Today James and Julia are going to a parade! Julia is a little worried that it will be too loud for her brother. How will James handle the excitement?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our newest story on Monday, “Buried Treasure.” Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “A Parade!” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:26
Narrator: Male
A Parade Excerpt:
A warm breeze ruffled the curtain in James’ bedroom, allowing sunlight to flutter into the room. James opened his eyes and stretched. Then he remembered, today was the parade! He hopped out of bed and got dressed. His sister Julia was already eating her breakfast. She was excited too. James smiled and said, “I can’t wait to see the parade!”
“Me too!” Julia exclaimed! “Do you have earplugs? It might get kind of loud.”
“No, I’ll be fine. I don’t want to look weird.” James said.
“I think you should bring them just in case.” His big sister said gently.
James pretended he hadn’t heard her and asked, “What is your favorite part of the parade?”
Julia stopped mentioning earplugs, and responded. “I love seeing all the people waving from the colorful floats. What’s you’re favorite part?”
James smiled and said. “I love all the different vehicles. Do you think there will be fire trucks?”
“I’m sure there will be some.” Julia said. She decided to pack some extra earplugs just in case her brother became really uncomfortable. They finished their breakfast and walked with their parents to the parade route. As their mom and dad set up their folding chairs in the shade, James found a spot on the curb in front of them. He waved for Julia to join him.
“This is a good spot!” she said grinning ear to ear.

Allie gets ready for treasure hunt with her friends by hiding pirate clues around the park to lead them to the buried treasure.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:01
Narrator: Female
Buried Treasure Excerpt:
As soon as they got to the park Allie looked around, to see if anyone was already there. She wanted to be sure no one saw where she buried the treasure and set the clues. The swings were empty. No one was on the slide or the monkey bars. Even the ball fields were quiet.
There wasn’t a sign of Andy, Helen or Owen. Allie smiled mischievously. First, she would bury the pirate treasure chest. Allie skipped to the sand box and using the sand scooper she dug a hole big enough to fit the chest. Allie set the chest into the open pit and then removed five golden rocks. She gently moved the sand back to cover the top of the closed chest. Soon the sandbox looked as if the sands had never been moved. Allie gently placed one of her golden rocks in the sand above the chest.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

Halle the hummingbird is feeling hungry. She goes searching for sweets among the plants. The little hummingbird sees something red. Will she find a treat?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week, “Best Balance” and “Polite Parrot!” Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Welcome to Favorite Friday! Please enjoy “Searching for Sweets” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 10:06
Narrator: Female
Searching for Sweets Excerpt:
Halle began her search for flowers. She especially enjoyed the nectar of red flowers and hoped she would be able to find some. The little hummingbird hovered in the air, and looked around. She saw lush green grass, and deep green ivy winding around and climbing the trees. There were lots of green plants, but she didn’t see any red flowers. Halle zipped on, zigging and zagging, until she found a garden.
The little hummingbird hovered as she took in the view. The plants were lined up in neat little rows. Halle noticed that the garden had cucumber plants, with little cucumbers resting on the ground, busy growing. There were broccoli plants. Dark green leaves surrounded the round clusters of broccoli. Leafy spinach filled its row, and orange carrots barely peaked out of the ground. The vegetables were beautiful, but Halle needed some nectar to eat.
Just then the little hummingbird spotted something red. She zipped in closer, hoping it was a flower. Halle hovered over the red, her wings moving so quickly they were just a blur. It was a tomato. Halle was disappointed. The little hummingbird took a deep dragon breath in and out (deep breath) and decided to keeping looking for flowers.

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:03
Narrator: Male
Polite Parrot Excerpt:
As the sailboat wondered where Zig-Zag had gone she spotted a bright red bird zig-zagging her way. She smiled and announced to the others in her best pirate voice. “Be ye ready? I spy a scurvy pirate bird on the wind.”
Manny the motorboat followed her gaze to the red bird. Sure enough, there were blue and yellow feathers on the bird’s wings and a tell-tale patch of black feathers over one eye. Manny responded eagerly in his best pirate voice. “Aye! Zig Zag be returning to seek out the lost pirate booty.”
Sandy the sailboat had been teaching all the boats how to speak Pirate ever since Zig-Zag’s last arrival. She giggled as the pirate bird grew closer and asked, “Yarrrr me hearties. Is everyone shipshape and ready for an adventure?”
“Shiver me Timbers.” Teagan the tugboat said. “Be Zig-Zag returning this day?”
Almost in response the pirate parrot landed on Sandy’s bow and said, “Good morning, fine yacht. Would you be able to assist me in the search for my treasure?”
The boats sat silently, surprised at how the pirate parrot’s manners had changed.

Sig the skateboard has the best balance, and waits eagerly to play. But today the skateboard is playing with a new learner. How will they do?
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:00
Narrator: Female
Best Balance Excerpt:
Sig giggled too, ready to play. The girl placed the skateboard on the ground and stepped on, one foot on a yellow-green swirl and the other on a blue-purple one. Sig wobbled back and forth, as the girl balanced herself. Sig began to feel nervous, worrying that the girl might fall off. The skateboard tried her best to hold steady, but as the girl wobbled, so did Sig. Then after one big wobble the girl stumbled off of the skateboard. Sig took a deep dragon breath in and out, (deep breath) as she saw that the girl was ok. The girl took a deep dragon breath in and out, (deep breath) as she readied herself to try the skateboard again.
