00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:27.370
Thank you for your support. Okay, let's get cosy and
7
00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:34.479
I'll begin. Once upon a time there lived a little shepherd,
8
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.640
so little in fact that her name was Little Bo Peep.
9
00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:44.359
Her cheeks were blushed with a lovely peach and her
10
00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:49.320
voice sounded like a sweet silver bell. Little Bo Peep
11
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.700
wore a light cotton dress that swayed in the wind
12
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.560
and on her feet were small brown boots that tapped
13
00:00:57.689 --> 00:01:02.350
softly on the ground. Her hair was tied back neatly
14
00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:06.469
with a ribbon that always matched the colour of her dress.
15
00:01:08.209 --> 00:01:12.469
Each morning, Little Bo Peep would rise earlier than most
16
00:01:12.849 --> 00:01:16.340
to look after her flock of sheep. She would open
17
00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:20.500
the gate, lead them out into the field and then
18
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.200
count them one by one. And there were a lot
19
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:29.609
of them to count. She would make sure they had
20
00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:33.709
the greenest of grass to nibble, the freshest of water
21
00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:37.230
to drink, and the softest of hay to sleep in.
22
00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:44.670
She was a very good shepherd indeed. Every evening, before
23
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:48.200
it got too late, little Bo Peep would bring her
24
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.540
sheep back to their pen and help them settle down
25
00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:57.829
for bed. But on this particular evening, after a long
26
00:01:57.890 --> 00:02:02.150
day of looking after her flock, little Bo Peep felt
27
00:02:02.230 --> 00:02:08.759
more tired than usual. As dusk settled in, she wandered
28
00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:12.400
over to a patch of daisies on the bank and
29
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.159
sat down for what she thought would be a short rest.
30
00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:21.710
The grass felt cool beneath her palms and the petals
31
00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:28.159
of the daisies lightly brushed her fingers. I'll close my
32
00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:32.870
eyes for just a moment, she said quietly to herself.
33
00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:38.990
But before she knew it, little Bo Peep had drifted
34
00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:45.300
fast asleep. Not far away, her sheep waited in the
35
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.860
field as the last of the day's sun was setting.
36
00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:56.479
One sheep looked around and tilted her head. Has little
37
00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:00.590
Bo Peep forgotten to put us to bed? she asked.
38
00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:08.770
Another sheep shuffled his hooves. Yes, I wonder where she is.
39
00:03:08.789 --> 00:03:16.740
She's usually perfectly on time, he replied. At the front
40
00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:21.090
of the flock stood Bellwether, the leader. He was a
41
00:03:21.189 --> 00:03:25.090
slightly bigger sheep than the others. When he was only
42
00:03:25.129 --> 00:03:28.590
a tiny lamb, he had been the fluffiest of them all.
43
00:03:29.430 --> 00:03:33.479
So fluffy, in fact, that Little Bo Peep had chosen
44
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.319
him to be the leader of the flock all that
45
00:03:36.419 --> 00:03:41.759
time ago. He lifted his head and looked across the field.
46
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.469
Let's go and find her, just to check that she's alright.
47
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:55.259
Bellwether announced to the group. The sheep followed closely behind
48
00:03:55.419 --> 00:04:01.120
as Bellwether led them across the field. Soon, Bellwether spotted
49
00:04:01.189 --> 00:04:06.889
her by the bank. There she is, he said. Little
50
00:04:06.969 --> 00:04:12.530
Bo Peep was there, fast asleep, her hands resting in
51
00:04:12.610 --> 00:04:19.300
her lap, breathing slow and steady. She's been working so
52
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:24.860
hard lately. No wonder she's tired, one of the sheep whispered.
53
00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:31.670
Bellwether nodded. Then he looked from Bow Peak to the
54
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.290
open field and then towards a line of tall trees
55
00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:41.910
in the distance. The thing about Bellwether was he was
56
00:04:42.089 --> 00:04:48.250
one very curious sheep. Some might say, a little too curious.
57
00:04:49.269 --> 00:04:53.050
And so, like a lot of the time, a thought
58
00:04:53.310 --> 00:05:00.439
popped into his head. Well, he said slowly, Little Bo
59
00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:06.220
Peep looks like she'll be asleep for a while. The
60
00:05:06.259 --> 00:05:15.939
sheep glanced at one another. What are you thinking? one asked. Maybe...
61
00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:21.879
We could go on a little wonder, Bellwether suggested. He
62
00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:25.730
noticed that the rest of the sheep looked unsure and
63
00:05:25.769 --> 00:05:31.649
a little surprised. Just for a short while, Bellwether explained,
64
00:05:32.569 --> 00:05:38.449
we could explore, see something new, then come straight back
65
00:05:38.769 --> 00:05:45.860
before she wakes. But the sheep still weren't convinced. What
66
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.699
if she wakes up and thinks she has lost her sheep?
67
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:57.199
One of them questioned. Bellwether reassured them. We'll be back
68
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:03.129
before she even opens her eyes. Plus, Bo Peep always
69
00:06:03.209 --> 00:06:07.009
puts us to bed early. When else will we ever
70
00:06:07.069 --> 00:06:11.709
get the chance to go on a night-time adventure? He added.
71
00:06:13.350 --> 00:06:21.279
The sheep paused. Bellwether was right. It does sound quite fun,
72
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:27.500
one of the sheep admitted. Only if we come straight back,
73
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:35.629
another added. And with that, without waiting another moment, Bellwether
74
00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:40.170
turned and began leading the flock toward the nearby forest.
75
00:06:41.350 --> 00:06:45.410
They had always wondered about what they might find inside,
76
00:06:46.269 --> 00:06:51.329
but had never explored. The sheep reached the edge of
77
00:06:51.370 --> 00:06:56.149
the forest and looked up. They noticed how tall the
78
00:06:56.209 --> 00:06:59.810
trees were that stood in front of them, their trunks
79
00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:05.449
wide and their branches stretching this way and that. The
80
00:07:05.509 --> 00:07:09.769
last of the evening light slipped through the leaves in
81
00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:17.000
thin golden lines. As they ventured inside, The ground beneath
82
00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:23.339
their hooves began to change. The soft, open field turned
83
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:29.240
into a path covered in leaves and twigs. Everything felt
84
00:07:29.379 --> 00:07:35.699
different here. Tiny sounds filled the space around them. The
85
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.639
rustle of leaves, the quiet creak of branches, and the
86
00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:44.670
soft hum of the forest settling down for the night.
