Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

Tonight, a really lovely childhood story by Margaret Sidney that you're really going to love.

And before we get to the bedtime reading tonight, I would like to just profoundly thank all of our brand new patrons

on patreon.com, which is a website where you can pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version

of Sleepy. So, this week's amazing new patrons, Dylan Lancaster, Jen Stoker, Carol Ward, Paul Woodard, Suzanne Gersner, Terry Buchanan, and Deb

Schechter. Thank you all so, so much for being a part of making this show. It means so much to me. Thank you.

And for anyone who doesn't know, all these names that I just read are brand new supporters

of Sleepy on patreon.com, which is just a really great place where you can directly support people

who make the stuff that you like.

So if you like Sleepy, maybe it's given you a better night's rest,

maybe it's even become part of your nightly routine,

then you can be a part of making that show by going to patreon.com slash Sleepy Radio

and donating even a dollar a month.

At $2, like I said, you get an ad-free version of the show.

$5, you get access to our poetry feed with all kinds of episodes you've never heard before.

But even a dollar, it just goes such a long way for me. And those are

the majority of our patrons, just one dollar a month. And it really means a lot. Makes it possible for me to

do this kind of stuff for a living. And, um, yeah, I would love to have you be a part of it.

Patreon is also just a nice place to come by and say hi.

So, if you want to be a part of making this show, you can go to patreon.com slash sleepy radio.

Thank you.
