Summary
Tonight's storytelling is a classic tale called 'The Elderbush' by Hans Christian Anderson followed by a guided bedtime relaxation to help you drift off peacefully. This heartwarming tale is about a little boy who becomes sick with a cold, his mother puts him to bed and prepares for him some Elder flower tea to help him warm up. In the mean time, an old neighbor stops by to visit and tells the little boy the most wonderful story. If by the time the story comes to an end, you are still awake, the guided bedtime relaxation will help relax more deeply as you prepare to drift off into a restful sound sleep.
So...lights out! And...sweet dreamzzz...
