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.

Today’s task for the construction crew is to build a train tunnel, but there are trees in the area. How will they get their job done while taking care of the trees?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story “Something Nice” and this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “The Train Tunnel” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:24
Narrator: Female
The Train Tunnel Excerpt:
Then the Contractor walked out to the construction crew. “OK everyone.” He paused. “We have an important job today. We’re responsible for making a tunnel for the new train. It’s going to go under the forest. While we work, we need to take care and watch for the forest animals, it’s their home. Ellie, you will be in charge of digging a trench. Take your time. We want to be safe. Danny, I want you to haul away the dirt Ellie is digging. Then you’ll bring gravel back to the trench. Ellie will help spread the gravel out. Ronald and Dizzy we’ll call you when we’re ready for you. Ronald, we’ll need your help, packing the gravel in nice and tight for a solid foundation. And Dizzy, you will pour the concrete when the forms are ready. Let’s make sure it stays nicely mixed. You can both wait here until we’re ready. This project may take a few days so we need to be patient. Any questions? This is going to be a fantastic tunnel! OK! Let’s go!”
With that, the team drove out to their site and got right to work. Ellie noticed that the trees lined both sides of the area, and knew she would need to be careful of their roots. Ellie looked at the posts telling her where she should dig and then up at the trees. It seemed like the posts were a safe distance from the trees. Still, Ellie wanted to be careful. The little excavator knew some of those oaks were over 100 years old, and she wanted to protect them.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story “Cheerful Chat” this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Dragon Train” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:32
Narrator: Female
Dragon Train Excerpt:
With a determined look the dragon stepped outside the cave. Tonight, the dragon was going to find out what the train did. A soft Hmmm filled the air and the dragon new the train was arriving. So, the dragon extended its wings and caught the wind, gracefully lifting up off the ground. Once again, the dragon followed the train to the beach. Following the train as it continued on past the beach, the dragon waved at Paula the blue penguin, and Benji the bucket. Then the train began to slow down, more and more until it stopped. The dragon also glided to a stop, hovering above the train, and closely observing.
There was a whoosh sound, and people began to pour out of the train. The dragon looked to see where they were coming from, and noticed the train had doors on each segment. Once some people were off, more people stepped on. The curious dragon grew excited as the train began to humm again. Then slowly it started to move. As the train rolled along the air grew colder, and the land looked white. The train tracks began to slope down, until the track sat right on top of the land, no longer elevated.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Roly the robot want to learn more but first she needs to be able to talk to Billy and Emily. Roly is looking forward to having a cheerful chat!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:13
Narrator: Female
Cheerful Chat Excerpt:
At that moment the kids hurried back to the table. They seemed to have a plan. Roly listened intently as Emily picked up the tablet smiling. Billy smiled too as he placed his favorite green train down in front of the robot. Roly felt a cozy warmth fill her head as she heard. “This is a toy train.”
“Interesting…” she thought absorbing every detail of the item in front of her. Billy moved the train across the table from them. Then the robot felt warmth fill her head again, as she heard the tablet whisper “Move to the train.”
The little robot rolled over to the train. Then she decided to see if the tablet would deliver a message from her to Billy and Emily.
Roly thought about what she would like to say. Once she had decided, the little robot thought about how the tablet communicated with her. Roly had noticed a friendly warmth in her head just before she heard the tablet speak. Roly wondered if that was how they communicated.

Zara the kitten wakes up to find Dylan is gone. Knowing the duck likes to swim in a little pond, Zara searches the house. Where will she find her friend?
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:42
Narrator: Female
Little Pond Excerpt:
A gentle breeze circled the couch ruffling the little cat’s fur. Zara the kitten stretched and slowly opened her eyes. She purred happily, refreshed from her nap. Then the happy kitten turned to her friend Dylan the duck, who had been resting next to her. Surprisingly, the little duck was gone. Zara meowed, quietly calling Dylan. Then the kitten listened very carefully for quacking. She waited patiently but didn’t hear a peep. Zara sat up tall and meowed again. This time, when she didn’t hear a response, the little kitten leapt up to the back of the couch to search the entire family room. Zara knew this game. They were playing hide and seek! There was no sign of her fuzzy friend in here. Zara bounced from the couch to the chair and onto the floor. She felt sure Dylan must have waddled off to one of his favorite spots.
The kitty hurried over to their food dishes thinking the little duck may have wanted a snack. Even before reaching their dishes she could see Dylan wasn’t there. Zara licked her lips at the sight of food and decided she would have a quick bite while she thought about where to look next.
