1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.880
<v Speaker 2>That morning.

2
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>The sky was blue like a mint candy, with a

3
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>few white clouds that looked like they were made of

4
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 1>whipped cream. Dash, Ziggy, Lily, and Sky were in the

5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>garden having fun, tossing a little ball into an old

6
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>upside down bucket basket, shouted Dash, jumping in the air.

7
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>The ball dropped into the bucket with a thud, then

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>bounced out and landed right on Ziggy's nose. Ouch, laughed Ziggy,

9
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 1>his eyes going wide. You made a basket on my nose.

10
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Every one burst out laughing. Dash was the fastest and

11
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>the silliest of the group. When he ran, he looked

12
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 1>like a lightning bolt wearing shoes, and when he fell

13
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>he always did such clumsy somersaults that the others held

14
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>their tummies from laughing. Just at that moment, from far

15
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>away away, came a familiar.

16
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Sound, chew, chew.

17
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It was Toby, the magic train, all colorful, who stopped

18
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>beside the garden, puffing happily. Hop aboard. Little friends, climb

19
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>up close beside me. I'll carry you somewhere as sweet

20
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>as can be. The air smells of pastries, of bread,

21
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>fresh and fine, and a game to warm hearts will

22
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 1>be yours and mine. The children clapped their hands and

23
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>jumped aboard. Toby whistled happily and set off the wheels

24
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 1>went chugger, chugger, chugger, and in a flash, as if

25
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>by magic, they found themselves in a big round square.

26
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>In front of them was the round square bakery with

27
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 1>a huge oven called Grandpa Oven. From the chimney came

28
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 1>smoke that smelled of warm bread. All around the square

29
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 1>there were many market stalls, but what a disaster. The

30
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>stalls were all topsy turvy. The loaves of bread were

31
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 1>mixed in with the apples. The balls of wool had

32
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 1>ended up inside the bread crates, and a basket of

33
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>apples had rolled onto a pile of wool. What a mess,

34
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>said Lily, with her hands on her hips. Nobody can

35
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>find anything here, and today there was supposed to be

36
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>the big Square festival, sighed a little voice. The children

37
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>turned around. From behind a crate popped a tiny little

38
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>man all made of sugar. He was white and shiny,

39
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 1>he smelled of vanilla and cookies, and he had a

40
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 1>smile this big hello, I'm the little sugar man, he said.

41
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Then he looked around and added in a serious tone.

42
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>What a deplorable situation? The children looked at each other

43
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 1>without understanding. Deplore what, asked Sky softly? Deplorable, explained the

44
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>sugar man. It means something really unfortunate, something that makes

45
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 1>you very sad, like this square all in a mess Ah,

46
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>they all said together. They had learned a new word.

47
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>The little sugar Man wanted to help tidy up, but

48
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>he had a tiny problem. He was always hungry. He

49
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>picked up a loaf to put it in the right

50
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>crate and chomp. He ate it in one bite. Oops,

51
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>he said, with crumbs on his mouth. It's slipped into

52
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>my mouth all by itself. He picked up an apple

53
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 1>to move it and chomp. That one disappeared too. Oops,

54
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>this one too, Dash laughed until he had tears in

55
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>his eyes. But at this rate, we'll never finish. But

56
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 1>right then, from far far away, a rumble was heard. Rumble, rumble,

57
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>What was that, asked Ziggy, looking at the sky. It's

58
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the storm, said Lily. It's coming from far away. It

59
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>rumbles like a hungry tummy. The little sugar Man went

60
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>all trembly.

61
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, oh no, if it starts to rain, I'll melt.

62
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm made of sugar and sugar with water melts like

63
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>snow in the sun. Sky took his little sugar hand.

64
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry, we'll hurry and put you somewhere safe. Meanwhile,

65
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Dash looked at the stalls, then looked at the empty crates,

66
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>then at the stalls again. Suddenly his eyes lit up.

67
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I have a sporty idea, he shouted, jumping to his feet.

68
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Every empty crate becomes a basket. We have to score

69
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 2>by throwing each thing into the right crate. The bread

70
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 2>in this crate, the apples in that one, the wool

71
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>in that other one. Whoever makes a basket scores a point.

72
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 1>That way. We tidy up while playing, and we finish

73
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>before the rain. Hooray, everyone shouted, And so the funniest

74
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 1>game in the world began. Dash grabbed a loaf, ran fast,

75
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 1>jumped and threw it in the air. The loaf flew,

76
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>spun around, and plath it scored right in the bread

77
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 1>crate basket. Everyone shouted, raising their arms like at a stadium.

78
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Lily was determined and aimed beautifully. She took an apple,

79
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 1>closed one eye and threw it straight into the fruit crate.

