0:03:20 > 0:03:22Dad, Mum's pulling you up now.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Dad, are you all right?

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Nearly there, Dad.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37That's it. There we go!

0:03:39 > 0:03:42What were you thinking?! Sheep can't abseil,

0:03:42 > 0:03:44everyone knows that!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Don't ever do it again.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02DOG WHIMPERS

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Wait!

0:04:04 > 0:04:07There's something wrong with Wayne.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, no, no, no, no.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Right...

0:04:35 > 0:04:37HORN BEEPS

0:04:37 > 0:04:38Wait.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Stop!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42What do you think you're playing at?!

0:04:42 > 0:04:44You've just earned yourself a ticket.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Officer Beddoe.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Gerry...

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Just come and have a look.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Wayne's not well. We need to get him to the vet.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Well, why didn't you say?!

0:05:03 > 0:05:04RINGS BELL

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Clear the roads, coming through.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Out of the way, Jonathan! This is an emergency!

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Hi, Mum! Bye, Mum!

0:05:21 > 0:05:23What did they say?! Is he injured?!

0:05:23 > 0:05:24No.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25What is it then?!

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Well, he's just old.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Too old for charging around and saving sheep, that's for sure.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Bit much for his heart.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38There is something that they can do, though, isn't there?

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Well, they've given him some medicine...

0:05:43 > 0:05:45..but you can't turn back time.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49We just need to get him home, let him rest,

0:05:49 > 0:05:50and see how he goes on.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56I know what'll cheer you up.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57The rope swing!

0:05:57 > 0:05:58I'm not leaving Wayne.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Well, he won't sleep with you staring at him!

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Why don't you all go, eh?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Got to write that story for English.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Better get a move on then,

0:06:07 > 0:06:10we don't want to upset Dibber's mum again, eh?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12I'd best be getting home.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Come on, Rocket, let's go.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19You all right, Daniel?

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Brandon-the-Bestmate-Stealer is doing my head in!

0:06:23 > 0:06:25I've been coming round here for years,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28but he's already better with animals than I am!

0:06:28 > 0:06:33You know, they do say that if a creature is wary of you,

0:06:33 > 0:06:34it's often because

0:06:34 > 0:06:38you've got the greatest animal-handling gift of them all.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- And what's that? - Thought-snatching!

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Some folk, they can put their hand over an animal's head

0:06:44 > 0:06:47and actually hear what it's thinking.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Mr B, I'm not a total wally.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Hey, I don't tell stories now, do I?

0:06:51 > 0:06:55No, it sounds to me

0:06:55 > 0:06:57like you could be one of them.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02You might just be a junior Dr Dolittle.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Hey, you have a go!

0:07:16 > 0:07:17Look...

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Why does anything or anybody have to grow old?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Why can't we just pick an age and stay like that for ever?

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Come on, mate.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Did you see that?!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37It must've just been asleep.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Birds don't sleep on their backs, Brandon!

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Well, that one did!

0:07:41 > 0:07:45No, it didn't. That bird wasn't asleep, you know it wasn't.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48That bird just came back to life!

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oh, do one, Madison.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03Er, nice to see you too!

0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'm warning you. I'm seriously not in the mood today.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09I'm...

0:08:09 > 0:08:10I'm not here to be funny.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Yeah?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15What are you here for then?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21You hung a ropey from the Wolf Tree?!

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Why, that's like riding a unicycle in a church!

0:08:24 > 0:08:25You're not really saying

0:08:25 > 0:08:28that some weird old tree brought a bird back to life?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Of course I'm not! I wasn't there, was I?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33But I'd say there's a fair chance,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36it does have the power of rejuvenation.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37Rejuva-what?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40It's like when you make something old young again.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42In ancient times,

0:08:42 > 0:08:45when someone on the island was getting on a bit

0:08:45 > 0:08:46or not feeling so well,

0:08:46 > 0:08:49their loved ones would come to Ballabungie,

0:08:49 > 0:08:50and hang as many shells

0:08:50 > 0:08:54from the branches of the Wolf Tree as they could.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56And then they'd rub two sticks together until they had a spark,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58plant it at its foot

0:08:58 > 0:09:02and put one of the poorly person's possessions next to it.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03And come the next morning...

