Betty Bunny’s morning routine is a little different today. What could her special Human friend Max be doing?
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:53
Narrator: Male
Bunny Playground Excerpt:
Betty Bunny woke up slowly. She yawned. She lifted her head and looked out the nearby window. It was cloudy and a little windy outside. Betty Bunny thought to herself, “Maybe the sun wanted to stay in bed today. I hope it feels OK!”
The little bunny stood up on her hind legs to see if she could see any glimpse of a sunbeam. Suddenly, the clouds moved apart, pushed by the wind, and a little glimmer of sun flickered down and kissed Betty Bunny on the nose.
“Oh good! My sunshine was just resting!” Betty thought, smiling.
Feeling grateful for the bit of sun, Betty went back to quietly eating her hay. The hay was delicious and she was happy to have it, but she usually ate fresh parsley for breakfast and she wondered why she hadn’t gotten any parsley yet today. She also wondered why Max, her special Human friend, hadn’t played with her yet. Something seemed different today.

Manny the motor boat gently tows people behind on a tube. Everyone is excited for their boating adventures!
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Boating Adventures” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Forest Friends Excerpt:
Manny gently tugged the tube out into the lake, noticing how well the person held on. When the little motorboat was sure the person was comfortable, he went a little bit faster. There was a shriek of delight as Manny’s speed increased a little bit more. All the people in the boat turned to watch their friend hanging onto the tube. Everything seemed pretty safe so the little motorboat went a tiny bit faster, …then faster, …and even faster still. Now everyone in the boat was cheering, encouraging their friend to hang on! Manny smiled as he heard the laughter and supportive yells. Everyone was having a great time. Ahead Manny spotted some waves made by a larger boat. With a mischievous grin, the little motor boat decided to cross the waves. He went up and down rolling over the top of the swells. The people in the boat laughed as they gently rolled, watching the person on the tube. The tube had bounced up and landed on the lake, and that person laughed and laughed. Manny smiled, glad everyone was having such fun, and slowed down a bit. He knew it was harder to hold on when you are laughing so hard. In fact, it sounded like the people wanted to switch tube riders. Usually when the little motorboat took the people out they took turns on the tube, so he was prepared for a change.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

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.

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.
