This is Ria. Welcome to

0:11

Little Stories for Tiny

0:13

People. Our story today

0:15

will be a thrilling,

0:18

yet relaxing adventure. It's

0:20

called Lambden and the

0:23

Mystery Sleep Vehicle. Take

0:26

it away, Rita.

0:28

Remember, there are no pictures.

0:30

You have to imagine the

0:32

pictures in your mind.

0:34

You can imagine them however you

0:37

want. Okay, here we

0:39

go. Lambden

0:44

finished brushing his teeth

0:46

and capped his toothpaste.

0:49

It had been a long day. In wool

0:52

crafts class, he'd tried

0:54

to follow Mrs. Butterwool's

0:56

instructions to make a

0:58

potholder on his loom.

1:00

Push your weaving hook

1:02

through the warp and

1:05

begin, like so, weaving

1:08

over and under. Make

1:11

sure to push your

1:14

weft loops down for

1:16

an orderly appearance. Lambden's

1:19

potholder did not have

1:21

an orderly appearance. In

1:23

fact, Mrs. Butterwool displayed

1:25

it as a tragic

1:27

example of what not

1:29

to do. Lambden,

1:31

this is simply for the

1:34

benefit of others, my dear.

1:36

Now students, do you

1:38

see how his weft loops

1:40

are crooked? This is a

1:43

problem resulting from a lack

1:45

of... Later, he'd attempted to

1:47

follow Mrs. Butterwool as she

1:49

led the class through a

1:52

series of leg lifts in

1:54

the gymnasium. And point,

1:56

point, point your hoof and

1:59

point. It's good with that

2:01

point. Point your hoof, Lambden. Stay

2:03

with us, honey." Lambden was

2:06

relieved to be done with

2:08

all that. He clomped into

2:10

his bedroom and slipped into

2:12

a pair of moon print

2:14

pajamas. He lay down

2:16

in his bed. In a few

2:18

moments, he'd press the shiny

2:20

button beneath his pillow, the

2:23

button that would take him

2:25

to a relaxing bedtime journey

2:27

on his beloved sleep train.

2:31

But he was in no rush. He

2:33

closed his eyes, so tired

2:35

from his day that he

2:37

felt as if he could

2:40

fall asleep, then and there,

2:42

without moving from his bed. But

2:45

then, he felt something

2:47

crawling beneath his

2:50

pillow. Huh? Lambden

2:52

bolted upright and

2:54

peeled back his pillow

2:57

to reveal something

2:59

that zoomed at his face. Ow! Pain

3:03

shot through Lambden's cheek.

3:06

A wasp, a

3:08

tiny, bespectacled wasp, wearing

3:11

a shimmery vest, flew

3:14

in frenzied circles. Oh,

3:17

I shouldn't have done that. That wasn't

3:19

in the plan. Lambden

3:21

clutched his burning cheek with

3:24

a hoof and glared

3:26

at the wasp. Don't

3:28

report me, please. This is my

3:30

first week. You stung me.

3:33

That was an accident. I felt

3:35

threatened. Get out of my

3:37

room. I have an important message

3:40

to deliver, the wasp said, flitting

3:42

in front of Lambden's face. A

3:45

message. Great.

3:48

Peering at the wasp, noting

3:50

her shimmery vest, the

3:53

promise of a message,

3:55

Lambden knew exactly who had

3:57

sent her. I'm an impasse.

4:00

For, at this, the

4:03

Wasp seemed to pause for

4:05

drama. The Sleep Crew. They

4:08

said together, the Sleep

4:10

Crew, the team responsible

4:13

for running Lambdon's beloved

4:15

Sleep Train. The

4:17

Wasp unfolded a tiny paper

4:20

and adjusted her glasses. You,

4:24

Lambdon the Ship, are

4:26

one of two dozen

4:28

most sophisticated, loyal,

4:32

handsome, sleep

4:35

train riders selected to

4:37

board a brand new,

4:40

top secret, mystery

4:42

sleep vehicle. I am

4:45

not getting on some experimental

4:47

sleep vehicle. Are you still mad

4:49

about this thing? You know, it's not

4:52

healthy to hold pledges. Lambdon

4:54

fought the urge to swat

4:56

her. You'll want to hear

4:58

me out, the Wasp said,

5:00

alighting on the gleaming Sleep

5:02

Train button. Although, wait

5:05

a second, that wasn't

5:07

the Sleep Train button. It

5:10

had been replaced with a shimmering

5:12

button in the shape of a

5:14

question mark. Hey, oh this?

