His cave shelves hold everything from a grumbly little storm cloud to his most prized possession: a breathtaking jar of pink-and-gold sunset. But one morning, the sunset cloud is gone. Bram follows a trail of pink mist all the way to the mountain's peak - past a family of riddle-demanding geese, a wobbly log bridge, and a very enthusiastic marmot narrator - only to find his cloud floating free in the middle of the real sky at golden hour. What he discovers there is far more beautiful than anything he could ever fit in a jar. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes: Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax. Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep. A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.","meta_description":"Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories High on Mount Fumble, where pine trees grow in crooked spirals and streams sing to themselves, lives a small, round bear n…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1132,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-reading-bug-podcast-original-adventures-bedtime-stories-and-music-for-kids-590759/episodes/bedtime-story-the-bear-who-collected-clouds/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reading-bug-podcast-original-adventures-bedtime-stories-and-music-for-kids-590759/bedtime-story-the-bear-who-collected-clouds.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
