Rupert! Rise and shine, dear!

Rupert?

Rupert?

Down here, Mum!

Good morning!

Good morning! You're up very early today!

I just couldn't sleep in any longer, Mum.

I'm too excited!

You sound like it's Christmas morning.

Almost! Pong Ping has a special surprise to show us.

And Pong Ping's surprises are always the best! Bye!

Have fun, dear.

I hope Edward won't be late! He said he'd meet me first thing.

(Snoring)

(Laughing)

I can't imagine how early he must get up

when it really is Christmas morning!

I can't wait to see what Pong Ping has to show us.

He said it was something fantastic.

Where's Bill? I thought he was going to meet us at the gate.

He must have got here early.

You know the old saying"Bill waits for no one!"

(Laughing)

Zao an, Rupert and Edward!

Good morning, Pong Ping. Morning.

Come in, my friends. But where is Bill?

We thought he would already be here.

Well, Pong Ping. Where's this big surprise?

It is said, "All things come to those who wait."

And we must wait for Bill.

Aww, come on, Pong Ping.

Couldn't you at least give us a hint?

All right, Edward.

You are sitting on it.

It's not a great idea for me to sit on surprises.

But, there's nothing here.

Then have my honourable friends been sitting in mid air?

You mean the couch?

That's the big surprise?

Well, it's a very nice couch.

My friends seem disappointed!

No offence, Pong Ping, but maybe you should have

invited our Mums over to look at it instead of us.

Ah, but this is not an ordinary couch.

It has been loaned to me by my great friend, the Old Mandarin.

When Bill arrives, I will reveal the rest of the surprise.

I wish Bill would get here soon!

Ayah! Hey!

Hang on! Whoa!

(Laughing)

Brilliant!

What a great surprise, Pong Ping!

Where's it taking us?

Do not worry, Edward.

You wished Bill was at my home,

so now the couch goes to fetch him. It is granting your wish!

You mean the couch grants wishes?

I told you it was no ordinary couch!

Amazing!

Well, I wish it would land right now!

Sorry, Edward, you only get one wish.

Whoa! I'm not sure I like soaring sofas.

No Ping Ping!

Oh, come on, Toby!

Don't you want to see Pong Ping's surprise?

I'll buy you an ice cream cone.

No cream cone!

Ooh. Just my luck to get stuck babysitting today of all days.

I'm going to miss out on Pong Ping's big surprise!

Hello, Bill!

But then again, maybe not.

Come on, Toby!

Toby! Hang on!

Whee!

Toby fly! Whee!

Isn't it great?

Just one questionwhy would anyone need a flying couch?

To see the dragon races, of course!

The Old Mandarin has invited me to attend.

Dragon races?

It is one of the most exciting spectacles in all of China!

Come on, there's no such thing as dragons.

Ah, dragons would be very disappointed to hear this.

Believe me, Edward, there are hundreds in China.

Oh sure, and I suppose they breathe fire too.

Oh yes! In fact, many of them live in the Valley of Dragons,

among the Far High Mountains of China.

The Valley of Dragons. Gosh, I wish I could see that.

Whoa!

Ayah! Hang on!

Whee! Toby fly!

What did you have to say that for?

What? What did I say? Where are we going?

To see some dragons, thanks to you!

What are you talking about?


There's something about this couch we forgot to tell you.

It looks like the Old Mandarin will have some unexpected guests

for the Dragon Races.

That Bill has all the luck!

Ayah! But his luck is very, very bad luck, Rupert!

Dragon races are held at the Old Mandarin's palace,

using his tame dragons.

Yes? And?

Bill wished to see the Valley of the Dragons.

Dragons there are wild, untamed fire-breathing monsters!

Oh no!

They will be in great danger!

We've got to stop them!

Come on, Pong Ping.

We can get to China in your lift!

It's no use!

It would take many weeks to hike across the Far High Mountains.

We need a flying machine!

We need the Professor!

I wish I was home. I wish I was in Nutwood.

I wish I'd stayed in bed!

You see? One wish each. And we've both used ours!

Boat! Boat!

(Giggling)

But Toby hasn't made a wish!

Toby?

Toby fly! Whee!

(Pounding)

Professor! Hello? Anyone home?

He isn't in!

This is most unfortunate. There is no time to lose!

Let's try his workshop!

I'm sure the Professor won't mind if we borrow his Jetcopter.

After all, this is...

an emergency!

The Jetcopter?

It used to be.

Ah! What about the Professor's balloon?

It's too slow, and only goes where the wind blows.

We'll have to settle for the Skycycle.

All right, Toby, repeat after me. "I wish to go home."

Ice cream?

Yes, yes. Say it, and I'll buy you an ice cream cone!

I...

That's it, Toby.

Eye! Eye!

Oh no.

Ear! Mouth! Nose!

(Groaning)

Bill nose!

Edward big nose!

(Giggling)

Hang on, Rupert.

We approach the turn around.

I only hope we're not too late!

Come on, Toby! I know you can say it!

"I wish to go home."

I wish to...

That's it, Toby.

Come on, Toby. Take us home!

I wish to go...

(Whispering)

No!

What happened? What did he say?

He wishes to go pee pee.

Toby, good boy!

Why didn't you get him to do that before you left the house?

That way, Rupert!

The Valley of the Dragons lies beyond the Far High Mountains.

Fast as you can, Pong Ping.

♪

Not a ship, not a sail, nothing.

Ah!

At least there's food!

Toby good boy?

Yes, Toby's a good boy.

Uh oh! Whee!

