0:01:34 > 0:01:38- ..and they walk back saying, - "We're going to make a fortune!"
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- I feel that narrating - traditional tales and stories...
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- ..is a way for children to learn - about the history of their area.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- It gives them a geographical point - as to where they belong.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- They know about the world and where - Australia and America are located.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- But perhaps they don't know - the names of villages...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- ..which are five miles - down the road.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- "You wait until my mother - comes to find me."
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- It wasn't any old red otter. - It could talk.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- "It talks! We'll make a fortune!"
0:02:18 > 0:02:19- They open the sack.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- Dei peers inside - and something spits in his eye.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31- Twm looks inside and something - spits into his eye as well.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Their eyes burn.
0:02:34 > 0:02:40- Not every child is read to - by their parents or grandparents.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- In a way, I can fulfil that role.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Something jumps out of the sack.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- It's a little man, - about this height.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- He swims down the river, splish, - splash, between the reeds...
0:03:08 > 0:03:09- ..exactly like an otter.
