Gus Goldfinch discovers a rooftop window and decides to have some fun! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 4:03 Finch Fun Excerpt: Gus flew over a neighborhood he visited quite frequently. He saw familiar houses. Many neighbors were out and about on this beautiful day. Kids played in their backyards. Adults hung their laundry to dry or grilled on the barbecue. Gus smiled to see the way everyone was enjoying the nice weather. As he flew, a glint caught Gus’s eye, something he had never noticed before in all the times he’d soared over this neighborhood. There, on the roof of a little brick house, was something shiny and round. It looked smooth, almost like a tiny pond, but with no water and no ripples. Just a gleam of reflected sunlight.

Helen and her friends Brianna and Rogelio are painting together, but painting can get messy. 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 “A Creative Mess,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 8:30 A Creative Mess Excerpt: Helen stopped painting for a moment to admire her art. She was painting a picture of her house, her family, and her dog. A big, bright orange sun lit up the upper right corner of the painting. Green grass dotted with flowers filled the yard in the front of the house. To the side of the house, Helen had painted her family and her dog. Painting people and animals was more difficult than houses and flowers, Helen thought. But still, she was pleased with how everything was looking. She especially liked that her house in the painting had a bright red door. In real life, her house’s door was brown. Helen always wanted to have a bright red front door, but her parents didn’t think that was necessary. But that’s one reason why Helen liked painting so much — she could make things whatever color she wanted! If she wanted a blue sun and a purple moon, then she would paint a blue sun and a purple moon! Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

When the contractor announces the day’s project, Constance the concrete mixer repeats the same spinning thoughts in her mind. How will she get unstuck? Narrator: Male Story Begins: 4:24 Spinning Thoughts Excerpt: Constance heard footsteps outside the garage door. The garage door began to rise with a low rumble, letting the sunshine in. When her driver opened her door and started her engine, Constance could barely contain her excitement. She couldn’t wait to learn what today’s assignment was. She was pretty sure she’d heard the contractor say that they would be making a driveway today. Driveways were one of Constance’s favorite projects. Constance felt her wheels gently turn as her driver guided her outside. Soon, the sound of more engines filled the yard as other construction vehicles were guided out of their garages. Dory and Drevan, the dump trucks, rolled up beside Constance. Today’s Meditation: Picture floating in the safe and comforting waters of a tranquil pool.

Daichiki Dolphin makes a surprising new friend in the Ahway Island cove! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:40 Floatie Friend Excerpt: Daichiki Dolphin drifted near the surface of the water, watching the light dance beneath him. The sunshine made beautiful patterns that twinkled on the sandy bottom. Feeling energetic, the little dolphin twirled in a circle and then did a flip, leaping out of the water. When he came back down with a splash, Daichiki looked around to see if anyone saw his neat trick. Nope. No one seemed to be watching. Daichiki peered over to where his dolphin pod liked to rest. Sure enough, most of his friends were relaxing. Some were floating peacefully with their eyes half-closed, while others were slowly paddling in sleepy circles.

Well, Dragon had gotten their wish – it was a snowy day. In fact, it was so snowy that the entrance to the cave was completely blocked!

A family of geese is flying home to Ahway Island for the spring. They sing songs together together to keep each other entertained. 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 “Songs in the Air,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 9:34 Songs in the Air Excerpt: White puffy clouds dotted the pale blue sky. The air was starting to warm as a soft breeze blew across the sky. Now that the weather was getting warm and spring was on its way, many large flocks of geese were flying back to their summer homes on Ahway Island, after spending the winter months in other places. There were many geese families amongst the flocks. Each family flew in the shape of the letter “V,” which made it easier for the younger geese to fly for long distances. The wind was strongest at the front of the “V,” so usually one of the parents would fly in the front, and then the children would fly behind.

Babette Bunny and Peanut Squirrel go to check on the chestnut seed they planted a few weeks ago. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 4:13 Kindness Takes Root Excerpt: Babette loved springtime. She loved Summer, Autumn, and Winter, too – but Spring! Spring had a special magic to it. Birds sang cheery tunes, celebrating their return from a winter vacation. Colorful, fragrant flowers bloomed all around. Streams babbled and bubbled, full of rainwater from the spring showers. New green growth pushed up everywhere in the forest, reaching toward the warm sunshine. Everything felt fresh and alive. Seeing the short, green sprouts poking up from the ground jogged Babette’s memory. She remembered the special morning months ago when she, Peanut squirrel, and Odin owl had planted a tiny chestnut seed in the open field by the creek. They had tucked it into the soft earth, gave it a drink of water, and whispered kind words, hoping it would grow big and strong.

Wilbur Dog hears a mysterious noise outside and is determined to investigate! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:54 Morning Mystery Excerpt: It was a peaceful morning on Ahway Island. A cool breeze slipped around the drapes and into the bedroom. The wind flowed over the bed, filling the room with the scent of freshly-fallen leaves. On the bed, Wilbur, a big brown dog with floppy ears, stretched his legs and gave a long, contented sigh. He was happy. But suddenly, a sound interrupted the peace. Thunk! Wilbur’s ears twitched. He opened one eye, then the other. What was that noise? The dog lifted his head and listened closely, but all was quiet once again. Nothing seemed to be amiss, so Wilbur lay his head back down on the bed again. Today’s Meditation: Imagine that you are a graceful willow tree in today’s meditation.
