0:18:14 > 0:18:17My best friend is coming to visit me tomorrow,

0:18:17 > 0:18:20but I haven't decided where to take her yet.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23I was thinking maybe we could go shopping.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54lived a shimmer-shiny dragon named Sylvia.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59Sylvia loved her leafy home, but sometimes she felt sad.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04She had searched the whole world but never found any other dragons.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Sylvia was lonely.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09She gave a big blustery sigh.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12SHE SIGHS

0:19:12 > 0:19:17And there, under the leaves, was a small, surprised bird.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Bird was building a nest,

0:19:19 > 0:19:21and Sylvia thought she might be able to help.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Bird and Sylvia became friends.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Being together was so much fun.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Bird and Sylvia spent all their days together,

0:19:30 > 0:19:33just like friends do.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36But when Bird went to chit-chatter with the other birds,

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Sylvia felt alone.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42Bird belonged with the other birds, but Sylvia was different.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45She had no dragons to belong with.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Sylvia crept away.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49She gazed up at the night sky.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Maybe there were other dragons living on the moon.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54She could go and see,

0:19:54 > 0:19:56but the thought of leaving Bird

0:19:56 > 0:19:59made Sylvia feel sadder than ever.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02But Bird saw that Sylvia was unhappy.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03She had an idea.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06They would go to the moon together.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Off they set, racing through the clear blue skies,

0:20:09 > 0:20:13but as Bird and Sylvia whirled higher and higher,

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Bird grew cold and tired.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Suddenly, she began to tumble down, down, down

0:20:19 > 0:20:20through the clouds.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23With a cry, Sylvia swooped to catch her tiny friend

0:20:23 > 0:20:26and gently carried her home.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28And there they stayed,

0:20:28 > 0:20:32for Sylvia realised she didn't need other dragons to be happy.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36The best friend in the world was loving, loyal Bird.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42And that story was called Sylvia And Bird.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Maybe you'll dream about going on a special adventure

0:20:45 > 0:20:46with your best friend.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48I hope you have a good time.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Sweet dreams. Night-night!
