-Our story begins in Rome... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
-..where an important emperor lived. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
-His name was Macsen Wledig. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-Buongiorno. A good day to you all. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
-I'm Macsen Wledig. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-I'm a powerful man. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-I'm a brave man. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-And I'm an important man. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
-Yes, an emperor, which means -that I, and no-one else... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-..rule over the entire Roman empire. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-One day at midday... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
-..when the sun -was high in the sky... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-..Macsen Wledig was feeling sleepy. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-He'd been hunting -all morning with his army. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-Stop! | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
-Why is the sun so hot? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-An important emperor like me -needs his sleep. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-Lay down a golden shield for me -so that I may use it as a pillow. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
-Of course, Macsen Wledig. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-Anything for you. Anything. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-Once the golden shield -was placed on the floor... | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-..Macsen lay down his head -and fell into a deep slumber. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
-He started dreaming. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
-Macsen Wledig -had a very strange dream. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
-Ooh! How strange! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
-THEY LAUGH | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
-He dreamt he was walking -on the banks of a river... | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
-..which had a wide estuary. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-On the opposite side of the river, -he saw green meadows. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-He dreamt -that he'd seen tall mountains. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-Macsen Wledig carried on walking -further and further in his dream. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-Well, well! | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-He crossed a bridge. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-In front of him -stood a fort made of stone. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-He walked towards the fort... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-..and came to an enormous door. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-"What was behind the door?" -he wondered? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-He entered the fort. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-Once inside, he saw a great wonder. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
-There, in a large room... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
-..was an old man -carving a block of wood... | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-..and two brothers... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
-..deep in concentration -playing chess. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-Is it my turn now? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-Is it my turn now? - -Yes. Hurry up. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-Suddenly he noticed a girl - the -most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:53 | |
-The girl of his dreams. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-I'm gorgeous, aren't I? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
-I'm gorgeous, aren't I? - -I'd like to have hair like yours. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
-I'd like to look like you. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
-Thank you, honey. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-Thank you, honey. - -Macsen was completely bowled over. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-He couldn't take his eyes off her. -He walked towards her. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-He stepped forward to embrace her. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-But Macsen suddenly woke up. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-He was so disappointed -that it had all been a dream. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-From then on, Macsen was lovesick. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-Oh, no, I've woken up! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-Shoo! | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
-Leave me alone! | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
-I want to sleep! | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-He didn't want to eat, -hunt, or enjoy himself... | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
-..since he was -hopelessly in love with the girl. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-I saw her, the girl of my dreams. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
-You must travel -the world to find her. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-I can't live without her. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
-But how will we know -she's the girl of your dreams? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
-It will be obvious, -now go and search for her at once! | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-..off they went to search | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-His servants found pretty girls -from around the world. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
-No! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
-But not one of them was the girl -that Macsen had seen in his dream. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
-No, no, no! -This just isn't good enough. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-Here's a picture of her. -Go and find her. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-After two years of travelling -the world in search of the girl... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-..at last they had found her. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
-Who are you and why are you here? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |

-..crossed the bridge... | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-..and came to a fort made of stone. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-He walked, full of hope, -to the enormous door... | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-..knowing that he would -finally see the girl of his dreams. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:35 | |
