English translation:

0:18 Towser enjoyed his morning walk and thought how enjoyable life was.
0:23 Behind him he heard some giggling, and he turned around.
You would have liked to fly as well, giggled the butterfly.
But yes, I would have liked to be able to fly said Towser, but dogs dont fly normally.
You probably could ?!, said the butterfly.
You only have to look for a bright red stone with a black line, and then say your wish
0:47 Hmm thought Towser, makes me think and away flew the butterfly.
0:55 A bright red stone with a black stripe, thought Towser. I think there has to be one around here somewhere.
1:16 What the devil are you doing here Towser!! ,, Well Im looking for a bright red stone with a black stripe, so that I can fly.
1:25 Oh you want to fly, forget about the stone, I do a magic spell said the wizard.
Great ! said Towser, can I fly now. Wait a moment Towser, Yah!! it will work!
Towser tried it
1:51 And he tried again.
2:01 You are not believing in it said the wizard.
If you believe in it you can fly.
Yeh I believe in it, I believe in it, I believe in it, I believe in it said Towser grinding his teeth. And ,, he flew, .. he flew.. fantastic ! This is delicious, I have always dreamt of it, I can fly.
2:31 Thank you wizard. Its fine, said the Wizard.
2:59 Sadie was just hanging up a painting, when Towser flew in through the window.
Hello Sadie , and what do you think of this ?
huh , huh, OOhh That is not funny Towser !
3:28 At the Royal castle gardens, was the King asleep, on the Royal sleeping hangmat until Towser flew by.
Hallo Sir Majesty, said Towser Wouldnt you mind trying this flying out too, like me.
That did I just now grumbled the King.
3:43 Hallo dr. Smellie: said Towser , Ooh Hello Towser! frowned dr. Smellie, I didnt know that I landed already mate. Watch out for the step, it is a high one. You fly !! exclaimed dr. Smellie. Yeh, but so are you said Towser.
Peh pe deh hmm hm said Towser, he was feeling so good.
4:10 Hello, said the bird, I have heard of a seadog, but never of a air dog. Haha laught Towser, only a dog , just only a dog - only a dog who can fly. Yeh ! but that is not possible said the bird, dogs dont fly. Have you ever seen a flying dog ?
Thats true said Towser That makes sense. You are right, and .. Towser fell.
And he fell of his belief.
4:44 Hello, giggled the butterfly. I see that you found the stone Oh yes said Towser, Oh yeah, I found that quickly. Thanks for the tip
