Speaker 1: this time for rest and calm. Okay, ready, This is




00:02:14

Speaker 1: Cocoa and the Enchanted Easter ex by Jillian Rogerson. Deep




00:02:26

Speaker 1: in the heart of a far away forest stood a




00:02:29

Speaker 1: cozy cabin. Inside the cabin lived a family of Koalas.




00:02:35

Speaker 1: The youngest member of the family was called the Cocoa.




00:02:41

Speaker 1: It was a beautiful Easter morning and inside a cabin




00:02:45

Speaker 1: in sleepy forest, Coco was enjoying a breakfast meal with




00:02:48

Speaker 1: his family. Because it was Easter, Their breakfast was extra




00:02:53

Speaker 1: special that day and included toasted hot cross buns, followed




00:02:59

Speaker 1: by a small slice of chocolate cake that had Marsipan




00:03:03

Speaker 1: eggs on the top. It was Grandpa's special Easter cake




00:03:07

Speaker 1: and he made it every year. The family loved it,




00:03:12

Speaker 1: especially Cocoa, who was sometimes given a second slice of




00:03:15

Speaker 1: the delicious cake. After their breakfast, the family decided to




00:03:21

Speaker 1: sit outside on the patio. They settled down on the




00:03:25

Speaker 1: swinging benches and gazed at their tranquil surroundings. The air




00:03:30

Speaker 1: was pleasantly warm, and the sun's rays slanted through the trees.




00:03:35

Speaker 1: At the far side of the garden, bright yellow daffodils




00:03:41

Speaker 1: and cheerful red tulips swayed gently in the breeze. The




00:03:47

Speaker 1: wind rippled softly through the grass and sent a gentle




00:03:52

Speaker 1: whisper from tree to tree. The birds sang sweet tunes




00:03:59

Speaker 1: from the tree top. There was a soothing scene, and




00:04:04

Speaker 1: the koalas sat in silence for a while and enjoyed




00:04:07

Speaker 1: the peacefulness of the sunny Easter morning. After a few minutes,




00:04:14

Speaker 1: Grandpa went inside and returned with second helpings of the




00:04:19

Speaker 1: special chocolate cake for everyone. Coco smiled at his grandpa




00:04:25

Speaker 1: and said thank you. The little koala tucked into the




00:04:29

Speaker 1: cake and ate every last bit. Coco said to his family,




00:04:37

Speaker 1: I think this cake tastes even more delicious outside. He




00:04:43

Speaker 1: grinned at his grandpa and added, I think it might




00:04:48

Speaker 1: even have magic in it. Grandpa's eyes twinkled. He winked




00:04:55

Speaker 1: at Cocoa and said, maybe that my secret ingredient, little one,




00:05:03

Speaker 1: Maybe I put Easter magic into my cake. Coco chuckled.




00:05:10

Speaker 1: He looked at the forest in front of him. The




00:05:14

Speaker 1: spring sunshine highlighted the fresh new leaves that sprouted from




00:05:20

Speaker 1: every branch. Coco tipped his head to one side and said, hmmm,




00:05:28

Speaker 1: I feel like there's Eastern magic in Sleepy Forest today,




00:05:35

Speaker 1: and that an adventure might be waiting for me. His




00:05:40

Speaker 1: grandma said, I can feel the magic in the air too, Coco.




00:05:48

Speaker 1: Perhaps you should go for a walk and see if




00:05:53

Speaker 1: you can find that adventure, and when you come back,




00:05:58

Speaker 1: you can tell us all about it, can I, Coco asked.




