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 welcome to Sleep Tight Relax, a cozy bedtime show designed for kids, but perfect for sleepers of all ages.

So snuggle up, get comfy, and let's drift into a peaceful bedtime together.

Tonight's story is most often told around Thanksgiving,

but it's great for any time of the year.

In our story, five grandchildren visit their grandparents' farm for the holiday.

As they explore the farm, playing with animals and discovering new places,

they climb onto the roof of a shed, only to find themselves stuck when the ladder falls.

After calling for help, their grandfather comes to the rescue just in time for a delicious

Thanksgiving dinner.

So why don't you lie back in bed, close your eyes if you like, and get cozy and comfortable.

As we often do before bed, we'll take some deep breaths.

Use your wonderful imagination to imagine you're on a big, peaceful farm, just like the one in our story.

The air is fresh, the sun is shining, and you can smell fallen leaves and fresh apples.

While on the farm, you'll spend time with your family, just like the characters in our story.

Think about how special it feels to be with the people you love, your family, or friends.
