0:00 Are you all snuggled in?0:02 Good.0:03 Then let’s begin.0:05 In the very middle of the Whispering Stream, nestled among a hundred other stones, lay a tiny pebble named Pip.0:17 The Whispering Stream trickled right past the edge of the forest where Glimmer the Glow-Worm once helped a little lost beetle find his way.0:32 I wonder if they ever saw Pip's stream sparkling in the moonlight from their cozy homes.0:42 Pip was very small, and perfectly smooth, and had been in that same spot for a very, very long time.0:53 He loved his home, but oh, how he dreamed of seeing the world.1:00 Every day, the water would rush past, telling stories of the big world beyond the stream bed.1:11 It whispered of tall, green reeds that tickled the sky, and of bright blue dragonflies that danced on the air.1:23 Pip would listen, and wish with all his might.1:28 "I wish I could see it," he'd think to himself.1:33 "Just for a little while." One sunny afternoon, as he was making his quiet wish, a little swirl of water seemed to pause right beside him.1:48 It was a friendly current, playful and kind.1:53 It felt Pip's little wish.1:56 And it decided to grant it.1:59 Ever so gently, the current nudged Pip from his spot.2:05 Whoosh!2:06 For the first time, Pip was moving.2:10 It was a wonderful, wobbly feeling.2:14 He tumbled and rolled, but the water held him softly, like a blanket.2:21 He saw the world from a whole new way.2:26 The other pebbles on the stream bed became a blurry, colorful path below him.2:34 A tiny minnow with silver scales swam right up to him, blinked its big eye, and darted away with a flick of its tail.2:47 He saw the legs of a water-strider walking on the roof of his world, making little dimples on the surface.2:59 The sunlight came down through the water in long, shimmery lines, making everything sparkle.3:09 It was more beautiful than any story he had ever heard.3:15 The journey felt like it could go on forever.3:20 But then, the current began to slow.3:24 It guided Pip around a big, mossy green rock that looked like a sleeping giant.3:33 On the other side, the water was calm and quiet.3:38 It was a little pool, tucked away from the main part of the stream, where the water was as still and clear as glass.3:51 Pip could see the reflection of the big, blue sky above him.3:58 He could see fluffy white clouds drifting by.4:03 It was the most amazing thing he had ever seen.4:08 He had never, ever seen the sky before.4:12 The friendly current gave him one last, gentle nudge.4:18 Pip settled down not on the hard stream bed, but onto a patch of soft, velvety moss at the water's edge.4:30 He was home.4:31 A new home.4:32 From here, he could see everything.4:36 He could see the tall reeds.4:39 He could watch the dragonflies dance.4:44 And he could look up at the endless sky.4:48 He had seen the world.4:50 And now, he was ready to rest in his perfect, peaceful spot.4:57 And just like Pip, nestled in his cozy new home… it is time for you to get cozy, too.5:07 Close your eyes.5:08 Feel how peaceful it is to be still.5:12 Let all your adventures for the day float away… like dreams on the water.5:20 Goodnight, my dear.
