Narrator: Oh! Hi! Sorry about that. I was just catching up on some sleep.
That's because today ... is the day to get more sleep!

What? You didn't know? 你不知道嗎? Today is the Festival of Sleep Day!
你不知道嗎? 今天是睡覺日! 就是要多睡的日子.

Festival of Sleep Day is supposed to be a day for catching up on sleep after
the busy Christmas and New Year holidays!

Actually, every year, there are a lot of international days to enjoy.
每年都有很多好玩的節日! Some are great, some are funny… and some are just
strange!

Here are my top 5 International Days!

** Number 5! ***

Coming in at number 5 is International Friendship Day! July 30th -
七月三十，國際友誼日 - is the day to remember how great your friends are!
記得朋友很重

** Number 4! ***

World Smile Day is the first Friday of October! Did you know you can trick
your mind into feeling better just by smiling? 微笑可以改變心情! Give it a
try!

** Number 3! ***

November 19th, and Number 3 on the list, is World Toilet Day! (sfx: flushing
toilet) 世界馬桶日! Because when you gotta go … you gotta go!

** Number 2! ***

The first Saturday of February is Ice Cream for Breakfast Day! I don't even
think I need to explain this one, do I? Everyone likes ice cream, right?

And how can we make ice cream even better? Have it for breakfast!
早餐就吃冰淇淋不錯吧! Next!

** Number 1! ***

Number 1! We've already talked about it. My favorite international day of the
year is today. The Festival of Sleep Day.

The Festival of (yawns) Sleep Day (slows way down) is my favorite ... because
I can ... just lay down … and get... some... extra... slee… (sighs).
