1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,879
Speaker 1: That morning, the sky was covered with gray clouds, soft

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,560
like lots of little pillows. Ziggy, Lily, Sky, and Dash

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,359
sat on the porch rug drawing with crayons. Outside. It

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,600
had started to rain, but it was not any ordinary rain.

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:27,239
It was rain that sang. Do you hear that? Said Ziggy,

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,559
lifting his nose. The drops fell on the leaves and

7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,719
went tin tin. They fell on the roofs and went

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,240
tawn tawn. They fell into a puddle and went PLoP PLoP.

9
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:46,759
Its music, laughed Dash, clapping his hands to the beat,

10
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,200
and he began to jump around the room as if

11
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,719
he were dancing with the rain. Ziggy's four cats were

12
00:00:54,799 --> 00:01:00,000
all there. Sophia the little black cat, purred by the radiator,

13
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:05,280
Dora the brave tabby, watched the rain from the window

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:11,400
without any fear, and Poldo, fat and lazy, slept next

15
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,680
to his brother Milo, who kept his ears straight up,

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,640
ready to spring. Then, far far away, the sky made

17
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:28,519
a sound broom. It was a storm, but it was

18
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,840
very far off. It rumbled softly like a tummy that

19
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,480
is hungry. Ooh, what a grumbler that storm is, said Lily,

20
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,799
who was not afraid of anything. But it's way over there,

21
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:49,040
let's not think about it. And right at that moment,

22
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,159
from the end of the garden came a sound that

23
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:59,879
everyone knew well. Chew, chew. It was Toby, the magic train,

24
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:06,040
with his colorful smoke rising up to the clouds. Toby stopped,

25
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,719
made his lamps sparkle, and said, hello, dear children, what

26
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:15,919
a fine little crew. To day, I will take you

27
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,120
on a trip in the dew. There's a big light

28
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,639
that spins way up high, guiding the boats as they

29
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:29,439
sail on by, hop on in a hurry, come sing

30
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,639
and come play down there a small fish lost his

31
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,520
colors to day. The children looked at each other a

32
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,240
big light that spins who had lost their colors? They

33
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,800
were far too curious. Every one climbed on the train,

34
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:53,560
cats included, and off they went, through the singing rain

35
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,560
and the warm wind that pushed the clouds. The train

36
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,560
ran and ran, and then it stopped at the top

37
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:08,280
of a cliff. There, very tall stood a lighthouse. It

38
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,400
was the Calm Light Lighthouse. At night, it lit up

39
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:16,159
a golden light that combed the sea and helped the

40
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:21,759
boats come home. Now in the daytime, its lamp glowed

41
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,479
softly behind the glass. How wonderful, said Sky, with her

42
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,759
nose in the air. It's as tall as a mountain.

43
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Below the lighthouse was a little bay, and from the

44
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,199
bay came a voice that never stopped talking. Welcome, Welcome,

45
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,840
What a damp and dreary day, isn't it? Dreary means

46
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,240
gray and a little sad, You know when the sky

47
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,080
makes a grumpy face. I am Warble, the most singing

48
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,120
frog in all the sea. I organize concerts on the

49
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,599
water lilies. Would you like to hear a song? I

50
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,240
know six hundred It was a green frog that jumped

51
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,080
and talked and talked and talked. She said, dreary, whispered Dash,

52
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,800
What does that mean? It means a gray day with

53
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,439
no joy, explained Ziggy, like to day with all these clouds, Ah,

54
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,160
said Dash, glad to have learned a new word. Warble

55
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:34,279
gave a hop and turned serious, which was rare for her.

56
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:39,240
But the most dreary thing is something else. Come and

57
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,519
see poor Pip. The children went close to the water,

58
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,279
and to their great surprise they found that they could

59
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:52,240
breathe under the sea, like inside a dream. They went

60
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:56,040
down into the bay, which was called color Cove, but

61
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:03,240
the cove had no colors any more. It was all dull, gray, dim,

62
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:08,519
And in the middle, still behind a rock, was a

63
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:16,720
little fish. He was gray too, gray like ash Hello,

64
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,439
said Ziggy, are you Pip? The little fish nodded shy.

65
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,879
Once I was blue, red, and golden. I was the

66
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:36,439
most colorful fish in the sea. Now I'm like this,

67
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,600
I feel different from everyone. I'm ashamed, and I hide

68
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:50,199
back here. Sky came close and said gently, but what

69
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:57,279
happened to your colors? Warble explained, It's all the fault

70
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:04,160
of this junk look. And indeed the cove was full

71
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:09,560
of things that should not be there, an old tangled net,

72
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:17,560
dented cans, a broken umbrella open like a bat. All

73
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:22,160
these dull things made shadow and switched off the light

74
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:27,680
of the lighthouse, and without light, the colors of the

75
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:34,199
sea could not be seen anymore. The lighthouse sends its light,

76
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,759
said Pip, but it doesn't reach me, and I stay gray.

77
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:47,360
Lily clenched her fists. Then we'll bring the light to you.

78
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:53,360
But how the light of the lighthouse went straight out

79
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:56,800
to the open sea, not down to the bottom of

80
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:03,160
the cove. Ziggy stay quiet. He looked at the lighthouse.

