1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,399
Speaker 1: That morning, the sky was gray like a wooly blanket,

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,519
ziggy lily. Sky and Dash were in the garden building

3
00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:11,359
little towns of pebbles. But the wind kept blowing away

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,960
the leaf roofs, and nobody could finish anything. Ugh huffed

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,600
Dash to day, nothing is working at all. Then all

6
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:26,320
of a sudden, the gray opened up, like a curtain

7
00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:34,039
from the sky. Lots of colorful petals began to fall, pink, yellow, blue,

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,240
and they smelled of flowers and spring time. It was

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,039
a rain of petals. The children lifted their hands to

10
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:47,840
catch them, and they laughed because the petals tickled their noses.

11
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:52,439
And in the middle of that sweet smelling rain, they

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:58,320
heard a sound they knew, chew, chew. It was Toby,

13
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:02,159
the magic train, all shiny with petals on his roof.

14
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:07,640
He opened his little door and said, come aboard, dear friends,

15
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:11,920
Come quickly, hop up close and ride with me. There's

16
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,840
a golden place that waits for you, beside the sparkling sea,

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,480
where the waves bring little shell bells ringing soft and clear.

18
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,959
And someone's crying, dreaming of a home to hold them near.

19
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,359
The children looked at each other, curious some one's crying

20
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:39,079
asked Lily, and her blue eyes grew very careful. They

21
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,640
hopped up quickly, and Toby set off fast as the

22
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,640
sweet smelling wind. The little train left them on a

23
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,959
beautiful beach, curved like a crescent moon, with golden sand

24
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:58,519
that sparkled. This is golden Crescent Bay, sky red on

25
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,120
a wooden sign. The waves came in slowly and left

26
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,280
shells on the shore that, touching each other, tinkled like

27
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,280
little bells. Far off out in the sea, there were

28
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:17,479
three pointy rocks, one beside the other. Those are called

29
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:22,759
the three Brothers, said Ziggy. But behind the three brothers

30
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,240
there was a light, little mist, like whipped cream on

31
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:31,080
the water, and from that mist came a soft, soft

32
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,879
sound some one crying. Lily didn't think twice. She ran

33
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,159
to the shore. There's some one out there among the waves,

34
00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:46,800
rocking back and forth, there was a little wooden boat.

35
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,879
Her sail was a bit crooked, and she had two

36
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:58,120
sad little eyes painted on the front. She really was crying. Hello,

37
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,319
said Lily softly, Why are you crying? My name is Nina.

38
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,879
The little boat answered in a tiny voice. I went

39
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,400
out for a ride. But then the fog came and

40
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,080
now I can't find the way home. My home is

41
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,439
Lantern Harbor, but it's hidden back there where you can't

42
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:25,639
see anything. I've lost my smile because a boat with

43
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,879
no home doesn't know how to smile any more. Sky

44
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:35,360
put a hand on her heart, poor thing, she whispered.

45
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Even Dash had gone quiet, and Dash was almost always cheerful.

46
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,800
It was right at that moment that splash, a spray

47
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,280
of water soaked everyone from head to toe. Hey cried.

48
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,479
The children. Out of the water leaped a dolphin who

49
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,319
was laughing, doing flips and spinning around in a spiral

50
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:07,240
like a spinning top. Strangely, he smelled of watermelon and salt. Surprise,

51
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:11,639
I'm Splash, said the dolphin, and with his tail he

52
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:16,240
quickly hid something in the sand, looking for a shiny shell.

53
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,560
I have a very special one, but guess where I

54
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,920
put it? He he splash, jumped, splashed, and played tricks.

55
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:29,519
He hid Dash his bucket under a wave, then tickled

56
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,519
Sky with the tip of his tail. At first the

57
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,240
children laughed, but Nina, the little boat was still crying,

58
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:45,120
all alone among the waves. And then Splash stopped. The

59
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,160
playful dolphin looked at Nina. He saw her real tears,

60
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,600
and something inside his golden heart told him it was

61
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,639
no longer the time to joke. He stopped laughing, swam

62
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,279
slowly toward the little boat, and spoke to her in

63
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,879
a gentle voice. Don't cry, little one. I know the

64
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,920
sea like my own fins. I'll take you home myself.

65
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:19,160
Then he swam back and dug in the sand. He

66
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:25,240
pulled out a shiny, pink shell. This is my shell compass,

67
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,959
he explained. If you hold it just right, it shows

68
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,680
you the way to the harbor. I hid it for fun.

69
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:41,519
I'm sorry. What does compass mean? Asked Dash, puzzled a

70
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:46,680
compass said, Splash is a magic thing that always tells

71
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,000
you where to go, even when you're lost, like a

72
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:56,759
friendly little arrow. Ooh, they all said together, and they

73
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,519
felt a little bit bigger. But there was a problem.