00:06:05

Speaker 1: His family smiled at the eager look in Coco's eyes




00:06:09

Speaker 1: and said yes. Coco stood up and ran down the




00:06:14

Speaker 1: steps of the porch. He gave his family a wave




00:06:18

Speaker 1: of goodbye and skipped along the path that led into




00:06:22

Speaker 1: Sleepy Forest. He hummed happily as he skipped along through




00:06:28

Speaker 1: the forest. The sunlight filtered down through the branches and




00:06:34

Speaker 1: cast flickering shadows across the path. Coco danced with the shadows,




00:06:40

Speaker 1: a big smile on his face. A few moments later,




00:06:46

Speaker 1: something small, wrapped in purple foil rolled across the ground




00:06:51

Speaker 1: towards him. It looked like an Easter egg. Coco picked




00:06:57

Speaker 1: it up and said, where has this come from? Has




00:07:02

Speaker 1: someone lost an egg? A rustling sound came from the




00:07:07

Speaker 1: hedges at the side of the path, and a white




00:07:10

Speaker 1: rabbit hopped out from behind them. She was wearing a




00:07:15

Speaker 1: gold waistcoat that had pictures of silver eggs on it.




00:07:20

Speaker 1: Her ears and bushy tail were silver and they sparkled




00:07:24

Speaker 1: brightly in the spring sunshine. There was a big smile




00:07:29

Speaker 1: on her friendly face, and she gave Coco a happy wave.




00:07:35

Speaker 1: The rabbit said, I hope I didn't startle you just then.




00:07:41

Speaker 1: I'm the Easter Bunny. I don't suppose you've seen a




00:07:46

Speaker 1: runaway egg, have you. It's a purple one. Coco held




00:07:52

Speaker 1: the egg up. Is it this one? He asked? He




00:07:58

Speaker 1: rolled towards me. It heard about the Easter bunny before,




00:08:03

Speaker 1: but had never seen her, and he was trying his




00:08:06

Speaker 1: very best not to stare at the friendly rabbit. The




00:08:11

Speaker 1: Easter bunny laughed and said, yes, that is the runaway egg.




00:08:17

Speaker 1: I've got a lot of eggs to deliver this year




00:08:21

Speaker 1: to the young animals in Sleepy Forest, and my basket




00:08:25

Speaker 1: is so full that the eggs keep falling out. I




00:08:30

Speaker 1: have to keep chasing after them. Where is your basket,




00:08:36

Speaker 1: ko Ko asked, as he tried to peer around her.




00:08:41

Speaker 1: She waved her paw behind her and said her basket




00:08:45

Speaker 1: was near by. She gave Ko Ko a long look, smiled,




00:08:51

Speaker 1: and said, if you have time, could you help me




00:08:56

Speaker 1: deliver the eggs please? Koko's little eyes widened. Oh yes, please,




00:09:07

Speaker 1: I would love that. I have plenty of time, just plenty.




00:09:14

Speaker 1: That's wonderful. Thank you, the rabbit replied. She asked for




00:09:20

Speaker 1: his name, and when he gave it, she said it




00:09:23

Speaker 1: was a supername. Ko Ko smiled shyly. The easter bunny




00:09:30

Speaker 1: led Ko Ko over to her basket. It was so




00:09:33

Speaker 1: full of eggs that some had already rolled out and




00:09:37

Speaker 1: were lying in the grass. The bunny said Ko Ko




00:09:41

Speaker 1: should have a basket too. She twitched her nose and




00:09:46

Speaker 1: another basket appeared. Ko Ko was used to seeing magical




00:09:50

Speaker 1: animals in the forest, but he was still very impressed




00:09:54

Speaker 1: with the rabbit's magical powers and grinned in delight. The




00:10:00

Speaker 1: rabbit and the koala filled the extra basket with eggs




00:10:04

Speaker 1: and went on their way to deliver them to the




00:10:07

Speaker 1: baby animals in the forest. Eggs were left outside burrows,




00:10:13

Speaker 1: under trees, next to small houses, in hedgerows, and everywhere




00:10:19

Speaker 1: else the baby animals lived. Nobody saw Cocoa and the




00:10:25

Speaker 1: rabbit delivering the eggs, and Cocoa wondered if the rabbit




00:10:30

Speaker 1: had used magic to make them invisible somehow, but he




00:10:35

Speaker 1: was too shy to ask her that. With Coco's help,




00:10:41

Speaker 1: the easter bunny soon finished her delivery. She thanked Cocoa




00:10:47

Speaker 1: and said she was going home for a long sleep.




