7
00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:31.760
When Hector the Golden Retriever was a little puppy with
8
00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:36.509
soft floppy ears and a fluffy tail that wagged whenever
9
00:00:36.549 --> 00:00:41.189
he was excited, which was nearly all the time, he
10
00:00:41.289 --> 00:00:46.450
had one of the most special Easters ever. And it
11
00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:53.000
was all thanks to some little fuzzy yellow chicks. He
12
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.759
lived in the same cosy little house with his owner,
13
00:00:57.270 --> 00:01:00.869
who took care of him with lots of love, belly
14
00:01:00.929 --> 00:01:06.849
rubs and tasty treats. One morning, as Hector stretched his
15
00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:12.000
paws and yawned, he saw his owner carrying a big,
16
00:01:12.260 --> 00:01:18.200
strange-looking machine into the kitchen. It had buttons, a clear
17
00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:25.280
lid and a warm yellow glow coming from inside. Hector
18
00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:31.530
tilted his head his tail wagging with curiosity. What's that?
19
00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:37.150
he barked. All his owner heard was woofs as he
20
00:01:37.209 --> 00:01:42.170
didn't speak dog. It always seemed like he knew what
21
00:01:42.209 --> 00:01:47.030
Hector was saying though. He chuckled and set the machine
22
00:01:47.109 --> 00:01:53.049
on the counter. This is an incubator, Hector. It is
23
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:57.560
a warm box meant for eggs to hatch in. Some
24
00:01:57.590 --> 00:02:01.840
baby chicks are going to hatch from here soon. Farmer
25
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.040
Tom had so many this year that we're helping look
26
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.939
after a few of his eggs. Hector's ears perked up. Chicks?
27
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:20.250
Like baby chickens? That sounded like so much fun. He
28
00:02:20.289 --> 00:02:25.650
watched as his owner carefully placed six smooth eggs inside
29
00:02:25.689 --> 00:02:32.740
the incubator. adjusting them gently before closing the lid. All
30
00:02:32.780 --> 00:02:36.080
we have to do is keep them warm and safe
31
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:41.639
while they grow, his owner said. Hector stood on his
32
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.770
hind legs, placing his paws on the counter to get
33
00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:51.729
a closer look. The eggs didn't move, but something about
34
00:02:51.849 --> 00:02:58.680
them seemed very special. His puppy heart swelled with excitement.
35
00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:04.840
He decided right then and there that he would watch
36
00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:10.900
over the eggs just like a big brother. Every day
37
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.800
Hector checked on the eggs. He would sit by the incubator,
38
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.659
his warm brown eyes watching for any sign of movement.
39
00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:28.789
Sometimes he would gently sniff at the glass lid curious
40
00:03:28.949 --> 00:03:34.550
about what was happening inside other times he would lie
41
00:03:34.610 --> 00:03:39.379
down beside the counter resting his head on his paws
42
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:45.039
and keeping watch his owner told him it would take
43
00:03:45.099 --> 00:03:49.000
a little while before the eggs hatched so Hector had
44
00:03:49.099 --> 00:03:53.629
to be patient that was hard for a puppy who
45
00:03:53.689 --> 00:03:58.069
loved to chase his tail play in the garden and
46
00:03:58.129 --> 00:04:03.669
run in circles when he was excited. But for these eggs,
47
00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:08.250
he was willing to wait and not sit there barking
48
00:04:08.330 --> 00:04:13.629
in excitement for days on end. To make the time
49
00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:19.089
pass faster, his owner showed Hector how the incubator worked.
50
00:04:20.310 --> 00:04:24.759
He explained how the eggs needed warmth and how they
51
00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:28.759
needed to be turned slightly every day to help the
52
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:35.279
chicks grow inside. He even let Hector watch as he
53
00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:39.480
carefully misted the eggs with water to keep the shells
54
00:04:39.540 --> 00:04:46.439
from getting too dry. One afternoon, Hector's owner sat down
55
00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:51.339
next to Hector and held up a flashlight. Want to
56
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:57.759
see something special? He asked. Hector tilted his head and
57
00:04:57.819 --> 00:05:03.290
wagged his tail. Yes, he said with his big shiny eyes.
58
00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:09.709
His owner turned off the lights and gently lifted one
59
00:05:09.730 --> 00:05:14.750
of the eggs from the incubator. He shone the flashlight
60
00:05:14.889 --> 00:05:21.160
underneath it and suddenly Hector could see a tiny shadow
61
00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:28.899
moving inside. His tail thumped against the floor. It's there.
62
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:36.310
There's a chicken there. His owner nodded. That's right. They're
63
00:05:36.389 --> 00:05:43.670
growing bigger every day, he said. Hector felt even more
64
00:05:43.769 --> 00:05:49.920
excited now. He wasn't just watching over eggs. He was
65
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.230
watching over new little lives. waiting to hatch into the world.
66
00:05:58.110 --> 00:06:02.930
Then one evening, just as the sun was setting and
67
00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:12.449
filling the kitchen with golden light, Hector heard it. Tap, tap, tap.
68
00:06:14.470 --> 00:06:18.620
His ears shot up. He leapt to his paws and
69
00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:24.379
let out an excited squeal. The eggs were about to hatch.
70
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.660
Hector's owner rushed over with a big smile. Sure enough,
71
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:39.490
tiny cracks were forming in the eggs. Little beaks poked through,
72
00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:46.430
tapping their way into the world. Hector watched in awe
73
00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:55.110
as one by one, six eggs, fluffy chicks wobbled out
74
00:06:55.170 --> 00:07:00.069
of their shells. It took a while. Some of the
75
00:07:00.129 --> 00:07:06.040
chicks needed extra time to push their way free. Hector
76
00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:13.160
watched patiently, his heart full of excitement as each little
77
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:20.269
chick finally emerged, except for one. There was one egg
78
00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:30.079
left still incubating. Hector patted it affectionately. Not everyone moved
79
00:07:30.189 --> 00:07:34.949
at the same pace he knew. Some of the chicks
80
00:07:35.029 --> 00:07:40.569
were yellow, some had speckles, and all of them were
81
00:07:40.689 --> 00:07:48.709
tiny and perfect. The chicks were soft as cloud. with
82
00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:53.629
tiny wings that flapped when they tried to walk. They
83
00:07:53.709 --> 00:07:59.529
peeped and cheeped, their little voices filling the kitchen with
84
00:07:59.569 --> 00:08:06.550
the happiest sounds Hector had ever heard. His owner gently
85
00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:12.189
lifted each chick into a warm enclosure lined with straw
86
00:08:12.329 --> 00:08:17.170
and a small heat lamp. They need to stay cosy.
