I need someone special to comewith me, and today, that special

Hooray, let's go, she said.
She raced into the other roomto tell her mummy what had
happened, and her mum was veryexcited as well.
She came back in.

.
Ruff said Breakfast Dog.
Oh yes, said Super Sword, youwill do perfectly, but it's
(01:52):
better that we better be able tounderstand you.
The sword started to wavearound in circles and as it did,
magical light started to comeout of the handle.
It started to twirl around andwent straight towards Breakfast

When it hit Breakfast Dog inthe tummy.
Hello, said Breakfast Dog, youcan talk, said Astrid.
(02:13):
Oh, I can talk, said the dog.
Oh, this is so much fun.
I want to be part of this.
This is a ray.
Breakfast Dog was very, veryhappy.
Now we need to make you alittle bit more like a trusty
steed.
Super Sword waved over the topof Breakfast Dog and as the
sword waved, a saddle appearedand some reins.
(02:34):
This is amazing.
Astrid jumped on BreakfastDog's back and held on to the
reins and started to ride aroundthe kitchen like a horse.
It was very fun.
All right time to head off.
Astrid, can you take me by thehandle?
Okay, said Astrid.
She grabbed the handle of themagical sword and as she did,
(02:56):
she could feel the tinglyspecial magic inside.
Wow, she said.
This is amazing.
Now swirl me round in a circle.
So Astrid started to swirlaround and around and around and
as she swirled, a magicalportal opened up just in front
of them.
Ride through, said Supersword,and with that, breakfast dogs
(03:17):
started to gallop straightthrough the portal.
When they appeared on the otherside, they were standing in
front of a giant castle.
Whoa, said Astrid.
Look at the giant castle.
That is amazing.
I wonder who's inside.
There is somebody that we needto rescue in there, said
Supersword.
(03:38):
Really, said Astrid, really,said Supersword.
Just then they heard a veryloud noise from overhead.
What was that?
Said Astrid as she looked upand she could see a dragon
flying around the castle.
That must be who we need tosave whoever from.
(03:59):
No, said Supersword.
What do you mean?
No, said Astrid.
Yeah, what do you mean?
No, said Breakfast Dog.
With that, the dragon cameflying down and landed right
next to them.
Hello, supersword.
Hello, donald.
Donald, said Astrid.
Who's Donald?
I'm Donald, said the dragon.
(04:22):
Yes, donald is our very specialfriend.
He's come to help us get insidethe castle.

(05:27):
Hooray, said Astrid.

racing in as Astrid was sittingon his back.
As they raced inside the castle, what they saw inside was quite
ridiculous.
Um, what are all those things,said Astrid.
They are the ones that arekeeping our friend captive.
What are they, though, saidAstrid?
(05:50):
She looked closely and thethings in front of her kind of
looked like.
Are they ping pong balls?
Said Astrid.
I think so, said Donald, andone of the ping pong balls sat
up and looked at them.
How dare you break into ourcastle?
You are in big trouble,screamed the ping pong ball.
And as it screamed, all of asudden all the other ping pong
(06:10):
balls started to scream as well.
As they started to scream, theyall started to throw themselves
towards Astrid.
What do I do, said Astrid.
Use me like a bat, screamedSupersword.
Oh okay, so Astrid started toswing Supersword at the incoming
(06:32):
ping pong balls.
As one would come in, she'dsmack it out of the way, would,
scream the ping pong ball as itflew off into the distance.
Then another Astrid kepthitting all the ping pong balls
in all the different directions.
It was actually very, veryfunny.
Can I have a turn, said Donald.
Um sure, said Astrid.
Donald moved in front and asone of the ping pong balls were
(06:54):
racing towards him, he swung histail and the ping pong ball
went sailing over the castlewall.
It was actually very funny.
The more the ping pong ballscame, the more Astrid and Donald
kept swinging and hitting themin all different directions.

Breakfast Dog tried to catchone of the ping pong balls in
(07:15):
his mouth.
Let me go, screamed the littleping pong ball.
Screamed breakfast dog tryingto keep the ping pong ball in
his mouth.
But in no time at all, astridand Donald had hit all the ping

They were all on the outsidenow and Astrid and Donald were
free to start moving towards thetop of the castle.
(07:36):
As they moved around inside, itwas actually quite a funny
looking castle.
There were all kinds of veryfunny things inside Paintings of

(07:56):
They worked their way all theway to the top and when they got
there there was a room with alock on the door.
How do we get inside the room,said Astrid.

Click, click.
The door unlocked and Astridopened the door and inside was

Astrid started to go down theslide.
It was so fast and so much fun.

hole in the middle of the castle.
As she flew past, all the pingpong ball people were standing

They yelled.
And as Astrid flew out of thecastle, she flew back through
the portal that she had made andback into her own kitchen.

was very, very surprised.
Breakfast Dog was still wearinghis saddle and his reins and
