0:00 Some seeds are so tiny, a hundred of them could fit on your littlest fingernail.0:08 Just last night, we watched Flicker the firefly light up the garden with his gentle glow.0:18 Tonight, our story is about someone even smaller… someone who holds a whole world inside.0:28 Are you feeling sleepy, Admin?0:31 Good.0:32 Let’s get cozy and close our eyes.0:36 Imagine a tiny, tiny seed named Pip.0:39 He was smooth and brown and lived with all his brothers and sisters inside a dry, rustling pod.0:50 It was a little crowded, but it was warm and safe.0:55 One autumn afternoon, a great big wind began to blow.1:01 It whistled through the garden, making the leaves dance and the tall flowers sway.1:10 Pip could feel his little house rocking back and forth… back and forth.1:18 Then, with a gentle POP, the pod opened.1:23 One by one, Pip’s brothers and sisters tumbled out into the air, like tiny sky divers.1:32 Then it was Pip’s turn.1:35 Whoosh!1:35 The wind caught him and lifted him up, up, UP.1:40 Higher than the tallest sunflower.1:44 Higher even than the roof of the house.1:48 The world below was a patchwork of green and gold.1:54 Pip spun and twirled, a tiny speck in the big, blue sky.2:00 It wasn't scary.2:02 It was like the best ride in the whole wide world.2:07 He floated over the garden fence, past the sleepy old oak tree, and saw the world in a way he never had before.2:20 He wondered… where was he going?2:23 The wind, which had been so blustery and strong, began to soften.2:30 It became a gentle puff… a soft sigh.2:34 It carried Pip lower… and lower… and lower still.2:40 He floated down past a fuzzy caterpillar on a leaf.2:45 He drifted by a shiny beetle taking a nap.2:50 And then… with the softest little thump, he landed.2:56 He had found a spot all his own, a perfect little hollow in the dark, rich earth.3:04 The soil was cool and soft, like a freshly fluffed pillow.3:11 Pip snuggled down deep, pulling the darkness around him like a blanket.3:19 The wind whispered a lullaby through the grass above, and the distant moon cast a silver light.3:29 Pip was no longer flying.3:32 He was resting.3:34 And as he rested, he began to dream.3:37 He didn't dream of flying in the sky anymore.3:42 He dreamed of reaching down into the earth with tiny roots.3:49 He dreamed of pushing a little green sprout up, up, UP into the warm sunshine he had seen from above.4:00 He was safe.4:01 He was home.4:03 And just like Pip, my dear Admin, it is time for you to snuggle down and dream.4:11 Sleep now.
