222. The Tunnel Trip!: a children’s bedtime story and meditation

Billy and Emily are going for another ride on the train. This time they're taking a tunnel trip! Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “The Tunnel Trip!” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 9:49 The Tunnel Trip! Excerpt: Billy and Emily waited patiently on the platform, eager for their second train ride.  Billy wondered what new lands they would see.  Emily hoped that they would get to go through the tunnel.  The sparkling train arrived with a gentle whirr.  Once it stopped, the doors slid open with a whoosh.  Emily and Billy stepped aboard, their parents following them on.  “Do you want to sit by the window this time?”  Emily asked, offering her brother the window seat.   “That’s OK Emily.  Go ahead.” Billy responded.   Emily shrugged her shoulders and slid over to the window, wondering why her brother wouldn’t take the window seat.  Billy smiled, knowing how much Emily enjoyed watching the scenery pass by.  Their parents smiled knowingly at each other and sat down in the seat behind them, once again.  Then the train slowly began to roll forward.   “We’re moving!” Emily exclaimed.   “We’re going up to the elevated tracks, just like last time.” Billy said.
