Drift into a quiet world as Lily Chen narrates a bedtime story about a small paper map that learns to fold itself, one evening at a time, into the shape of rest.In this five-minute Micro Tale, an old sea captain who never quite went to sea keeps a much-folded map pressed close to his chest. The captain has lived his whole life in a quiet coastal town, watching boats leave at dawn and listening for sails at dusk. Each evening the map folds itself one fold smaller, until every harbor and every river has been tucked away inside a single soft square of paper the size of a small flat stone.Lily Chen narrates this soft, whispered story designed to help you settle into restful sleep.The captain lifts the folded map from his pocket and sets it on the windowsill beside his tea. He understands, the way old men understand paper and weather, that the map has finished its traveling. He does not need a map to rest tonight. He only needs the shape of one, kept warm where his chest had been.CHAPTERS:00:00 — Welcome00:30 — The Captain and His Map01:30 — How the Map Folded Itself03:00 — An Evening by the Kettle04:30 — The Window and the Lamp05:30 — Letting the Day Fold Small06:15 — A Soft Place to RestMicro Tales brings you short, whispered bedtime stories designed to help you fall asleep.
