-This story is called...

-This story is called...

-

-..Cantre'r Gwaelod.

0:00:420:00:43

-This story is called...

0:00:430:00:44

-A long time ago, in west Wales...

0:00:440:00:46

-..there was a land

-called Cantre'r Gwaelod.

0:00:470:00:50

-The king of this land

-had a beautiful daughter.

0:00:510:00:55

-Her name was Mererid.

0:00:560:00:57

-Hello, Mererid.

0:00:580:01:00

-You're really beautiful.

0:01:000:01:02

-Cantre'r Gwaelod was beautiful, too,

-but it stood near the sea...

0:01:050:01:10

-..and sometimes, when it was stormy,

-the water covered the land.

0:01:100:01:14

-Oh, dear!

0:01:160:01:18

-It worried the king greatly.

0:01:190:01:21

-One day, he had an idea.

0:01:230:01:24

-One day, he had an idea.

-

-What was it?

0:01:240:01:26

-The king decided to build a wall...

0:01:270:01:29

-..which would stop the sea

-drowning the land.

0:01:290:01:32

-A tall, strong wall was built.

0:01:350:01:38

-That solved the problem.

0:01:400:01:42

-No, it didn't

-solve the problem completely.

0:01:430:01:46

-The sea was so strong...

0:01:460:01:48

-..it could break through the wall

-on a very stormy day.

0:01:480:01:52

-The king had another good idea.

0:01:540:01:56

-He decided to hang a bell

-above the wall.

0:01:580:02:00

-If the waves swelled,

-a solider would ring the bell...

0:02:030:02:07

-..and the people of Cantre'r Gwaelod

-would rush to help.

0:02:070:02:11

-That's how they'd stop the wall

-from collapsing.

0:02:110:02:15

-What a brilliant idea!

0:02:150:02:17

-A tower was built and a bell

-was placed on top of it.

0:02:180:02:22

-The king gave the job

-of guarding the wall...

0:02:260:02:29

-..to a soldier called Seithenyn.

0:02:300:02:32

-..to a soldier called Seithenyn.

-

-Hello, Seithenyn.

0:02:320:02:34

-The problem was

-Seithenyn was very sly.

0:02:360:02:41

-He was also very lazy.

0:02:410:02:42

-Really?

0:02:440:02:45

-Seithenyn was so sly and lazy...

0:02:460:02:48

-..he got a young, poor boy

-called Gwyn to do the work for him.

0:02:480:02:52

-That's not fair.

0:02:540:02:55

-No, but Gwyn was a friendly,

-kind little boy...

0:02:560:02:59

-..and he wanted to make sure

-the wall was properly guarded.

0:02:590:03:03

-He didn't want to see

-Cantre'r Gwaelod drowned by the sea.

0:03:030:03:08

-One day, it was

-Princess Mererid's birthday...

0:03:110:03:14

-..and everyone was invited

-to her party, at the castle.

0:03:150:03:19

-The villagers

-were excited about the party.

0:03:200:03:23

-Gwyn was really

-looking forward to it, too.

0:03:240:03:27

-He adored Mererid.

0:03:280:03:30

-Ooh, really?

0:03:300:03:32

-Yes, and Mererid adored Gwyn, too.

0:03:340:03:37

-Gwyn begged Seithenyn

-to guard the wall...

0:03:420:03:45

-..so he could go to the party.

0:03:460:03:48

-Seithenyn said no.

0:03:480:03:50

-Seithenyn said no.

-

-No? That's really unfair.

0:03:500:03:52

-Seithenyn was desperate

-to go to the party himself.

0:03:540:03:57

-He ordered Gwyn

-to guard the wall immediately.

0:03:580:04:02

-Poor Gwyn!

0:04:020:04:03

-While everyone else

-enjoyed themselves at the party...

0:04:100:04:14

-..Gwyn was all alone,

-as he guarded the wall.

0:04:140:04:18

-It was very cold outside

-but Gwyn kept himself warm...

0:04:180:04:22

-..by pretending to dance

-with Mererid.

0:04:230:04:26

-Suddenly, he heard a clap of thunder

-in the distance.

0:04:300:04:34

-Black clouds gathered in the sky and

-they were getting nearer and nearer.

