1. - Strawinsky, the little mole
Copy !req
2. lived in the land of Ran,
Copy !req
3. a part of the vast territory ruled
Copy !req
4. by the Great Elohim.
Copy !req
5. He attended the small forest school
Copy !req
6. of Eagleowl, Nicodemus in Owlywood
Copy !req
7. where young children learned everything
Copy !req
8. they needed to know for life.
Copy !req
9. One day on a walk after school,
Copy !req
10. Strawinsky and his three friends,
Copy !req
11. Harald the hedgehog,
Klopstock the tortoise
Copy !req
12. and Elbo the blue rabbit discovered
Copy !req
13. a small wood in the middle of
Copy !req
14. the large meadow leading
to the Valley of Elves.
Copy !req
15. - Come on, let's go that way.
Copy !req
16. - Klopstock the tortoise
Copy !req
17. shuffled his way eagerly
towards the forest,
Copy !req
18. and the others followed
him full of curiosity.
Copy !req
19. Cautiously, the four friends crept
Copy !req
20. through the tall grass.
Copy !req
21. - Look, there!
Copy !req
22. - Hidden amongst tall trees
Copy !req
23. and in the middle of an overgrown garden,
Copy !req
24. stood an old, dilapidated mansion.
Copy !req
25. With wide eyes, the four friends
Copy !req
26. stared at the strange building.
Copy !req
27. - That's spooky.
Copy !req
28. - Shall we go in?
Copy !req
29. - Better not, it might be enchanted.
Copy !req
30. - Chicken.
Copy !req
31. - I'm not a chicken, I'm a rabbit.
Copy !req
32. - Well, I think we should go inside.
Copy !req
33. - Me too.
Copy !req
34. I want to find out what's in there.
Copy !req
35. - Listen!
Copy !req
36. - I can hear someone playing music.
Copy !req
37. - Wow!
Copy !req
38. - Come on, let's find out who's inside.
Copy !req
39. - Curiously, the four squeezed
Copy !req
40. through the half opened gate
Copy !req
41. and tip toed past large plants and leaves
Copy !req
42. towards the porch of the mysterious house.
Copy !req
43. - Hey, hey, wait for me!
Copy !req
44. - Shush, be,
Copy !req
45. ouch!
Copy !req
46. - What's wrong now?
Copy !req
47. - I fell over.
Copy !req
48. - Over a little molehill?
Copy !req
49. - There's something buried.
Copy !req
50. - Let's have a look.
Copy !req
51. Help me out, Harald.
Copy !req
52. - Within a short time,
Copy !req
53. the hedgehog and mole had uncovered
Copy !req
54. the buried item.
Copy !req
55. It was a little bag of.
Copy !req
56. - Gold!
Copy !req
57. - Hooray, we're rich!
Copy !req
58. - Wait, first we have to find out
Copy !req
59. who this gold belongs to.
Copy !req
60. - I'm sure that whoever buried it here
Copy !req
61. didn't want it anymore.
Copy !req
62. - You don't believe that, do you?
Copy !req
63. Come now, let's go inside the house.
Copy !req
64. - Harald was the first
Copy !req
65. to climb the stairs towards the front door
Copy !req
66. and the others followed behind.
Copy !req
67. While Harald secretly hoped to meet an elf
Copy !req
68. inside the house,
Copy !req
69. Elbo was scared of being attacked
Copy !req
70. by a monster or wild beast.
Copy !req
71. The front door was open,
Copy !req
72. allowing the four
friends to make their way
Copy !req
73. into the sitting room
of the mysterious house.
Copy !req
74. The furniture was dusty and it smelled
Copy !req
75. of freshly brewed tea.
Copy !req
76. - Someone's making tea.
Copy !req
77. - It's all quiet again.
Copy !req
78. - Spooky.
Copy !req
79. - Come, let's look for some books.
Copy !req
80. There aren't any here,
maybe there are some
Copy !req
81. in the basement.
Copy !req
82. - What's with you and the books?
Copy !req
83. I'd rather go and find the kitchen.
Copy !req
84. - No, let's go to the basement,
Copy !req
85. and be quiet.
Copy !req
86. - I wonder who lives here.
