00:13By Nicholas Heller
00:15Or Annabeth
00:17The dog was asleep
00:19And the cats were asleep
00:21The fish were asleep
00:24And the bird was almost asleep
00:27As she looked through the keyhole flew Mathilda the Dream Bear
00:31She landed silently on the carpet
00:33Took off her mittens and boots
00:35And set off on a trip to across the living room
00:38Soon she came to the dog
00:41Hello dog
00:43She whispered
00:45I have a fine dream for you tonight
00:47And she waved her wand underneath the dog's nose
00:50Suddenly the dog began to dream
00:53He was the guest of honor at a huge banquet
00:56All the neighborhood dogs were there
00:58And all the neighborhood cats in jackets and bow ties
01:01Were running back and forth from the kitchen
01:04Bringing them roasts and stews and steaks and chops
01:08The dog dreamed of eating and eating as much as he wanted
01:12Mathilda flew across the room to where the cats were sleeping
01:16Good evening cats
01:19Mathilda whispered
01:21I have a dream for you too
01:23She brushed her wand gently against their whiskers
01:26The cats began to dream
01:29They were the lead dancers in a ballet
01:32They leapt and pirouetted
01:34And the audience applauded
01:37Mathilda flew over to the fish tank
01:40She tapped her wand softly on the glass
01:44And the fish began to dream too
01:47They were swimming along the bottom of the ocean
01:49And they saw a sunken ship
01:52They swam through one of the portholes
01:54And there was a mermaid with a harp playing beautiful music
01:58As the fish listened to the mermaid
02:01Mathilda quietly looked on the little man build
02:05And was just about to fly through the blue hole
02:08When she heard a loud whisper
02:10Hey! It was the bird
02:13What about me? he said
02:16Don't I get a dream?
02:18I am sorry
02:20Said Mathilda
02:22I didn't see you up there on your perch
02:25Of course I have a dream for you
02:27We could even have one together
02:30I need some sleep too
02:32So Mathilda lay down on the perch
02:35After a while they dozed off
02:37And this is what they dreamed
02:39They were flying through the moonlit night
02:41Higher and higher above the earth
02:44Until they were flying in outer space
02:46Higher than anyone had been before
02:49Just before dawn, Mathilda woke up
02:52She slipped quietly off the perch
02:55And leaving the animals to finish their dream
02:58She vanished through the blue hole
03:01The End
