Hello friends and welcome to Sleep tight stories.

I'd like to say hello to some friends. Hello to Jace and Manolo from Oregon. Hello to Julia and maybe in California. Hello to Arav and Om and hello to Kaya Johnson.

Thank you so much for supporting us.

This is part 7 of Tinkle's story. If you have not listened to the other episodes, you might want to go back and listen to them.

Tinkle is a pony that has gone from living on a stock farm with his family to a smaller farm where he takes George and Mabel for rides.

They love him dearly and can't wait to spend time with him.

Tinkle is enjoying himself at his new home. He is learning tricks, trying new foods and meeting new people.

In this episode, Tinkle continues to learn more tricks. But when the family goes away, something happens.

Tinkle the trick pony, part 7.

That's fine, cried George, as Tinkle, after having jumped over the stick, came trotting up to get the sugar. Soon you'll be as good as died all the dancing bear.

Well, I guess I did pretty well for a beginner. Thought Tinkle to himself as he crunched the sugar in his strong white teeth.

Now I hope they will leave me alone or else drive me hitched to the cart or ride on my back.

But George and the coachmen were not yet through with Tinkle. They wanted to be sure he understood how to do the trick.

So they set up the stick again. And George held out more sugar.

This time the pony knew what to do at once and with a bound over the stick he went.

Oh, I want Mabel to see this, cried George, come on out, he called to a sister.

Come on out and see Tinkle do a trick.

Mabel was as pleased as was her brother. She too held out the sugar and Tinkle came to her as he had to George leaping over the stick.
