Here they come.

0:00:040:00:06

My two intrepid explorers.

0:00:060:00:08

Charlotte and Lokesh.

0:00:100:00:12

I'm their Great Aunt Lizzie, you see,

0:00:120:00:15

and I wonder which one is coming to see me today?

0:00:150:00:18

Ah, so it's Lokesh.

0:00:200:00:22

-Hello, Great Aunt Lizzie!

-Hello, Lokesh!

0:00:220:00:25

Once upon a time, I travelled the world,

0:00:330:00:36

discovering treasures from long ago and far away.

0:00:360:00:40

And no end of stories to remind me.

0:00:400:00:43

But my most precious possession of all

0:00:440:00:48

is my extraordinary collection of teacups.

0:00:480:00:52

Here we are.

0:01:060:01:08

No time to count the clouds.

0:01:080:01:10

Let's have a nice cup of tea and a story.

0:01:100:01:13

But first we need a teacup.

0:01:130:01:15

But which one?

0:01:150:01:17

-That one.

-Ah, Thor's Hammer pendant.

0:01:310:01:35

It's a type of amulet.

0:01:350:01:37

What's an amulet?

0:01:370:01:39

It's a good luck charm, people believe it will keep them safe.

0:01:390:01:43

-And who's Thor?

-He was a mighty god in the old Norse mythology.

0:01:430:01:49

The Vikings believed he could flatten mountains with his hammer.

0:01:510:01:55

No wonder they wore those pendants to keep them safe.

0:01:550:01:59

So, shall I tell you the story of Lokesh...

0:01:590:02:02

and the adventure of the Thor's Hammer amulet?

0:02:020:02:06

It all began long, long ago in the Viking lands.

0:02:080:02:12

When courageous Viking warriors sailed the seas

0:02:120:02:15

on their magnificent dragon ships,

0:02:150:02:18

conquering lands of over four continents.

0:02:180:02:21

After journeying for days through wild forests and majestic fjords,

0:02:390:02:44

Lokesh found himself one bright morning

0:02:440:02:46

in a little coastal village.

0:02:460:02:49

From out of the distance, he could hear a baby crying.

0:02:560:02:59

BABY CRIES

0:02:590:03:01

He followed the sound along a footpath

0:03:010:03:04

until he came to a small hut.

0:03:040:03:07

And there he saw two new parents huddled over a crib.

0:03:070:03:11

Oh, how can I leave little Olaf?

0:03:120:03:16

You're going on a very important journey, Evan. You make him proud.

0:03:160:03:22

He's crying because I'm leaving. I know that.

0:03:220:03:25

He's crying because he's tired. Or hungry. Or both.

0:03:250:03:29

Please stop worrying, dear Evan. We will be fine.

0:03:290:03:32

-Do you have everything you need?

-I wish I could take you with me.

0:03:320:03:36

A ship sailing the great seas is no place for a little baby. You see?

0:03:360:03:42

-Even Olaf agrees with me.

-Promise me you'll look after him, Tona?

0:03:420:03:46

-Of course I will.

-I'll be back for you.

0:03:460:03:49

Bye, Olaf.

0:03:510:03:53

It's just you and me now, beautiful boy. What's that?

0:04:020:04:07

Oh, no. Don't say your dad forgot to take his lucky amulet.

0:04:110:04:15

OLAF CRIES

0:04:170:04:18

What shall I do, Olaf?

0:04:210:04:23

Your dad needs his amulet close by

0:04:230:04:25

to make sure Thor protects him out there in the world.

0:04:250:04:29

Don't cry, Olaf.

0:04:290:04:31

We'll find a way to get it to him.

0:04:310:04:34

Lokesh didn't know if he could help,

0:04:340:04:36

but he thought he should try.

0:04:360:04:38

Hello?

0:04:400:04:42

Hello, baby.

0:04:430:04:44

He likes you.

0:04:460:04:47

I need to find my husband to give him his pendant.

0:04:470:04:50

-But I can't leave Olaf here.

-I can help.

0:04:500:04:53

-I could take it to your husband.