87
00:08:17.689 --> 00:08:24.410
until they're big enough to explore, he explained. Hector wagged
88
00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:31.410
his tail and leaned in close. Hello, little chicks, he whispered.
89
00:08:32.409 --> 00:08:40.440
I'm Hector. I've been waiting for you. The chicks wobbled
90
00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:46.879
toward him, blinking their tiny eyes. They couldn't talk like
91
00:08:46.940 --> 00:08:54.289
he could but their cheats sounded cheerful and friendly. Hector's
92
00:08:54.450 --> 00:09:02.419
owner had given them all names. Peanut, Pip, Daisy, Nibbles,
93
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.620
Sophie and Bumble. The one still in its shell hadn't
94
00:09:09.830 --> 00:09:15.330
been named yet. Hector thought that was right. He needed
95
00:09:15.389 --> 00:09:18.289
to meet someone to be sure to give them the
96
00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:25.409
perfect name. Each of the chicks had its own little personality.
97
00:09:26.669 --> 00:09:33.919
Peanut was the bravest, always stepping forward first. Pip was
98
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.559
the tiniest, chirping extra loudly to make up for it.
99
00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:45.870
Daisy loved to snuggle into the straw. while Nibbles was
100
00:09:46.169 --> 00:09:49.470
always pecking at things to see if they were food.
101
00:09:51.190 --> 00:09:55.649
Sophie had bright yellow feathers that made her look like
102
00:09:55.710 --> 00:10:01.059
a little ray of sunshine, and Bumble was... round and
103
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:08.110
fluffy like a little bumblebee. Hector visited them every day.
104
00:10:09.269 --> 00:10:14.070
He would lie beside their enclosure watching them wobble, hop
105
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:21.669
and flap their tiny wings. Sometimes When his owner lifted
106
00:10:21.750 --> 00:10:27.309
them gently, Hector would nuzzle them with his nose, feeling
107
00:10:27.370 --> 00:10:36.139
their soft downy feathers. While the six chicks chirped and played,
108
00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:42.240
the last egg sat in the incubator, still and quiet.
109
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:50.929
Hector looked at it curiously, tilting his head. When will
110
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:55.799
this one be ready? he asked, nudging the incubator with
111
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:02.039
his nose. The chicks were no help, they just cheeped
112
00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:08.090
and chirped. Hector had a feeling it would hatch very soon,
113
00:11:08.929 --> 00:11:15.590
like it was waiting for its moment. On Easter Sunday,
114
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:23.389
bright and early in the morning, something magical happened. Just
115
00:11:23.509 --> 00:11:33.340
as the sun rose, the last egg wobbled, then it cracked, then... Cheep!
116
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:40.870
Out popped the tiniest chick of all, soft and fluffy
117
00:11:41.070 --> 00:11:47.789
and as golden as the morning sun. Hector barked excitedly.
118
00:11:48.649 --> 00:11:55.389
It's our Easter chick, he smiled. We'll call her Esther,
119
00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:03.259
like Easter. Hector's owner carefully lifted the little chick and
120
00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:09.279
placed her with the others. The six chirped happily, welcoming
121
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:15.960
their new sibling. Easter was a special day in Hector's house.
122
00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:23.070
His owner had planned a painted egg hunt, hiding shiny, colourful,
123
00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:29.809
doggy-safe eggs all over the garden. Hector loved sniffing them out,
124
00:12:30.610 --> 00:12:36.070
his nose twitching as he searched behind flowerpots and under bushes.
125
00:12:38.049 --> 00:12:41.690
Whenever he found one, his owner gave him a little
126
00:12:41.789 --> 00:12:46.179
treat of his own. but the best part was when
127
00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:49.509
the chicks got to go outside for the first time.
128
00:12:50.870 --> 00:12:56.690
The little flock of seven, now including Esther, pecked around
129
00:12:56.730 --> 00:13:02.500
the grass, exploring the big world beyond their cosy enclosure.
130
00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:09.279
Hector played in the yard with the chicks all afternoon,
131
00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:14.940
running in circles around them as they pecked curiously at
132
00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:20.179
the grass. He made sure they didn't wander too far
133
00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:26.789
and stayed close to keep them safe. As the day ended,
134
00:13:27.389 --> 00:13:31.549
he curled up beside his owner in the warm sunshine,
135
00:13:32.570 --> 00:13:39.149
watching the little chicks nestle together in the straw. It
136
00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:45.429
had been a perfect Easter so far. one filled with surprises,
137
00:13:46.169 --> 00:13:51.259
fun and the joy of new life. And as his
138
00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:58.159
owner scratched behind his ears, Hector closed his eyes, knowing
139
00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:02.769
that he had been the best big brother these little
140
00:14:02.870 --> 00:14:10.870
chicks could have. A little while later, Hector's best puppy pal, Sunny,
141
00:14:11.070 --> 00:14:15.809
arrived with her owner. She bounded through the garden gate,
142
00:14:16.389 --> 00:14:22.470
her tail wagging so fast it was a golden blur. Hector,
143
00:14:23.190 --> 00:14:28.789
I'm here, she barked excitedly, racing up to her friend
144
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:35.580
and jumping in circles around him. Hector gave a happy
145
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:41.600
woof and wagged his tail Sunny, I have a surprise
146
00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:49.019
for you, he said solemnly. Come inside. Hector led the
147
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:55.240
other puppy into the house and over to the chick enclosure. Inside,
148
00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:59.899
the seven little chicks were pecking at the straw and
149
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.389
flapping their tiny wings. Sunny stopped, her big brown eyes widening.
