The Queen Bee (Remastered)
by Mandy Sutter
Relax to this gentle and optimistic tale from the Brothers Grimm in which the youngest brother of three demonstrates to his elder brothers that being kind is the wisest - and most effective - way to live. The story is narrated with a background of soothing classical guitar by William King, a musician and composer from Ukraine. It is the first time I've produced a track with music, so please let me know what you think in the review section! Let me know whether it helps you relax or whether you prefer voice only. Any comments are welcome!

Hello there,
My name's Mandy.
I'm really pleased you've decided to join me for tonight's reading.
It's one of the original stories brought to us by those well-known brothers and academics,
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
Before we start,
Let's just spend a few moments taking up a comfortable position,
Whether you're sitting or lying down,
And do any of those last-minute little adjustments that you might need to,
Just making yourself as comfortable as you can be,
Tonight,
At this particular moment in time.
Okay,
Then I'll begin.
The Queen Bee Two king's sons,
Once upon a time,
Went out into the world,
To seek their fortunes.
But they soon fell into a wasteful,
Foolish way of living,
So they couldn't return home again.
Then their young brother went out to seek for his brothers.
But when he'd found them,
They only laughed at him,
To think that he,
Who was so young and simple,
Should try to travel through the world,
When they,
Who were so much wiser,
Had to leave.
They had been unable to get on.
However,
They all set out on their journey together,
And came at last to an anthill.
The two elder brothers would have pulled it down,
In order to see how the poor ants in their fright would run about and carry off their eggs.
But the little brother said,
Let the poor things enjoy themselves,
I will not suffer you to trouble them.
So on they went,
And came to a lake,
Where many,
Many ducks were swimming around.
The two brothers wanted to catch two and roast them.
But the little brother said,
Let the poor things enjoy themselves,
You shall not kill them.
Next they came to a bee's nest in a hollow tree,
And there was so much honey that it ran down the trunk.
And the two brothers wanted to light a fire under the tree,
And kill the bees,
So as to get their honey.
But the little brother held them back and said,
Let the pretty insects enjoy themselves,
I cannot let you burn them.
At length the three brothers came to a castle,
And as they passed by the stables,
They saw fine horses standing.
But all were of marble,
And no man was to be seen.
Then they went through all the rooms,
Till they came to a door,
On which were three locks,
But in the middle of the door was a wicket,
So that they could look into the next room.
There they saw a little grey old man sitting at a table.
And they called to him once,
And they said,
