Dragon ponders what it would be like to be different things around Ahway Island. Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:33 Unique Dragon Excerpt: Dragon sat quietly, and their mind began to wander. What would it be like to be something other than a dragon? Like a butterfly? Or a bee? It was an interesting thought. After all, being curious about others was one of Dragon’s favorite things. Dragon looked around, eyes drifting across the path and landing on a large mailbox. Someone approached the mailbox, opened the top and slid a letter inside. Dragon wondered what it would be like to be a mailbox, receiving and storing important letters until the postal carrier could pick them up and bring them to the post office. It seemed like being a mailbox would be a lot of fun. Today’s Meditation: Imagine drawing gentle shapes in the soothing sand as you relax before today’s story.

She had been awakened by the rising sun’s first rays falling across her eyes, the sunbeams peeking through one of the windows in the hangar. At first, Hazel just stayed quietly in place, listening to the birds singing outside in the early morning light. She felt peaceful. But as Hazel slowly woke up, she started to remember what today was. Today was the day of her very first flight! Her stomach tightened a little and she swallowed, starting to feel anxious. Now she was wide awake. Yesterday the engineers had finished her construction, and today, she would fly high into the sky for the very first time. Hazel started to feel frightened.

A new sproutling thinks living in the library will be boring, but the wise fern demonstrates how to learn by observing. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:59 Library Lessons Excerpt: “So…what did you observe?” the fern asked. The little sproutling thought for a moment. “Well…I saw that the first girl on the left side of the room believed she could do her assignment, and she’s doing great! But the second girl, on the right side of the room, thinks the assignment is too hard for her, and she got stuck.” “You’re very observant,” the fern whispered back. “The thoughts we think are like the soil we’re planted in. When the soil is rich and strong, we grow tall and healthy. But if the soil is dry and weak, growing is much harder. It’s just the same with the way we speak to ourselves.” Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine you are a baby penguin snuggled close to its papa.

Slowly, the lovely light flowed across the land. Shadows of the bare trees fell across the snowy forest floor. The floor of the cozy cave warmed as sunshine spilled into Dragon’s home and gradually rose up onto Dragon’s mossy bed. The gentle snoring of the little dragon stopped as the sunlight reached Dragon’s eyelids. Dragon blinked and squinted into the morning sun. With a smile, Dragon stretched and sat up. Dragon took a deep dragon breath, in and out, to get ready for a wonderful morning. As Dragon’s feet touched the warm floor, Dragon sighed happily, feeling grateful. The morning sun had already warmed the floor, even though it was a cool winter morning. Dragon stood up and walked back to the cool spring pool in the cave, wanting a refreshing drink of water. Sunshine sparkled on the rippling surface as Dragon scooped up a bit to drink. Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Dharma Dragonfly wants to go to the pond. Bobbi Butterfly wants to go to the garden. Who will Letitia Ladybug go with?

Little dewdrops sparkled like diamonds on the grass, and the neighborhood birds had just begun their cheery songs. Dharma Dragonfly stretched her delicate wings, admiring how well they shimmered in the golden sunlight. The warm breeze felt wonderful as she zipped through the air. Dharma soared past houses and gardens, occasionally doing little loop-de-loops just for fun. As she flew over a quiet yard, Dharma spotted two of her friends. Bobbi Butterfly flitted gracefully from petal to petal in the small flower bed, while Letitia Ladybug lazed about on one of the flower’s broad, green leaves.

When Sidney Snow Plow’s garage door gets stuck, he tries to have fun while waiting. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:59 Patient Plow Excerpt: Sidney the Snow Plow woke up to a loud clunking noise. He blinked sleepily and looked around his cozy garage. Light slipped through the cracks of the big garage door, but something was a bit different. The door wiggled a little, making a thunk, thunk sound, but it wasn’t rolling up like it usually did. Sidney noticed the bottom of the door wasn’t letting any light through. He squinted at the little sliver of white he could see outside. “I wonder if I’ll be going out today,” he thought. Then, he heard Marta, his driver, just outside the door. She sounded a little frustrated. “It’s completely frozen!” Marta said with a sigh. Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.

The wind rustled the leaves of the trees in the forest, and Dragon could hear the faint hum from the sparkling train fading into the distance. The sun would be settling down for the evening soon, and Dragon wanted to do some exploring before nighttime. So, Dragon stepped outside the cave, stretched their wings wide, then leapt into the air. Dragon caught the wind and soared over the forest treetops. Below, the train tracks gleamed in the fading light, winding through the forest and out toward all the areas of Ahway Island. Dragon considered where they should go for this evening’s trip, remembering the beach, and the arctic area, and the mountaintop.

Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Popcorn Surprise,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 8:47 Popcorn Surprise Excerpt: Dragon smiled as the familiar warmth of the morning sun filled the cozy cave. It was time to get up, and the little Dragon felt excited, ready to see what today would bring. With a big stretch Dragon hopped out of bed and folded the colorful blanket up neatly on the mossy rock, so it would be ready for a nice nap later. Then, Dragon walked to the mouth of the cave. An amazing view greeted Dragon. The sky looked painted. Pink, purple, and red reflected off the fluffy clouds as the blue sky brightened with the morning light. Dragon took a deep dragon breath, in and out , enjoying the crisp morning air. Gazing at the sky, Dragon decided to go visit Trenton the Tractor and thank him for his help with the garden.
