parents liked to
00:16:36
Speaker 1: store things away her place, much bigger than the downstairs cupboard.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: It was a long shot, but ku Kai decided to
00:16:46
Speaker 1: give it a try. Ku Kai climbed the stairs of
00:16:50
Speaker 1: the cottage all the way to the top of the
00:16:53
Speaker 1: tallest castle like turret of their home. When she reached
00:16:58
Speaker 1: the top, sheroch coached a big wooden door with a
00:17:02
Speaker 1: big brass handle. It was the door to the attic.
00:17:08
Speaker 1: Ku Kai's parents kept a lot of things in the attic.
00:17:13
Speaker 1: Ku Kai turned the handle, opened the creaky door, and
00:17:18
Speaker 1: stepped inside. As ku Kai walked around a little attic room,
00:17:26
Speaker 1: she wondered why her parents never used it. The attic
00:17:30
Speaker 1: was charming, with small round windows and wooden floors. It
00:17:36
Speaker 1: would make a great bedroom. As ku Kai walked around,
00:17:43
Speaker 1: she grew to love it more and more. Later on,
00:17:48
Speaker 1: she thought she might ask her parents if she could
00:17:51
Speaker 1: move her things into the attic and turn it into
00:17:54
Speaker 1: her own bedroom. It was tiny, but so was she.
00:18:01
Speaker 1: Ku Kai could picture it now. A slick of pink
00:18:06
Speaker 1: paint on the walls, some flowers on the window sill,
00:18:11
Speaker 1: and a fluffy rug on the floor would make the
00:18:14
Speaker 1: attic extra cozy. She could hang up the paintings she
00:18:19
Speaker 1: liked to make on the circular walls and line up
00:18:22
Speaker 1: all of her cuddly toys on the bench by the
00:18:25
Speaker 1: window that overlooked the treetops of Sleepy Forest. It was
00:18:31
Speaker 1: a nice idea, but none of it mattered if ku
00:18:34
Speaker 1: Kai couldn't find her teddy. She needed it to fall asleep,
00:18:39
Speaker 1: and what use was a good bedroom if you couldn't
00:18:42
Speaker 1: fall asleep in it? Ku Kai searched through the attic
00:18:48
Speaker 1: for signs of her treasured stuffed bear. She lifted up
00:18:53
Speaker 1: dusty sheets from furniture and searched through the squeaky drawers
00:18:58
Speaker 1: in the old cabinets in the corner of the room.
00:19:02
Speaker 1: She bent down and checked underneath the window bench, and
00:19:06
Speaker 1: even peered inside the bird's nest perched on the window
00:19:10
Speaker 1: sill in case it had ended up in there. Ku
00:19:14
Speaker 1: Kai had to admit defeat. Her teddy wasn't there. Ku
00:19:22
Speaker 1: Kai huffed with disappointment and muttered, I found my perfect bedroom,
00:19:29
Speaker 1: but where's my teddy? It seemed that ku Kai was
00:19:36
Speaker 1: finding all sorts of interesting things that she had forgotten
00:19:39
Speaker 1: about on her journey around the house, But the one
00:19:43
Speaker 1: thing that she wanted to find more than anything, She
00:19:47
Speaker 1: just couldn't. Ku Kai sat down on the bench by
00:19:53
Speaker 1: the attic window and sighed, where had her teddy bear
00:19:58
Speaker 1: got to? A small silver bird floated down to the
00:20:04
Speaker 1: window sill and landed in the nest. It looked up
00:20:09
Speaker 1: at ku Kai through the window with an intrigued expression
00:20:13
Speaker 1: and said, good afternoon, little Koala. Why do you look
00:20:20
Speaker 1: so sad? Ku Kai explained to the silver bird how
00:20:26
Speaker 1: she had lost her teddy bear. She had searched all
00:20:31
Speaker 1: over the house but hadn't found it anywhere. She didn't
00:20:36
Speaker 1: understand how her teddy could go missing when she spent
00:20:40
Speaker 1: so much time with it. The silver bird felt sorry
00:20:45
Speaker 1: for ku Kai. It could see how deflated she was
00:20:50
Speaker 1: and spotted her rubbing her tired eyes hopelessly. Why don't
00:20:58
Speaker 1: you get outside for a bit, the silver bird suggested,
00:21:04
Speaker 1: I always feel better when I fly around in the
00:21:07
Speaker 1: fresh air. The fresh air might do you some good too.
00:21:13
Speaker 1: Kukai smiled softly and agreed that it was a good idea.
