| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends, and welcome to Sleeptight Stories. |
| 0:17.2 | It is a rainy day in today's story, and the birds are enjoying it. |
| 0:25.6 | They can't wait to look for worms. |
| 0:30.6 | Silver Tip and his little boy are also out, and the little boy helps the birds to stay safe. |
| 0:43.5 | A rainy day on the lawn. |

| 2:58.6 | they chirped cheerfully to each other and put on their waterproofs. |
