0:00 Every single snowflake has exactly SIX sides.0:04 Just last night, we saw Luna have her own gentle adventure in the garden.0:12 Tonight, a different kind of traveler is starting its journey.0:18 Up in a big, soft, grey cloud, a tiny crystal of ice was just beginning to form.0:26 Its name was Flurry.0:28 It wasn't just any crystal.0:31 It grew six beautiful, feathery arms, each one a perfect, lacy pattern, COMPLETELY different from any other snowflake in the whole wide world.0:46 It was cozy in the cloud, with millions of others bumping gently against each other.0:54 But then… a soft little nudge from the wind pushed Flurry right over the edge.1:02 And its great adventure began.1:05 Down, down, down it floated.1:08 The world below was quiet and sleepy.1:12 The moon looked like a big, silver plate in the sky, polishing the clouds so they shone.1:21 Flurry twirled and danced on the air, a tiny, silent ballerina.1:27 It saw the dark shapes of trees reaching up like sleepy arms.1:34 It saw little houses, tucked into the hills, with warm yellow squares for windows.1:42 It wondered… who lived in those warm little boxes?1:47 Other snowflakes drifted past.1:50 Some were like tiny stars.1:53 Others were like sharp little needles.1:57 Flurry waved its six lacy arms to each one.2:01 "Hello!" it wanted to say, but its voice was just the quietest little whisper of cold air.2:10 Where… ohhh where… was it going to land?2:14 It didn't want to land on a busy road.2:18 Or in a chilly puddle.2:21 It hoped for somewhere soft.2:23 Somewhere still.2:25 Somewhere… cozy.2:27 And then, it saw it.2:29 Below was a forest, silent and deep.2:32 And in that forest stood one tall pine tree.2:37 One of its branches reached out, already covered in a soft, white blanket of snow.2:45 It looked like the most comfortable bed in the ENTIRE world.2:52 The wind seemed to understand.2:55 It guided Flurry gently, steering it away from the open field and right toward that one, perfect branch.3:05 Flurry landed with a puff so soft, it made NO sound at all.3:11 It settled right next to another snowflake that looked like a tiny, frozen flower.3:20 It looked around.3:21 It was part of the blanket now.3:25 It helped make the pine branch beautiful and bright under the moonlight.3:32 From its new home, Flurry could see one of the little houses.3:38 Through the window, it saw a soft light, and the small shape of a bed.3:45 Someone was sleeping in there, warm and safe.3:50 Flurry felt… so happy.3:52 It had traveled so far, all the way from its cloud-cradle in the sky.3:59 And it had found the perfect place to rest.4:04 And there, nestled on its pine-needle bed, Flurry settled in for a long, quiet, winter's dream.
