Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

We are bringing you an encore episode tonight, meaning that this story originally aired at some

point in the past. It could have been recorded with different equipment

in a different location.

And since I'm a person and not a computer,

I sometimes sound just slightly different.

But the stories are always soothing

and family-friendly, and our wishes for you are always soothing and family-friendly,

and our wishes for you are always deep rest and sweet dreams.

Busy minds need a place to rest.

I've written you a soft landing,

a simple story to rest your attention on.

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

Just by listening, you'll shift your brain activity and put yourself in a place where sleep will come.

If you wake in the night, you can listen again, or think through any parts that you can remember.

Your brain will shift again and you will fall right back to sleep.
