Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleep Tight Relax,

a weekly bedtime show for kids who need a good sleep.

In tonight's story, a wise ruler challenges their three children to find the most extraordinary dog,

with a promise that the winner will inherit the throne.

The youngest child, full of curiosity and kindness,

embarks on an adventure that leads to a mysterious castle, ruled by a beautiful

white cat. Over the course of a year, the young traveler and the white cat form a deep bond

as they prepare for the rulers' increasingly difficult challenges.

Along the way, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, loyalty, and the importance of kindness.

As the final test approaches, the white cat reveals her true identity,

and the young traveler discovers that sometimes the greatest rewards come from unexpected places.

Before we get started with our story, take a moment to get cozy, comfortable, and relaxed.

Wiggle into your favorite spot, whether it's under the covers, on a soft pillow, or cuddled up with your favorite stuffed friend.

Now, let's take a deep breath in through your nose, hold it for a moment, and slowly breathe out

through your mouth.
