  Speaker 1: Welcome to Get Sleepy, where we listen, we relax, and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we get sleepy. I'm Tom, and it's my honour to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: be your host. Thanks so much for being here. Tonight,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we'll rejoin Ben and Crystal as they continue their magical
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: search for Poseidon's lost trident. If you missed the first
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: episode on Monday, or you don't quite remember what happened
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: last time, that's okay. We'll start with a quick recap
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of everything you need to know. Make sure you're as
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: comfortable as can be in your bed. Breathe in smoothly
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and slowly. and release the air gently back out. As
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you find a comforting rhythm, begin to visualize yourself as
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you are right now. In this peaceful moment, picture your
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: body surrounded by a warming glow of peaceful energy. On
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: your next deep breath in, absorb that glow with the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: inhale of breath. And as you exhale, feel a release
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of tension A release of anything opposing your chance to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: invite calm within. Gradually, bit by bit, allow yourself to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: fill up every cell of your body with peace, love
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and calm. With each deep breath, this essence of warmth
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and peace fills you more and more. Visualize it and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: feel it, even if it's only subtle. Now that you're
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: nice and relaxed, Let me catch you up on what
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: happened during the first part of our story. A young
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: man named Ben traveled to the Spanish island of Mallorca.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: On the beach, he encountered Poseidon, the god of the sea,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: who had lost his precious golden trident. Poseidon asked Ben
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to help him find it with the help of a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: special guide, a magical, shapeshifting creature named Crystal. So far,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: there's been no sign of the missing trident. After searching
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the woods near the beach, Ben and Crystal found spent
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the night asleep in a cozy cave. Let's join them
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: now as they wake up, ready to continue their search.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Ben woke up slowly. He could feel the sensation of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: wings brushing his skin. When he opened his eyes, he
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: saw crystal flying above him in the form of a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: glowing firefly. The space was gradually filling with light. From
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: this spot near the cave entrance, Ben could see that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the sun was rising. It was time to wake up.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: To Ben's surprise, he felt very well rested and ready
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to continue yesterday's search for Poseidon's trident. When Crystal flew
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: out of the cave, Ben got up and followed. As
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he stepped outside, he saw that the sun wasn't fully
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: risen yet. Its edges were touching the water, covering it
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: with soft, golden shimmers. The sky looked like a canvas
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that had been painted from bottom to top. Near the horizon,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the sun's golden glow resembled orange paintbrush strokes. Orange then
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: transitioned to a light yellow, followed by a soft blue.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The top part of the sky was like a painting
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: made of deep blue strokes. It was a beautiful sunrise
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and it filled Ben with the hope that comes with
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the start of a new day. He felt so calm
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that he stood there for a moment admiring the view.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Ben also noticed that he was surrounded by a pleasing
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: symphony of birds chirping and distant waves rising and falling.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: As he enjoyed this relaxing soundscape, he took a deep
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: breath in. The early morning scent of the beach filled
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: his lungs. He closed his eyes, savoring the calming atmosphere.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: A moment later, Crystal was back at Ben's side, fluttering eagerly.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: From her movements, Ben understood that he had to follow her.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Crystal guided him to a spot under the trees. The
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: ground was covered with fresh fruit. There were piles of apricots, oranges,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and grapes, as well as a big watermelon. Ben's eyes
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: lit up. He thanked Crystal and began to eat. Each
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: bite of fruit seemed to melt in his mouth. The
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: apricots were deliciously sweet. The oranges were the juiciest ones
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: he had ever tasted. Then there were the grapes, so
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: soft and sweet, and the big watermelon, which was juicy
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and refreshing. The strong scents of all the fruits made
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: them taste even better. It wasn't just a breakfast, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a banquet. When he had finished, Crystal started flying toward
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the sea. At first, Ben was puzzled. He didn't understand
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: what she wanted. Then Crystal went into the water and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: transformed into her other form, a gorgeous fish. Ben walked
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: towards the shallows and kept following Crystal. The little fish
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: had started glowing, with wavy rays emanating from her body.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Once he was deep enough, Bem put his face underwater,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: hoping that he would be able to understand Crystal a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: little better like this. What he saw below the surface
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was amazing. Crystal's colors were even more vibrant underwater. She
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: was captivating. Ben gazed at the shades of sparkling blue
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and green in astonishment. But then he saw something even
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: more magnificent The rays of light that were coming from
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: her body were also glowing, and they pointed in different directions.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: At last, Ben understood. Crystal wanted them to explore those
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: different areas of the ocean, but for that, he would
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: need diving gear. Fortunately, he remembered that he'd seen a
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: diving school not so far from the shore. Without delay,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Ben rented all the equipment that he needed. And in
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: no time, he was back at the ocean, where Crystal
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: was floating near the surface. they were ready to begin
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: their search for the trident. Ben touched one of Crystal's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: glowing rays to show which direction he thought they should
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: go first. And right away, they were both transported to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: another spot in the ocean. It was just like Poseidon's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: magical map with its powers of teleportation. Ben could see
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that they were now far from the shore, but he
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: was a trained diver, so he felt comfortable and safe
