Not while I'm around.

- I won't let the Horned King

get close to you, Hen.

- [Sniffing]

- I'll protect you.

-[Crowd Cheering]

[Cheering Continues]

[Man] Taran of Caer Dallben,

the greatest warrior

in all Prydain,

a true hero!

[Crowd Cheering]

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you all.

But without the help of my pig,

Hen Wen, here, I--

Hen Wen, where are you ?

Hen Wen ?

Oh, no!

Hen?

[Echoing]

Hen Wen!

[Twigs Cracking, Wings Flapping]

Is that you, Hen ?

Look what I've got.

-Come on out. Here's a lovely--

-[Yelling]

[Laughing, Kissing]

Ooh, great prince. Give poor, starving

Gurgi munchings and crunchings.

Nice apple.

Good prince. Good apple.

Oh, boy, what a juicy apple.

[Humming]

Hey. No, you don't!

I didn't give you that apple.

You took it. Ow!

Hey, hold on, you hairy, little thief.

Come back with my apple!

If you don't give it back,

you'll be sorry. I mean it.

I'm warning you.

Give it back.

Come on. The apple--

Where is it?

Uh-uh. Gurgi not know

where the ap-- Uh-oh.

Give it back.

I warn you.

[Slurping]

Come on.

-Aha.

-Come on, the apple. Let's have it.

You horrible,

greedy thing.

You should be ashamed

of yourself!

Oh, poor,

miserable Gurgi deserves...

fierce smackings and whackings

on his poor, tender head.

[Sniffling] Always left with

no munchings and crunchings.

[Sobbing]

Forgive poor Gurgi.

Oh, stop that sniveling.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Now, look here.

Have you seen my pig ?

Piggy?

Round, fat piggy?

- Big snout? [Snorting]

- Yes, yes.

-Curly tail ?

-That's her. That's Hen Wen!

Uh-uh. Nope.

Gurgi not see piggy. Nope.

Oh, never mind.

No telling where

Hen Wen is by now.

Ooh, master, master.

Now Gurgi remembers! Yes, yes!

Clever, sharp-eyed Gurgi saw

the piggy run. [Imitates Hoof beats]

Yes, right through the forest!

Mm-hmm. I saw it! I saw it!

Come!

Gurgi will find the lost piggy.

Then we'll be friends

forever.

Munchings and crunchings

in here somewhere.

-[Distressed Squealing]

- It's Hen Wen! She's in trouble!

Good-bye.

Hen Wen!

Hen!

[Squealing Continues]

-[Flying Creatures Squawking]

- Hen Wen!

- [Hen Wen Squealing]

- [Roaring]

[Taran] Hen Wen, look out!

[Roars]

[Hen Wen Squealing]

[Taran] Look out!

[Continues Squealing]

Come on! Hurry, Hen!

No! Don't! Hen, hurry!

[Panicked Squealing]

Don't! No!

No! No!

[Roars]

No! Come back!

Please!

No! No! Come back!

[Grunts]

[Thunderclap]

[Hen Wen Squealing]

[Panting]

Hen Wen.

I must get her

out of there.

[Gurgi] Oh, no, great lord.

Not go in there.

Forget the piggy.

-What are you doing here ?

-Gurgi come back to be your friend.

You're no friend!

Why, you ran away when I--
