0:00 Alright now, settle in.0:02 Let’s get you cozy.0:04 Time for a story.0:06 Wisp was a very small cloud.0:09 He was no bigger than a puff of dandelion fluff.0:14 All day he had played tag with the sunbeams, but now the sky was growing dark and velvety.0:24 Down below, in a quiet garden we know, a little dewdrop named Glisten was settling onto a rose petal for the night.0:37 Wisp knew it was time for his own gentle adventure.0:42 He took a deep, soft breath and floated away.0:47 Away from his big, sleepy cloud family, who were all huddled together like a giant flock of sheep.0:58 The moon, a friendly silver coin, smiled down at him.1:03 A gentle night breeze whispered in his fluffy ear.1:09 "Where are you going, little one?" Wisp didn't have to answer.1:16 The breeze already knew.1:18 It was an old friend of adventurers.1:22 It nudged him along, like a soft hand guiding him through the dark.1:29 Below, the world was a patchwork quilt of deep blues and soft grays.1:37 He saw a tiny town, tucked into a cozy valley.1:42 The lights in the windows looked like a handful of fallen stars, scattered on dark velvet.1:52 Wisp wondered about the people inside.1:56 Were children tucked into their beds?2:00 Were they dreaming sweet dreams of toys and puppies?2:05 He sent a soft, fluffy thought down to them.2:10 "Sleep well," it said.2:13 "May your dreams be happy." He drifted over a long, winding river.2:20 It shimmered like a ribbon of black silk, stitched with silver thread by the moon.2:29 The moon's reflection danced on its surface.2:34 Wisp dipped down low, just for a moment, his edges tickling the cool air above the water.2:43 He tried to touch his reflection.2:47 But it was just light and water, winking back at him.2:53 He giggled a quiet, misty giggle that sounded like the faintest rustle of leaves.3:01 Next, the breeze carried him over rolling fields.3:07 He could just make out the shapes of sleeping cows, huddled together for warmth.3:16 They looked like big, gentle loaves of bread, resting before the morning.3:23 He floated over a quiet farmhouse with a single light still on in the kitchen.3:32 Maybe someone was having a late cup of tea before bed.3:38 Wisp liked that idea.3:40 It felt warm and peaceful.3:43 Further on, he came to a forest.3:46 The trees were tall and dark and wise.3:51 Their leaves whispered secrets to each other in the quiet air.3:57 Wisp saw the glowing eyes of an owl, perched on a high branch.4:04 It blinked slowly at him.4:07 Hooooo.4:08 The sound was soft and deep, like a gentle question.4:13 It was NOT scary at all.4:16 It was just the forest saying hello, and goodnight.4:21 Wisp floated a little lower, close enough to smell the rich, earthy scent of pine needles and damp soil.4:33 It smelled like sleeping.4:35 Wisp floated higher again, up where the air was thin and clear.4:42 He looked down at the whole sleeping world.4:47 The twinkling town.4:49 The silver river.4:51 The quiet fields and the whispering forest.4:56 It all looked so peaceful.4:58 So connected.5:00 He felt a little tug in his cloudy heart.5:04 He wasn't just watching the world from far away.5:10 He was part of its quiet night song.5:13 Every light, every shadow, every sleepy sigh was connected.5:20 And he was connected to it, too.5:23 He realized he wasn't a lonely puff of fluff in a great big sky.5:30 He was a tiny blanket for the stars to peek over.5:36 A little pillow for the moon to rest its chin upon.5:41 The night breeze wasn't just pushing him; it was singing him a lullaby.5:49 He felt so cozy and safe, held by the big, gentle night.5:55 He began to drift more slowly now, his edges growing soft and blurry.6:03 His wonderful adventure was ending.6:06 And a sleepy adventure was about to begin.6:11 Wisp closed his little cloud eyes.6:15 He let the quiet of the night rock him gently, back and forth… back and forth.6:23 And as he drifted, he began to dream of all the beautiful things he had seen.6:32 Sweet dreams, little Wisp.6:34 And sweet dreams to you, too.