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: being there. In addition, these waters were particularly clear and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: they offered good visibility. As Ben and Crystal dived to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the depths of this area, the light became dimmer. But
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they could still see their surroundings well, thanks to the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: bright rays of sunlight that penetrated the water. Diving deeper,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: they came across several marine species, such as eels, tuna,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and damselfish. There was even an octopus which moved its
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: tentacles in such a graceful way. The suction cups that
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: covered the tentacles looked like pearls. What an elegant creature,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Ben thought. As they got deeper, Ben and Crystal found
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: bright pink coral reefs. Their detailed patterns and structures made
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: them look like architecture or a work of art. It
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: was here that Ben discovered his favorite creature, the nudibranch,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: also commonly known as sea slugs. He loved their beautiful
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: mix of exotic and vivid colors. His favorite nudibranch looked
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like something painted by a famous artist. It was lime
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: green with canary yellow dots. Its head was decorated with
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: larger light blue spots surrounded by yellow rings. Although Ben
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: went diving frequently, all the beauty that he saw underwater
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: took his breath away. He experienced this sense of awe
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: every time. Ben stared at this coral reef and its
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: sea slugs for a while, contemplating the wonders of nature.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It was only when Crystal approached him that he remembered
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: what they were there for. Ben started looking through the reefs,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: but found nothing. They even dived to the very bottom
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of the area. But when he dug through the sand,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Ben couldn't see any sign of the golden trident at all.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: crystal then emitted a new glowing ray. When Ben touched it,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: he found himself suddenly transported to the entrance of an
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: underwater cavern. The smooth teleportation still felt surreal, but he
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: was getting used to it by now. The underwater cavern
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: had wide holes where he could enter and explore. Small,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: colorful fish swam around this area in groups. Ben swam
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: slowly so as not to startle them. Once he was
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: inside the cavern, he started looking around. First, he slid
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: his hands across the walls, both inside and outside. Then
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: he dived to the bottom of the cavern and dug
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: through the sand. But again, there was no trident to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: be found. Crystal swam towards him, and emitted yet another
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: glowing ray. After touching it, Ben was surprised to find
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: himself sitting on the beach. Crystal had turned back into
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a firefly, but instead of guiding Ben to the next spot,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: she just hovered beside him, fluttering in mid-air, Perhaps she
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: was thinking about where to search next. In the meantime,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Ben took off the diving gear. Just as he had finished,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: crystals started fluttering in front of him, glowing intermittently like
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a flashing light. This had to mean something. since Crystal
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: had never glowed like that before. Maybe she knew where
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the trident was. A moment later, Crystal started flying along
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the beach, her wings still flashing. Ben got up and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: followed her. As they headed into the town, Ben wondered
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: where Crystal was taking him. When she finally stopped, hovering
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: in the air, Ben looked around in confusion. Behind him,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: he could see a parking lot and signs indicating taxis
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and bus stops. there was also a large building with
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a ticket stand, as well as souvenirs and food. It
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: looked like a tourist attraction. Then Ben noticed a sign
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: pointing to a set of mysterious caves. Apparently, crystal wanted
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: him to enter these caves. Ben followed the sign, which
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: indicated that the entrance to the cave was a few
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: steps ahead. Still accompanied by Crystal, he walked down a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: stone staircase until he came to a short, narrow tunnel.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: It was a bit dark, but there were handrails that
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: helped Ben walk safely through the tunnel. At the end,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: he encountered a black metal gate. He tried to open it,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: but it was locked. This didn't seem to be a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: problem for Crystal, though. She simply emitted a glowing ray
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: of light that traveled to the gate. As soon as
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the glow touched the door, it swung open, and they
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: went through carefully. Once they were on the other side,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Ben stopped abruptly and his eyes widened. This had to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: be the most beautiful place he had ever seen. They
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: were inside a long cave. Its interior was full of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: hanging stalactites and stalagmite that emerged from the ground. Ben
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: knew that these formations were deposits of different minerals, and
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: that they often looked similar to icicles. But he had
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: never seen them in person. The whole ceiling was covered
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: with ancient stalactites of different widths and lengths. Here, it
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: felt as if time had stood still. There was also
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a large body of water in the cave. The water
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: was so clear that Ben could see right to the bottom,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and the surface reflected the hanging stalactites on the ceiling.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: The atmosphere was enhanced by the cave's interior lighting, which
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: had been thoughtfully placed to highlight the natural beauty of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the space. The combination of the rock formations, the water,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and the lighting made this place look like a dream.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: It was mesmerizing. Ben stood there, speechless, as he gazed
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: at his surroundings. The atmosphere inside the cave was cool
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and damp compared to the summer temperature outside. But to Ben,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: it felt wonderfully refreshing. Silence reigned inside the cave apart
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: from the sound of dripping water. Ben immersed himself in
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the cave's atmosphere with all of his senses. He felt
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: so comfortable and calm as he savored the tranquility of
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: this dreamy place. Closing his eyes, He took a deep breath,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: determined to remember every single detail of this wonderful yet
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: mysterious cavern. Just then, he felt Crystal's wings fluttering by
