0:00 The little dewdrop clung to the tip of a clover leaf.0:05 He was perfectly round, and perfectly clear.0:09 The whole world was reflected inside him.0:13 The moon, the stars, the dark, quiet garden.0:18 Just last night, we saw Flicker the Firefly dancing in this same moonlight.0:25 Tonight, a different tiny friend was having a quiet adventure.0:31 This little dewdrop’s name was Glisten.0:35 Glisten loved his home on the clover leaf.0:39 It was smooth and green and swayed like a gentle cradle in the breeze.0:46 From his perch, he could see the whole sleeping world.0:51 He saw a sleepy ladybug tucking her spotted wings in for the night.0:58 He watched a garden spider carefully polishing her web.1:04 Each strand shone like spun silver in the moonlight.1:09 So very beautiful.1:11 A soft breeze began to whisper through the garden.1:15 Whooosh, it sighed, brushing past the tall, silent flowers.1:21 Glisten’s leaf began to rock, back and forth, back and forth.1:27 He held on tight, but he wasn’t scared.1:31 He was curious.1:33 Down below, the world was a soft, dark mystery.1:37 It was a giant forest of grass and a plush carpet of moss.1:43 He could see other dewdrops on other leaves, all around him.1:49 Each one held a tiny, perfect star inside.1:53 They looked like a string of fairy lights, draped all over the garden.2:00 Glisten wondered what it was like down there.2:05 Was the moss as soft and springy as it looked?2:09 What did the world smell like from the ground?2:14 He imagined the rich scent of the dark earth.2:18 The breeze came back, a little stronger this time.2:23 It was a playful puff of air, full of mischief.2:28 It tickled the clover leaf, making it dip and sway.2:33 Glisten felt himself begin to slide.2:37 Just a little at first.2:39 A tiny, slow, slippery slide toward the very edge.2:44 Oh, he thought.2:45 It’s time for my adventure to begin.2:49 The leaf dipped down, down, down.2:52 It became a little green slide, made just for him.2:57 And with a tiny, silent plink, Glisten let go.3:02 He wasn’t falling.3:03 Oh, no.3:04 That sounds much too fast.3:07 He was gliding.3:08 For one magical moment, he floated in the cool night air.3:14 He was a tiny, sparkling jewel, tumbling in slow motion.3:19 He saw the moon upside down, winking at him.3:24 He saw the sleepy ladybug as a tiny red and black dot.3:29 It was a wonderful, topsy-turvy, weightless journey.3:34 A journey that lasted only a single, happy heartbeat.3:40 He landed with the softest of whispers.3:43 Not on hard, cold ground, but in the deep, velvety cushion of moss.3:50 Oh, it was even softer than he had imagined.3:54 It was like landing on a green, living cloud.3:59 Cool and damp and smelling of nighttime and fresh soil.4:04 And he wasn't alone anymore.4:07 All around him were other dewdrops, winking in the moonlight.4:13 The ones he’d seen from his leaf.4:16 They had all slid down to the mossy floor, too.4:21 They rolled toward each other, gently, gently.4:26 One by one, they touched.4:28 And when they touched, a little magic happened.4:33 Glisten rolled into another dewdrop, and suddenly they were ONE.4:39 Bigger, and brighter, and holding twice the starlight.4:44 Then another joined, and another.4:48 Soon, they were a tiny, shimmering pool nestled in the moss.4:54 A perfect little puddle of captured starlight and moonbeams.5:00 Glisten was still there, of course.5:03 But now he was part of something MORE.5:07 He still held the moon inside him.5:10 But now, all his new friends held the moon, too.5:15 Together, they shone as one bright, peaceful light in the quiet garden.5:22 Safe, and sound, and waiting for the warmth of the morning sun.5:28 Now, it's time for you to drift off, too.5:32 Close your eyes and feel as cozy as Glisten.5:37 Safe and sound in your own soft bed.5:40 Sweet dreams, my dear.