Copy !req
87. - Maybe the big, bad wolf.
Copy !req
88. - Very funny, Klopstock,
Copy !req
89. very funny.
Copy !req
90. - It's good you're a little blue bunny
Copy !req
91. and not Little Red Riding Hood.
Copy !req
92. - Oh, just be quiet now!
Copy !req
93. - Finally they
found the steep staircase
Copy !req
94. that led to the basement
Copy !req
95. and climbed down the wooden steps.
Copy !req
96. - The books are near, I
can already smell them.
Copy !req
97. - And there they were.
Copy !req
98. In a massive basement that looked
Copy !req
99. like a huge library,
Copy !req
100. there were a vast number of books,
Copy !req
101. manuscripts, volumes, encyclopedias
Copy !req
102. and maps lying in a multitude of shelves,
Copy !req
103. tables and armchairs.
Copy !req
104. - Wow!
Copy !req
105. - There's millions of books there!
Copy !req
106. - Oh, the books are singing and dancing!
Copy !req
107. - Fascinating.
Copy !req
108. - I really think we should leave now.
Copy !req
109. - Me too!
Copy !req
110. - Did you say something, Klopstock?
Copy !req
111. - No.
Copy !req
112. - I did.
Copy !req
113. Gulbert Bibberkrall,
Copy !req
114. I am a troll as you can see.
Copy !req
115. - Taken by surprise,
Copy !req
116. the four friends turned to face the troll
Copy !req
117. who stood in the doorway
looking very annoyed.
Copy !req
118. - Hello, Mister Troll,
Copy !req
119. my name is Strawinsky.
Copy !req
120. These are my friends, Harald,
Copy !req
121. Klopstock and Elbo.
Copy !req
122. - What are you doing in my house?
Copy !req
123. - This is your house?
Copy !req
124. - Well, I do live here, don't I?
Copy !req
125. - Did you play the music?
Copy !req
126. - Music?
Copy !req
127. Hogwash, I don't play music,
Copy !req
128. I don't play at all.
Copy !req
129. Trolls don't play anything,
Copy !req
130. only bagpipe or doodlebag
Copy !req
131. or pipedoodle or bagdoodlepipe.
Copy !req
132. - But who was playing the music?
Copy !req
133. - Don't know.
Copy !req
134. Know nothing, don't really know anything.
Copy !req
135. - Please tell us, dear troll,
Copy !req
136. what kind of house is this anyway?
Copy !req
137. - You don't know that?
Copy !req
138. You don't know that not at all?
Copy !req
139. I will tell you,
Copy !req
140. I will tell you right away
Copy !req
141. without delay,
Copy !req
142. at once and immediately!
Copy !req
143. - Oh, dear, quick, let's get out of here.
Copy !req
144. - No, no,
Copy !req
145. I want to stay and browse through
Copy !req
146. all the amazing books here.
Copy !req
147. - Me too!
Copy !req
148. - Yes, yes, amazing books,
Copy !req
149. magical books, goblin and pixie books,
Copy !req
150. read, read, read!
Copy !req
151. - Oh, Sir Bibberkrall,
Copy !req
152. is this your gold bag?
Copy !req
153. - Gold bag, gold sack, yes, mine!
Copy !req
154. Not a good hidey-hole the garden,
Copy !req
155. oh, dear, oh, dear,
Copy !req
156. a bad spot, the garden.
Copy !req
157. Oh, I tried to bury.
Copy !req
158. I've received this gold from her majesty,
Copy !req
159. the Scarlet Queen.
Copy !req
160. Was told to multiply but I can't do it!
Copy !req
161. When the Scarlet Queen returns and
Copy !req
162. I won't have no money or gold
Copy !req
163. then she'll beat me.
Copy !req
164. Oh, I pound the gold, the gold pound,
Copy !req
165. I have to go and hide it,
Copy !req
166. or she'll find me and beat me, oh, dear.
Copy !req
167. - I'm sure the queen would
never do that to you,
Copy !req
168. I know her, she's very kind!
Copy !req
169. Hey, Sir Troll,
Copy !req
170. please don't run away!
Copy !req
171. - There he goes.