150
00:15:10.730 --> 00:15:18.240
What are those? she asked, tilting her head. They're my
151
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:26.379
baby chicks, Hector said proudly. My owner and I helped
152
00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:34.070
them hatch from eggs. Sunny's nose twitched as she leaned
153
00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:40.870
closer to the enclosure. The chicks chirped. and wobbled toward her,
154
00:15:41.909 --> 00:15:49.129
their tiny heads bobbing curiously. Pip, the smallest of the bunch,
155
00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:55.500
cheeped the loudest and hopped closer to the edge. Are
156
00:15:55.559 --> 00:16:04.590
they soft? Sunny asked, her ears perking up. Oh, very soft,
157
00:16:05.389 --> 00:16:11.919
Hector said. nudging his nose against the enclosure. My owner
158
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:18.259
lets me say hello to them every day. They like me.
159
00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:25.950
Sunny wagged her tail, clearly excited. Can I say hello too?
160
00:16:26.809 --> 00:16:33.830
she asked. Hector's owner appeared and smiled and knelt beside them.
161
00:16:35.490 --> 00:16:41.080
You have to be very gentle, Sonny, he said. Chicks
162
00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:50.080
are delicate. Sonny sat down immediately, her fluffy tail wagging
163
00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:54.539
as she watched the human scoop up little Pip and
164
00:16:54.620 --> 00:17:02.240
hold him out carefully. Be nice and slow, Hector advised,
165
00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:10.130
watching closely as Sunny sniffed at the tiny chick. Pip
166
00:17:10.450 --> 00:17:15.430
let out a cheerful cheep, blinking up at Sunny with
167
00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:23.519
bright little eyes. Sunny's tail thumped against the floor. Oh,
168
00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:35.059
he's adorable, she said. He's like a little, tiny, fluffy cloud.
169
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:42.809
Hector's owner placed Pip back into the enclosure and the
170
00:17:42.869 --> 00:17:48.630
little chick flapped his tiny wings before settling down with
171
00:17:48.670 --> 00:17:55.670
the others. They're even cuter than I could have imagined,
172
00:17:56.630 --> 00:18:05.029
Sunny said dreamily. Can we play with them outside? Hector grinned.
173
00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:13.299
That's exactly what I was going to say next. Their
174
00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:18.960
owners carried the chicks carefully back outside, setting up a
175
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.940
safe play area in the garden where they could peck
176
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:28.569
at the grass and flap their little wings. Hector and
177
00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:33.579
Sunny bounded after them, excited to see what the chicks
178
00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:39.680
would do. As soon as the chicks were settled, they
179
00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:46.400
began exploring. Peanut was the first to hop around, pecking
180
00:18:46.619 --> 00:18:53.109
curiously at a small dandelion. Nibbles, true to his name,
181
00:18:53.730 --> 00:18:59.619
found a little clump of grass to investigate. Esther The
182
00:18:59.650 --> 00:19:04.640
youngest took her time, staying close to the others as
183
00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:11.500
they chirped and waddled through the yard. Sunny watched them
184
00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:19.500
in amazement. They're so tiny. And look at their little feet.
185
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:30.619
Hector giggled. They walk funny, don't they? Sunny nodded. still fascinated.
186
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:38.430
Then she had an idea. What if we made an
187
00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:47.240
obstacle course for them? Hector's eyes lit up. Yes, that
188
00:19:47.579 --> 00:19:55.019
would be so fun. Together, the two puppies gathered twigs
189
00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:59.400
and leaves, placing them carefully in little paths for the
190
00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:05.329
chicks to explore. They even set up tiny ramps made
191
00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:12.809
from pieces of wood. The chicks waddled curiously through the course,
192
00:20:13.690 --> 00:20:20.599
hopping over twigs and pecking at the leaves. Daisy, the
193
00:20:20.650 --> 00:20:26.700
most adventurous, flapped her little wings and fluttered onto one
194
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:36.000
of the ramps. Hector and Sonny cheered. Go, Daisy! Esther,
195
00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:41.599
the littlest chick, took her time watching the others before
196
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:50.119
carefully following along. Pip and Bumble played together, peeping excitedly
197
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:56.700
as they chased a tiny beetle across the grass. Sunny's
198
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:06.369
ears perked up. This is the best day ever! Hector grinned.
199
00:21:07.730 --> 00:21:12.099
It really is. I love showing my chicks to my
200
00:21:12.140 --> 00:21:19.059
best friend. As the sun began to lower in the sky,
201
00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:25.460
their owners brought out a special treat. Cool water and
202
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:31.049
kibble for the puppies and some tiny grains for the chicks.
203
00:21:32.589 --> 00:21:38.150
The little flock pecked happily at their snack while Hector
204
00:21:38.210 --> 00:21:45.119
and Sonny lapped up their refreshing water. The two puppies
205
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:51.180
flopped down in the grass, watching their feathery friends as
206
00:21:51.240 --> 00:22:04.420
the warm afternoon breeze rustled through the trees. Sunny sighed happily. Hector,
207
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:11.460
this was the best surprise ever. I love your chicks.
208
00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:18.210
Hector wagged his tail. I'm so glad you like them.
209
00:22:19.069 --> 00:22:24.829
You can visit them any time you want. Sunny beamed.
210
00:22:26.150 --> 00:22:34.200
I'll come over every day. Happy Easter. Happy Easter, Hector
211
00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:44.160
woofed back. Their owners chuckled. petting both puppies gently. You
212
00:22:44.259 --> 00:22:51.700
two make a great team, Sunny's mum said. Hector and
213
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:57.559
Sunny looked at each other, grinning. They did make a
214
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:04.059
great team. Two best friends and a whole flock of
215
00:23:04.180 --> 00:23:11.730
tiny chicks to look after. As the sun set, the
216
00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:20.579
little chicks huddled together in the straw, chirping sleepily. Hector
217
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:27.000
and Sunny curled up side by side, tired from all
218
00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:35.799
the excitement, but happy beyond words. It had been a
219
00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:44.869
perfect day. And as the stars twinkled above, Hector knew
220
00:23:44.950 --> 00:23:50.839
that he and Sunny and the fluffy little chicks had
221
00:23:51.150 --> 00:24:00.140
many more adventures ahead. Rest now, little one, be still.
222
00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:07.259
Let the moonlight gently fill all around you, soft and calm.
223
00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:12.309
You are safe. You are warm. What a big day.
224
00:24:12.809 --> 00:24:20.210
Full of play. Now it's time to drift away. Playing, laughing,
225
00:24:20.529 --> 00:24:26.690
loved so much. Now it's time for night's soft hush.