87
00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:52.589
The sheep slowed as they walked, looking all around. There's
88
00:07:52.769 --> 00:07:59.319
so much to see, one sheep whispered. It looks so
89
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:06.220
different from our field, another said. As they wandered around,
90
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:12.089
a faint rustle came from behind them. The sheep paused
91
00:08:12.490 --> 00:08:16.959
and turned their heads to listen. For a moment They
92
00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:20.759
wondered if it might be Little Bo Peep but they
93
00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:24.740
were having such a lovely time exploring they weren't quite
94
00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:29.279
ready for their adventure to end just yet. One of
95
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.120
the sheep shuffled over to a wide tree trunk and
96
00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:37.100
peeked around it to see where the sound was coming from.
97
00:08:38.740 --> 00:08:44.100
The sound came again but it wasn't footsteps at all.
98
00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:50.289
It was the soft flutter of wings from above a
99
00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:56.149
beautiful owl moved through the branches its feathers brushing against
100
00:08:56.220 --> 00:09:00.860
the leaves as it passed one of the sheep peeked
101
00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:06.440
out from behind the tree phew that wasn't Bo Peep
102
00:09:07.259 --> 00:09:12.159
it was just an owl he said Bellwether gave a
103
00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:18.909
small nod and the flock relaxed again They continued deeper
104
00:09:19.029 --> 00:09:26.000
into the forest, their curiosity growing with every step. They
105
00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:31.179
stepped carefully over roots that curled across the ground and
106
00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:37.370
brushed past low branches that tickled their wool. Then, after
107
00:09:37.409 --> 00:09:42.669
a little while, one sheep lifted her head. Can you
108
00:09:42.730 --> 00:09:50.730
hear that? she asked. Bellwether paused and listened carefully. Yes,
109
00:09:51.350 --> 00:09:59.090
he said, it sounds like running water. Another sheep squinted
110
00:09:59.169 --> 00:10:04.149
ahead between the branches. And look, can you see that?
111
00:10:05.570 --> 00:10:09.460
A faint mist rose above the trees in the distance.
112
00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:18.460
Bellwether nodded. I can indeed. A third sheep sniffed the air.
113
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:27.159
And What is that smell? Bellwether took a deep breath in.
114
00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:38.710
It smells minty and a little bit sweet. He looked ahead,
115
00:10:39.129 --> 00:10:45.610
curious as ever. Let's follow it. The sound, the mist
116
00:10:46.289 --> 00:10:51.129
and the smell. They must be coming from the same place.
117
00:10:53.029 --> 00:10:58.250
The sheep glanced at one another. Then, with growing excitement,
118
00:10:58.809 --> 00:11:05.759
they all nodded and followed Balwether. As they padded forward,
119
00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:10.539
the trees began to thin and the ground felt warmer
120
00:11:10.580 --> 00:11:17.039
beneath their hooves. And then they stopped. In front of
121
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:21.490
them was something they had never seen before. There was
122
00:11:21.529 --> 00:11:27.039
a wide rock pool. Filled with gentle bubbling water, steam
123
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:31.929
curled up into the air, drifting slowly above the surface.
124
00:11:33.350 --> 00:11:38.230
A tall waterfall poured down from the rocks above, the
125
00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:43.269
water gushing softly as it flowed into the pool below.
126
00:11:44.730 --> 00:11:50.360
The sheep blinked in amazement and stood very still, taking
127
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.740
it all in. One of the sheep broke the silence.
128
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:04.759
Is this a dream? she whispered. Bellwether shook his head slowly,
129
00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:11.590
his eyes wide. It's not a dream. This is what
130
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:19.350
happens when you explore, he said. The water bubbled and shimmered,
131
00:12:20.149 --> 00:12:25.289
sending little ripples everywhere. across the pool. Some of the
132
00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:30.649
sheep stepped closer and the mist from the waterfall brushed
133
00:12:30.750 --> 00:12:36.519
lightly against their faces. It felt warm and soothing on
134
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:42.460
their wool. They sniffed the air. It smelled different to
135
00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:49.360
anything they had known before. Not like grass, not like hay.
136
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:55.129
It had a fresh and minty smell, and it was
137
00:12:55.350 --> 00:13:02.250
very relaxing indeed. One sheep closed her eyes and took
138
00:13:02.269 --> 00:13:10.799
a deep breath. That smell is making me feel rather sleepy,
139
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.799
she said. Around the edge of the pool were wooden loungers,
140
00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:22.210
each with a rolled up towel, resting neatly at the end.
141
00:13:23.409 --> 00:13:28.429
Beside them sat a small basket filled with slices of cucumber.
142
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.519
One sheep wandered over and began to nibble the piece
143
00:13:35.419 --> 00:13:41.580
until noticing a small sign nearby. He tilted his head
144
00:13:42.179 --> 00:13:48.110
and read it out loud. Oops, the cucumber slices aren't
145
00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:52.049
meant to be eaten. They're meant to go over your eyes,
146
00:13:52.809 --> 00:13:59.100
he giggled. Carefully, he placed a slice over one eye,
147
00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:05.779
then the other. Oh, that does feel nice and relaxing,
148
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:12.669
he reported back to the group. Nearby, a few of
149
00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:20.480
the sheep spotted small purple rollers resting beside the loungers. Curious,
150
00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:26.110
they gently twisted them into their wool, watching as their
151
00:14:26.210 --> 00:14:33.730
curls bounced back even more springy than before. Wow, my
152
00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:40.240
hair has never looked better, admired the most glamorous sheep
153
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:47.039
in the group. Next, as the flock leader, Bellwether dipped
154
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:52.700
one hoof into the pool. The water is ever so
155
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.399
nice and warm, he said. This was all the others
156
00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:03.299
needed to hear. One by one, some of the sheep
157
00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:08.120
stepped into the water, letting it ripple around their legs.
