Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Kohala Moon, a podcast of
00:00:14
Speaker 1: original children's bedtime stories and meditations designed to make bedtime
00:00:20
Speaker 1: a dream. I've got two shout outs tonight, so welcome
00:00:24
Speaker 1: to the Coco Club Alexis, who has a cat actually
00:00:27
Speaker 1: called Cocoa, and Dea from Leicestershire, UK. Dea, I heard
00:00:32
Speaker 1: that you love our crazy canine friends Hector and Sunny
00:00:35
Speaker 1: the most, so I saved your shout out for tonight's story,
00:00:38
Speaker 1: where we'll find out what they've been up to you lately.
00:00:41
Speaker 1: Thank you both for being such loyal listeners and joining
00:00:44
Speaker 1: the club. Enjoy all your extra stories and you're ad
00:00:47
Speaker 1: free listening. So who knows where we're headed tonight. We've
00:00:51
Speaker 1: actually been here before, but last time we were with
00:00:54
Speaker 1: a little girl called Ivy and it was Christmas. Yup,
00:00:58
Speaker 1: it's New York. We're going back to the Big Apple
00:01:01
Speaker 1: with Hector and Sonny. They are headed off on a
00:01:05
Speaker 1: very exciting holiday there with Hector's owner, and their stay
00:01:09
Speaker 1: just gets better and better as they learn that there's
00:01:12
Speaker 1: much more to New York than meets the eye. I
00:01:15
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but my heart is racing now,
00:01:18
Speaker 1: so let's take a few nice calming breaths and yawns
00:01:22
Speaker 1: before we get started, close your eyes or let them
00:01:27
Speaker 1: gently rest, and just breathe in and out softly through
00:01:31
Speaker 1: your nose, in and out in and side out in
00:01:44
Speaker 1: deep and side out in again, and this time try
00:01:53
Speaker 1: to yawn it out in and God, there you go.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: Wriggle around a little bit and shake if you need,
00:02:06
Speaker 1: or stretch until you're ready to rest and snuggle down. Okay,
00:02:11
Speaker 1: let's get started. This is Hector and Sunny in New
00:02:16
Speaker 1: York City by Luke Prendergast. Although it's true that Hector
00:02:28
Speaker 1: and Sunny, two normal seeming but incredibly special dogs, had
00:02:32
Speaker 1: been on many fantastical adventures, they had never been on
00:02:36
Speaker 1: what you might call a conventional holiday. But all that
00:02:41
Speaker 1: was about to change. One afternoon, while they were lounging
00:02:45
Speaker 1: about in the garden, relaxing in the spring sunlight and
00:02:49
Speaker 1: chewing on an old flip flop, Hector's dad came out
00:02:53
Speaker 1: of the house to tell them that he had something
00:02:55
Speaker 1: exciting to tell them. The very next day they would
00:03:00
Speaker 1: all be going on holiday. They'd be catching a plane.
00:03:03
Speaker 1: They were off, he said, to New York, the Big Apple,
00:03:08
Speaker 1: the city that never sleeps, the most exhilarating metropolis in
00:03:14
Speaker 1: the whole wide world. So he concluded, barely able to
00:03:19
Speaker 1: keep his own excitement from fizzing up and out, they'd
00:03:22
Speaker 1: better go and get ready. Hector and Sonny might have
00:03:26
Speaker 1: never been on holiday before, but they certainly knew how
00:03:30
Speaker 1: to get ready for one. They'd seen their owners pack
00:03:33
Speaker 1: their bags each year as they went off on holiday
00:03:36
Speaker 1: to beach vacations, city breaks, skiing trips, and jungle expeditions.
00:03:42
Speaker 1: So they went upstairs, pulled out a couple of suitcases,
00:03:46
Speaker 1: and threw open the wardrobe doors. I wonder what the
00:03:51
Speaker 1: weather will be like, Hector mused, looking through the wardrobe.
