Ep 967. Sparkling Train Ride: a kids’ mindful tale and relaxation
James goes on his first ride on Ahway Island’s sparkling train!
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 3:55
Sparkling Train Ride Excerpt:
“Have you seen the train before?” their dad asked. Julia nodded. James shook his head.
“Let’s go watch it!” suggested Julia. They walked to a fence where they could see the tracks, and their dad picked James up so he could see over the fence.
Suddenly, the shiny blue train appeared, glittering in the sun like a sky full of stars. It slowed to a stop in front of the station. Some passengers got on the train, and some passengers got off the train. After a few moments, the train doors slid shut, and, silent as a whisper, the train sped up again, gliding along the track. James and Julia felt the breeze brush past their faces when the train whooshed by, giggling with delight.
