0:00 Are you feeling sleepy, Admin?0:03 Let’s get cozy and close our eyes.0:06 It’s time for a story.0:08 Shimmer the shadow woke up when the very first sunbeam touched the window.0:16 It was a brand new day, full of adventures… just like the ones our friend Glimmer the pebble found beyond the stream.0:28 Shimmer wiggled and stretched, a little patch of darkness on the bright, sunny floor.0:36 Then, a pair of small feet landed right beside them.0:42 It was time to play.0:44 The feet belonged to a little one, who was Shimmer's best friend.0:50 When the little one stood up, Shimmer did too, becoming a long, wobbly copy.0:58 When the little one danced, Shimmer danced right along with them.1:05 Oh, it was the BEST game.1:07 Out they went into the bright morning.1:11 The sun was low in the sky, which meant Shimmer was VERY long and tall.1:18 Shimmer could stretch all the way across the lawn and tickle the toes of a daisy.1:26 The little one would run, and Shimmer would race ahead, a dark, speedy shape on the green grass.1:36 Then the little one would try to step on Shimmer’s head, but Shimmer was always just a little too quick.1:47 What a fun game of tag.1:49 As the sun climbed higher, right overhead, Shimmer began to change.1:56 The long, stretchy shadow became a small, round puddle of darkness, right under the little one's feet.2:06 Hmm.2:07 It was hard to play tag when you were so tiny.2:11 So Shimmer played a new game.2:14 Hide-and-seek.2:16 When a big, fluffy cloud floated in front of the sun, Shimmer would disappear completely.2:25 Gone!2:25 Where did Shimmer go?2:27 The little one would look around, puzzled.2:32 But then the cloud would drift away, the sun would peek out, and… POP!2:39 There Shimmer was again, right where they were supposed to be.2:45 The little one would giggle, and Shimmer felt that giggle all the way down to their shadowy toes.2:55 But soon, the sun began its journey back down the other side of the sky.3:02 The light turned from bright yellow to a soft, sleepy orange.3:08 Shimmer started to get long and stretchy again, but this time… it felt different.3:17 It was a tired kind of stretching.3:20 A bedtime kind of stretching.3:23 The little one went inside, and Shimmer followed, a quiet companion at their heels.3:32 Inside, the lights were warm and yellow, making other soft shadows that nodded hello.3:40 Shimmer watched as the little one got ready for bed.3:45 Finally, the big light clicked off.3:49 Only a tiny night-light was left on, making one last, very small, very faint shadow.3:58 Shimmer curled up at the foot of the bed, a soft, still shape in the quiet room.4:06 The day of playing was over.4:09 It was time to rest.4:11 And as the little one drifted off to sleep, Shimmer stayed close, a faithful friend waiting for the sun to bring a new day of adventures.
