welcome to get sleepy where we listen we relax and we get sleepy as always I'm your host Thomas I hope this new week is off to a good start for you tonight's story will be read by Simon and was written by Joe it's the first in a two-part series about a Charming family who have a unique perspective on life the pocket family are so minuscule in size but they live unnoticed by the humans whose home they occupy to the pockets an ordinary object like a television seems as enormous as a mountain very soon we'll Join This Charming family looking on as they navigate our world much larger than they are so let's get comfortably settled in ready to hear our story you may already be lying in a position that feels just right for you but if you need to make any adjustments there's no harm in doing so when you're ready bring your attention to the flow of your breath in in and out of the body that natural and familiar Rhythm that we can count on as our gateway to peace and calm just notice the air as it enters the nostrils [Music] feeling that very subtle sensation of coolness on its way in and then since the warmth of the air as it flows back out with the gentle release [Music] try to breathe in deeply and just hold that nourishing breath to Your Heart Center for a couple of seconds release it back out warm and soothing foreign as you inhale and briefly hold to the breath that your heart wants more just imagine that air warming within you and bringing Comfort to your heart as you release it any burdens or troubles can flow out and melt away [Music] because our breathing is such a natural process it's easy to take each inhale and exhale for granted but it's the natural inherent process of the breath which also makes it the simplest medicine for our bodies and the easiest Gateway to peace and calm so continue to breathe deeply holding the peace as it warms your heart then letting go of anything disruptive as you exhale there's nothing else you have to do now simply remain aware of your breathing as you relax more and more [Music] while you do we can begin tonight's story [Music] I'll Make Way for Simon as now it's time to meet the pockets the pocket family are sound asleep on the kitchen windowsill they're hidden behind boxes piled high on the counters they've made themselves very comfortable here among the cloths and cleaning products Mr and Mrs pocket known affectionately as Ma and Par lie side by side they're tucked within the folds of a dusting cloth ma is snoring and every time she exhales the yellow fabric rises in the air next to her par sleeps deeply an expression of peace and contentment on his face nearby the pocket children sleep just as soundly both Matilda and Joe have made their beds within the Wisps of a feather duster so large and fluffy that it's like sleeping on a cloud of course the family don't usually sleep on the kitchen windowsill among cloths and cleaning supplies [Music] for years they slept in their own secret bedrooms hidden in an old tissue box at the back of a kitchen cupboard [Music] there they lived in Blissful Solitude for many years they rarely ever glimpsed the elderly couple who owned the place or indeed any humans at all [Music] but last month the moving van arrived every cupboard was cleared out including theirs as the elderly couple hacked everything into cardboard boxes [Music] all of a sudden the pocket family had lost their old home [Music] but they weren't too worried they saw it as an opportunity for adventure and exploration and an exciting new chapter in their family story first they decided there should be a temporary move to the kitchen windowsill while the new human family settled in it was Parr who chose the windowsill he thought it might be useful to sleep beside the window and be woken by natural daylight in the morning this way they would all be awake early long before the humans they'd have the house to themselves for a few hours talk and eat freely and even wash in the kitchen sink it would also give them time to move into one of their countless tiny hideouts before the humans were up and about [Music] and that's exactly what the pockets have been doing over the past month they've been observing the new homeowners from behind boxes underneath furniture and through cracks in the skirting board like the previous residents these new humans are a family of two they're called the Grangers as a mum in her in early 30s and a very Smiley five-year-old daughter the Grangers have many friends kind people who have spent the last month helping to move furniture paint walls and unpack various new objects around the house [Music] according to Matilda pocket this is proof that the granges are nice people they must be nice to have so many friends willing to help them out the rest of the pocket family agrees they've overheard conversations between the mother and daughter the granges seem to be some of the most kind and gentle humans that the pockets have ever encountered at bedtime the mother sits at the edge of her daughter's bed reading stories until the girl falls asleep then the Mother tucks her into the bed sheets kisses her forehead and tiptoes softly out of the room pocket children are often a secret audience for these Matilda and Joe sit comfortably on a nearby Shelf resting against the books they love to listen to these soothing Tales then back on the kitchen windowsill climb into the cloud-like feather duster and fall asleep although the pockets didn't plan their stay on the windowsill it actually worked out rather well for them in many ways the last month has felt like an extended family holiday the windowsill is the ideal vacation spot they've dined like royalty on takeaways left on the kitchen counter and they've enjoyed access to a constant supply of fresh water from the taps [Music] their bedding may be unconventional but it's a soft and comfortable as the sheets in any five-star hotel Mar and Parr have grown particularly fond of their velvety dusting cloth with its sense of lemon and lavender but they all agree that the best thing about their new home on the windowsill