-A long time ago,

-in a little Welsh valley...

0:00:510:00:55

-..which nestled

-between Graig Fach and Graig Fawr...

0:00:550:01:00

-..stood the village

-of Pentre Bach y Glo.

0:01:000:01:03

-Most of the men in Pentre Bach y Glo

-worked in the coalmine.

0:01:040:01:08

-It was a hard life but the townsfolk

-were all good friends.

0:01:080:01:14

-At the foot of Graig Fawr, Ffredi

-Morus lived with his parents...

0:01:140:01:18

-..Jon and Meri-Jen...

0:01:190:01:20

-..and his siblings,

-Lisi, Reuben, Neli and Tomi.

0:01:200:01:25

-Ffredi's father

-worked in the coalmine.

0:01:390:01:41

-He had a fertile vegetable garden

-in front of the house.

0:01:420:01:45

-He grew potatoes, carrots,

-cabbage and kidney beans.

0:01:460:01:50

-Reuben and Tomi enjoyed helping him.

0:01:510:01:53

-Ffredi, on the other hand,

-hated gardening.

0:01:540:01:59

-Jon Morus, his father, made

-wooden toys for the children.

0:02:010:02:05

-Reuben and Tomi would often help

-their father by collecting wood.

0:02:050:02:10

-But Ffredi didn't.

0:02:110:02:13

-Some nights, the family

-would gather at the piano.

0:02:290:02:33

-Meri-Jen would play, Lisi,

-Reuben, Neli and Tomi would sing...

0:02:330:02:39

-..while Jon Morus conducted them.

0:02:390:02:42

-Ffredi hated nothing

-more than singing.

0:02:420:02:46

-Truth be told,

-Ffredi only wanted to eat, sleep...

0:02:480:02:52

-..and do as little as possible.

0:02:530:02:55

-It was a harsh winter.

0:03:000:03:02

-Food was scarce and Jon

-would chop wood in his spare time...

0:03:030:03:07

-..to sell as firewood

-for six pence a bundle.

0:03:070:03:10

-Ffredi refused to help his father

-to chop the wood.

0:03:110:03:15

-Ffredi was sure there was

-another, easier way to make money...

0:03:150:03:20

-..which didn't involve hard work.

0:03:200:03:23

-Early one morning, Jon Morus awoke

-and went to wake up Ffredi.

0:03:240:03:29

-"Ffredi," he called tenderly...

0:03:290:03:32

-.."There's a pile of wood in

-the garden that needs to be chopped.

0:03:320:03:36

-"If we can sell a few bundles,

-we can buy some food.

0:03:360:03:40

-"Can you do that for me

-while I'm down the mine?"

0:03:400:03:43

-Ffredi moaned.

0:03:430:03:45

-He didn't want to chop wood.

0:03:470:03:49

-After breakfast, he dragged himself

-to the pile of wood....

0:03:570:04:02

-..and grabbed the axe lazily.

0:04:020:04:04

-As the axe hit the long plank...

0:04:050:04:08

-..a little elf appeared

-from the pile.

0:04:080:04:11

-He had a miner's lamp in his hand.

0:04:120:04:15

-"Who are you?" asked Ffredi.

0:04:170:04:19

-"I'm the forest elf,"

-replied the elf.

0:04:200:04:25

-"Do you see the miner's lamp?

-It's a magic lamp."

0:04:250:04:29

-Ffredi pinched his arm,

-but he wasn't dreaming.

0:04:300:04:34

-"Look straight into the flame

-and say these words.

0:04:340:04:38

-"'Little lamp

-with its flickering light...

0:04:390:04:41

-"..'bring me a fortune

-this very night.'

0:04:420:04:44

-"Then, you'll have all the money

-you so wish."

0:04:440:04:47

-A huge smile appeared

-on Ffredi's face...

0:04:470:04:51

-..as he reached out for the lamp.

0:04:510:04:54

-"Hup, hup, hup!" warned the elf.

0:04:540:04:56

-"There's one condition."

0:04:570:04:59

-"Anything," replied Ffredi.

0:04:590:05:01

-"You must live on Graig Fawr

-and never return.

0:05:020:05:05

-"If you do,

-all the money will disappear...

0:05:050:05:08

-"..and all your clothes

-will turn to rags."

0:05:080:05:11

-"I won't move an inch

-from that mountaintop.

0:05:120:05:16

-"I'm going to be rich," said Ffredi.

0:05:160:05:19

-And so, the elf gave him the magical

-miner's lamp before disappearing.

0:05:200:05:26

-Ffredi ran into the house and

-scribbled a note to his parents.

0:05:260:05:31

-"Dear Mam and Dad...

0:05:310:05:33

-"..gone away to seek my fortune.

0:05:330:05:37

-"The end.

0:05:380:05:41

-"Ffredi."

