Sidney Snowplow creates a mountain of snow so the kids can go sledding.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 5:23
A Mountain of Snow Excerpt:
It was a windy and snowy morning on Ahway Island. Sidney Snowplow had just woken up in his cozy garage. He felt well rested and ready to start a busy day of snowplowing! Sidney revved his engine as he waited patiently for his driver to hop in and start their fun snow day together. As his engine warmed up, Sidney enjoyed taking a few minutes by himself to enjoy the quiet morning.
Sidney loved to work in the snow, especially when it was freshly fallen. It was like playing in a pile of sugar all day long! Sidney loved how soft and fluffy snow could be, but he also loved how strong it could be when people built forts or figures out of snow.
After a few minutes Sidney’s driver came out to the garage carrying a hot cup of coffee. The driver opened up the big garage door and took a seat in the driver’s seat. Now they were ready to head out into the snow!

Trenton the tractor has a busy day. The kids are coming back with their parents to share the fun they had on their field trip.
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 “Pumpkin Run” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 5:40
Pumpkin Run Show Excerpt:
Sunlight spilled across the fields, lighting up the golden straw Trenton hauled on his trailer. The tractor smiled. People were coming for a visit today, and Trenton felt excited. The little yellow tractor would take them on a tour of the whole farm. Trenton rolled over to the newly mowed grass, that was now a parking lot, to wait for the people to arrive. As he drove towards the lot the trailer bounced a bit.
Every little bump caused the trailer to bounce, up and down and over to the side. Trenton hoped that when the people sat on it it would be a little more calm, and intended the visitors to have a nice day.
As the little yellow tractor waited he heard a popping sound in the distance. Trenton looked up and saw the first car drive down the gravel driveway. The little stones popped up as the car’s tires picked them up and tossed them aside. The car made its way into the parking lot and stopped.
Parents opened the car door and two little boys hopped out. Each one holding a parent’s hand. Their faces lit up when they saw the tractor and one pointed at Trenton. The family walked over to the tractor as more and more cars drove into the parking lot. The gravel drive popped and popped. Before long there was a line of people waiting to hop onto the trailer behind the Trenton.

Teagan Tugboat learns to appreciate her home with the help of her friend, Izzy Icebreaker.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 4:34
Harbor Happiness Excerpt:
It was early morning and the sun was just rising over the waters of Ahway Island Bay, making the water look as shiny as diamonds. Teagan Tugboat sat at her dock, patiently floating in the water. She was eager to get the day started.
Today, Teagan was going to see her good friend, Izzy Icebreaker! Today was a day off for both of them. They didn’t need to do any of their usual work, so they could just spend the day together and play! They were going to do all kinds of fun things: race in the river, talk about the beautiful places they’ve been, and even visit some of their other friends, like Manny Motorboat.
Then Izzy was going to stay overnight in the empty dock next to Teagan’s dock. Teagan had been waiting for this day for a long time, so she had planned everything out. All she had to do was wait for Izzy and the day could begin!

Bobby the Bus is excited. Today he gets to take the kids on a field trip. Where will they go?
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 “Field Trip!” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:38
Field Trip! Show Excerpt:
Sunshine streamed through the colorful trees. As Bobby the Bus waited patiently, he admired how the trees had changed from shades of green into red, orange, and gold. The enchanted forest looked stunning and the school bus wished he could travel into it to see what was there. The bus began to imagine the magical animals living in the forest. Maybe there was a dragon. The school bus smiled at the thought of a mysterious dragon living in the forest. Then he decided he should review his schedule.
He hoped that he would be back to the school in time to do his afternoon route. Bobby didn’t want to let any of his regular passengers down. Then laughter and cheering poured out of the school. The kindergartners were coming! Bobby opened his doors and the kids slowly climbed up the great big steps with their little legs.
The dragon was taking its morning walk past the school when a ruckus caught its attention. Ears already turning towards the noise, the dragon stopped and peered out of the forest. The kindergartners were getting on the bus. The puzzled dragon looked up at the sky.
The sun was almost directly above. It was too late for the children to be arriving at school. It was also too early for them to be going home. The dragon wondered where they were going? Wherever it was, they certainly seemed excited.
Today’s Meditation: Today, enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.

Vinnie Scooter helps out a new friend as he delivers pizza to people on Ahway Island.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 4:54
Pizza Delivery! Excerpt:
Vinnie was a little electric scooter who lived on Ahway Island with Flavio, the town pizza maker. Vinnie was a shiny, bright red color, very stylish and sleek, and when he drove fast, his engine made a buzzing sound that reminded people of the sound of a buzzy bee.
Vinnie loved whizzing around the roads of Ahway Island. He especially loved a ride through town, where Vinnie could see what everyone was up to on Ahway Island.
When Flavio wasn’t working, he would take Vinnie on long rides. They’d start off in the center of town and end up driving along the Shore Road that hugged the southern coastline of Ahway Island!

Bodhi the Beach Buggy is in his first car show. He’s excited to make some new friends!
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 “The Beach Buggy Show” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:19
The Beach Buggy Show Excerpt:
It was early morning. Stars still twinkled in the sky, and the moon shined brightly.
Bodhi the Beach Buggy was awake and enjoying the peace. Today was the day for the Beach Buggy Show, and he felt excited. His driver had been getting the little beach buggy ready for days, and Bodhi was ready. The moon reflected off of his sparkling blue hood. He felt prepared for anything. The sun peeked over the horizon, and slowly the world filled with light.
The beach buggy started to think about all that might happen, and began to feel impatient to get going, nervous about how he would do at the show, and hopeful about who he might meet. Bodhi took a deep dragon breath in and out and let those thoughts go. He took another deep breath in and out and decided to enjoy each moment of this wonderful day. As the little beach buggy took one more deep dragon breath in and out he smiled as he watched the colorful sunrise.
Once the sun was up, Bodhi’s driver came outside and patted him on the hood, asking “Are you ready?” with a smile.
Bodhi’s engine rumbled with a “Yes!” as his driver turned the key, and away they went to the beach buggy show.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
