This episode is brought to you by A LANGUAGE LELLA BYE. Tonight, we'll read a snooze cast plus Deluxe original story about a visit to a harvest festival by a grandfather and his two grandkids. They have a delightful afternoon of rides, games,

and treats before an evening fireworks display that they barely stay awake for.

We think you may have trouble staying awake for it too. Let's get cozy.

Close your eyes. Let's get cozy.

Close your eyes. Relax your body into the softness of your bed. Now, take a few deep breaths. As the sun reached its lazy autumn apex over the rolling hills of Brookhaven County, casting a bright warmth over the cool landscape. The annual harvest festival was coming to life for the day. Colorful banners bearing the festival's emblem of purple and gold, danced in the midday breeze.

And the air started to fill

with the irresistible aroma of kettle corn

and candied apples.

Laughter and the excited chatter of arriving families

mingled with the melodies of a distant accordion, creating a lively ambiance. The fairground was a vision of rustic charm. The carousel adorned with intricate wooden carvings shimmered in the sunlight, and the ferris wheel stood tall against the corn flower blue sky, promising a panoramic view of the picturesque county and lush metal lands. Stalls adorned with plump pumpkins, ripe apples, and handmade crafts lined the pathways.

Families meandered through the fair, their anticipation palpable. Against this backdrop of natural beauty and festive fervor, Lionel and Ruby's adventure was about to unfold, promising a day filled with discovery as their grandfather, Papi, gave their parents a momentary rest until the evening, where they would meet back at the monument after the grand finale fireworks. your oldyear-old Lionel, with his mop of chestnut curls and curious sparkling eyes, was the embodiment of youthful curiosity. His adventurous spirit was matched only by his endless questions, a covenant to his insatiable thirst for knowledge. Beside him was Ruby, a bundle of energy who bounced around with every step, like pinball that hit the bonus bumpers. At the tender age of six, she possessed a boundless enthusiasm that lit up the world around her. Guiding them through this maze of delights was their beloved Papi, a weathered and kindhearted figure with a crown of silver hair. Papi's eyes crinkled with wisdom and framed by laugh lines, held a treasure trove of stories and lessons. He was their beacon, their storyteller, their protector, and the sea of excitement. Hand in hand, the trio ventured forth, their voices harmonizing with the festive melodies.

As they weave through the crowd, Papi's steady presence provided a sense of security, allowing Lionel and Ruby to explore the fairgrounds wonders with wide-eyed awe. Deager footsteps carried them deeper into the fair grounds.

Myanel's eyes scanned the vibrant stalls. His mind already buzzing with questions. Ruby tugged at Pappy's hand, pointing at the towering Ferris Will was sheer delight.

Papi, with his infinite patience, at least for his grandkids,

led them towards the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked pies

where the siblings' eyes widened at the sight

of golden crusts and bubbling fillings.
