0:00:41 > 0:00:42Hi, Ruby.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46Er, sorry. I see you have found our experiment.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Your experiment?

0:00:50 > 0:00:51- Woohoo!- Ah.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55We're going to record the Gwelf in our garden.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58- If there's a Gwelf in our garden. - What's a Gwelf?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Oh, come on. You know!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Here we go.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06Ahem.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11A Gwelf is the greatest, funniest, short, round guy you've ever seen.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14He's a real hero!

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Oh, that Gwelf.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20I thought he was make-believe.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22No, he's real. We hear him every night.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25You hear him every night. I hear the wind.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28OK. We're ready to record. Ready?

0:01:28 > 0:01:33This is important. When I press this red button,

0:01:33 > 0:01:38with this purple finger... Eh? Eh?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40..you can't touch it.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Why would we want to touch your finger?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45No, no. You can't touch the recorder.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- It'll ruin the experiment. OK? - Oh!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- OK.- OK.- Press the button.- OK.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53HE CHUCKLES

0:01:53 > 0:01:55OK, now, we're recording.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Now we go to sleep, very quietly,

0:01:58 > 0:02:02and in the morning, we'll have our answer. Sssh.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07But I already have my answer, Big,

0:02:07 > 0:02:11because the Gwelf is definitely in our garden!

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Goodnight, Ruby.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Good night, Ruby and good night, Gwelf.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Sssh!- I'm sssh-ing, Big!

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Oh.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23I wanted to record my song tonight.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28Would it really hurt if I recorded one little fabulous song?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31I mean, the Gwelf's not even here.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34La, la!

0:02:35 > 0:02:36La, la, la!

0:02:36 > 0:02:39I mean, Big said, don't touch the machine.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm not touching it at all.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45I'm just singing, which is different, right?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Right.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Take it away, Ruby!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43She must have heard the Gwelf, Big.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46OK, you stay there, we're coming down!

0:03:46 > 0:03:50Oh, no, they're going to be so cross!

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Oh, oh!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Oh, that's bad.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Oh, red goes here... or was that the green?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Red on the right, green on the left...

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Oh, I can't remember!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Hmm, huh?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Someone's been here.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33My machine is not where I left it.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Hey, Big,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36look what I've found.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- I've found a drum.- Ah!- Ah!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Wait a minute. Ruby, isn't that your drum?- No!

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Ah...ah...I mean, yes!

0:04:44 > 0:04:47How did that get there? Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:04:47 > 0:04:52- Oh, that's funny! - I know exactly how it got here.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56You do?

0:04:56 > 0:04:57The Gwelf!

0:04:57 > 0:05:01The Gwelf saw the tape recorder and thought,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I'll record a song just for Small

0:05:04 > 0:05:08and he knows how much I love drums,

0:05:08 > 0:05:13so, he snuck into your room, right, and he took it.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- So, didn't you see him, Ruby? - Oh, um...no.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18I mean, yes! Yes.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23You know, actually, over that way towards the woods, possibly.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27Let's listen to the tape. Maybe there's something...

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Oh, no, that's not a good idea cos you'll wake everybody up.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33We're already awake, Ruby.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34STRANGE MUSIC PLAYS

0:05:36 > 0:05:37Ssh, ssh, ssh!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41That's not my song!

0:05:42 > 0:05:45But I've been out here all alone.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's the Gwelf!

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Only the Gwelf could sound like that.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Oh, Small, let's get our gear.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Ruby, stay here, guard the machine.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59If you hear anything, shout. Small, to the gear.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Oh, goodness. Now look what I've started!

0:06:02 > 0:06:04OK, I have to tell them.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07OK, I'm going to say, boys...

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Woohoo!

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- We're ready! - This ultrasonic listening gear

0:06:11 > 0:06:15can detect a Gwelf at 32 feet.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Just wait till he smells these turnip sandwiches.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20What?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23THE GWELF LOVES TURNIP SANDWICHES, BIG!

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Yes, turnips. OK, let's move it out, Small.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29We're gonna meet the Gwelf!

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Ooh! Ooh! A-ha! A-ha-ha!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Come on, Big! The Gwelf's waiting!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40OK. OK. OK. OK.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Oh, no. Oh, no!

