Summary: Anora and Blanka Bunny learn that working and playing are both important!<br> <br> Narrator: Male<br> <br> Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:48<br> Work and Play Excerpt:<br> Blanka Bunny, the stuffed plush toy bunny, woke up with a start. She had been sleeping in Anora’s bed, just like she had almost every night since she joined Anora’s family. She had been having a lovely dream about playing with Anora, when suddenly she was awakened by Anora’s voice shouting, “Yes, Daddy, okay! I’m doing it!”<br> <br> Blanka found herself being lifted off the bed and hurriedly carried around the room.<br> <br> “Sorry, Blanka! I have to clean up right now, really quick! Daddy and I are going the lake today but he said I have to clean my room first!” said Anora.<br> <br> Just then, Dad came into the room.<br> <br> “Anora, how’s the clean-up coming along?”<br> <br> “I’m almost done, Daddy,” she replied.<br> <br> “Are you sure? he said, smiling. “It still looks pretty messy to me.”<br> <br> “Daddy, why do I have to clean my room before we go to the lake? What does cleaning my room have to do with the lake?”<br> Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with warmth and love as you send your loving energy to the world.<br> Looking for stories with positive learning moments for your little one?
