0:00:31 > 0:00:36- SNOW IN THE SPRING
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- It was a wonderful spring morning.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- The sun was shining down - on the fields and the trees...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- ..and the birds were flying high - in the sky.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- Falmai and Nain Clara decided to - go for a walk in the forest.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59- On the way, they saw a pretty little - bird carrying a twig in its beak.
0:00:59 > 0:01:05- That little bird is gathering twigs - from the trees to make a nest.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- You know so much, Nain. - You're very clever.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- They walked on through the forest.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- They eventually reached - Nain's garden.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- It's so pretty here. - There are so many flowers.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- The flowers are all different - - some are large and some are small.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Yes. I have some sunflowers, - daisies, daffodils and roses.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39- Your flowers are wonderful. I want - to learn more about them tomorrow.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- When the sun had set, - Falmai arrived home.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- As she fell asleep, - she felt very happy...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- ..thinking about - the flowers she'd seen.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- During the night, the weather - changed and it started snowing.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Sometimes, it snows unexpectedly - during the spring.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- This was one of those occasions.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Falmai liked snow - - what a wonderful sight.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- She set off for Nain's house.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Crwb the tortoise was waking up.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- He poked his head out of his shell - as Falmai walked past.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Nain came out of the house - to meet her.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Good morning. You're up early.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Good morning. You're up early.- - I came to see the flowers.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Where have they all gone?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- You can't see them in the snow.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- It's too cold for the flowers.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Nature changes all the time.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- Flowers bloom every year but - they wilt if the weather changes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- So, the flowers in your garden - change every year?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- Yes. The old flowers wilt. When - the sun shines, new flowers bloom.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- I see. What else in - the natural world changes like that?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Let's go for a walk in the forest - to find out.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- The animals - were happy to see the snow.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Twm was enjoying himself - sliding down the slopes on a leaf.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Here's something else that changes - - the stones in the river.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- They change shape all the time.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31- How do they change shape?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- How do they change shape?- - Listen carefully and I'll explain.
0:03:35 > 0:03:35- How do they change shape?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- As the water flows by, - it moves the stones.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- They rub against each other - which makes them smoother.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I didn't know that. - I'm learning so much.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- The pond skater - was having fun on a frozen pond.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Falmai and Nain - went to have a closer look.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- The pond is frozen solid today.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- It was full of water but when - the temperature dropped, it froze.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- It's like magic!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Tudwal the bear joined them. - He stood on the frozen pond.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- Tudwal's fur is so warm, it heated - the ice and melted the pond.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- This water is lovely and cold.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- You're right, Tudwal. - The water's cold and refreshing.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Falmai and Nain - headed for the forest.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Nain wanted to show Falmai some - more changes in the natural world.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- A dragonfly - was playing near the river.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Some rather strange creatures - then swam by.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56- Do animals change?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Of course they do - - some change a lot.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- When they're old, they look very - different to when they were young.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- The creatures in the river - are tadpoles.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- They will eventually grow four legs.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Their tails will disappear - and they will become frogs.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- That's great, Nain. Are there - any other animals that change?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Yes, there are - caterpillars.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- They build a house made of silk - and sleep in it for some time.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- When they reappear, - they have become butterflies.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Do I change, Nain?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- You change all the time. - You grow every day.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Soon, you'll be a big, strong cow.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Warm weather - soon returned to the forest.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- The snow melted in the sunshine - and turned to water, once again.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- The water flowed into the river...
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- ..and the plants and animals - had plenty to drink.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- New flowers bloomed - in Clara's garden.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Butterflies flew around them.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- The forest was full of colour - once more.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Falmai enjoyed seeing the way - the natural world changed.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Look, Falmai, the flowers - have bloomed once more.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Yes, they have. - I've just had an idea.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- I can give Mam a lovely surprise.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Falmai's parents arrived - to collect her from Nain's house.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- We've come to see the garden - and then we'll go home.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- We want to see the flowers.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Look, Mam, - I've collected these just for you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Thank you. We can admire - Nain's flowers at home.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- That was a nice idea. - You're such a considerate cow.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- As Falmai drifted off to sleep - that night...
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- ..she thought about - the shapes and colours of nature...
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- ..and how they change all the time.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Goodnight, Falmai.
0:07:37 > 0:07:37- .