226
00:24:27.549 --> 00:24:32.630
Feel your blanket all around. Hugging you without a sound.
227
00:24:33.509 --> 00:24:39.650
Pillow soft beneath your head. Everything is safe. In bed,
228
00:24:40.809 --> 00:24:48.819
little fingers, little toes, resting soft as daytime goes. Body
229
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:59.480
calm and breathing deep, drifting, drifting off to sleep. Outside now,
230
00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:03.839
the night is here. The koala moon is shining down,
231
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:10.630
her kind eyes watching over you. The koala moon smiles
232
00:25:10.690 --> 00:25:15.369
from the sky. Her warm light comes through your window
233
00:25:15.490 --> 00:25:21.819
like a goodnight kiss. She says, Hello, little one. You
234
00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:28.119
are safe. I am here. I'm watching over you. Her
235
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:33.940
moonlight comes closer. It fills your room with sleepy calm.
236
00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:41.299
It touches your hand, your arm. Your heart, warm like
237
00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:48.059
a dream. You are safe. You are calm. You are loved.
238
00:25:49.579 --> 00:25:56.259
The moonlight touches your fingers, your toes. Everything feels warm.
239
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:04.640
Everything feels light, like the softest cloud. Your eyes are
240
00:26:04.769 --> 00:26:11.599
so heavy now. So sleepy. They want to stay closed.
241
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:19.380
That's just right. You are gentle. You are kind. You
242
00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:26.750
are loved. The koala moon begins to hum. A soft,
243
00:26:27.049 --> 00:26:33.299
sleepy sound. Like a lullaby in the air. She hums
244
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:39.700
as you breathe. She hums as you drift. She hums
245
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:51.289
you to sleep. Drifting, drifting softly away. Drifting through dreams
246
00:26:51.609 --> 00:26:57.650
at the end of the day. Floating on clouds so peaceful,
247
00:26:57.910 --> 00:27:08.170
so deep. Drifting and dreaming. Falling asleep. The koala moon
248
00:27:08.369 --> 00:27:15.480
hums again. You are calm. You are cozy. You are loved.
249
00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:21.559
Your bed is a soft cloud. Your blanket is a
250
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:28.829
gentle sky. It wraps all around you. Holding you close.
251
00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:37.250
Warm and cozy, like a hug all night long. The
252
00:27:37.309 --> 00:27:41.730
koala moon tucks you in with her light and your
253
00:27:41.789 --> 00:27:47.970
bed feels so cozy and warm. Outside the world is
254
00:27:48.069 --> 00:27:56.039
resting too. Everything is quiet now, so peaceful, so still.
255
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:10.910
The trees are swaying, soft and slow. The flowers are sleeping.
256
00:28:11.630 --> 00:28:19.089
The grass is still. The night is quiet. The koala
257
00:28:19.150 --> 00:28:25.900
moon is up high, watching over everything. Everyone who loves
258
00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:32.329
you is resting too. Your family, your friends, the animals,
259
00:28:33.109 --> 00:28:40.019
the trees, all are peaceful, all are kind. The love
260
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:46.640
that holds you holds them too. The koala moon shines
261
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:52.529
for everyone. You are part of that love. You are
262
00:28:52.569 --> 00:28:58.079
part of the world. The world is gentle. The world
263
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:06.519
is kind. Your shoulders are soft. Your neck is soft.
264
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:16.299
Your whole body is sinking down, down, down into your
265
00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:25.240
cozy bed. You are safe. You are loved. You are
266
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:32.180
wonderful just the way you are. The koala moon glows
267
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:38.430
a little brighter. She whispers, let's count some sleepy things.
268
00:29:39.470 --> 00:29:39.890
One.
269
00:29:40.329 --> 00:29:47.420
Soft blanket, warm and cozy. Two little feet tucked in tight.
270
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:55.960
Three tiny dreams waiting for you. Four sleepy koalas in
271
00:29:56.019 --> 00:30:05.660
a tree. Five gentle stars. saying, you are loved. The
272
00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:12.630
koala moon's light swirls slowly, drawing shapes in the dark.
273
00:30:13.630 --> 00:30:22.130
A heart, a cloud, a little sleeping koala. Each shape
274
00:30:22.309 --> 00:30:30.769
glows soft and golden, then drifts away. Just like you,
275
00:30:31.549 --> 00:30:39.460
drifting into dreams. You are so peaceful now, so quiet,
276
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:50.900
so still. Drifting, drifting softly away. Drifting through dreams at
277
00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:57.069
the end of the day. Floating on clouds, so peaceful,
278
00:30:57.670 --> 00:31:08.230
so deep. Drifting and dreaming. Falling asleep. Your arms are heavy,
279
00:31:08.769 --> 00:31:15.230
resting by your side. Your legs are still, long and comfortable.
280
00:31:16.369 --> 00:31:21.410
Your eyes are closed. They want to stay closed too.
281
00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:31.980
Everything is safe now. Everything is cosy. The koala moon
282
00:31:32.099 --> 00:31:36.759
is still high in the sky above you. Her glow
283
00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:45.450
is soft, warm, sleepy. She's watching over you like a grandmother,
284
00:31:46.349 --> 00:31:53.930
like a friend. She whispers, the trees are sleeping and
285
00:31:54.039 --> 00:32:00.240
so are you. The flowers are sleeping, the sky is too.
286
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.819
I'm resting up here in the night. And you are sleeping,
287
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:16.529
little one. Sleep tight. The world is quiet now. All
288
00:32:16.630 --> 00:32:23.049
is well. Your heart is calm. Your body is warm.
289
00:32:24.049 --> 00:32:30.980
Your mind is peaceful. You are safe. You are loved.
290
00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:42.089
You are home. Sleep now, little one. Sleep softly. Sleep deeply.
291
00:32:43.230 --> 00:32:50.829
Sleep peacefully. The koala moon is watching over you. The
292
00:32:50.910 --> 00:32:57.839
night is holding you close. The world is gentle. You
293
00:32:58.059 --> 00:33:05.990
are gentle too. The world is kind. You are kind too.
294
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:14.980
The world is loved. You are loved too. May your
295
00:33:15.049 --> 00:33:20.150
dreams always be sweet under the koala moon.

