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

In tonight's story, we meet the smallest of seven piglets who earns his unique name due to his loud and enthusiastic grunts. Despite his

small size, gruntie has a big appetite and a determined spirit. As he navigates the challenges of

getting enough food amidst his larger siblings,

Grunty discovers a secret way out of the pen.

His adventurous spirit leads him on a journey through Farmer Green's Orchard,

where he learns valuable lessons about determination and cleverness.

Before we start our story about grunty pig, let's take a moment to relax and get cozy.

Have you ever visited an apple orchard? An apple orchard is a special place where lots of apple trees grow.

People plant and take care of these trees so they can pick delicious apples when they are ripe and ready to eat.

Sometimes you can even visit them and pick your own apples to eat.

Imagine you are in your own peaceful apple orchard.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose,

filling your belly with air like grunties' big appetite.

Now, slowly breathe out through your mouth, letting all your worries float away like leaves in the wind.
