Description: Tonight’s bedtime story is a gentle reading of a beautiful Vietnamese tale called The Crystal Heart which is included in the “Gifts of Story” series of storytelling by Aaron Shepard. This lovely legend is about a mandarin’s daughter who discovers that appearances can deceive but the heart speaks true. Instead of background music, this story has soothing background rain sounds to help enhance the feeling of relaxation and peace as you listen. All you have to do is settle in under the covers and snuggle up tight...and then let’s get sleepy together...sweet dreams and good night...Story Attribution:I am so grateful to Aaron Shepard and his beautiful adaptation of this Vietnamese Tale which has been made available in his Gifts of Story Series  http://www.aaronshep.com/storytellingThis podcast is 100% listener-supported, completely ad-free, and made possible by wonderful listeners like you.
