595: Eel Encounter: a nap time story and relaxation for kids

Sandy Seagull meets Mildred Moray Eel and tries to help her get back into her home but Sandy can't swim underwater. How will the little seagull help her new neighbor? Narrator: Male Story Begins: 4:50 Eel Encounter Excerpt: It was a bright sunny afternoon on Ahway Island. A few fluffy, white clouds dotted the brilliant blue sky. Below, the waters of Ahway Island Bay sparkled in the sunshine.   The seagulls of Ahway Island loved flying above the coral reef just outside Ahway Island Bay. In particular, Sandy Seagull loved landing gently in the shallow water around the reef, where she could lightly float to wherever the waves wanted to take her. If by chance the waves took Sandy too far, she would use her orange, webbed feet and swim back to the coral reef.