158
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:14.759
Others climbed onto the loungers, wrapping themselves in the towels
159
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:22.399
and settling down. The waterfall poured down with a soft,
160
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:29.340
steady sound. The mist floated slowly through the air and
161
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:35.720
the warmth of the pool spread gently around them. Everything
162
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:44.639
felt calm. Everything felt quiet and still. And slowly, one
163
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:52.509
by one, the sheep began to relax. Back across the forest, however,
164
00:15:53.269 --> 00:15:58.289
Little Bo Peep had started to stir. One eye blinked
165
00:15:58.470 --> 00:16:05.179
open sleepily, then the other. She looked up. The sky
166
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.960
above her was now filled with tiny stars, and the
167
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:16.860
soft glow of moonlight stretched across the field. Oh, said
168
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.909
Little Bo Peep, as she realized that she had slept
169
00:16:20.990 --> 00:16:25.610
for much longer than she was meant to. She sat
170
00:16:25.730 --> 00:16:33.169
up slowly and looked around. That's funny, she said quietly.
171
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:40.059
Where are my sheep? She glanced towards the field, but
172
00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:46.090
they weren't there. Maybe they were so tired they put
173
00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:52.279
themselves to bed, she wondered out loud. She stood up
174
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:56.519
and made her way over to the pen. But when
175
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.440
she pushed open the wooden door, she found only the
176
00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:04.819
soft hay inside and not a single sheep snuggled up
177
00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:10.339
in it. Little Bo Peep paused and thought for a moment.
178
00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:17.730
If I know my sheep, I suspect Bellwether may have
179
00:17:17.789 --> 00:17:22.140
had something to do with this. She gave a small
180
00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:27.279
smile as she knew they would be safe. He is
181
00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:32.279
a very curious sheep, but he's a good leader too.
182
00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:37.460
Little Bo Peep began to walk in the direction of
183
00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:42.329
the forest to look for her flock. If I see
184
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:46.150
anyone along the way, I can ask if they've seen
185
00:17:46.190 --> 00:17:51.089
my sheep. She was confident. that someone would have seen them.
186
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:56.099
There were quite a lot of them, after all. But
187
00:17:56.339 --> 00:18:02.519
as she walked, the path was quiet. No people, no animals.
188
00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:10.190
It seemed everyone else had already gone to bed. Just
189
00:18:10.289 --> 00:18:13.789
as she reached the edge of the forest, she spotted
190
00:18:13.829 --> 00:18:18.910
a crow perched on a branch, pecking at a little
191
00:18:19.069 --> 00:18:27.589
midnight snack. Excuse me, said Little Bo Peep politely. Have
192
00:18:27.650 --> 00:18:32.450
you seen a flock of sheep pass by? The crow
193
00:18:32.779 --> 00:18:39.859
looked up. No, I haven't, he replied. But the magical
194
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.079
owl deeper in the forest might have. She sees everything.
195
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.180
Follow this path. Then turn right at a smaller gate.
196
00:18:52.539 --> 00:18:56.839
Keep walking to where the trees grow close together and
197
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.180
you'll find her there. Thank you, said Little Bo Peep.
198
00:19:04.339 --> 00:19:07.720
She followed the path just as the crow had said
199
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.440
and there, perched on a purple bush in front of her,
200
00:19:12.859 --> 00:19:18.900
was an owl. At first she looked like any other owl.
201
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:24.619
But when Bo Peep looked a little closer, she noticed
202
00:19:24.809 --> 00:19:29.210
a soft shimmer in her feathers and eyes that seemed
203
00:19:29.250 --> 00:19:35.809
to glow just a little brighter than usual. Hello, said
204
00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:39.910
little Bo Peep. I don't suppose you've seen my sheep?
205
00:19:41.349 --> 00:19:47.519
The owl gave a knowing blink. As a matter of fact,
206
00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:53.140
I did. They even tried to hide from me behind
207
00:19:53.220 --> 00:20:00.720
a tree. They're a curious little flock. Little Bo Peep smiled.
208
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:09.029
That sounded like her sheep. Where are they now? she asked. Come,
209
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:16.789
I'll show you, the owl replied kindly. The owl led
210
00:20:16.890 --> 00:20:21.450
her through the forest and Little Bo Peep noticed they
211
00:20:21.490 --> 00:20:27.849
were following a rather particular sweet smell. They turned a
212
00:20:27.890 --> 00:20:34.910
corner and Little Bo Peep stopped in amazement. I never
213
00:20:35.049 --> 00:20:39.619
knew this was here, she said. as she laid eyes
214
00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:46.289
on the rock pool. Most don't, said the owl. Only
215
00:20:46.369 --> 00:20:53.690
the curious ones find it. Little Bo Peep nodded. That
216
00:20:53.869 --> 00:21:00.890
does sound like bellwether. She looked across the pool, and
217
00:21:01.009 --> 00:21:07.880
there they were, her sheep all fast asleep. Some were
218
00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:13.980
wrapped warmly in towels, some had cooling cucumber over their eyes,
219
00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:20.220
and others had little rollers in their wool. Bellwether was
220
00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:25.589
stretched out on a lounger, his chest rising and falling
221
00:21:26.289 --> 00:21:33.130
in a slow, steady rhythm. Little Bo Peep smiled to herself.
222
00:21:34.490 --> 00:21:41.630
They've made themselves beautiful. Quite at home, she whispered. The
223
00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:46.289
sheep looked so peaceful and she didn't want to wake them.
224
00:21:47.490 --> 00:21:53.170
So instead, she found the last empty lounger and lay down.
225
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:59.559
The warmth of the pool brushed against her face. The
226
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:06.589
waterfall flowed in a steady rhythm. The air smelled calm
227
00:22:06.789 --> 00:22:11.750
and sweet and made her shoulders drop without her noticing.
228
00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:19.640
The towel beneath her felt thick and cozy. She pulled
229
00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:24.839
it gently over herself like a blanket and rested her
230
00:22:24.900 --> 00:22:30.799
head back. Little Bo Peep let out a slow breath.
231
00:22:31.710 --> 00:22:37.589
and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Her thoughts of
232
00:22:37.710 --> 00:22:44.380
searching and wondering for her sheep drifted slowly away, like
233
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:52.259
leaves on a quiet stream. Her breathing slowed even more,
234
00:22:53.500 --> 00:23:05.980
in and out, in and out. She sank deeper into
235
00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:14.180
the lounger, wrapped in warmth and stillness. And soon, little
236
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:24.609
Bo Peep was fast asleep, resting beside her flock. All together, safe,
237
00:23:25.269 --> 00:23:33.609
cosy and dreaming under the quiet night. Rest now, little one,
238
00:23:33.789 --> 00:23:40.000
be still. Let the moonlight gently fill. All around you,
239
00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:45.839
soft and calm. You are safe, you are warm. What
240
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:50.680
a big day, full of play. Now it's time to
241
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:58.750
drift away. Playing, laughing, loved so much. Now it's time
242
00:23:59.109 --> 00:24:05.309
for night's soft hushes. Feel your blanket all around, hugging
243
00:24:05.349 --> 00:24:12.279
you without a sound. Pillow soft beneath your head, everything
244
00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:19.900
is safe in bed. Little fingers, little toes, resting soft
245
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:28.500
as daytime goes. Body calm and breathing deep, drifting, drifting
246
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:35.990
off to sleep. Outside now, the night is here. The
247
00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:41.490
koala moon is shining down, her kind eyes watching over you.
