-Hello, and welcome to -Enwog o Fri, Ardal Ni. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
-We're pupils at Ysgol Bryncrug. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
-It's a small school -in a little village... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
-..not far from Towyn in Gwynedd. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
-A long time ago, -more than 200 years ago... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
-..a well-known girl -lived in our area. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-Her name was Mari Jones. She had -an interesting story to tell. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
-Come on a journey with us -to hear all about her. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-Are you coming? -You have an important part. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
-Yes, in a minute. -I just have to do something first. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
-I wanted to show you -this special place. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-This is Ty'n-Y-Ddol cottage -in Llanfihangel-Y-Pennant. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-Mari Jones lived here -when she was the same age as me. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
-Don't tell the others, -but I like sitting here... | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
-..and imagining that I'm Mari Jones -more than 200 years ago. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-Mari! Mari! | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
-Mari! Where is she? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-Here I am, Mam. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
-Where have you been, Mari? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
-I've just been wandering. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-I've just been wandering. - -Be a good girl and scrub the step. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-Yes, Mam. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
-Mari Jones came from a poor family. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-She lived with her mother -in Ty'n-Y-Ddol cottage... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-..at the foot -of Cader Idris mountain. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-Mari had to work hard... | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
-..but she never complained. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
-Mari and her mother would go -to chapel and sometimes to church. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
-Little Mari... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-..loved learning stories -from the Bible. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-Like many children back then... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
-..Mari didn't go to school... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-..until she was 10 years old. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-Mari! -I have news for you. Good news. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
-I'm all ears, Mam. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-The time has come -for you to go to school. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-School? | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
-But we have no money. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
-I know, but a good man -named Thomas Charles from Bala... | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
-..wants the children of Wales -to learn to read the Bible in Welsh. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
-I'm so happy, Mam! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
-I'm going to -try my best at school... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
-..to learn to read the Bible. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
-You're the first one in again, Mari. -Well done. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
-In you go, there's good children. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-Thank you, Mr John Ellis. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-Thank you, Mr John Ellis. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-Thank you, Mr John Ellis. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-"In the beginning was the Word." | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-"In the beginning was the Word." | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-Those words -come from the Old Testament. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-The first book of the Bible -is called Genesis, dear children. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
-For Mari Jones, -every day in school was exciting. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
-She knew -all the letters of the alphabet. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-A for...? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-Yes, Mari? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-Yes, Mari? - -Abraham, sir. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-Excellent. B for...? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-Excellent. B for...? - -Bible, sir. C is for chapel too. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
-Come here, dear Mari. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
-Try and read this. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
-"The Lord is my shepherd. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-"I shall not want. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-"He makes me lie down -in green pastures." | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
-Goodness me, Mari, you can read. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
-Yes, I can read. -I can read the Bible! | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-Do you have a Bible at home, Mari? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-No, they're too expensive, -but I'd love to have one. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
-As time went by, -Mari longed for a Bible of her own. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
-What's wrong, dear Mari? -Is there something on your mind? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
-I've decided to buy a Bible. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
-A Bible? But Bibles cost a fortune. -Get a grip. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-We don't have enough money. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-I'm going to buy a Bible, Mam. -I'm determined. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-So she started collecting -her pennies and shillings. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
-Poor Mari worked hard -to earn her money. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-She fed the chickens. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-She knitted socks -to sell in the market. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-And she collected eggs. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
-And she collected eggs. - -Well done, hens. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-She grew vegetables too. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-I have potatoes to sell -in the market. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-Mari worked and worked and worked. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-I need more money than this. -I must find more work. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-She saved her money -and worked hard for six years. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
-Then, in 1800, -when she was 16 years old... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
-I have enough money! | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-Mam, I've saved enough money -to buy a Bible from Thomas Charles. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
-I'll walk to Bala -first thing tomorrow. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-Tomorrow? -But Bala is a long way away. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-You're a very determined girl, -Mari Jones. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-In order to buy a Bible, Mari -had to walk a long way on her own... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
-..from her home in Ty'n-Y-Ddol... | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-..all the way to Bala. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
-It was a long journey... | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-..covering a distance of 50 miles, -there and back. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-But Mari went on her way -with great determination. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
-I'll have a Bible in my hand soon, -so the journey will be worthwhile. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
-Mari walked through the fields... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-..across the meadows... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-..past the brooks... | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-..and along the mountains. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-Come on, Mari, keep going. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
-She was exhausted -and her feet were sore. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
-Ow! My poor feet! | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-So she walked barefoot. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-She carried on -for the rest of the day... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
-..until finally... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-Bala at last! | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
-KNOCK ON DOOR - -Come in. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-Good evening, Mr Charles. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
-I'm Mari Jones -from Llanfihangel-Y-Pennant. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
-Llanfihangel-Y-Pennant? How did you -get here and how can I help? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:02 | |
-I walked every step of the way, sir, -to buy a Bible. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-But all the Bibles -have been sold, dear Mari. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-They've all been sold? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-Mari started to cry... | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
-..thinking there was no Bible for -her, after she had waited so long. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
-Dry your tears, dear Mari. -Don't you worry. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
-I kept this Bible for a friend -but you can have it. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
-As a gift. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
-A Bible as a gift? -Thank you, Mr Charles. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
-Thank you, thank you, thank you. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-Thank you, thank you, thank you. - -You're welcome, dearest Mari. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-Mari was delighted -and she treasured her Bible. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:50 | |
-Goodness me! | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-Where have you been? -We've been waiting for you. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-The story is almost over. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
-What are you doing? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
-What are you doing? - -Visiting Mari Jones's grave. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-Mari Jones died in 1864... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |

-The Bible. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-Just like the one Mari Jones had. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
