Speaker 1: the supercast link in the show notes. Anyway, here's a
00:00:25
Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. Imagine for a moment
00:00:37
Speaker 1: a perfect tropical island. Think of bright blue seas and
00:00:43
Speaker 1: white sand beaches, palms swaying gently in the breeze, and
00:00:48
Speaker 1: brightly colored homes hiding in tropical jungles. Think of monkeys
00:00:53
Speaker 1: swinging through the trees, followed by parrots of red and
00:00:57
Speaker 1: blue and green, bright flashes of color that dance this
00:01:01
Speaker 1: way and that in everything you imagine, in all that
00:01:05
Speaker 1: you can see as you close your eyes and lie
00:01:08
Speaker 1: back to paint a picture in your mind, I wonder
00:01:12
Speaker 1: whether you sought to include bright pink, curly tailed, snuffle
00:01:16
Speaker 1: snouted pigs. Because there is an island just like that
00:01:20
Speaker 1: you see. It's as real as you or I, And
00:01:24
Speaker 1: right now there are families of pigs swimming in the safe,
00:01:28
Speaker 1: shallow waters before trotting back to the beaches. Quite why
00:01:33
Speaker 1: the pigs are there, nobody really knows, but it almost
00:01:37
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Now there they live quite content, drinking from
00:01:41
Speaker 1: freshwater streams and living off food they find in forage,
00:01:45
Speaker 1: snuffling into the sand and looking through the jungle. A
00:01:50
Speaker 1: little coconut named Fiji was as surprised to find the
00:01:53
Speaker 1: pigs as anyone ever has been, and the story of
00:01:58
Speaker 1: how Fiji came to meet the pigs is a story
00:02:01
Speaker 1: of grand adventures. The only difference between Fiji's epic voyage
00:02:07
Speaker 1: and those of famous explorers is that they usually chose
00:02:12
Speaker 1: to go and discover hidden corners of the world. Fiji,
00:02:15
Speaker 1: on the other hand, did not. Fiji was perfectly content
00:02:21
Speaker 1: living his life at the top of a coconut palm.
00:02:24
Speaker 1: He hung there in a bundle with his brothers and sisters,
00:02:27
Speaker 1: cousins and aunts, shaded from the bright sun by the
00:02:31
Speaker 1: waving palm frons that dabbled sunlight onto his smooth green skin.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: By the time coconuts reached the shelves of supermarkets, you'll
00:02:41
Speaker 1: know them as small, shriveled, brown and hairy. But out
00:02:47
Speaker 1: in the wild before they are changed for the modern world,
00:02:51
Speaker 1: coconuts are shiny, and green and smooth, a little larger
00:02:56
Speaker 1: than the size of a soccer ball, but pointed at
00:02:59
Speaker 1: both ends. Fiji knew the world to be a beautiful place.
00:03:06
Speaker 1: As far as he knew. It was made of a
00:03:08
Speaker 1: shimmering stretch of white sand beach and fringed with a
00:03:12
Speaker 1: blue sea that sometimes seemed to be a deep emerald green,
00:03:17
Speaker 1: and sometimes was a soft turquoise, and sometimes, when the
00:03:21
Speaker 1: storms came through, a dark blue so dark it almost
00:03:27
Speaker 1: seemed black, with white foam dancing on the tops of waves.
00:03:32
Speaker 1: He knew that sometimes butterflies of a thousand different colors
00:03:36
Speaker 1: would land on him, slowly opening and closing their wings
00:03:42
Speaker 1: as they took a rest on his smooth, green shell.
00:03:46
Speaker 1: Fiji knew that at night, after he had watched the
00:03:50
Speaker 1: sun sink into the sea in a drama of reds
00:03:53
Speaker 1: and oranges, the sky would ease itself into black, and
00:03:58
Speaker 1: the stars would appear. On nights, when the moon was
00:04:02
Speaker 1: full and there were no clouds, it lit up the
00:04:05
Speaker 1: beach so brightly he could still watch the crabs go
00:04:09
Speaker 1: back and forth, and still see the green lizards as
00:04:13
Speaker 1: they walked along the beach. And on the night when
00:04:17
Speaker 1: the moon was just the smallest, slenderest sliver of the
00:04:22
Speaker 1: moon when it lay on its back and became and
00:04:26
Speaker 1: looked for all the world like a golden hammock hanging
00:04:29
Speaker 1: in the sky. Fiji had learned to listen to the
00:04:34
Speaker 1: soft rush of the waves upon the sand as they
00:04:37
Speaker 1: poured themselves up and down, h up and down the beach.
