Students at Ahway Island Middle school visit Frankie Fire Engine at the Ahway Island Fire Station.
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 4:05
Fabulous Fire Engine Excerpt:
Frankie the Fire Engine was excited. Today was a very special day, a special day indeed! Today was the day that the school kids from Ahway Island Middle School were coming to the Ahway Island Fire Station.
They would get to take a tour of the Fire Station and meet Frankie! Frankie just loved all the kids and he loved his job protecting them and helping them feel safe.
Early in the morning, the entire crew of firefighters on duty opened the garage door to the Fire Station and brought Frankie outside on the driveway. They were going to give him a bath to make sure he was shiny and sparkling clean for all the kids.
First, they took out the hose and sprayed Frankie with fresh clean water. It was already getting hot outside and the cool water felt good to Frankie. They sprayed Frankie from front to back until he was thoroughly wet. Then with big scrub brushes and soapy water, they scrubbed every inch of Frankie from top to bottom.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Rogelio and his dad have a fun day playing miniature golf with Helen and Brianna.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 4:45
Mini-Golf Adventure Excerpt:
Rogelio munched his breakfast with excitement. Today was going to be a fun day. Rogelio’s Dad was going to take him and his best friends, Brianna and Helen, to play a game called miniature golf.
The goal of the game was to hit a brightly colored golf ball into a hole by tapping it as few times as possible with a golf club called a “putter.” Each hole had a different theme. Whoever took the fewest strokes to get the golf ball into all the holes was the winner.
“Dad, what color ball do you think I’ll get?” Rogelio asked.
“I don’t know, Ro.” Dad replied, using Rogelio’s nickname, “Ro.”
Rogelio loved it when his Dad called him by his nickname. It made him feel special.
“I think mine will be orange.” Rogelio guessed.
Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine you are a baby penguin snuggled close to its papa.

Mia and Max have a treasure hunt – and Max is helping Mia practice her reading!
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:05
Searching for Treasure Excerpt:
Mia knocked on her brother’s bedroom door. Max opened the door a crack, peeked out and when he saw it was Mia, exclaimed, “Not yet, Mia, not yet!”
“How much longer?” Mia asked. She felt like she had been waiting FOREVER, when in fact, she had only been waiting about 15 minutes.
“Soon, probably another 15 minutes.” Max replied, shutting his bedroom door quickly.
Mia sighed and headed towards her bedroom. She picked up her T-Rex and Stegosaurus and pretended to have them play tag on her bookshelf. Soon she had the dinosaurs leaping off a pretend waterfall, swimming to a pretend shore, and hopping on her fire engine to go save the town from a big fire. She was so busy playing make believe that she didn’t realize how fast the time had passed. Before she knew it, Max appeared in her doorway.
“Ok, Mia, it’s ready!” he exclaimed with excitement.
“It is?” Mia replied, dropping her dinosaurs.
“Yes!” Said Max. “You can begin.”
“How do I get started? Mia asked.
“Here, look at this.” Max said as he handed Mia a piece of colored paper folded in half with a big number 1 on the outside. “This is your first clue in the treasure hunt!” Max explained. “That’s why it’s numbered one. Unfold the paper and read the clue, and that will tell you where to find the next clue!”
“Ok!” Mia exclaimed. She was very excited to do a treasure hunt but also nervous about having to read the clues. She was just learning how to read and wasn’t sure how to sound out all the words yet.
Max was excited for his little sister and hopeful he had created the treasure hunt the right way. This was his first time creating a treasure hunt. Their mom had created ones for him, when he was Mia’s age, to help him learn to read, and now it was his turn to help Mia in the same way.
Today’s Meditation: Today, notice loving energy flowing through your body, from your feet up to your head.

It’s a beautiful day and Hazen Hawk enjoys the scenery during a peaceful flight around Ahway Island.
Narrator: Male
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:16
A Beautiful Flight Excerpt:
It was a calm morning. The sun’s light was softened by the blanket of clouds covering the sky. Dew drops speckled the bright green grass, the petals of the white and yellow daisies, and the trees. With a yawn, Hazen Hawk opened his eyes and looked around the branches of the great oak tree in which he had slept so peacefully the night before.
Hazen stretched his wings out, gently brushing the leaves of the tree.
Water droplets fell off the leaves and onto a squirrel sitting below. The squirrel shook his tail, trying to stay dry, and looked up at Hazen, slightly annoyed.
“Uh…Hazen!” called the squirrel! “Excuse me, but…you got water all over me!”
“Oh no, I’m sorry!” replied Hazen, apologetically. “I didn’t mean to! I guess there’s a lot of dew on the trees this morning! My feathers are pretty wet, too. Sorry about that!”
“It’s okay,” said the squirrel with a smile. “I’ll dry off – it’s supposed to get warm out today! Have a nice day flying!”
Today’s Meditation: Feel calm and relaxed as you send kind energy to your heart.

Letitia Ladybug searches for just the right new home!
Narrator: Male
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:16
A Rosy Home Excerpt:
It was a bright sunny day. All the flowers had been excited to open themselves up to the brightness of the day as the warmth of the sun’s rays settled on their petals. Their sweet scents wafted on the breeze, drifting across the fields until they reached the tall stalk of grass on which a little ladybug was sleeping.
Leticia Ladybug had been fast asleep all morning, cozily curled up on the bright green stalk of grass. The stalks had been waving gently in the breeze, back and forth, back and forth. But the breeze strengthened as the morning wore on, and finally, a gust of wind sent the stalk suddenly dipping toward the earth below.
“Oops!” said Letitia in surprise, now fully awakened as she plummeted toward the earth. But a moment later, the gust had blown by and the stalk had righted itself, and was again standing straight and tall. Letitia yawned and stretched her wings. She took a deep Dragon Breath in and out, enjoying the fragrance of the flowers in the air. It was time to start her day!
And it was an important day! Today, Leticia was going to look for a new home. She knew what she was looking for: someplace soft, sturdy, and warm. The best option would be a flower blossom, if she could find just the right one!
Today’s Meditation: Gently sway like the graceful willow tree in today’s meditation.