-Oh, will you? Thank you so much.

0:04:530:04:57

If you run quickly to the river bank, you'll find him.

0:04:570:05:01

Lokesh clasped the cold metal amulet in his hand.

0:05:010:05:05

He wasn't sure if he could feel the strength of Thor's Hammer

0:05:050:05:08

but it felt very important.

0:05:080:05:10

-I'll take good care of it.

-Good luck.

0:05:100:05:13

Lokesh ran to the river bank,

0:05:160:05:19

the lucky pendant safe in his pocket.

0:05:190:05:22

And soon he came to the docks.

0:05:230:05:26

Goodbye! And good luck!

0:05:260:05:28

Have a safe trip!

0:05:300:05:31

See you at Yuletide.

0:05:310:05:33

Oh, no, had they sailed already? Was Lokesh too late?

0:05:330:05:38

-Excuse me, is that Evan's ship?

-It is indeed.

0:05:380:05:42

Going on a very long journey to the East.

0:05:420:05:45

May Thor be on their side and protect them from all bad things.

0:05:450:05:49

What could Lokesh do?

0:05:490:05:51

He'd promised Tona he'd get the amulet to Evan,

0:05:510:05:54

but now he'd missed him.

0:05:540:05:56

-So strange, that looks exactly like Evan's lucky amulet.

-But it is.

0:05:560:06:03

-I promised Tona I'd return it to him. But I'm too late.

-Oh, dear.

0:06:030:06:08

Well, an amulet like that should be returned to its owner.

0:06:080:06:12

Especially when they are going on such a long and difficult voyage.

0:06:120:06:16

-He'll need all the luck he can get.

-But how can I get it to him now?

0:06:160:06:20

Tell you what,

0:06:200:06:22

their ship will make one final stop before sailing the ocean.

0:06:220:06:27

-If you hurry up, you could catch him there.

-Really? That's great news.

0:06:270:06:31

-Where do they stop?

-Half a day from here.

0:06:310:06:35

Over those mountains and down the other side

0:06:350:06:39

where the river meets the big sea.

0:06:390:06:41

But if you leave now, you might get there in time.

0:06:410:06:45

Could Lokesh possibly make it before the ship sailed?

0:06:450:06:48

It wasn't even lunchtime and already he was all adrift.

0:06:480:06:53

In Viking times, a voyage across the seas such as Evan's

0:06:530:06:57

could mean he wouldn't see his family for months, possibly years.

0:06:570:07:02

That's a long time.

0:07:020:07:03

There was nothing to eat except what they could keep on the boat.

0:07:030:07:07

-Wouldn't be any fruit.

-That's terrible.

0:07:070:07:10

How would Evan keep in touch with Tona and baby Olaf?

0:07:100:07:13

Well, wouldn't be easy. No telephone.

0:07:130:07:17

No postbox to send postcards.

0:07:170:07:19

So the amulet could be the only thing to remind Evan of his family?

0:07:190:07:24

-Yes, I think it could.

-That makes it more important.

0:07:240:07:27

-It must be the most precious thing for him.

-Exactly.

0:07:270:07:30

So Lokesh couldn't go back to Tona

0:07:300:07:33

without trying to catch Evan at his last stop.

0:07:330:07:35

Off went Lokesh in his hat, bag and boots.

0:07:440:07:48

Along shining fjords...

0:07:520:07:54

..and over the snow-capped mountains...

0:07:560:07:59

..until when he was almost out of breath...

0:08:030:08:06

..the path ran out.

0:08:070:08:09

Lokesh took a deep breath.

0:08:160:08:18

Lokesh came to a cove,

0:08:460:08:48

where magnificent Viking ships lay anchored in the afternoon sun.

0:08:480:08:52

Lokesh had to find Evan and return his lucky amulet.

0:08:590:09:03

-Evan, I found you.

-Don't move.

-Why?

0:09:080:09:12

I'm sorry, but I really need to find my fire steel. It's here somewhere.

0:09:120:09:17

What is a fire steel?

0:09:170:09:19

It's a little piece of metal that you start a fire with.

