0:00 Glimmer the glowworm inched along a long, green leaf.0:05 The leaf was as wide as a road to him.0:09 Above, the sky was a deep, soft blanket of blue.0:14 He paused for a moment, his own tiny light glowing a gentle green.0:20 He was watching the stars begin to appear, one by one.0:26 Each one a tiny, perfect pinprick of light.0:30 He remembered the story of Twinkle, the little star who learned to shine so brightly.0:39 Glimmer felt his own light seemed so very small.0:44 He looked up at the great big moon, a silver coin in the sky.0:50 He wished he could be that bright.0:54 He decided then and there to go on an adventure.0:59 He would find the brightest light in the garden.1:03 He would ask it how to shine like that.1:07 He began his journey down the long stem of the plant.1:13 It was like sliding down a grand, green bannister.1:18 At the bottom, curled in the heart of a rose, he found a ladybug fast asleep.1:26 Her red shell was dotted with black, like tiny seeds.1:31 Glimmer glowed his light very gently, so as not to startle her.1:38 "Excuse me," he whispered.1:40 The ladybug stirred, tucking her head out.1:45 "Oh.1:45 Hello, little one." "I'm looking for the brightest light," Glimmer said.1:52 "Do you know where it is?" The ladybug blinked her sleepy eyes.1:59 "The moon is very bright," she murmured.2:03 "But it is very, very far away." Then she tucked her head back in and went back to sleep.2:12 Glimmer felt a little sad.2:15 The moon was too far.2:17 But he kept going.2:19 He crawled across a stone path, cool and smooth beneath him.2:25 A beautiful moth landed nearby.2:28 Its wings were like soft grey velvet.2:32 It was dancing in the air, circling a bright, warm light on the porch.2:39 "That light is so bright!" Glimmer called to the moth.2:44 The moth fluttered down.2:47 "It is," it hummed.2:49 "It is warm and wonderful.2:51 But you must be careful.2:54 It is not a light for glowworms or moths to live in." Glimmer understood.3:01 That light was not for him.3:04 He felt his own little glow dim just a bit.3:09 He had traveled so far.3:11 And he was still just a tiny, small light.3:15 He found a soft patch of moss and curled up.3:20 He was ready to give up.3:22 He let his own light shine, a quiet little beacon in the dark.3:28 And then, something magical happened.3:32 Just across the moss, another little green light answered his.3:39 It blinked softly.3:40 Then another appeared beside it.3:44 And another.3:45 And another.3:46 He hadn't found one big light.3:49 He had found hundreds of little ones.3:53 Just like him.3:54 They were other glowworms.3:57 Their lights dotted the moss like a carpet of fallen stars.4:03 They weren't trying to be the moon.4:07 They weren't trying to be a porch light.4:11 They were just being themselves, together.4:15 One of the glowworms blinked a friendly hello.4:20 Glimmer blinked his own light back.4:23 He wasn't alone anymore.4:26 His light wasn't too small.4:29 It was just right.4:30 It was his.4:32 And when he added it to all the others, it was part of something beautiful.4:39 Curled up on the soft moss, surrounded by his new friends, Glimmer felt a deep, cozy peace.4:49 His little light pulsed gently, in time with all the others.4:55 And he drifted off to sleep.
