Who is Pup, you may be asking. 30 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: Pup is the daughter of the brightest star in the sky. 31 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 4: Can you guess who the brightest star in the sky is. 32 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 4: I'm sure most of you guess the Northern star. Well, 33 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 4: you would be surprised to know that the North Star 34 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 4: is the forty eighth brightest star in the sky. The 35 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 4: brightest star in the sky is serious. Now, don't take 36 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 4: his name quite literally, because the only thing he is 37 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 4: serious about is loving his daughter and shining as bright 38 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 4: as he can to bred love and hope.

He's seen miraculous things in outer space, 49 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: things that human's eyes may never see and may never 50 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 4: be able to imagine. I've seen fire, whoa, I've seen ice. 51 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: Wow. 52 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: I've seen galaxies that glow green, purple, blue, and orange. 53 00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: No way. 54 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 4: I've seen rocks dancing in circles around planets that seem 55 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 4: endless cool. I've also seen storms and black holes that 56 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 4: can suck you in before you have any idea what happened. 57 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: I've seen asteroids fly by me so fast that I 58 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 4: didn't stop spinning for days. 59 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: That sounds like so much fun. 60 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 4: Well, not if it would have hit me. I was lucky. 61 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: That's so cool, Dad. 62 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 4: But the greatest thing I have ever seen, yeah, was 63 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 4: the day you were born. I'll never forget it. You 64 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 4: showed up and immediately took in your surroundings, your big 65 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 4: beautiful eyes looking around at all the wonder of your 66 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: new environment. You have always been so curious, which has 67 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 4: kept me entertained my entire life. Serious laughs. Then he 68 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: says introspectively, it has been the greatest pleasure watching you 69 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: grow up. I am so very proud of you, Pup. 70 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: This makes Pup so happy. She doesn't know her pride 71 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: is palpable. 72 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: Thanks Dad, Hey dad, Yes, my love, how did you 73 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: become the brightest star? 74 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: It's never been about being the brightest star, Pup. It's 75 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 4: always been about being the best version of myself that 76 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 4: I can be, but most importantly, keeping a grateful, loving heart. 77 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 4: Sirius smiles at his daughter's consideration for what he just said. Well, well, 78 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 4: here comes the sun. Looks like it's time to get 79 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: a little shut eye. I love you so very much, 80 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 4: my little Pup. Have the sweetest. 81 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: Dreams you two, Dad, I love you. 82 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: And with that, Pup and Sirius shut their eyes and 83 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 4: drifted off to sleep. Now, stars are not diurnal like 84 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 4: you and I. Diurnal means that we're up during the 85 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 4: day and sleep at night. But stars are nocturnal, meaning 86 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 4: they sleep during the day and are awake all night. 87 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 4: That day, Pup dreamt of being the brightest star in 88 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 4: the sky. All the other stars were flying up to 89 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: her and admiring her. There was a star name Sparkles. 90 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Pup, you're so bright and fabulous. What 91 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: have you been doing? 92 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: The North Star even came to see her. Whoa looking good, Pup? 93 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: Oh this is nothing. Thanks. 94 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 4: Pup felt so good that when she woke up, she 95 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 4: knew exactly what she had to do. Her dad was 96 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 4: still sleeping, and she quietly packed a few things and 97 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 4: flew off into the sky. When the night was fully dark, 98 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 4: Serious woke up with a yawn oooh, he was so 99 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 4: used to waking up after Pup. Without even opening his eyes, 100 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 4: he said good morning, Pup. There was no reply. Sirius 101 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 4: felt something was missing. He opened his eyes. Pop. He 102 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 4: looked around, nobody was there. He began to panic, but 103 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: took a deep breath and reassured himself. Everything will be okay. 104 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 4: It's all written in the stars. Just then, he looked 105 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 4: up and saw a note that Pup had written with stardust. 106 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 4: It read, dear. 107 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: Dad, I love you very much. I'm going to shine 108 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: just as bright as you one day. I just need 109 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: to go on my own journey. I promise I will 110 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: be back before you know it. Love your Pup. 111 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: Sirius was full of concern, anxiety, and fear. 112 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: He didn't know what to do. 113 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 4: He didn't get a chance to tell Pup about all 114 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 4: the dangerous things to look out for. So he did 115 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: what any father would do and ran after his beloved daughter. 116 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: Only he ran in the opposite direction of where Pup went. 117 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: That night, there was no brightest star named Sirius in 118 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 4: the sky. Pop, on the other hand, was flying into 119 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: the great unknown, full of adventure and excitement. She was 120 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 4: screaming and singing. 121 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: Whoohoo, I'm free, I'm free as can feed. 122 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: No one can stop me but me. Flying up to 123 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: the galic See, nobody can stop me but me. 124 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 4: Pup flew higher and higher to new heights. She looked 125 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: beyond and saw a bright blue light. 126 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: What's that up there? 127 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 4: She burst through the dark void towards what we know 128 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 4: as Neptune. As she got closer, she heard howls. 129 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: What does that sound? 130 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 4: That's Neptune's winds. 131 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: What's Neptune? 132 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 4: You see that big beautiful blue ball? 133 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: Uh?

