It's [1:00] Speaker 1: about Princess Willow and Blossom the Unicorn, who travel across [1:06] Speaker 1: a rainbow to the Garden of Wishes, where they make [1:10] Speaker 1: some magical friends. You will have such wonderful, creative imaginations, [1:19] Speaker 1: so do keep on sending your ideas to us. We [1:23] Speaker 1: love to hear them. To prepare our imaginations for this [1:29] Speaker 1: magical adventure, we need to warm them up. So make [1:34] Speaker 1: sure you're comfy, unsettled, and then take a big breath [1:42] Speaker 1: in through your nose and notice how your chest and [1:47] Speaker 1: belly rise up like a balloon. Then breathe back out [1:56] Speaker 1: and feel them deflate back down. Keep breathing like this [2:04] Speaker 1: nice and slowly to help you relax. And meanwhile, close [2:12] Speaker 1: your eyes and imagine the most wonderful land where princesses, unicorns, [2:20] Speaker 1: and all kinds of magical creatures live. This is where [2:26] Speaker 1: our story begins. [2:41] Speaker 2: Princess Willow lives in an enchanting land. This land is [2:48] Speaker 2: full of pretty forests and vibrant green fields. Many of [2:55] Speaker 2: the forests and fields are sprinkled with wild floss in [3:01] Speaker 2: every color of the rainbow. There are also long, winding [3:08] Speaker 2: rivers and gentle streams in this land. Many of these [3:15] Speaker 2: connect to waterfalls that flow over mossy rocks. In the water, [3:25] Speaker 2: little fish and friendly creatures swim and play between rocks [3:30] Speaker 2: and lily pants. The fish love to swim through the river, [3:38] Speaker 2: and sometimes they leap out of the water to peek [3:43] Speaker 2: at the fluffy clouds, sparkling rainbows, and magical forests around them. Today, [3:54] Speaker 2: Princess Willow is standing at the edge of the river [3:58] Speaker 2: near her parents castle. The castle is near a patch [4:04] Speaker 2: of the forest with soft soil, wild mushrooms and flowers [4:11] Speaker 2: that bloom in every season. Princess Willow watches as a [4:18] Speaker 2: fish jumps out of the water and flips in the [4:22] Speaker 2: air before splashing back down and swimming with the current. [4:30] Speaker 2: She watches as the fish catches up with its friends. [4:38] Speaker 2: Just then she hears a familiar sound behind her. It's [4:45] Speaker 2: the sound of Blossom's hooves, squishing into the soft soil [4:50] Speaker 2: with every step. Blossom is a unicorn, and she is [4:58] Speaker 2: Princess With's very best friend. They met years ago on [5:07] Speaker 2: a quiet afternoon in the forest. The day they met, [5:16] Speaker 2: Princess Willow was painting a picture of the river. When [5:20] Speaker 2: Blossom appeared. She began to drink from the flowing river. [5:29] Speaker 2: She did not notice the princess on the other side [5:33] Speaker 2: of the water, tucked behind a big rock with her [5:38] Speaker 2: paintbrush and easel. As Princess Willow painted, she added the [5:46] Speaker 2: beautiful white unicorn drinking from the water. Blossom had a [5:54] Speaker 2: silver maine that sparkled with colors of the rainbow, especially [6:00] Speaker 2: when the sunlight touched it. Her horn was shiny in silver, [6:08] Speaker 2: twisting up to the sky like a spiral made of [6:13] Speaker 2: pure magic. Blossom's coat was soft and snowy white, with [6:22] Speaker 2: a shimmer that made her look like she was dusted [6:26] Speaker 2: with tiny silver stars. Her hoofs sparkled too, leaving a [6:34] Speaker 2: little glittery prince wherever she stepped. Princess Willow really loved [6:43] Speaker 2: the unicorn's big, kind eyes. They were as bright as [6:50] Speaker 2: the moon, and the princess painted them in just that way. [6:58] Speaker 2: When she finished the painting, Princess Willow held it behind [7:03] Speaker 2: her back and tiptoed across the bridge to get closer. [7:11] Speaker 2: The unicorn stood quietly, her silvery mane and coat shimmering [7:17] Speaker 2: under the dappled sunlight that peeked through the trees. She [7:25] Speaker 2: quietly stepped up to Blossom, her heart fluttering with excitement. [7:33] Speaker 2: She held out the painting for the unicorn to see. [7:39] Speaker 2: The Unicorn's