Ep 907. Morning Mystery: a guided meditation and kid’s story

16 minutes

Wilbur Dog hears a mysterious noise outside and is determined to investigate!

Narrator: Male

Story Begins: 3:54

Morning Mystery Excerpt:

It was a peaceful morning on Ahway Island. A cool breeze slipped around the drapes and into the bedroom. The wind flowed over the bed, filling the room with the scent of freshly-fallen leaves. On the bed, Wilbur, a big brown dog with floppy ears, stretched his legs and gave a long, contented sigh. He was happy. But suddenly, a sound interrupted the peace. Thunk!

Wilbur’s ears twitched. He opened one eye, then the other. What was that noise? The dog lifted his head and listened closely, but all was quiet once again. Nothing seemed to be amiss, so Wilbur lay his head back down on the bed again.