is the reason power suggested it in the first place they love the sheer beauty of the light radiating through the window particularly beautiful now that Dawn as the sun begins to rise soft light disperses through the glass [Music] casts a golden Sheen across the family's sleepy faces warming their skin with its Gentle Touch [Music] the Sill each member of the family begins to stir they Shuffle in their bedding and stretch their arms and legs Joe is the first to get up he's the tallest of the bunch Joe yawns happily stretching his arms above his head then he reaches down towards his toes feeling the stretch through his back and legs finally he sits down cross-legged to admire the sunrise through the kitchen window it's the kind of moment that anyone would appreciate watching the sun rising through a clear blue sky but having spent a lifetime waking in the back of a dark cupboard Joe particularly appreciates this View so do the rest of the pockets who soon come to sit beside him [Music] recently this has become their morning ritual they climb out of bed sit facing the glass and look out at the sunrise together they watch as the massive orb of Golden Light slowly inches upwards in the sky it gradually reveals the Natural Beauty at the back of the house there's a rectangular lawn bordered by rose beds with a stone fountain at its Center beyond the grass stands a typical wooden shed painted the same chestnut red as the fence that encloses the space to humanize seems like an attractive yet ordinary Garden put the tiny people on the windowsill see it differently through their eyes everything is elevated in in size and grandeur the garden becomes a kingdom protected by the soaring fences that stretch up towards the sky [Music] a shed is like a massive Royal Palace a vision of chestnut red magnificence shimmering in the sunlight and in front of the palace there are the Royal Gardens it's a vast landscape of emerald Countryside flanked on either side by rose bushes as tall as trees they look like an enchanted forest canopy sprinkled with ruby-like blooms it's a spectacular sight and what stands out above all else is the garden's most recent Edition the ivory fountain at its Center at the top water spills from the tip of a beautiful stone pineapple cascading downwards into a large round basin [Music] spacing allows the water to spill over its sides flowing into an even larger pool below It's A Feast for the eyes [Music] for the pockets this Splendid Fountain looks enormous Like An Egyptian pyramid this morning the pockets sit by the window and admire the fountain meditating on its sound to human ears it's a calm trickling sound but to the pockets it's a series of magnificent gushing waterfalls the fountain is like their very own Niagara Falls right outside the window [Music] as the sun rises patterns of light bounce on the water resembling sparkling diamonds the site is so beautiful that par feels inspired turning to his wife and children he says that even after they leave the windowsill he hopes they'll return here often once the sun has risen the family slipped down from the sill one by one making their way past the kitchen sink they often have showers in the sink taking it in turns to climb down the plug chain and stand beneath the dripping tab [Music] there's nothing quite like that cool water to Rouse the senses in the morning today they're just passing by there's no need for an invigorating wash right now with the prospect of Adventure ahead pockets are energized and more cheerful than ever the humans have settled down with their Furniture in place and the walls freshly painted so now it's time for the pockets to explore and find a new place to call home over the past few weeks they've all spent a lot of time thinking about where they might like to live each member of the family has a preferred place in mind [Music] Parr are great Believers In fairness and equality so they've decided that each person's choice will be looked at and considered the location of their next home will be chosen by Family vote the first person to Showcase his choice is par this is why he's leading the way now protruding from his backpack are two repurposed toothpicks these are his walking sticks which are very handy when Crossing uneven Terrain the pockets are experienced explorers so everyone has their own walking sticks and backpacks filled with equipment these are things collected over the years repurposed to form an effective adventurous kit the pockets rely on these tools whenever they head out for instance their climbing ropes are a combination of knotted string safety pins and picture hooks thanks to these ropes they've managed to scale every surface no matter how tall or wide smooth or rocky right now the pockets resemble a group of expert hikers but instead of striding through the countryside they're Crossing marble worktops as they journey through the kitchen they weave in and out of spice racks and sugar bowls then after traversing the perimeter of the sink they step onto the electric oven top it's as smooth as an ice rink so they hold hands forming a chain to stay upright [Music] their movements become smooth and effortless and they Glide across the glassy surface like a professional ice skating team [Music] this feels wonderful more like flying than walking everyone is delighted when par turns around at the cooker's edge and leads them back out onto the glass they twist and twirl moving so gracefully that you'd think they were one person not four all of the pockets beam from ear to ear even as they leave the cooker and make their way towards par's chosen place they've almost arrived now they pull out the climbing ropes and Ascend the microwave with par leading the way [Music] then once they're all standing on top of the microwave Parr throws his rope upwards it goes up through a rectangular Gap in the base of the cupboard above them pulling on the rope power checks that the picture hook at the other end is fixed firmly into place then he climbs up the Rope until he's inside the cupboard and waits for the others to