Copy !req
172. - He's weird.
Copy !req
173. - Definitely.
Copy !req
174. - Listen, I can hear the music again.
Copy !req
175. - Come, let's go and find it.
Copy !req
176. - No, I want to stay here.
Copy !req
177. - You can go, Strawinsky,
Copy !req
178. then you can tell us all about it,
Copy !req
179. we will stay here.
Copy !req
180. - Okay, but don't do anything stupid.
Copy !req
181. - Full of curiosity,
Copy !req
182. Strawinsky climbed up the stairs
Copy !req
183. and followed the music.
Copy !req
184. - Now the music has stopped again,
Copy !req
185. but it came from upstairs.
Copy !req
186. - Starwinsky
carried on to the first floor
Copy !req
187. and carefully peeked into each room.
Copy !req
188. Thick dust had settled
on most of the furniture
Copy !req
189. and spiders have spun cobwebs
in every available corner.
Copy !req
190. Each room was nicely decorated
Copy !req
191. but not a soul was to be seen.
Copy !req
192. In a small dining room
Copy !req
193. that smelled of freshly brewed tea,
Copy !req
194. an old cello was leaning against the sofa.
Copy !req
195. - Well, finally.
Copy !req
196. Excuse me, my dear cello,
Copy !req
197. but could you tell me who was playing
Copy !req
198. the music on you just now?
Copy !req
199. - Myself,
Copy !req
200. I am so lonely.
Copy !req
201. Once in a while I long
Copy !req
202. for the sound of my favorite melodies,
Copy !req
203. so, I play them myself
Copy !req
204. as no one else will use me.
Copy !req
205. Gently the bow will touch.
Copy !req
206. Oh, don't step on it!
Copy !req
207. It's very sensitive.
Copy !req
208. Horsehair, you understand.
Copy !req
209. Gently the bow touches my strings
Copy !req
210. and my wooden cello heart is warmed
Copy !req
211. by the music, yes.
Copy !req
212. - But who made the tea?
Copy !req
213. Did you do that?
Copy !req
214. - Oh, dearie, no!
Copy !req
215. Have you ever seen a cello
Copy !req
216. that drinks tea?
Copy !req
217. No, no,
Copy !req
218. that was the troll,
Copy !req
219. he's been staying here
for a few months now.
Copy !req
220. He was looking for a hiding place from
Copy !req
221. the Scarlet Queen
Copy !req
222. and now lives here and
occasionally comes upstairs
Copy !req
223. to drink tea with me
and the globglogabgalab.
Copy !req
224. - With who?
Copy !req
225. - With the globglogabgalab.
Copy !req
226. - With the globglogabgalab?
Copy !req
227. What, who is that?
Copy !req
228. - The globgogabgalab is very big
Copy !req
229. and looks like a big lump of dough.
Copy !req
230. He can change into any shape
Copy !req
231. or form that—
Copy !req
232. - Oh, help us, oh!
Copy !req
233. - Oh, what was that?
Copy !req
234. - My friends, I need to find them!
Copy !req
235. - What a short visit,
Copy !req
236. how sad.
Copy !req
237. - Strawinsky
rushed down the stairs
Copy !req
238. and hurried back to the basement.
Copy !req
239. His friends were gone.
Copy !req
240. - Help, what's that?
Copy !req
241. - From one of the thick books,
Copy !req
242. the globgogabgalab slowly emerged.
Copy !req
243. His massive body was like a large
Copy !req
244. lump of dough that was fed
Copy !req
245. by the thoughts and stories of the books.
Copy !req
246. The ideas and sentences of the books
Copy !req
247. were his nourishment.
Copy !req
248. Slowly, his flabby, overweight body
Copy !req
249. oozed from the book
onto the basement floor.
Copy !req
250. - Ah.
Copy !req
251. - Before
long, the globgogabgalab
Copy !req
252. caught sight of another book
Copy !req
253. and maneuvered himself in its direction
Copy !req
254. until his massive body
Copy !req
255. sat right on top of it.
Copy !req
256. And just as his fat body
had fully covered the book,
Copy !req
257. the globgogabgalab became
smaller and smaller
Copy !req
258. until he was sucked into the book
Copy !req
259. with the sound that gave him his name.