0:05:410:05:43

-He took all the food from the pantry

-and headed for the mountain.

0:05:560:06:01

-He found a cave in Graig Fawr

-where he could shelter.

0:06:010:06:05

-As the sun set that night, the flame

-in the lamp burnt brighter...

0:06:050:06:10

-..and Ffredi peered at it...

0:06:100:06:13

-..saying, "Little lamp

-with its flickering light...

0:06:130:06:16

-"..bring me a fortune

-this very night."

0:06:160:06:18

-There and then, a pile of gold

-appeared next to him.

0:06:180:06:23

-"I'm rich! Finally!

0:06:240:06:27

-"I knew there was an easier way

-to make money.

0:06:280:06:31

-He danced happily in the moonlight

-and felt all the gold coins.

0:06:310:06:36

-The following night,

-it happened again.

0:06:390:06:42

-As the flame grew,

-Ffredi looked at it and said...

0:06:430:06:47

-.."Little lamp

-with its flickering light...

0:06:470:06:51

-"..bring me a fortune

-this very night!"

0:06:510:06:54

-Another pile of gold appeared.

0:06:540:06:56

-Ffredi had never been so happy.

0:06:570:06:59

-No chopping wood, no housework...

0:06:590:07:02

-..no brothers and sisters

-arguing all the time...

0:07:020:07:06

-..no Mam and Dad

-telling him what to do.

0:07:060:07:09

-"This is the life."

0:07:100:07:12

-As the weeks passed,

-the gold kept on coming...

0:07:180:07:22

-..until the cave was full of coins.

0:07:220:07:25

-Ffredi would shout

-from the top of the golden pile...

0:07:250:07:29

-.."This is all mine.

0:07:290:07:31

-"I'm the richest boy

-in the whole wide world."

0:07:310:07:36

-But soon, he ran out of food.

0:07:370:07:41

-He thought about going shopping

-in Pentre Bach y Glo...

0:07:420:07:46

-..but he remembered the elf's words.

0:07:460:07:49

-If he left the mountain...

0:07:490:07:51

-..the money would disappear

-and his clothes would turn to rags.

0:07:510:07:55

-So he had to live

-on berries and mushrooms.

0:07:560:07:59

-His only companion was the weather

-and the odd owl or two.

0:07:590:08:04

-Even though a pile of gold coins

-shone brightly next to him...

0:08:050:08:09

-..and that was what he had

-wanted more than anything...

0:08:090:08:13

-..suddenly,

-Ffredi started to feel very sad.

0:08:130:08:17

-To be honest, he missed his bed.

0:08:280:08:32

-His warm, cosy bed.

0:08:330:08:35

-And his brothers and sisters

-weren't that bad.

0:08:370:08:42

-Truth to be told, they were

-quite happy, loving and dear.

0:08:420:08:49

-And his father... and his mother.

0:08:500:08:54

-His mothers arms around him

-when he was hurt.

0:08:540:08:57

-The laughter of his father

-filling the room.

0:08:580:09:01

-The family's happy voices

-around the piano.

0:09:010:09:04

-That thing which

-he couldn't properly describe...

0:09:050:09:09

-..was what made him feel safe.

0:09:090:09:11

-Then it dawned on him

-what that things was.

0:09:140:09:17

-It was love.

0:09:190:09:21

-His parents, Lisi, Reuben, Neli and

-Tomi loved him with all their heart.

0:09:210:09:28

-Ffredi realised

-that he loved them too.

0:09:290:09:32

-He looked at the gold coins

-for the final time...

0:09:390:09:42

-..before running down the mountain.

0:09:430:09:45

-In the distance,

-the gold started to disappear.

0:09:460:09:49

-As he ran,

-his clothes turned to rags.

0:09:490:09:52

-He ran and he ran until he reached

-the cottage where he once lived.

0:09:530:09:58

-Through the window, he could see his

-family huddled together looking sad.

0:09:580:10:04

-As he burst through the door, they

-all rushed to him in tears of joy.

0:10:080:10:15

-All he could say was, "I'm sorry."

0:10:240:10:27

-He promised to work hard

-and help his parents from now on.

0:10:280:10:33

-To be honest, he helped his mother

-in the kitchen...

0:10:330:10:38

-..because he was good at baking.

0:10:380:10:40

-Soon, he started

-to sell the bread in his village...

0:10:410:10:44

-..from a basket on his bike.

0:10:450:10:47

-When he was older,

-he opened his own bakery...

0:10:470:10:51

-..where Meri-Jen, Neli

-and Lisi would also work...

0:10:510:10:55

-..making the tastiest cakes

-and the sweetest jams.

0:10:550:10:59

-Having all the world's gold couldn't

-have matched the feeling he had...

0:10:590:11:04

-..when he was back with his family.

0:11:040:11:07
