914. Beneficial Bugs: a relaxing meditation and kid’s story

Brian, Raj, and Henry find a mysterious bug in the park, so they go to the library to find out more.

Narrator: Male

Story Begins: 3:57

Beneficial Bugs Excerpt:

The three friends moved over to the grassy side of the park near the swing set. Brian expertly maneuvered Winfield through the grass, thankful for the off-road tires that let him explore places with uneven ground.

“Let’s look for bugs on this tree,” said Henry.

They looked up at a large tree that stood like a giant in the park. The green leaves were high up above them like a cozy green umbrella. The friends took turns examining the tree but they did not find any bugs.