Copy !req
260. - Globgogabgalab.
Copy !req
261. - Once inside, Strawinsky
Copy !req
262. could hear the globgogabgalab
giggle and goggle.
Copy !req
263. After some time, the book opened again
Copy !req
264. and the globgogabgalab wriggled
Copy !req
265. his way out of the book
Copy !req
266. and dropped onto the floor.
Copy !req
267. - Oh, a guest.
Copy !req
268. Hello, hello, young man.
Copy !req
269. With whom do I have the
unspeakable pleasure
Copy !req
270. of meeting?
Copy !req
271. - Strawinsky, my name is Strawinsky
Copy !req
272. and I'm a little mole.
Copy !req
273. - Delightful, really delightful.
Copy !req
274. I'm the globgogabgalab,
Copy !req
275. I love books,
Copy !req
276. and this basement is
a true treasure trove.
Copy !req
277. Oh!
Copy !req
278. Splendid!
Copy !req
279. Simply delicious.
Copy !req
280. - But is it not really dangerous
Copy !req
281. to eat all those books?
Copy !req
282. - Now, may I correct you, my friend.
Copy !req
283. I do not eat books, I
consume their thoughts.
Copy !req
284. I feed on them, but I do leave the books
Copy !req
285. just as they are.
Copy !req
286. - So, you read them?
Copy !req
287. - Ah, flob along,
Copy !req
288. but I do not read, my dear Strawunsky.
Copy !req
289. - Winsky!
Copy !req
290. - Yes, yes, yes, yes, I know,
Copy !req
291. but no, I don't read.
Copy !req
292. I consume their thoughts, I live off them,
Copy !req
293. you understand?
Copy !req
294. That's more than reading,
Copy !req
295. it's fantasy, understanding,
Copy !req
296. dreaming,
Copy !req
297. oh, it feeds me,
Copy !req
298. just like yeast works
its way through the dough
Copy !req
299. to pass on its flavor,
Copy !req
300. so, I am nourished by the thoughts
Copy !req
301. of these books, yes.
Copy !req
302. - But not every book is
good for your health.
Copy !req
303. - Certainly not,
Copy !req
304. but I'm not picky,
Copy !req
305. I take whatever I can find.
Copy !req
306. But please tell me, young friend,
Copy !req
307. what are you doing here?
Copy !req
308. - I'm looking for my friends.
Copy !req
309. I just heard them shouting for help
Copy !req
310. and now, they're not here anymore.
Copy !req
311. They were in this room.
Copy !req
312. - Well, I haven't seen anybody.
Copy !req
313. - We need to search for them,
Copy !req
314. maybe somebody has kidnapped them,
Copy !req
315. the Ratking or the troll or
Copy !req
316. somebody else!
Copy !req
317. - You're not serious, are you?
Copy !req
318. You think the Ratking?
Copy !req
319. - It seems to me he's
enchanted this house.
Copy !req
320. - Twaddle waddle, my dear Strewinsky.
Copy !req
321. - Strawinsky!
Copy !req
322. - Yes, yes, yes, yes, I know.
Copy !req
323. But the Ratking,
Copy !req
324. after all, I mean, he
doesn't exist for real,
Copy !req
325. does he?
Copy !req
326. - Of course he exists.
Copy !req
327. He wants to destroy everyone.
Copy !req
328. But, there they are!
Copy !req
329. - Frozen stiff,
Copy !req
330. the three friends sat huddled in a corner,
Copy !req
331. everyone staring at a book
Copy !req
332. and unable to move.
Copy !req
333. They didn't respond when Strawinsky
Copy !req
334. pushed them and shouted in their ears.
Copy !req
335. - Hey, you, wake up!
Copy !req
336. - They were trapped.
Copy !req
337. - What else can I do?
Copy !req
338. Only the Scarlet Queen can help now.
Copy !req
339. - The Scarlet Queen?
Copy !req
340. Of all things, why the Scarlet Queen?
Copy !req
341. Do we have to?
Copy !req
342. - Well, and what now?
Copy !req
343. - They can't hear me.