00:10:52

Speaker 1: She smiled at her new friend and said, before I go,




00:10:57

Speaker 1: I want to give you some enchanted eggs to say




00:11:00

Speaker 1: thank you for your help. She twitched her nose and




00:11:06

Speaker 1: four shiny silver eggs appeared in Coco's basket. The rabbit




00:11:13

Speaker 1: said each egg contained a wish, and whoever opened them




00:11:18

Speaker 1: would have their deepest wish granted. She told Coco he




00:11:24

Speaker 1: could do whatever he wanted with the eggs. He could




00:11:28

Speaker 1: keep them for himself or give them away. She said goodbye,




00:11:34

Speaker 1: twitched her nose, and in a flash of silver, she vanished.




00:11:41

Speaker 1: Coco looked at the shiny eggs and smiled. What would




00:11:46

Speaker 1: he do with them? He knew he didn't want to




00:11:50

Speaker 1: keep them for himself, but he wasn't sure who to




00:11:54

Speaker 1: give them to. Coco did what he always did when




00:12:00

Speaker 1: he couldn't think of an answer to a problem. He




00:12:04

Speaker 1: set off on a walk. The little Koala walked through




00:12:11

Speaker 1: sleepy forest and let his peaceful surroundings calm his mind.




00:12:18

Speaker 1: He hadn't got very far when he met a young




00:12:21

Speaker 1: dragon dancing along the path towards him. It was his




00:12:27

Speaker 1: good friend Disco. The dragon waved to Coco and booged




00:12:32

Speaker 1: towards him. Coco said hello and asked Disco where he




00:12:37

Speaker 1: was going. I'm not sure, Disco replied, I'm trying to




00:12:45

Speaker 1: make up some new tunes for my dance moves, but




00:12:49

Speaker 1: I can't think of any at all. I keep hoping




00:12:54

Speaker 1: I'll find something to inspire me in the forest. Maybe




00:13:00

Speaker 1: a new tune might come from somewhere unexpected. Coco broke




00:13:06

Speaker 1: into a huge smile. He took one of the shiny




00:13:10

Speaker 1: silver eggs from his basket and gave it to Disco.




00:13:14

Speaker 1: He told his friend about the Easter Bunny and how




00:13:18

Speaker 1: the special eggs had wishes inside them. Disco turned the




00:13:24

Speaker 1: egg around in his hands and said, how does it work.




00:13:31

Speaker 1: I'm not sure, Coco said, try making a wish and




00:13:37

Speaker 1: then opening it. Disco closed his eyes and mumbled something




00:13:43

Speaker 1: to himself. He opened his eyes, examined the egg and




00:13:49

Speaker 1: found the opening. He opened the enchanted easter egg. A




00:13:56

Speaker 1: cheerful song drifted from the egg and filled the air




00:14:00

Speaker 1: with his upbeat tempo. Disco laughed, Oh, Coco, it's a




00:14:07

Speaker 1: musical egg. Wow. He began to tap his dragon feet.