00:00:21.629 --> 00:00:25.980
for your support. Okay, let's get cosy and I'll begin.
7
00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:31.760
When Hector the Golden Retriever was a little puppy with
8
00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:36.509
soft floppy ears and a fluffy tail that wagged whenever
9
00:00:36.549 --> 00:00:41.189
he was excited, which was nearly all the time, he
10
00:00:41.289 --> 00:00:46.450
had one of the most special Easters ever. And it
11
00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:53.000
was all thanks to some little fuzzy yellow chicks. He
12
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.759
lived in the same cosy little house with his owner,
13
00:00:57.270 --> 00:01:00.869
who took care of him with lots of love, belly
14
00:01:00.929 --> 00:01:06.849
rubs and tasty treats. One morning, as Hector stretched his
15
00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:12.000
paws and yawned, he saw his owner carrying a big,
16
00:01:12.260 --> 00:01:18.200
strange-looking machine into the kitchen. It had buttons, a clear
17
00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:25.280
lid and a warm yellow glow coming from inside. Hector
18
00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:31.530
tilted his head his tail wagging with curiosity. What's that?
19
00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:37.150
he barked. All his owner heard was woofs as he
20
00:01:37.209 --> 00:01:42.170
didn't speak dog. It always seemed like he knew what
21
00:01:42.209 --> 00:01:47.030
Hector was saying though. He chuckled and set the machine
22
00:01:47.109 --> 00:01:53.049
on the counter. This is an incubator, Hector. It is
23
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:57.560
a warm box meant for eggs to hatch in. Some
24
00:01:57.590 --> 00:02:01.840
baby chicks are going to hatch from here soon. Farmer
25
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.040
Tom had so many this year that we're helping look
26
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.939
after a few of his eggs. Hector's ears perked up. Chicks?
27
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:20.250
Like baby chickens? That sounded like so much fun. He
28
00:02:20.289 --> 00:02:25.650
watched as his owner carefully placed six smooth eggs inside
29
00:02:25.689 --> 00:02:32.740
the incubator. adjusting them gently before closing the lid. All
30
00:02:32.780 --> 00:02:36.080
we have to do is keep them warm and safe
31
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:41.639
while they grow, his owner said. Hector stood on his
32
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.770
hind legs, placing his paws on the counter to get
33
00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:51.729
a closer look. The eggs didn't move, but something about
34
00:02:51.849 --> 00:02:58.680
them seemed very special. His puppy heart swelled with excitement.
35
00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:04.840
He decided right then and there that he would watch
36
00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:10.900
over the eggs just like a big brother. Every day
37
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.800
Hector checked on the eggs. He would sit by the incubator,
38
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.659
his warm brown eyes watching for any sign of movement.
39
00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:28.789
Sometimes he would gently sniff at the glass lid curious
40
00:03:28.949 --> 00:03:34.550
about what was happening inside other times he would lie
41
00:03:34.610 --> 00:03:39.379
down beside the counter resting his head on his paws
42
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:45.039
and keeping watch his owner told him it would take
43
00:03:45.099 --> 00:03:49.000
a little while before the eggs hatched so Hector had
44
00:03:49.099 --> 00:03:53.629
to be patient that was hard for a puppy who
45
00:03:53.689 --> 00:03:58.069
loved to chase his tail play in the garden and
46
00:03:58.129 --> 00:04:03.669
run in circles when he was excited. But for these eggs,
47
00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:08.250
he was willing to wait and not sit there barking
48
00:04:08.330 --> 00:04:13.629
in excitement for days on end. To make the time
49
00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:19.089
pass faster, his owner showed Hector how the incubator worked.
50
00:04:20.310 --> 00:04:24.759
He explained how the eggs needed warmth and how they
51
00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:28.759
needed to be turned slightly every day to help the
52
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:35.279
chicks grow inside. He even let Hector watch as he
53
00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:39.480
carefully misted the eggs with water to keep the shells
54
00:04:39.540 --> 00:04:46.439
from getting too dry. One afternoon, Hector's owner sat down
55
00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:51.339
next to Hector and held up a flashlight. Want to
56
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:57.759
see something special? He asked. Hector tilted his head and
57
00:04:57.819 --> 00:05:03.290
wagged his tail. Yes, he said with his big shiny eyes.
58
00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:09.709
His owner turned off the lights and gently lifted one
59
00:05:09.730 --> 00:05:14.750
of the eggs from the incubator. He shone the flashlight
60
00:05:14.889 --> 00:05:21.160
underneath it and suddenly Hector could see a tiny shadow
61
00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:28.899
moving inside. His tail thumped against the floor. It's there.
62
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:36.310
There's a chicken there. His owner nodded. That's right. They're
63
00:05:36.389 --> 00:05:43.670
growing bigger every day, he said. Hector felt even more
64
00:05:43.769 --> 00:05:49.920
excited now. He wasn't just watching over eggs. He was
65
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.230
watching over new little lives. waiting to hatch into the world.
66
00:05:58.110 --> 00:06:02.930
Then one evening, just as the sun was setting and
67
00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:12.449
filling the kitchen with golden light, Hector heard it. Tap, tap, tap.
68
00:06:14.470 --> 00:06:18.620
His ears shot up. He leapt to his paws and
69
00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:24.379
let out an excited squeal. The eggs were about to hatch.
70
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.660
Hector's owner rushed over with a big smile. Sure enough,
71
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:39.490
tiny cracks were forming in the eggs. Little beaks poked through,
72
00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:46.430
tapping their way into the world. Hector watched in awe
73
00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:55.110
as one by one, six eggs, fluffy chicks wobbled out
74
00:06:55.170 --> 00:07:00.069
of their shells. It took a while. Some of the
75
00:07:00.129 --> 00:07:06.040
chicks needed extra time to push their way free. Hector
76
00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:13.160
watched patiently, his heart full of excitement as each little
77
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:20.269
chick finally emerged, except for one. There was one egg
78
00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:30.079
left still incubating. Hector patted it affectionately. Not everyone moved
79
00:07:30.189 --> 00:07:34.949
at the same pace he knew. Some of the chicks
80
00:07:35.029 --> 00:07:40.569
were yellow, some had speckles, and all of them were
81
00:07:40.689 --> 00:07:48.709
tiny and perfect. The chicks were soft as cloud. with
82
00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:53.629
tiny wings that flapped when they tried to walk. They
83
00:07:53.709 --> 00:07:59.529
peeped and cheeped, their little voices filling the kitchen with
84
00:07:59.569 --> 00:08:06.550
the happiest sounds Hector had ever heard. His owner gently
85
00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:12.189
lifted each chick into a warm enclosure lined with straw
86
00:08:12.329 --> 00:08:17.170
and a small heat lamp. They need to stay cosy.
