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.

Got a brand new story for you tonight from one of my personal favorite authors and one of the first authors we ever read on the Sleepy Podcast.

But before we get to the bedtime reading, I would just like to take a moment to thank all of our new patrons on patreon.com, which is a place you can go and pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version of Sleepy.

So, this week's incredible new patrons.

Leanne, Kimsey, Samantha, Sarah Grossman, Maria C, Mira Rattolochow, D, Penelope Riley, and Cresta Poole. Thank you all so, so much for being a part of making this show.

It really, really means a lot.

So thank you.

And for anyone who doesn't know, the names that I just read, they just became supporters

of the Sleepy Podcast on patreon.com, which is just a website that allows

you to directly support people who make the stuff that you like for amounts like a dollar

a month, $2 a month. At $5 a month, you get access to our poetry feed, which has a ton of episodes you've never even

heard before. But like I said, $2, it gets you access to the ad-free version of Sleepy.

And $1 means so much to me, any amount, and no matter how much you donate, even a dollar.

I'll read your name in the opening credits of the next show after you do.

So, if you would like to be a part of making this show too, like the names that I just read,

you can go to patreon.com slash sleepy radio.

Thank you. And as always, the music you sleepy radio. Thank you.

And as always, the music you're hearing is by my good friend James Likowski,

and the cover-up for Sleepy is by Gracie Canaan.

Tonight I have a story by Kenneth Graham.

If that doesn't immediately ring a bell.
