00:02:08
Speaker 1: and just breathe normally. Now you're calm and all is quiet,
00:02:18
Speaker 1: I'll begin our story. In tonight's story, we're going to
00:02:22
Speaker 1: meet some trolls who live in a village between the mountains,
00:02:26
Speaker 1: always lit up by a big beaming rainbow. A little
00:02:30
Speaker 1: troll is curious one day, what do you find at
00:02:33
Speaker 1: the end of the rainbow. Let's join her and her
00:02:37
Speaker 1: brother on their adventure and find out. This is Miggie
00:02:42
Speaker 1: the Rainbow Troll by Luke Prendergast. Long long ago, when
00:02:54
Speaker 1: time was young and the world was inhabited by all
00:02:57
Speaker 1: kinds of fantastical creatures, the rains built their village at
00:03:01
Speaker 1: the foot of a snow tip mountain. They were called
00:03:05
Speaker 1: the rainbow trolls because of their bright, multi colored hair
00:03:09
Speaker 1: and because of the rainbow that hung in a huge
00:03:12
Speaker 1: arc above their mountain. Every spring, the mountain snow would
00:03:17
Speaker 1: melt and made the river run fast with water, and
00:03:21
Speaker 1: all the brilliant flowers would crop up from between the rocks.
00:03:26
Speaker 1: Then the trolls would pick the flowers and weave them
00:03:30
Speaker 1: through their hair forget me nots for the trolls with
00:03:34
Speaker 1: big tufts of blue hair, buttercups for those with yellow hair,
00:03:40
Speaker 1: and daisies for those whose hair grew straight up and
00:03:43
Speaker 1: bright white. The trolls made their houses out of rocks
00:03:48
Speaker 1: and wood, or else they burrowed into the side of
00:03:51
Speaker 1: the mountain to create cozy little caves. In one such
00:03:55
Speaker 1: cave lived a young troll called Miggy. She lived with
00:04:00
Speaker 1: her mother Troll, her father Troll, and her big brother Brucey.
00:04:04
Speaker 1: As far as Miggie was concerned, their cave was one
00:04:07
Speaker 1: of the cutest caves in town. They had a toasty
00:04:10
Speaker 1: log fire for the cold winter nights, dried grass laid
00:04:14
Speaker 1: out in thick piles as beds, and the walls were
00:04:18
Speaker 1: covered with beautiful war carvings. The carvings were her dad's doing.
00:04:24
Speaker 1: All day long. He could be found with his piece
00:04:26
Speaker 1: of flint etching elaborate scenes onto the walls of their
00:04:30
Speaker 1: cave or their neighbour's caves, or adding decoration to the
00:04:34
Speaker 1: stones all around the village. That's because carving was her
00:04:39
Speaker 1: dad's special talent. Every troll had a special talent, a
00:04:46
Speaker 1: skill or gift that could be put to use to
00:04:48
Speaker 1: bring benefits to the town. Her dad's was stone carving,
00:04:53
Speaker 1: but her mom's was healing. She knew more than any
00:04:58
Speaker 1: other troll about the secret medicinal properties of all the
00:05:03
Speaker 1: herbs and plants growing nearby, about which charm could help
00:05:08
Speaker 1: with a stomach ache, or which tree sat could help
00:05:12
Speaker 1: heal a bruised knee. Her brother Brucie was super strong,
00:05:17
Speaker 1: even for a troll. He might have been short, as
00:05:21
Speaker 1: trolls often were, but he had big, strong arms and legs,
00:05:26
Speaker 1: and he would carry boulders from one side of the
00:05:29
Speaker 1: village to the other, or lift up a fallen tree
00:05:33
Speaker 1: from the forest's edge. And Miggie, well, Miggie's talent was swimming.
00:05:40
Speaker 1: Sometimes she wondered if she wasn't partfish. When she dove
00:05:45
Speaker 1: from the river bank into the cool water, she felt
00:05:48
Speaker 1: like she was jumping right into her own element. Her
00:05:52
Speaker 1: hands felt like flippers, her feet like a tail, and
00:05:57
Speaker 1: she would whip and zip through the water, catching fish
00:06:01
Speaker 1: for dinner or searching the river bed for bright gems,
00:06:04
Speaker 1: sapphires and emeralds, and dark glinting onys. Sometimes Miggie would
00:06:11
Speaker 1: gather so many sparkling gemstones that she wouldn't be able
00:06:15
Speaker 1: to carry them back to the village, and her big
00:06:18
Speaker 1: brother Brucie would have to come and help her carry them.
