0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Well, I'll tell you.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02- ..the first thing they say is...
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- .."Taid, Nain, can we help you - make the weather today?"
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Taid always replies...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- .."Well, yes, of course!
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- "But don't do a thing - unless Nain or myself are with you."
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Into the weather kitchen they'd go.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- That's some room.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36- It's full of jars, - tubes, saucepans...
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- ..pans, powders, aromas and liquids.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- And books. Hundreds of them. - They're all about the weather.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- From floods to drought. - From drizzle to strong winds.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- From snowstorms to the rainbow.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Well, it was the beginning - of the summer holidays.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Morus and Ifan were very excited.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- They were going to - Taid and Nain Tywydd's house.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- "What are we going to do today?" - Morus asked Nain.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- "Well, it's such a sunny day...
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- "..I'm going to make some rain - to water the flowers.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- "Later, Taid will make a rainbow," - replied Nain.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- "They're so pretty. - Taid's rainbows are beautiful.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- "Aren't they, Taid?"
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Taid laughed.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- "Pass me the cloud - that's in the large jar," said Nain.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Ifan grabbed the biggest jar - he could see.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03- Inside the jar, - smoke swirled around.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- "No, no, not that one - that's - the fog," said Nain in a panic.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- "We don't want fog until September. - I just want a summer shower.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- "The next one down."
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- "This one?" asked Ifan, - as he grabbed an even bigger jar.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- There was more swirly stuff - inside it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- "Goodness me, no," said Nain, - "That's a whirlwind.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- "If we let that out of the jar, - we won't know what's hit us."
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- "It was meant to be a sea breeze," - said Taid.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- "But my hand slipped - when I put the wind in it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- "Instead of adding two drops, - I added the whole jar!"
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- "This one, Nain?" asked Ifan...
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- ..pointing at a jar - full of twirly-wirlies.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- "Yes," replied Nain, - "Pass it over carefully.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- "Morus, help Taid - while he makes his rainbow."
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- As Nain opened the jar carefully...
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- ..and let out the tiniest - drop of cloud...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- ..which she added - to her mixing bowl...
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- ..Taid and Morus poured - red rose petals, orange peel...
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- ..bright yellow daffodils, - a dark green leaf...
0:05:26 > 0:05:33- ..some blue sky, sunset indigo - and violet from the garden...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- ..into the jar - and shook it all together.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- Out they went with Morus and Ifan - to stand on top of the hill.
0:05:45 > 0:05:54- A beautiful rainbow stretched from - one side of the valley to the other.
0:05:54 > 0:06:01- Taid, Nain, Morus and Ifan - could see everyone pointing at it...
0:06:01 > 0:06:08- ..and saying 'whoo' and 'aahh!'
0:06:10 > 0:06:16- "Now then," said Taid, "We have - a big job to do on Saturday."
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- "The summer fair is in Cwm Distaw.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- "We must make sure - that the sun shines all day...
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- "..with a gentle breeze - sweeping in every now and then."
0:06:27 > 0:06:33- "And that, my boys, is a big job," - said Nain.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- ""Everyone in the valley - has been busy...
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- "..setting up stalls, rides, - a big wheel and a helter-skelter.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- "We have to play our part too."
0:06:46 > 0:06:51- So, they all went into the - weather kitchen to start the work.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57- Taid wore his special goggles - and made lots of sunshine rays.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Nain put tonnes of fresh air - into the oven...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- ..to warm them up for the big day.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09- Taid went into the weather fridge - to fetch some huge ice cubes.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- He crunched them into small - pieces with his rolling engine...
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- ..and stored them in a jug ready - to be turned into a gentle breeze.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- Everything was going well until - the day before the summer fair.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Taid caught the worst flu - you could ever imagine...
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- ..and he had to stay in bed.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Soon, Nain was struck down - with the same flu.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53- Both stayed in bed - and slept for hours.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- "There's only one thing for it," - said Morus...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- ..as Nain and Taid snored upstairs.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- "We'll have to do - the weather tomorrow."
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Ifan wasn't sure about this but - they'd been left with little choice.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- And so, they both started the work.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- But oh, dear...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- ..what a mess they made.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- In a panic, - Morus dropped the whirlwind jar...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- ..as he stretched up to grab - the fluffy white clouds.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- When Ifan was searching - for morning dew...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- ..he dropped a barrel of heavy rain.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Argh!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- What a shambles.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- The whirlwind swirled wildly - through the valley.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- It rained heavily all day.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56- Every stall and ride in the fair - fell flat on the ground.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- All the tress were uprooted.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- And the mud!
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- The fairground was a sea - of thick brown sludge.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- The people of Cwm Distaw - were heartbroken.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Morus and Ifan were very concerned.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- "What have we done?" asked Ifan.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28- "It's going to take us ages - to sort this out and dry it all up.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- "It's hopeless."
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- "Well, I don't think we should - touch anything else," replied Morus.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- "We have no option but to tell - Nain and Taid what's happened.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- "And face the consequences."
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- That's what they did.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Even though Nain and Taid - were a little upset...
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- ..they accepted that the boys - had only been trying to help.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Having said that, - they had to clear the mess somehow.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- Then Nain had the best idea - she'd ever had.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- "Look!" Morus and Ifan - could see a little box.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- There was a shiny sign on it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- It read 'snow'.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- "What? But it's the middle - of summer," said Ifan.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- "I know," replied Nain...
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- .."But snow will hide the mess - and make it look nice."
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- So, they all took a deep breath...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- ..and opened the box.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Then, they dropped the contents - of the box over Cwm Distaw.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- When the people of Cwm Distaw - woke up the following day...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- ..a layer of shiny white snow - covered the valley.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Taid had also thrown in - some sunshine rays...
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- ..and so, against a backdrop - of blue sky and shiny rays...
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- ..Cwm Distaw looked perfect.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33- Everyone came to the summer fair - and had the best time ever.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- They made a ski slope using the snow - that covered the trees.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- There were sledge races - down the hill...
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- ..snowball competitions - and plenty of snowmen.
0:11:45 > 0:11:52- Everyone agreed that this was the - best summer fair they'd ever had.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59- Every summer since then, - Cwm Distaw have a snow festival.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- But don't tell anyone - or everyone will want to go there.
0:12:25 > 0:12:25- .