00:03:56
Speaker 1: Everything depends on that, really well, Sonny told him it's spring,
00:04:03
Speaker 1: so I bet it will be warm in the day
00:04:06
Speaker 1: but chilly at night, and in might rain, you know,
00:04:10
Speaker 1: So it's best to pack for all eventualities, And so
00:04:15
Speaker 1: that's what they did. They packed sunglasses and anna rags,
00:04:19
Speaker 1: two light scarves, and a couple of sun hats. Hector
00:04:24
Speaker 1: even packed his favorite tartan jacket, which clipped up under
00:04:28
Speaker 1: his belly. They packed a few bags of treats in
00:04:32
Speaker 1: case they got peckish, and a book each too in
00:04:35
Speaker 1: case of a rainy day. They packed their toilet trees,
00:04:39
Speaker 1: doggy toothbrushes, nail clippers, a brush to keep their coats
00:04:43
Speaker 1: nice and sleek. Oh Sonny cried after him as Hector
00:04:47
Speaker 1: bounded out of the room to fetch something. And don't
00:04:50
Speaker 1: forget a couple of chew toys. Will need some good
00:04:54
Speaker 1: stuff to chew on in New York City. Nice stinking,
00:04:59
Speaker 1: Hector told her with a toothy grin, and he ran
00:05:02
Speaker 1: off to get the toys. The next morning, they woke
00:05:06
Speaker 1: up when their alarm went off, grabbed their bags between
00:05:09
Speaker 1: their teeth, and jumped into the car. Hector's dad was
00:05:14
Speaker 1: very impressed. Wow, he said, dogs who can pack their
00:05:18
Speaker 1: own bags. Imagine that. Everyone was very excited. They were
00:05:24
Speaker 1: never up this early. The sun was only just rising
00:05:29
Speaker 1: and the car headlights shone on the dark roads. But
00:05:33
Speaker 1: even though it was early, they were all surprised to
00:05:36
Speaker 1: find at the airport was busy. The huge terminal, with
00:05:41
Speaker 1: its sliding glass doors and cafes and backlit signs, was
00:05:45
Speaker 1: teeming with people, all of them walking this way and that,
00:05:50
Speaker 1: pulling wheeli suitcases behind them, looks of eager anticipation on
00:05:55
Speaker 1: their faces. Everyone's looking forward to going on holiday, said Sonny. Well,
00:06:02
Speaker 1: you can't blame them, Hector replied, so am I. The
00:06:08
Speaker 1: two dogs stood beside Hector's dad as they all looked
00:06:12
Speaker 1: up at the big screen which listed all the flights
00:06:15
Speaker 1: that were taking off that morning. Soon they saw their
00:06:19
Speaker 1: flight to New York City. They followed the signs to
00:06:22
Speaker 1: the checking desk listed and waited in the queue for
00:06:25
Speaker 1: five minutes until they reached the front. The man behind
00:06:30
Speaker 1: the desk was very friendly as he checked Hector's dad's
00:06:33
Speaker 1: passport and Hector and Sonny's canine passports and waved their bags.
00:06:39
Speaker 1: Is it your first time going to New York, he
00:06:42
Speaker 1: asked them. Hector's dad told him it was, oh, he said,
00:06:48
Speaker 1: returning their passports to Hector's dad with a big, bright smile.
00:06:53
Speaker 1: What a wonderful time you're going to have, and with
00:06:57
Speaker 1: your adorable dogs too, And they watched as their suitcase
00:07:01
Speaker 1: wobbled down the conveyor belt and disappeared out of sight.
00:07:07
Speaker 1: Next up, they made their way to security. They waited
00:07:11
Speaker 1: in another queue, and then her friendly security officer told
00:07:15
Speaker 1: them to place any metal objects they might have into
00:07:18
Speaker 1: a little plastic box, even the dog's collars Hector's dad asked, Oh, yes, sir,
00:07:26
Speaker 1: She replied, that'll have to come off. So Hector's dad
00:07:31
Speaker 1: slipped off their collars, put them in the box, and
00:07:34
Speaker 1: then let the dogs trot through the security arches. Then
00:07:37
Speaker 1: he followed on through. Thank you, the security woman said, beaming,
00:07:42
Speaker 1: She handed them back their collars. Have a fantastic trip.