00:06:23
Speaker 1: But before hauling the huge sack onto his back, he'd
00:06:27
Speaker 1: join her drying on the rocks in the warm sun,
00:06:30
Speaker 1: and they would look up at the mountain and the
00:06:33
Speaker 1: rainbow that hung over its peak and ended somewhere far
00:06:36
Speaker 1: off in the distance. Then they would play a silly game.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: What on Earth could be at the end of the rainbow?
00:06:48
Speaker 1: Brucie would ask, and Miggie would reply, a giant with
00:06:53
Speaker 1: a giant teapot waiting to make you some giant tea.
00:07:00
Speaker 1: Or a friendly dinosaur, Brucie would add, who'll introduce you
00:07:06
Speaker 1: to all her friends, Or a magical princess who'll waive
00:07:13
Speaker 1: her wonder and give you wings. Maggie and Brucie played
00:07:18
Speaker 1: this game as a joke, but the truth was that
00:07:21
Speaker 1: there was no conversation more popular among the rainbow trolls
00:07:26
Speaker 1: than what might be discovered at the end of the rainbow.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: There were many ancient myths on the subject, and every
00:07:34
Speaker 1: troll had an opinion. Their dad said that at the
00:07:38
Speaker 1: end of the rainbow you'd find piles of gold and silver,
00:07:42
Speaker 1: heaps of rubies and sapphires, more riches than you could
00:07:47
Speaker 1: ever imagine. But their mum would laugh or shake her head,
00:07:52
Speaker 1: or sometimes just sigh and say that was a load
00:07:56
Speaker 1: of old nonsense. At the end of the rainbow, she said,
00:08:01
Speaker 1: a marvelous tree grew up high into the sky, whose
00:08:05
Speaker 1: fruit could cure any illness or any injury with just
00:08:09
Speaker 1: one bite. Then she'd raise her eyebrows and give a
00:08:13
Speaker 1: firm nod as if to say that was that. Some
00:08:19
Speaker 1: trolls said that you'd find a silver unicorn who would
00:08:23
Speaker 1: grant you six wishes. Others said you'd find a sacred
00:08:27
Speaker 1: stone that would let you travel through time. Others still
00:08:32
Speaker 1: said that the rainbow went straight down through a hole
00:08:35
Speaker 1: in the ground, and if you jumped down through the hole,
00:08:38
Speaker 1: you'd find yourself in a topsy turvy world where trees
00:08:42
Speaker 1: grew from the sky and rain fell upwards, and rainbows
00:08:46
Speaker 1: weren't multi colored but striped in black and white, where
00:08:51
Speaker 1: the truth was no one really knew what was at
00:08:54
Speaker 1: the end of the rainbow because no one had ever
00:08:57
Speaker 1: been there. Why do you think no one has ever
00:09:02
Speaker 1: been to find out what's at the end of the rainbow?
00:09:06
Speaker 1: Maggie asked her brother Brucie on an afternoon down by
00:09:09
Speaker 1: the river. She had laid her big plume of bright
00:09:12
Speaker 1: purple hair against the rock to dry. I don't know,
00:09:18
Speaker 1: Brucie replied. Trolls have tried, I think, long long ago,
00:09:23
Speaker 1: but no one has ever found it. Miggie stared up
00:09:28
Speaker 1: at the bright blue sky and the rainbow like strokes
00:09:32
Speaker 1: of paint brushed straight on to it. Then quite suddenly
00:09:37
Speaker 1: she had an idea. She sat bolt upright Brucie. She said,
00:09:44
Speaker 1: we should go and find out what's actually at the
00:09:47
Speaker 1: end of the rainbow. Brucie stared at her a little gormously. Uh,
00:09:54
Speaker 1: he said, what do you mean? I mean? Miggie on
00:10:00
Speaker 1: getting more and more carried away with the idea that
00:10:02
Speaker 1: had landed in her head. We're always talking about what's
00:10:07
Speaker 1: at the end of the rainbow. Everyone in the village
00:10:11
Speaker 1: has a story. There are so many myths and legends
00:10:15
Speaker 1: and tall tales, but no one actually tries to find
00:10:19
Speaker 1: out anymore. Brucie was looking at her, and as his
00:10:25
Speaker 1: eyes grew a bit wider, she knew he understood what
00:10:29
Speaker 1: she was saying. Don't you think, Brucie, She said, you
00:10:35
Speaker 1: and me we can go and find out what's at
00:10:38
Speaker 1: the end of the rainbow and settle the question once
00:10:41
Speaker 1: and for all. When they got home and told their
00:10:45
Speaker 1: dad their plan, he broke into a big, sunny smile.