Copy !req
344. The book seemed to have
put them under a spell.
Copy !req
345. It's just so important to be careful
Copy !req
346. what you read.
Copy !req
347. - But something like that has never
Copy !req
348. happened to me.
Copy !req
349. I can transform into any
shape or form I like.
Copy !req
350. And to everything I read
or fill my mind with,
Copy !req
351. look, I will show you.
Copy !req
352. - The globgogabgalab wanted
Copy !req
353. to cheer up Strawinsky,
Copy !req
354. and changed his shape into a large eagle.
Copy !req
355. - You see?
Copy !req
356. It's that easy,
Copy !req
357. and I can grow or shrink
Copy !req
358. to any size and even combine
Copy !req
359. anything I've read.
Copy !req
360. Now, watch this.
Copy !req
361. - And the globgogabgalab
Copy !req
362. transformed into a pink elephant
Copy !req
363. with eagle wings that was the size
Copy !req
364. of a large dog.
Copy !req
365. - Well, great.
Copy !req
366. I'm so sorry about my pronunciation,
Copy !req
367. but I still have to get used this trunk.
Copy !req
368. Oh, oh, oh!
Copy !req
369. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
370. This is really embarrassing.
Copy !req
371. Just a moment, please.
Copy !req
372. - with some additional effort,
Copy !req
373. the globgogabgalab eventually managed
Copy !req
374. to regain his original shape.
Copy !req
375. He then pulled his massive body
Copy !req
376. through the gaping hole
Copy !req
377. that his elephant body
had torn in the ceiling.
Copy !req
378. Strawinsky managed to grab
Copy !req
379. the globgogabgalab's tail and was pulled
Copy !req
380. into the living room.
Copy !req
381. - I see, you're also
affected by the books.
Copy !req
382. - From time to time, I—
Copy !req
383. - You really should be careful
Copy !req
384. with what you fill yourself with,
Copy !req
385. otherwise you might explode one day.
Copy !req
386. - Well, I—
Copy !req
387. - She's coming, she's coming!
Copy !req
388. We're lost, she's coming!
Copy !req
389. - A breathless
and highly aggitated
Copy !req
390. Gulbert Bibberkrall came
running into the mansion.
Copy !req
391. - Who's coming?
Copy !req
392. - You're quite beside yourself, my friend.
Copy !req
393. - By and large, I am quite beside myself,
Copy !req
394. whoa!
Copy !req
395. What's that?
Copy !req
396. The flooring, the beautiful floor boards,
Copy !req
397. the expensive, valuable flooring!
Copy !req
398. I can't believe it,
Copy !req
399. I really can't believe it!
Copy !req
400. It must be you,
Copy !req
401. it must've been you!
Copy !req
402. It must've been you again,
that globgy globgy thingy!
Copy !req
403. - Globgogabgalab.
Copy !req
404. - This is now the second time,
Copy !req
405. the second time in two weeks!
Copy !req
406. The second time in two weeks
Copy !req
407. that something like this has happened.
Copy !req
408. Last week, he turned into a dragon
Copy !req
409. and nearly burned down the house!
Copy !req
410. Outrageous, simply outrageous!
Copy !req
411. - I'm very sorry, eh,
Copy !req
412. the dragon had a cold and had to sneeze.
Copy !req
413. - Does that happen to you very often?
Copy !req
414. - Occasionally, when I'm not careful.
Copy !req
415. - Ha, when he's not careful?
Copy !req
416. When he's not careful?
Copy !req
417. When he overeats!
Copy !req
418. - Overeat?
Copy !req
419. - You just have to be careful
with what you consume.
Copy !req
420. - But Mister Troll, please tell us
Copy !req
421. what terrible thing you have seen.
Copy !req
422. Who's coming?
Copy !req
423. - Who's coming?
Copy !req
424. Ah, ah!
Copy !req
425. Ah, yes, the Scarlet Queen is coming!
Copy !req
426. Somebody must have called her!
Copy !req
427. Who did that?
Copy !req
428. She will kill us!
Copy !req
429. - Ah, if the Scarlet Queen comes
Copy !req
430. then we're all doomed!
Copy !req
431. - But why do you think that?