00:14:15

Speaker 1: He wiggled from side to side, and then, because he




00:14:20

Speaker 1: loved dancing so much, he broke into a full dancing routine,




00:14:27

Speaker 1: which perfectly matched the beat of the song. Disco held




00:14:33

Speaker 1: the egg securely as he twirled and whirled in front




00:14:38

Speaker 1: of Coco. The song came to an end, but it




00:14:43

Speaker 1: was replaced by another one. Disco's face was a picture




00:14:49

Speaker 1: of happiness as he jigged and jived. Seeing him so




00:14:54

Speaker 1: happy filled Coco's heart with love and warmth, and he




00:14:58

Speaker 1: told Disco the egg was his to keep forever. Disco




00:15:05

Speaker 1: stopped dancing and gave his kind friend a hug. Thank




00:15:11

Speaker 1: you so much, Cocoa, this is a wonderful gift. I'll




00:15:16

Speaker 1: never run out In new tunes. Now, the two friends




00:15:21

Speaker 1: say goodbye, Coco smiled as Disco danced down the path




00:15:27

Speaker 1: with the enchanted egg in his hand. Coco walked on




00:15:33

Speaker 1: through the forest holding the basket of three silver eggs.




00:15:38

Speaker 1: He gazed at the blue sky and noticed a few




00:15:43

Speaker 1: soft gray clouds drifting across it. More clouds followed, and




00:15:51

Speaker 1: then a light rain began. It was one of those




00:15:56

Speaker 1: spring showers that come out of nowhere, and Coco knew




00:16:02

Speaker 1: it wouldn't last long. Coco stood still and enjoyed the




00:16:08

Speaker 1: feeling of the soft rain settling on to his fur.




00:16:13

Speaker 1: The sun peeped out from a cloud and sent sunbeams




00:16:18

Speaker 1: shining through the misty rain, and then the most magnificent




00:16:26

Speaker 1: rainbow that Coco had ever seen appeared in the sky.




00:16:33

Speaker 1: The bright colors glimmered and glinted as if made of




00:16:39

Speaker 1: magical gems. They was so mesmerizing that Coco couldn't look




00:16:45

Speaker 1: away from it. Just as swiftly as it had appeared,




00:16:52

Speaker 1: the rain stopped and the clouds drifted away. Coco kept




00:16:59

Speaker 1: his attention on the rainbow and watched it slowly fade away.




00:17:07

Speaker 1: When it had almost gone, he looked back at the path.




00:17:12

Speaker 1: He was surprised to see one of his friends standing there,




00:17:17

Speaker 1: but he wasn't surprised to see his friend gazing at




00:17:22

Speaker 1: the sky in utter wonderment. Coco walked closer to his




00:17:30

Speaker 1: friend and said, Hi, Camo. Camo was a young comedian




00:17:38

Speaker 1: who loved changing the color of his skin into many




00:17:41

Speaker 1: different shades and patterns, but his favorite color scheme of




00:17:46

Speaker 1: all was that of a rainbow, which he was wearing




00:17:51

Speaker 1: that day. Camo looked away from the sky and at Coco.




00:17:57

Speaker 1: He gave his friend a big smile and said, I




00:18:02

Speaker 1: saw you on the path and was walking towards you,




00:18:06

Speaker 1: But then I saw that rainbow and couldn't look away




00:18:11

Speaker 1: from it. I've never seen such a beautiful rainbow before,




00:18:19

Speaker 1: Coco said, I haven't either, but the one you're wearing




00:18:25

Speaker 1: now is even more beautiful. Camo blushed a little, and




00:18:32

Speaker 1: his skin turned a delicate shade of pink. Thank you.




00:18:38

Speaker 1: You know how much I love rainbows. I wish everything




00:18:43

Speaker 1: could be rainbow colored. The pink tinge on his skin




00:18:48

Speaker 1: faded and his rainbow glowed brightly again. Coco smiled. He




00:18:57

Speaker 1: knew who to give the next enchanted egg too. He




00:19:03

Speaker 1: took one from his basket and gave it to Camo.




00:19:09

Speaker 1: He told his friend about the Easter bunny and the




00:19:12

Speaker 1: magic inside the egg. Coco said, I think I know




00:19:18

Speaker 1: what your wish will be. Camo smiled in reply and




00:19:24

Speaker 1: thanked Coco for such a precious gift. Camo made his




00:19:30

Speaker 1: wish and opened the egg. A delicate beam of rainbow




00:19:38

Speaker 1: colored light shone out from the egg. Camo's eyes widened




00:19:44

Speaker 1: in surprise, and so did Cocos. Coco said, oh wow,




00:19:54

Speaker 1: it's a rainbow torch. Camo, shine it on my tummy.




