-I have three small boys so thought -that I should write them a story! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
-"Down from the attic, full of cheer | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
-"Came the box for the time of year | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-"I touched the side of this case | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-"And felt like I was holding -the whole of space!" | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-It's the story of a brother -and sister called Sam and Fflur. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
-One is convinced that the name -of the man with the white beard... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-..who delivers presents at Christmas -is Santa Clos. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
-The other believes -that his name is Sion Corn. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-They end up having an argument -about it all. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-"Who's this?" asked Mam | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
-"Easy, too easy," answered Sam | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-"Easy, too easy," was Fflur's reply | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |

-"No, it isn't, my sister dearest" | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
-"Yelled Sam -through the tinsel forest | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-"The man with the beard and the gut | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
-"Is Sion Corn and that's a fact!" | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-It's a rhyming story. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
-The children may not realize it but -it makes the story more memorable. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:38 | |
-"Fflur made a list -that was short and neat | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
-"All her presents on a tiny sheet | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-"Sam had a list -of one hundred and seven | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-"All his presents -would reach heaven!" | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-The pictures -are colourful and funny. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-I think it's funny... | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-..because the dog has fallen over -and has a stamp on his nose. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-In my mind, I'd pictured them -as cartoon characters... | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
-..apt for animation. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
-There's the occasional argument -in my home. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
-My three little boys -are often at each other's throats... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
-..but they are also good -at patching things up... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-..and have fun with each other. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-Bethan Gwanas - Coeden Cadi. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-We chose Coeden Cadi -by Bethan Gwanas... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
-..because the story was well-written -and full of adventure... | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |

-My great-niece, or my niece's -daughter is called Cadi... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-..and she had lost her father -at a young age. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-She was dealing with it -and yet still retained a lot. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
-She was taking it out on her mother -and grandmother. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
-I could see this and knew there -was a way of dealing with it... | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
-..so I wrote a story for Cadi. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
-"Cadi enjoyed climbing trees. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
-"Large trees, small trees, -straight trees, crooked trees. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
-"Nothing frightened her. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-"She could hang from the branches... | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-"..and even hang upside down -just like a bat!" | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-It's the story -of a determined little girl. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-She's quite sweet -but doesn't think before she speaks. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |

-Cadi is left -waving on the branches... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
-..and is catapulted -through the clouds and swallows. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
-She lands on a rainbow -and meets an array of creatures. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
-"And suddenly, -there was a large gust of wind... | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-"..that shook the tree so much until -Cadi couldn't hold on any longer." | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
-"Help! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-"I can't stop!" | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-I remember the first time -that I showed the book to Cadi. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
-She was sitting in my kitchen -and saw the illustrations first. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
-Her eyes were like saucers. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
-It was worth seeing. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |

-..made me laugh a lot. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-I thought they were funny! | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-I do enjoy writing -about magical worlds... | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
-..because your imagination -runs wild. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-You can inject some humour. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-It obviously needs a plot. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
-There's the potential -to write an interesting plot. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
