Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleeptight Relax, a weekly bedtime show for kids who need a good sleep.

Tonight's story takes place in the heart of a mountain village, where Beta, a small and kind-hearted girl who

loves gathering flowers for those in need, lives. Her life changes when she meets Gregor,

a wise and gentle giant living high on the mountain.

Despite his physical limitations,

Gregor possesses immense knowledge and kindness,

which he shares with Beta and the villagers.

Over time, Beta learns from Gregor and brings his wisdom back to her village, helping to heal

and uplift her community. As the villagers come to know Gregor, they build a path to his cave,

enabling him to visit them and share his wisdom more easily.

Together they transform their village into a place of learning, kindness, and prosperity.

Beda grows up to spread Gregor's teaching far and wide, ensuring that his legacy of love and knowledge lives on in the hearts of many.

Before we listen to our story, let's get cozy and comfortable.

You can close your eyes if you'd like.

Let's take a moment for some deep belly breaths.
