Hello, friends. Have you checked out our new channel on Apple Podcasts? Over the past few years,

Clark and I have worked hard to bring you stories and science content that entertains and

educates while helping your little ones relax and drift off to sleep.

On our new channel, you'll find ad-free episodes, bonus stories, and for the first time,

classic tales, presented just as they were meant to be heard, one chapter at a time.

It's a wonderful way to experience these timeless stories together, helping to make bedtime

a cozy, shared adventure. Look for Sleeptight Media on Apple Podcasts, and let's make bedtime the best part of the day.

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 young prince gets lost in an enchanted forest and stumbles upon a mysterious palace,

where he unknowingly enters the service of a powerful magician.

With the help of a magical black horse, the prince escapes the magician's clutches, sets out on a daring adventure,

and ultimately wins the heart of a princess.

Along the way, he discovers the true meaning of bravery, loyalty, and love, leading to a happily ever after.

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

Close your eyes if you like and take a deep breath in through your nose.

Feel the cool, fresh air fill your lungs.

Now slowly breathe out through your mouth.

As you breathe out, imagine you're gently blowing a soft

breeze through a forest, making the leaves rustle. Take another deep breath in, this time

picture the air filling you up with warm golden light.

Feel it spread throughout your body, making you feel calm and safe.
