0:00 Some seashells are so small you need a microscope to see them.0:06 It reminds me of our friend Rocky the river stone from last night… how even the smallest things can have the biggest adventures.0:19 Tonight, we’re going to meet someone even smaller than Rocky.0:26 Her name was Coral, and she was a seashell no bigger than a single grain of sand.0:34 She lived at the very bottom of the deep, deep ocean, where the water was still and quiet and dark.0:44 For a long, long time, her whole world was just the soft, cool sand around her.0:53 But one day… something changed.0:56 A gentle current, like a slow, sleepy breath, began to stir the water.1:03 It whispered past her, and then… it lifted her.1:08 Up she went.1:09 Floating.1:10 Tumbling ever so slowly through the deep blue.1:15 Above her, a faint light began to grow.1:19 It wasn’t scary.1:21 It was magical.1:22 She saw fish with scales like tiny rainbows swim past in silent parades.1:30 She drifted through forests of tall, green kelp that swayed in the water like they were dancing.1:40 The current was her guide, her gentle hand, carrying her higher and higher.1:48 The light grew from a dim glow to a soft shimmer, and the water turned from deep navy to a beautiful, clear turquoise.2:00 Coral had never seen so much LIGHT before.2:05 She spun in a slow circle, watching the world unfold.2:10 It was all so new.2:12 So BIG.2:13 And she was so very, very small.2:16 The current began to hum, getting a little faster now, a little stronger.2:24 It was exciting...2:26 but also a little...2:28 wobbly.2:28 Suddenly, the hum became a rumble.2:32 The water wasn't just lifting her anymore, it was PUSHING her.2:38 Forward and up, faster and faster.2:42 Whoosh!2:43 She was caught in the curl of a great, green wave, surrounded by fizzing, white bubbles.2:52 For just a moment, it was loud and confusing.2:57 She tumbled end over end in the foam.3:00 And then… just as suddenly… everything went still.3:06 The water sighed and pulled away, leaving her behind.3:11 Coral rested on something soft… and warm.3:15 It wasn’t the cool, dark sand of the ocean floor.3:21 This was different.3:23 It was golden, and it sparkled under a light so bright and gentle it felt like a hug.3:31 The sun.3:32 She looked up and saw a vast, endless blue above her.3:38 The sky.3:39 She could hear a new sound… the shushing of the waves as they kissed the shore, again and again.3:49 A gentle rhythm.3:50 A lullaby.3:51 Her long journey from the bottom of the ocean wasn't over.3:57 It was just the beginning.4:00 She was no longer a hidden secret of the deep.4:05 Now, she was a tiny treasure on the sand, waiting for curious eyes to find her, a perfect, pearly speck glowing in the warm afternoon light.