74
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,399
Splash explained that Nina was stuck in a shallow a

75
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:09,720
spot where the water is low and the sand holds

76
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,040
the boat tight. To free her, some one has to

77
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:18,879
go into the water and push her out. Then, following

78
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,079
the shell compass, we crossed the fog together. The children

79
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,279
looked at the water near by. It was deep dark

80
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,600
and the waves were a little higher. Ziggy took a

81
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:38,480
step back, Sky squeezed her hands together. Dash, who was

82
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:45,199
usually afraid of nothing, said quietly, I deep water scares

83
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,240
me a little. There was a silence, only the tinkling

84
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,319
of the shells and Nina's soft crying. And then Lily

85
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,959
looked at the little boat. She looked into her sad

86
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:05,240
little eyes. She felt her heart beating hard, thump, thump, thump,

87
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,439
because she, too, just a little, was afraid of that

88
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,000
deep water. But then she thought of Nina, alone in

89
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:21,040
the fog, with no home and no smile. Lily took

90
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:25,839
a big breath. Then she did the bravest thing of all.

91
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:33,160
She smiled at Nina, a real smile, warm, the kind

92
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:39,000
that says, don't be afraid. I'm here, Nina. She said,

93
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,439
Now I'm going to take you home. Look what a

94
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,000
big smile I'm giving you, and the little boat, seeing

95
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,480
that smile, stopped crying. For a moment. Lily clenched her fists,

96
00:07:53,959 --> 00:08:02,040
counted one, two, three, and dove into the deep water. Splash.

97
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:07,879
Her heart was beating so fast, the water was cold

98
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,839
and came up to her shoulders. For a moment, she

99
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:17,160
really was scared, but splash swam right up beside her

100
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,720
and did a funny flip right on her nose, so

101
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720
that Lily burst out laughing and her fear melted like

102
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:30,199
sugar in the water. Well done, said the dolphin. Now

103
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:34,559
let's push together. Lily put her hands on Nina's wood

104
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:41,399
and pushed. She pushed with all her might come out

105
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:48,799
of there. Seeing her so brave, the others came forward too.

106
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,679
Ziggy went into the water up to his knees and

107
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:55,759
reached out a hand. Sky held him by his shirt

108
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,679
so he wouldn't slip. Dash with a big breath, just

109
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:05,000
like Lili's went in too. If you can do it,

110
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:12,360
I'll try two all together. One, two, three. They pushed,

111
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,480
and Nina, with a little pop, broke free from the

112
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:24,080
shallow We did it, they cried, But the celebration didn't

113
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,960
last long because in front of them was the fog,

114
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:35,799
thick and white, hiding everything. Nina trembled. I'm still afraid

115
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:41,440
of getting lost, she said. Not with this, said Splash,

116
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,759
and he gave the shell compass to Lily. Hold it

117
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,159
to your ear. You'll hear it sing louder toward the

118
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:55,120
way home. Lily held the shell to her ear. Inside

119
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,399
she heard a sweet song, like the sea whispering. She

120
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,240
turned to the right, the song grew soft. She turned

121
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:10,960
to the left, toward the fog. The song grew loud, clear, Sure,

122
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,399
this way home is this way. So off they went,

123
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:22,480
splash in front, pushing Nina with his nose, Lily with

124
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,919
the singing shell, and the other three keeping the rhythm.

125
00:10:27,639 --> 00:10:31,360
They went into the white fog where you couldn't see anything.

126
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,039
But then in the middle of the white a little

127
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:42,279
light came on, then another, then another one more. The

128
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:48,559
lanterns cried sky, her eyes shining. The harbor is lighting

129
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:53,360
up for Nina. One after another, the lanterns of the

130
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:57,759
little harbor lit up like warm little stars to show

131
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,759
the way for some one coming home. And at the

132
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,720
far end of the fog appeared the little harbor, cozy

133
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:11,879
and welcoming with its wooden dock and golden lights. Nina

134
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:16,879
glided into her harbor, and then the most beautiful magic

135
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:23,799
of all happened on her wood. Slowly, slowly, the smile

136
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:32,919
came back, a wide, happy wooden smile. I'm home. I'm home,

137
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,879
Thank you, Lily, thank you every one. And Nina's smile

138
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:44,320
was so happy that it spread to everyone Ziggy laughed,

139
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,159
Dash did flips like Splash. Sky had eyes a little

140
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,120
shiny with joy, and Lily, all wet and happy, smiled

141
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,960
more than anyone you see, said Splash, giving Lily a

142
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,519
gentle tap with his fin Your smile changed Nina's whole day,

143
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:14,519
know her whole life. Splash said good bye with three

144
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,360
spiral flips and one last spray of watermelon and salt.

145
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:27,600
And in that moment among the lanterns, it was heard again, Chew, chew.

146
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,279
Toby the magic train had arrived to take them home.

147
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,840
He opened his door and said, well done, dear children.

148
00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:43,559
What kind hearts you carry? Deep and true? You gave

149
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,360
a home to one who cried, What joy for me?

150
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:54,360
And you A smile you give is like a treasure, tiny,

151
00:12:54,879 --> 00:13:01,559
warm and gold. It turns a sad gray day to sunshine,

152
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:07,279
worth more than can be told. The children climbed aboard,

153
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,279
waving to Nina and Splash until they couldn't see them

154
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,559
any more. And while Toby raced through the evening among

155
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:20,320
the petals and the lanterns, Lily looked at the sea

156
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,440
and smiled again because she had discovered something wonderful that

157
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,080
when you're a little bit afraid a smile given to

158
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,919
someone can give you all the courage in the world.