87
00:08:17.689 --> 00:08:24.410
until they're big enough to explore, he explained. Hector wagged
88
00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:31.410
his tail and leaned in close. Hello, little chicks, he whispered.
89
00:08:32.409 --> 00:08:40.440
I'm Hector. I've been waiting for you. The chicks wobbled
90
00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:46.879
toward him, blinking their tiny eyes. They couldn't talk like
91
00:08:46.940 --> 00:08:54.289
he could but their cheats sounded cheerful and friendly. Hector's
92
00:08:54.450 --> 00:09:02.419
owner had given them all names. Peanut, Pip, Daisy, Nibbles,
93
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.620
Sophie and Bumble. The one still in its shell hadn't
94
00:09:09.830 --> 00:09:15.330
been named yet. Hector thought that was right. He needed
95
00:09:15.389 --> 00:09:18.289
to meet someone to be sure to give them the
96
00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:25.409
perfect name. Each of the chicks had its own little personality.
97
00:09:26.669 --> 00:09:33.919
Peanut was the bravest, always stepping forward first. Pip was
98
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.559
the tiniest, chirping extra loudly to make up for it.
99
00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:45.870
Daisy loved to snuggle into the straw. while Nibbles was
100
00:09:46.169 --> 00:09:49.470
always pecking at things to see if they were food.
101
00:09:51.190 --> 00:09:55.649
Sophie had bright yellow feathers that made her look like
102
00:09:55.710 --> 00:10:01.059
a little ray of sunshine, and Bumble was... round and
103
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:08.110
fluffy like a little bumblebee. Hector visited them every day.
104
00:10:09.269 --> 00:10:14.070
He would lie beside their enclosure watching them wobble, hop
105
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:21.669
and flap their tiny wings. Sometimes When his owner lifted
106
00:10:21.750 --> 00:10:27.309
them gently, Hector would nuzzle them with his nose, feeling
107
00:10:27.370 --> 00:10:36.139
their soft downy feathers. While the six chicks chirped and played,
108
00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:42.240
the last egg sat in the incubator, still and quiet.
109
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:50.929
Hector looked at it curiously, tilting his head. When will
110
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:55.799
this one be ready? he asked, nudging the incubator with
111
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:02.039
his nose. The chicks were no help, they just cheeped
112
00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:08.090
and chirped. Hector had a feeling it would hatch very soon,
113
00:11:08.929 --> 00:11:15.590
like it was waiting for its moment. On Easter Sunday,
114
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:23.389
bright and early in the morning, something magical happened. Just
115
00:11:23.509 --> 00:11:33.340
as the sun rose, the last egg wobbled, then it cracked, then... Cheep!
116
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:40.870
Out popped the tiniest chick of all, soft and fluffy
117
00:11:41.070 --> 00:11:47.789
and as golden as the morning sun. Hector barked excitedly.
118
00:11:48.649 --> 00:11:55.389
It's our Easter chick, he smiled. We'll call her Esther,
119
00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:03.259
like Easter. Hector's owner carefully lifted the little chick and
120
00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:09.279
placed her with the others. The six chirped happily, welcoming
121
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:15.960
their new sibling. Easter was a special day in Hector's house.
122
00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:23.070
His owner had planned a painted egg hunt, hiding shiny, colourful,
123
00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:29.809
doggy-safe eggs all over the garden. Hector loved sniffing them out,
124
00:12:30.610 --> 00:12:36.070
his nose twitching as he searched behind flowerpots and under bushes.
125
00:12:38.049 --> 00:12:41.690
Whenever he found one, his owner gave him a little
126
00:12:41.789 --> 00:12:46.179
treat of his own. but the best part was when
127
00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:49.509
the chicks got to go outside for the first time.
128
00:12:50.870 --> 00:12:56.690
The little flock of seven, now including Esther, pecked around
129
00:12:56.730 --> 00:13:02.500
the grass, exploring the big world beyond their cosy enclosure.
130
00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:09.279
Hector played in the yard with the chicks all afternoon,
131
00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:14.940
running in circles around them as they pecked curiously at
132
00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:20.179
the grass. He made sure they didn't wander too far
133
00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:26.789
and stayed close to keep them safe. As the day ended,
134
00:13:27.389 --> 00:13:31.549
he curled up beside his owner in the warm sunshine,
135
00:13:32.570 --> 00:13:39.149
watching the little chicks nestle together in the straw. It
136
00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:45.429
had been a perfect Easter so far. one filled with surprises,
137
00:13:46.169 --> 00:13:51.259
fun and the joy of new life. And as his
138
00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:58.159
owner scratched behind his ears, Hector closed his eyes, knowing
139
00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:02.769
that he had been the best big brother these little
140
00:14:02.870 --> 00:14:10.870
chicks could have. A little while later, Hector's best puppy pal, Sunny,
141
00:14:11.070 --> 00:14:15.809
arrived with her owner. She bounded through the garden gate,
142
00:14:16.389 --> 00:14:22.470
her tail wagging so fast it was a golden blur. Hector,
143
00:14:23.190 --> 00:14:28.789
I'm here, she barked excitedly, racing up to her friend
144
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:35.580
and jumping in circles around him. Hector gave a happy
145
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:41.600
woof and wagged his tail Sunny, I have a surprise
146
00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:49.019
for you, he said solemnly. Come inside. Hector led the
147
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:55.240
other puppy into the house and over to the chick enclosure. Inside,
148
00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:59.899
the seven little chicks were pecking at the straw and
149
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.389
flapping their tiny wings. Sunny stopped, her big brown eyes widening.