eyes lit up with joy. The picture sparkled [7:47] Speaker 2: in the sunlight, just like the unicorn. Then the unicorn's [7:54] Speaker 2: horn began to glow softly, a friendly sign that she [8:00] Speaker 2: loved the gift. The gentle shimmer of her coat seemed [8:07] Speaker 2: even brighter now, as if she was thinking Princess Willow [8:13] Speaker 2: in her own magical way. And from that day on, [8:19] Speaker 2: Princess Willow and Blossom were the very best of friends, [8:26] Speaker 2: sharing many magical adventures together in the enchanted land they [8:31] Speaker 2: call home. Now they meet each other in the forest. [8:39] Speaker 2: Gopher walks around the castle grounds, follow secret paths to [8:46] Speaker 2: fairy groves, and make wishes upon magical flowers. Today they [8:55] Speaker 2: are going on a little adventure to a water. Blossom [9:03] Speaker 2: had heard about an enchanted waterfall from some of the [9:08] Speaker 2: other magical creatures in the forest. She was sure Princess [9:15] Speaker 2: Willow would love to go on a new adventure together. [9:21] Speaker 2: So Blossom leads the way, following the river through the forest. [9:29] Speaker 2: The ground shimmers with dewdrops. Just then, a fluffy white [9:37] Speaker 2: bunny rabbit hops right past them. She is followed by [9:44] Speaker 2: two baby bunny rabbits. Princess Willow chuckles. She loves animals, [9:57] Speaker 2: especially the woodland creatures that travel through this land. Soon [10:05] Speaker 2: they reach a bend in the river where an old [10:09] Speaker 2: owl with fluffy gray feathers and bright wise eyes flies [10:16] Speaker 2: down to meet them. The owl hoots in especial language, [10:24] Speaker 2: giving Blossom directions toward the waterfall. They resume their journey [10:32] Speaker 2: following the owl's guidance. Soon they see a clump of [10:40] Speaker 2: bright red toadstools. They walk past them and turn left [10:49] Speaker 2: over a little mossy hill with slippery rocks and friendly insects. [10:57] Speaker 2: Blossom tells the princess that they must be close. The [11:04] Speaker 2: owl told her the water was on the other side [11:08] Speaker 2: of the mossy hill, and just like that, the forest [11:16] Speaker 2: begins to open up, revealing a shimmering waterfall. The waterfall [11:26] Speaker 2: flows into the river, and a mist rises up, creating [11:34] Speaker 2: a magical fog. But there is something all the more [11:41] Speaker 2: special about this place, a big, bright rainbow that wraps [11:49] Speaker 2: across the waterfall. It is the brightest, most vibrant rainbow [11:59] Speaker 2: Princess has ever seen. A ray of light shines on [12:07] Speaker 2: the ground, making the unicorn's main sparkle in all the [12:13] Speaker 2: vivid colors of the rainbow. Then Blossom's horn glows even brighter. [12:25] Speaker 2: With a graceful flick of her mane, Blossom creates a [12:31] Speaker 2: magical pathway that reaches all the way up the rainbow. [12:40] Speaker 2: Blossom bends down, and Princess Willow climbs onto her back. [12:49] Speaker 2: The princess holds onto Blossom's neck, and together they make [12:56] Speaker 2: their way onto the rainbow. As they walk on the [13:03] Speaker 2: colors of the rainbow, Princess Willow can sense the magic [13:10] Speaker 2: all around her. She can hear the shimmering sound of sparkles, [13:18] Speaker 2: and touch the fluffy clouds in their path. As she [13:25] Speaker 2: reaches out to feel the clouds, a big smile comes [13:31] Speaker 2: across her face. However, one of the most wonderful parts [13:40] Speaker 2: of walking on a rainbow is the view of the [13:45] Speaker 2: land below. She can see her parents' castle, the deep forests, [13:55] Speaker 2: the winding rivers, tall mountains, and even the little village [14:03] Speaker 2: with its cobbled streets and busy marketplace. Then she turns [14:12] Speaker 2: her head towards the end of the rainbow, but it [14:19] Speaker 2: doesn't lead back into the forest. Instead, she can see [14:27] Speaker 2: it curves down to a sparkling garden. There are trees [14:35] Speaker 2: with golden apples, flowers that change colors, and fairies wandering [14:44] Speaker 2: to and fro, sparkly misst lingers in the air