248
00:24:42.970 --> 00:24:47.890
The koala moon smiles from the sky. Her warm light
249
00:24:48.150 --> 00:24:54.500
comes through your window like a goodnight kiss. She says, Hello,
250
00:24:54.559 --> 00:25:00.180
little one. You are safe. I am here. I'm watching
251
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.920
over you. Her moonlight comes closer. It fills your room
252
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:13.750
with sleepy calm. It touches your hand, your arm, your heart.
253
00:25:14.690 --> 00:25:20.829
Warm like a dream. You are safe. You are calm.
254
00:25:21.670 --> 00:25:27.700
You are loved. The moonlight touches your fingers, your toes.
255
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:36.170
Everything feels warm. Everything feels light. Like the softest cloud.
256
00:25:38.009 --> 00:25:44.529
Your eyes are so heavy now. So sleepy. They want
257
00:25:44.670 --> 00:25:51.880
to stay closed. That's just right. You are gentle. You
258
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:59.380
are kind. You are loved. The koala moon begins to hum.
259
00:26:00.309 --> 00:26:05.650
A soft Sleepy sound, like a lullaby in the air.
260
00:26:06.809 --> 00:26:12.009
She hums as you breathe. She hums as you drift.
261
00:26:13.089 --> 00:26:24.490
She hums you to sleep. Drifting, drifting softly away. Drifting
262
00:26:24.549 --> 00:26:29.599
through dreams at the end of the day. Floating on
263
00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:38.609
clouds so peaceful, so deep. Drifting and dreaming, falling asleep.
264
00:26:41.230 --> 00:26:47.849
The koala moon hums again. You are calm, you are cozy,
265
00:26:48.769 --> 00:26:54.519
you are loved. Your bed is a soft cloud, your
266
00:26:54.559 --> 00:27:01.059
blanket is a gentle sky. It wraps all around you,
267
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:08.839
holding you close. Warm and cozy, like a hug all
268
00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:14.490
night long. The koala moon tucks you in with her
269
00:27:14.569 --> 00:27:21.269
light and your bed feels so cozy and warm. Outside,
270
00:27:21.390 --> 00:27:28.970
the world is resting too. Everything is quiet now. So peaceful,
271
00:27:29.549 --> 00:27:43.599
so still. The trees are swaying, soft and slow. The
272
00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:50.859
flowers are sleeping. The grass is still. The night is quiet.
273
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:59.599
The koala moon is up high, watching over everything. Everyone
274
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:05.079
who loves you is resting too. Your family, your friends,
275
00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:12.539
the animals, the trees. All are peaceful. All are kind.
276
00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:19.619
The love that holds you holds them too. The koala
277
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:25.160
moon shines for everyone. You are part of that love.
278
00:28:26.109 --> 00:28:30.750
You are part of the world. The world is gentle.
279
00:28:31.690 --> 00:28:39.309
The world is kind. Your shoulders are soft. Your neck
280
00:28:40.150 --> 00:28:48.799
is soft. Your whole body is sinking down, down, down
281
00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:57.440
into your cozy bed. You are safe. You are loved.
282
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:05.359
You are wonderful just the way you are. The koala
283
00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:11.579
moon glows a little brighter. She whispers, let's count some
284
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:19.759
sleepy things. One soft blanket, warm and cozy. Two little
285
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:26.529
feet tucked in tight. Three tiny dreams waiting for you.
286
00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:35.289
Four sleepy koalas in a tree. Five gentle stars saying,
287
00:29:36.230 --> 00:29:45.019
you are loved. the koala moon's light swirls slowly, drawing
288
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:52.089
shapes in the dark, a heart, a cloud, a little
289
00:29:52.410 --> 00:30:02.769
sleeping koala, each shape glows so And golden. Then drifts away.
290
00:30:03.950 --> 00:30:12.140
Just like you. Drifting into dreams. You are so peaceful now.
291
00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:24.119
So quiet. So still. Drifting. Drifting softly away. Drifting through
292
00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:29.549
dreams at the end of the day. Floating on clouds,
293
00:30:30.230 --> 00:30:41.400
so peaceful, so deep. Drifting and dreaming, falling asleep. Your
294
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.410
arms are heavy, resting by your side. Your legs are still,
295
00:30:48.089 --> 00:30:54.009
long and comfortable. Your eyes are closed, they want to
296
00:30:54.069 --> 00:31:03.500
stay closed too. Everything is safe now. Everything is cozy.
297
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:09.380
The koala moon is still high in the sky above you.
298
00:31:10.380 --> 00:31:17.869
Her glow is soft, warm, sleepy. She's watching over you
299
00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:26.599
like a grandmother, like a friend. She whispers. The trees
300
00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:33.319
are sleeping. So are you. The flowers are sleeping. The
301
00:31:33.380 --> 00:31:39.349
sky is too. I'm resting up here in the night.
302
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:48.190
And you are sleeping, little one. Sleep tight. The world
303
00:31:48.269 --> 00:31:54.599
is quiet now. All is well. Your heart is calm.
304
00:31:55.480 --> 00:32:03.480
Your body is warm. Your mind is peaceful. You are safe.
305
00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:11.980
You are loved. You are home. Sleep now, little one.
306
00:32:13.140 --> 00:32:22.849
Sleep softly. Sleep deeply. Sleep peacefully. The koala moon is
307
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:28.869
watching over you. The night is holding you close. The
308
00:32:28.930 --> 00:32:36.779
world is gentle. You are gentle too. The world is kind.
309
00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:46.049
You are kind too. The world is loved. You are
310
00:32:46.130 --> 00:32:53.630
loved too. May your dreams always be sweet under the
311
00:32:53.670 --> 00:35:41.750
koala moon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

6
00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:27.370
Thank you for your support. Okay, let's get cosy and
7
00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:34.479
I'll begin. Once upon a time there lived a little shepherd,
8
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.640
so little in fact that her name was Little Bo Peep.