join him [Music] for the rest of the family this cupboard seems a little unusual first time they've seen one with a giant mechanical device inside it this is the human's boiler par tells them provides the heat that keeps the house nice and warm he leads them behind the machine to a spot where balls of cotton wool have been laid out like a sofa and chairs at Pal's suggestion the family sit down their tiny bodies sinking into the snug fabric of the cotton wall instantly they're struck by the coziness of this place and the blanket of warm air around the boiler it's a lovely relaxing spot kind of place where one might sit and read a book especially on days when it's cold and wet outside when Parr brings out a tray of tiny foil mugs filled with hot chocolate it feels even more like home serves them out he explains that all it takes is a speck of cocoa dust a drop of water from the nearby tap and a minute beside the boiler then there's enough hot chocolate for the whole family the pockets are impressed a hot chocolate tastes so utterly delicious it's creamy and milky combining the flavors of luxurious dark chocolate with a hint of sweet mint and they're excited about the place too picturing what it might become once decorated and furnished they imagine nights full of Chit Chat and comfort and this luxurious hot cocoa and in the morning they can climb down into the kitchen making a beeline for the windowsill and its spectacular View how wonderful it would be sitting together every morning to admire the beauty of the waking world the whole family are enthralled by this warm and cozy space but once the cups are empty they're ready to Journey on ma leads the group now she throws the climbing rope downwards catching the hook on the leg of a kitchen chair using a toothpick she secures herself to the Rope then with her arms raised and a look of childlike Mischief on her face she zip wires down the Rope she lands effortlessly on the kitchen floor [Music] the rest of the families soon follow they all Smile as they Glide down exhilarated by the ride [Music] then they walk on across the smooth floor and below the Towering height of the kitchen table [Music] soon they arrive at a huge wooden sideboard [Music] s is a new piece of furniture bought by the Grangers it's a beautiful light Pine that perfectly matches the table and chairs beside it the sideboard adds a much needed Touch of brightness to the room below there are three cupboards their doors paneled with frosted glass ma explains that the middle cupboard is their destination then she plants her toothpick down into the floor and vaults forward through the air ing through a gap in the cupboard door the other Pockets follow her lead until the entire family are standing inside [Music] led by Ma they weave their way around mountains of fine bone china [Music] there are plates bowls tea cups and sauces some are so smooth and delicate that they're surely reserved for special occasions only and some of the plates are decorated with hand-painted artwork of such beauty that Ma thinks they belong in a museum or gallery other items are plain in design like the Mounds of teacups their curved surfaces are so well polished that they're like mirrors Matilda is particularly amused by her reflection she's also surprised by how much she looks like a real Explorer [Music] seeing herself like this feels quite proud both of herself and her family Matilda also feels a little braver than she felt before although she's the youngest and smallest in the family she feels she can stand and walk a bit taller now with the confidence of an Intrepid adventurer [Music] this moment is just one of many happy surprises for Matilda as she turns a corner and reaches the back of the Shelf a table comes into view Ma has prepared everything table itself is made from a single bottle top and on its surface sits a giant Loop of cereal it's a breakfast unlike any the pockets have seen before this single piece of cereal the looks like a giant donut of chocolaty honey sweet loveliness and it's so large it could feed the pockets for a fortnight as they look on in wonder ma explains her discovery seems that the little human girl eats cereal for breakfast every day she always eats in the chair right beside this cupboard and as she's rather a Messy eater she scatters morsels of delicious food everywhere [Music] so right beside this cupboard there is an endless supply of delicious food and not only at breakfast time but at lunch and dinner too the pockets sit down around the table their bellies rumbling at the sight and smell of the food then without another word they all tuck in savoring the taste of the sweet crunchy cereal I think we could be very happy here declares Matilda she choose the last of her cereal and it's much lighter than the last cupboard says PA the others gnawed in agreement the family relax feeling utterly satisfied after their sweet hearty breakfast once more they begin to daydream picturing what it might be like to live here though it's not as warm as pars spot in the boiler cupboard it feels just as comfortable and homely in here and the thought of eating food like this each and every day is very tempting indeed Joe could almost move in right now but later when the pockets have left the cupboard Joe remembers that it's his turn to act as group leader he Springs into action leading the group back across the kitchen floor [Music] daylight fills the kitchen now it's mellow and golden like the light at Sunrise but visibly brighter in some places the floor is speckled with patterns of sunshine reflected through the window [Music] family walk through one such pattern finding themselves suddenly Awash in gorgeous powerful sunlight beneath their feet the beige floor becomes sand like in appearance and in the background they can hear the ever flowing water of the fountain outside which sounds like the waves of a vast ocean it's as if the family have been transported thousands of miles away to some exotic Beach destination [Music] indeed by the time they exit this tropical little spot the tiny family are