0:09:190:09:23

I dropped it when we were loading the ship. We're late.

0:09:230:09:26

-We should have left hours ago.

-Lucky you didn't.

-Why?

0:09:260:09:30

Because I've been looking for you, to give you this.

0:09:300:09:34

My amulet.

0:09:340:09:35

-Where did you get it?

-You left it in Olaf's crib.

0:09:350:09:38

Tona found it and asked me to get it back to you.

0:09:380:09:42

-I knew I should have told her.

-What do you mean?

0:09:420:09:45

Well, I left it there on purpose to protect baby Olaf

0:09:450:09:48

and remind him of his dad.

0:09:480:09:50

This pendant has always been so lucky for me.

0:09:500:09:54

Oh, I miss my little boy already.

0:09:560:09:58

My fire steel! Finally.

0:10:030:10:06

You see how lucky this is?

0:10:060:10:09

You've been a great help to me and my family,

0:10:090:10:12

-but could I ask you to do me one last favour?

-Of course.

0:10:120:10:16

-Could you please take this back to Tona?

-Take it back?

-Yes.

0:10:160:10:20

Tell her to keep it close to Olaf so he doesn't forget his old man.

0:10:200:10:24

OK.

0:10:240:10:26

-What's your name?

-Lokesh.

0:10:260:10:29

Then I shall name our ship Lokesh,

0:10:290:10:31

so we'll continue to have the good luck you brought us.

0:10:310:10:36

I have to go now.

0:10:360:10:37

Tell Tona and Olaf I love them. And tell them I'll be back for Yule.

0:10:390:10:44

-I will. Goodbye and good luck.

-Goodbye.

0:10:440:10:47

Back came Lokesh.

0:10:510:10:53

In his hat, bag and boots.

0:10:540:10:56

OLAF CRIES

0:11:090:11:12

-There you are. Did you find Evan?

-I did.

0:11:120:11:16

You were so long, I thought he'd gone.

0:11:160:11:18

It took longer than I thought, but I caught him before he set sail.

0:11:180:11:22

Thank you so much. See, Olaf?

0:11:220:11:25

I told you everything was going to be just fine.

0:11:250:11:27

-He'd be happy to have his pendant.

-He was very happy.

0:11:270:11:31

-I knew it.

-But he told me to bring it back.

-What?

0:11:310:11:36

He wants Olaf to have it now. To protect him from bad luck.

0:11:360:11:40

And remind him of his dad while he's away.

0:11:400:11:43

Oh, I see. That's so sweet.

0:11:430:11:46

OLAF STOPS CRYING

0:11:460:11:48

Works like a charm.

0:11:480:11:50

He must feel his dad close to him.

0:11:510:11:53

May I?

0:11:580:11:59

And that was that. The whole kit and caboodle.

0:12:040:12:08

The story of Lokesh,

0:12:080:12:10

and the adventure of the Thor's Hammer amulet.

0:12:100:12:13

-Did Evan make it back home safely?

-Oh, yes, he did.

0:12:130:12:17

And when Olaf grew up, he gave the lucky amulet to his daughter

0:12:170:12:21

and she gave it to her son, and so on and on and on.

0:12:210:12:24

Do you have a good luck charm, Lokesh?

0:12:240:12:27

-I used to have a lucky hat my mum gave me.

-What happened to it?

0:12:270:12:31

I lost it. I wore it for running competitions.

0:12:310:12:34

-Did it bring you luck?

-I don't know.

0:12:340:12:37

I liked the feeling it was there.

0:12:370:12:39

I think charms are lucky because they make us feel good,

0:12:390:12:42

-and close to the people we love.

-Like Evan and his pendant.

-Exactly.

0:12:420:12:47

It's a very powerful feeling. Almost as powerful as Thor and his hammer.

0:12:470:12:52

Oh, my, is that really the time? Come on, we better get going.

0:12:540:12:57

How did that get there?

0:13:040:13:07

Home time now, Lokesh.

0:13:070:13:09

-Thanks, Great Aunt Lizzie!

-Cheery-bye, Lokesh.

-Bye!