00:07:48
Speaker 1: Soon enough, Hector and Sonny were at their gate. They
00:07:51
Speaker 1: sat by the huge glass windows, looking out at all
00:07:55
Speaker 1: the planes that trundled down the runways and then took
00:07:58
Speaker 1: off gracefully into the sky like big metal birds. Then
00:08:03
Speaker 1: a particularly large plane rolled up to their gate. This
00:08:07
Speaker 1: must be ours, Sonny barked, and she was right. After
00:08:13
Speaker 1: a few minutes, the air stewards called them up and
00:08:16
Speaker 1: checked their boarding passes and passports one more time. One
00:08:21
Speaker 1: human seat and two K nine seats, she said, gotcha,
00:08:27
Speaker 1: and then they were on the plane. They buckled their belts,
00:08:31
Speaker 1: watched the security information carefully, and Hector's dad slipped on
00:08:36
Speaker 1: his headphones to watch an in flight movie. But Hector
00:08:41
Speaker 1: and Sonny were having too much fun to watch any
00:08:44
Speaker 1: kind of movie at all. They watched through the window
00:08:47
Speaker 1: as the plane rose ah up, broke through the misty
00:08:52
Speaker 1: bank of clouds and out into the crystal blue sky. Wow.
00:08:59
Speaker 1: They both whisper, but the clouds spread out like white,
00:09:03
Speaker 1: fluffy mountains beneath them, and for the rest of the journey,
00:09:08
Speaker 1: Hector and Sunny settled back into their seats and watched
00:09:13
Speaker 1: them roll by. New York City was more spectacular than
00:09:20
Speaker 1: either Hector or Sunny could ever have imagined. The skyscrapers
00:09:25
Speaker 1: towered up so high in the sky they got dizzy
00:09:29
Speaker 1: from looking upwards. Yellow taxis flowed in long lines down
00:09:35
Speaker 1: the roads. People on the streets smiled and waved and
00:09:39
Speaker 1: hurried about, and steam rose in clouds from big metal
00:09:44
Speaker 1: grates in the pavement, or they should say, in the sidewalk.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: That's what New Yorkers called it. Hector's dad took them
00:09:53
Speaker 1: to Central Park, they walked up Broadway, they visited the
00:09:58
Speaker 1: Empire State Building, and at the end of their first day,
00:10:03
Speaker 1: feeling tired and satisfied, they went back home and Hector's
00:10:07
Speaker 1: dad to canap. You know what I'm in the mood for,
00:10:12
Speaker 1: Sonny asked Hector, what relaxing and having a good chew
00:10:19
Speaker 1: on a chew toy. That's a great idea, Hector agreed,
00:10:26
Speaker 1: but that's when they made a very unfortunate discovery. They
00:10:31
Speaker 1: had forgotten to pack the chew toys. They searched all
00:10:35
Speaker 1: through both their bags, but they couldn't find them. Hector
00:10:39
Speaker 1: felt very guilty. It had been his job to pack
00:10:43
Speaker 1: the chew toys, after all, but Sonny, with her big
00:10:47
Speaker 1: kind heart, told him that he shouldn't feel bad, not
00:10:51
Speaker 1: even for one moment. This no worries, she told him. Besides,
00:10:57
Speaker 1: we're in New York City. I bet there's plenty of
00:11:01
Speaker 1: things out there did chew on. And so Hector and
00:11:05
Speaker 1: Sonny headed back out into the city to search for
00:11:09
Speaker 1: something to chew. They looked up the streets, They peered
00:11:14
Speaker 1: into shops, They looked under cars, They searched in front yards,
00:11:20
Speaker 1: but they couldn't find anything. Then, just as they were
00:11:24
Speaker 1: about to give up, Hector spotted something. Look, Sonny, look,
00:11:30
Speaker 1: he said, and he pointed at a chew toy, a
00:11:34
Speaker 1: bright purple rubber bone, lying next to a metal grate
00:11:37
Speaker 1: on the street. Hah, that's perfect, said Sonny. The two
00:11:43
Speaker 1: of them bounded over, and Sonny was just about to
00:11:47
Speaker 1: lower her head to grasp the toy between her teeth
00:11:51
Speaker 1: and give it a good old chew, when, much to
00:11:54
Speaker 1: their surprise, the Purple Bone stood up, shook itself oh,
00:12:00
Speaker 1: opened its wide googly eyes, and said, oh hello, they're
00:12:04
Speaker 1: you two? How you doing? Our two canine pals were
00:12:10
Speaker 1: so surprised to find a talking purple bone that they
00:12:14
Speaker 1: themselves were momentarily stuck for words. The Purple Bone blinked
00:12:19
Speaker 1: at them a few times, then a realization lit up
00:12:23
Speaker 1: in his eyes. Were you too? Were you two? Actually?
