0:00 Pippin the mushroom had exactly seventeen gills under his little brown cap.0:06 He knew that big adventures sometimes took a long time, the way our friend Rosie the Rosebud learned to wait for the sun.0:17 But Pippin felt that even a small adventure was better than no adventure at all.0:24 So today, he decided to be brave.0:27 He would journey all the way to the other side of the great green moss-patch.0:34 He took a deep breath that smelled of damp earth and sleepy roots.0:39 One step.0:40 Then another.0:41 The moss felt like a soft, springy carpet under his little stalk.0:47 It was a whole world of green hills and valleys.0:51 He passed a ladybug, fast asleep on a clover pillow.0:56 He tiptoed so he wouldn't wake her.0:59 Then he saw it.1:00 A great wall, blocking his path.1:03 It was crinkly and brown, with rivers of lines running all over it.1:09 To a little mushroom, the fallen oak leaf looked as big as a mountain.1:15 How would he ever get across?1:18 He felt the edge.1:19 It was dry and rustly.1:21 He put one foot up...1:23 and then the other...1:25 and began to climb.1:27 Up, up, up the big brown mountain-leaf.1:30 The world seemed sooooo big from the very top.1:34 When he reached the other side and slid down, he landed in a place he had never seen before.1:42 And there...1:43 right in front of him...1:45 was a jewel.1:46 It was a perfect, single drop of morning dew, hanging from the tip of a blade of grass.1:54 And inside it...1:55 ohhh, inside it was MAGIC.1:58 It wasn't just water.2:00 Pippin leaned closer and saw the whole world captured inside that tiny drop.2:06 He saw the tall, tall trees reaching for the sky.2:11 He saw a little sliver of the moon, still awake.2:15 Everything was tiny, and shimmery, and upside-down.2:19 A secret world, just for HIM.2:22 Pippin sat there for a long, long time, just looking.2:27 He felt like he had discovered the forest's biggest secret.2:32 When the sun began to warm his cap, he knew it was time to go home.2:38 He climbed back over the leaf-mountain, which didn't seem so scary anymore.2:44 He walked back across the soft moss-carpet, which now felt like the coziest home in the world.2:53 He snuggled back into his favorite spot, right where he started.2:58 He was the same little mushroom, in the same little patch of moss.3:04 But now he knew that you don't have to be big to find wonder.3:09 Sometimes, the biggest magic is found in the tiniest, quietest places.3:16 And he drifted off to sleep, dreaming of a tiny, upside-down world, held inside a single drop of dew.
