00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.960
One winter’s night a traveller became lost in a forest.

00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.620
He was chilled to the bone, tired, hungry, afraid.

00:00:08.620 --> 00:00:14.270
As if in answer to his prayers, out of the dark came a strange figure.

00:00:14.270 --> 00:00:15.280
‘Come with me.’

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:18.620
The creature took the traveller’s hand in his paw and led him to a hut.

00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:19.830
‘Come inside.’

00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:22.070
<v Paragraph>Gratefully the traveller stumbled in.

00:00:22.070 --> 00:00:25.460
‘Welcome. Welcome to my home.’

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:29.860
The traveller looked the creature up and down.

00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:31.980
This thing was hairy;

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:38.200
sharp ears, a tail, and the legs of a goat.

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.440
<v Paragraph>‘Thank you,’ said the man. ‘But please tell me:

00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:45.950
I have never met a creature like you before, what are you?’

00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:47.950
<v Paragraph>‘I am a satyr.

00:00:47.950 --> 00:00:49.980
What are you?’

00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:51.790
<v Paragraph>‘I am a man.’

00:00:51.790 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Paragraph>‘A man? Your kind and my kind will be friends.’

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.800
<v Paragraph>The traveller lifted his hands to his mouth then and

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:02.790
– <i>‘fwww’</i> –

00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:04.500
blew.

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:07.700
The satyr was fascinated.

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:10.230
<v Paragraph>‘Why do you do this?’

00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:14.490
<v Paragraph>‘I blow on my hands to make them warm.’

00:01:14.490 --> 00:01:16.820
<v Paragraph>The Satyr was amazed.

00:01:16.820 --> 00:01:19.160
‘Please, come and sit by my fire.’

00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:20.780
So the traveller sat.

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:24.220
<v Paragraph>Over the fire was a bubbling pot of soup.

00:01:24.220 --> 00:01:26.460
The satyr ladled out two bowls.

00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:27.990
One he kept for himself,

00:01:27.990 --> 00:01:29.830
the other he passed to the man.

00:01:29.830 --> 00:01:32.540
The man cupped the bowl in his hands,

00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:34.750
lifted it to his lips and

00:01:34.750 --> 00:01:38.160
– <i>‘fwww’</i>.

00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:42.430
<v Paragraph>The satyr: ‘Why do you do this?’

00:01:42.430 --> 00:01:44.490
<v Paragraph>‘I blow on the soup,’ said the man,

00:01:44.490 --> 00:01:46.970
‘to cool it down.’

00:01:46.970 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Paragraph>Solemnly, the satyr put down his bowl.

00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.140
‘I am sorry.

00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:58.120
I thought you and I could be friends but I am wrong.

00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.610
I will stay with the animals,

00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:08.300
for you are a creature that can blow hot and cold with the same breath.’