9
00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:44.359
Her cheeks were blushed with a lovely peach and her
10
00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:49.320
voice sounded like a sweet silver bell. Little Bo Peep
11
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.700
wore a light cotton dress that swayed in the wind
12
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.560
and on her feet were small brown boots that tapped
13
00:00:57.689 --> 00:01:02.350
softly on the ground. Her hair was tied back neatly
14
00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:06.469
with a ribbon that always matched the colour of her dress.
15
00:01:08.209 --> 00:01:12.469
Each morning, Little Bo Peep would rise earlier than most
16
00:01:12.849 --> 00:01:16.340
to look after her flock of sheep. She would open
17
00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:20.500
the gate, lead them out into the field and then
18
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.200
count them one by one. And there were a lot
19
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:29.609
of them to count. She would make sure they had
20
00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:33.709
the greenest of grass to nibble, the freshest of water
21
00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:37.230
to drink, and the softest of hay to sleep in.
22
00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:44.670
She was a very good shepherd indeed. Every evening, before
23
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:48.200
it got too late, little Bo Peep would bring her
24
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.540
sheep back to their pen and help them settle down
25
00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:57.829
for bed. But on this particular evening, after a long
26
00:01:57.890 --> 00:02:02.150
day of looking after her flock, little Bo Peep felt
27
00:02:02.230 --> 00:02:08.759
more tired than usual. As dusk settled in, she wandered
28
00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:12.400
over to a patch of daisies on the bank and
29
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.159
sat down for what she thought would be a short rest.
30
00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:21.710
The grass felt cool beneath her palms and the petals
31
00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:28.159
of the daisies lightly brushed her fingers. I'll close my
32
00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:32.870
eyes for just a moment, she said quietly to herself.
33
00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:38.990
But before she knew it, little Bo Peep had drifted
34
00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:45.300
fast asleep. Not far away, her sheep waited in the
35
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.860
field as the last of the day's sun was setting.
36
00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:56.479
One sheep looked around and tilted her head. Has little
37
00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:00.590
Bo Peep forgotten to put us to bed? she asked.
38
00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:08.770
Another sheep shuffled his hooves. Yes, I wonder where she is.
39
00:03:08.789 --> 00:03:16.740
She's usually perfectly on time, he replied. At the front
40
00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:21.090
of the flock stood Bellwether, the leader. He was a
41
00:03:21.189 --> 00:03:25.090
slightly bigger sheep than the others. When he was only
42
00:03:25.129 --> 00:03:28.590
a tiny lamb, he had been the fluffiest of them all.
43
00:03:29.430 --> 00:03:33.479
So fluffy, in fact, that Little Bo Peep had chosen
44
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.319
him to be the leader of the flock all that
45
00:03:36.419 --> 00:03:41.759
time ago. He lifted his head and looked across the field.
46
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.469
Let's go and find her, just to check that she's alright.
47
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:55.259
Bellwether announced to the group. The sheep followed closely behind
48
00:03:55.419 --> 00:04:01.120
as Bellwether led them across the field. Soon, Bellwether spotted
49
00:04:01.189 --> 00:04:06.889
her by the bank. There she is, he said. Little
50
00:04:06.969 --> 00:04:12.530
Bo Peep was there, fast asleep, her hands resting in
51
00:04:12.610 --> 00:04:19.300
her lap, breathing slow and steady. She's been working so
52
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:24.860
hard lately. No wonder she's tired, one of the sheep whispered.
53
00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:31.670
Bellwether nodded. Then he looked from Bow Peak to the
54
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.290
open field and then towards a line of tall trees
55
00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:41.910
in the distance. The thing about Bellwether was he was
56
00:04:42.089 --> 00:04:48.250
one very curious sheep. Some might say, a little too curious.
57
00:04:49.269 --> 00:04:53.050
And so, like a lot of the time, a thought
58
00:04:53.310 --> 00:05:00.439
popped into his head. Well, he said slowly, Little Bo
59
00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:06.220
Peep looks like she'll be asleep for a while. The
60
00:05:06.259 --> 00:05:15.939
sheep glanced at one another. What are you thinking? one asked. Maybe...
61
00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:21.879
We could go on a little wonder, Bellwether suggested. He
62
00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:25.730
noticed that the rest of the sheep looked unsure and
63
00:05:25.769 --> 00:05:31.649
a little surprised. Just for a short while, Bellwether explained,
64
00:05:32.569 --> 00:05:38.449
we could explore, see something new, then come straight back
65
00:05:38.769 --> 00:05:45.860
before she wakes. But the sheep still weren't convinced. What
66
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.699
if she wakes up and thinks she has lost her sheep?
67
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:57.199
One of them questioned. Bellwether reassured them. We'll be back
68
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:03.129
before she even opens her eyes. Plus, Bo Peep always
69
00:06:03.209 --> 00:06:07.009
puts us to bed early. When else will we ever
70
00:06:07.069 --> 00:06:11.709
get the chance to go on a night-time adventure? He added.
71
00:06:13.350 --> 00:06:21.279
The sheep paused. Bellwether was right. It does sound quite fun,
72
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:27.500
one of the sheep admitted. Only if we come straight back,
73
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:35.629
another added. And with that, without waiting another moment, Bellwether
74
00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:40.170
turned and began leading the flock toward the nearby forest.
75
00:06:41.350 --> 00:06:45.410
They had always wondered about what they might find inside,
76
00:06:46.269 --> 00:06:51.329
but had never explored. The sheep reached the edge of
77
00:06:51.370 --> 00:06:56.149
the forest and looked up. They noticed how tall the
78
00:06:56.209 --> 00:06:59.810
trees were that stood in front of them, their trunks
79
00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:05.449
wide and their branches stretching this way and that. The
80
00:07:05.509 --> 00:07:09.769
last of the evening light slipped through the leaves in
81
00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:17.000
thin golden lines. As they ventured inside, The ground beneath
82
00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:23.339
their hooves began to change. The soft, open field turned
83
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:29.240
into a path covered in leaves and twigs. Everything felt
84
00:07:29.379 --> 00:07:35.699
different here. Tiny sounds filled the space around them. The
85
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.639
rustle of leaves, the quiet creak of branches, and the
86
00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:44.670
soft hum of the forest settling down for the night.
