-The following morning,

-after the party...

0:05:330:05:36

-..the court of Prince Llywelyn

-was very busy.

0:05:370:05:41

-Llywelyn had organised

-a day of hunting for everyone.

0:05:420:05:45

-Where was Llywelyn?

-There was no sign of him.

0:05:460:05:49

-Where is Prince Llywelyn?

0:05:490:05:52

-He's usually the first here.

0:05:530:05:56

-Llywelyn enjoys hunting.

0:05:560:05:58

-Can't wait to leave.

0:05:580:06:00

-This is very strange.

0:06:000:06:02

-Something must be wrong.

0:06:020:06:05

-Prince Llywelyn was inside the court

-in his bedroom.

0:06:070:06:13

-The princess didn't feel well.

0:06:130:06:15

-I'll wait with you, Princess,

-to look after you.

0:06:160:06:20

-No, it's OK. You go hunting.

0:06:200:06:23

-Everyone's waiting for you.

0:06:230:06:26

-If you're sure. Take Gwern down

-to the hall and you can sleep.

0:06:260:06:32

-Good idea, master.

-I'll take Gwern down there now.

0:06:320:06:37

-Thank you, Sian.

0:06:370:06:39

-Thank you. Enjoy the hunt.

0:06:420:06:44

-I will.

0:06:450:06:46

-Everyone in the courtyard

-was still worried about the prince.

0:06:520:06:56

-Where is he?

0:06:570:06:58

-What on earth...?

0:06:590:07:01

-There's still no sign of the prince.

0:07:010:07:04

-Should we wait?

0:07:040:07:06

-We'll give him another five minutes.

0:07:060:07:09

-Yes, another five minutes

-and then we'll set off.

0:07:090:07:14

-Gwern slept in his crib in the hall.

0:07:150:07:19

-Sian, are you busy?

0:07:220:07:24

-Yes, master, I have so much to do

-to prepare for tonight's feast.

0:07:250:07:32

-Of course, I'll find someone else

-to look after Gwern.

0:07:320:07:37

-Gelert.

0:07:370:07:38

-Gelert, you are master of the court

-while I'm away hunting.

0:07:410:07:45

-Llywelyn entrusted his faithful dog

-to look after his son.

0:07:450:07:51

-Lie down here, good dog.

-Gwern will be safe with you.

0:07:510:07:56

-Llywelyn knew

-that his young son would be safe..

0:08:000:08:06

-..under the watchful eye

-of his faithful dog.

0:08:060:08:09

-Here he is, our master.

-Everything OK?

0:08:140:08:18

-Where's Gelert?

-That dog is always at your side.

0:08:190:08:22

-Gelert has important work to do.

-Everyone ready?

0:08:230:08:27

-Yes, master.

0:08:280:08:29

-Finally,

-they set off to hunt for the day.

0:08:300:08:35

-Gelert sat in the hall all day.

0:08:370:08:41

-Then, with the baby

-sleeping soundly, Gelert snoozed.

0:08:410:08:47

-Outside the court...

0:08:490:08:52

-..a hungry wolf

-was searching for food.

0:08:520:08:56

-A dangerous wolf.

0:09:010:09:03

-It slipped quietly into the court

-and into the hall in search of food.

0:09:070:09:13

-It saw the little baby in his crib.

0:09:140:09:16

-Gelert woke up and realised

-that the baby was in danger.

0:09:160:09:23

-They started fighting.

0:09:230:09:26

-Gelert was determined

-to keep Gwern safe.

0:09:280:09:33

-After a good day's hunting,

-Llywelyn returned to the court.

0:09:350:09:40

-He was confronted

-with a terrible scene.

0:09:410:09:43

-Gelert! What's happened here?

0:09:430:09:47

-Llywelyn saw the crib overturned.

0:09:470:09:51

-My son, Gwern.

-Where is my little baby?

0:09:520:09:55

-What had happened

-to the little prince?

0:09:550:09:59

-Had Gelert killed his son?

0:09:590:10:01

-Without waiting to think,

-Llywelyn grabbed his sword...

0:10:010:10:05

-..and killed Gelert where he stood.

0:10:060:10:09

-My son, Gwern.

0:10:130:10:14

-He rushed to the crib.

0:10:150:10:16

-There, under the blankets,

-he found Gwern.

0:10:170:10:21

-His son was safe.

0:10:210:10:23

-What happened, Gwern?

0:10:240:10:26

-Then he saw the wolf's body

-lying on the floor.

0:10:270:10:32

-He realised what had happened.

0:10:340:10:37

-Brave Gelert -

-you saved my son's life.

0:10:370:10:41

-You didn't kill him. I'm so sorry.

0:10:410:10:44

-Llywelyn couldn't be comforted

-after that terrible day.

0:10:440:10:49

-Llywelyn was sad for a long time...

0:10:540:10:57

-..because he had killed

-his faithful dog without cause.

0:10:570:11:02

-The prince never smiled again

-after that terrible day.

0:11:020:11:07

-He built a special grave for Gelert

-to remember his brave, faithful dog.

0:11:100:11:17

-Gelert's grave

-can be found in Beddgelert.

0:11:260:11:30

-That's why our town

-is named Beddgelert.

0:11:310:11:35

-If you ever visit our village...

0:11:350:11:38

-..visit Gelert's grave

-to remember the sad story.

0:11:380:11:42

-Gelert the dog, renowned

-and revered, from our locality.
