Seals Gudrun: The Viking Princess

A thousand years ago, in the wild lands of the North,

lived a special little girl.

The trees and animals of the forest were her friends and playmates.

Now travel back in time to join her games.

Come and explore the wild with Gudrun, the Viking Princess.

Every Viking must be a warrior.

And even a princess has to learn the skills of battle.

But wielding a sword is hard work for young arms,

so it's best to take turns.

That's it. Have your go now, Olaf.

But Viking warriors need good lookouts, too.

You never know what danger might come from the sea.

Take a walk towards the water, Gudrun.

See what's happening out there.

Look, Gudrun, it's a seal.

As the tide goes out, she can rest from fishing.

There are others here, too.

They like living together...

..just like Vikings.

Here's the father seal, the bull.

Does he look a bit like King Sigurd?

They're interested in you, Gudrun.

If you stay still, the seals will come and take a look at you.

But look out behind you.

A Viking warrior must always watch their back.

King Sigurd, you frightened away Gudrun's new friends.

They're so far away now.

How can you get them back?

KING SIGURD CALLS

Yes, that's it.

Sing to the seals.

They know this song.

CALLING CONTINUES

CALLING CONTINUES

They know you mean them no harm.

Look, they're coming back.

Vikings need to understand the sounds of the wild,

and talk to the animals.

If you can master this skill, you are a true Princess of the Vikings.