0:09:03 > 0:09:05they'd be good as new!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'd rather go to the Walk-In Centre any day.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Every 80 years or so,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I have a pootle across, whack up a few shells,

0:09:12 > 0:09:15take a snooze by a sparkler, and come sunrise...

0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'm a teenager again!

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Rocket, can we go? I think Not-The-Oldest-Man-In-The-World

0:09:20 > 0:09:22is having one of his turns.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25If you're prepared to wait till 2018, I'll prove it to you.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27You have to believe in it, though,

0:09:27 > 0:09:29that's the most important thing.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32You have to believe in it with everything you've got.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33I don't!

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, I'd like to.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38And tonight, we're going to try it!

0:09:38 > 0:09:40What have we got to lose, Brandon?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42The second it goes dark,

0:09:42 > 0:09:44we're going to rejuvenate Wayne!

0:09:53 > 0:09:54You all right?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I don't know how to write a story,

0:09:56 > 0:09:57do I?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's dead easy.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Every good story has got a beginning, a middle, and an end.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Why?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oh. I don't know.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I suppose a story without an end

0:10:09 > 0:10:12wouldn't be much of a story at all, would it?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16It's the shape of things that really make them sparkle!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18How am I meant to come up with one?

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Ah, well, stories are everywhere.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24You just need to look for them.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Don't hold back. Go on.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Off-load anything you like.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Eughhhh! I didn't mean that!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53What am I doing?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I ain't no mind-reader.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Half the time I don't even know my own thoughts.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59This is stupid!

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Exactly!

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Was that my thought?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Or yours?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16We had a Scottie for years. Baxter.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21When he started getting ill all the time,

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I tried everything to make him better.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Got really into it,

0:11:26 > 0:11:29I actually thought I was going to be a vet, can you believe it?

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Well, why not?

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Have you seen my grades?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Yeah, but...

0:11:38 > 0:11:40It's not cos you're not clever, is it?

0:11:40 > 0:11:41It's cos...

0:11:41 > 0:11:43you don't try.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44Cos you mess about.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51He was obsessed with tennis balls.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Used to spend all day chasing them around,

0:11:53 > 0:11:56like he was practising for Wimbledon or something.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Wayne used to be the same with this Frisbee we had.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Whenever I see a green Frisbee,

0:12:04 > 0:12:05I'll always remember him.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07I mean...

0:12:09 > 0:12:12..when he's not around any more.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19I don't hate you, you know.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22I don't hate you either.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Brandon!

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Grass. Grass.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Grass.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Goat, you have a one-track mind!

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Erm, excuse me, I don't appreciate that sort of language.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24If you can't think anything nice, don't think anything at all.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26I'll take my fingertips elsewhere!

0:13:27 > 0:13:29What are you doing?

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Thought-snatching! Peter reckons I've got the gift.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Do you think it'll work on Bethany Summer?!

0:13:50 > 0:13:52What's she doing here?

0:13:52 > 0:13:53She came to see me, all right?

0:13:58 > 0:13:59Come on, boy.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00What are you doing?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03I'm going to take him to the old tree in the field,

0:14:03 > 0:14:05- he's going to sleep there tonight. - He's not well enough.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08That's why we're doing it, it's going to rejuvenate him!

0:14:08 > 0:14:10- I don't think... - I don't care what you think!

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Hey, leave him be.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17No, Dad, you don't understand, something weird happened before.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19At the Wolf Tree.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22The Oldest Man In The World reckons it might have some power.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27Dad, I know you won't believe that, I'm not even saying I believe that,

0:14:27 > 0:14:30but just imagine if it's true,

0:14:30 > 0:14:32if we could really turn back time.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Rocket.- Wayne's not to be moved.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36You know what the vet said.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Rest.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41You don't think Jess has got what Wayne's got, do you?

0:14:41 > 0:14:44She's hardly moved today.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47You can't catch old age, Jade.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49Don't worry, boy.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53I won't let you down.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Your dad said we're not to move him!

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Well, then, we need to make sure he doesn't find out, don't we?

