Terry the Truck is excited for the first scenic drive of the season!

Narrator: Male



Story Begins: 8:46



Spring Puddles Excerpt:

Terry the Truck was having a quiet morning. The little truck had been sitting in the garage, wondering what would happen today. With the season turning from winter to spring, his Human Driver had lately been very busy getting Terry ready to go on their favorite scenic drives. For the last two years, beginning after the spring thaws and until the late autumn freezes, Terry and his Driver would take wonderful drives through the countryside. During the last week or so, Driver had been checking Terry’s tires for air; giving Terry clean oil to help his engine, and making sure every little hum, chug, and grumble that Terry made was healthy and safe. It had been a while since he had had this much attention and Terry was excited at the prospect of their upcoming travels. But this morning, Terry hadn’t yet seen Driver.

Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

Helen goes on a fun-filled adventure to the grocery store where she discovers some new vegetables.



Narrator: Female



Story Begins: 3:36



Culinary Quest Excerpt:

In a cozy little Ahway Island house, surrounded by lush trees and tall grass, lived a girl named Helen. Helen liked to do many things.  She liked playing scientist and finding different bugs in the tall grass behind her house.  She liked acting out stories and playing pretend. She liked playing mini golf. She liked reading books before bed. But one thing that Helen did not like was trying new foods.



Helen was what one might call a picky eater. She preferred to stick to familiar foods she already knew she enjoyed, like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or cheese pizza.

Pal feels bored now that the kids have gone to to school. He decides to ride the bus to find them.



Narrator: Male



Story Begins: 3:54



Furry Field Trip Excerpt:

The sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the kitchen floor as the boy and girl bustled about, preparing for the day ahead. Pal, the little puppy, darted in between and around the teenagers’ feet as they bustled about the kitchen. Pal’s tail wagged furiously as he weaved between their legs. He was happy they were up and about on this beautiful morning.



“Watch out, Pal!” chuckled the girl, gently nudging Pal away. The puppy didn’t mind; he just wanted to be part of the action.



“We have to get ready!” added the boy. He and the girl slipped on their shoes and slung bags over their shoulders.



What Pal didn’t know…was what the girl and boy were getting ready for.  Why were they rushing about today?

Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Bunny Playground,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!

Narrator: Male



Story Begins: 8:54



Bunny Playground Excerpt:

Betty Bunny woke up slowly. She yawned . She lifted her head and looked out the nearby window. It was cloudy and a little windy outside. Betty Bunny thought to herself, “Maybe the sun wanted to stay in bed today. I hope it feels OK!”

The little bunny stood up on her hind legs to see if she could see any glimpse of a sunbeam. Suddenly, the clouds moved apart, pushed by the wind, and a little glimmer of sun flickered down and kissed Betty Bunny on the nose.

“Oh good! My sunshine was just resting!” Betty thought, smiling.

Dragon holds an evening of storytelling in the forest, and Odin Owl tells the story of how he came to Ahway Island.



Narrator: Female



Story Begins: 3:30



Fearless Flight Excerpt:

It was evening on Ahway Island. The horizon gradually filled with shades of pink and purple as the sun finished setting and disappeared beneath the horizon. In the special clearing in the Ahway Island Forest, the forest creatures gathered with great anticipation. The ants had arrived early to be near the front, as had Chelsea chipmunk. Diana duck waddled in from the riverbank, and the frogs gathered on a large rock. Mya mouse scurried to join the group, and Peanut squirrel darted in with great anticipation. Petunia possum lumbered in slowly and purposefully. The raccoon trio appeared out of the bushes, ready for the big event.

Soon Dragon arrived too, smiling and waving at the gathering crowd. They all sat in a circle around the center point of the clearing. By now the moon was out, and its bright glow illuminated the center of the clearing. It was then that Dragon took a spot in the moonlight in the middle of the circle of creatures, standing patiently, waiting for everyone to quiet down.

Eddie has an assignment to memorize a list of 10 animals! How will he remember them all?



Narrator: Male



Story Begins: 3:55



Plans for Planting Excerpt:

It was a cool, cloudy day on Ahway Island. The birds circled the neighborhood, searching for trees to nest in, and the squirrels diligently hunted nuts to stow away. The trees shook from the wind, and leaves began to release from their branches.



Eddie De Souza returned to his classroom from recess and sat at his desk, ready to receive his homework for the day. He looked at the board at the front of the classroom and saw the words “Memory Test” written in bright blue.
