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

and meditations designed to make bedtime a dream.

This story tonight is a real treasure because if you've seen the title, you'll think you'll know what it's about but it's not the classic fairy tale you might have heard before.

Instead, I'm happy to reveal that this version of the three little pigs is a heartwarming tale full of surprising friendships, some of the most mouthwatering hospitality

and plenty of gentle kindness.

Before we begin, a quick message for the grownups.

Before we settle down to listen, just try closing your eyes gently and picture your home.

In fact, as you lie there, think about something in your home that you really love.

It can be anything, a person, a toy, a pet, a room.

Anything that brings warmth and happiness to you when you settle your thoughts on it.

Now take a deep breath in and let it out.

Keep thinking about the things you love about your home and relax further as I begin to night's tale,

which is really a big celebration of home and friendship.

Now it's time to hear a tale about a wolf who is looking for somewhere new to live.

As he wanders through a forest, he meets three kindhearted pigs who help him on his quest.

This is The Three Little Pigs by Jillian Rodgerson.