00:12:30
Speaker 1: Were yo two gonna chill me? It took a second
00:12:34
Speaker 1: for Sonny to find her tongue. Hum, no, she said.
00:12:40
Speaker 1: The Purple Bone blinked again. Choo wa, he said, I
00:12:46
Speaker 1: saw you cho were leaning down to chew on me.
00:12:53
Speaker 1: But but Hector stammered, isn't that what you're for? The
00:12:59
Speaker 1: Purple Bone blinked at them yet again, looking as though
00:13:03
Speaker 1: he were very offended. Then abruptly he burst out laughing,
00:13:10
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I almost really had the two of you there,
00:13:13
Speaker 1: didn't I? The Purple Bone said. Now. Hector and Sonny
00:13:18
Speaker 1: were laughing too, partly out of relief that they hadn't
00:13:21
Speaker 1: actually caused any offense, but mostly because it was a
00:13:25
Speaker 1: pretty good practical joke for the Purple Bone to play.
00:13:28
Speaker 1: You really did almost have us, they said. Hector and
00:13:33
Speaker 1: Sonny introduced themselves, and the bone said, what's up. My
00:13:38
Speaker 1: name's Milky. Because I got so much calcium in me,
00:13:43
Speaker 1: I'll make your little nashes shine. Welcome to New York City.
00:13:49
Speaker 1: So you guys are looking for something to chew? Huh? Yes,
00:13:55
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny said, and they told him about their
00:13:58
Speaker 1: predicament about leaving all their chew toys at home. Well,
00:14:04
Speaker 1: said Milkie, let me let you in on a little secret.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: Have the two of you ever heard of a magical
00:14:14
Speaker 1: little place called chew York City? Chew York City. Hector
00:14:20
Speaker 1: and Sonny looked at each other and at Milkie in
00:14:23
Speaker 1: confusion and wonder. No we haven't, said Hector. What's that, ah,
00:14:32
Speaker 1: said Milki. Well, it's the most stupendously wondrous place you
00:14:38
Speaker 1: could ever in a million years imagine. But I don't
00:14:44
Speaker 1: want to tell you about it. I want to show you.
00:14:48
Speaker 1: Follow me, And with that, Milky tottered off towards the grate,
00:14:54
Speaker 1: which he lifted up, revealing a deep, dark tunnel. Follow me,
00:14:59
Speaker 1: he said again, and he dove right in. It didn't
00:15:04
Speaker 1: take Hector and Sunny more than a quick eager glance
00:15:07
Speaker 1: to know that, of course they were going to follow him.
00:15:10
Speaker 1: They had a thirst adventure, and they wanted more than
00:15:13
Speaker 1: anything to find out about this whole new place, New
00:15:17
Speaker 1: York City. So in they dove, one after the other
00:15:22
Speaker 1: and tumbled down and down and down until they landed
00:15:28
Speaker 1: back on the street, with Milky the Purple Bone standing
00:15:32
Speaker 1: right beside them, dusting himself off. They were exactly where
00:15:37
Speaker 1: they'd started, except they weren't. As they looked around, they
00:15:43
Speaker 1: began to notice differences. They seemed to be on the
00:15:46
Speaker 1: same street of New York, with the higher ese buildings
00:15:50
Speaker 1: and the leafy trees and the car parked by the
00:15:53
Speaker 1: side of the road, but everything seemed sort of different. Wow,
00:16:02
Speaker 1: whispered Hector, finally understanding what had happened. Look, Sonny, look,
00:16:10
Speaker 1: everything is made out of chew toys. Sonny looked around.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: Hector was right, everything and she meant everything was chewable.
00:16:24
Speaker 1: The cars were made of rubber, The wheels were giant frisbees.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: The trees weren't trees at all, for delicious looking sticks
00:16:34
Speaker 1: with stuffed toyleees hanging from the twiggy branches. The walls
00:16:39
Speaker 1: weren't built out of bricks. They were built out of
00:16:42
Speaker 1: chewy cuboids and lengths of rope for tug of war.
00:16:47
Speaker 1: Even the buildings were chewable, all bits of chewy rubbery
00:16:52
Speaker 1: goodness fitted together into huge, towering puzzles of chewability. Wow,
00:17:01
Speaker 1: just looking at it all made Sonny feel a bit dizzy.
