00:00Have you ever looked up at the moon and wondered what it's doing up there?
00:03What if I told you the moon has a secret nighttime hobby that helps bring sweet dreams to children everywhere?
00:09A long time ago when nights were quieter and the sky was much clearer,
00:14the moon ruled the sky like a gentle king.
00:18Every night, he lit up the world below with his silver light. The trees swayed peacefully.
00:23Birds tucked their heads under their wings and children drifted into sleep under his calming glow.
00:30The clouds weren't his enemies.
00:31And when the night comes again, the moon is happy to play hide-and-seek with him.
00:37He loves to watch them twirl and dance across the sky.
00:40And he loves how their game helps bring sweet dreams to children everywhere.
00:45He saw a little girl looking up at the sky.
00:47He knew he wasn't just a ball of rock in the sky.
00:51They're not fighting. They're just playing.
00:53And they want you to close your eyes and drift gently into a peaceful sleep
00:57over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
01:02when the nights were long and cold and the days were dark and old
01:06and the fire burned low and the wind blew cold.
01:10While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping
01:14as of someone gently rapping.
01:18Rapping at my chamber door.
01:20Tis, some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door.
01:24Only this and nothing more.
01:26Ah, distinctly, I remember.
01:29It was in the bleak December.
01:31And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
01:35Eagerly, I wished a morrow.
01:37Vainly, I had sought to borrow from my books
01:40surcease of sorrow.
01:42Sorrow for the lost Lenore.
01:44For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore.
01:48He was a friend to children, bringing them dreams and wonder every night.
01:52And he knew that his nighttime hobby was more than just a game.
01:56It was a way to connect with the world below.
01:59To remind everyone that even in the darkest night,
02:02there's always a little bit of magic left.
02:06She had bright, curious eyes and a big smile.
02:10Why do the clouds move?
02:11She asked her mother, pointing to the moon,
02:14peeking out from behind a fluffy white shape.
02:16Her mother looked up and smiled.
02:18That's the moon!
02:19My love, playing a game with his cloudy friends!
02:23Can't you hear them giggling up there?
02:26The little girl giggled, too, and clapped her hands.
02:29I hear them!
02:30I hear them!
02:31She said, her eyes sparkling with joy.
02:35They were his friends!
02:36He would often look down at the earth and see the children sleeping under his light.
02:41He would think about how his soft, silvery glow helped him dream.
02:46He loved being the moon, and he loved his nighttime hobby.
02:50They helped make the night magical.
02:52The game continued until the first light of dawn began to touch the horizon.
02:56As the sky started to turn pink and orange, the clouds grew thin and wispy.
03:01The moon knew it was time to rest.
03:03I'm sleepy!
03:04He yawned, and the clouds whispered.
03:06Time for bed!
03:08They snuggled close to the moon one last time, hiding his face with their soft, cool touch.
03:14And then the sun rose higher and higher until he was awake.
03:17The clouds parted to let him shine, and the moon waved goodbye to his cloudy friends.
03:23He watched as they floated away, looking like white feathers scattered on blue silk.
03:28Then he did something very special!
03:30The moon took a deep breath and sent a tiny bit of his cool, calm light into each cloud.
03:35The clouds glowed softly like tiny white lanterns floating in the sky.
03:40And the moon hoped that the children below saw the dancing clouds and smiled in their dreams.
03:45But the moon had a little problem.
03:48The clouds!
03:48The clouds would often gather together, thick and fluffy, and float right in front of the moon.
03:54Whenever they came, his light would disappear, and the night would become a little darker.
04:01A little lonelier.
04:03One night, the moon finally spoke.
04:06Why do you always cover me?
04:09He asked.
04:10Why do you hide my light every night?
04:12The clouds chuckled softly.
04:14We're not trying to hide your light, they said kindly.
04:17We just want to play, come, let's play a game.
04:21The moon tilted slightly.
04:23A game?
04:24What kind?
04:25We're trying to hide you, the clouds said.
04:27And you try to shine through us.
04:30Let's see who wins.
04:32The moon smiled.
04:34All right!
04:35He agreed.
04:36And so, the game began.
04:38The moon shone brightly.
04:40But the clouds drifted in front of him, blocking his silvery glow.
04:44Then the moon peeked out from behind a cloud, like a little sliver of moonlight cheese.
04:49And the clouds rushed to cover him again, giggling softly as they played their game of hide-and-seek.
04:55The moon loved playing his game with the clouds.
04:58It tickled him to see them scurry around, trying to block his light.
05:01He chased him around the sky, and they chased him.
05:05Sometimes the clouds would gather close, making a thick, dark blanket across the moon.
05:11In those moments, the moon felt a little scared.
05:14The darkness felt heavy and cold, and he missed the warmth of the sun.
05:19When that happened, the moon would call out to the clouds.
05:23Hey!
05:23I can't see!
05:25I can't see!
05:26And the clouds would rush away, potting for a moment so the moon could peek through.
05:30The moon loved when that happened, because then the night wouldn't be too dark!
05:34And the children below could still see his silvery lights.
05:38Little by little, the moon realized something.
05:41Now, whenever the moon sees these glowing clouds during the day, he knows his cloudy friends are playing!
05:48After the moon finished his nightly game of hide-and-seek, one day, while the moon was playing with the clouds,
05:53from that day on, whenever the moon saw the little girl,
05:57no, whenever you see the moon hiding and peeking out from behind the clouds,
06:02don't worry!
06:03The end.