00:10:51
Speaker 1: What an excellent idea, he said. How brave you both are.
00:10:59
Speaker 1: So brave, said their mum. She had come and stood
00:11:02
Speaker 1: next to their father and put a hand on his shoulder.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: They both looked down at their children, their faces lit
00:11:10
Speaker 1: up by pride and joy. You'll be safe going together,
00:11:15
Speaker 1: their mum went on, you're both smart, and Brucie, you
00:11:19
Speaker 1: are very strong. I think it's an excellent idea too,
00:11:24
Speaker 1: a real adventure. Their mum packed up a knapsack laden
00:11:30
Speaker 1: with all kinds of sustenance for the journey, fruit and nuts,
00:11:35
Speaker 1: and some morsels of tasty fish wrapped up in a cloth.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Miggie and Brucie packed their sunglasses in case it was sunny,
00:11:43
Speaker 1: an annaax in case it rained and poured on their
00:11:47
Speaker 1: walking boots and tied them up tight, And when they
00:11:51
Speaker 1: were all prepared to go, they stood by the cave
00:11:54
Speaker 1: door and gave both of their parents a big, squeezy hug.
00:12:00
Speaker 1: Good luck, said their mum. Be safe, said their dad.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: And then Maggie and Brucie, with their knapsacks on their backs,
00:12:10
Speaker 1: set off in the direction of the Rainbow's end. They
00:12:15
Speaker 1: walked through the village, past the ceremonial statues of the founders,
00:12:21
Speaker 1: past the caves and little huts of their fellow troll neighbors,
00:12:25
Speaker 1: and out onto the grasslands that unfolded beneath the mountain.
00:12:31
Speaker 1: They strode along the grass, often looking up to the
00:12:34
Speaker 1: sky to make sure they were walking in the right direction.
00:12:39
Speaker 1: At last, the grass grew thin and they reached the
00:12:43
Speaker 1: edge of a thick and dark forest. This was the
00:12:47
Speaker 1: furthest either of them had ever been from the Rainbow Village.
00:12:53
Speaker 1: Maggie gulped, then put on a brave face and smiled
00:12:57
Speaker 1: at her brother. She said. Brucey gritted his teeth and nodded,
00:13:06
Speaker 1: and together Miggie and Brucey stepped into the forest. He
00:13:14
Speaker 1: was nowhere near as scary as they'd imagined. In fact,
00:13:18
Speaker 1: it was rather beautiful in there, cool and shady, with
00:13:23
Speaker 1: thin shafts of sunlight coming through from their gaps in
00:13:26
Speaker 1: the leaves above. Twigs crunched under foot, and birds and
00:13:31
Speaker 1: insects flitted all over the forest floor. In fact, as
00:13:37
Speaker 1: they went along, Miggie and Brucie were having such fun
00:13:41
Speaker 1: that they picked up sticks and fought with them, running
00:13:44
Speaker 1: through the trees and hiding behind trunks to jump out
00:13:48
Speaker 1: and surprise each other. So puffed up were they by
00:13:53
Speaker 1: their sense of adventure that they didn't notice the forest
00:13:57
Speaker 1: getting denser and denser, until at last, looking up at
00:14:02
Speaker 1: the canopy, Miggie realized she couldn't see the sky. Oh no,
00:14:09
Speaker 1: she said, looking all around above her. I can't see
00:14:13
Speaker 1: the sky. That's okay, said Brucey. You're not walking on
00:14:20
Speaker 1: the sky. You've only got to see the ground. No,
00:14:25
Speaker 1: Brucie said Miggie, you don't understand. If we can't see
00:14:29
Speaker 1: the sky, we can't see the rainbow. So how are
00:14:33
Speaker 1: we going to know if we're going the right way? Oh,
00:14:39
Speaker 1: said Brucey, looking upwards. You're right. If we don't know
00:14:44
Speaker 1: where the rainbow's end is, we might get lost. Now
00:14:51
Speaker 1: they walked through the forest more carefully, no longer looking ahead,
00:14:55
Speaker 1: but looking up into the canopy to see if they
00:14:58
Speaker 1: could catch a glimpse of the rain But the trees
00:15:03
Speaker 1: were so thick that no more than the narrowest chink
00:15:06
Speaker 1: of blue light could be seen in any place. They
00:15:11
Speaker 1: came to a place where there was a wider gap,
00:15:13
Speaker 1: through which they could see a square of blue sky
00:15:17
Speaker 1: with a small puff of fluffy white cloud in one corner.