150
00:15:10.730 --> 00:15:18.240
What are those? she asked, tilting her head. They're my
151
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:26.379
baby chicks, Hector said proudly. My owner and I helped
152
00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:34.070
them hatch from eggs. Sunny's nose twitched as she leaned
153
00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:40.870
closer to the enclosure. The chicks chirped. and wobbled toward her,
154
00:15:41.909 --> 00:15:49.129
their tiny heads bobbing curiously. Pip, the smallest of the bunch,
155
00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:55.500
cheeped the loudest and hopped closer to the edge. Are
156
00:15:55.559 --> 00:16:04.590
they soft? Sunny asked, her ears perking up. Oh, very soft,
157
00:16:05.389 --> 00:16:11.919
Hector said. nudging his nose against the enclosure. My owner
158
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:18.259
lets me say hello to them every day. They like me.
159
00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:25.950
Sunny wagged her tail, clearly excited. Can I say hello too?
160
00:16:26.809 --> 00:16:33.830
she asked. Hector's owner appeared and smiled and knelt beside them.
161
00:16:35.490 --> 00:16:41.080
You have to be very gentle, Sonny, he said. Chicks
162
00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:50.080
are delicate. Sonny sat down immediately, her fluffy tail wagging
163
00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:54.539
as she watched the human scoop up little Pip and
164
00:16:54.620 --> 00:17:02.240
hold him out carefully. Be nice and slow, Hector advised,
165
00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:10.130
watching closely as Sunny sniffed at the tiny chick. Pip
166
00:17:10.450 --> 00:17:15.430
let out a cheerful cheep, blinking up at Sunny with
167
00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:23.519
bright little eyes. Sunny's tail thumped against the floor. Oh,
168
00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:35.059
he's adorable, she said. He's like a little, tiny, fluffy cloud.
169
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:42.809
Hector's owner placed Pip back into the enclosure and the
170
00:17:42.869 --> 00:17:48.630
little chick flapped his tiny wings before settling down with
171
00:17:48.670 --> 00:17:55.670
the others. They're even cuter than I could have imagined,
172
00:17:56.630 --> 00:18:05.029
Sunny said dreamily. Can we play with them outside? Hector grinned.
173
00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:13.299
That's exactly what I was going to say next. Their
174
00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:18.960
owners carried the chicks carefully back outside, setting up a
175
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.940
safe play area in the garden where they could peck
176
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:28.569
at the grass and flap their little wings. Hector and
177
00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:33.579
Sunny bounded after them, excited to see what the chicks
178
00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:39.680
would do. As soon as the chicks were settled, they
179
00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:46.400
began exploring. Peanut was the first to hop around, pecking
180
00:18:46.619 --> 00:18:53.109
curiously at a small dandelion. Nibbles, true to his name,
181
00:18:53.730 --> 00:18:59.619
found a little clump of grass to investigate. Esther The
182
00:18:59.650 --> 00:19:04.640
youngest took her time, staying close to the others as
183
00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:11.500
they chirped and waddled through the yard. Sunny watched them
184
00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:19.500
in amazement. They're so tiny. And look at their little feet.
185
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:30.619
Hector giggled. They walk funny, don't they? Sunny nodded. still fascinated.
186
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:38.430
Then she had an idea. What if we made an
187
00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:47.240
obstacle course for them? Hector's eyes lit up. Yes, that
188
00:19:47.579 --> 00:19:55.019
would be so fun. Together, the two puppies gathered twigs
189
00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:59.400
and leaves, placing them carefully in little paths for the
190
00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:05.329
chicks to explore. They even set up tiny ramps made
191
00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:12.809
from pieces of wood. The chicks waddled curiously through the course,
192
00:20:13.690 --> 00:20:20.599
hopping over twigs and pecking at the leaves. Daisy, the
193
00:20:20.650 --> 00:20:26.700
most adventurous, flapped her little wings and fluttered onto one
194
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:36.000
of the ramps. Hector and Sonny cheered. Go, Daisy! Esther,
195
00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:41.599
the littlest chick, took her time watching the others before
196
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:50.119
carefully following along. Pip and Bumble played together, peeping excitedly
197
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:56.700
as they chased a tiny beetle across the grass. Sunny's
198
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:06.369
ears perked up. This is the best day ever! Hector grinned.
199
00:21:07.730 --> 00:21:12.099
It really is. I love showing my chicks to my
200
00:21:12.140 --> 00:21:19.059
best friend. As the sun began to lower in the sky,
201
00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:25.460
their owners brought out a special treat. Cool water and
202
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:31.049
kibble for the puppies and some tiny grains for the chicks.
203
00:21:32.589 --> 00:21:38.150
The little flock pecked happily at their snack while Hector
204
00:21:38.210 --> 00:21:45.119
and Sonny lapped up their refreshing water. The two puppies
205
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:51.180
flopped down in the grass, watching their feathery friends as
206
00:21:51.240 --> 00:22:04.420
the warm afternoon breeze rustled through the trees. Sunny sighed happily. Hector,
207
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:11.460
this was the best surprise ever. I love your chicks.
208
00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:18.210
Hector wagged his tail. I'm so glad you like them.
209
00:22:19.069 --> 00:22:24.829
You can visit them any time you want. Sunny beamed.
210
00:22:26.150 --> 00:22:34.200
I'll come over every day. Happy Easter. Happy Easter, Hector
211
00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:44.160
woofed back. Their owners chuckled. petting both puppies gently. You
212
00:22:44.259 --> 00:22:51.700
two make a great team, Sunny's mum said. Hector and
213
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:57.559
Sunny looked at each other, grinning. They did make a
214
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:04.059
great team. Two best friends and a whole flock of
215
00:23:04.180 --> 00:23:11.730
tiny chicks to look after. As the sun set, the
216
00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:20.579
little chicks huddled together in the straw, chirping sleepily. Hector
217
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:27.000
and Sunny curled up side by side, tired from all
218
00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:35.799
the excitement, but happy beyond words. It had been a
219
00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:44.869
perfect day. And as the stars twinkled above, Hector knew
220
00:23:44.950 --> 00:23:50.839
that he and Sunny and the fluffy little chicks had
221
00:23:51.150 --> 00:24:00.140
many more adventures ahead. Rest now, little one, be still.
222
00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:07.259
Let the moonlight gently fill all around you, soft and calm.
223
00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:12.309
You are safe. You are warm. What a big day.
224
00:24:12.809 --> 00:24:20.210
Full of play. Now it's time to drift away. Playing, laughing,
225
00:24:20.529 --> 00:24:26.690
loved so much. Now it's time for night's soft hush.
