1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,639
Speaker 1: It was early morning, and the sun stretched slowly behind

2
00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:10,080
the hills. On the garden grass, tiny drops of dew

3
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:14,839
had appeared, and they sparkled like little diamonds when the

4
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:20,559
light touched them. Sky was kneeling on the lawn, her

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,239
nose close to a blade of grass, watching one little

6
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:33,200
drop that looked like a whole world inside a tiny pearl. Look.

7
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,240
She said softly, every drop has a little sun inside it.

8
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,479
Ziggy came hopping over like a spring, with his four

9
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,079
cats trotting behind him. I can see a rainbow in there,

10
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:52,719
he shouted, and he tried to blow on it to

11
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:57,600
make it fly away. Lily, with her bright blue and

12
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:01,640
determined eyes, gathered the on the tip of her finger.

13
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,120
They're cold and light, she said, I won't break them.

14
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:14,280
See you have to be gentle. Dash, on the other hand,

15
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:19,959
was running in zigzags on the wet grass, leaving slippery footprints.

16
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,239
I'm a dew skater, he laughed, and he almost landed

17
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,400
on his bottom. That was when from far away, a

18
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,200
happy and familiar sound came along, Chew chew. Out of

19
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,560
the morning mist appeared Toby the Magic Train, with his

20
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,680
shiny wheels and soft white smoke, like cotton candy. He

21
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:52,439
stopped beside the children and said, as always in rhyme,

22
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,480
good morning, children, the dawn is bright. Climb aboard quickly.

23
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:03,239
We're off in fly light. I'll take you far where

24
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,159
the blue sea sighs, where a little light in the

25
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,039
darkness cries. The children looked at each other with big eyes.

26
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,599
A light that sighs in the dark, what did that mean?

27
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,159
But with Toby, you never knew where you were going,

28
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,360
and that was the fun of it. They all climbed aboard,

29
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,400
and Ziggy's cats curled up by the window, chew chew,

30
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:38,840
and off they went, the little train rolling away lightly.

31
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:44,000
Toby ran through the fields, then through the sand dunes

32
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,879
until the air smelled of salt. But when they reached

33
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,080
the seashore, the sun had already gone to sleep. It

34
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,080
was evening, and a light fog was settling over the water,

35
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,360
soft like a black It made everything a little mysterious.

36
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,080
The sea seemed to vanish inside a gray cloud. How strange,

37
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:17,319
said Lily. You can't see anything out there anymore. Sky

38
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,240
pointed with her finger. On top of a rock stood

39
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,840
a lighthouse, tall and silent, but it was dark, not

40
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,199
one little light, not a single beam, only darkness. The

41
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,280
lighthouse isn't shining, whispered Sky, And without its light, the

42
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,599
fishermen's boats can't find their way home in the fog.

43
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,439
It was true. Far away you could hear the worried

44
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,159
voices of the fishermen rowing slowly, without knowing which way

45
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,159
to go. The children's hearts squeezed a little. We have

46
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:04,680
to help them, said Sky, and the others nodded. Toby

47
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,719
whistled sweetly and opened his little doors right at the

48
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:14,759
edge of the water chew, and as if by magic,

49
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,079
the children found themselves sliding down down under the sea,

50
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,360
without getting wet, and breathing like little fish. They floated

51
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:30,519
gently all the way down, where a beautiful place was

52
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,120
waiting for them, the Whispering coral garden. It was a

53
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:40,680
place full of corals of every color, and tall seaweed

54
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,560
that swayed like light curtains. The current made a sweet sound,

55
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,040
like a whisper that seemed to speak to those who

56
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:57,879
listened with their hearts. But here too, just like up above,

57
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,519
everything was in the dark. How sad, said Ziggy. It

58
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:11,920
looks like it's sleeping. Once upon a time, said a slow,

59
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:19,839
warm voice. This garden shone like a thousand lanterns. The

60
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:25,720
children turned around. From behind a coral came an old

61
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,439
crab with a slightly worn shell and two big claws

62
00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:37,439
that moved slowly. He walked sideways, the way crabs do,

63
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:43,560
and looked at them with kind little eyes. Hello, my

64
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,639
little ones, he said. It's been so long since I've

65
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,639
seen any children down here. Why is everything dark, asked Lily.

66
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,399
Grandpa Crab sighed, because the light from the lighthouse up

67
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:06,319
there used to reach all the way down here and

68
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:12,079
make the corals shine. With these claws, I used to

69
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,319
build little coral lights to brighten the sea bed. But

70
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:22,959
now the lighthouse is dark, and I I've been left

71
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,959
in the dark and all alone, he said. A strange word.

72
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,560
I've become a hermit, he said. Ziggy tilted his head

73
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:45,600
er her a what, Grandpa Crab smiled softly. A hermit,

74
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,879
my little one, is someone who lives all alone, far

75
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,639
away from everyone else, like me down here, with no

76
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,879
one to talk to. Sky looked at him. For a

77
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,759
long time. While the others were thinking about the dark lighthouse,

78
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:13,199
she was thinking about those words all alone. She came

79
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:17,160
close to the crab and gently touched one of his claws.

80
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,399
Grandpa Crab, she said, in her sweet little voice, you

81
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:28,319
didn't just lose the light, You lost someone to turn

82
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:34,199
it on with. The old Crab stayed quiet. His little

83
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:40,319
eyes grew a bit shiny. It's been so long, he murmured,

84
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,920
since I forgot how nice it is to build something

85
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:52,839
together with someone. For a moment, nobody spoke. Then Sky smiled,

86
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:57,240
and in her smile was all the warmth in the world.