positively glowing as they prepare to Traverse The Fluffy hallway carpet their moods are carefree and relaxed perhaps this is why their walk over the creamy carpet feels so effortless but even so it's a rather lengthy journey and not the easiest of terrains to cross it's Times Like These that the family are especially grateful to be together they all hold hands as they walk among the thick velvety carpet fibers supporting each other just as they did before [Music] this particular carpet has only recently been laid and it's the family's First Crossing ma is n't pretty awestruck at its softness and bounciness and everyone appreciates that new carpet smell it stays with them all throughout their Journey lingering on their clothes as they step through another open doorway and into the living room of all the rooms in the house this one is perhaps the most altered by the new homeowners gone is the burgundy carpet that Ma never liked and in its place is a flaw of polished mahogany the old wallpaper has been replaced with sun-soaked terracotta paint [Music] framed artwork decorates the walls displaying scenes from nature speaks to them are simpler pieces most likely drawn by the Granger child [Music] in the middle of the room sits a massive leather sofa it's a comfy spot for viewing the TV that's directly opposite raised high on the wall this is without a doubt the biggest screen that the family have ever encountered Matilda gasps at the site of it while her parents chuckle quietly it's hardly surprising that their son would choose such a place [Music] living beside a giant cinema screen would be a dream come true for Joe but as the family followed Joe across the glossy floorboards then up onto the coffee table they soon realize that their assumptions are wrong Joe isn't leading them to the sofa to a crevice in the cushions which offers a view of the screen instead he takes them across the coffee table to a site far more impressive than the television there in the center of the table sits a large rectangular fish tank teeming with life Joe beams he looks like a proud treasure hunter showing off his findings then he strolls across the table towards the tank and invites his family to sit down within the indentation of a decorative panel on the table it's a great spot for the pockets this little space is deep enough for them to remain hidden and slanted at the perfect angle to take in the tank as the family sits side by side they examine the marine and plant life in the vast Aquarium there are chunks of Driftwood twisting beautifully in different directions with fish of every color fluttering through the branches even the tiniest fish seem enormous and each one has its own unique mixture of colors and patterns one fish in particular is a striking shade of red and has large petal-like fins Joe explains that he has named this fish Rose in part this is because of her color which is the same ruby red as the roses in the garden and The Way She Moves also reminds him of rose petals her movements are so smooth and flowing she's like a petal floating through the water for the third time today the family are impressed they all think it might be quite marvelous to move to such a place par in particular has often dreamed of living beside the water if they moved here the family would have their own private ocean a source of constant Beauty and entertainment [Music] guys it wouldn't be so difficult to set up their Furniture beneath the nearby sofa leg or perhaps in one of the table drawers below but par is soon pulled from his Daydreams Matilda stands up ready to show off her own pick of locations before The Family cast their votes striding forward with confidence she abseales down the coffee table Landing Softly on the smooth mahogany floor then she turns though not towards the hallway as the others expect instead she guides the family further into the living room they go past the coffee table and around the back of the sofa only Matilda has visited this spot which is why she can't resist looking back at her family to flash a knowing smile as she knows what is just around the corner she finds it difficult to contain her Delight and very soon the rest of her family are equally delighted right there against the living room wall is the little girl's dollhouse so tall that its roof nearly reaches the arm of the sofa the dollhouse opens out to reveal three floors of various rooms connected by stairs at each level and a lift at the side there's a kitchen and living room on the ground floor and a dining room and bathroom above on the top floor there are the bedrooms one is larger with a double bed at its Center and there are also two smaller rooms with single beds like every room in the house the bedrooms are beautifully decorated and furnished with the most modern and stylish pieces for some time the pockets stand here in silence taking in the sight of this wonderful mansion like the other places they've seen in their travels today Feels Like Home but this place actually looks like home too there's no longer any need to imagine furniture and decor because it already looks better than anything they could have planned it's a dream come true to each and every one of them so it's no surprise that Matilda's pick wins the vote the pockets decide on the dollhouse even before Matilda points out the tiny remote controlled car parked beside the house they can use this to travel everywhere revisiting the places they've seen today as well as plenty of new destinations whenever the mood strikes they might visit the fish tank or the fountain or stop to sunbathe on the kitchen floor they can fill the car boot with serial Loops cocoa and various other Delicacies before returning home to their very own dining room [Music] and when it's time to go to sleep Matilda and Joe can climb into their very own beds here they'll listen to a soothing bedtime story read by their parents then when Matilda and Joe are fast asleep or tiptoe out of the room leaving the children to dream of new adventures [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music]
