00:00Welcome to Mai's Gentle Heart, the tale of a girl and her tiny turtle.
00:07Once upon a time in a small village nestled between rolling hills and sparkling rivers,
00:12there lived a little girl named Mei.
00:15Mei was kind-hearted and loved exploring the world around her.
00:20One sunny afternoon, Mei wandered through the forest near her home, enjoying the beauty of nature.
00:28What a beautiful day! I love walking in the forest.
00:34As she was wandering near a calm river, she heard a faint sound.
00:39Curiously, she followed the noise.
00:44Suddenly, Mei noticed a tiny, injured turtle lying by the side of the path.
00:50Her heart filled with concern.
00:54Oh no, a tiny turtle! It looks hurt. I need to help it.
01:01With great care, Mei picked up the fragile turtle, determined to help her new friend.
01:06Don't worry, little one. I'll take care of you.
01:11Back home, Mei's grandmother, wise and nurturing, showed her how to care for the tiny turtle.
01:17They cleaned its wound, fed it nourishing food, and created a cozy little home for it in a box filled with soft leaves and twigs.
01:25She gently cleaned its wound and bandaged it, hoping it would recover soon.
01:29I'll clean your wound and put a bandage on it. You'll feel better soon.
01:36Mei prepared a cozy little box for the turtle, making sure it was comfortable and safe.
01:42This box will be your new home for now. Let's get you comfortable.
01:47Day by day, the turtle grew stronger under Mei's loving care.
01:52It began to move around and eat the food she provided.
01:56You're looking stronger today. Here, have some more food.
02:02Mei named her new turtle friend Taro.
02:05She spent hours talking to Taro, telling him stories about her adventures and dreams.
02:10Taro, in turn, seemed to listen intently, blinking his tiny eyes in understanding.
02:15I'm so happy to have a tiny turtle friend. I'll give you a name. I'll call you Taro.
02:22Before long, Mei and the turtle were playing together in her garden, their bond growing stronger each day.
02:29You're all better now. Let's play together.
02:34As the sun set, Mei and her little turtle friend sat together, enjoying the peaceful evening, grateful for their special friendship.
02:42I'm so glad I found you. Let's watch the sunset together. You'll always be my friend, Taro.
02:51Mei's compassion and care for the tiny turtle teach us a valuable lesson about kindness and empathy.
02:58By helping those in need, no matter how small, we create bonds of friendship and make the world a better place.
03:04Remember, even the smallest act of kindness can have a big impact.
