0:00:02 > 0:00:051,000 years ago, in the wild lands of the north,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07lived a special little girl.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14The trees and animals of the forest were her friends and playmates.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Now, travel back in time to join her games.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Come and explore the wild with...
0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's the end of summer.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42There's already a chill in the air
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and children need to collect firewood.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Although the forest seems quiet and still, little animals are busy too.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Millions of wood ants scavenge pine needles to thatch their nest.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And what's that under a twig, Gudrun?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's a harvestman spider.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23That's it, see what else you can find.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26But animals here are good at hiding.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31You've missed the timberman beetle.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35His antennae are longer than he is!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And a pine embroiderer spider.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Her legs are so thin, you can see straight through them.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54No wonder you missed her!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Keep searching.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01But watch out, Olaf - if you don't look where you're going,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04you'll run into a big surprise...
0:02:10 > 0:02:11..a reindeer.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17The reindeer are friends of the Vikings.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Look, Gudrun,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25he's wandered so far from the herd, he might not find his way back.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27What can you do to help?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Well done, Olaf.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Reindeer like to eat the stuff that grows amongst the blaeberries.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Some people call it reindeer moss but we Vikings call it lichen.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Good idea, Gudrun.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49The rope from the firewood's bound to be useful too.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00While the reindeer enjoys his favourite food, you can harness him
0:03:00 > 0:03:05with the rope and lead him back to the herd where he'll be safe.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Take care - the valley is boggy from the summer rains.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Even those big, wide feet that help the reindeer walk over soft snow
0:03:23 > 0:03:26are sinking into the bog.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28But what should you do?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31If you keep going, you could get stuck.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Trust the reindeer, Gudrun.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Let him lead for a while.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47That's it! He knows how to find the solid ground.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Climb through the trees.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Keep going out on to the open ground.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Back to the hilltop where the reindeer graze.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20The lost reindeer is nearly home...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25..and the herder is so happy to have him back.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38This is the way of the reindeer and the way of the Vikings too, Gudrun.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42No-one is ever left out of the herd.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49You're learning the ways of the wild.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53You're learning to be a true princess of the Vikings.