81
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,360
He looked at the water. He looked at a piece

82
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,680
of glass shining on the bottom, and then a little

83
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:20,040
light bulb switched on in his head. Aha, here's the idea.

84
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,639
I've got it, cried Ziggy. The light goes straight right,

85
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:31,600
but if we put something that mirrors it, the light bounces,

86
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,439
like when I play with my little mirror and make

87
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,480
the dot dance on the wall. We can bounce the

88
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:45,160
lighthouse light all the way to Pip. You're a genius,

89
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,000
said Dash. Ziggy took a smooth shell and pointed it

90
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,480
toward the light. He waited, but the shell was white

91
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,360
and rough. It mirrored nothing. The dot of light did

92
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:08,399
not arrive. It's not working, said Ziggy, and for a

93
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,439
moment a little sadness came over him. He had thought

94
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:22,120
he'd solved everything and instead nothing. Ah, said Dash, throwing

95
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:27,319
up his arms. But Lily shook her head. Then let's

96
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:31,319
try again with something else. We're not giving up on

97
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:36,360
the very first try. They searched through the junk and

98
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,960
found a piece of mirror, one of the real ones

99
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,039
that reflect. Ziggy pointed it toward the lighthouse. This time

100
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:52,480
a beam shot out, but it went crooked, all crooked

101
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:58,600
and landed on a rock instead of on Pip almost

102
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:05,840
almost said Sky, we're so close. Ziggy stopped to think,

103
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:13,360
and he understood something important. Wait, there are two problems,

104
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,879
not one. First, there's too much junk making shadow. Second,

105
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:25,960
I have to point the mirror at just the right spot.

106
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:32,320
We have to do both things together. And so began

107
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:38,360
the busiest part. The children dived into the cove. Lily,

108
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,519
tough as ever, pulled the old net with all her might,

109
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:48,440
her feet braced against a rock. Dash zoomed about and

110
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,240
gathered the cans one after another, back and forth like

111
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:59,120
an arrow. Sky, who was tall, reached the bottom and

112
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,320
grabbed the oke an umbrella. Ziggy swam back and forth,

113
00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:08,799
carrying everything out of the water and piling it up

114
00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:12,120
on the shore. The cats helped too, in their own way.

115
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:17,600
Milo nimble made big leaps from rock to rock and

116
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:23,039
caught the pieces that floated. Dora brave dived in without

117
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,200
fear into the waves. Poldo Chubby sat on top of

118
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,519
the net so it wouldn't fly away with the wind,

119
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,919
and Sophia gentle stayed close to Pip to give him courage.

120
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:42,279
With her purring. Slowly, the cove was cleared but it

121
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:46,879
still wasn't enough. They had to point the light. Ziggy

122
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,960
looked up. There was a very tall rock right under

123
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,200
the lighthouse. If he climbed up there, he could catch

124
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,960
the light and send it down straight onto Pip. I'll climb,

125
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:04,279
I'm up, said Ziggy. The rock was slippery from the

126
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,120
singing rain. Ziggy climbed up, one foot after another, gripping

127
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,759
with his fingers. His legs trembled at the top. He

128
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:19,840
balanced himself with the mirror held tight in his hands.

129
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,399
The far off storm rumbled louder, as if to say,

130
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,600
be careful. Ziggy pointed the mirror. The beam shot out,

131
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,919
but it was still a little crooked. Ziggy leaned forward,

132
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:43,200
lost his balance, wobbled to one side. Oooh, everyone's heart

133
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:49,120
stopped for a moment. Luckily, Ziggy planted his feet, spread

134
00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:52,559
his arms like a tight rope walker, and did not fall.

135
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:57,519
You can do it, cried Lily from below. Just a

136
00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:03,240
little more, Ziggy breathed. He tilted the mirror slowly, a

137
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,320
little higher, a little to the side, and at last

138
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:13,080
the golden beam of the lighthouse hit Pip square on,

139
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,720
and it was magic. The gray little fish lit up

140
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,000
first a dot of blue, then a stripe of red,

141
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:31,480
then a thousand golden sparkles. Pip turned colorful, more beautiful

142
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,600
than before, and the whole color cove lit up again

143
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:41,200
like a rainbow under the sea. My colors cried Pip,

144
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:48,120
spinning around happily. They're back. They were always there, said Sky,

145
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,159
with a gentle smile. They were only waiting for a

146
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:58,480
little light. Warble deeply moved, gave a very high jump,

147
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,960
and now the concert. And she sang a funny song,

148
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,000
while the little fish danced and the water lilies swayed

149
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,159
to the beat. Even the far off storm seemed to

150
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,759
stop rumbling just to listen. When it was time to

151
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,320
go home, Toby, the magic train was already there, waiting

152
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,399
on the cliff. Well done, dear children. You kept trying

153
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,799
with heart. One shot went crooked, but that's just the

154
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:35,720
start who slips up once and then tries once more.

155
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,960
In the end will succeed and find what's in store.

156
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,639
Hop on and be happy. Let's head for home. Mistakes,

157
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:52,240
help us learn wherever we roam, Cheo, cheo, and off

158
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,600
they went through the rain that still sang, every one

159
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,279
heading home with the golden light of the lighthouse in

160
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,480
their eyes and a rainbow. Little fish waving from the

161
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:04,759
sea
