August 13, 2021 197. BCAI: Forest Explorers: a children’s relaxing story and meditation
Rogelio, Helen, Brianna explore the forest to find Dragon. As they do, they get lots of ideas for their play.

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:43
Forest Explorer Show Excerpt:
Rogelio waited for Brianna and Helen to arrive under the big oak tree. They had been enjoying writing their play together. The story about the dragon was working very well, and the music was sounding great! However, all three were having difficulty forgetting the dragon like animal they had seen peeking out of the forest. Today they were going to explore the edge of the forest. That was as far as their parents thought it was safe to go.

The forest looked very calm and inviting. Maybe they would find the dragon. Then they really would have something to write about.

Whether they found a dragon or not, Rogelio was looking forward to their meeting at the park today. He looked back at the playground and noticed Brianna and Helen walking towards him and waving.

“Are you ready to explore the forest?” Helen asked.

“Do you think we’ll really find a dragon?” Brianna asked.

“We’ll just have to look and see.” Rogelio said, smiling. “Any ideas on where we should start?”

August 09, 2021 522. Shiny Treasuers: a story and meditation for your bedtime routine
Saira Sand Crab meets a new friend, Sandy Seagull, who shares her interest in treasure hunting!
Narrator: Female

Story Begins: 4:25
Shiny Treasures Excerpt:

Saira the Sand Crab was a little crab who loved to dig on her big beach for treasures. The other sand crabs would stay near the water, but Saira was brave and adventurous. She loved to dig for shiny things, things that she couldn’t ever find in the ocean.

Saira loved the things she found – they made her wonder about other creatures and parts of the world that she hadn’t experienced herself yet. Every time she found something, it was like finding a treasure just hiding in the sand for Saira to dig out!

Saira collected all kinds of treasures. From shiny bottle caps to beautiful shells to pretty white feathers, Saira would bring her treasures to the big banana leaf that she called home. The leaf covered a shallow hole she had dug, up on the beach far enough away from the water that tides would never flood it.

At night, Saira would snuggle up under the big banana leaf with her treasures. She would wake up when the sun shone through her leaf and then start her day by digging for breakfast…and for new treasures, of course! concert.

What's Next Show Excerpt:
The kids approached the cardboard box slowly. Although they were ready for another adventure, they could hear the little kitty purring loudly. They peeked inside the box. There was the kitten, sleeping on its back, its fuzzy tummy exposed. The cardboard box could see that the kids were ready to play and wondered what they would do. The little girl reached in and gently rubbed the kitty’s chin.

The little kitty stretched and flipped over. With one more stretch, she hopped out of the box. The cardboard box enjoyed the kitty’s company, now he was ready for another adventure. Chance felt curious, wondering where the kids’ powerful imaginations would take him today. They hopped into the sturdy box.

“Ready for the another adventure in the magnificent cardboard box?” the girl asked her brother.

“Ready!” He said. “Where are we going this time?”

“I don’t really know.” The little girl said. “If you buckle into the spaceship, we can get going and we’ll find out.”

Fernando Frog hopped from lily pad to lily pad in excitement. He had a wonderful idea! He was so excited, for a moment, he didn’t notice a shadow overhead. It was Dragon!

“Hello, Dragon!” Fernando called. “Lovely day, isn’t it?” Dragon smiled at Fernando and nodded enthusiastically.

“Are you busy this evening, right around sunset?” Fernando asked Dragon. Dragon nodded no, Dragon was not busy this evening, right around sunset.

“Then please come back here at that time. There will be a special frog concert tonight!” Fernando said with enthusiasm.

Dragon’s eyebrows shot up in surprise and then Dragon smiled with a big, big smile!

“Please invite anyone else you see, too!” Fernando called and Dragon nodded enthusiastically. Immediately Dragon took off to find the others and tell them about the special concert.

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.

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.

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:25
Stumble and Grace Excerpt:

Winds whistled through the trees and ruffled the little bunny’s fur. She shivered and decided it was time to frolic. That always warmed her up. Ballet bunny hopped left, then right, and then twirled up on her toes. The little bunny danced around the bushes, gently holding the branches as she turned around and around. Ballet leaped up into the air and landed, balancing on one foot. She felt warm, cozy and now the wind ruffling her fur felt refreshing. In fact the little bunny felt ready for a snack and a drink. Gracefully, Ballet began to dance her way to the stream.

As the little bunny started her journey, she noticed two other bunnies on the path and stopped. They turned and looked at Ballet. Then they smiled. “Hi I’m Bobby!” And I’m Babette!” the bunnies said.

“I’m B-B-Ballet” the graceful bunny said, with a little hesitation. She never knew how others would react to her difficulties with speaking.

“Where are you going Ballet?” Babette asked.

“W-Well I f-felt a little hhhungry so I thought I’d have a sssnack and d-drink.” Ballet replied.

“Oh, do you know a good place to eat?” Bobby asked, “I’m feeling hungry too?”

The kind dragon stopped and listened, recognizing the sound of Ballet’s voice. And then Babette’s and Bobby’s. The dragon hoped that Bobby and Babette would be patient with Ballet, and give her all the time she needed to speak.

Today’s Meditation: Gently sway like the graceful willow tree in today's meditation.

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.

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:48
Dragon at Work Excerpt:

Sunshine streamed into the cave and gently woke the dragon. The dragon sat up and stretched. The dragon had decided to take the train’s advice and meet some vehicles before finding the people, and today was the day! Although excited to go exploring, the dragon also felt nervous. The curious dragon wasn’t quite sure how it could have both feelings at the same time, but that’s how the dragon felt. Excited to be meeting new friends, and nervous that people might spot the dragon and run. The dragon took a deep breath in and out and set off on the day’s adventure.

The dragon wound through the trees until the edge of the enchanted forest was in sight. On the other side of the trees was the land of the people. The dragon peeked through the branches, curious to see what was there. In the clearing were several garages with different colored doors. They faced each other and centered around a large circle of pavement.

The dragon took a deep dragon breath in and out and felt a bit more courageous. OK, it was time. The dragon stepped out of the forest and walked over to the garages. As it did, the red garage door began to roll up and an excavator rolled out.

The excavator blinked as she grew accustomed to the sunshine. The dragon smiled at her, and looked quite confident, if not for the tail swishing back and forth behind it, nervously. The excavator looked a little surprised. The dragon waved, hoping the excavator would understand. The excavator did. She smiled back and said, “Hi my name is Ellie. I haven’t seen you before. Where are you from?”

The dragon felt relieved that Ellie was friendly, and took a deep dragon breath in and out. Flames gently rolled out of the dragon’s mouth, showing the forest, and then the cozy cave.

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.
