0:06 [SPEAKER_00]: Hello, Away Islanders. [SPEAKER_00]: We're so glad you're here. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see if you have everything you want to be calm on Away Island. [SPEAKER_00]: Are the lights in your room dim or off? [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have your favorite blanket or listening buddy? [SPEAKER_00]: Before we begin our story, let's relax by taking a nice deep dragon breath.

0:44 [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in through your nose, filling up your lungs, and then out through your mouth, imagining you are breathing fire like a dragon. [SPEAKER_00]: Ready? [SPEAKER_00]: Deep breath in and out. [SPEAKER_00]: Good job. [SPEAKER_00]: Today, we're going to relax our entire bodies. [SPEAKER_00]: First, wiggle all your toes and then squeeze your toes together and relax them.

1:37 [SPEAKER_00]: Then lift your leg up just a little. [SPEAKER_00]: and let it float down. [SPEAKER_00]: Now lift your other leg just a little. [SPEAKER_00]: And let it float down. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's take another deep dragon breath in and out. [SPEAKER_00]: Next, squeeze both your hands into tight fists and then release them.

2:28 [SPEAKER_00]: As you relax your hands, reach your arms around your chest and give yourself a big hug [SPEAKER_00]: Now, make a very grumpy face, squeeze your eyes shut, squinch up your mouth and hold that grumpy face, and let it go. [SPEAKER_00]: Now your whole body is relaxed. [SPEAKER_00]: So let's take one final, deep, dragon breath, [SPEAKER_00]: great job everyone.

3:30 [SPEAKER_00]: I hope you are tucked in nice and cozy. [SPEAKER_00]: We're ready to begin our story. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's be calm on our way island. [SPEAKER_01]: Our story today is frog concert. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando Frog hopped from Lilypad to Lilypad in excitement. [SPEAKER_01]: He had a wonderful idea.

4:04 [SPEAKER_01]: He bounced across the pond, sending little ripples over the water each time his feet landed. [SPEAKER_01]: This was going to be a fantastic evening. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando had defined Felicity and Frenetta Frog and asked for their help. [SPEAKER_01]: Frenando found his Frog friends on the other side of the pond, sitting among the reads.

4:29 [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone, I would like to give a concert tonight, who you sing with me, he called, Of course, Frenetta said cheerfully. [SPEAKER_01]: Great idea said Felicity with a big smile. [SPEAKER_01]: I think we should sing our special, good night, good night, relaxing song, for Nando suggested. [SPEAKER_01]: Then everyone can go home feeling peaceful and ready for pleasant dreams.

5:01 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, agreed, Felicity added. [SPEAKER_01]: We'd need a little practice, said for Neta. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando nodded. [SPEAKER_01]: But first, we need to invite everyone. [SPEAKER_01]: The three frogs looked at one another eagerly. [SPEAKER_01]: They decided to split up so they could spread the news quickly.

5:23 [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando hopped away from the pond and found Abbey chipunk gathering nuts beneath a tall oak tree. [SPEAKER_01]: Hello Abbey, Fernando called. [SPEAKER_01]: We frogs are giving a concert tonight at sunset. [SPEAKER_01]: Would you like to come? [SPEAKER_01]: A concert? [SPEAKER_01]: Abbey asked smiling brightly.

5:44 [SPEAKER_01]: I would love to hear you sing. [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for inviting me. [SPEAKER_01]: Please tell anyone else you see for Nando added. [SPEAKER_01]: I will be promised. [SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, Felicity hopped through the grass until she heard the cheerful song of Carrie Cartel in the branches above.

6:06 [SPEAKER_01]: Hi, Carrie, Felicity called, we're giving a concert at the pond tonight at Sunset. [SPEAKER_01]: Will you come? [SPEAKER_01]: Carrie flooded down to a lower branch. [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't miss it, she said. [SPEAKER_01]: I'll spread the news. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando found Babette Bonnie playing in a grassy clearing.

6:30 [SPEAKER_01]: Babette was hopping in circles and giggling each time her long ears bounced. [SPEAKER_01]: Babette, for not a cold. [SPEAKER_01]: Would you like to come to a frog concert tonight? [SPEAKER_01]: Babette stopped bouncing and thumbed her foot excitedly. [SPEAKER_01]: I'll take that as a yes, bring that a set with a laugh.

6:52 [SPEAKER_01]: Please invite ballet bunny too. [SPEAKER_01]: Bebette thumbed her foot again in agreement. [SPEAKER_01]: The three frogs soon returned to the pond. [SPEAKER_01]: They were pleased that their friends had promised to help spread the word. [SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be a wonderful concert for Nando said.

7:14 [SPEAKER_01]: the frogs gathered together on the lily pads and began practicing their special song. [SPEAKER_01]: Their voices rose over the pond, blending with the rustling reeds and the gentle swish of water. [SPEAKER_01]: After they sang good night, good night, for net a spoke up. [SPEAKER_01]: What if the audience wants to hear more than one song?

7:38 [SPEAKER_01]: She asked thoughtfully. [SPEAKER_01]: We should probably have another song prepared, Justin Case, Felicity Suggested. [SPEAKER_01]: Smart Idea for Nando Agreed. [SPEAKER_01]: Soon the frogs were practicing all their favorite songs. [SPEAKER_01]: From, thank you, son and moon, to hello butterfly, to welcome friends.

8:05 [SPEAKER_01]: They also continued to practice their special, good night, good night song. [SPEAKER_01]: After deciding that it would be the final song in their concert. [SPEAKER_01]: The three frogs were very excited. [SPEAKER_01]: For Neda had another idea to make their concert even more entertaining.

