-Dafydd, make sure

-you brush your teeth!

-I know, Mam.

-I'll do it in two minutes.

-Oh, goodness me!

-Sorry, I thought you were reading.

-I was.

-But it must be bedtime

-if I'm falling asleep mid-chapter.

-What are you looking for, Dafydd?

-His action toy.

-His action toy.

-

-Captain Cyclops, Action Hero.

-Whatever, he's lost it.

-Whatever, he's lost it.

-

-No, I haven't, he was on a mission.

-Now I can't find him.

-Now I can't find him.

-

-I see.

-Can you describe the action hero?

-Captain Cyclops is very strong.

-He flies through the air,

-doing loops and spins.

-Bad men don't stand a chance...

-..because he can see into the future

-with his emerald eye.

-He sounds remarkable.

-He is.

-He's brave and he saves the world.

-He watches over children

-when they're asleep...

-..to ward off nightmares.

-I have to find him

-before going to bed.

-Are you going to help your brother

-find him, Sion?

-He can go to bed

-without him for one night.

-I'm sure he can, but couldn't you

-show a little sympathy?

-It's only a toy.

-Maybe to you, but it's obvious

-Dafydd feels differently.

-I had a similar experience

-with my friend, Ffyrgi.

-Did you?

-Did you?

-

-Yes, I did.

-Ffyrgi had lost something too...

-..and Dwynwen and I didn't realize

-how important it was to him.

-Fernando Toro,

-we're here to take you to school!

-Come out with your hands up!

-You're surrounded!

-We know you're in there!

-You've no chance of escaping!

-Something's wrong.

-Buenos dias, ninos.

-Good morning, Don Toro.

-Good morning, Don Toro.

-Is Ffyrgi alright?

-I'll let him tell you himself.

-What's wrong?

-It's Thor.

-It's Thor.

-

-Your goldfish?

-Thor the Goldfish,

-the Viking King of Thunder!

-Known throughout the land for

-his bravery and chilling war cry.

-What about him, Ffyrgi?

-He's dead.

-Er, what a shame.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-Want to play hurley after school?

-He was a good fish.

-He always listened to me.

-I miss him.

-I miss him.

-

-The best thing to do...

-..is come with us to school

-and forget about it.

-Perhaps I should stay at home

-to be with Thor.

-Haven't you flushed him

-down the toilet yet?

-He was a friend.

-You can't do that to a friend.

-Oh, no, perhaps not.

-Sooner you bury him, the

-sooner you'll forget about him.

-But I don't want to forget him.

-Here's your lunch.

-I'll see to Thor, if you like.

-No, thank you, Papa. Gracias.

-But it's my fish.

-I'll see to him later.

-Bedwyr, I'm bored.

-Bored of ruling.

-They would be too, except they're

-missing one vital ingredient.

-Brains.

-What we need is an activity.

-Something to get us moving.

-Something to get the blood pumping.

-Sport!

-Cricket? Don't be silly.

-That'd be worse than being bored.

-No, no, golf is a game, not a sport.

-Tennis! That's the ticket!

-It requires energy and agility.

-If there are no more questions,

-you can put away your maths books.

-In the time that's left...

-..who can tell me

-what attracts visitors to Ireland?

-Huwcyn?

-Huwcyn?

-

-Dad says visitors come here...

-..to fish for salmon.

-He says Irish salmon is the best.

-Excellent. Fishing is popular.

-Thor was a fish.

-Some people visit Ireland

-to see our famous glass producers.

-They make crystal bowls and vases.

-And pretty-coloured windows.

-Thor liked being by the window.

-A very good answer, Marged.

-Calm down, Gwydion,

-you'll get your chance.

-People come to see our

-historical landmarks and artefacts.

-The Book of Kells

-is one of our national treasures.

-Thor had a treasure chest

-in his goldfish bowl.

-Are you alright, Ffyrgi?

-I was teaching him

-to give me a kiss.

-Hey, hey, hey, don't laugh.

-Listen to me. He's upset

-because his goldfish has died.

-We'll help him get over it.

-We'll help him get over it.

-

-Mr Gafr Eto, may I be excused?

-Of course you may. Take your time.

-If you'd like to stay behind

-for a chat...

-..I'll be here for you.

-Thank you, Mr Gafr Eto, but

-Porchell and Dwynwen will help me.

-Fair enough.

-Yo, Bedwyr, what's taking so long?

-Still limbering up?

