A Quiet Pebble

We see Pipkin, a small, grey pebble, sitting sadly by a rushing river. The river is bubbly and bright, full of swirling leaves and tiny fish. Pipkin looks very glum. "Oh dear," he sighs. "Everyone else seems to *do* something. The river rushes, the birds sing… what do *I* do?" What do YOU like to do when you feel a little bit sad? Think about it!

The River's Whisper

The River, whose name is Willow, hears Pipkin’s sigh. She gently swirls around him. "Why the long face, little one?" she gurgles. Pipkin explains he doesn't have a special talent like Willow’s wonderful song. Do you think everyone needs a *loud* talent? Let's see!

A Tiny Sound

Willow tells Pipkin to listen very closely. Suddenly, Pipkin feels a vibration! It’s a tiny, high-pitched *ting* coming from *inside* him! "What was that?" Pipkin asks, surprised. Willow smiles. "That, my dear, is your own little song!"

Practicing the Song

Pipkin tries to make the *ting* sound again and again. At first, it’s very quiet and wobbly. He bumps into other pebbles, and they giggle. He feels silly! But Willow encourages him: “Keep trying, Pipkin! Every song needs practice!” Can you make a quiet sound with your mouth, like Pipkin? Try it!

Meeting Coralina

A friendly little water sprite, Coralina, floats by. She notices Pipkin practicing. “What are you doing?” she asks with a twinkle in her eye. Pipkin shyly explains he's trying to sing. Coralina listens patiently.

Coralina's Harmony

Coralina suggests Pipkin sing *with* the river. “Try to make your *ting* match Willow’s rhythm!” Pipkin closes his eyes and focuses. His *ting* begins to synchronize with the river’s flow!

A Beautiful Duet

Suddenly, Pipkin’s *ting* and Willow’s gurgle create a beautiful, twinkling melody! Other pebbles start to join in, each with their own little *ting*! The riverbank is filled with a magical, shimmering sound. What sounds do YOU think would sound nice together?

The Pebble Chorus

Coralina claps her hands with delight. “You did it, Pipkin! You found your voice, and it’s beautiful!” Pipkin smiles, feeling proud. He realizes that even a small pebble can make a big difference. And the river keeps singing its joyful song. Can you sing along with Pipkin and Willow? *Ting! Gurgle! Ting! Gurgle!*

Lesson Learned

Pipkin learned that everyone has something special to offer, even if it seems small. Sometimes, you just need a little encouragement and a friend to help you find it! Remember, your voice matters, no matter how quiet it may be.
