Dragon notices the forest animals shivering and uses dragon fire to create a cozy campfire outside of the cave for everyone to share.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:17
Narrator: Male
Dragon Fire Excerpt:
Dragon smiled at the animals, and took a deep breath in and out, (deep breath). Gentle flames flickered out of Dragon’s mouth towards the twigs and leaves. The kindling began to glow as fire rose from them. Flames took off from the twigs running to the branches, and finally they began to settle on the logs. Crackling sounds filled the air as smoke floated up to the sky. The animals had seen the Dragon fire before but wondered what this was. Then they felt the warmth spilling out from the fire on the logs. They stopped huddling together. The raccoons left their partially made shelter and scampered over to the fire. They basked in the glow and held their hand out warming them. The bunnies quickly hopped over taking their place around the dancing fire, followed by the squirrels.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

Zara the cat carefully guides her adopted duckling, Dylan, to breakfast. She shows the duckling her most sincere kitten love throughout the day.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:20
Narrator: Male
Kitten Love Excerpt:
Sunlight spilled through the drapes right onto Zara the kitten’s bed. The little kitten stretched her paws out as far as she could. She purred, grateful for the warmth of the morning sun. As Zara purred, Dylan the duckling began to coo. Zara smiled and gently licked the fluffy yellow duckling’s head, grooming his feathers. Dylan hopped up and wobbled out of the cozy cat bed. Zara followed the duckling, grooming Dylan as he waddled away. Then the little kitten stopped grooming. Her little pink tongue stuck out of her mouth as she listened intently to sounds coming from the kitchen. Then Zara heard the little girl call, “Zara, breakfast!”
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Hoping to share Dragon magic with the people, Dragon takes some deep breaths and ponders how to meet people without frightening them.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story “Changing Winds” on Monday. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Today we’re sharing our very first Dragon story! Please enjoy “Dragon Magic!” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 10:50
Narrator: Male
Dragon Magic Excerpt:
Still, the curious dragon wondered why people acted so strangely. A magnificent tail flipped back and forth, back and forth as the little dragon thought and thought. The dragon was bigger than the people. Remembering that the animals had also been afraid at first, the dragon wondered if size was the reason. Then the dragon thought about what had changed, so that the bunnies, deer, birds, frogs, toads, turtles, and bears felt comfortable. The dragon waited patiently and quietly.
Eventually, the animals approached. Once one came near, others felt safe. Oh, that’s right, the animals worried the dragon would eat them. Was that what the people were worried about? Yuck. What a silly thought. A person couldn’t possibly taste as good as roasted brussel sprouts, or roasted carrots, or roasted sweet potatoes; certainly not as good as an apple, orange or banana. Having figured out the source of the fear, the gentle dragon knew waiting patiently was a good idea. Fortunately, the wait was almost over.
Today’s Meditation: Today, you will focus on relaxing your body a little bit at a time. Starting with your feet, moving up to the top of your head, and ending with a focus on your entire body, you are sure to feel calm and relaxed.

Wakely Waverunner heads out to play in the swirling waters of the mouth of the harbor. Between the waves and the boats entering and leaving, Wakely does the wave jump boogie.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story, “Ronald’s Turn”, Monday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Welcome to Favorite Friday! Please enjoy “Wave Jump Boogie” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:04
Narrator: Male
Wave Jump Boogie Excerpt:
The trailer carried Wakely all the way to the lake, and backed down a steep ramp. As he rolled down the ramp, water rose up, from covering the wheels of the trailer, to tickling Wakely’s belly. The water splashed under and around him, and the little wave runner relaxed. His rider released Wakely from the trailer, and he slowly drifted next to the dock. He enjoyed floating. Any worries the little wave runner may have had, drifted away with the waves.
His rider tugged Wakely over and snugged him to the dock. Now the little wave runner waited for his rider to park the truck and trailer. He was very excited to play on the lake, and could hardly wait to get started. All this waiting was difficult, so Wakely took a deep dragon breath in and out (deep breath) and then smiled. The little wave runner realized that waiting gave him some time to just enjoy the sensation of floating. Wakely rocked gently as the water rolled back and forth, back and forth underneath him. The lake seemed pretty calm today.
Wakely was just getting in to the rhythm of the water when his rider returned. His motor rumbled and the little wave runner moved away from the dock. Wakely wanted to zip right out into the lake, but he knew he needed to move slowly in the entrance to the harbor, and watch for other boats. So, he took his time and carefully made his way out to the lake. Once the little wave runner had made it out onto the lake, he turned up his engine and began zipping around in an open area.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.
