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.

Missy the Dog and some of her friends come to the Ahway Island Animal Shelter to find their forever families.
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 3:59
Shelter Pet Parade Excerpt:
Five new arrivals landed at Ahway Island Airport. They were labeled “Handle With Care!” In five special containers were Gilbert the Goldfish, MustardB the Parakeet, Missy the Dog, Kit the Cat, and Larry the Iguana.
On the flight over, the five had been talking. They were all being transferred to Ahway Island Animal Shelter, so that they all find their forever families and be adopted.
At first, they all had felt nervous, not knowing where Ahway Island was or what would happen when they arrived. Missy Dog encouraged all of them to take a deep dragon breath in and out so that they would feel less nervous.
She was grateful they were all together, and she told them she had heard that Ahway Island was a very nice place, with people who loved their pets very much and considered them to be part of the family. And that’s what each shelter pet wanted, a forever family.
The airplane ride had been noisy, but not too long, and after they landed, their carriers were brought off the plane and immediately placed into an air-conditioned van. A man checked on each of them, to make sure they were ok. As he checked each one, he called them by name.

Sparkling Train makes a trip around Ahway Island and meets many friends!
Narrator: Male
Story Start: 4:24
Sparkling Solar Train Excerpt:
The Ahway Island Train sat quietly in its roundhouse, waiting for the day to begin. The moon was still out, reflecting brightly off the trees, and the air was still and peaceful. The sun would not rise for a few more hours, so the Train knew it would be a while before it was time to get going.
As the Train relaxed, it daydreamed about what it might encounter in the upcoming day. Would Dragon be out and about in the enchanted forest, perhaps hanging out with Nutsy and Peanut squirrel?
Or would Dragon be off on adventure with some of the kids? Perhaps Rogelio, Brianna and Helen? If they were on an adventure, would they be at the Ahway Island beach swimming or making a sandcastle?
What about Dylan and Diana Duck? Would they have a nest of ducklings tucked away somewhere? It was that time of year. Perhaps they would have the ducklings practicing swimming in one of the smaller ponds on the island.

Billy and Emily are excited to ride the sparkling train. What will they see?
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 “A Train Ride” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:52
A Train Ride Excerpt:
The doors slid open with a whoosh. Emily and Billy stepped aboard the sparkling train. Their heads turned as they took note of every little detail. Emily had already pointed out the dark blue solar paint on the train twinkling like the stars in the night sky. Billy smiled at his little sister and asked. “Where should we sit?”
“How about right here!” She said, enthusiastically pointing to a seat about halfway through the train. Then she bowed and motioned for her brother to sit by the window.
“Thanks Emily, but you’re shorter than me. So, if you sit by the window, both of us will be able to see.” Billy said.
“OK!” Emily said and slid into her spot. Their parents smiled knowingly at each other and sat down in the seat behind them. Then the train slowly began to roll forward. “We’re moving!” Emily exclaimed.
“Look! We’re going up to the elevated tracks!” Billy said.
“I’m so excited! I better take some deep dragon breaths!” Emily said.
“Me too!” Billy said, and with that they both took a deep breath in and out. “How are you?” Billy asked his little sister. She squealed with excitement “I need another dragon breath!”
“OK, me too!” Billy said through a gigantic smile, and they both took a deep breath in and out.
There was a giggle from their parents as Emily asked her brother “Are you ready now?”
“Let’s take one more deep dragon breath.” He suggested, and they did.
“That’s better.” Emily said still smiling widely. “Oh! Look outside! The forest is beautiful!” It was. The needles on the fir trees fluttered as the train passed. Emily could see sunshine streaming through the branches of the trees decorating the ground like a lace tablecloth.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with warmth and love as you send your loving energy to the world.

Chance the Cardboard box is ready for his next adventure! What will the kids imagine today?
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 “Imagine This!” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:49
Imagine This! Excerpt:
The little kitty purred, happily resting in the cardboard box. Its soft fur tickled Chance and he giggled. The cardboard box felt curious, wondering where the kids’ powerful imaginations would take him today. He heard their laughter growing louder, and guessed he would find out soon.
“Ready for the continuing adventures of the changing cardboard box?” the boy asked his sister.
“I’m ready if you are.” She said. “You get to use your idea first. Since I went first last time.” The box thought that was pretty nice, and wondered what the boy’s idea was.
“OK!” the boy said, “Hop on board the express train.”
“Where are we going?” The little girl asked.
“You’ll see.” The boy replied.
With that the boy and girl hopped into the box. Chance did his best train impersonation as they rolled out of the station. The carpet around him slowly faded away, and Chance could see train tracks lying in front. He heard chug a chug a chug a chug choo choo, and felt the breeze flowing by. Wherever they were headed would be magical. The cardboard box knew that much. Chance was chugging along his track when the magical door appeared in front of him, just as it had before.
“There it is!” The little girl exclaimed.
Today’s Meditation: Rest among the twinkling stars with today’s meditation.
