1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: That morning, the sky was a clean, clear blue, without

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,759
a single cloud. Dash, Ziggy, Lily, and Sky were in

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,320
the meadow playing chase between the trees. Dash ran so

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,960
fast he looked like lightning wearin shoes. You can't catch me.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,879
You can't catch me, he laughed, jumping over a bush.

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,120
Ziggy hopped, Lily chased with a determined face, and Sky

7
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:32,920
giggled softly watching the little leaves fall. It was a

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,479
perfect morning. And then they heard a funny sound, choo choo,

9
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:45,280
choo choo. From behind the trees came Toby the magic train,

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:51,079
all colorful with his smoke curling in little swirls. The

11
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,320
children shouted with joy and ran to meet him. Toby

12
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:00,000
rang his bell and said, good morning, children. Climb up high,

13
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,760
we'll hop aboard, and off we'll fly. A magic forest

14
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,239
waits for you, where all day long you jump up too.

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,760
The four friends climbed on, laughing. A forest where you jump,

16
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:21,280
asked Dash, his eyes shining. I'm the best at jumping.

17
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:25,879
And he jumped right there on the train, car bonking

18
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,239
his head on the roof. Ouch, but he laughed anyway.

19
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,200
The little train set off with puffs and whistles, and

20
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,120
in a flash. It carried them into a forest full

21
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:43,319
of tall, tall trees and green clearings. It was a

22
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,599
special place. It was called the hopping forest. On the grass,

23
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,560
there were lots of little dewdrops sparkling in the sun

24
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,760
like tiny diamonds. But something was wrong, how strange said,

25
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:06,120
looking around, the forest seems a little dim. She was right.

26
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,639
The dew didn't sparkle as much as before, and the

27
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:15,879
fireflies resting on the leaves had a weak, weak, little light,

28
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:21,080
almost like a tiny candle about to go out. That's

29
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,360
when they heard a little voice, talking, talking, talking, never stopping.

30
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:31,879
Oh finally somebody. You know, I've been waiting for company

31
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,120
for so long. I always say hello to everyone, but

32
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,159
hardly anybody comes by here. So I talked to myself,

33
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,400
and it's really not fun talking to yourself. Better with company,

34
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,560
don't you think? It was a snail, a little snail

35
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,360
with a spiral house on his back, who moved ever

36
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,360
so slowly, but talked a mile a minute. I'm gastone

37
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,520
said the snail. And you've arrived at just the right time,

38
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,439
because our forest has a little problem. You see, the

39
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,400
light is going out, and I'm very worried. In fact,

40
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,599
I'd say I'm quite fretful. Fretful asked Dash, scratching his head.

41
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,280
What does that mean. It means I have a thought

42
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,439
spinning in my head that won't go away, explained Gastone,

43
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,240
like when you have a tickle in your nose, but

44
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:36,400
the sneeze never comes. The children laughed. That new word, fretful.

45
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:41,000
Everybody liked it. But why is the light going out?

46
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Asked Sky in her gentle voice. Gaston let out a

47
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:51,120
long sigh, Because in this forest nobody plays any more.

48
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:57,280
Nobody laughs, nobody runs, nobody jumps, and the light of

49
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,479
the forest only turns on with joy. It needs the

50
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:08,080
most beautiful energy of all, the energy of laughter. Dash

51
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:11,919
jumped to his feet. Then it's easy. Let's have the

52
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,279
forest many Olympics races, jumps, throws. We'll laugh so much

53
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:23,639
the light will shine again. What a great idea, said Ziggy.

54
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,839
Lily clapped her hands and Sky smile. All right, then

55
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:33,360
I'll be the referee, said Gastone. I'm slow at walking,

56
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,800
but at talking, I'm the fastest in the forest. Ready

57
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,079
for the first race, the running race, the children lined

58
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:48,079
up on the dewy grass. Gastone slowly raised a tiny

59
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:56,720
flag made of a leaf. Ready, he said, ever so softly, Go,

60
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,800
but the children had already s off ages ago. Gastone's

61
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:06,399
go was so slow that nobody could wait for it.

62
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,160
And here's where the funniest thing happened. The dewy grass

63
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,519
was super slippery. Dash shot off like a rocket, but whoops,

64
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,720
he slipped and did three whole spins, landing right on

65
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,759
his bottom. Ziggy landed on top of him. Lily slid

66
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,800
sideways and sky rolled across the grass like a little ball,

67
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:36,560
laughing her head off. What a mess, Dash cried, But

68
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,800
he laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes.

69
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:46,480
And like magic, the moment everyone laughed, a nearby firefly

70
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:55,480
lit up, bling a bright little light. It works, said Gastone. Laughter,

71
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,519
turns on the light, keep going. But right at that moment,

72
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,319
a mischievous guest arrived the playful wind. You couldn't see him,

73
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,600
but you could hear him giggling. Whoosh, whoosh. The cheeky

74
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:16,439
wind blew and made all the leaves fly right into

75
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,839
Dash's face. There I've got a leaf in my mouth,

76
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:27,439
Dash sputtered, and everyone burst out laughing, pling pling. Two

77
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:32,680
more fireflies lit up, then came the log jump. There

78
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,279
was a fallen log and they had to jump over it.