87
00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:52.589
The sheep slowed as they walked, looking all around. There's
88
00:07:52.769 --> 00:07:59.319
so much to see, one sheep whispered. It looks so
89
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:06.220
different from our field, another said. As they wandered around,
90
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:12.089
a faint rustle came from behind them. The sheep paused
91
00:08:12.490 --> 00:08:16.959
and turned their heads to listen. For a moment They
92
00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:20.759
wondered if it might be Little Bo Peep but they
93
00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:24.740
were having such a lovely time exploring they weren't quite
94
00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:29.279
ready for their adventure to end just yet. One of
95
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.120
the sheep shuffled over to a wide tree trunk and
96
00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:37.100
peeked around it to see where the sound was coming from.
97
00:08:38.740 --> 00:08:44.100
The sound came again but it wasn't footsteps at all.
98
00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:50.289
It was the soft flutter of wings from above a
99
00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:56.149
beautiful owl moved through the branches its feathers brushing against
100
00:08:56.220 --> 00:09:00.860
the leaves as it passed one of the sheep peeked
101
00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:06.440
out from behind the tree phew that wasn't Bo Peep
102
00:09:07.259 --> 00:09:12.159
it was just an owl he said Bellwether gave a
103
00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:18.909
small nod and the flock relaxed again They continued deeper
104
00:09:19.029 --> 00:09:26.000
into the forest, their curiosity growing with every step. They
105
00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:31.179
stepped carefully over roots that curled across the ground and
106
00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:37.370
brushed past low branches that tickled their wool. Then, after
107
00:09:37.409 --> 00:09:42.669
a little while, one sheep lifted her head. Can you
108
00:09:42.730 --> 00:09:50.730
hear that? she asked. Bellwether paused and listened carefully. Yes,
109
00:09:51.350 --> 00:09:59.090
he said, it sounds like running water. Another sheep squinted
110
00:09:59.169 --> 00:10:04.149
ahead between the branches. And look, can you see that?
111
00:10:05.570 --> 00:10:09.460
A faint mist rose above the trees in the distance.
112
00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:18.460
Bellwether nodded. I can indeed. A third sheep sniffed the air.
113
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:27.159
And What is that smell? Bellwether took a deep breath in.
114
00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:38.710
It smells minty and a little bit sweet. He looked ahead,
115
00:10:39.129 --> 00:10:45.610
curious as ever. Let's follow it. The sound, the mist
116
00:10:46.289 --> 00:10:51.129
and the smell. They must be coming from the same place.
117
00:10:53.029 --> 00:10:58.250
The sheep glanced at one another. Then, with growing excitement,
118
00:10:58.809 --> 00:11:05.759
they all nodded and followed Balwether. As they padded forward,
119
00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:10.539
the trees began to thin and the ground felt warmer
120
00:11:10.580 --> 00:11:17.039
beneath their hooves. And then they stopped. In front of
121
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:21.490
them was something they had never seen before. There was
122
00:11:21.529 --> 00:11:27.039
a wide rock pool. Filled with gentle bubbling water, steam
123
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:31.929
curled up into the air, drifting slowly above the surface.
124
00:11:33.350 --> 00:11:38.230
A tall waterfall poured down from the rocks above, the
125
00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:43.269
water gushing softly as it flowed into the pool below.
126
00:11:44.730 --> 00:11:50.360
The sheep blinked in amazement and stood very still, taking
127
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.740
it all in. One of the sheep broke the silence.
128
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:04.759
Is this a dream? she whispered. Bellwether shook his head slowly,
129
00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:11.590
his eyes wide. It's not a dream. This is what
130
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:19.350
happens when you explore, he said. The water bubbled and shimmered,
131
00:12:20.149 --> 00:12:25.289
sending little ripples everywhere. across the pool. Some of the
132
00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:30.649
sheep stepped closer and the mist from the waterfall brushed
133
00:12:30.750 --> 00:12:36.519
lightly against their faces. It felt warm and soothing on
134
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:42.460
their wool. They sniffed the air. It smelled different to
135
00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:49.360
anything they had known before. Not like grass, not like hay.
136
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:55.129
It had a fresh and minty smell, and it was
137
00:12:55.350 --> 00:13:02.250
very relaxing indeed. One sheep closed her eyes and took
138
00:13:02.269 --> 00:13:10.799
a deep breath. That smell is making me feel rather sleepy,
139
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.799
she said. Around the edge of the pool were wooden loungers,
140
00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:22.210
each with a rolled up towel, resting neatly at the end.
141
00:13:23.409 --> 00:13:28.429
Beside them sat a small basket filled with slices of cucumber.
142
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.519
One sheep wandered over and began to nibble the piece
143
00:13:35.419 --> 00:13:41.580
until noticing a small sign nearby. He tilted his head
144
00:13:42.179 --> 00:13:48.110
and read it out loud. Oops, the cucumber slices aren't
145
00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:52.049
meant to be eaten. They're meant to go over your eyes,
146
00:13:52.809 --> 00:13:59.100
he giggled. Carefully, he placed a slice over one eye,
147
00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:05.779
then the other. Oh, that does feel nice and relaxing,
148
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:12.669
he reported back to the group. Nearby, a few of
149
00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:20.480
the sheep spotted small purple rollers resting beside the loungers. Curious,
150
00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:26.110
they gently twisted them into their wool, watching as their
151
00:14:26.210 --> 00:14:33.730
curls bounced back even more springy than before. Wow, my
152
00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:40.240
hair has never looked better, admired the most glamorous sheep
153
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:47.039
in the group. Next, as the flock leader, Bellwether dipped
154
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:52.700
one hoof into the pool. The water is ever so
155
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.399
nice and warm, he said. This was all the others
156
00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:03.299
needed to hear. One by one, some of the sheep
157
00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:08.120
stepped into the water, letting it ripple around their legs.
