This week's Free story comes from the Sparkle Sleepytime collection. It's called "Luke Alden the Bald Eagle." This story is probably one of our most sleepy — about a young bald eagle named Luke Alden who has lots and lots of ideas. All day long he thinks of ideas, and then one evening those ideas get in the way of falling asleep. Luckily his mother has an idea herself about how Luke Alden can let go of those ideas and feel his sleepy body. This is just the thing, because it doesn’t take long for Luke Alden to fall deeply and peacefully asleep.   This story is just a sample of what we’ve got on the Sparkle streaming website. There we have over 1400 original stories.  That’s a ton of stories. Access hundreds of hours of listening with stories just like this one. We make it free for a whole month – so you can give it a try. This summer, use the code SUMMERTIME when you sign up, and you can have 30 days of free listening.  So if you’re ready for more than one story a week, hop in. Go to sparklestories.com/signup and click the button in the top right of our website that says Start Your Free Trial and the code SUMMERTIME and you’ll be set for a month.   Each week on the Sparkle Stories Podcast, we share a free story from one of our original story series!