79
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,519
Lily took a running start, jumped beautifully and landed with

80
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,000
her arms up high. But the playful wind blew again

81
00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:50,240
and tickled her under the arms. Ha ha. Lily laughed

82
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:57,519
without meaning to, wriggling around pling another little light. Ziggy

83
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,639
jumped his own way. He did a summer so the air,

84
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:04,439
landed and got tangled in a bush. With his legs

85
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:07,800
up in the air, he looked like an upside down

86
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,759
little spider. Everyone laughed so much, and more fireflies lit up,

87
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:19,240
one after another. The forest was beginning to shine again,

88
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,439
The dew sparkled, the fireflies were having a party, and

89
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,160
the air was full of laughter. Only the last race

90
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:33,800
was left, the most important one of all. To turn

91
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:37,399
on the last light, the biggest one, said Gaston in

92
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:41,279
a serious voice. You have to hang the little golden

93
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,600
light at the top of the tallest tree in the forest.

94
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,160
But it's so so tall, none of you can reach it.

95
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:56,160
The children looked up. The tree was gigantic, with branches

96
00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:00,480
that brushed the clouds. It was too tall to jump,

97
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,800
and who can get up there? Asked Dash. That's when

98
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,560
they noticed a little bird perched on the lowest branch,

99
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:15,879
trembling a bit. His name was Peepo. I I can't,

100
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,120
said Pepo in a tiny voice. I'm afraid of flying.

101
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,720
I'm always afraid. I always stay here on the low branch,

102
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,240
where I feel safe. Right beside him was his mommy,

103
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:35,919
a little bird with soft feathers, staying close to him. Peepo,

104
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:41,519
you can try, said Dash softly. We'll help you. Peepo

105
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,440
took the little golden light in his tiny feet. He

106
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,360
looked up, he opened his wings. He was trembling all over.

107
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,279
Then he took a tiny, tiny flight. But the playful

108
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,759
wind at that very moment blew hard, just for fun,

109
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,440
and Peepo lost his balance. Oh no, the little golden

110
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:11,720
light slipped from his feet and fell to the ground,

111
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:18,360
going dark PLoP. Peepo went back to the low branch

112
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,159
and hid his little head under a wing. I did

113
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,120
everything wrong, he whimpered. I ruined the little light. I'm

114
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:33,080
a disaster. I want to run away. Everyone stayed silent,

115
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:39,399
but only for a moment, because then Dash did something funny.

116
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,720
He grabbed a pine cone and tossed it toward a

117
00:09:42,759 --> 00:09:48,679
little branch for an easy easy basket and missed it completely.

118
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,120
The pine cone came right back and landed on his head.

119
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:59,679
Bonk ouch see. Dash laughed, I got it wrong too,

120
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:05,399
everybody gets it wrong. It's really no big deal. And

121
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Peepo's mummy flew down and settled right under her little

122
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:17,600
one's branch. Peepo's sweetheart, She said, I'm here. I'm always here,

123
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,639
even when you make a mistake, even if you fall

124
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:26,360
a thousand times, I'll stay right below you. That's what

125
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:34,279
family is, it never goes away. Then all the friends Dash, Ziggie,

126
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,879
Lily and Sky made a circle under the tree, side

127
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:43,840
by side with their arms open wide. We're here too,

128
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,519
they said, we're your net. If you fall, we'll catch you.

129
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:53,639
Peepo poked his little head out from under his wing.

130
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,720
He looked at his mummy, He looked at his new

131
00:10:57,799 --> 00:11:02,879
friends all ready below him, and he felt something warm,

132
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:09,399
so warm, in his tummy. He wasn't alone anymore. Even

133
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,559
if he made a mistake, someone was there for him.

134
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,480
He picked up the little golden light again. Ah, I'll

135
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:23,600
try again, he whispered. He opened his wings. He took

136
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,120
a breath, and this time, knowing that everyone was below him,

137
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:34,000
he wasn't so afraid any more. He flew. He flew

138
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:39,360
for the very first time, up up through the branches,

139
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,519
as high as he could go, trembling, but flying all

140
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:47,240
the way to the top of the tallest tree in

141
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:52,240
the forest. And there on the very top branch he

142
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:57,600
hung the little golden light. It shone. It was as

143
00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:00,320
if the whole forest lit up all at once once.

144
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:05,799
The dew burst with light like a thousand diamonds. All

145
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:09,639
the fireflies glowed at the same moment, and the hopping

146
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:15,440
forest shone brighter and more beautiful than before. I did it.

147
00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:22,960
Pepo shouted from up high. I flew, I flew. Everyone

148
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,879
clapped and jumped for joy, and at the far end

149
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:31,879
of the meadow, ever so slowly came Gastone, crossing the

150
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:36,639
finish line half an hour late. I made it. I

151
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:39,759
won the slowness race. And you know what I say

152
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:44,000
to you, That you were tenacious, which means you never

153
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,759
gave up. And that's the most beautiful thing of all.

154
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,600
There was a big celebration, with hugs, laughter, and the

155
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,720
light of the forest shining down on everyone. Then in

156
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:06,559
the distance they heard the sound again. Chew chew, chew, chew, Toby,

157
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:10,159
the Magic train had come back to get them. The

158
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,360
children waved good bye to Gastone, Peepo and his mummy

159
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,600
with their little hands, and climbed aboard. Toby puffed out

160
00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:22,799
his festive smoke and said, when you miss a jump,

161
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,679
you're not lost at all, for a friend is there

162
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,480
to catch your fall. The light comes back when we're

163
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,320
side by side and families near to be your guide.

164
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,440
And as the little train headed home under a sky

165
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,600