00:20:03

Speaker 1: Camo did so, and the little Koala's fur was covered




00:20:09

Speaker 1: in a resplendent rainbow of colors that matched Camos. The




00:20:15

Speaker 1: two friends laughed, and Coco said they looked like twins.




00:20:22

Speaker 1: Camo shone the torch over the trees and plants around him.




00:20:27

Speaker 1: Everything turned rainbow colored under the light of the magical beam.




00:20:35

Speaker 1: Camo smiled, this is the best gift ever, Coco, thank




00:20:43

Speaker 1: you so much. He closed the enchanted egg and gave




00:20:48

Speaker 1: the Koala a big hug. Coco said, you are welcome.




00:20:56

Speaker 1: You can see a rainbow whenever you want to, now, Camo.




00:21:01

Speaker 1: The two friends said good bye, and ko Ko went




00:21:04

Speaker 1: on his way. Ko Ko soon saw some one else




00:21:10

Speaker 1: that he knew it was his sleepy sloth friend, Fudge.




00:21:15

Speaker 1: The little sloth didn't see ko Ko because she was




00:21:20

Speaker 1: fast asleep on a rock. Ko Ko didn't want to




00:21:24

Speaker 1: wake her up, so he tiptoed past, but the silver




00:21:29

Speaker 1: eggs in his basket decided to make a jingling noise




00:21:34

Speaker 1: at that very moment, and Fudge woke up. She saw




00:21:38

Speaker 1: ko Ko and gave him a sleepy smile. Ko Ko




00:21:43

Speaker 1: apologized for waking her. Fudge yawned, slowly, stood up and




00:21:51

Speaker 1: walked over to Ko Ko. She said, that's okay. I




00:22:01

Speaker 1: was only taking a nap. I was walking from one




00:22:08

Speaker 1: tree to another and suddenly needed to rest. That rock




00:22:19

Speaker 1: was the closest thing to me, so I settled down




00:22:25

Speaker 1: on it. It's not very comfy, though, she chuckled. I




00:22:37

Speaker 1: wish I could carry a bed with me, and then




00:22:44

Speaker 1: I could take a nap wherever I am. Upon hearing




00:22:52

Speaker 1: her words, Coco gave her an enchanted eck and told




00:22:58

Speaker 1: her about the Easter Bunny and how her wish about




00:23:02

Speaker 1: carrying a soft bed with her could come true. Do




00:23:09

Speaker 1: you really think so? Fudge asked? How big would the




00:23:17

Speaker 1: bed be? Do you think it would be heavy? I




00:23:24

Speaker 1: might get very tired if I have to carry a




00:23:29

Speaker 1: heavy bed around with me. Ooh ooh, she yawned. Cocoa




00:23:40

Speaker 1: said she should let the egg work on that part




00:23:44

Speaker 1: of the magic and told her to make her wish




00:23:48

Speaker 1: and then open the egg. Fudge sleepily made her wish.




00:23:56

Speaker 1: She opened the egg and saw a small fabric package. Inside.




00:24:03

Speaker 1: There was a string dangling from the middle of it.




00:24:08

Speaker 1: Fudge frowned and gave Coco a confused look. Coco said,




00:24:17

Speaker 1: my Aunt Shirley has got an inflatable dingy and is




00:24:22

Speaker 1: made out of the same material as that, and it's




00:24:26

Speaker 1: got a string on it too. When she wants the




00:24:30

Speaker 1: dingy to grow bigger, she pulls the string and whoosh,




00:24:36

Speaker 1: it inflates in seconds. Fudge still looked confused and said




00:24:43

Speaker 1: she didn't want an inflatable dingy, but thank you for




00:24:47

Speaker 1: the gift. Coco smiled and said it might be an




00:24:54

Speaker 1: inflatable bed. Let's put it on the grass, pull the




00:24:59

Speaker 1: string and see what happens. Would you like me to




00:25:04

Speaker 1: do that? Oh? Yes, please, all this excitement is making




00:25:15

Speaker 1: me very tired. Oh. She let out a long, long yawn.




