0:00 A falling leaf can spin like a tiny helicopter, dancing all the way down.0:08 It’s a quiet, gentle kind of magic… a little like the soft dance Shimmer the shadow practiced in the moonlight.0:20 Our story tonight is about a leaf named Willow, who was just learning how to dance.0:30 Willow was a bright yellow leaf on the tallest branch of an old oak tree.0:38 One morning, a soft little breeze came along and whispered, “Are you ready?” Willow wasn’t sure.0:49 But she took a deep breath of sweet autumn air… and let go.0:55 Wheeee!0:56 Down she twirled, and swirled, and spun.1:01 She wasn’t falling—she was flying.1:05 She saw the world in a whole new way.1:09 The tree trunk was a giant, wrinkly mountain.1:14 The other leaves were a shower of gold and red confetti.1:20 It was the most wonderful ride.1:24 She landed on a carpet softer than anything she had ever felt.1:31 It was a patch of deep green moss.1:35 “Well hello there, little one,” a crumbly, kind voice said.1:41 It was the moss!1:43 Willow looked around and saw a whole tiny city she had never noticed from up high.1:52 A beetle with a shiny black shell, who looked very important, scurried past carrying a crumb.2:03 He tipped his antennae at her.2:06 “Welcome to the floor,” he chirped, without stopping.2:12 Willow giggled.2:14 The moss rustled gently.2:17 “You look like you’ve had a big journey,” the moss said.2:23 “You can rest here.2:25 I’m very cozy.” Willow felt a wave of sleepiness wash over her.2:32 The journey had been exciting, but now she was ready for a rest.2:40 She nestled down into the soft, damp moss.2:44 It was like being tucked into the greenest, plushest bed in the whole world.2:53 The moss was a warm blanket all around her.2:58 From down here, the stars looked like tiny holes poked in a dark blue blanket.3:07 The wind in the branches above sang a soft lullaby.3:12 Willow closed her eyes.3:15 She wasn't a leaf on a tree anymore.3:19 She was part of a new, quiet, wonderful world.3:24 And as she drifted off to sleep, she knew she would have the sweetest dreams.3:33 Just like you.