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: his ear. This brought him back to the reality of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: why he was standing there. Crystal's glow was still shining intermittently.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Her movements suggested that she wanted Ben to start exploring
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the cave. He walked slowly and ran his hands around
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the walls. The light brown stone was textured and grooved
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and a bit damp. He observed the ceiling carefully, trying
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to detect any golden shimmers. He kept walking and looking around,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but he couldn't find anything. When they were deeper inside
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the cave, Ben noticed that crystals' intermittent glowing had become quicker.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: There were shorter pauses between each glow. It seemed to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: be acting like a radar, detecting the trident's location. This
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: gave Ben an idea. As he moved around, he could
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: observe how Crystal's glow pattern responded. he saw that it
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: became slower in some spots, while it pulsated more quickly
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: in other areas. When Ben got closer to the water,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the light flashed even more quickly. This suggested that the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: trident could very likely be in the water. Ben carefully
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: stepped into the pool. It was clear and shallow. Crystal
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: turned into her fish form and swam next to him.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Moving forward through the water, Ben looked for any signs
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: of the golden trident. Crystal's rays were still glowing quickly.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: As the water got deeper, the cave became a bit wider.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just a pool, but a magnificent subterranean lake.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Ben looked around in amazement. He could never have imagined
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: that the cave would hide such a treasure. Thankfully, the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: waters were still as clear as before. Beside him, crystal
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: was glowing, her rays pulsating even faster. Ben was sure
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that the trident had to be somewhere in this lake.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Diving down a few meters, he found that the bottom
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was mostly covered in marine plants. This made it hard
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to spot anything that might have sunk to the lake's depths.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Some of the plants were short, making it easier to
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: look through them. But the majority were long and leafy,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: They grew upwards like thin, elongated leaves that danced slowly
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: from side to side. And they were so tall that
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Ben had to swim through the leaves, using his hands
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to separate them, and then reaching down to search the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: bottom of the lake. As much as Ben looked, he
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: couldn't find anything. But Crystal's glow was constant now, and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: he knew that the trident had to be near. He
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: swam a bit further, moving closer to the center of
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the lake. then he took a deep breath and dived
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: to the bottom here he saw a bunch of leaves
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: that were tangled around something He got closer, and as
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the leaves moved gently with the water's flow, he saw
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: a golden shimmer. Right away, he started untangling the leaves
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: with his fingers. Little by little, a staff made of gold.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: revealed itself. Although it looked like an ordinary stick, it
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: had to be Poseidon's missing trident. Then grabbed it and
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: swam back to the surface. Crystal's glow was constant now.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: She examined the trident for a moment, swimming around it
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: in circles. Then she stopped and generated three glowing rays
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: that went upwards. They resembled the three prongs of a trident.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: After this, crystals glow faded This could only mean one thing.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: The staff was indeed Poseidon's golden trident. Ben felt so
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: happy and relieved. Crystal emitted a final glowing ray that
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: pointed in the direction of the sea. When Ben touched it,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: they were both instantly transported to the spot in the
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: ocean where they had first met. Standing tall in the
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: middle of the waves was Poseidon. He was just as
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Ben remembered him, an impressive, muscular figure with a long,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: tangled beard. But this time, Poseidon was smiling. Ben stepped
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: toward him and placed the golden staff in Poseidon's outstretched hands.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: When it touched the god's fingers, the staff became longer
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: and a three-pronged structure with sharp points emerged at one end.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: The trident looked powerful and in Poseidon's hands, glorious. His
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: loyal companion, Crystal, swam to his side and remained there.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Ben, said the god of the sea. You
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: have proven your bravery, honesty, and skills, and you are
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: more than deserving of the magical parchment. Poseidon retrieved the
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: parchment from the water and gave it to Ben. As
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: soon as he touched it, Ben could feel the power
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: emanating from it. I know you will make good use
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of this valuable tool, Poseidon said, but I must leave now.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: And then he added, good luck on your voyages, Ben.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Ben watched as Poseidon and Crystal started to swim away,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: further into the ocean. He called out after them, thanking
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: them both for everything. In the distance, Poseidon turned and smiled.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Crystal briefly leaped out of the water and twirled in
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the air before diving down again. Ben felt reassured that
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: they had both heard him. Now that this adventure had ended,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Ben realized just how tired he felt in both mind
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: and body. The exhaustion was like a weight. He went
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: back to the hotel and made his way to his room. Here,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: he felt the peace of his cozy little nest again.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: After taking a relaxing, warm shower, Ben made himself comfortable
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: As he sank into the mattress, he stared at the ceiling,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: reflecting on all the magical things that he had seen
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: during the last couple of days. He felt completely exhausted,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, He was deeply grateful that
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: he'd had the chance to meet Poseidon and to help
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: him with something so important. He was also grateful for
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: the time that he had spent with such a magnificent
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: creature as Crystal. Ben felt truly fulfilled. A feeling of
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: deep relaxation ran through his body. As he thought of
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the magical parchment, Ben imagined all the adventures that he
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: would be able to experience with its help. Travelling from
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: one ocean to another. And, little by little, Ben peacefully
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: drifted off to sleep.
