Hello, friends. Have you checked out our new channel on Apple Podcasts? Over the past few years,

Clark and I have worked hard to bring you stories and science content that entertains and

educates while helping your little ones relax and drift off to sleep.

On our new channel, you'll find ad-free episodes, bonus stories, and for the first time,

classic tales, presented just as they were meant to be heard, one chapter at a time.

It's a wonderful way to experience these timeless stories together, helping to make bedtime

a cozy, shared adventure. Look for Sleeptight Media on Apple Podcasts, and let's make bedtime the best part of the day.

Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleep Tight Relax, a calming bedtime podcast for the young and young at heart.

It's time to get cozy in bed and listen to tonight's story.

Our sleep story tonight is part three of the magic soap bubble.

Ned has helped the king with one of his problems, and now he needs to do one more thing

so he can get his bags of gold.

After he has finished, he heads off into the forest and meets a giant.

Ned chops down part of the forest, and then he and the giant sit down together,

while Ned tells him the story of Puss and Boots.

After that, they head off to the Giants' home, where they start a challenge.

If you are laying down, warm and secure in your bed, let's start with taking some deep belly breaths.

If you aren't yet in bed, or maybe you are just taking some time to relax, that is okay too.

Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. That is okay too.

Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose.

As big a breath as you can and as slowly as you can.

Then slowly let the air out through your mouth.