5:17

The Wasp said. Since you left

5:20

your window wide open, we brought

5:22

in our crew this afternoon. Lambdon

5:25

glanced at his window. It

5:27

was open to sliver, with

5:29

just enough gap for an

5:31

insect to squeeze through. He

5:34

shook his head in disbelief. What do

5:36

you mean you brought in your crew?

5:39

You needed the right button for tonight's sleep

5:41

adventure. I'm not doing a

5:43

test drive of a sleep vehicle. Oh,

5:46

you won't be driving it. I'm not

5:48

even boarding it. I'll fall asleep

5:50

in my own bed. It's not

5:52

the end of the world. Sheep

5:55

do it. As Lambdon said this,

5:57

his stomach roiled with disappointment. If

6:00

you don't show up, you could be permanently." Oh

6:03

no, don't tell him that. Not

6:06

supposed to. Never mind. I'll

6:09

be on my way." The wasp said,

6:11

lifting into the air. I'll

6:13

be permanently what? The

6:15

wasp stopped short, hovering

6:18

a moment before turning to

6:20

face him in mid-air. I'm

6:23

really not supposed to say. She's

6:25

trying to lure me in,

6:28

Landon told himself, like

6:30

the rest of these ridiculous sleep

6:32

crew ambassadors. And

6:34

yet, he couldn't help himself.

6:38

Please? I

6:40

suppose I could bend the rules just this once

6:43

to make up for the completely

6:45

accidental sting. The truth

6:47

is, the wasp said, glancing around

6:50

as if someone could be watching.

6:53

If you don't show up for this

6:55

ride, you'll be permanently blisted. Blisted?

6:58

Did I say blisted? I

7:00

meant listed. It's

7:02

when you're put on a list of troublesome

7:04

passengers. If the crew is

7:06

running out of blankets, they'll give you

7:08

the scratchiest one. Landon winced.

7:11

They might seat you next

7:13

to an undesirable seatmate. No.

7:16

They might even accidentally on purpose disable

7:18

your button. Why would they do that? The

7:21

sleep crew does many things that are

7:23

difficult to understand. Landon

7:25

couldn't argue with that. He

7:27

rubbed at the angry blotch on

7:29

his cheek, trying to make sense

7:31

of it all. He'd

7:33

been so sleepy when he'd first laid

7:36

down in bed. But

7:38

now, with this sting, how

7:41

would he ever get to sleep on his own?

7:44

And could he really risk this sort

7:46

of fate? The downgraded

7:49

and sleep train? The

7:52

wasp zipped in slow circles

7:54

as Landon considered what to

7:56

do. Tell me what

7:58

this mystery sleep vehicle is. I can't

8:02

tell you that. I'm on strict orders.

8:05

All aboard, I repeat.

8:08

All aboard our newest,

8:11

exclusive, magical sleep vehicle.

8:13

The tinny voice of

8:15

the Sleep Crew tour

8:17

guide came from somewhere

8:19

beneath a Lambdon's pillow.

8:22

It will loop around your

8:24

heart and amuse you

8:27

to no end before

8:29

lolling you to sleep.

8:32

Our mystery sleep vehicle

8:35

is now bawling. Loop

8:38

around your heart? Like

8:41

a go-kart around a

8:43

track? No, no. This

8:47

whole ordeal with a wasp

8:49

had thrown Lambdon off kilter.

8:52

He felt as if he were

8:54

casting about for a semblance of

8:56

solid footing. And finally,

8:59

he found it. It's a

9:02

trolley. Yeah, they go on

9:04

a route, a loop. That'll

9:06

be fine. Lambdon was

9:08

so relieved that without another thought,

9:11

he reached out a hoof and

9:13

pressed the question mark button on

9:15

his pillow. As he did

9:18

so, he saw the wasp. Fringing.

9:22

It's not a trolley, is it? But

9:25

Lambdon had already clicked his button.

9:28

A great, swirling

9:30

cloud streamed upwards.

9:34

The world was turning.

9:38

Lambdon got to his feet unsteadily.

