It’s time for a friendly race!Narrator: FemaleStory Begins: 3:31A Friendly Race Excerpt:They sailed smoothly across the shimmering water, farther and farther out to sea. Luis felt the cool sea air ruffle his hair and the salty ocean spray on his cheeks.Mr. deSouza pointed ahead. “Look there – another sailboat,” he said.“Dad! Can we race them?” Eddie asked.Mr. deSouza smiled and winked in response, then began angling the sail so it could catch a bit more of the breeze. The boat began gliding toward the other sailboat, faster and faster. They zipped across the waves, rolling over the crests and splashing down in the valleys.Today’s Meditation: Imagine drawing gentle shapes in the soothing sand as you relax before today’s story.Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.As a listener-supported podcast, we truly appreciate our members on Patreon.