Edward! Come on!

(Gasping)

Run, Edward!

Hey! Don't leave me here!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whee!

Great, now that Toby's got his wish,

this silly sofa's carrying on with my wish

to see the Valley of the Dragons.

Wait a minute! What have I done?

I'd rather be marooned on a desert island!

Pedal, Pong Ping!

I'm right behind you, Rupert!

We've got to keep going.

Got to help the others.

Oh my gosh!

The wings are icing up, Pong Ping!

Pedal, Rupert! Pedal!

It's no use! We're too heavy!

Hang on!

Ah!

♪


We must be in China. Great.

See the world, get a couch.

And something tells me those are the Far High Mountains.

Well, they're certainly far and high enough.

Next stop, Valley of the Dragons.

Whee!

Don't worry, Pong Ping! We can get flying again,

as soon as we get below the snow line!

Rupert!

Bill?

Look!

Rupert!

Help!

Don't worry! We're coming!

Bye bye, Rupert! Bye bye!

Bye bye is right. It looks like we're here.

Whoa! Whee!

We've got to rescue them!

Whoa!

Ah! I fear we may become icicles first!

(Growling)

Or maybe become frozen treats for mountain leopard.

It was probably just the wind.

(Growling)

It is often said that the wind howls like a wolf,

but I fear this time it is a wolf howling like the wind!

(Growling)

You're wrong, Pong Ping!

You mean it is the wind?

No, but it isn't a wolf either!

(Gasping)

Ah!

Beeruppa?

Ping? Beeruppa! Ping!

I don't believe it!

It's Little Yeti Yum!

Only he's not so little anymore!

He was just a baby when we met him in Nutwood!

Look how you've grown! You're as tall as me!

I'd forgotten that your home is here in the Far High Mountains.

I am very pleased to meet

Not So Little Yum's most honourable father!

How do you do, Mr. Yum?

Pee Chee Gurrowlo wa?

No, Yum, P.C. Growler isn't with is, although I wish he was.

You see, some friends of ours are in trouble,

and there's no time to lose.

(Snoring)

All right, couch. I've seen Dragon Valley, now take us home!

Oh great! I suppose you have to mention

you'd like a round trip when you make your wish!

What?

We'd better get out of sight before those lizards spot us.

Come on, Toby, we'll...

Toby? Where'd he go?

Toby!

Toby! This is no place to play hide and seek.

(Giggling)

Birdie! Birdie!

TOBYDat's Toby!

Pretty birdie!

Toby! Leave the dragons alone!

Whee!

Hey! Leave my brother alone!

Ah! Bill!

Look out!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa!

(Giggling)

Whoa!

Ah!

Whoa!

(Giggling)

Whoa!

(Laughing)

Look, we made it!

The Valley of Dragons!

Come on, Pong Ping!

No time to lose!

Good-bye, Little Yum!

Beeruppa!

Good-bye, Papa Yum! Thanks for the ride!

I can't run...

much farther.

(Screaming)

(Roaring)

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

Bill! Edward!

Run to the couch!

(Screaming)

Hurry!

But we've already used up our wishes!

Pong Ping hasn't!

(Roaring)

Ready, Pong Ping? Now!

Ayah!

Made it!

I wish I was at the Mandarin's Palace!

Wait! We've lost Toby!


(Screeching)

Hey! Over here!

(Snarling)

Come and get me, you big scaly scaredy cat!

Make it go down! We've got to go back for my brother!

Ayah! We have used up our wishes!

Not Rupert.

He can still wish us back to Toby!

Rupert!

This way! Hurry!

(Roaring)

Rupert!

We need you! We've got to go back for Toby!

Oh my gosh! Toby!

Ah!

I thought I was going to watch a dragon race,

not take part in one.

Come on, Rupert!

You can do it! Hurry!

Ah!

Oh no!

Rupert!

He's not going to make it!

This way, Rupert! Hurry!

Grab hold!

Come on, Rupert!

Made it!

Whew! Thank you.

Rupert, Toby's still down there! And the dragons have got him!

Oh no! I wish we were--

There they are!

Whee! Hi!

They weren't kidnapping him after all.

They were saving him from that big fire breather.

Birdies!

You little rascal! If you ever run off again, I'll...

Toby cold!

You won't be cold for long, Toby!

Guess who's coming for dinner?

Whoa!

He's gaining on us!

We're too slow!

We have too many passengers!

It's been nice knowing all of you!

(Wheezing)

(Sneezing)

Bye bye!

It looks like he couldn't stand the cold weather!

Of course, Rupert! Snow and ice are bad for fire breathers.

That's why they stay put in the Valley of the Dragons.

Edward! I thought you didn't believe in dragons!

It's hard not to after what we've been through, Pong Ping.

But I'm still having a hard time believing in a flying couch!

(Laughing)

(Broadcaster commenting on the race in Mandarin)

Come on, Yellow Lotus!

Go, Emerald Fire! Go!

Go, birdie!

Aren't you going to watch the dragon races, Bill?

No, thanks.

Dragon races don't seem all that exciting

after you've been in a dragon chase!

I have to admit, it was a close shave.

And you say Little Yum rescued you up there in the mountains?

If it wasn't for Yeti Yum and his Father,

Pong Ping and I would never have made it.

Amazing! So how is Little Yum?

He's fine! I just wish you could see how much he's grown!

What?

Oops. Uh oh.

Oh no! Not Again!

Bye bye!

I'll get you for this, Rupert!

Sorry, Bill!

Would you like to borrow my scarf?