9:42

He landed on the cushioned

9:44

seat of an enormous, spinning

9:46

teacup. A

9:48

dozen other teacups spun nearby,

9:51

twirling in time with the

9:53

strange music. Just when

9:55

Lambdon thought he might become

9:58

reacquainted with the carrot's stew

10:00

he'd had for dinner. The teacup

10:03

slowed to a stop, and a

10:05

little gate opened in its side.

10:08

Shakely, he tumbled out.

10:11

Dark, motionless rides loomed

10:13

over him. In a

10:16

nearby game booth, garish

10:18

clown dolls were still

10:21

and silent. Enormous

10:23

overhead signs in the shape

10:25

of arrows lit up, all

10:27

at once, pointing

10:30

down at a red carpet rolled

10:33

out before Lambden's hoof. He

10:35

hesitated, looking back at the spot

10:38

in the sky where he must

10:40

have dropped from the portal in

10:42

his pillow. There was no way

10:44

back. He stepped onto

10:47

the red carpet. History

10:50

of dizziness, particularly when

10:52

upside down. Uh, no.

10:56

Diagnosable fear of high

10:58

speeds, heights, or collisions

11:01

with birds. Not

11:03

that I know of. Incompatibility

11:06

with bright and or flashing

11:08

lights? I guess

11:10

not. History of heart

11:13

palpitations? I should

11:15

turn around, Lambden thought. He now

11:17

stood before the towering moose, the

11:20

Sleep Cruise tour guide, who peered

11:22

at him over the edge of

11:24

a clipboard, in front of

11:26

a nondescript, box-like building.

11:29

He looked back longingly at the

11:32

red carpet that had taken him

11:34

through what felt like a maze

11:36

across the darkened amusement park. Lambden.

11:40

History of heart palpitations? Was

11:44

it Lambden's imagination, or

11:46

was his heart palpitating

11:48

at that very moment?

11:50

He reluctantly turned back.

11:53

Uh, no. And lastly,

11:55

do you have an

11:57

allergy to sugar? sugar,

12:00

all I need is a

12:02

yes or no, Lambden." The

12:05

moose consulted her wrist watch.

12:08

"'My dear, you are the last

12:10

to arrive, and we do have

12:12

a schedule to keep.' Lambden

12:15

stared up at the sign

12:17

above the door behind the

12:20

moose that read, The Dragon's

12:23

Lair. Lambden, as

12:25

you know, this is a test

12:28

run of our new sleep vehicle.

12:31

We need this information for

12:33

our records. Now then, allergy

12:36

to sugar?" Lambden sighed.

12:38

There was no use. Even

12:41

if he could find his way back to

12:43

the spinning teacups, how would he ever get

12:45

back to his bedroom? And

12:48

how would he ever get to sleep

12:50

with the wasp sting burning his face?

12:52

I do not have an

12:55

allergy to sugar. "'Congratulations, Lambden.

12:57

You are cleared for entry.'"

13:00

With a flourish, the moose

13:02

swung open the door and

13:05

waved him inside. It

13:08

was pitch dark in the building. Lambden

13:11

couldn't even see his hoof in

13:13

front of his face, but as

13:15

soon as the moose led him

13:17

inside, he could hear the sleep

13:19

passengers chattering. "'Do you think it's

13:21

a tran?'" "'I was thinking a

13:23

log flume.' "'Step forward, Lambden. Your

13:26

seat is just ahead of you.'" The

13:28

moose said, guiding him by the

13:30

elbow. Lambden tripped

13:32

as his hoof met a new surface.

13:36

"'Metal.'" He stumbled again and half

13:38

fell into a seat that felt

13:40

like a bench. "'Hello?'" whispered

13:43

someone, inches away. It

13:45

had to be Lambden's seatmate. All

13:47

at once a bar lowered

13:50

across their laps. Lambden

13:53

felt a pit in his stomach.

13:56

What had he gotten himself

13:58

into, Giz? Hello

14:00

came the towering moose's voice

14:02

through a speaker. Welcome to

14:05

our brand new cutting edge

14:07

for wool and whisker raising,

14:09

yet slumber begetting.

14:12

The moose paused and there

14:14

was the sound of a

14:17

lever being pulled. The

14:20

darkness was flooded with

14:22

light. Sleep,

14:24

dragon. Lambden's

14:27

eyes slowly adjusted to

14:29

the bright lights. He

14:32

saw a long chain of two

14:34

row seats. It's a...it's

14:37

a roller coaster. Shouted

14:39

an ardent aardvark.