0:15:02 > 0:15:08Even if it makes Wayne a little bit better, it'll be worth it, won't it?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Talking about the Wolf Tree thing, are you?

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Right, homework! - Keep your mouth shut, Healey.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22I haven't done it. I hate stories!

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Well, I want one on my desk by nine o'clock tomorrow.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27But tomorrow's Saturday!

0:15:27 > 0:15:28I'll still be here,

0:15:28 > 0:15:30and now, so will you!

0:15:30 > 0:15:31That's not fair!

0:15:31 > 0:15:33And for complaining, my office after school!

0:15:33 > 0:15:38Thing is, I've got a pair of pongy old socks at home,

0:15:38 > 0:15:40and if I leave them next to your tree,

0:15:40 > 0:15:43they'll be as good-as-new in the morning, won't they?

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Save my mum from having to wash them...

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Brandon Kelleher, sit down!

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Right, you can join her!

0:15:49 > 0:15:52And if you don't let go of Jonathan in three seconds,

0:15:52 > 0:15:54you're excluded.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55One...

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Two...

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Thank you.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09It's going to take more than a few seashells to perk Wayne up.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10The dog's ancient!

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Rocket Boulsworth!

0:16:20 > 0:16:21If you want to be a vet,

0:16:21 > 0:16:23then you can, I know you can.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Madison?! A vet?!

0:16:25 > 0:16:27You've got to be having a laugh!

0:16:27 > 0:16:28The only animal I've seen you with

0:16:28 > 0:16:30- is that scabby dog you used to have...- Tyler!

0:16:30 > 0:16:34You have to be like mega-good at science to be a vet.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Yeah, Alli. I'm not a total swot like you so I don't think so.- What?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41You're the one who talks to chickens.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43SHE CLUCKS

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Alli Boulsworth!

0:16:54 > 0:16:55We have to do it.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56What?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Take him to the Wolf Tree!

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Rocket...

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Come on. Please.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05We need to give it a try.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Who's in?

0:17:28 > 0:17:29What a family!

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Wayne? Here, boy.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47Wayne.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13I'm...

0:18:15 > 0:18:16I'm sorry, Rocket.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Are you really a thought-snatcher?

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Doubtful.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41I did have thoughts in my mind.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44But there's a chance they were just my own.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45How's Wayne?

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Worst thing of all is,

0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'm pretty sure Jess isn't right either,

0:19:53 > 0:19:55but everyone's too upset to notice!

0:19:55 > 0:19:58I thought you might be able to read her mind

0:19:58 > 0:19:59and find out what was wrong.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Come on, hand,

0:20:07 > 0:20:08let's see what you can do!

0:20:14 > 0:20:15KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Hurry up!- Eh?

0:20:18 > 0:20:19We need to get the others

0:20:19 > 0:20:21and take the shells and hang them on the tree!

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Rocket, Wayne's gone.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25I know, but he can come back!

0:20:25 > 0:20:26Me and Brandon saw it happen.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Rocket...- You said you'd come!

0:21:30 > 0:21:31What?!

0:25:50 > 0:25:51Brandon!

0:25:53 > 0:25:55You can't take a puppy away from its mum.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57It needs her to keep warm.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59It's really important.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01I... I didn't know.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03We can keep that one, though?

0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'm not going to snatch any thoughts any more.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14I'm hanging my fingertips up. It's a lot of responsibility!

0:26:40 > 0:26:41It's like you said.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Everything needs an end just as much as a beginning,

0:26:45 > 0:26:48it's the shape of things that makes them sparkle!

0:26:48 > 0:26:50So...I wrote this.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55And now we can read it over and over again!

0:27:17 > 0:27:20with a collar that was two sizes too big.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22And when he first saw the Boulsworth family,

0:27:22 > 0:27:24he didn't wait to be chosen,

0:27:24 > 0:27:25he chose them.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Say hello to Archie Beckles.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Great(!) Another weird kid.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34He can't speak, can he?

0:27:34 > 0:27:37They say dragons could talk, but chose not to.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Woe betide anyone who tried to make them.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42SCREAMING Jade?

0:27:42 > 0:27:44There's a dangerous snake on the loose.
