DO THAT? HMM... [HUMMING] HMM... I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE OUT CATCHING RABBITS
FOR OUR DINNER. RABBITS?
THAT'S ALL WE EAT. WELL, IT'S BETTER
THAN STARVING. UH! WE AGREED
WITH MOTHER-- I COLLECT PEAT
FOR THE FIRE, YOU CATCH FOOD
FOR THE TABLE. [HUMMING] SO, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO? I'M GOING TO CATCH
SOMETHING ELSE. EWAN, YOU'
RE NOT GOING TO GO
DOWN TO THE LOCH! JUST DON'T GO
TELLING MOTHER. IF I CATCH

BETTER OFF. BUT, EWAN, THE LOCH'S
A DANGEROUS PLACE! THE KELPIE! THE ROWAN

HIS RABBIT TRAPS? I DON'T THINK SO. CATRIONA. HE SAID HE'D BE
ALL RIGHT. HE...HE'S MADE
A FISHING ROD FROM THE ROWAN TREE. HE'S GONE FISHING?
OH, NO! CATRIONA, YOU
SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME. STAY
HERE, MY DEAR, AND DON'T CROSS THE SAFETY
OF THE ROWAN TREE. I JUST HOPE
I'M NOT TOO LATE. [SHIVERING] AHA. SO, HERE AT LAST. [NICKERS] [NEIGHS] KEEP AWAY

A CLEVER BOY. ARE YOU NOT? CLEVER ENOUGH
TO GET THE
BETTER OF YOU. WHAT A COMMENDABLE
PIECE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP. WHY... [YAWNS] THANK YOU. OH, BUT YOU NO LONGER REQUIRE
YOUR FISHING ROD FOR THE DAY. CAST IT ASIDE, AND I WILL
TAKE
YOU HOME. NOW...APPROACH ME.
THAT'S IT. CLIMB UP ON MY BACK. A SMART YOUNG MAN
LIKE YOU SHOULD RIDE
A FINE HORSE. EWAN! EWAN! DON'T GO
NEAR THE WATER-HORSE! DO YOU HEAR ME?
EWAN, IT'LL DROWN YOU! EWAN! EWAN! DON'T GO
NEAR THE WATER-HORSE! EWAN! UH...UH... AH! AH! COME AWAY FROM
THERE, EWAN. YOU CLEVER BEASTIE.

TO THE LOCH TOGETHER. OH, NO, BEASTIE.
I KNOW YOUR GAME. LOOK AT MY BRIDLE! OH, NO. THERE'S SOMETHIN
G

FROM THE KELPIE, EWAN! I'LL GET MORE ROWAN
TO HELP YOU! [KELPIE ROARS] YOU WON'T STAY STILL! WHERE'S EWAN,

TRAPPED BY THE LOCH. WE NEED MORE

TO FEAR THE KELPIE ANYMORE? HA HA HA. NO, EWAN.
HE'S LOST HIS POWER NOW. HE'LL JUST SWIM ROUND
AND ROUND THE LOCH FOREVER. HE WON'T BE OF HARM
TO ANYBODY ELSE. SO WE CAN GO
FISHING, THEN? INDEED! HA HA HA! HA HA HA! HA HA HA! I'LL GO AND GET
