Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Once upon a time, in the vast canvas of the
night sky, there lived a unique creature named Glimmer. She
was not your ordinary unicorn, but a light unicorn with
a silvery mane that sparkled with the luminescence of a
thousand stars. Her unique ability was to weave bridges of starlight,
connecting different celestial bodies and creating a beautiful spectacle for

(00:28):
those on Earth to demire. Glimmer loved her work, ensuring
the stars were connected, ensuring they never felt alone in
the infinite expanse of the universe. She cherished the oohs
and ahs of the creatures looking up from Earth, their
eyes twinkling with wonder at the spectacle she created. One day,

(00:49):
Glimmer faced an unprecedented challenge. Two stars, Vega and Altaire,
situated at distant ends of the galaxy, requested a bridge.
They were old friends who had drifted apart over millions
of years due to the cosmic dance of the galaxies.
Longing to reconnect, they called upon Glimmer. As Glimmer looked

(01:09):
at the vast expanse between Vega and Altaire, she felt uncertain.
This task was far more daunting than anything she had
ever attempted. She wondered if she could create a bridge
so long, whether her light would be strong enough. Doubt
cladded her mind, and she considered refusing the task. Just then,
Glimmer encountered Comment, a celestial traveler known for his speed

(01:34):
and wisdom. Sensing her distress, Comment asked her about her problem.
Glimmer shared her predicament, her fear about not being able
to connect Vega and Altaire. Comment looked at Glimmer, his
fiery eyes softening Glimmer, he said, remember, no task is
too big when done bit by bit. You have connected

(01:55):
stars before, and this is no different. Yes, it's a
greater distance, but your task remains the same. And remember
you aren't just connecting stars, You're reconnecting old friends. Inspired
by Comet's words, Glimmer decided to take up the task.
Each night, she worked diligently weaving her bridge of starlight

(02:17):
bit by bit, her path illuminated by the light of
Vega and Altaire. The creatures on Earth watched in awe
as each night the bridge grew a little longer, a
streak of silver light across the dark sky. After many nights,
Glimmer's bridge was finally completed, Vegan Altai, once distant, were
now connected. Their light, now combined, was the brightest in

(02:41):
the night sky. Overjoyed, they thanked Glimmer their light dancing
across her starlet bridge. Glimmer felt a sense of satisfaction
unlike any she had experienced before. She had not only
connected two stars, but also helped two old friends re unite.
She really the power of connection, unity and how it

(03:03):
could light up the universe. She understood that no task
was too big when done bit by bit, and most importantly,
she learned that she was capable of more than she
had ever imagined. And so as we gaze upon the
starlets guide tonight, let's look for glimmer starlet bridge a
symbol of connection, unity and the power of determination. Remember,

(03:26):
my dear, no task is too big when taken one
step at a time, and no distance too great when
bridge by connection and friendship. Good night, and dream of
the starlet bridges that await you in life.
