s ’ y l l i M World A wonderful journey
Milly and Billy love travelling, they have been to Germany, Spain, and even to America‌, but they are not tired of it yet and want to go on another journey.
A wonderful journey
It‘s great to travel, discover places you‘ve never seen before and make new friends.
I would like to go around the world in a sailing boat!
I would like to go to Paris, London, Vienna...
I know! Why don‘t we go to Prague to visit my friend Irina?
Excellent idea, but we need a car! Come on, I know where to find one!
A wonderful journey
Uncle Scorpion has a car which he hasn‘t used for a long time.
Go ahead, take it, I don‘t need it!
A wonderful journey
What a mess!
Don‘t worry, I‘m going to call the worker bugs!
Wow..., they are good!
They are the best mechanics in the village!
A wonderful journey
Everything‘s ready, there‘s nothing left to do but set off.
Have you packed something gluten-free to eat?
Bread and cakes for the journey and this to help me find what I need when we get there!
A wonderful journey
Come back soon! Drive safely! Take care! Bye!
See you soon!
Goodbye guys…, we will send you a postcard from Prague!
Hurrah! The adventure begins!
“Pim pim pum, piri piri pum! Pim pim pum, piri piri pa!”
Craaa! „going all around the world, here there and everywhere“
Cra, cra...
„Travelling, travelling, is so much fun tra-la-la“ What‘s going on?
A wonderful journey
The car isn‘t working properly, why not?
Hey pal…, what are you looking for?
Everything‘s fine in here!
A wonderful journey
Cra, cra, cra...
That‘s why it wasn‘t working properly… Sorry… we didn‘t mean to take your nest away with us!
Now nobody can stop them, they are going to travel around the world!
Shall we go to St. Petersburg too? Here it says there‘s going to be a big festival! First Prague, then St. Petersburg and after that who knows‌
A wonderful journey
Do you know how to say „gluten-free bread and biscuits“ in Czech?
And what if we have to look for a restaurant?
No, we don‘t need to know, I have this!
A wonderful journey
On www.glutenfreeroads.com there is all the information I need to find gluten-free food all over the world.
I‘m Wolf, pleased to meet you!
Look, Prague! Magnificent!
Milly…, I‘m here!
Irina…, it‘s great to see you!
A wonderful journey
Prague is beautiful! The old town, Charles Bridge and the castle are wonderful!
A wonderful journey
It‘s already late and it‘s time for lunch.
Only if the bread is gluten-free!
There‘s a shop down there which sells it…, let‘s go!
Where can we find that?
Let‘s go home and I‘ll make you a lovely lunch. Do you like knedlíky made from dry bread? A wonderful journey
Enjoy your meal, guys!
The knedlĂky are delicious!
Tomorrow I will bake you a cake made with raisins and almonds
A wonderful journey
I‘m sorry, but tomorrow we leave for St. Petersburg!
What a shame!
Well then… why don‘t you come with us?
Yeahhh, hurrah! We‘re going to St. Petersburg!
Wolf‘s cousin Ivan lives in St. Petersburg. I haven‘t seen him for ages…
First we‘ll go and find him, and then we‘ll all scoot over to the big festival together! A wonderful journey
It‘s a very long journey, but everyone‘s happy.
A wonderful journey
“Pim pim pum, piri piri pum! Pim pim pum, piri piri pa! Travelling, travelling, is so much fun tra-la-la going all around the world, here there and everywhere.“
On and on… Further and further north!
“Climb up the mountain, and race towards the sea”
“How wonderful for everyone who loves a journey!”
A wonderful journey
Something’s gone wrong!
Hey… what’s happening? We’ve got a puncture!
Where’s Wolf gone?
We’ll have to change the tyre!
Thank goodness we have the spare one!
A wonderful journey
It’s not difficult to change a tyre, but you need a jack to lift up the car, a spare tyre and the tools to replace it.
We don’t have a jack! What shall we do?
We need Wolf, he can lift the car…
Wolf… where are you?
We need you!
Let’s go and find him! A wonderful journey
Wolf has made a new friend.
Wolf, quick! We’ve got a flat tyre and we need your help!
Mmmm, it’s delicious…
Thanks! It’s real Russian Tea! A wonderful journey
Wait for me Billy! I’m coming!
Many hands make light work!
Heave-ho!
Now it’s fixed, they can set off on their journey once again.
There, all done!
Goodbye!
Thanks! Spasibo!
A wonderful journey
Do svidania!
No thanks, I don’t want to leave you without any!
I’m hungry!
Don’t worry, I’ll buy some more when we arrive in the city…
Shall we have a snack?
Have these Nocciolì, they’re tasty!
A wonderful journey
She has the “glutenfree roads search”…
And here is St. Petersburg!
Finally, we’ve arrived!
It’s beautiful!
My cousin lives by the river that crosses the city!
How lovely! I would like to go there! A wonderful journey
Hurrah for cousins!
The Neva is a wide navigable river, which flows into the Baltic Sea.
Hello Ivan! Look… what a beautiful building!
It’s the Hermitage Museum.
My dear Wolf… I would like to visit it!
A wonderful journey
The Hermitage is the biggest museum in the world. It’s enormous and full of works of art.
Now what shall we do?
It’s a painting by Picasso.
How lovely! I like it…
A wonderful journey
Let’s go to the big festival! It’s that way…
At the big festival there is lots to eat and lots of fun to be had. Everyone likes the gluten-free food.
Well done!
Slurp‌ What wonderful food! A wonderful journey
It’s delicious!
