Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister Jim. Oh.
I was just getting ready for bed, are you as well?
Oh good, I hope you brushed your teeth and found
all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.

(00:27):
Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have
all those things ready, then it's time for our story.
But first we must close our eyes so that we
can travel to an imaginary world. Once upon a time,

(00:56):
in a far off land, there lived a little bunny
named Max. Max loved to play and hop around in
the fields, but at night he always had a hard
time falling asleep. Max the little bunny, would toss and

(01:17):
turn in his cozy bunny burrow, unable to quiet his
busy mind. One evening, as the sun set and the
stars came out, Max's mother suggested that he try counting
sheep to help him fall asleep. Max thought this was

(01:42):
a silly idea, but he was so tired that he
was willing to try anything, so he lay down in
his burrow closed his eyes. As Max began to count,

(02:03):
he found that the sheep were very hard to keep
track of. They just kept jumping over the fence, running
away and getting mixed up with each other. Max grew
frustrated and even more awake. Just as he was about

(02:26):
to give up, he heard a soft and gentle voice saying, Max,
why don't you try counting something that makes you feel
calm and happy. Max opened his eyes and saw a
beautiful butterfly perched on the edge of his burrow. Curious,

(02:47):
Max asked, but what should I count? The butterfly smiled
and said, oh, close your eyes and imagine yourself in
a peaceful grassy meadow. Listen to the gentle breeze blowing
through the grass and the sound of a nearby stream. Now,

(03:12):
imagine each blade of grass as it softly sways back
and forth, back and forth, count each one as it
moves in the breeze. Max did as he was told
and found that counting the blades of grass in his
mind was much more peaceful than trying to count those

(03:34):
silly sheepo. He soon felt himself getting drowsy, and before
long he was fast asleep. From that night on, whenever
Max the Bunny had trouble sleeping, he would close his

(03:57):
eyes and imagine himself in that peaceful meadow, and before
long he would be dreaming peacefully under the stars, in
the warm and cozy safety of his burrow. As our
story ends, little bunny Max fell into a deep, peaceful

(04:19):
slumber as the night passed by, and the next morning
Max woke up with a smile on his face, feeling
refreshed and ready to play. And so, whenever you find
yourself having trouble falling asleep the member the little bunny
named Max, and try counting something that makes you feel

(04:44):
calm and happy. Close your eyes with me now. Maybe
we could imagine a peaceful place, like a calm beach,
a peaceful forest with the wind wave the branches back
and forth. Maybe it's a still lake or the night

(05:07):
sky outside. Our imaginations may are endless. Let your mind
wander and count those things that bring peace and stillness
to you. Good night, friend, have sweet dreams. A B.
