Pinocchio, The Fox and the Cat
Five gold pieces, a limping fox, a blind cat, a long supper at the Red Lobster, and a dark road with two shapes following along it.
Retold for sleep from The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, first published in 1883 and long out of copyright. The story is Collodi's; every sentence here is our own.

Low, slow and spacious, a gentle cadence with long pauses, tuned for the dark and made to be drifted off to.