14:42

It was, indeed,

14:45

a roller coaster in the

14:47

shape and style of a dragon. There

14:50

was a period of commotion as the

14:53

passengers came to terms with their fates.

14:56

I am extremely alarmed

14:58

by this. cried a worried

15:00

wombat. I say, unhand

15:02

me at once, you

15:04

fools. cried a theatrical turtle.

15:07

But a few passengers were

15:09

thrilled. I can't wait. I'm

15:12

a thrill seeker. With a

15:14

sparkling opportunity. Including Lambden.

15:18

This is so cool. He'd been hooked

15:20

on roller coasters ever since he went

15:22

to sheep world as a lamb. Every

15:26

ounce of his worry melted

15:28

away. Even a

15:30

sting in his cheek seemed

15:33

to subside. I don't know

15:35

about this. murmured Lambden's now

15:37

visible seatmate. An alarmed looking

15:39

goat. It'll be great. Lambden

15:41

said with a grin. It's like a high speed

15:44

sleep train. Martleby ambled

15:46

along the platform beside

15:48

the roller coaster. Fuzzy,

15:51

weighted, or fashion forward

15:53

cheetah print. weighted please,

15:55

Lambden said, gratefully accepting

15:57

his blanket. But it was. quite

16:00

a blanket. It had

16:02

holes in which to put

16:04

one's arms and buckles around

16:06

the back. Guess. Hello? Lambden

16:09

could see the towering moose seated

16:11

in the first row. Our

16:14

team of sartorial experts

16:16

created these blanket vests,

16:19

specifically for this new

16:21

sleep experience. Please

16:23

have your seatmate assist you

16:25

in buckling your vest. Think

16:28

of it as both a comforting and

16:31

trust-building exercise. Lambden chuckled

16:33

to himself as he

16:35

and his seatmate helped

16:37

each other buckle into

16:39

the blanket vests. When

16:41

the sound of buckles

16:43

clasping had petered out,

16:45

the sleep dragon lurched

16:48

to life and rumbled

16:50

forward. Lambden relaxed

16:52

into his seat and

16:54

breathed in the scent of

16:57

grapefruit, drifting from Delilah the

16:59

rabbit's mist machine up in

17:01

one of the first rows.

17:05

I am positively tickled

17:07

pink to introduce this

17:09

top-secret sleep vehicle to

17:11

you, our most

17:13

sophisticated sleepers. Our

17:16

team has been working tirelessly

17:18

27 hours a day

17:20

for the last year to bring

17:23

it to fruition. Let me escape,

17:25

please. Drink up

17:27

that mischievous crescent moon.

17:30

Our first performance will

17:33

surely make your heart

17:35

flip. The sleep dragon

17:37

exited the building through a

17:39

tunnel and emerged outdoors, close

17:42

to the ground. The

17:44

sky was the color of ink and

17:47

a sliver of moon hung

17:49

like a crooked smile. Stars

17:52

twinkled as if enchanted,

17:55

Lambden settled into his seat.

17:58

He couldn't believe he had been so worried.

18:00

worried about this. The first

18:02

two stops were mesmerizing.

18:04

There was a show

18:07

featuring three miniature ferris

18:09

wheels, side by side,

18:11

each about four feet

18:13

tall. Lambden laughed

18:15

with surprise as hamsters popped

18:17

their heads up from the

18:20

ferris wheel's little seats. Each

18:23

one wore a red vest

18:25

and a green cap upon

18:27

its head. Aren't they darling?

18:29

I love them. The hamsters

18:31

began leaping from one ferris

18:33

wheel to the next. Soon,

18:36

there were dozens of

18:38

hamsters somersaulting in what

18:40

seemed like an orchestrated

18:42

fashion, each one landing

18:44

with confidence. The

18:47

three spinning ferris wheels, the

18:49

swirl of the lights, the

18:52

vaulting hamsters combined

18:54

for a hypnotizing effect.

18:57

Next, Lambden learned why he'd

19:00

had to assert so strongly

19:02

that he did not, in

19:04

fact, have an allergy to

19:06

sugar. The sleep

19:08

dragon eased to a

19:10

stop overlooking an enormous

19:12

metal bowl encircled by

19:15

three large crows. One

19:17

of the crows pulled a lever on

19:19

the bowl and it began to spin.

