00:00A long time ago,

00:28before airplanes could fly,

00:31and while inventions were still useful,

00:33the world knew many things,

00:36things that have been lost to the passage of time.

00:40However, all things forgotten can be remembered.

00:44If they were lost in time,

00:47they can be found in time.

00:53The girl had been watching the mouth of the railway tunnel

00:56for some time now.

01:03I wouldn't go in there!

01:05It's too...

01:09Dangerous.

01:13The girl just had to keep looking.

01:16She knew she was right,

01:18and all the rest of them were wrong.

01:21I'll show them.

01:26It's just gotta be here.

01:28Hmm...

01:30Ah!

01:32Whoa!

01:34Ooh!

18:31There are lots of people like me. We can make it safe.

18:36Storm clouds ahead. We'd best make for home.

18:41So soon?

18:43We've had our time.

18:51We hit something. Go get them, boys.

19:55Where am I? The dragon!

20:00Quiet, honey. You've had a nasty fall. Thank goodness your father found you.

20:06How many times have we told you to stay away from the train tracks?

20:13Now you just rest and get your strength back.

20:19What about the dragon?

20:22But what about the dragon?

20:38Lost things are difficult to find. Even if you know where to look.

20:44You have to believe things aren't lost before you can find them again.

21:03No one ever believed the girl about the dragon. They would not be convinced.

21:18All they believed in was something called a concussion.

21:30Oh, shoo, you thieving mag pirate!

21:35Thieving mag pirate? Huh?

21:40It doesn't matter. What shall we do today?

21:50Things are if they are true in our hearts.
