1
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.480
Well, Molio, have all the others taken their stations?

2
00:00:11.660 --> 00:00:14.260
Oh, you bet, Uncle Mistletoe, they sure have.

3
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:16.600
But I don't know why you won't let us fight back.

4
00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:19.220
There's only one of him and four of us.

5
00:00:19.540 --> 00:00:21.140
All the more reason, Molio.

6
00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.700
You should love your enemy always, especially when he is weaker than you.

7
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:27.600
But he's been bombarding us with his cannon.

8
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.220
That's only because he doesn't understand we're his friends.

9
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:32.400
Uncle Mistletoe!

10
00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:33.340
Run! Run!

11
00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:34.580
Hey, you're in danger!

12
00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:36.060
What do you mean, Olio?

13
00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:37.480
There, Uncle Mistletoe!

14
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.720
Uncle Dove, help! Help! Help! Help!

15
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:40.960
Look, there!

16
00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:55.880
Surrender, Polly Dove, Uncle Mistletoe.

17
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:57.420
Or I'll fire.

18
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.680
I can't surrender, Polly Dove, because she's not my prisoner.

19
00:01:02.260 --> 00:01:05.400
If you wish to come as a friend, you may take her with you.

20
00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:08.060
They're trying to trick me.

21
00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:10.880
Surrender, Polly Dove, or I'll fire.

22
00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:13.620
I told you she is not our prisoner.

23
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:15.300
Don't you understand?

24
00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:16.780
We're your friends.

25
00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:20.940
Say, you'd better be careful with that cannon, or you may hurt someone.

26
00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:22.100
Stop.

27
00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:25.420
One step closer and I'll fire.

28
00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:28.280
Can't you understand, my good fellow?

29
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:29.880
I am your friend.

30
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.320
Why, of course you do, because you didn't shoot your cannon at me.

31
00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:40.060
Well, anyone brave enough to walk in front of my cannon against my command

32
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:42.800
is a brave soldier and must be a friend.

33
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.480
Oh, Private Pepper, I'm so glad you didn't shoot.

34
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:51.260
Uncle Mistletoe and Aunt Holly and everyone, they're all our friends.

35
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:53.080
We were wrong.

36
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:55.960
Yes, she's right, Private.

37
00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:59.180
Now, what ever made you think we were your enemies?

38
00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:01.680
Because they told us you were.

39
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.140
They? Who were they?

40
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:07.960
Well, I don't really know, sir.

41
00:02:08.140 --> 00:02:09.820
I just heard them say so.

42
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.040
It was in that valley and...

43
00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:13.860
Perhaps you'd better begin at the beginning.

44
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:17.100
Where are you from? Tell us the whole story.

45
00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:19.560
All right, I will.

46
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.440
Then I can tell you this.

47
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.700
Polly and I need plenty of help.

48
00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:24.640
Yes.

49
00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:26.340
You've come to the right place.

50
00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:28.240
Now tell me everything.

51
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.620
Well, my name is Private Pepper

52
00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:36.100
and I belong to the Royal Stanton Guards.

53
00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:38.140
That means ten soldiers.

54
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.040
It all started one day when my regiment was out in the meadow on manoeuvres.

55
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.240
My regiment belonged to a little boy, but he didn't take very good care of us.

56
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.100
One day we were out in the meadow on manoeuvres.

57
00:02:55.760 --> 00:02:58.200
The regiment had pitched their tents for the night

58
00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:02.180
and I was assigned to guard duty, which was silly really

59
00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:04.720
because there was nothing more there to harm us.

60
00:03:05.380 --> 00:03:07.580
Our regiment was friendly to everybody.

61
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:12.380
Just the same, I marched up and down for an hour.

62
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.660
And then because it was late and because we had been marching all day,

63
00:03:16.660 --> 00:03:18.840
I began to get very sleepy.

64
00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:25.380
I was trying hard to keep awake, but I just got more sleepy.

65
00:03:26.380 --> 00:03:30.800
But it's strictly against the rules for any soldier to fall asleep on guard duty.

66
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.220
And I was having an awful time trying to keep awake.

67
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.020
After an hour or so, I looked about, saw that everyone was asleep

68
00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:43.040
and I said to myself, Private Pepper,

69
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.740
no one will know if you'll take a little nap.

70
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.060
Because I knew there was no real danger, I curled up and went to sleep.

71
00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:57.660
And the worst part was that I slept too long.

72
00:03:58.580 --> 00:04:03.800
Instead of taking a nap for just an hour as I had planned, I slept much longer.

73
00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:10.340
When I finally did wake up, I discovered to my horror that it was broad daylight.

74
00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:14.560
What was worse, the regiment's tents were all gone.

75
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.700
They had marched off at dawn and forgotten all about me.

76
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.480
I was deserted.

77
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.100
I looked all about, but there was no sign of where they had gone.

78
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.220
I was so worried and lonely that I could almost have cried.

79
00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:33.920
But at that moment, a startling thing happened.

80
00:04:34.700 --> 00:04:38.960
Something fell out of the sky and landed beside me in the tall grass.

81
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:44.200
I leaped up on guard at once because it might have been an enemy.

82
00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:48.980
But to my surprise, it was only a little doll.

83
00:04:49.580 --> 00:04:54.100
I said, here, what's your name and what do you want?

84
00:04:54.500 --> 00:05:00.800
And she said, I'm Polly Doll and I've just been lost.