00:15:21
Speaker 1: But they couldn't see the rainbow at all. Oh, dear,
00:15:26
Speaker 1: sighed Brucie. Where could it be? Asked Miggie, more to
00:15:32
Speaker 1: herself than to anyone else. But much to her surprise,
00:15:36
Speaker 1: a tiny voice replied, what are you looking for? The
00:15:41
Speaker 1: two trolls started up. They looked about them for the voice,
00:15:45
Speaker 1: and saw a little bird in the tree. It had
00:15:49
Speaker 1: black feathers with a bright gold plume on the top
00:15:52
Speaker 1: of its head, like a crown. Hello, said Miggie tentatively,
00:15:59
Speaker 1: was you? Of course it was me, said the bird.
00:16:06
Speaker 1: Why is that a surprise, oh, said Miggie, still taking aback.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: I've just never heard a bird talk, well, said the bird.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: Have you ever cared to ask? Maggie thought about this
00:16:21
Speaker 1: for a few seconds, and realized the bird was right.
00:16:25
Speaker 1: She'd never asked a bird anything before, but now she
00:16:29
Speaker 1: took her chance. We're trying to see where the rainbow ends,
00:16:35
Speaker 1: she explained, but we can't see through the trees. Could
00:16:40
Speaker 1: you fly up there and have a look for us, please?
00:16:44
Speaker 1: The bird cocked his little head and told them that
00:16:48
Speaker 1: he certainly could, but that he would need something in return.
00:16:53
Speaker 1: He was hungry, and he couldn't find any nuts or
00:16:57
Speaker 1: seeds in the whole forest. If we have nuts, Maggie cried, merrily,
00:17:04
Speaker 1: fishing the parcel with their mom had packed for them
00:17:07
Speaker 1: out of their knapsack. Maggie shared a handful of nuts
00:17:11
Speaker 1: with the bird, who gulped them down happily. When he
00:17:17
Speaker 1: was finished eating, he gave a twitter of satisfaction and said,
00:17:22
Speaker 1: thank you trolls. Now, I'll go and see where that
00:17:26
Speaker 1: rainbow is you're looking for. The bird flew up, oh ah,
00:17:33
Speaker 1: and disappeared out into the blue square of sky. Miggie
00:17:39
Speaker 1: and Bruce waited, fidgety with anticipation until the bird reappeared
00:17:45
Speaker 1: and flew down to meet them. It's that way, he said.
00:17:51
Speaker 1: He pointed in a direction through the forest and explained
00:17:54
Speaker 1: that if they went straight that way, they would eventually
00:17:58
Speaker 1: come to the edge of the forest and a path
00:18:01
Speaker 1: which would take them through some craggy rocks until the
00:18:04
Speaker 1: end of the rainbow, at least as far as I
00:18:08
Speaker 1: can see, the bird said, ruffling his feathers. Maggie and
00:18:13
Speaker 1: Brucey thanked the bird and set off in the way
00:18:16
Speaker 1: it had told them. Soon enough, to their great delight,
00:18:21
Speaker 1: the trees began to thin out, and they found themselves
00:18:25
Speaker 1: at the other edge of the forest. In front of them,
00:18:29
Speaker 1: a winding path disappeared into a tumble of boulders and
00:18:33
Speaker 1: fissured rocks. Hooray, cried Maggie. Nice one, said Brucey, and
00:18:42
Speaker 1: off they went down the path. They were both excited now.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: The rainbow that went over their heads hung low in
00:18:50
Speaker 1: the sky, so that it almost felt that if they jumped,
00:18:54
Speaker 1: they'd be able to reach it. They both knew that
00:18:58
Speaker 1: this meant that they must be reaching near the rainbow's end.
