Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleep Tight Relax, a calming bedtime show for the young

and young at heart.

In tonight's story, we return to the Three Rivers Forest, where we meet a young fox named Fiona.

When she was young, Fiona was a little shy and liked to stay close to her cozy den.

But one day, she started to wonder about the world outside.

She decided to take small steps to explore the forest and meet the other animals who lived there.

Fiona's curiosity led her to have adventures,

make new friends, and even make everyone laugh.

Before we get started with our story, let's take a few moments to relax.

Snuggle into your bed, getting as comfy as a fox in their den.

Imagine being surrounded by soft, warm moss and feathers, safe and snug.

Close your eyes gently.

Breathe in deeply through your nose, slowly counting to three.

Pretend you're smelling the fresh, clean air of the forest.

Hold your breath for a moment, enjoying the peacefulness.

Now open your mouth and breathe out slowly, counting to four.

Imagine blowing gently on a pile of leaves, watching them twirl away.

Each breath out takes away worries or busy thoughts, just like the wind carries leaves. With each breath

in, imagine you can hear the sounds of a forest, the soft movement of trees, the gentle flow of

rivers, and the distant sounds of friendly animals.
