0:00 Are you feeling sleepy?0:02 Are you ready to close your eyes and drift away on a story?0:08 Good.0:08 Let’s get cozy.0:10 A single dandelion can send a hundred tiny wishes out into the wind.0:16 Last night, we watched Twinkle the star find its special shine, and tonight, we'll meet another little traveler searching for a place to rest.0:30 His name is Pip.0:32 Pip was a tiny seed with a big, fluffy parachute of white puff.0:38 He lived with all his brothers and sisters on top of a tall green stalk in a sunny meadow.0:47 One afternoon, a gentle breeze came whispering through the grass.0:54 It tickled the dandelion head, and with a soft WHOOSH… Pip was flying.1:01 Oh, the world was so big from up here!1:04 He wasn't scared.1:06 He felt light as a bubble.1:09 He floated up, up, up, past the tops of the tallest clovers.1:14 He drifted over a garden path made of flat, warm stones.1:20 He saw a line of busy ants marching along, each one carrying something important.1:28 He floated over a flowerbed, a rainbow of red and yellow and blue petals.1:35 From way up high, it looked like a painter’s palette.1:41 Then, the breeze carried him over a little stream.1:45 It giggled and sparkled as it tumbled over smooth, grey pebbles.1:52 Pip dipped low enough to see his own fluffy reflection dance on the water for just a moment before he floated up again.2:04 Suddenly, something with wings of bright orange and black fluttered beside him.2:11 "Hello, little traveler," said a friendly voice.2:16 It was a monarch butterfly.2:19 "Where are you off to?" Pip didn't have a voice, but he bobbed in the air, which meant, "I don't know!2:29 Wherever the wind takes me." The butterfly smiled.2:34 "The journey is the best part," she said.2:38 "Enjoy the view." And with a flick of her beautiful wings, she dipped down toward a bright pink flower.2:48 Pip floated on, feeling happy.2:51 The sun began to sink lower in the sky, painting everything in soft gold and pink.2:59 The breeze that carried him started to get tired.3:04 It slowed down… and became a gentle sigh.3:08 Pip began to drift down, down, down.3:12 He floated past the big branches of an old oak tree.3:17 And then, he saw it.3:19 Nestled between the tree’s big, strong roots was a patch of moss.3:25 It was the GREENEST green he had ever seen, and it looked as soft as a tiny velvet pillow.3:34 This was it.3:35 This was the place.3:37 He landed so gently, it was like a whisper.3:42 He didn't even make a sound.3:44 The moss was even softer than it looked.3:48 It was cool and damp and smelled like fresh earth after the rain.3:55 Pip wiggled his little seed-foot down into the cozy green bed.4:01 He was no longer a traveler.4:04 He was home.4:05 The big roots of the oak tree curved around him, keeping him safe from the wind.4:13 Above him, through the leaves, he could see the first stars beginning to twinkle.4:21 He felt so safe… so sleepy.4:23 And just like Pip, you are safe and sound in your own cozy spot, ready for sweet dreams.4:32 The little dandelion puff closed his tiny eyes, dreaming of the sun and the sky and the soft green moss.