00:19:02
Speaker 1: Soon enough, they'd find out what was at the end
00:19:05
Speaker 1: of it. But as they rounded a corner, they're fizzing
00:19:11
Speaker 1: bubbles of optimism, which had been bouncing merrily around their bodies,
00:19:15
Speaker 1: froze there in front of them, blocking the path. Was
00:19:21
Speaker 1: the most gigantic boulder they'd ever seen. It was so
00:19:25
Speaker 1: big that it had wedged itself between the rock faces,
00:19:29
Speaker 1: and there was no way to go around either side.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: Oh no, said Miggy, What on earth are we going
00:19:40
Speaker 1: to do? We need to get through this path in
00:19:44
Speaker 1: order to get to the rainbow's end. But BRUCEI had
00:19:49
Speaker 1: stepped up to the boulder and was giving it a
00:19:52
Speaker 1: look over. Never fear, Miggi, he said, I'm not strong
00:19:59
Speaker 1: for nothing. I can shift this boulder in no time.
00:20:04
Speaker 1: Just you wait and see. Miggie raised her bright purple eyebrows.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: She'd never seen her brother lift anything quite as big
00:20:13
Speaker 1: as this boulder, but she had absolute faith in his
00:20:17
Speaker 1: special talent, his exceptional strength, so she folded her arms
00:20:22
Speaker 1: and watched to see what he would do next. Brucie
00:20:27
Speaker 1: was inspecting the bottom of the boulder, working out exactly
00:20:32
Speaker 1: where it was jammed. Then he gave a brisk nod,
00:20:37
Speaker 1: turned to his sister and said, ready, Miggy, watch this.
00:20:43
Speaker 1: Brucey tucked his big hands beneath the boulder, crouched low,
00:20:48
Speaker 1: and took a deep breath in. Then, with a quick heave,
00:20:53
Speaker 1: he plucked the boulder up in his hands, just as
00:20:56
Speaker 1: if it had been as light as a feather. Ayah,
00:21:01
Speaker 1: he cried and pushed the boulder off the side of
00:21:04
Speaker 1: the path, where it landed out of the way in
00:21:07
Speaker 1: a big cloud of dust. Hurrah, Mickey cried. Prucey had
00:21:15
Speaker 1: done it. And then the two trolls, brother and sister,
00:21:21
Speaker 1: stood on the path, looking with astonished eyes at the
00:21:25
Speaker 1: sight before them. Wow, they both whispered at exactly the
00:21:32
Speaker 1: same time they had found it, the end of the rainbow.
00:21:38
Speaker 1: It curved down from the sky in all its multi
00:21:42
Speaker 1: colored glory, and where it touched the earth, a huge
00:21:47
Speaker 1: pool had formed. The water not blue like normal water,
00:21:52
Speaker 1: but a perfect swirl of all the colors of the rainbow.
00:21:58
Speaker 1: And what's more, the pool was filled with all kinds
00:22:02
Speaker 1: of amazing creatures, all splashing and paddling about. There were
00:22:07
Speaker 1: unicorns and flying lions, and little fairies, and a giant
00:22:13
Speaker 1: wearing bright pink swimming trunks who made the most ginormous
00:22:17
Speaker 1: splash of red and blue and green when he dove in.
