Hello and welcome back to Coco Sleeve, a podcast of original children's bedtime stories

and meditations designed to make bedtime a dream.

Before we get going, here's a big cheery wave and a hello to today's special Coco Club

members. That's you, Eleanor, Kaisley, McKenna, Theo, Mary, David, Oliver and Ava.

Tonight's story stars an animal that has always intrigued me. They are known for moving

very slowly on land and sleeping in trees, but they are also wonderfully elegant swimmers.

They sleep a lot, although slightly less than koalas, and they seem to always have an

enigmatic smile on their little faces, like they've just thought of something really mischievous.

Do you ever wonder what sloths are thinking about? Well, soon I think we're going to learn

a lot about what one particular sloth has on his mind. Tonight's story is inspired by a listener.

Now, I'm not sure if I'm saying this right. Skedy if? Skedy who suggested we write a story

about a sloth who really wants to play soccer, but everyone says he's too slow.

Well, Eddie, I'm going to hazard a guess from looking at your username that you might be

called Eddie. We thought that your idea was so brilliant. Alicia has worked her magic on it

to bring it to life. I really hope you enjoy it. Before we begin, a quick message for the grown-ups.