158
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:14.759
Others climbed onto the loungers, wrapping themselves in the towels
159
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:22.399
and settling down. The waterfall poured down with a soft,
160
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:29.340
steady sound. The mist floated slowly through the air and
161
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:35.720
the warmth of the pool spread gently around them. Everything
162
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:44.639
felt calm. Everything felt quiet and still. And slowly, one
163
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:52.509
by one, the sheep began to relax. Back across the forest, however,
164
00:15:53.269 --> 00:15:58.289
Little Bo Peep had started to stir. One eye blinked
165
00:15:58.470 --> 00:16:05.179
open sleepily, then the other. She looked up. The sky
166
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.960
above her was now filled with tiny stars, and the
167
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:16.860
soft glow of moonlight stretched across the field. Oh, said
168
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.909
Little Bo Peep, as she realized that she had slept
169
00:16:20.990 --> 00:16:25.610
for much longer than she was meant to. She sat
170
00:16:25.730 --> 00:16:33.169
up slowly and looked around. That's funny, she said quietly.
171
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:40.059
Where are my sheep? She glanced towards the field, but
172
00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:46.090
they weren't there. Maybe they were so tired they put
173
00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:52.279
themselves to bed, she wondered out loud. She stood up
174
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:56.519
and made her way over to the pen. But when
175
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.440
she pushed open the wooden door, she found only the
176
00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:04.819
soft hay inside and not a single sheep snuggled up
177
00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:10.339
in it. Little Bo Peep paused and thought for a moment.
178
00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:17.730
If I know my sheep, I suspect Bellwether may have
179
00:17:17.789 --> 00:17:22.140
had something to do with this. She gave a small
180
00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:27.279
smile as she knew they would be safe. He is
181
00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:32.279
a very curious sheep, but he's a good leader too.
182
00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:37.460
Little Bo Peep began to walk in the direction of
183
00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:42.329
the forest to look for her flock. If I see
184
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:46.150
anyone along the way, I can ask if they've seen
185
00:17:46.190 --> 00:17:51.089
my sheep. She was confident. that someone would have seen them.
186
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:56.099
There were quite a lot of them, after all. But
187
00:17:56.339 --> 00:18:02.519
as she walked, the path was quiet. No people, no animals.
188
00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:10.190
It seemed everyone else had already gone to bed. Just
189
00:18:10.289 --> 00:18:13.789
as she reached the edge of the forest, she spotted
190
00:18:13.829 --> 00:18:18.910
a crow perched on a branch, pecking at a little
191
00:18:19.069 --> 00:18:27.589
midnight snack. Excuse me, said Little Bo Peep politely. Have
192
00:18:27.650 --> 00:18:32.450
you seen a flock of sheep pass by? The crow
193
00:18:32.779 --> 00:18:39.859
looked up. No, I haven't, he replied. But the magical
194
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.079
owl deeper in the forest might have. She sees everything.
195
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.180
Follow this path. Then turn right at a smaller gate.
196
00:18:52.539 --> 00:18:56.839
Keep walking to where the trees grow close together and
197
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.180
you'll find her there. Thank you, said Little Bo Peep.
198
00:19:04.339 --> 00:19:07.720
She followed the path just as the crow had said
199
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.440
and there, perched on a purple bush in front of her,
200
00:19:12.859 --> 00:19:18.900
was an owl. At first she looked like any other owl.
201
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:24.619
But when Bo Peep looked a little closer, she noticed
202
00:19:24.809 --> 00:19:29.210
a soft shimmer in her feathers and eyes that seemed
203
00:19:29.250 --> 00:19:35.809
to glow just a little brighter than usual. Hello, said
204
00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:39.910
little Bo Peep. I don't suppose you've seen my sheep?
205
00:19:41.349 --> 00:19:47.519
The owl gave a knowing blink. As a matter of fact,
206
00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:53.140
I did. They even tried to hide from me behind
207
00:19:53.220 --> 00:20:00.720
a tree. They're a curious little flock. Little Bo Peep smiled.
208
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:09.029
That sounded like her sheep. Where are they now? she asked. Come,
209
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:16.789
I'll show you, the owl replied kindly. The owl led
210
00:20:16.890 --> 00:20:21.450
her through the forest and Little Bo Peep noticed they
211
00:20:21.490 --> 00:20:27.849
were following a rather particular sweet smell. They turned a
212
00:20:27.890 --> 00:20:34.910
corner and Little Bo Peep stopped in amazement. I never
213
00:20:35.049 --> 00:20:39.619
knew this was here, she said. as she laid eyes
214
00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:46.289
on the rock pool. Most don't, said the owl. Only
215
00:20:46.369 --> 00:20:53.690
the curious ones find it. Little Bo Peep nodded. That
216
00:20:53.869 --> 00:21:00.890
does sound like bellwether. She looked across the pool, and
217
00:21:01.009 --> 00:21:07.880
there they were, her sheep all fast asleep. Some were
218
00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:13.980
wrapped warmly in towels, some had cooling cucumber over their eyes,
219
00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:20.220
and others had little rollers in their wool. Bellwether was
220
00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:25.589
stretched out on a lounger, his chest rising and falling
221
00:21:26.289 --> 00:21:33.130
in a slow, steady rhythm. Little Bo Peep smiled to herself.
222
00:21:34.490 --> 00:21:41.630
They've made themselves beautiful. Quite at home, she whispered. The
223
00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:46.289
sheep looked so peaceful and she didn't want to wake them.
224
00:21:47.490 --> 00:21:53.170
So instead, she found the last empty lounger and lay down.
225
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:59.559
The warmth of the pool brushed against her face. The
226
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:06.589
waterfall flowed in a steady rhythm. The air smelled calm
227
00:22:06.789 --> 00:22:11.750
and sweet and made her shoulders drop without her noticing.
228
00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:19.640
The towel beneath her felt thick and cozy. She pulled
229
00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:24.839
it gently over herself like a blanket and rested her
230
00:22:24.900 --> 00:22:30.799
head back. Little Bo Peep let out a slow breath.
231
00:22:31.710 --> 00:22:37.589
and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Her thoughts of
232
00:22:37.710 --> 00:22:44.380
searching and wondering for her sheep drifted slowly away, like
233
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:52.259
leaves on a quiet stream. Her breathing slowed even more,
234
00:22:53.500 --> 00:23:05.980
in and out, in and out. She sank deeper into
235
00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:14.180
the lounger, wrapped in warmth and stillness. And soon, little
236
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:24.609
Bo Peep was fast asleep, resting beside her flock. All together, safe,
237
00:23:25.269 --> 00:23:33.609
cosy and dreaming under the quiet night. Rest now, little one,
238
00:23:33.789 --> 00:23:40.000
be still. Let the moonlight gently fill. All around you,
239
00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:45.839
soft and calm. You are safe, you are warm. What
240
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:50.680
a big day, full of play. Now it's time to
241
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:58.750
drift away. Playing, laughing, loved so much. Now it's time
242
00:23:59.109 --> 00:24:05.309
for night's soft hushes. Feel your blanket all around, hugging
243
00:24:05.349 --> 00:24:12.279
you without a sound. Pillow soft beneath your head, everything
244
00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:19.900
is safe in bed. Little fingers, little toes, resting soft
245
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:28.500
as daytime goes. Body calm and breathing deep, drifting, drifting
246
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:35.990
off to sleep. Outside now, the night is here. The
247
00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:41.490
koala moon is shining down, her kind eyes watching over you.