You're 175 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: quite a far way away from home and the Sun, Pup, 176 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 4: i'd i'd head towards Saturn. You can't miss it. It's 177 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 4: the only planet with a beautiful ring around it. If 178 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: you're not going towards the Sun, then you're going the 179 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 4: wrong way. I'm the furthest from the sun. Pup said 180 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 4: her goodbyes to Despina, Galicia, Thalasia, and Larissa. Then she 181 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 4: told Neptune what an honor it was to meet him, 182 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: and she went on her merry way. Pup was so 183 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 4: excited to have just met Neptune and its moons. She 184 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 4: was finally on her way towards Saturn and becoming brighter 185 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 4: on her journey. Uranus High, mister Uranus. Oh, hi, the 186 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 4: here little star. She was gliding now, taking in the comets. 187 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 4: When she finally saw Saturn, she stopped and admired her 188 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: from a distance. 189 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: Wow, she's far more beautiful than anyone has described. Look 190 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: at her rings. 191 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 4: As Pop got closer, she realized that Saturn's rings were 192 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: not as solid as she thought they were. 193 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: WHOA, from a distance, her rings looked really solid. I 194 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 2: had no idea they were made of rocks. Oh, and 195 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 2: ice going around in circles and dust. Uh who said that? 196 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 2: The one and only rain Queen Saturn. You guessed it. Honey. 197 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: You are so cool and I feel like I've waited 198 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: my entire life to meet you. I mean, everyone says 199 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 2: how beautiful you are, but geez, Louise, I can't I 200 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: wait to tell all of my friends. Slow down, little star, 201 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: where are you from? Well, my dad's sort of the 202 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 2: brightest star. 203 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 4: Just then, Saturn abruptly interrupts. Pup, Pup, how did you 204 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 4: know my name? 205 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: Honey? You have got to get home. Your father is 206 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: worried sick about you. He is. How do you know 207 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 2: that we're all connected? Honey? Your father has been looking 208 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: everywhere for you. You just missed him. Oh no, I thought, 209 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: well whatever you thought, you thought wrong. A parent's love 210 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: is deeper than all of these galaxies. You got to 211 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: get back home. 212 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: Pup didn't know what to say. She never considered that 213 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 4: leaving would have impacted her father. After all, she was 214 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 4: doing this to make him proud. 215 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: What are you all the way out here for? Anyway? 216 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: I was trying to find something to make me shine 217 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: as bright as my dad. First off, you'll never be 218 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: your dad because you're you, just like your dad will 219 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: never be like his dad because he's him. Uh, I'm 220 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: not quite following, honey. We're all amazing because we're ourselves, 221 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: and even though we're all connected, not one of us 222 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: will ever be identical to another. You're beautifully unique in 223 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: your own way. There will never be another pup, and 224 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: a pup has never existed before you. 225 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 4: Pup ponders this. 226 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: Yes, girl, take that in and think about it while 227 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: you're shooting back home to your PUPA thank you, Saturn. 228 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: You're so great and gorgeous, So are you, honey? Don't 229 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: you forget it now? 230 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: Go. 231 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 4: Pup burst from her spot and started shooting across the sky. 232 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 4: And if you have ever looked up in the sky 233 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 4: and saw a shooting star, it just might have been Pup. 234 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 4: As Pup was flying home, easily distracted, she watched this. 235 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 4: She slowly shot by a huge red ball. She thought 236 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: to herself, whoa baby is that much? As she got 237 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 4: closer and closer, she noticed the solar storm. It was 238 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 4: kicking up red dust that danced across Mars's surface. She 239 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 4: stopped and watched the spectacle. It seemed as if Mars 240 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 4: was having fun playing with its own dust. It was 241 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 4: creating wind, tornadoes and swirls like a work of art. 242 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 4: It's almost as if Mars was lost in its own excitement. 243 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: Mars, huh over here the tiny start to You're right? 244 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: Mars looked to the left, only half interested and distracted 245 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 4: and wanted to get back to his fun. That's your 246 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 4: left Huh, yeah, I knew that. 247 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: Hi, my name is Pup. I'm a star. 248 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I see that, and. 249 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: I traveled all this way to find out how to 250 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: shine brighter like my dad. He's sort of the brightest 251 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: star in the sky. 252 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 4: Pup paused because she was used to everyone being awestruck 253 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,239 Speaker 4: at this information. After a few beats of no response, Pup. 254 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: Said, m do you have any advice? 