Copy !req
432. - The Scarlet Queen is generally acting
Copy !req
433. on behalf of the Great Elohim, isn't she?
Copy !req
434. And the Great Elohim told me through her
Copy !req
435. that I need to make a decision
Copy !req
436. about whom I want to serve,
Copy !req
437. him or the Ratking.
Copy !req
438. Well, well, I don't want to serve anyone,
Copy !req
439. I only want my books,
Copy !req
440. that's why I've been hiding here.
Copy !req
441. I've been here for two weeks now.
Copy !req
442. - And I was supposed to multiply the gold,
Copy !req
443. I didn't do it, I just hid it!
Copy !req
444. Now it's all over.
Copy !req
445. - Nothing is over.
Copy !req
446. The Scarlet Queen is very kind.
Copy !req
447. If you trust her
Copy !req
448. and tell her everything
that on your heart,
Copy !req
449. then she will help you.
Copy !req
450. She will go to the Great Elohim
Copy !req
451. and he will forgive you.
Copy !req
452. - Are you sure?
Copy !req
453. - But, of course I am,
Copy !req
454. that's why I've asked her to come here.
Copy !req
455. - Thank you, Strawinsky,
Copy !req
456. that was very kind of you.
Copy !req
457. - Your majesty, you're here!
Copy !req
458. - You've called me and here I am.
Copy !req
459. Oh, and here is my old cello.
Copy !req
460. - Uh, huh, hello.
Copy !req
461. - That's your cello, your majesty?
Copy !req
462. - It once belonged to me
Copy !req
463. and I've played on it the most beautiful
Copy !req
464. melodies I know.
Copy !req
465. But one day, the cello
didn't want me anymore.
Copy !req
466. The Ratking had convinced it
Copy !req
467. that it would be so much better
Copy !req
468. to make music by itself
and do its own thing.
Copy !req
469. It could then be its own master
Copy !req
470. and play whatever music it wanted.
Copy !req
471. And now, it's so lonely.
Copy !req
472. But what can I do for you, Strawinsky?
Copy !req
473. - My friends are
downstairs in the basement.
Copy !req
474. They're like statues
and don't move at all.
Copy !req
475. They're like frozen.
Copy !req
476. Could you please help them?
Copy !req
477. - Let's go and see.
Copy !req
478. - Strawinsky
and the Scarlet Queen
Copy !req
479. went down to the dusty basement library.
Copy !req
480. Harald, Klopstock and Elbo were still
Copy !req
481. at the same place where Strawinsky
Copy !req
482. had originally found them.
Copy !req
483. - Oh, how sad.
Copy !req
484. They really should've been
more careful with these.
Copy !req
485. They're too deeply
immersed in these books.
Copy !req
486. It wouldn't have taken much longer
Copy !req
487. and they would have turned
into globgogabgalabs.
Copy !req
488. - But what's wrong with them.
Copy !req
489. - There are books that can captivate you
Copy !req
490. that even come directly from the Ratking
Copy !req
491. and can enchant you if you're not careful.
Copy !req
492. In the same way, there are some things
Copy !req
493. in this world from which you'll be unable
Copy !req
494. to free yourself.
Copy !req
495. The globgogabgalab used to
be a beautiful forest elf
Copy !req
496. lovingly created by the Great Elohim.
Copy !req
497. But he decided to make his own way,
Copy !req
498. and in doing so, ended up discovering
Copy !req
499. some magic books.
Copy !req
500. He lost his slender form
Copy !req
501. and became what he is now,
Copy !req
502. big and fat and slow.
Copy !req
503. - How awful.
Copy !req
504. - It is.
Copy !req
505. Now, let's see what we can do.
Copy !req
506. - The Scarlet Queen began
Copy !req
507. to lovingly stroke each
of the three friends
Copy !req
508. for a long time.
Copy !req
509. Harald's spikes caused her hand to bleed,
Copy !req
510. but she didn't seem to mind,
Copy !req
511. even though one could
see that she was in pain.
Copy !req
512. Once the three friends began
to regain consciousness,
Copy !req
513. the Scarlet Queen asked them.
Copy !req
514. - Do you want to be free?