248
00:24:42.970 --> 00:24:47.890
The koala moon smiles from the sky. Her warm light
249
00:24:48.150 --> 00:24:54.500
comes through your window like a goodnight kiss. She says, Hello,
250
00:24:54.559 --> 00:25:00.180
little one. You are safe. I am here. I'm watching
251
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.920
over you. Her moonlight comes closer. It fills your room
252
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:13.750
with sleepy calm. It touches your hand, your arm, your heart.
253
00:25:14.690 --> 00:25:20.829
Warm like a dream. You are safe. You are calm.
254
00:25:21.670 --> 00:25:27.700
You are loved. The moonlight touches your fingers, your toes.
255
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:36.170
Everything feels warm. Everything feels light. Like the softest cloud.
256
00:25:38.009 --> 00:25:44.529
Your eyes are so heavy now. So sleepy. They want
257
00:25:44.670 --> 00:25:51.880
to stay closed. That's just right. You are gentle. You
258
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:59.380
are kind. You are loved. The koala moon begins to hum.
259
00:26:00.309 --> 00:26:05.650
A soft Sleepy sound, like a lullaby in the air.
260
00:26:06.809 --> 00:26:12.009
She hums as you breathe. She hums as you drift.
261
00:26:13.089 --> 00:26:24.490
She hums you to sleep. Drifting, drifting softly away. Drifting
262
00:26:24.549 --> 00:26:29.599
through dreams at the end of the day. Floating on
263
00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:38.609
clouds so peaceful, so deep. Drifting and dreaming, falling asleep.
264
00:26:41.230 --> 00:26:47.849
The koala moon hums again. You are calm, you are cozy,
265
00:26:48.769 --> 00:26:54.519
you are loved. Your bed is a soft cloud, your
266
00:26:54.559 --> 00:27:01.059
blanket is a gentle sky. It wraps all around you,
267
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:08.839
holding you close. Warm and cozy, like a hug all
268
00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:14.490
night long. The koala moon tucks you in with her
269
00:27:14.569 --> 00:27:21.269
light and your bed feels so cozy and warm. Outside,
270
00:27:21.390 --> 00:27:28.970
the world is resting too. Everything is quiet now. So peaceful,
271
00:27:29.549 --> 00:27:43.599
so still. The trees are swaying, soft and slow. The
272
00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:50.859
flowers are sleeping. The grass is still. The night is quiet.
273
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:59.599
The koala moon is up high, watching over everything. Everyone
274
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:05.079
who loves you is resting too. Your family, your friends,
275
00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:12.539
the animals, the trees. All are peaceful. All are kind.
276
00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:19.619
The love that holds you holds them too. The koala
277
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:25.160
moon shines for everyone. You are part of that love.
278
00:28:26.109 --> 00:28:30.750
You are part of the world. The world is gentle.
279
00:28:31.690 --> 00:28:39.309
The world is kind. Your shoulders are soft. Your neck
280
00:28:40.150 --> 00:28:48.799
is soft. Your whole body is sinking down, down, down
281
00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:57.440
into your cozy bed. You are safe. You are loved.
282
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:05.359
You are wonderful just the way you are. The koala
283
00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:11.579
moon glows a little brighter. She whispers, let's count some
284
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:19.759
sleepy things. One soft blanket, warm and cozy. Two little
285
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:26.529
feet tucked in tight. Three tiny dreams waiting for you.
286
00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:35.289
Four sleepy koalas in a tree. Five gentle stars saying,
287
00:29:36.230 --> 00:29:45.019
you are loved. the koala moon's light swirls slowly, drawing
288
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:52.089
shapes in the dark, a heart, a cloud, a little
289
00:29:52.410 --> 00:30:02.769
sleeping koala, each shape glows so And golden. Then drifts away.
290
00:30:03.950 --> 00:30:12.140
Just like you. Drifting into dreams. You are so peaceful now.
291
00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:24.119
So quiet. So still. Drifting. Drifting softly away. Drifting through
292
00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:29.549
dreams at the end of the day. Floating on clouds,
293
00:30:30.230 --> 00:30:41.400
so peaceful, so deep. Drifting and dreaming, falling asleep. Your
294
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.410
arms are heavy, resting by your side. Your legs are still,
295
00:30:48.089 --> 00:30:54.009
long and comfortable. Your eyes are closed, they want to
296
00:30:54.069 --> 00:31:03.500
stay closed too. Everything is safe now. Everything is cozy.
297
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:09.380
The koala moon is still high in the sky above you.
298
00:31:10.380 --> 00:31:17.869
Her glow is soft, warm, sleepy. She's watching over you
299
00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:26.599
like a grandmother, like a friend. She whispers. The trees
300
00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:33.319
are sleeping. So are you. The flowers are sleeping. The
301
00:31:33.380 --> 00:31:39.349
sky is too. I'm resting up here in the night.
302
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:48.190
And you are sleeping, little one. Sleep tight. The world
303
00:31:48.269 --> 00:31:54.599
is quiet now. All is well. Your heart is calm.
304
00:31:55.480 --> 00:32:03.480
Your body is warm. Your mind is peaceful. You are safe.
305
00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:11.980
You are loved. You are home. Sleep now, little one.
306
00:32:13.140 --> 00:32:22.849
Sleep softly. Sleep deeply. Sleep peacefully. The koala moon is
307
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:28.869
watching over you. The night is holding you close. The
308
00:32:28.930 --> 00:32:36.779
world is gentle. You are gentle too. The world is kind.
309
00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:46.049
You are kind too. The world is loved. You are
310
00:32:46.130 --> 00:32:53.630
loved too. May your dreams always be sweet under the
311
00:32:53.670 --> 00:35:41.750
koala moon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
