Welcome to Sleep Whispers.

I'm Harris, and I created this podcast to help you to de-stress, relax, and sleep.

So go ahead, lean back, put up your feet, and settle into my world of whispers.

I hope this episode distracts and relaxes your overactive brain squirrels.

All right, tonight's story is titled

The Man in the Butterfly by El Frank Baum.

It's about a mean man who really dislikes children, and he comes from a faraway land to America.

He has stolen a book of magic from his homeland,

and now in America, he compels a butterfly using this magical wizardry

to turn children into pigs.

Yeah, because he's a mean man.

The butterfly, though, isn't mean, and the butterfly has his own moral compass.

And so the butterfly only pretends to turn children into pigs.

But then one day the butterfly observes a little boy being cruel and must decide what to do about that mean little boy,

and also needs to decide what to do about the mean man who came from the far away land.

So this is just a teaser summary of the story

to help you focus your mind on the start of the story,

and then hopefully you will drift off to sleep

before you even hear the ending.

Time for a quick break.