-Better keep

-some of your energy for the game.

-Forehand. Lob.

-Oh, and before I forget...

-There we go. Looking good!

-At last. I know you're tired.

-I'll make things easy for you.

-Victory's in sight.

-Poor Ffyrgi. He wasn't himself

-in school that day.

-We had to cheer him up.

-I thought the best way to do that

-was to make him forget about Thor.

-You're taking your time walking

-home. It's a lovely afternoon.

-I hadn't noticed.

-I've noticed that your lunch bag

-is as heavy as it was this morning.

-I've lost my appetite today,

-Porchell.

-Help yourself.

-Let me see what you have. Oh, no!

-What's wrong, Porchell?

-What's wrong, Porchell?

-

-Raw vegetable sandwiches.

-They turn me into Vlad The Fool!

-Aaargh! You vampire!

-Don't worry, Ffyrgi. I'll save you.

-Why do they call you The Fool?

-Because I always do

-the opposite of what I should.

-Don't put this sandwich

-on your head then.

-Don't flap your arms like a hen.

-Ffyrgi? I'm very sorry

-to hear about your goldfish.

-What was he called?

-Er, er, his name was Thor.

-It means thunder.

-When I fed him, his tummy rumbled.

-It rumbled like thunder.

-I liked that.

-That's how he got the name.

-Don't remind Ffyrgi of Thor.

-He'll never forget about him

-if he's always mentioned.

-I'm sorry. What can we do?

-This will cheer him up.

-Without a doubt.

-Ffyrgi, I bet you don't know

-what song this is.

-That's easy.

-That's Paddy McGinty's Goat.

-You know almost every song in

-the world. We never catch you out.

-Try this one, Ffyrgi.

-# Doo-doo-doo doo-doo doo doo doo

-# Who's that girl

-with the hazel-brown hair? #

-Correct!

-Correct!

-

-You're incredible, Ffyrgi.

-Far too easy. Harder.

-You'll never get this one,

-not in a million years!

-This?

-Wait. No.

-He doesn't know, Porchell!

-Do you give in, Ffyrgi?

-Do you give in, Ffyrgi?

-

-Ooh! Ooh!

-Who Threw Clean Laundry

-To Mrs Griffith's Cauldron!

-Well done, Ffyrgi.

-But you were in the wrong key,

-Porchell. That's why I took so long.

-You're so talented, Ffyrgi.

-Yes! I'm ready!

-Hold on! Ohhhh!

-Oh, look at it spin!

-Now look at it.

-I call it walking the tight rope.

-We managed to make Ffyrgi

-forget about his fish.

-At least that's what we thought.

-At least that's what we thought.

-

-I'll get it.

-What's wrong, Ffyrgi?

-What's wrong, Ffyrgi?

-

-Is something wrong?

-I was having so much fun,

-I forgot about Thor.

-That's a good thing.

-You should forget.

-I know I should...

-..but I don't want to.

-Maybe there's

-something wrong with me.

-Do you want to carry on

-playing with the whip and top?

-I'd like to be alone with Thor.

-Do you mind?

-We'll see you later on.

-OK.

-Ffyrgi was obviously

-still sad about Thor.

-It worried us.

-So we did the only thing

-we could think of.

-We voiced our concerns

-to Ffyrgi's father.

-You're good friends

-to be so worried.

-He's not getting over it, Don Toro.

-We've tried to cheer him up.

-We've tried to cheer him up.

-

-Well, this will sound strange.

-But sometimes

-it's alright to be sad.

-But Ffyrgi isn't sad as in dropping-

-his-ice-cream-in-the-mud sad...

-..he's very, very, very sad.

-Sometimes it's alright

-to be very, very sad, Porchell.

-Is this one of those times,

-because he can't forget Thor?

-This is one of those times.

-There are things in life we don't

-want to forget, or should forget.

-It's good to remember them.

-Ffyrgi's mother died

-when Ffyrgi was very young.

-The way Don Toro looked at her

-picture helped us understand.

-If you love someone very much and

-miss them, you never forget them.

-We were worried

-Ffyrgi would never be happy again.

-Would you like some tuna to eat?

-No! Er, no, thank you.

-Dad, not since Ffyrgi

-lost his fish today!

-Lost his fish?

-Sorry to hear that.

-He's not very happy then?

-We tried helping him to get over it

-but it's not working.

-The best thing he can do is remember

-all the fun he had with his fish.

