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 Sleeptight Relax, a weekly bedtime show for anyone who needs good sleep.

In the tell-tale tile, Miss Bennett, an elderly woman with limited means, hears about her neighbor Mrs. Stanley's

financial troubles and decides to make a significant sacrifice by giving up her only luxury

tea to help her. This act of kindness starts a friendship with Mrs. Stanley's daughter Hetty.

As Christmas approaches, Miss Bennett surprises Hetty with a beautiful workbox filled with sewing supplies.

Later, Hetty discovers a hidden message in the workbox that leads to a discovery of a long-lost fortune, ensuring Miss Bennett's comfort and happiness.

Their friendship and unselfish acts of giving lead to a positive and happy ending.

Although this story is commonly told around Christmas, its theme of kindness, generosity,

and the power of selflessness resonates at any time of the year.

We originally told this story a number of years ago on our other podcast, Sleep Tight Stories,

but we have updated it to make it more suitable for you.

Before we continue with our story, let's make sure you are comfy and take some great big belly

breaths, breathing in slowly through your nose and slowly out through your mouth.

Notice how your belly rises as you fill yourself up with air.

Breathe in and breathe out.
