Connor the cleaner fish has a conundrum. Sean the shark has a toothache. Connor wonders whether it’s safe to clean the shark’s mouth. What will he do?
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 5:28
Narrator: Male
Connor’s Conundrum Excerpt:
Connor twirled around his home to warm up for his busy day. Then the little cleaner fish zipped out the door. Connor zigged and zagged just outside the coral showing off his bright pink and blue stripes. The shop was open for the day. The little cleaner fish stopped dancing to see what customers were arriving. A large shadow slowly covered Connor and the pink coral. As the large sea creature swam towards Connor, the cleaner fish circled and danced. A spot of white shimmered on the grey fish’s triangular fin. Connor now knew who his first customer was, Sean the shark!

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.
