Welcome to bedtime stories for grownups, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai, my right and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens.

Our audio engineer is Bob Witterstein.

If you sometimes wish you could live in the village of nothing much.

Could stroll to the library on a blustery day.

Ride your bike to the end for a slice of coffee cake or browse at the bookshop downtown.

I've got a few suggestions.

We've got the coziest hoodies and t-shirts and stickers for sale.

Our book also called Nothing Much Happens has gorgeous illustrations that you can fall

right into.

And we have bonus and ad free episodes available all at nothingmuchappens.com.

Now I'm about to tell you a bedtime story.

It's simple and not much happens in it.

And that is the idea.

This story is a soft place to rest your mind.

A simple and pleasant way to occupy it so that it doesn't wander away when keep you up.

All you need to do is listen in a relaxed way.

Just follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple details of the story.

And soon, very soon, you'll be deeply asleep.

I'll tell the story twice and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

If you wake in the middle of the night, you could listen again.