like [14:53] Speaker 2: a magic spell. Of all the adventures that Princess Willow [15:01] Speaker 2: and Blossom have been on together, they have never visited [15:07] Speaker 2: anywhere quite like this. The princess thanks. Once they arrive [15:16] Speaker 2: in the garden, Blossom gently bends down, letting Princess Willow [15:23] Speaker 2: hop off her back. When the princess steps onto the [15:31] Speaker 2: soft garden soil, little sparkles fload up around her, face, [15:39] Speaker 2: making her feel light as a feather. Then the magic [15:48] Speaker 2: dust sticks to Blossom's hooves and they are both able [15:54] Speaker 2: to float off the ground to explore this secret garden. [16:02] Speaker 2: As they wander, a trail of sparkles follows behind them. [16:11] Speaker 2: What is most curious, however, is how the princess can [16:17] Speaker 2: hear little whispers of heartfelt wishes. I wish for a [16:28] Speaker 2: big garden with lots of yummy food. I wish for [16:37] Speaker 2: a baby's sister. I wish for a pet to explore [16:46] Speaker 2: the forest with. Soon enough, a tiny fairy with bright [16:54] Speaker 2: red hair and glowing wings arrives to greet them. The [17:03] Speaker 2: fairy flutters her delicate wings, which are full of color [17:10] Speaker 2: like the magical garden around them. She smiles that Princess [17:18] Speaker 2: Willow and Blossom, Welcome to the Garden of Wishes, the [17:26] Speaker 2: fairy tells them, her voice soft and sweet. Only those [17:35] Speaker 2: with pure hearts and a spirit of adventure can find [17:41] Speaker 2: their way here. You too, must be very special. Princess [17:50] Speaker 2: Willow's eyes widen with excitement the Garden of Wishes. The [17:59] Speaker 2: princess says, does that mean we can make a wish? [18:07] Speaker 2: The fairy nods and waves her tiny wand which has [18:13] Speaker 2: a golden star at the tip. Little sparkles begin to [18:21] Speaker 2: dance around them. Yes, of course, the fairy says, just [18:33] Speaker 2: close your eyes, think of your deepest wish, and it [18:40] Speaker 2: might come true. Princess Willow looks at Blossom, who nods [18:49] Speaker 2: her head and encouragement her horn, giving off a reassuring glow. [19:01] Speaker 2: The princess closes her eyes, holds her hands to her heart, [19:08] Speaker 2: and makes her wish. She wishes for happiness and joy [19:17] Speaker 2: to fill the enchanted land she calls home. She wishes [19:26] Speaker 2: for every creature and person to feel as much wonder [19:33] Speaker 2: and magic as she does now. After a few moments, [19:42] Speaker 2: she opens her eyes and the garden seems to shimmer [19:48] Speaker 2: more brightly. The fairy claps her tiny hands and tells [19:57] Speaker 2: the princess that she he made a beautiful wish. Blossom [20:08] Speaker 2: leans down, nuzzling the princess with affection. Together they take [20:19] Speaker 2: one last look at the magical garden, letting its beauty [20:27] Speaker 2: embrace them once more. Then, with the Fairy's guidance, they [20:37] Speaker 2: follow the path back up to the beautiful rainbow. The [20:46] Speaker 2: princess watches as the Sparkles stands off her shoes and [20:53] Speaker 2: return to the garden where they belong. Then the two [21:03] Speaker 2: happily head home. Princess Willow retreats to her wondrous castle [21:16] Speaker 2: and Blossom goes back to her cozy place in the forest. [21:27] Speaker 2: They say goodbye for now, each knowing they will always [21:33] Speaker 2: cherish their memories of the magical place, they just visit it, [21:44] Speaker 2: and from that day on, every time they see a [21:49] Speaker 2: rainbow in the sky, they remember the Garden of wishes [21:57] Speaker 2: and the joy of sharing magic, kindness and friendship withal. [22:08] Speaker 2: And so, thanks to Princess Willow and Blossomed, the unicorn, [22:16] Speaker 2: happiness began to grow everywhere in the land. The forest [22:27] Speaker 2: seemed greener, the rivers sparkled more brightly, children played in [22:37] Speaker 2: the open fields, and laughter filled the air. What unenchanted [22:50] Speaker 2: land after all? Shows are listed from Apple Podcasts' charts and directory, and Podcast Index where it is used.