8:25 [SPEAKER_01]: What if we did a dance where we hopped on the Lily Pads in rhythm? [SPEAKER_01]: She suggested, perhaps the fireflies could illuminate our dancing. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I like that idea. [SPEAKER_01]: The Licity said, let's ask them as soon as they wake up from their midday nap. [SPEAKER_01]: The three frog friends continued to rehearse, adding in their dancing, hopping back and forth from Lilypad to Lilypad in time with their songs.

8:59 [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes two frogs landed on the same Lilypad, and bumped into one another, or hopped too far and landed in the pond with a splash. [SPEAKER_01]: Each time the frogs laughed and began again. [SPEAKER_01]: After a while, Felicity paused and fanned her face with one webbed foot. [SPEAKER_01]: It sure is getting warm, she said.

9:25 [SPEAKER_01]: Could we take a break and relax in the cool water for a bit? [SPEAKER_01]: Sure, said Fernando. [SPEAKER_01]: We've practiced a lot. [SPEAKER_01]: We're ready. [SPEAKER_01]: Now is a good time to rest before our performance. [SPEAKER_01]: the three frogs hopped into the shallow water among the cool weeds.

9:47 [SPEAKER_01]: The water felt refreshing against their warm green skin. [SPEAKER_01]: They settled beneath the tall plants until only their round eyes and little nostrils peaked above the surface. [SPEAKER_01]: Together they took a deep dragon breath in and out [SPEAKER_01]: and one by one fell asleep as a peaceful breeze gently wrestled in the trees above.

10:30 [SPEAKER_01]: After a long time, Fernando woke up. [SPEAKER_01]: The sun was beginning to set. [SPEAKER_01]: It was time for the concert. [SPEAKER_01]: the frogs woke up. [SPEAKER_01]: They had all been sleeping very soundly. [SPEAKER_01]: When they hopped out from amongst the reeds and onto their lily pads, to their surprise, there was thunderous applause.

11:03 [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone was there waiting for them to sing. [SPEAKER_01]: True to their word, their friends had invited many guests. [SPEAKER_01]: Alanzo the sea at her had come all the way from the other side of the island. [SPEAKER_01]: Bebette Bunny had indeed brought ballet with her. [SPEAKER_01]: Caden Camillian was there, as well as Carrie Cardinal.

11:26 [SPEAKER_01]: Abby Chipmunk was chatting away with Chelsea Chipmunk and her babies. [SPEAKER_01]: Deena Deer stood in the back amongst the trees. [SPEAKER_01]: Diana Duck sat on the edge of the water, having a drink as she waited. [SPEAKER_01]: George the Turtle also sat near the front, munching on some grass.

11:46 [SPEAKER_01]: Hope Honeybee buzzed around with anticipation. [SPEAKER_01]: Peanut Squirrel ran around between all the animals, too excited to sit still. [SPEAKER_01]: Well Petunia possums set perfectly still as she waited. [SPEAKER_01]: Rebel, Riley, and Rob the raccoon sat together off to the side. [SPEAKER_01]: Skyler's skunk was barely visible in the dusk, except for that magnificent white stripe down his back.

12:15 [SPEAKER_01]: Tanner and Tant the Toads sat along the water's edge too, and in the middle of everyone was dragon, smiling broadly. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando looked around in amazement. [SPEAKER_01]: Their friends had spread the news throughout the forest. [SPEAKER_01]: So many animals had come to hear the frog sing.

12:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Quickly, Fernando whispered to the fireflies. [SPEAKER_01]: When we began to dance, would you light up the sky? [SPEAKER_01]: The fireflies blinked their lights in an enthusiastic yes. [SPEAKER_01]: And with that, it was time to begin. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando, Felicity, and Fernando opened the concert with the song, welcome friends.

13:06 [SPEAKER_01]: They sang in beautiful harmony, and when the song was finished, the animals applauded and [SPEAKER_01]: Next was Hello Butterfly, and during the song, they hopped from Lilypad to Lilypad to mimic the dance of the butterfly, as the fireflies illuminated the sky above them. [SPEAKER_01]: Once more, they received thunderous applause.

13:34 [SPEAKER_01]: During thank you, Sun and Moon, they encouraged all the animals to sing along, [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone was filled with gratitude, for the beautiful world they had to live in on Awe Island. [SPEAKER_01]: And for the sun and moon for making both day and night, so wonderful. [SPEAKER_01]: The three frogs closed the concert with their soothing, good night, good night song.

14:13 [SPEAKER_01]: the animals sleepily headed off to their homes, filled with happiness after the night of beautiful music and dancing from the frogs. [SPEAKER_01]: Great job, great job for Nando complimented his friends. [SPEAKER_01]: It had been such a wonderful evening, and now it was time to rest. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando Yandabeghi before huddling up with Franetta and Felicity.

14:49 [SPEAKER_01]: As he settled in, he imagined what songs they might sing for their next concert. [SPEAKER_01]: Again, Fernando Yandabeghi. [SPEAKER_01]: Feeling pleased, their concert had gone so well, and that so many animals had attended. [SPEAKER_01]: Then he took a deep dragon breath in and out, and thought of all he had to be grateful [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando felt grateful for Felicity and Franetta, his good friends.

15:44 [SPEAKER_01]: He felt grateful for being able to sing about the beautiful world they lived in. [SPEAKER_01]: Most of all, Franando felt grateful for all the animals on Awe Island that they could [SPEAKER_01]: taking another deep, dragon breath in and out. [SPEAKER_01]: Fernando snuggled in closer to Franeta and Felicity and relaxed.

16:30 [SPEAKER_01]: Wishing everyone peace and happiness. [SPEAKER_01]: taking one more deep dragon breath in and out. [SPEAKER_01]: He drifted off to sleep, dreaming of their next frog concert, and the beautiful music they would make together. [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for joining us to be calm on our way island.
