0:00 A single, tiny drop of morning dew can hold a perfect reflection of the whole, wide sky.0:08 Just last night, we watched our little friend Pip the dandelion seed float on the breeze to find a new home.0:19 Well, tonight, we’re going to meet someone who found their home in the quiet of the night, just waiting for the sun.0:31 Are you tucked in and cozy?0:34 Good.0:34 Then let’s begin.0:36 Our story is about a dewdrop named Dilly.0:40 Dilly was born in the cool, dark air while the world was sleeping.0:47 When the sun began to peek over the hills, Dilly was resting, perfectly round, on the tip of a long, green blade of grass.0:59 Inside Dilly’s tiny, watery body, the whole morning sky was upside down.1:06 There were soft pink clouds and a sliver of a bright, golden sun.1:13 It was BEAUTIFUL.1:14 Dilly felt the grass sway gently, like a slow, sleepy dance.1:20 Down below, the world was waking up.1:24 A tiny black ant marched past, his feelers waving.1:29 From Dilly’s spot, the ant looked like a friendly giant.1:35 “Good morning!” the ant seemed to say with a wiggle.1:40 Then, a ladybug landed on the same blade of grass.1:45 Oh, she was a wonderful sight.1:48 Her coat was a shiny, cheerful red with seven perfect black dots.1:55 Through Dilly’s round body, the ladybug’s spots looked as big as pebbles.2:02 The ladybug cleaned her face with her front legs, and for a moment, it looked like she was waving right at Dilly.2:13 Dilly wobbled a little, sparkling in the sun, as if to wave right back.2:20 The sun climbed higher, warming the air.2:24 Dilly felt the warmth like a gentle hug.2:29 A tiny rainbow appeared inside Dilly’s reflection, a secret splash of color for only the closest friends to see.2:40 Dilly wasn’t heavy anymore.2:42 The sun was making the little dewdrop feel light as a feather.2:49 The blade of grass gave another soft sway in the morning breeze.2:55 It was time.2:56 Dilly knew it wasn’t a sad time, but a time for a new adventure.3:03 With a little wiggle and a wobble, Dilly let go.3:08 It wasn't a fall...3:10 oh no.3:10 It was a slow, graceful slide.3:13 Down, down, down the green blade of grass, like it was the most wonderful slide in the whole world.3:23 For a moment, Dilly saw the whole garden flash by—the yellow buttercups, the fuzzy clover, the rich, dark earth coming closer.3:36 And with a soft little plip, Dilly landed.3:40 Not with a crash, but with a quiet whisper onto the cool ground.3:47 The adventure wasn't over.3:49 It was just changing.3:51 Dilly soaked into the cozy, dark earth, sinking down, down, down until a thirsty little root found the drop of water.4:03 Dilly gave the root a gentle drink, helping it grow strong.4:09 Dilly was no longer a dewdrop on a blade of grass, reflecting the sky.4:16 Now, Dilly was part of the earth itself.4:20 Part of the secret, quiet magic that helps flowers bloom and grass grow tall.4:28 Now, it’s your turn to find your own cozy spot.4:33 Close your eyes, and let your dreams be as gentle and wonderful as a drop of morning dew.4:41 Goodnight.