The festival continues, but Milly and Billy are keen to start travelling again.
Put these jumpers on! It’s cold in the north!
We could go north, what do you think?
Wolf and Irina, what are you going to do? Do you want to come with us?
Thanks!
Bye guys!
Goodbye!
No, thanks. We are going to stay here with Ivan! A wonderful journey
You should never distract the driver!
“Pim pim pum, piri piri pum! Pim pim pum, piri piri pa!.”
Come on… we’ll take you to hospital!
Look out!
Ahia…!
No! I have to go home, I’m late… A wonderful journey
The injured reindeer is called Remo and he seems keen to be on his way.
Letters for… so you are one of Father Christmas’s reindeer!
Why are you in such a hurry? I have to deliver a bag that the post reindeer lost on their way! It’s full of letters to Father Christmas… A wonderful journey
Yes, and I’m late… If I don’t deliver these letters quickly, lots of little children will have a sad Christmas with no presents!
Remo’s bag contains the wishes of many children.
Don’t worry, we’ll take you home… Where do you live?
In Lapland, In Father Christmas’s village! Hurrah… Let’s go!
A wonderful journey
How wonderful! Our friends depart for Lapland!
Father Christmas, wait for me, I’m on my way!
“Pim pim pum, piri piri pum! Pim pim pum, piri piri pa!.”
“The snow is falling, how lovely tra-la-li, it covers everything and makes everyone happy.”
“They freeze your fingers these light flakes made of snow, run, jump and laugh until the day after tomorrow.”
Tutti cantano: “Cade la neve, che bello tra-la-la copre ogni cosa e dà felicità. Son fiocchi leggeri che ghiacciano le mani corri, salta e ridi fino a posdomani. Pim pim pum, piri piri pum! Pim pim pum, piri piri pa!”
A wonderful journey
The snow is falling, and little by little everything turns pure white.
Is it straight ahead for Father Christmas’s village? No, turn right!
Be careful, there’s lots of snow there!
A wonderful journey
The snow is blocking the road and there is no way through.
Now what shall we do?
We’ll have to get the car out of the snow.
Come on… let’s push together!
I don’t know…
Oh…
…heave!
For all Father Christmas’s reindeer!
A wonderful journey
Perhaps it would better to call for help.
Leave it to me! Brrrbehhh-brrr!
I can’t believe this…
Luckily reinforcements arrive.
Do you need a hand?
Yes please!
We’re stuck!
Brrr-behhhbrrr!
A wonderful journey
The reindeer are strong and, along with our friends they solve the problem.
Come in, I’ve made warm milk!
Mother Reindeer is very welcoming.
…and warm!
Mmm, it’s lovely…
I would really like to help you!
Don’t worry Remo, we can do it! A wonderful journey
In the meantime outside the reindeer are working.
There, all done!
The snow won’t be a problem anymore!
Thanks!
And now we are ready to set off on our journey again.
Safe journey!
Thank you for everything, Mother Reindeer!
Goodbye!
A wonderful journey
Let’s hope we arrive before the elves finish preparing the presents!
Christmas is just around the corner but Lapland is still a long way away.
We will, you’ll see…
Hey…! Wait!
What’s happened?
It’s Mother Reindeer, stop!
A wonderful journey
Mother Reindeer is agitated, what on earth has happened?
Where is Lars?
I’ve not been able to find my little Lars since you left. Have you seen him?
Mother, I’m here!
No!
He’s not here!
So that’s what was keeping me warm!
A wonderful journey
Please mother, let me go with Remo, I want to pull the sleigh full of presents!
Little Lars’ dream is to learn to fly with Father Christmas’s reindeer.
Let him come with us… as soon as Christmas is over, I’ll bring him home!
Promise?
Be careful! Come back soon!
Yesss! But that’s not possible, you’re too little! A wonderful journey
Here we are in Lapland, where Father Christmas lives.
The elves prepare the presents and load them onto the sleigh...
Then, when everything is ready, Father Christmas’s reindeer pull it high into the sky.
Wow… and how do they fly?
Well I don’t know! I am a post reindeer, not a flying one!
A wonderful journey
The journey is finally over.
Finally our friends have reached their destination.
What is that light?
Hurray! I’m going to learn to fly!
How lovely! It is Father Christmas’s village!
Quiet… That’s the guard elf! A wonderful journey
The last letters with the children’s wishes have arrived at their destination, now we need to prepare the presents and send them off far away.
This is the sack that the post reindeer lost in St. Petersburg.
Thanks Remo, but it’s too late to prepare new presents, the sleigh is about to leave!
Wait for me, I’m coming too! A wonderful journey
We can help you if you like!
Together we’ll get it done in a jiffy… I’m good at wrapping presents.
And I’m good at putting on the bows.
Working together is fun.
Careful! A doll for Marianna‌
Got it!
A wonderful journey
The work is done and for Milly and Billy the time has come to return home. The elves organise a farewell party.
A case for my tablet‌ How lovely, thank you!
This is for you, Milly!
Thanks! I wonder what it is! A wonderful journey
And I wonder what’s inside this big parcel?
Gloves and a beret... Gorgeous!
So many wonderful presents. This really is a lovely party!
They are gluten-free cakes…
How tasty!
Thanks! Thank you very much Father Christmas!
So… are you ready?
One more biscuit and then let’s go! A wonderful journey
"Dah dee dee, dilly dally dah! Dah dee dee, dilly dally dum!�
The End A wonderful journey
