0:00 From Earth, we can see about five thousand stars with just our eyes.0:06 One of those stars, a tiny, curious one named Twinkle, loved watching the clouds drift by… especially the puffy little ones like our friend Nimbus, who we met in our last story.0:22 Twinkle was nestled high up in the deep, velvet blanket of the night sky.0:29 Every evening was the same.0:32 She’d pop out, give a little shimmer, and watch the world far, far below.0:39 It was beautiful, but… oh, it was so far away.0:43 Tonight, Twinkle felt a little wiggle of adventure in her pointy rays.0:50 What did the world LOOK like up close?0:53 What did it sound like when it was sleeping?0:57 Just then, a long, silvery moonbeam stretched down, down, down… almost touching the treetops.1:06 "Hmm," thought Twinkle.1:08 And with a brave little leap, she grabbed onto that moonbeam and began to slide.1:16 It felt like the most wonderful slide in the whole universe!1:21 Down she went, past the other sleepy stars, until the world wasn't a pattern of lights anymore.1:30 It was REAL.1:31 First, she peeked into a quiet forest.1:35 There, curled up in a cozy den, was a little fox, its tail wrapped around its nose like a warm scarf.1:44 The fox gave a tiny, sleepy yawn, and Twinkle felt a yawn bubble up inside her, too.1:52 She slid a little further and saw a river, flowing like a ribbon of liquid moonlight between dark, sleepy hills.2:03 It didn't make a loud noise, just a gentle… shhhhh… a hush that seemed to sing the whole world to sleep.2:13 Then, she floated over a small town.2:16 One by one, the little yellow squares of light in the windows went dark.2:23 Click.2:23 Click.2:24 Poof.2:24 Everyone was tucking in for the night.2:28 For just a moment, Twinkle felt a little bit lonely.2:33 So far from her starry home.2:35 But then she looked up.2:38 And she saw them.2:39 Thousands of her brothers and sisters, all twinkling back at her.2:45 They weren't just dots in the sky.2:48 They were family, watching over her.2:52 A warm feeling spread through all of Twinkle’s five points.2:57 She wasn't alone at ALL.3:00 She was part of the quiet world below, and the great, watchful sky above.3:06 With a happy little sigh, she began to climb back up the moonbeam, her heart full of sleepy wonders.3:16 Back in her spot, she snuggled into the darkness.3:20 But tonight, her light wasn't just a tiny, faraway shimmer.3:26 It was a warm, gentle glow, a promise to the sleeping fox and the quiet river that she would be right there, watching over them, until the sun came to wake them in the morning.