00:21:19
Speaker 1: She often felt better when she ventured outside. Kukai was
00:21:24
Speaker 1: starting to think that perhaps her teddy bear was lost
00:21:29
Speaker 1: for good. Where's my teddy she sighed as she made
00:21:36
Speaker 1: her way out into the garden. Whenever ku Kai was
00:21:42
Speaker 1: feeling a bit out of sorts, she went out to
00:21:46
Speaker 1: sit or play in the garden. Being beneath the warm sun,
00:21:52
Speaker 1: smelling the refreshing leaves of the eucalyptus trees, and feeling
00:21:57
Speaker 1: the cool breeze ruffle through her pink fur always made
00:22:02
Speaker 1: her feel a little better. She wandered down the garden
00:22:08
Speaker 1: path towards the long stretch of bright green grass, thinking
00:22:15
Speaker 1: about her poor lost Teddy when her ears pricked as
00:22:23
Speaker 1: they noticed an unusual sound ahead of her. Sitting right
00:22:30
Speaker 1: by the BlackBerry bush she had planted at the bottom
00:22:33
Speaker 1: of the grassy garden was a little bear, not a
00:22:38
Speaker 1: teddy bear, a real bear. The bear had its back
00:22:43
Speaker 1: to her, but she could see that it was sitting
00:22:48
Speaker 1: on a red checkered picnic mat talking to someone. Kokie
00:22:54
Speaker 1: wondered what this little bear was doing in their family garden,
00:22:58
Speaker 1: so she wandered closer to find doubt. As kou Kai
00:23:03
Speaker 1: approached the mysterious bear, she noticed that the bear had fluffy,
00:23:08
Speaker 1: golden fur, just like her missing teddy. Oh, how she
00:23:14
Speaker 1: missed her teddy Bear. As she got closer, she realized
00:23:20
Speaker 1: that there was nobody else there The bear was talking
00:23:24
Speaker 1: to itself. How peculiar. Eventually, Koukai reached the small bear
00:23:33
Speaker 1: and tapped it on the shoulder to grab their attention.
00:23:37
Speaker 1: To her amazement, the bear turned around and gazed at
00:23:42
Speaker 1: her with the same shiny black eyes she had known
00:23:48
Speaker 1: all her life. She recognized its snub, velvety nose and
00:23:54
Speaker 1: kind smile. It was her Teddy Bear. There you are, Teddy,
00:24:02
Speaker 1: cried Coukai with relief. She gave her Teddy a big hug.
00:24:08
Speaker 1: She was so pleased to find it, but she had
00:24:11
Speaker 1: a big question. How was her Teddy bear moving and talking?
00:24:20
Speaker 1: As ku Kai took a closer look at her beloved Teddy,
00:24:24
Speaker 1: she was amazed by its new animated features and soothing
00:24:30
Speaker 1: voice as it said hello, Kukai. Her Teddy wasn't a
00:24:37
Speaker 1: normal stuffed bear anymore. It was a living, walking, talking creature.
00:24:46
Speaker 1: It was surely magic. Kukai wanted to ask her Teddy
00:24:52
Speaker 1: how it had come to be here at the bottom
00:24:55
Speaker 1: of the garden, But before she could ask her, Teddy said, cheerfully,
00:25:02
Speaker 1: I'm having a tea party, ku Kai, would you like
00:25:06
Speaker 1: to join me. Ku Kai glanced over her Teddy's shoulder
00:25:12
Speaker 1: to see the teacups, but she couldn't see anything there.
00:25:17
Speaker 1: Then her teddy sat down on the picnic mat and
00:25:21
Speaker 1: began pouring into an imaginary cup from an imaginary teapot,
00:25:27
Speaker 1: before holding the cup out to her her teddy, who
00:25:33
Speaker 1: was playing make believe just like she liked to do.
00:25:39
Speaker 1: Ku Kai smiled and took the imaginary teacup from her
00:25:42
Speaker 1: Teddy's hand. Thank you, I would love to join you,
00:25:49
Speaker 1: she said, before taking a fanciful slurp from the invisible teacup.
00:25:56
Speaker 1: Ku Kai sat down on the picnic mat with her
00:26:00
Speaker 1: and they pretended to have a tea party. They ate
00:26:05
Speaker 1: imaginary jam sandwiches and delicious lemon cake, drank copious amounts
00:26:11
Speaker 1: of invisible tea, and chatted about the weather, baking tips,
00:26:17
Speaker 1: and the jolly holidays they would like to go on.
00:26:21
Speaker 1: Coukai and her teddy had a delightful time at their
00:26:25
Speaker 1: imaginary tea party, so much so that ku Kai almost
00:26:30
Speaker 1: forgot about her nap. Almost After a while, Kukai felt
00:26:38
Speaker 1: her eyelids growing drowsy and she couldn't stop yawning. She
00:26:44
Speaker 1: tried to keep her eyes on her teddy, but her
00:26:48
Speaker 1: eyes gradually drooped lower and lower until she could barely
00:26:54
Speaker 1: keep them open any longer. Her teddy tilted their head
00:27:01
Speaker 1: at her and commented, you look tired, ku Kai. Is
00:27:08
Speaker 1: it time for your nap? Ku Kai nodded her sleepy
00:27:14
Speaker 1: head slowly. Her teddy smiled and told her to lie down. Then,
00:27:22
Speaker 1: when ku Kai was comfortably curled up on her side,
00:27:26
Speaker 1: her teddy lifted the picnic mat and placed it over
00:27:31
Speaker 1: ku Kai's body like a blanket. Ku Kai felt so
00:27:37
Speaker 1: cozy and warm and allowed her eyes to fully close.
00:27:44
Speaker 1: Her teddy affectionately stroked her head as she dozed, and
00:27:50
Speaker 1: cou Kai sighed with relief. The cool afternoon breeze blew
00:27:58
Speaker 1: across her furry pink cheeks, and Cuckai took a deep
00:28:04
Speaker 1: breath in of the fresh eucalyptus scent around her. As
00:28:11
Speaker 1: her teddy stroked her head, she felt herself relaxing and
00:28:18
Speaker 1: drifting off to a sweet, sweet slumber. Couckai had found
00:28:28
Speaker 1: her teddy, and now she could happily take her much
00:28:34
Speaker 1: needed nap. Passsssssssssssssssss
