My name's Andrew. Thanks for joining me.

Tonight I'll be reading Part 6 of Pollyanna, chapters 12 to 14.

In the previous chapters, Polyanna had made firm friends with Mrs. Snow, who after some persistence began to play the glad game with her.

Pollyanna also brought home a stray cat and dog, which Miss Polly helplessly allowed.

But after bringing home a young orphaned boy, Miss Polly refused to take him, but Pollyanna promised that she would speak

to the local ladies' aid for him and was sure that he would find a home there.

Now that we're caught up with the story so far, let's get ourselves ready for sleep. Start by taking a deep,

relaxing breath and settle your body in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind, and simply follow the sound of my voice.

So let your eyes fall heavy and your breath soften as we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep.
