Drift into a slow evening upstairs where an old woman keeps her reading glasses on a thin gold chain. Tonight, Lily Chen reads a short bedtime story about a small pair of glasses who know, before she does, exactly when to set the book down.In this five-minute Micro Tale, a woman who has been reading each evening for nineteen years sits in the low armchair of her upstairs room with a thin volume of letters she has been saving. The book was written by a woman who lived a long time ago in a house very much like her own. As she reads, she finds she is in both rooms at once. Then her eyelids begin to grow heavy, and the reading glasses do what they have done many times before — they slip themselves off the bridge of her nose and rest on the open page, so the dusk can gather, slowly, into the night.Lily Chen narrates this soft, whispered story designed to help you settle into restful sleep.CHAPTERS:00:00 — Welcome00:30 — The Glasses on the Chain01:30 — The Upstairs Reading Room02:30 — A Thin Volume of Letters03:30 — The Third Letter04:15 — The Glasses Slip Off05:00 — A Quieter Dusk05:30 — Thank You, and GoodnightMicro Tales brings you short, whispered bedtime stories narrated softly by Lily Chen.