87
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,279
Then let's build a new light together, she said, one

88
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:09,800
that brings the fishermen home. Grandpa Crab straightened up on

89
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:14,560
his little legs. Of course, if we go back up

90
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,040
to the beach, with what the sea washes ashore, we

91
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:23,879
can make a little boat, a boat that carries a flame,

92
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:31,240
like a floating lighthouse. The children clapped their hands. What

93
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:35,919
a lovely idea. They all went back up together to

94
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,240
the beach, where the fog kept on dancing. They started

95
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:46,000
searching in the sand. It was a little adventure. The

96
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,919
night was dark, and it wasn't easy to find the

97
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:56,000
right things. Lily as stubborn as ever, moved a heavy

98
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:02,519
pile of seaweed, and underneath found two stoney sticks. These

99
00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:08,799
won't snap, she said, pleased, they'll be the hue Dash

100
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:14,320
zoomed back and forth on the sand collecting seashells. Look

101
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,080
how many I've got, he shouted, But he tripped over

102
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,240
a little crab and rolled down a dune, laughing, with

103
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:28,960
the shells flying everywhere. Oops, I've planted them all. And

104
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:34,960
everyone laughed, even Grandpa Crab Ziggy meanwhile, had stopped to think.

105
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:41,000
Then something sparked in his eyes. Wait, he said, we

106
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,840
need something to keep the flame lit even in the wind.

107
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,600
He ran toward the rocks, climbed up with his hands

108
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,639
and feet to an old, rusty lantern stuck between the stones.

109
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:56,720
He jumped down with a big leap and showed it

110
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:02,519
to everyone here. Inside this, the flame won't blow out.

111
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,679
Grandpa Crab nodded proudly, Well done, my little one. The

112
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:15,039
mind and the hands together. Calmly and patiently, the old

113
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:19,399
crab joined the sticks with his skillful claws, tied them

114
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:23,240
with the strongest seaweed, and set the shells all around

115
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,559
so they would sparkle. On top, he placed the lantern.

116
00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:33,879
The children helped him, one held, one pushed, one blew

117
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,200
the sand away, and while they worked, the crab was

118
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,879
no longer alone. He laughed, He told stories, he taught

119
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,399
Here's the secret, my little ones, he said at one point,

120
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:54,000
looking at Sky. The strongest light isn't the light of

121
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,240
the lighthouse. It's the light of those who wait for

122
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,440
you at home. That's why the little boats want to

123
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,720
come back, not for the dock, but for those who

124
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:12,039
hug them when they arrive. Sky nodded and felt her

125
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,240
eyes grow a little shiny, but the good kind, the

126
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,919
kind that comes when something is right. At last, the

127
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:25,639
little boat was ready. They lit the tiny flame inside

128
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:29,279
the lantern, and the shells began to shine like little

129
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,879
stars on the water. Gently they placed it in the sea.

130
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:39,399
The lighthouse boat floated softly, pushing its little light into

131
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:44,360
the fog. And then it happened. In the dark of

132
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:49,039
the sea. One by one, the fisherman's boats saw that light.

133
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:53,960
Over there, there's a light. They heard some one shout,

134
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,120
and they began to row toward it, following it the

135
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:03,039
way you follow a star. One after another, the boats

136
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:06,279
found their way back to the harbor, and the fishermen

137
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,759
came home, where their loved ones were waiting for them,

138
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:14,879
with lanterns lit and arms wide open. Down in the

139
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,759
coral garden. A wonderful thing happened. The light from the

140
00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:22,960
little boat reached all the way down to the bottom

141
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,360
of the sea, and the corals one by one began

142
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:32,120
to shine again. The garden glowed once more with a

143
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,799
thousand colors, and the whispers of the current seemed almost

144
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,279
to sing. But the most beautiful thing wasn't the light.

145
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,159
It was that Grandpa Crab, for the first time in

146
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,279
such a long while, was not alone. We'll come back

147
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,559
to visit you, Sky told him, hugging one of his claws.

148
00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:02,559
We promise, we promise, said Ziggy Lily, and Dash too.

149
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,600
The Crab's little eyes shone brighter than the corals. Then

150
00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:12,720
he said, his voice trembling a little with happiness. This

151
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:19,159
is no longer an empty burrow. It's home because now

152
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:26,879
I have friends who love me. Toby's soft whistle rang out, Chew, chew.

153
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,559
It was time to go back. The children waved good

154
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:36,320
bye to Grandpa Crab until the glowing garden disappeared behind them,

155
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:41,159
and they climbed onto the magic train, tired and happy.

156
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:46,159
As soon as they were seated, Toby said, as always

157
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,399
in rhyme, you've lit a light that is warm and bright.

158
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,120
Not the lighthouse beam, but the heart's own light. The

159
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,840
finest home is not built of walls, but of those

160
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:04,519
who love you and hear your calls. And as the

161
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,799
little train carried them home through the parting fog and

162
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,679
the first stars, Sky looked out the window and smiled.

163
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,960
She had understood something important. Home is not a place

164
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,399
made of walls. It's made of those who wait for you,

165
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,759
those who hug you, those who light a little light

166
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,799
for you. And that night, falling asleep in the arms

167
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,879
