Grubby Kitty discovers packing peanuts — and makes a mess! But Dad is very patient.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:18
Narrator: Male
Tumbling Tabby Excerpt:
The afternoon sun poured through the big kitchen window onto the shelf placed under the window. The shelf was covered with some pretty fabric with flowers on it; Mom had put the fabric on the shelf to protect the shelf from scratches, but Grubby Kitty liked to think that she had put it there just for him, because it made a very cozy place to sleep. Grubby Kitty had discovered this wonderful napping location quite recently, and so this afternoon, like every other afternoon for the last two weeks, Grubby was curled up on the fabric, taking a nap in the warmth of the sun.
But suddenly, ding-dong! The front doorbell rang. Grubby woke up with a shake. From the other room, he heard Dad walk to the door, open it, and shout out “thank you!” Grubby was a little startled at first, as he had been deeply asleep and the noise surprised him. But he took a couple of big Dragon Breaths and felt much better. He stretched and yawned. Now he was wide awake and felt like exploring. Who had been at the door?

Marley the monarch caterpillar wakes up and she is hungry. As she is munching her lunch Marley meets a friend. Will there be enough milkweed for both of them?
Narrator: Female
Munching Lunch Excerpt:
Fluffy clouds covered the sky like a thick blanket, as the itty bitty caterpillar stretched and crawled out of the tiny egg. Marley’s tummy grumbled loudly. It was time to eat. The little monarch caterpillar took a little nibble from the bright green leaf. It certainly was yummy! Num, num, num, num, num. Marley nibbled and crunched the milkweed leaf. Slowly a hole developed in the leaf. And still the caterpillar ate and ate. Marley was growing and the milkweed gave her just what she needed.
The tiny caterpillar tried to watch what was happening around her. However, the milkweed was so delicious she lost track of anything but the juicy leaf. Marley nibbled and crunched until “Ow!” she looked up. There was another monarch caterpillar looking at her and rubbing his head with his feet.
“Oh I’m sorry!” Marley said. “I was so busy eating I didn’t notice you. Are you OK?”

Ballet Bunny hops around the forest to find the new spring flowers. She encounters Dragon and kids, who ask Ballet what she’s doing!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:45
Narrator: Female
Fragrant Flowers Excerpt:
Ballet Bunny stretched and hopped out of her nest after a refreshing afternoon nap. She was ready to explore the forest and see what new plants were waking up today. The little bunny loved springtime. Already Ballet had found daffodils, tulips and irises coloring people’s lawns at the edge of the forest. The little bunny stopped cleaning her ears as she heard giggling in the distance and decided she would start today’s adventure by discovering the source of the laughter.
Ballet hopped through trees, bushes, and tall grasses stopping to listen for more giggles. The giggles grew louder and louder, as the little bunny hopped along. Ballet knew she was getting closer. Finally, Ballet hopped into a field of low grasses. She flattened herself down and looked around. As the little bunny scanned the field, she immediately recognized Dragon and sprinted over to her friend.
Today’s Meditation: Today, notice loving energy flowing through your body, from your feet up to your head.

Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Please enjoy “Dragon on Ice” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Dragon follows the train for another adventure. This time it’s Dragon on ice as Dragon explores a mysterious snowy land. Will Dragon make a new friend there?
Narrator: Male
Dragon on Ice Excerpt:
The dragon gently landed on the white snow. Brrrr! It was a bit cold, so the dragon decided to keep moving. As the dragon took a step forward, all of a sudden, both feet slipped and the dragon flipped. Snow flew up as the dragon landed belly side up. Eyes wide from surprise, the dragon took a deep breath in and out and slowly stood back up. This was a cold and slippery place. The dragon extended talons to grip the ice. Slowly and carefully the dragon trudged forward, occasionally slipping. It was a lot of work, and the dragon’s feet were getting cold. Then the dragon had an idea, and leaned over, and took a deep breath in and out, breathing fire on the ground. Maybe that would warm things up. The dragon also wondered what was underneath the ice and snow. With another deep breath in and out the dragon admired how easily the snow and ice melted away.

Tad & Tanner Toad share something nice with the other animals in the forest!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:53
Narrator: Male
Something Nice Excerpt:
Tanner the Toad noticed his friend among the lavender blooms and happily hopped over. Once he reached a spot where Tad could see him, Tanner waved and said, “Good morning, Tad.”
Tad smiled at his friend and after reading the pleasant greeting off of his friend’s lips, he replied, “Morning, Tanner! I’m glad you’re up. It’s such a nice day and I’m glad I can share it with my kindest and most adventurous friend.”
Tanner blushed at the compliment, and then added, “and I am looking forward to another adventure with my best friend. What did you have in mind for today?”
Tad finished reading what Tanner had said, then a twinkle sparkled in his eye as he responded, “I want to share something nice with everyone in the forest!”
Tanner smiled and nodded. He thought Tad’s idea was a good one. The two toads continued hopping along their favorite path. Soon they met a friend. George the Turtle slowly wandered toward the toads.