226
00:24:27.549 --> 00:24:32.630
Feel your blanket all around. Hugging you without a sound.
227
00:24:33.509 --> 00:24:39.650
Pillow soft beneath your head. Everything is safe. In bed,
228
00:24:40.809 --> 00:24:48.819
little fingers, little toes, resting soft as daytime goes. Body
229
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:59.480
calm and breathing deep, drifting, drifting off to sleep. Outside now,
230
00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:03.839
the night is here. The koala moon is shining down,
231
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:10.630
her kind eyes watching over you. The koala moon smiles
232
00:25:10.690 --> 00:25:15.369
from the sky. Her warm light comes through your window
233
00:25:15.490 --> 00:25:21.819
like a goodnight kiss. She says, Hello, little one. You
234
00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:28.119
are safe. I am here. I'm watching over you. Her
235
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:33.940
moonlight comes closer. It fills your room with sleepy calm.
236
00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:41.299
It touches your hand, your arm. Your heart, warm like
237
00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:48.059
a dream. You are safe. You are calm. You are loved.
238
00:25:49.579 --> 00:25:56.259
The moonlight touches your fingers, your toes. Everything feels warm.
239
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:04.640
Everything feels light, like the softest cloud. Your eyes are
240
00:26:04.769 --> 00:26:11.599
so heavy now. So sleepy. They want to stay closed.
241
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:19.380
That's just right. You are gentle. You are kind. You
242
00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:26.750
are loved. The koala moon begins to hum. A soft,
243
00:26:27.049 --> 00:26:33.299
sleepy sound. Like a lullaby in the air. She hums
244
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:39.700
as you breathe. She hums as you drift. She hums
245
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:51.289
you to sleep. Drifting, drifting softly away. Drifting through dreams
246
00:26:51.609 --> 00:26:57.650
at the end of the day. Floating on clouds so peaceful,
247
00:26:57.910 --> 00:27:08.170
so deep. Drifting and dreaming. Falling asleep. The koala moon
248
00:27:08.369 --> 00:27:15.480
hums again. You are calm. You are cozy. You are loved.
249
00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:21.559
Your bed is a soft cloud. Your blanket is a
250
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:28.829
gentle sky. It wraps all around you. Holding you close.
251
00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:37.250
Warm and cozy, like a hug all night long. The
252
00:27:37.309 --> 00:27:41.730
koala moon tucks you in with her light and your
253
00:27:41.789 --> 00:27:47.970
bed feels so cozy and warm. Outside the world is
254
00:27:48.069 --> 00:27:56.039
resting too. Everything is quiet now, so peaceful, so still.
255
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:10.910
The trees are swaying, soft and slow. The flowers are sleeping.
256
00:28:11.630 --> 00:28:19.089
The grass is still. The night is quiet. The koala
257
00:28:19.150 --> 00:28:25.900
moon is up high, watching over everything. Everyone who loves
258
00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:32.329
you is resting too. Your family, your friends, the animals,
259
00:28:33.109 --> 00:28:40.019
the trees, all are peaceful, all are kind. The love
260
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:46.640
that holds you holds them too. The koala moon shines
261
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:52.529
for everyone. You are part of that love. You are
262
00:28:52.569 --> 00:28:58.079
part of the world. The world is gentle. The world
263
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:06.519
is kind. Your shoulders are soft. Your neck is soft.
264
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:16.299
Your whole body is sinking down, down, down into your
265
00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:25.240
cozy bed. You are safe. You are loved. You are
266
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:32.180
wonderful just the way you are. The koala moon glows
267
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:38.430
a little brighter. She whispers, let's count some sleepy things.
268
00:29:39.470 --> 00:29:39.890
One.
269
00:29:40.329 --> 00:29:47.420
Soft blanket, warm and cozy. Two little feet tucked in tight.
270
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:55.960
Three tiny dreams waiting for you. Four sleepy koalas in
271
00:29:56.019 --> 00:30:05.660
a tree. Five gentle stars. saying, you are loved. The
272
00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:12.630
koala moon's light swirls slowly, drawing shapes in the dark.
273
00:30:13.630 --> 00:30:22.130
A heart, a cloud, a little sleeping koala. Each shape
274
00:30:22.309 --> 00:30:30.769
glows soft and golden, then drifts away. Just like you,
275
00:30:31.549 --> 00:30:39.460
drifting into dreams. You are so peaceful now, so quiet,
276
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:50.900
so still. Drifting, drifting softly away. Drifting through dreams at
277
00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:57.069
the end of the day. Floating on clouds, so peaceful,
278
00:30:57.670 --> 00:31:08.230
so deep. Drifting and dreaming. Falling asleep. Your arms are heavy,
279
00:31:08.769 --> 00:31:15.230
resting by your side. Your legs are still, long and comfortable.
280
00:31:16.369 --> 00:31:21.410
Your eyes are closed. They want to stay closed too.
281
00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:31.980
Everything is safe now. Everything is cosy. The koala moon
282
00:31:32.099 --> 00:31:36.759
is still high in the sky above you. Her glow
283
00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:45.450
is soft, warm, sleepy. She's watching over you like a grandmother,
284
00:31:46.349 --> 00:31:53.930
like a friend. She whispers, the trees are sleeping and
285
00:31:54.039 --> 00:32:00.240
so are you. The flowers are sleeping, the sky is too.
286
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.819
I'm resting up here in the night. And you are sleeping,
287
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:16.529
little one. Sleep tight. The world is quiet now. All
288
00:32:16.630 --> 00:32:23.049
is well. Your heart is calm. Your body is warm.
289
00:32:24.049 --> 00:32:30.980
Your mind is peaceful. You are safe. You are loved.
290
00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:42.089
You are home. Sleep now, little one. Sleep softly. Sleep deeply.
291
00:32:43.230 --> 00:32:50.829
Sleep peacefully. The koala moon is watching over you. The
292
00:32:50.910 --> 00:32:57.839
night is holding you close. The world is gentle. You
293
00:32:58.059 --> 00:33:05.990
are gentle too. The world is kind. You are kind too.
294
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:14.980
The world is loved. You are loved too. May your
295
00:33:15.049 --> 00:33:20.150
dreams always be sweet under the koala moon.