80
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Point Ziggy picked up a ball of wool. But when

81
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>he threw it, the thread unrolled all through the air,

82
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>and Ziggy found himself wrapped in the wool like a

83
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>gift package. Help, I've turned into a ball of wool too,

84
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 1>he laughed, while the others helped unwrap him. Sky, calm

85
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and precise picked up the little things and placed them

86
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>gently in the right crates, never missing a shot. The

87
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 1>little sugar man tried to help, but he kept causing trouble.

88
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 1>He had to protect the cookies, and to protect them,

89
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>he ate them. No one touched these cookies. They are

90
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>under my protection, he said, and chomp, chomp, chomp he

91
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 1>made them all disappear. Then he ran here and there

92
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and tripped over a crate, rolling in the flower and

93
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 1>turning all white like a giggling little ghost. Now I'm

94
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a cookie too, he laughed. Covered in flour. The square

95
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>was starting to get tidy. A crateful of bread, a

96
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>crateful of apples, a crateful of colorful balls of wool.

97
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 1>The children ran, jumped through and made basket after basket,

98
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>but the sky was getting darker and darker. Rumble, rumble,

99
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the storm was getting closer. Quick, shouted Lily. Almost there

100
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 1>the little sugar Man touched his tummy. I feel a

101
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 1>little bit sticky. I hope it doesn't rain. There was

102
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.279
<v Speaker 1>only one thing left to sort out, A big, round

103
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>loaf in the middle of the square, and the bread

104
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 1>crate was far away on the other side, behind a

105
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>pile of crates. It was the hardest shot of all Dash.

106
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>It's your turn, said Ziggy. You're the best at making baskets.

107
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Dash took the big loaf in his hands. He looked

108
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>at it. He looked at the far away crate, and

109
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>for the first time, he felt his heart beating hard.

110
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>What if I miss he murmured. It's too far, I'll

111
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 1>never make it. A first drop fell from the sky, plink,

112
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>then another plink. Quick Dash squeaked, the little sugar Man, trembling.

113
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>It's starting to rain.

114
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Dash looked at the crate and it seemed so very

115
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>far away. His legs trembled a little. But then he

116
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 1>remembered something his heart always told him when he was scared.

117
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.879
<v Speaker 1>If I believe I can do it, he whispered to himself,

118
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm already half way there, he breathed. He closed his

119
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>eyes for a moment and imagined the loaf flying straight

120
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>into the crate. He saw himself already winning, and in

121
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 1>that moment the fear disappeared. I can do it, he shouted.

122
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 1>He took a running start, fast as lightning. He leapt

123
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>into the air as high as he could and threw

124
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the loaf with all his might. The loaf flew up

125
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:14.639
<v Speaker 1>into the sky. It spun and spun, and passed over

126
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the pile of crates. Everyone held their breath. The little

127
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>sugar man covered his eyes with his little hands, and

128
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:33.159
<v Speaker 1>then plough. The loaf landed straight in the bread crate,

129
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 1>a perfect basket basket. They all burst out together, jumping

130
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>and hugging.

131
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 2>We did it.

132
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:50.279
<v Speaker 1>The square was finally all tidy, and at that very instant,

133
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 1>the storm, rumbling with a full belly, turned around and

134
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>went off the other way without dropping a single drop more.

135
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:08.679
<v Speaker 1>The sky opened up, the sun came back to shine,

136
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and above the round square appeared a big rainbow with

137
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>all the most beautiful colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue

138
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and purple. Look said sky, with her eyes shining with joy.

139
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 1>It's beautiful. The little sugar man was safe, all in

140
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 1>one piece and still giggling. I didn't melt. Thank you, friends,

141
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 1>you were amazing. Grandpa Oven, the big oven baked cakes,

142
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 1>cookies and fragrant focatchas. And in the square the big

143
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 1>festival began. Music was playing, everyone was dancing, and the

144
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>tidy stalls sparkled in the sun. And now said dash, laughing,

145
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>let's name the Little Sugarman, the official taster of the festival.

146
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Me official taster. The Sugarman opened his mouth happily. It's

147
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 1>the best job in the world. And he dove right

148
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>in with great joy, into a soft vanilla cake, coming

149
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 1>out with his face all smeared and a smile this big.

150
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Everyone laughed until their tummy's hurt. When the sun began

151
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to go down, the familiar whistle was heard again. Chew chew. Toby,

152
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the magic train had come back to get them. The

153
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 1>children said goodbye to the Little Sugarman and the festive square,

154
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:14.799
<v Speaker 1>and climbed aboard. Toby puffed gently and said, a basket

155
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>straight from the heart made you shine so bright, and

156
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.639
<v Speaker 1>believing in yourselves, set your hearts to flight. When you

157
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>think you can do it, you're half way, It's true,

158
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 1>and courage will carry the rest of you through. The

159
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:42.879
<v Speaker 1>children leaned their heads back, tired and happy as the

160
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>little train carried them home, chugga, chugga, chugger. Each of

161
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:53.960
<v Speaker 1>them was thinking the same thing, that when something seems

162
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 1>too hard, you just have to believe a little and

163
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the rod quickly becomes shorter
