| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends, and welcome to Sleep Tight Stories. |
| 0:12.0 | Bernice is finally going to be able to sit down and work on her art for Mother's Day. |
| 0:29.2 | It has been a very busy week, and every time Bernice thinks she can get started, she is too tired, or there is something else to do. |
| 0:39.9 | When she finally gets started, cookie is nearby, and that is always a good sign. |
| 0:50.9 | Bernice and the ruined painting. |
| 0:57.3 | It was Saturday, and Bernice finally had some time to work on her art. |
| 1:04.6 | Not just any art, either. |
| 1:07.3 | She was making it painting for Mama, and she'd been trying to find time to do it all week. |
| 1:14.4 | How come the end of this school year is so busy? she muttered to herself. |

| 1:31.6 | By the time she got home, she'd been so tired that not even Papa's cookies could make a difference, |

| 1:57.4 | for Mother's Day with Papa's help, or making a card like she used to when she was |
| 2:02.5 | little. She'd even considered making breakfast, except that the last time she tried, the pancakes had |
| 2:11.5 | come out either too dry or too wet. Mama ate them anyway and said they were delicious, which was very mama of her. |
| 2:22.9 | Cookie was sitting beside the easel, which Bernice took as a good sign. |
| 2:28.2 | Cookie was her muse. |
| 2:30.8 | So what do you think so far? |
| 2:33.5 | I know it's just a sketch, but eventually, with your expert help, it's going to be a beautiful flower. |
| 2:41.8 | We paint flowers and stuff all the time in art class, so I'm pretty sure this will be great. |