0:04:340:04:39

-Gwyn heard another clap of thunder

-and he saw a flash of lightning.

0:04:390:04:44

-The wind started to howl.

0:04:450:04:47

-The rain came down.

0:04:500:04:51

-The waves grew bigger and bigger.

0:04:530:04:56

-Navy blue!

0:04:560:04:58

-That moment, a huge wave

-came crashing over the wall.

0:04:580:05:02

-It broke the wall.

0:05:030:05:04

-# What will you do, Gwyn,

-in the middle of the storm?

0:05:050:05:09

-# You're all alone and you're scared

0:05:090:05:13

-# The storm is growing.

-It gets worse and worse

0:05:140:05:17

-# What will you do,

-as the waves come crashing in?

0:05:180:05:22

-# He waited for a while,

-hoping the storm would pass

0:05:230:05:26

-# But as the wall came crashing down

-he went for the bell

0:05:270:05:31

-# Ring the bell! Ring the bell!

-Ring the bell, Gwyn!

0:05:320:05:35

-# Hurry! Ring the bell #

0:05:360:05:39

-Gwyn grabbed the rope

-and he pulled it with all his might.

0:05:390:05:44

-He had to ring the bell.

0:05:440:05:46

-Pull, Gwyn! Pull!

0:05:470:05:49

-Great! Now the villagers will come

-and help repair the wall.

0:05:510:05:55

-No, everyone was too busy

-enjoying themselves at the party.

0:05:570:06:02

-Nobody could hear the bell ringing.

0:06:030:06:06

-The waves kept crashing over

-the wall but no-one came to help.

0:06:070:06:11

-Gwyn knew he had to

-warn everyone at the party.

0:06:120:06:15

-It was too late to save the wall.

0:06:150:06:18

-Everyone had to escape

-to a safe place.

0:06:180:06:21

-He ran to the castle, through the

-raging storm and the strong wind.

0:06:210:06:26

-Run like the wind, Gwyn!

0:06:260:06:28

-He ran and ran,

-until he reached the castle.

0:06:290:06:32

-Gwyn went to tell Seithenyn

-about the wall...

0:06:390:06:42

-..but Seithenyn didn't believe him.

0:06:420:06:45

-He thought Gwyn was there

-to ruin the party.

0:06:470:06:50

-Gwyn tried to tell the people

-they had to leave...

0:06:510:06:54

-..but everyone laughed at him.

0:06:560:06:58

-They didn't believe him.

0:06:590:07:01

-He's telling the truth.

0:07:020:07:05

-One person believed him

-and that was Princess Mererid.

0:07:070:07:11

-She knew Gwyn was telling the truth.

0:07:110:07:14

-She told everyone else

-to believe him, too.

0:07:140:07:17

-Everyone ran out of the castle.

0:07:240:07:26

-Even Seithenyn ran!

0:07:270:07:28

-They ran and ran until they reached

-the top of the hill.

0:07:320:07:36

-They watched in silence...

0:07:390:07:41

-..as the wall, the castle

-and the whole village was drowned.

0:07:410:07:46

-Cantre'r Gwaelod

-disappeared beneath the water.

0:07:490:07:52

-Everyone was safe, thanks to Gwyn.

0:07:540:07:57

-Princess Mererid and the king

-thanked Gwyn for saving them.

0:07:580:08:02

-Even sly Seithenyn had to admit

-Gwyn was a real hero.

0:08:030:08:07

-Yes, Gwyn was the hero!

0:08:090:08:10

-Today, some say you can still

-hear the Cantre'r Gwaelod bell...

0:08:130:08:18

-..ringing beneath the water.

0:08:180:08:20

-Can you hear it?

0:08:220:08:24

-Yes, I can hear it!

0:08:260:08:28

-The End.

0:08:290:08:30

-# Gwyn, you are the hero.

-You're the one who helped us

0:08:310:08:35

-# As the wall came down,

-you came to rescue us

0:08:390:08:43

-# The storm grew, oh yes.

-It got bigger and bigger

0:08:470:08:51

-# Cantre'r Gwaelod is underwater

-but the bell keeps ringing

0:08:570:09:01

-# The bell keeps ringing #