-He shouldn't feel sad

-that he's dead.

-That's what Don Toro said too.

-We'll have to help him

-remember the good times.

-You could give the fish a wake.

-There's no point,

-he's stone cold dead.

-No, sweetheart,

-a wake is an Irish tradition.

-It's to celebrate

-a life that's ended.

-I haven't heard of that.

-You're lucky

-you've never lost anyone.

-A wake is a way for people

-to show their love for each other...

-..and to pay their respects

-to the departed.

-I like that idea.

-We'll have a wake for Thor

-to celebrate his life...

-..and help Ffyrgi

-to remember the good times.

-Why are you saying that?

-I'm dying to play tennis with you.

-Literally.

-Bedwyr, you have to believe me.

-I love tennis.

-I love shorts. I love sweatbands and

-how the winner jumps over the net!

-Look, Ffyrgi,

-these are for your wake.

-A few cucumber sandwiches.

-Thank you, Mr Gafr Eto.

-The procession made its way

-to the lake near Dwynwen's house.

-It was the ideal spot

-to say farewell to Thor.

-We're here today for Thor...

-..Ffyrgi's goldfish that died.

-Feel free to say a few words

-about Thor.

-When my father was a boy,

-he had a dog that died.

-He felt sad and cried for days.

-He wanted to shield me from the same

-sadness, so I never had a pet.

-I realized I'd never experienced

-the grief of losing a pet.

-I also didn't realize the joy

-that came from owning a pet.

-I'm glad you had

-that time with Thor.

-Gracias, Papa. Thank you.

-I saw Thor in the pet shop...

-..before Ffyrgi bought him.

-I wanted it for myself

-but Mam said I had too many pets.

-I was happy for Ffyrgi to have him.

-Your turn, Mali.

-I like fish. I like eating them

-when they're baked, fried...

-Well done, Mali.

-Huwcyn has something to say.

-Smoked and dried.

-We got the message, Mali.

-On toast...

-On toast...

-

-Come on, Huwcyn.

-I never met Ffyrgi's fish,

-but I know Ffyrgi.

-If Thor made Ffyrgi happy,

-then he must've been a good fish.

-Ah-ha. Oh.

-Are you sure? Fine.

-Ffyrgi'd like to sing a song now.

-Then,

-while the rest of us listened...

-..Ffyrgi sung his song.

-# My favourite little fish,

-I'll never forget... #

-It was jolly and sentimental

-but also sad...

-..at the same time.

-# I gave you a name

-and looked after you

-# But you offered

-something more important

-# To me

-# You'll always be in my heart

-# Forever more #

-It's now time

-to return Thor to the depths...

-..where he belongs.

-Goodbye, my friend.

-Goodbye, Thor.

-Mr Gafr Eto was very thoughtful

-providing these cucumber sandwiches.

-I've made mantecados

-for you, Ffyrgi.

-Mantecados? Oh, thank you.

-Mante what?

-Mante what?

-

-Mantecados.

-Cinnamon and almond sweets -

-Thor's favourites.

-Mmm! Delicious.

-I'm glad I made you something

-that reminded you of him.

-Are you feeling better now?

-I'm still sad

-but it's a good sadness.

-Excuse me, everybody!

-Excuse me!

-Thank you all for coming.

-Thor would have liked his wake.

-I know now

-that he will never be forgotten...

-..and I also know that there

-is nobody in the entire world...

-..with better friends than me.

-So you see, Sion,

-it wasn't until I understood...

-..what Ffyrgi's fish meant to him...

-..that I could be a true friend...

-..and help him through his problems.

-Like I didn't realize how important

-Captain Cyclops was to Dafydd.

-Now, I didn't think of that.

-I understand now. I'll help Dafydd

-find his action hero.

-Don't bother. Mam says

-it's bedtime in five minutes.

-I can't find Captain Cyclops

-and I've looked everywhere.

-Have you checked the back garden?

-We played there this afternoon.

-We weren't in the...

-Oh, yes! I haven't looked there.

-Come on, we have five minutes.

-Come on, we have five minutes.

-

-I'll fetch a torch.

-If I had Captain Cyclops's

-emerald eye...

-..and could see into the future...

-..the boys should find that missing

-action hero right about...

-Hooray! Thanks, Sion!

-Mam, Sion helped me find

-Captain Cyclops!

-It's good to know

-we'll all sleep soundly tonight...

-..under his watchful eye.
