0:01:58 > 0:02:00- He decided to hang a bell - above the wall.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07- If the waves swelled, - a solider would ring the bell...

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- ..and the people of Cantre'r Gwaelod - would rush to help.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- That's how they'd stop the wall - from collapsing.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- What a brilliant idea!

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- The king gave the job - of guarding the wall...

0:02:30 > 0:02:32- ..to a soldier called Seithenyn.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34- ..to a soldier called Seithenyn.- - Hello, Seithenyn.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41- The problem was - Seithenyn was very sly.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42- He was also very lazy.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45- Really?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Seithenyn was so sly and lazy...

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- ..he got a young, poor boy - called Gwyn to do the work for him.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55- That's not fair.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- No, but Gwyn was a friendly, - kind little boy...

0:02:59 > 0:03:03- ..and he wanted to make sure - the wall was properly guarded.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08- He didn't want to see - Cantre'r Gwaelod drowned by the sea.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- ..so he could go to the party.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Seithenyn said no.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Seithenyn said no.- - No? That's really unfair.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Seithenyn was desperate - to go to the party himself.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- He ordered Gwyn - to guard the wall immediately.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03- Poor Gwyn!

0:04:10 > 0:04:14- While everyone else - enjoyed themselves at the party...

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- It was very cold outside - but Gwyn kept himself warm...

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- ..by pretending to dance - with Mererid.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Suddenly, he heard a clap of thunder - in the distance.
