00:00Once upon a time, before the stars knew how to dance and before the tides learned to sing,
00:05there was a little moon who lived in the deep blue sky.
00:09She was round and quiet, like a soft pearl floating in a velvet sea.
00:15But unlike her older sisters, the full moon, the crescent, and the silver queen, little moon had no glow.
00:22She watched from the shadows as her sisters lit up the night,
00:26casting silver ribbons across the ocean and making the owls hoot in joy.
00:31Fireflies sparkled in their honor.
00:34Wolves sang to them.
00:36Children wished on their light.
00:39I want to glow too, whispered little moon.
00:42But, I don't know how.
00:45So one starry night, she set out on a journey across the sky, determined to find her glow.
00:51First, she visited Salara the sun, who was just waking up on the horizon.
00:59Dear sun, said little moon shyly, can you give me some of your light?
01:04Salara smiled warmly.
01:06My light is too bright for you, little one.
01:10But take this instead, a golden kiss on your cheek.
01:14Let it guide you.
01:16Little moon blushed as the kiss warmed her side, but it still wasn't a glow.
01:20Next, she floated past the northern lights, dancing green and purple across the sky.
01:27Can you teach me to shine like you?
01:29She asked.
01:31The lights twirled and laughed like ribbons of joy.
01:35We shimmer, because we feel the wonder of the world below.
01:39Look closely.
01:41You might find your glow there.
01:43So little moon peered down.
01:45She saw the waves catching the wind, whales singing in the deep, and children sleeping under blankets.
01:53She felt something warm stir in her.
01:56But still, no glow.
01:59She kept drifting until she found an old, wise comet streaking by.
02:04His tail glittered like diamonds.
02:06Do you know how to shine, she called.
02:10The comet winked.
02:13Yes.
02:14But my glow comes from moving bravely through the dark.
02:18Maybe yours will, too.
02:20Little moon thought quietly.
02:23She had crossed the whole sky.
02:25She had faced the dark, talked to the stars, and followed wonder.
02:31And just as she looked down again, she saw something incredible.
02:35The ocean was glowing.
02:38Tides shimmered in silver.
02:40Flowers turned toward the sky.
02:43And on earth, a little girl looked up and whispered,
02:46Good night, moon.
02:48I love you.
02:50And in that moment, little moon felt it.
02:52A gentle glow, blooming from within.
02:56Not too bright, not too big, but soft and steady, like a lullaby.
03:02Like love.
03:03Like magic.
03:06From that night on, the little moon glowed in her own special way,
03:10lighting the path for dreamers, night creatures,
03:13and every heart looking for hope in the dark.
03:16And she never doubted her light again.
03:19The end.