19:22

The sleep passengers leaned over the

19:24

left side of the coaster to get

19:26

a better look. Wisps

19:28

of pink billowed from a

19:30

central cavity in the bowl.

19:33

The crows took turns dipping

19:35

wooden sticks along the curve

19:38

of the bowl to catch

19:40

the wisps. What is that?

19:42

Lambden whispered, by golly, it's

19:44

cotton candy, cried the

19:46

theatrical turtle. The crows began

19:49

passing it out to the

19:51

passengers. Delicious. So sweet.

19:53

No, thank you. I don't want to get a

19:55

cavity, said a responsible gerbil.

19:58

Lambden Eagerly. That did

20:00

his cotton candy and they

20:03

sell good ones. Clouds is

20:05

candy were passed all around.

20:07

The crows bowed and waved

20:09

them on their way and

20:11

is asleep. Dragon rumble didn't

20:13

the night. Landing got

20:16

a few more bites

20:18

as his treats before

20:20

it vanished from his

20:22

house. Oh, eating them

20:24

Miles performances coms the

20:26

anxious passengers. To bear. Although

20:28

there were still some holdouts, I

20:31

would still like to be on

20:33

hand, It. Does

20:37

but up to this point

20:39

to sleep dragon seemed less

20:41

like a roller coaster then

20:43

and narrow open air train.

20:46

Lamb. General Long and for

20:49

something more like rocket

20:51

whoa the roller coaster

20:53

he'd written last summer

20:55

which took it's riders

20:57

through a series of

20:59

tight spirals. so he

21:01

was thrilled when the

21:03

seat dragons data and

21:05

began it's first real

21:07

Klein guess. We.

21:09

Hope you enjoy that delectable detour,

21:11

but now it's time to breathe

21:14

some fire into this journey. This

21:16

is what I was dragging. This

21:19

is what I was hoping for

21:21

as the sleep dragon made it's

21:23

way up the incline. Flashing as

21:26

it when lamb didn't couldn't make

21:28

out the shadows of the ferris

21:31

wheel and several a topsy turvy

21:33

right he wondered what the park

21:35

was like in daylight says animals

21:38

milling about. Our own.

21:40

A closer reached the

21:42

path of It's Klein,

21:44

the theatrical turtle. Same

21:47

did have some animals

21:49

squeeze their eyes shut.

21:51

Landon kept his eyes

21:53

open, wanderings vaguely how

21:56

this would ever put

21:58

him to sleep. For

22:00

a few seconds, the sleep

22:02

dragon was motionless at the topmost

22:05

point of the hill. Lambden

22:07

gazed out at the beautiful

22:10

starry night sky. It

22:12

felt as if he were part of

22:14

it, perching on a cloud. Then they

22:16

were off, rushing down

22:18

the drop. It

22:21

was glorious. The sleep dragon seemed

22:23

to pick up more and more

22:25

speed and Lambden

22:28

could see a loop zooming

22:30

towards them. He heard the

22:32

towering moose sounding

22:34

very far away. Get ready

22:37

for the sleep experience of

22:39

a lifetime. The

22:41

world was a blur as

22:43

the roller coaster hurtled upwards

22:45

again. Lambden was

22:47

weightless for the briefest moment

22:50

as the sleep dragon turned

22:52

completely upside down and and

22:58

the roller coaster came to

23:00

an abrupt halt Upside

23:03

down. The responsible gerbil,

23:05

too tiny to be held

23:08

by the lap bar, fell from

23:10

his seat plummeting downwards,

23:12

landing on a net

23:14

far below. I'm okay.

23:16

The towering moose's voice

23:18

crackled from the speakers.

