| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another bonus episode of Sleep Whispers, an extra treat for my Soak Plus members. |
| 0:11.8 | Tonight's story is The Garden of Paradise by Hans Christian Anderson. |
| 0:20.9 | Here is a summary |
| 0:24.8 | before I read the story to you. |
| 0:30.3 | It begins with a prince |
| 0:33.8 | who has heard about a land that is filled with beautiful flowers, |