00:17:06
Speaker 1: Now that's the kind of reaction I was hoping for.
00:17:10
Speaker 1: Milkie said, welcome to choe Yolk City. What do you
00:17:16
Speaker 1: guys think? It's like a dreamland? Sighed Hector. It shore is.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: Milky agreed. It's just the kind of place you never
00:17:29
Speaker 1: thought would exist, but it does here, it is, and
00:17:36
Speaker 1: all the dogs of New York City know about it.
00:17:40
Speaker 1: They just come out of their houses, open up a portal, great,
00:17:44
Speaker 1: and jump right on down, and they find themselves here
00:17:50
Speaker 1: in chew York City. So Milki the Purple Bone looked
00:17:55
Speaker 1: at Hector and Sonny with a big grin. What are
00:17:58
Speaker 1: you guys waiting for? Go chew to your heart's content?
00:18:05
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny didn't need telling twice. They were off
00:18:09
Speaker 1: bounding through New York City. Everything they passed they had
00:18:14
Speaker 1: anaure of, or gave a lick, or tucked their teeth
00:18:18
Speaker 1: in for a good old chew lamp posts and water pumps,
00:18:22
Speaker 1: restaurant tables and fence posts. They hopped into a bakery
00:18:27
Speaker 1: and chewed on a baguette, which wasn't a baguette at all,
00:18:31
Speaker 1: but a stuff toy. The streets were lined with endlessly
00:18:36
Speaker 1: delicious shoes, which they weren't usually in the normal world
00:18:41
Speaker 1: allowed to chew on. They met lots of friendly dogs
00:18:45
Speaker 1: on their way, who greeted them with merry barks or
00:18:49
Speaker 1: showed them great new things to chew on. A big
00:18:53
Speaker 1: great dane showed them how to jump up on walls
00:18:56
Speaker 1: to collect the little treats that were littered on top
00:18:59
Speaker 1: of them, And in Central Park, a tiny chiuhaha showed
00:19:04
Speaker 1: them that if you shook certain trees hard enough, bouncy
00:19:08
Speaker 1: toys full of peanut, butter and berries would be dislodged
00:19:13
Speaker 1: from the branches and rained down like fruit. As they
00:19:18
Speaker 1: sorted down a street, they bumped into Milkie the Purple
00:19:22
Speaker 1: Bone again, who asked them how they were doing. Hey,
00:19:27
Speaker 1: you guys, he added, have you been to the Statue
00:19:31
Speaker 1: of Nibblody yet? Hector and Sonny shook their heads the
00:19:37
Speaker 1: Statue of Niblity, They asked, what's that, oh man, I
00:19:44
Speaker 1: can't believe you guys haven't seen it yet, sighed Milkie.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: The statue of Nibblity is to chew Yok City, what
00:19:52
Speaker 1: the statue of Libberty is to New York City. It's
00:19:57
Speaker 1: the most important landmark in the whole place. And you
00:20:02
Speaker 1: won't be able to guess what our lady of Nibloody
00:20:05
Speaker 1: is holding up in her hand, say Milkie, added, can
00:20:11
Speaker 1: you to swim? Hector and Sonny both nodded. They loved
00:20:16
Speaker 1: to swim, good, said Milkie. Follow me, and in a
00:20:22
Speaker 1: few minutes all three of them were swimming through the
00:20:25
Speaker 1: cool fresh water of the New York Harbor, Doggie paddling
00:20:30
Speaker 1: over to the statue of Niblty. She stood on an
00:20:34
Speaker 1: island in the middle of the water. They reached the
00:20:38
Speaker 1: bank and clambered out. Then they began to scale the statue.
00:20:43
Speaker 1: Up and up they went, climbing up her chewy robes,
00:20:48
Speaker 1: over her head, up her arm, until they reached the
00:20:53
Speaker 1: top and discovered she was holding the most perfect golden
00:20:59
Speaker 1: bone they could ever have imagined. It twinkled in the sunlight.
00:21:05
Speaker 1: It looked irresistibly appetizing. Go one Milky urged them have
00:21:12
Speaker 1: a taste, and let me tell you, they certainly did.