00:25:29

Speaker 1: Coco placed the little package on the grass and pulled




00:25:33

Speaker 1: the string. A soft hissing sound came from it, and




00:25:40

Speaker 1: the peculiar object began to fill with air. It grew




00:25:46

Speaker 1: and grew and became an inflatable bed that was the




00:25:53

Speaker 1: perfect size for a sleepy sloth. There was even a




00:25:59

Speaker 1: blanket on it, which looked ever so soft. Fudge's little




00:26:06

Speaker 1: face filled with happiness. Coco wanted to see what would




00:26:13

Speaker 1: happen when he pulled the string again. He pulled it




00:26:18

Speaker 1: and was very pleased to see the bed deflating to




00:26:22

Speaker 1: its original size. It even popped itself back into the egg.




00:26:31

Speaker 1: Fudge asked if she could try inflating the bed, and




00:26:35

Speaker 1: was delighted when she made the bed reappear. She yawned




00:26:41

Speaker 1: and said she should test the bed to make sure




00:26:45

Speaker 1: it was as comfortable as it looked. She climbed into




00:26:51

Speaker 1: the bed, poured the cover up to her chin, and




00:26:55

Speaker 1: fell fast asleep. Coco whispered sweet dreams and went on




00:27:04

Speaker 1: his way. He had one silver egg left, but who




00:27:10

Speaker 1: should he give it to. The animals in Sleepy Forest




00:27:16

Speaker 1: were all so very kind and friendly, and Cocoa wished




00:27:21

Speaker 1: he could give the egg to all of them. But




00:27:25

Speaker 1: how could he make that happen. He carried on walking




00:27:31

Speaker 1: through the beautiful forest, hoping that a solution would appear.




00:27:37

Speaker 1: As he walked along, his mind became calmer and calmer.




00:27:45

Speaker 1: He walked into a clearing and sat down on a




00:27:48

Speaker 1: log in the middle of it. The clearing was a




00:27:52

Speaker 1: happy place where Cocoa, because it was where the animals




00:27:57

Speaker 1: of Sleepy Forest often held festivals and celebrations. The little




00:28:04

Speaker 1: koala suddenly smiled. Ah Ha, that was it. He knew




00:28:13

Speaker 1: what to do with the last egg. He wasn't sure




00:28:17

Speaker 1: if it would work, but he had to try. He




00:28:22

Speaker 1: picked up the egg and held it firmly. He closed




00:28:27

Speaker 1: his eyes and whispered his wish into the silver egg.




00:28:32

Speaker 1: He had a lot of detail in his wish and




00:28:35

Speaker 1: hoped it wasn't too much for the enchanted egg. Coco




00:28:40

Speaker 1: opened his eyes and moved the egg around in his paws,




00:28:45

Speaker 1: looking for the opening. Before he could find it, the




00:28:52

Speaker 1: silver egg rose from his paws and opened all on




00:28:57

Speaker 1: its own. Hundreds of tiny spring flowers flew out of




00:29:04

Speaker 1: the enchanted egg and floated around the clearing. They settled




00:29:10

Speaker 1: on the hedges and trees, across the grass and on




00:29:15

Speaker 1: the hedgerows. The flowers grew bigger and covered the clearing




00:29:22

Speaker 1: in an abundance of yellow, red, and orange blossoms. More




00:29:29

Speaker 1: items came from the magical egg. This time it was




00:29:35

Speaker 1: tiny tables and chairs. The furniture arranged itself around the clearing,