Copy !req
515. - The three nodded.
Copy !req
516. Immediately, the queen struck
Copy !req
517. each of the three books
with her open palm,
Copy !req
518. causing them to crumble into pieces.
Copy !req
519. Out of the dust, three large rats emerged.
Copy !req
520. And with ear splitting screams
and shrieks took flight.
Copy !req
521. - Oh, who could've imagined that?
Copy !req
522. - Now then, you two,
Copy !req
523. do you understand what kind of house
Copy !req
524. you're living in?
Copy !req
525. - Oh, well.
Copy !req
526. - Many thanks, lady queen.
Copy !req
527. - You have saved us!
Copy !req
528. - Thank you, that was very,
Copy !req
529. Strawinsky, look there
inside the wardrobe!
Copy !req
530. - The Ratking!
Copy !req
531. - Oh!
Copy !req
532. - That's just unfair.
Copy !req
533. You always interfere with my plans,
Copy !req
534. but just you wait,
Copy !req
535. sooner or later I will defeat
Copy !req
536. Great Elohim and crush you all.
Copy !req
537. Just you wait.
Copy !req
538. I am the true king.
Copy !req
539. - Whimpering and whining
Copy !req
540. out of fear and anger,
Copy !req
541. the Ratking disappeared.
Copy !req
542. - It was very kind of you to help us.
Copy !req
543. - Please be more careful in future.
Copy !req
544. No one needs to be afraid of me.
Copy !req
545. The Ratking is not something
Copy !req
546. to be taken lightly.
Copy !req
547. You need to decide,
Copy !req
548. he, or the Great Elohim.
Copy !req
549. Please trust the Great Elohim,
Copy !req
550. don't be like my old cello.
Copy !req
551. - I don't want to be lonely,
Copy !req
552. please forgive my
disobedience, your majesty,
Copy !req
553. most wonderful queen.
Copy !req
554. - Gulbert
Bibberkrall stood aside
Copy !req
555. and muttered to himself.
Copy !req
556. - And I, and I, Gulbert Bibberkrall,
Copy !req
557. how should I decide,
Copy !req
558. how can I decide?
Copy !req
559. Oh!
Copy !req
560. I'm sure she knows that I
Copy !req
561. haven't multiplied the
gold and she'll punish me!
Copy !req
562. On the other hand, if I don't decide
Copy !req
563. to serve her and return to her,
Copy !req
564. then I won't receive a place at
Copy !req
565. the king's castle one day.
Copy !req
566. But that's where I want to go,
Copy !req
567. that's where I've always wanted to go.
Copy !req
568. - Gulbert Bibberkrall
Copy !req
569. continued to ponder and was very troubled.
Copy !req
570. In the mean time,
Copy !req
571. everybody said their goodbyes,
Copy !req
572. and then they left the mysterious house
Copy !req
573. as it was likely that the Ratking
Copy !req
574. would return to take his revenge.
Copy !req
575. So, they all went their ways.
Copy !req
576. Gulbert Bibberkrall however, sneaked away
Copy !req
577. through the back door.
Copy !req
578. The four friends watched the Scarlet Queen
Copy !req
579. float like a red cloud
towards the horizon.
Copy !req
580. In her hand, she held the old cello
Copy !req
581. that was full of remorse and returned
Copy !req
582. to its master.
Copy !req
583. And in her flight, the Scarlet Queen
Copy !req
584. played her most beautiful melodies
Copy !req
585. to the Great Elohim.
Copy !req
586. - How good that everything worked out well
Copy !req
587. in the end.
Copy !req
588. - We could've all turned out much worse.
Copy !req
589. - It is very good that we
know the Scarlet Queen.
Copy !req
590. - Without her, we would've
been in great trouble.
Copy !req
591. - Strawinsky nodded.
Copy !req
592. And when he was lying in
his bed in the evening
Copy !req
593. and considered everything
that had happened
Copy !req
594. during that day,
Copy !req
595. he decided that from this day onwards
Copy !req
596. he would live his life entirely
Copy !req
597. for the glory of the Great Elohim,
Copy !req
598. then he would be protected from
Copy !req
599. the evil schemes of the Ratking.
Copy !req