23:20

Isn't this a fascinating little

23:23

interlude? All planned,

23:25

of course. Our

23:27

team of scientists assures me that

23:29

getting a healthy blood flow to

23:31

the upper regions of one's body

23:34

can improve sleep for the most

23:37

stubborn sleepers. We'll be

23:39

resuming our travels in just a minute

23:42

after our team of engineers take

23:44

the gander at the mechanics. All

23:47

routine of- Lambden couldn't focus

23:49

on the moose. He

23:52

felt the blood rushing to his

23:54

head as he dangled upside down,

23:56

pinned in place by a measly

23:59

lap- Somehow,

24:02

the sting in his cheek, which

24:04

he'd successfully put out of his

24:06

mind, burned anew. Everyone

24:10

was wide awake, bathed in soft

24:12

light from the moon, which, from

24:15

an upside-down vantage point, looked

24:17

less like a smile and

24:20

more like a frown. That's

24:22

when the bats attacked. What

24:25

is happening? This is all planned.

24:28

Why does it feel so

24:30

terrifying? Well, the bats didn't

24:33

quite attack. Oops, sorry. Didn't

24:35

mean to knock into you

24:37

there. The passengers slowly came

24:39

to understand that these uniformed

24:41

bats were meant to be

24:43

there. They had toolboxes and

24:45

serious expressions, and they quickly

24:48

went to work examining the

24:50

roller coaster. Peaceful music

24:52

drifted from the speakers, and the

24:55

towering moose pressed on, determined to

24:57

make sure everyone knew this was

25:00

100% a planned upside-down stop as

25:02

the bats fiddled with

25:07

the coaster. This is precisely

25:09

what we aim for at

25:12

the Sleep Crew, a break

25:14

from the wild motions of

25:16

life. It's imperative that

25:18

we stop in our tracks now and

25:21

then to get a

25:23

new perspective. And what

25:25

is a newer perspective than one that

25:27

is flipped entirely? We spend

25:29

so much of our time heads up, it's

25:32

crucial that we also get the

25:34

sense of what the world looks

25:37

like from Prom Fixed. One

25:39

of the bats called out, the rest

25:42

of them nodded. There was just a

25:44

loose, never mind, never mind that. The

25:46

moose trilled from her seat in the

25:48

first row. The bats

25:50

gathered their tools and fluttered

25:52

away. The Sleep Dragon

25:55

Passengers heaved a collective sigh of

25:57

relief. We're the Sleep Crew, hope.

26:00

The you enjoy that

26:02

frees planned stars and

26:04

we'd do hope it

26:06

gave you a new

26:08

and enriching perspective on

26:10

life. Know then as

26:12

they say, what goes

26:14

outside? don't know much.

26:16

Scum right side up

26:18

the coaster. Began.

26:21

To Move. Lamb.

26:23

Didn't sell the soothing warmth

26:25

as his beloved traveling from

26:28

his head, down to his

26:30

limbs As the sleep dragon

26:32

right it, it sells and

26:34

traveled a long as straight

26:36

away. Passengers. Started

26:39

yawning oddly. relax by

26:41

the upside down episode.

26:43

The Sleep Dragon went

26:45

swiftly along it's tracks

beneath the moonlit sky.

26:49

The stars bright against

26:51

the Dark knight. Land

27:04

Love Roller Coasters. And

27:07

27:09

Music drifted from the

27:12

speakers. And he

27:14

this content to slippers. To

27:16

sleep the thrills behind

27:19

him. But. Then

27:21

the sleep dragon began and

27:23

now they're climb gases. We

27:26

hope you enjoy this most

thrilling and most top secret

27:31

segments of our brand new

27:33

sleep experience. Oh no land

and mattered. The passengers around

27:38

him expressed their disapproval three

27:41

to skip this part and

27:43

go to sign on one

27:46

of the upside down again,

27:48

but the coaster continued. It's

27:51

climb again. The passengers had

27:53

a full view of the

27:56

amusement park. As they reach

27:58

the apex of the track, Man.

28:00

Get left out at the

28:03

gorgeous night sky. And.

28:06

Just as he sells though,

28:09

weightlessness at leeching the pinnacle

28:11

seemingly the highest points in

28:14

the whole park. He

28:16

got a look at the sliver

28:18

of moon. Which. Once

28:20

again, look playfully

28:23

crooked. Then. The

28:25

sleep dragon get into a

28:30

The poster seem to pick

up even more speed as

28:34

it travels up words moving

28:36

rapidly into yet another loop.

28:40

Do wish to be on

28:42

hand! The sleep dragon zoomed

28:44

into a spiral and just

28:47

as Landon and everyone else

28:49

was turned upside down once

28:51

more. It was

28:53

a bright flashing light. And

28:58

lambs and zoc. The entire ride
