Drift into a quiet world as Lily Chen narrates a bedtime story about an old enamel kettle on the second shelf of a small kitchen, the color of cream gone slightly grey with years, that has learned the gentle art of waiting for whoever is tired enough to come in and lift it.In this five-minute Micro Tale, a tired man comes in from the porch one evening, damp at the elbows, and forgets for a moment what he came in for. He looks at the kettle. He does not lift it at first. He only stands there, looking at it, as if it were a small, gentle reminder that the kitchen still remembers his name. Then he reaches out, fills it slowly, and turns the dial very low, the way one turns a volume down rather than up.Lily Chen narrates this soft, whispered story designed to help you settle into restful sleep.The story closes with a quiet invitation: if you are tired tonight, let there be a small slow sound in your keeping, a kettle, a clock, the hum of a refrigerator, and let it warm the room in its own quiet time.CHAPTERS:00:00 — Welcome00:30 — The Second Shelf01:35 — Through the Long Evenings02:45 — A Tired Man Comes In04:05 — The Kettle Begins to Sing05:30 — The Room Before It Boils06:05 — Rest NowMicro Tales brings you short, whispered bedtime stories designed to help you fall asleep.