00:21:18
Speaker 1: It was the most mouthwashingly delicious tube bone they'd ever tasted. There,
00:21:25
Speaker 1: the three of them sat, Hector and Sunny and their
00:21:29
Speaker 1: new friend, Milky the Purple Bone. They watched the cityscape
00:21:34
Speaker 1: of New York City darkened into a silhouette as the
00:21:37
Speaker 1: sun dipped behind it. They watched the waves in the
00:21:42
Speaker 1: harbor lap against the shore, and they watched seagulls, who
00:21:47
Speaker 1: were actually flying stuffed toys, dip down and take little
00:21:52
Speaker 1: gulps of water. Soon, Hector found himself yawning, and when
00:21:58
Speaker 1: he let one out, Sonny started yawning too. Then even
00:22:03
Speaker 1: Milky was yawning. That's how infectious yawns can be. Oh,
00:22:11
Speaker 1: said Hector. That was a very fun, but very tiring day.
00:22:19
Speaker 1: We've been all over to York City, chewing on every
00:22:24
Speaker 1: little thing we can find. But now I'm tired. I
00:22:31
Speaker 1: need my bed. Sonny couldn't agree more, and so Milky
00:22:38
Speaker 1: the Purple Bone led them back to the grate that
00:22:41
Speaker 1: they had arrived through and lifted it up. It show
00:22:46
Speaker 1: was fun meeting you guys, he said. You well, come
00:22:51
Speaker 1: back to New York City, won't you? Hector and Sonny nodded.
00:22:56
Speaker 1: Of course, we will, they said, and then together they
00:23:01
Speaker 1: jumped back through the grate and landed back in New
00:23:05
Speaker 1: York City, where the world was normal once again. They
00:23:10
Speaker 1: walked slowly through the fading evening, seeing families eating their dinner,
00:23:16
Speaker 1: kids playing, people sitting on the stoops outside their houses
00:23:21
Speaker 1: listening to music. Eventually they reached where they were staying. Luckily,
00:23:28
Speaker 1: they discovered that Hector's dad was still asleep. He must
00:23:33
Speaker 1: have been exhausted. He hadn't even noticed they'd been gone
00:23:37
Speaker 1: at all. Yawning, Hector and Sonny just about managed to
00:23:43
Speaker 1: take off their sun hats and sunglasses and climb into
00:23:47
Speaker 1: their baskets, where warm and cozy blankets were waiting for them.
00:23:54
Speaker 1: Sonny gave a big stretch and a yawn. Hector laid
00:23:59
Speaker 1: his head on his paws. His eyes were feeling sleepy
00:24:04
Speaker 1: and sticky. What a day it had been. This morning.
00:24:09
Speaker 1: They'd woken up in Leeds at the crack of dawn,
00:24:13
Speaker 1: gone through the airport, flown on a plane, and now
00:24:18
Speaker 1: not only had they arrived in New York City, but
00:24:22
Speaker 1: they'd found a whole canine paradise beneath it. How fun
00:24:28
Speaker 1: it had been. Hector was drifting off to sleep, his
00:24:33
Speaker 1: memories of the day beginning to slip seamlessly into the
00:24:37
Speaker 1: content of his dreams, when he heard Sonny's voice. Hey, Hector,
00:24:44
Speaker 1: she whispered, Yes, he said, Can I just say that? Actually,
00:24:52
Speaker 1: I'm quite glad that you forgot our bag of two toys,
00:24:56
Speaker 1: she said. In his half sleep, Hector frowned, Why that,
00:25:04
Speaker 1: he asked, Well, she said, if you'd remembered them, we
00:25:11
Speaker 1: never would have found Milky, And if we'd never found Milky,
00:25:16
Speaker 1: we never would have found Chew York City either, and
00:25:22
Speaker 1: that would have been a real shame. Oh, said Hector.
00:25:29
Speaker 1: I never thought of it like that. You're completely right,
00:25:36
Speaker 1: And now, feeling very glad, even proud, that he'd forgotten
00:25:42
Speaker 1: the bag of chew toys, Hector fell asleep, and soon
00:25:48
Speaker 1: after that Sonny fell asleep too, and all night long,
00:25:54
Speaker 1: through their peaceful sleeps, they dreamed of ch York City
00:26:00
Speaker 1: and all the fun they had shared their together.