00:29:42

Speaker 1: and as soon as each item touched the grass, it




00:29:46

Speaker 1: began to grow into a full sized item. Food and




00:29:52

Speaker 1: drink appeared on the tables, along with vases of bright




00:29:57

Speaker 1: yellow daffodils. The egg hadn't finished working its magic, and




00:30:05

Speaker 1: co Ko watched in amazement as small egg shaped invitations




00:30:11

Speaker 1: fluttered out of the open egg and flew away in




00:30:16

Speaker 1: all directions. Cooko had asked for everyone in Sleepy Forest




00:30:23

Speaker 1: be given an invitation, including the Easter Bunny, and he




00:30:28

Speaker 1: was so pleased to see that the egg had granted




00:30:32

Speaker 1: that part of his wish to When the last invitation




00:30:38

Speaker 1: had fluttered out of the egg, it closed and drifted




00:30:43

Speaker 1: over to the little Koala, co Ko thanked it for




00:30:48

Speaker 1: making his wish come true. The silver egg twinkled brightly




00:30:54

Speaker 1: and then vanished. Coko crossed his fingers. He hoped the




00:31:01

Speaker 1: invitations would reach everyone, and he hoped everyone would be




00:31:07

Speaker 1: able to attend the special surprise party. He waited patiently




00:31:14

Speaker 1: to see what would happen. The little Koala didn't have




00:31:20

Speaker 1: to wait long because the first guests soon arrived. It




00:31:26

Speaker 1: was ko Ko's family. His grandma held the egg shaped




00:31:31

Speaker 1: invitation in her poor and said, what a lovely surprise,




00:31:37

Speaker 1: ko Ko, what happened when you went out for your walk.




00:31:43

Speaker 1: You must tell us everything. I will. Grandma ko Ko




00:31:50

Speaker 1: ran towards his family and gave them all a hug.




00:31:55

Speaker 1: Koko didn't have time to tell his family what had




00:31:59

Speaker 1: happened because more guests arrived, and soon the clearing was




00:32:05

Speaker 1: full of animals who were delighted at having received an




00:32:09

Speaker 1: invitation to an Easter party. It wasn't long before they




00:32:15

Speaker 1: were all having a wonderful time. The Easter Bunny came




00:32:20

Speaker 1: to the party too, and brought lots of chocolate eggs,




00:32:24

Speaker 1: which she gave out to the party guests. She told




00:32:29

Speaker 1: Coco they weren't enchanted ones this time, but had been




00:32:33

Speaker 1: made with extra delicious chocolate. The surprise party continued into




00:32:41

Speaker 1: the afternoon and into the evening too. As the sky




00:32:47

Speaker 1: grew darker, the magical flowers in the glade turned into




00:32:53

Speaker 1: twinkling fairy lights and added a magical feeling to the party.




00:33:01

Speaker 1: All too soon it was time for everyone to go home.




00:33:08

Speaker 1: Hoko's grandpa offered to carry the little Koala on the




00:33:13

Speaker 1: journey back. Coco was so very tired and said yes please.




00:33:23

Speaker 1: His grandpa picked him up, and Coco snuggled into his




00:33:28

Speaker 1: warm embrace. The animals of Sleepy Forests said good night




00:33:34

Speaker 1: to each other and went their separate ways. The Koala




00:33:39

Speaker 1: family headed back to their cozy cabin. Hoko started to




00:33:49

Speaker 1: tell his family about his magical day and the enchanted




00:33:55

Speaker 1: Easter eggs, but he didn't get very far with his




00:34:00

Speaker 1: story because his eyes were tired and he couldn't keep




00:34:05

Speaker 1: them open. He yawned and closed his eyes. Oko snuggled




00:34:15

Speaker 1: closer to his grandpa, feeling snug and warm in his arms,




00:34:24

Speaker 1: and drifted off to sleep.
