0:08:07 > 0:08:10- ..her feet slapped - and her arms flapped.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- What sort of noise did she make?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- What sort of noise did she make?- - Like nails on a blackboard!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- She screeched, - "Come here, chick, chick, chick!"
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- "Come here, come here, chick!"
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Ha, ha!

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Yes, it's really funny.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39- You made it even funnier when you - described how your aunt looked...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- ..and how she sounded.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Details bring a story to life.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Who else has a story - to share with us?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Mr Ap Carn was a brilliant teacher.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Everyone in the class - wanted to tell a story.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- My father is a blacksmith and he's - shod the fastest horses in Spain.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Mr Ap Carn encouraged him - to describe things so well...
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- ..we could almost smell - the sweaty horses and the straw.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Then, Huwcyn told a story.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- And there I was, in the orchard, - fighting a huge, fierce goat.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- I could imagine his eyes and - almost feel his breath on my face.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- The school day was over - before we knew it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- I'm sorry, but we don't have time - for any more stories today.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Your homework - is to write a two-page story...

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- We'll read them on Monday.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Off you go!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- The weekend started - and we forgot about our homework.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- By Sunday afternoon, the fact - we had to we had to write a story...
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- ..was starting to spoil our game.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20- You'll have to dig without me, - Captain Porchell.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- What? Do you want to walk the plank?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- No, I want to walk home - so I can start my homework.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40- I'd better go, too.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- No, don't go! Write the story later.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Writing is easy for you - but it takes a long time for me.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- No - you should go - and start your homework, Porchell.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Yes, Dad.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- I had every intention - of starting my homework...
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- ..but there was a lot to do - before I could get to work.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- I had a new Buck Bravo comic - to read.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- I fetched paper and a pencil - and I sat at the desk to write...
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- ..but I couldn't resist - making a paper aeroplane or two!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Porchell, are you coming?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- In the evening, - when I'd eaten a hearty supper...
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- ..I was ready to get to work.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Let me see.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- It was a cold, autumn's day - in Tyddyn Llan... No!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- It was a chilly, windy autumn's day - in Tyddyn Llan.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Mr Ap Carn will like that!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- I'd just come home - after playing with my friends.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20- No, no, no!
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- After an amazing adventure - with my loyal friends.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Suddenly, my little sister - let out a scream.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- A blood-curdling scream!
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- I'll definitely get top marks - and a gold star for this homework!
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- I ran over to her - to find out what was wrong.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- And what did I see there but...
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Porchell, have you - finished your homework?

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- William, it's a full moon!
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Is there anything more romantic?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Oh, a better view of the full moon!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Oh, William! - You think of everything.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- There's something wrong. - I can't see through it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- It's no better - when I look through the other eye.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- William, this telescope - doesn't work.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- William? William? Where are you?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- William, why is that racoon - smiling at me?

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Porchell, why don't you come up - and read your story?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46- Oh, um... yes, sir.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- It was a chilly, windy autumn's day - in Tyddyn Llan.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10- I'd just come home after an amazing - adventure with my loyal friends.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Suddenly, my little sister - let out a blood-curdling scream!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- I ran over to her - to find out what was wrong.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- What did I see flying - around my sister's head but...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Carry on, Porchell! - It's good, so far.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Flying around my sister's head, - there was a dragon.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Yes - a dragon!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- A fire-breathing dragon!
0:17:46 > 0:17:47- It was as big as a house.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- It was flying - above my dear sister's head.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- SHE SCREAMS
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Mali ran safely into Dad's arms...
0:17:59 > 0:18:04- ..but the dragon was still - breathing fire all over the yard.
0:18:04 > 0:18:11- My brave father ran to the trough - and he filled a bucket with water.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Dad threw the water - straight into the dragon's mouth.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Then, he started to - wag his huge tail.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- I mean the dragon - not Dad!
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- He rolled onto his back, - like an enormous dog.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- The dragon wasn't nasty, - he was just thirsty. The End.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- That was a great story, Porchell!
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Well, well! You wrote - a great story there, Porchell.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Hand your papers over to me.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Hand your papers over to me.- - My papers?!
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- That isn't the complete story. - Those are my notes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- The dragon ate my homework - this morning, on the way to school!
0:19:06 > 0:19:07- I see.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Mr Gafr Eto told me - you have lots of talent, Porchell.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- Did he?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- Did he?- - Yes, he did.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Your story was imaginative - and exciting.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Thank you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Do I get a gold star for it?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- No, I'm afraid it means - you get a fail, Porchell.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- You didn't do all your homework.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- But I'm really talented!
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- Yes, you're talented but it's up to - you to put that talent to good use.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- That means you must work hard - and you didn't do that this time.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- But...!
0:19:51 > 0:19:52- But...!- - Back to your seat.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Who's next?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- I was upset for the rest of the day.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- It isn't fair! - He said I was talented.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21- He doesn't like me.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- He's being nasty to me.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28- Sorry, Matholwch!
0:20:31 > 0:20:32- I'm not bothered!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Mr Ap Carn isn't a real teacher.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- He's only a supply teacher.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Oh, but I had to face the truth.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- The truth was - I didn't work hard enough...
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- ..and, deep down, - I knew I could do much better.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05- I took a blank sheet of paper - and I started to write a new story.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- You've been writing since then.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Yes, Nia, and I never took my talent - for granted again.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- I had a talent - for telling stories...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- ..but it was up to me - to make the most of that talent.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- You're telling me - I should go and work on my dance.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42- I don't remember saying those words - but I think it's a good idea!
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Why don't we both do some work?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48- MUSIC
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- I hope you're making the most - of your talents, too.