255 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 4: Mars said nothing. Pup started wondering if Mars even heard 256 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 4: what she said. Pup gave up and started slowly flying away. Uh, 257 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 4: I was pretty hot once. Excuse me, Yeah, used to 258 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 4: be pretty amazing. Oh yeah, I looked a lot like 259 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 4: Earth had rivers and lands and oceans and living organisms. 260 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 4: Then I guess, but just ran its course and and 261 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 4: here I. 262 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 2: Am in, and here you are. 263 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 4: Pup waited for Mars to say something, but nothing came 264 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 4: after that. Pup made a few odd faces, wondering what 265 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: she was supposed to learn from that. Finally, you don't 266 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying? 267 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: Um no. Uh. 268 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 4: Annoyed that Pup couldn't figure it out, Mars stopped playing 269 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 4: with this red dust and settled down, Mars became more 270 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 4: of a brownish color. Okay, so here's the deal, kid, 271 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 4: Nobody knows what life's got in store for you. You can 272 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 4: fight your entire life, but then you just realize you 273 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 4: fought the natural current of life. What am I saying? 274 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 4: Life is far more enjoyable when you go with the flow, 275 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 4: enjoy each moment, and make the most out of what 276 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 4: you got. I used to be in an amazing ball 277 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 4: full of life. Now I'm a dustball, so I make 278 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 4: guard with that dust I love it. I hated it 279 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 4: at first, I mean, but only because I didn't embrace it. 280 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 4: Embrace who you are, kid, Oh I am is that 281 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 4: while you're out here chasing an idea of being more 282 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 4: than you are? 283 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: Well, um Pop. 284 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 4: Thought long and hard about this. She was chasing a 285 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 4: dream of being more than what she was. Listen, Kid, 286 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 4: word around the galaxy is that your dad isn't doing 287 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 4: very well without you. I think you best get home 288 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 4: and deal with what it's most important, or as being 289 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 4: brighter than your dad more important. Pup stared at Mars 290 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 4: for a beat. She didn't know what to say to him, 291 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 4: but she knew he was right. So she shot across 292 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 4: the sky and straight back home. When she got home, 293 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 4: her dad was there, but he didn't look so good. 294 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 4: He was dim. She'd never seen him dim before. In fact, 295 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 4: she shine brighter than him, but it was the complete 296 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 4: opposite of what she actually wanted. Pup began to weep. 297 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: Dad. 298 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 4: At the sound of Pup's voice, Serious flickered so bright, 299 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 4: but then went dim again. 300 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 2: Pup, Dad, it's me Pop. 301 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 4: Serious's glow flickered so bright that Pup could barely look 302 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 4: at him. She had never seen a light that bright before. 303 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 2: Pop, is that you? It's me Dad. I'm so sorry 304 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: I left you. 305 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 4: Sious flew over to Pup and hugged her so hard 306 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 4: it felt like you would never let go again. Ever, 307 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 4: both Serious and Pup shines so bright that it lit 308 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 4: up the night sky. Pop, where have you been? 309 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: Where did you go? I'm so sorry I left without 310 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 2: telling you, Dad. I just wanted to go on the 311 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: journey that you went on. I wanted to find out 312 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 2: how you shine so bright, so that I could shine 313 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 2: as bright as you and you could take a break sometimes. 314 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 4: Oh Pop, don't you understand the reason I shine so 315 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 4: bright is because of you? 316 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: Thank you? Dad? I know that I make you happy, 317 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: and I know that I make you shine bright, but 318 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 2: I want to help take over some nights when you're 319 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 2: too tired to shine. 320 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, you're not understanding. I'm only as 321 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 4: bright as I can be on my own, Pup. But 322 00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 4: when we are together, I mean, we look much bright. 323 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 4: Don't you get it? It's me and you together that 324 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 4: make the brightest star in the galaxy. Without you, I'm 325 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 4: just another star. You're so bright, Pup. Just you being 326 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 4: you is perfect. Pup understood exactly what her dad was 327 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 4: trying to say, and she was so surprised. She had 328 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 4: no idea that just by being herself, her dad and 329 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 4: her made the brightest star in the sky. So if 330 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 4: you walk outside at night find the brightest star in 331 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 4: the sky, you're probably looking up at Sirius and Pup 332 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 4: together happily themselves. I love you, Dad, and I love 333 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 4: you too, Pup. 334 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: Wow, I love that story so much, I might just 335 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 2: take another listen.