00:22:22
Speaker 1: I can't believe it, Micky murmured, when she'd finally found
00:22:27
Speaker 1: her tongue at the end of the rainbow. It's a
00:22:34
Speaker 1: swimming pool. She clapped her hands against her mouth. It
00:22:40
Speaker 1: was as though the end of the rainbow had been
00:22:43
Speaker 1: made especially for her. Let's go, said Brucey, and so
00:22:51
Speaker 1: brother and sister ran up to the multi colored pool
00:22:54
Speaker 1: and jumped right in. It was just like water, but
00:22:59
Speaker 1: warm and technicolored. It was the best swim Miggie had
00:23:04
Speaker 1: ever had. She swam down deep underwater and shot up
00:23:10
Speaker 1: through the surface so that all the creatures around her
00:23:13
Speaker 1: clapped and cheered. While she was treading water, a dolphin
00:23:19
Speaker 1: appeared in front of her, wearing a rubber ring around
00:23:22
Speaker 1: his stomach. Nice swimming moves, the dolphin said, but did
00:23:28
Speaker 1: you know you can swim up the rainbow too, Up
00:23:33
Speaker 1: the rainbow, Miggy repeated, glancing up at the sky. Oh yeah,
00:23:39
Speaker 1: the dolphin said, look, follow me, and with a swish
00:23:45
Speaker 1: of his tail, the dolphin was off swimming towards the
00:23:49
Speaker 1: point where the rainbow touched the water, and then he
00:23:52
Speaker 1: was swimming upwards, propelling himself up through the rainbow as
00:23:58
Speaker 1: though it were a river in the sky. Miggie followed.
00:24:02
Speaker 1: She swam at the rainbow, and then, as if by magic,
00:24:07
Speaker 1: she was no longer swimming through the pool. But up
00:24:10
Speaker 1: into the air. Oee, she cried. Pretty cool, isn't it,
00:24:18
Speaker 1: the dolphin called over his shoulder. They swam and swam
00:24:24
Speaker 1: ever higher into the sky until they reached the rainbow's crest,
00:24:30
Speaker 1: and from there Meggie and the dolphin looked out over
00:24:34
Speaker 1: the whole wide world, the forest and the fields, the
00:24:39
Speaker 1: mountains and the valleys. It was the most marvelous sight
00:24:44
Speaker 1: in the world. There's my village, Miggy said, pointing down,
00:24:52
Speaker 1: and that's where I live, the dolphin said, pointing over
00:24:56
Speaker 1: at the sea. Meggie and Brucie stayed playing in the
00:25:02
Speaker 1: rainbow pool all afternoon, making friends with the dolphin and
00:25:07
Speaker 1: all of the other creatures there. But as the sun
00:25:11
Speaker 1: began to set, they realized they better head home, so
00:25:15
Speaker 1: they said goodbye to their new friends and set off
00:25:19
Speaker 1: back through the forest. What an amazing day, said Miggy.
00:25:28
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought that at the end of
00:25:32
Speaker 1: the rainbow there'd be a big pool and that you'd
00:25:37
Speaker 1: be able to swim all the way out to the top.
00:25:43
Speaker 1: I never would have. Brucie agreed. Then he gave a
00:25:47
Speaker 1: big yawn. Wow, he said, all that walking and swimming
00:25:56
Speaker 1: has made me pretty tired. And move that giant boulder.
00:26:02
Speaker 1: Miggy added, that was pretty awesome. And then maybe because
00:26:08
Speaker 1: yawns are strange, infectious things, Miggy had a big yawn too,
00:26:14
Speaker 1: and stretched her arms out above her. Oh, I'm really
00:26:23
Speaker 1: tired as well, she said. When they broke out at
00:26:28
Speaker 1: the other end of the forest, it was twilight before them.
00:26:33
Speaker 1: They could see the fires of the Rainbow Village flickering
00:26:37
Speaker 1: in the mouths of the caves. Their mom and dad
00:26:41
Speaker 1: would be waiting for them, ready to hear what they
00:26:44
Speaker 1: had discovered at the end of the rainbow. I can't
00:26:48
Speaker 1: wait to tell them, Brucie said me. Neither said Miggy,
00:26:56
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to go back two. Rucie smiled.
00:27:04
Speaker 1: We should go swimming in a rainbow pool every week,
00:27:08
Speaker 1: he said. Miggie returned his smile. That was a very
00:27:14
Speaker 1: nice idea, indeed. And so the two tired trolls who
00:27:20
Speaker 1: had been on such a long adventure walked back through
00:27:24
Speaker 1: the Rainbow village and towards their family cave, where there
00:27:30
Speaker 1: was a hot meal waiting for them and soft beds
00:27:34
Speaker 1: of dried grass and two parents who were looking forward
00:27:40
Speaker 1: so much to hearing the tale of what exactly they'd
00:27:45
Speaker 1: found at the end of the rainbow, and white sid
