725. Playground Posing: a story and relaxation for kids

Savannah Swingset and Sara Slide witness an early morning fitness class, and decide to join in with their own twist! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 4:20 Playground Posing Excerpt: The Ahway Island playground was still and peaceful as the night slowly receded, giving way to thedawn. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees, and the fresh air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers. The dark blue sky gradually changed colors, from deep indigo to shades of pink, orange, and yellow. The stars shined brightly like little sparkling jewels, and the first light of the sun began to creep over the horizon. As the birds began to wake up, the first few chirps rang out, filling the air with sweet melodies. Savannah Swingset had been resting comfortably in the early morning breeze, swaying gently back and forth in the peacefulness of the morning. Savannah’s sleep was abruptly interrupted by a sound that she had never heard before, coming from the far end of the playground. A soothing and tranquil melody began to fill the air.
