sammy and the leap of faith the first
0:03
jump is the biggest adventure once upon
0:07
a time in the cozy corner of a leafy
0:09
forest lived a little squirrel named
0:12
Sammy sammy had soft cinnamon colored
0:15
fur the fluffiest tail in the treetops
0:18
and the biggest brightest eyes full of
0:20
curiosity but unlike all the other
0:22
squirrels there was one thing Sammy had
0:24
never done he had never jumped not from
0:27
branch to branch not from tree to tree
0:30
not even a tiny hop from a low twig to
0:33
the soft moss below you see Sammy loved
0:36
the idea of jumping but he was scared
0:38
what if he fell what if the wind
0:40
whooshed too hard what if his tiny paws
0:42
slipped so every day he watched his
0:45
squirrel friend zip and zoom and fly
0:47
through the trees while he stayed on the
0:49
safest branch hugging the trunk and
0:51
pretending he didn't want to join "come
0:53
on Sammy!" chirped Laya the chipmunk
0:56
you'll love it just a little leap
0:59
chattered Max the squirrel it's like
1:01
flying but Sammy would shake his head
1:03
and smile maybe tomorrow one morning
1:07
something magical happened a brilliant
1:10
rainbow stretched across the sky like a
1:12
colorful bridge between the clouds birds
1:15
sang songs that sounded like adventure
1:17
and even the wind seemed to whisper
1:19
"Leap Sammy leap." Sammy tiptoed to the
1:23
edge of his branch and peered down just
1:25
below a lovely yellow butterfly
1:27
fluttered past "hello Sammy," it said
1:30
"why don't you come and chase the
1:31
sunshine with me?" Samms heart
1:33
pitter pattered he wanted to chase
1:35
sunshine he wanted to feel the wind in
1:38
his whiskers he wanted to try "but have
1:42
never jumped before," Sammy whispered
1:44
the butterfly smiled "the first jump is
1:47
always the biggest adventure." Sammy
1:50
blinked he looked down again the branch
1:53
across the way wasn't so far he took a
1:56
deep breath then another he wiggled his
1:59
toes his tail twitched and then he
2:04
wee the wind hugged him his little heart
2:08
leapt with joy he landed with a soft
2:10
thump on the other branch his friends
2:12
cheered from the treetops "you did it!"
2:15
Max shouted "you were amazing!"
2:18
squeealled Laya sammy beamed his legs
2:21
wobbled a bit but he stood tall and
2:23
proud that was awesome from that day on
2:27
Sammy became the bravest jumper in the
2:29
forest he leaped over puddles danced
2:32
across branches and even somersaulted
2:34
into piles of autumn leaves but he never
2:36
forgot that first scary moment the one
2:39
where he trusted himself enough to try
2:41
and every time he saw someone else
2:43
looking scared at the edge of something
2:45
new Sammy would smile and say "It's okay
2:48
to be afraid just remember the first
2:52
adventure." And guess what the butterfly