0:06:44 > 0:06:48Here, Gwelf. Here, Gwelf!

0:06:48 > 0:06:52It's your friend Small. I've got you some turnip sandwiches.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55OK... Oh, getting something.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Yep, getting something!

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Did...? It's just Small.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00OK.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Wait for me!

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Boys, boys!

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Boys..? Where are you? Wait for me!

0:07:11 > 0:07:15Hey, it's the Gwelf, it's the Gwelf! Are you there, Gwelf?!

0:07:15 > 0:07:16What? Ruby?

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Eh...I've got something to tell you.

0:07:19 > 0:07:24Well, I... I think you should wait until morning.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yes, definitely wait until morning.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30But we can't Ruby, cos Gwelfs only come out at night.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Big, let's search the woods!

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- OK!- No, no, wait. The woods?!

0:07:34 > 0:07:38You can't go into the woods. It's the middle of the night.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39You'll get lost.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44I'm sure we'll be fine, but if we're not back by morning...

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Could you feed T-Rex?! Thanks! Bye!

0:07:46 > 0:07:49No, stop. I have something to tell you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56OK, it was me, OK? It was me.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59I was the one who used the tape recorder,

0:07:59 > 0:08:02it wasn't the Gwelf, at all.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06No Gwelf? No Gwelf?!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08But, but, Ruby, you said...

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Oh!

0:08:11 > 0:08:14I will never forgive you.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Oh, Ruby. That wasn't very nice.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21I know. I didn't mean to fib.

0:08:21 > 0:08:26I just wanted to record a song, so much. I'm sorry.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'm still never forgiving you.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34And "never" is a really long time!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Practically for ever!

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Oh... Well...

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Uh, why don't you come back to the house,

0:08:43 > 0:08:48I'll play you my song and then you can decide how you feel?

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Hrrrh!

0:08:52 > 0:08:56I can't believe that Ruby.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Do you know what's weird?- Hmm?

0:08:58 > 0:09:01That thing you played earlier wasn't my song.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- I wonder what happened.- Mmm.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Eh... Uh! Ah, ah! I see exactly what happened.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09The buttons got switched there.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11That's why it played backwards.

0:09:11 > 0:09:16- Aah!- Yeah, so let me just switch the buttons here.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Uh! OK. OK.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22All right. Let's try it now.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26# Welcome to our home

0:09:26 > 0:09:30# We just love this place

0:09:30 > 0:09:32# We all fit together We'll live here for ever

0:09:32 > 0:09:34# We think this space is ace

0:09:34 > 0:09:37# I mutter and I sigh

0:09:37 > 0:09:39# The table's much too high

0:09:39 > 0:09:42# I can't reach the cheese It's really such a tease

0:09:42 > 0:09:45# But with Big here's paw it's no trouble at all

0:09:45 > 0:09:47# And soon we're eating cheese pie... #

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Cheese pie?- It's a mouse thing.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51# Welcome to our home

0:09:51 > 0:09:54# We think this space is ace

0:09:54 > 0:09:56# We all fit together We'll live here for ever

0:09:56 > 0:09:59# We just love this place

0:09:59 > 0:10:02# I can barely reach his knees

0:10:02 > 0:10:04# But Small just loves to please

0:10:04 > 0:10:07# And sometimes when I'm done I know that Small will come

0:10:07 > 0:10:10# And climb on the piano just because he can-io

0:10:10 > 0:10:12# And dance up and down on the keys!.. #

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Mr Song And Dance?- That's me!

0:10:14 > 0:10:16# Welcome to our home

0:10:16 > 0:10:18# We think this space is ace

0:10:18 > 0:10:21# We all live together We'll live here for ever

0:10:21 > 0:10:24# We just love this place! #

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Well, that was a really nice song, Ruby.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Oh, thank you.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31It sort of was.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33OK, I've changed my mind.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I'll forgive you...in ten seconds.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39One...

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Two...

0:10:40 > 0:10:41OK, ten!

0:10:41 > 0:10:42- Yeah!- Yes!

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Anybody for turnip sandwiches? - BOTH: No!
