0:00 Silas the moth had seven tiny spots on his soft, dusty wings.0:07 He fluttered through the cool night air, just like our friend Sparkle the Firefly did on her own moonlit adventure.0:20 But tonight wasn't about zipping and sparkling...0:26 tonight was about a mysterious, sweet smell.0:31 It was a scent Silas had never smelled before.0:36 It was sweeter than the honeysuckle that climbed the old stone wall.0:44 And it was softer than the night-blooming jasmine by the garden gate.0:52 It was a whisper of a smell...0:55 a secret carried on the breeze.0:59 Silas was a very sleepy moth, and his wings felt heavy.1:05 He was quite ready to find a cozy leaf and rest for the night.1:12 But his curiosity was a tiny little flutter in his heart.1:19 Where was that wonderful smell coming from?1:24 He just had to know.1:26 So he followed the scent, a silvery thread pulling him through the darkness.1:35 He flew past the sleeping daisies, their faces all closed up for the night.1:44 He drifted over the quiet pond, where the frogs had just finished their evening song.1:54 The air grew cooler, and the moon shone down, lighting his path like a gentle lantern.2:03 With every flutter of his wings, the scent grew stronger.2:10 It smelled like moonlight and sugar and the happiest dreams.2:17 Silas felt his eyes getting heavy...2:21 oh, so very heavy.2:23 His little wings beat slower...2:27 and slower.2:28 He thought, maybe I should just stop here, on this soft patch of moss.2:36 But the scent called to him one last time.2:41 Come...2:42 just a little farther.2:44 And so he did.2:46 He fluttered around a large, smooth river stone, worn down by years of flowing water.2:56 And there...2:57 oh, there it was.2:59 In a small, hidden clearing, a single, magnificent flower was opening.3:07 Its petals were as white as fresh cream, and they unfolded slowly, gracefully, reaching for the starlight.3:20 It was a moonflower.3:22 And as it opened, it began to glow.3:26 Not with a bright light, but a soft, pearly light, as if it had swallowed a little piece of the moon itself.3:38 A deep, peaceful feeling washed over little Silas.3:44 The search was over.3:47 He didn't feel the need to fly another inch.3:52 He drifted down and landed on a broad, green leaf right beside the flower.4:00 The light from the moonflower was warm and comforting.4:06 The beautiful scent was all around him now, like a soft, sweet blanket.4:15 He watched the very last petal unfurl, and the flower stood open and glowing in the quiet of the night.4:27 Silas the sleepy moth closed his seven-spotted eyes.4:33 He was safe.4:34 He was calm.4:35 And right there, bathed in the magical light of the moonflower, he drifted into the sweetest, most peaceful sleep.