85
00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:07.400
And that's how the two of you met.

86
00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:12.320
Dear me, but how did it happen that you dropped out of the sky like that, Polly?

87
00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:16.020
Oh, I didn't really drop out of the sky, Uncle Mistletoe.

88
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.940
You see, my mistress used to be a little girl eight years old.

89
00:05:21.260 --> 00:05:25.960
And she loved me a lot until she got a newer and prettier doll.

90
00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:29.600
And then she paid no attention to me.

91
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.240
Finally, one day she just dropped me in the meadow while she was playing

92
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.420
and never bothered to pick me up again.

93
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:42.080
My goodness, she should take better care of her toys than that.

94
00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:45.660
Well, you can imagine my surprise.

95
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.600
But after Polly had explained everything to me, she said...

96
00:05:51.220 --> 00:05:54.880
Well, we both seem to be in trouble, Private Pepper.

97
00:05:55.640 --> 00:05:56.780
We're lost.

98
00:05:56.780 --> 00:06:00.500
Well, I may be lost, but not for long.

99
00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:03.360
I'm going to find my way back to my regiment.

100
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.120
But what about me? I can't go back.

101
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:12.660
My mistress... My mistress doesn't want me.

102
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:14.680
There, there, now.

103
00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:19.720
You come along with me and I'll see if we can find someone who does.

104
00:06:20.260 --> 00:06:24.400
Now, don't cry. Be brave and we'll start at once.

105
00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:31.320
But when we started out, we suddenly realized that we didn't have any idea of where we were

106
00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:34.220
or how we could even begin to find my regiment.

107
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:37.140
I felt very foolish and upset.

108
00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:42.800
Oh, Private Pepper, we can't possibly get out of here by ourselves.

109
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.600
We must have help from someone.

110
00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:50.440
Help? But from whom? There isn't a soul around here but us.

111
00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:55.360
Oh, wait. I see someone. It's a squirrel.

112
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.860
Aha! Maybe he can help. Here you.

113
00:07:00.460 --> 00:07:02.620
Forward march! Front and center!

114
00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:04.700
Hey, hey, don't run away.

115
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.160
Oh, Private Pepper, that's no way to talk to a squirrel.

116
00:07:08.700 --> 00:07:09.600
May I try?

117
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:10.540
All right.

118
00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:13.520
Come, nice squirrel. Come on.

119
00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:17.480
We won't hurt you. We just want to talk.

120
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:23.860
Oh, that's it. Oh, nice squirrel. Nice girl.

121
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:29.540
Tell us, do you know anyone who can help us out of this forest? Do you?

122
00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:35.220
Oh, wonderful. Who?

123
00:07:38.020 --> 00:07:39.540
Ah, what did he say?

124
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.800
He said there's one person around here who can help us and that's Uncle Mistletoe.

125
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.160
Oh, Uncle Mistletoe? Who's he?

126
00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:52.460
Well, I don't know, but this nice squirrel likes him very much.

127
00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:54.940
He says he lives off to the north.

128
00:07:55.220 --> 00:07:56.700
Is it very far?

129
00:07:57.320 --> 00:08:00.520
Mr. Squirrel, how far is it?

130
00:08:02.580 --> 00:08:08.980
Oh, he says not very far, but we should be careful not to pass through the valley ahead.

131
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.100
We should go around it.

132
00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:15.660
It's very dangerous, he says, because the rumourous dragon lives there.

133
00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:19.860
Oh, poor. Who's afraid of a dragon? I'm not.

134
00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:23.920
We'll go straight through the valley and visit this Uncle Mistletoe.

135
00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:27.000
Goodbye, friend. Thanks for your advice.

136
00:08:27.340 --> 00:08:32.540
Goodbye, little fellow, and thank you too. Bye-bye.

137
00:08:32.540 --> 00:08:32.540


138
00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:47.420
And so we started off to find you, Uncle Mistletoe, and because I thought I was very brave,

139
00:08:48.020 --> 00:08:54.360
we headed straight through the mysterious valley known to be the home of the rumourous dragon.

140
00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:56.640
And then it happened.

141
00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:13.700
And then it happened.

142
00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:15.900
What happened, Private Pepper?

143
00:09:16.520 --> 00:09:17.580
The voices.

144
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:19.500
And the signposts.

145
00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.720
What did they say?

146
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:23.120
Beware of him.

147
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.300
And the signposts said, This way to Uncle Mistletoe.

148
00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:29.520
What else could we believe?

149
00:09:30.020 --> 00:09:32.520
We thought it meant beware of you, Uncle Mistletoe.

150
00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:32.520


151
00:09:33.520 --> 00:09:36.480
Ha ha ha. You poor children.

152
00:09:37.060 --> 00:09:42.460
You must remember never to believe anything you hear in the valley of the rumourous dragon.

153
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.720
Now tell me, where is it you are going?

154
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.660
Oh, I'm on my way to join my regiment again.

155
00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:52.880
I wish to serve my country as a soldier should.

156
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.460
Fine. What about you, Polly Doll?

157
00:09:56.460 --> 00:10:04.880
Well, Uncle Mistletoe, my wish is to find a little girl who will take care of me and love me as her very own.

158
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.240
Well, bless you both.

159
00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:12.340
If you will only let me, I'd like to help you find your way and have your wishes.

160
00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:14.540
And I know just the place.

161
00:10:15.020 --> 00:10:19.620
The place that tells you how to win your wishes and find happiness.
