00:00Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a kind-hearted girl named Dorothy.
00:06She worked diligently for a most unpleasant lady, by the name of Mrs. Betsy,
00:12who had an even meaner daughter, Tessie.
00:16Dorothy! Cook faster, would you?
00:20Aaaaahhh!
00:22I'm hungry!
00:25My poor Tessie is starving!
00:30Y-yes, ma'am.
00:36This food is so bland!
00:40Dorothy, next time, do us a favor and cook some more.
00:45This food is so bland!
00:47Dorothy, next time, do us a favor and cook something that's edible.
00:56Y-yes, ma'am.
01:00Dorothy!
01:02Aren't you done with the laundry yet? Hurry up, girl!
01:08Yes, ma'am!
01:11Dorothy's life was full of misery and hardship.
01:15As she always felt unappreciated for the work she did.
01:27Grandma, I'm home!
01:31Oh, Dorothy!
01:35Dorothy lived with her old grandmother,
01:37and spent all her earnings in keeping her comfortable and happy.
01:42Peaches!
01:43Oh, I love these!
01:46Thank you so much, dearie!
01:50One evening, a certain furry guest entered their house.
01:54It was a beautiful Persian cat that strolled daintily into the living room.
02:00A cat?
02:02Oh, mother!
02:03Can we keep it?
02:05No!
02:07Please! Please! Please!
02:09Mom!
02:12Ugh!
02:13Fine!
02:14But I am not going to look after it.
02:19That's fine.
02:20Dorothy, fetch some food for the cat, will ya?
02:23But Dorothy was engrossed in looking at the cat.
02:27Except it wasn't a cat that she saw,
02:30but a princess dressed in the finest of clothes.
02:36Am I crazy?
02:38How is it possible that while I see a stunning princess,
02:42they see a cat?
02:46Dorothy!
02:48Eek!
02:50Food for the cat?
02:53Yes, Tessie.
02:58Dorothy returned with a bowl of cream.
03:01Took you long enough.
03:04Here you go, kitty!
03:07Hmph!
03:09Hmm.
03:10Maybe she wants something else.
03:13They tried giving the cat many tasty things,
03:16but she refused them all.
03:18Leave her!
03:20Cats are temperamental.
03:22It will eat when it wants.
03:24Let's eat dinner.
03:26Dorothy!
03:27Go lay the table!
03:29Brr!
03:30Dorothy?
03:33Uh, yes, Mrs. Betsy.
03:38Hmm.
03:43Ah!
03:48La-di-da!
03:50Hmm?
03:53Dorothy went to find the source of the sound
03:56and saw the princess singing.
03:58La-di-da!
04:00Ah!
04:01You!
04:02You can see me!
04:04I knew it!
04:06Eek!
04:07Um, I can, but they see a cat.
04:10I mean, what's going on?
04:13Hmm.
04:14You seem like a nice person.
04:17Also, since you can see me,
04:20it means you a good heart.
04:23Tell you what.
04:25I will trust you.
04:29Oh, great!
04:30I'd be the first person to win a cat's trust, then.
04:34Um, sorry.
04:35That was a terrible attempt at humor.
04:38It most definitely was.
04:44Perhaps she'd be able to break my brother's spell, too.
04:49Excuse me?
04:51Ahem.
04:52Yes.
04:53Introduction time.
04:56I'll go first.
04:57Obviously.
04:59My name's Maya.
05:01I'm a princess,
05:03which you can most definitely tell by my royal poise.
05:07Ha-ha!
05:08I have been traveling under the guise of a cat.
05:12Brr!
05:13Again, obviously.
05:15Um...
05:16Ha-ha!
05:17Sure.
05:19Why am I traveling under the guise of a cat?
05:22Ha!
05:23Simple.
05:24I'm trying to find my missing brother,
05:27who has been cast under an evil spell
05:30that has turned him into a Maltese cat.
05:36Oh, yeah.
05:37Quite, quite simple, actually.
05:40I should have figured it out on my own.
05:43Sorry.
05:44Um, I mean, I hope your brother is all right.
05:48My cat sense tells me he is fine.
05:53But to live as a cat can be dangerous.
05:58Not all humans are kind.
06:01Um, question, Your Highness?
06:05You can call me Princess Maya.
06:09Um, Princess Maya?
06:11You are still a princess.
06:13Why don't you use your guards and army and find your brother?
06:19A curious mind, I see.
06:22Well, to answer your question, I snuck out
06:26because my uncle is an evil person
06:29and has taken over the throne
06:31after my father, which should have come to me or my brother.
06:35Brr!
06:36I think he's the one behind the evil spell
06:39that turned my brother into a cat.
06:43That's why I decided to sneak out and find him on my own
06:46and not attract unnecessary attention.
06:50Simple?
06:52Keeps getting simpler.
06:57Yes, I know.
06:58But that's enough about me.
07:00Tell me, Dorothy.
07:02Why do you work here to be treated so badly by these people?
07:07Well, that's...
07:09Dorothy told her all about how she wanted to give her grandmother a comfortable life
07:15and thus needed the money.
07:18That's all?
07:20Tell you what.
07:22I will help you.
07:24That's all?
07:26You don't know how difficult it is to get a job around here.
07:30We will see.
07:31But I'd also need you to help me in return.
07:35Uh, I will try.
07:39Since you can see me, you will be able to see my brother also, I think.
07:46Once I find him, no matter in whichever part of the world,
07:50you will have to come with me to break his spell.
07:56Deal?
07:58Um...
07:59Good!
08:00Follow me!
08:02And out into the night they went through the cold air.
08:16Hmm?
08:18Here!
08:19Take these gold coins and give them to your grandmother.
08:23Now, you won't have to work for that horrid lady anymore.
08:28What?
08:29For real?
08:33Mm-hmm.
08:34Now, the gold isn't going to last forever.
08:36We need a permanent solution to your problem.
08:39Let's go to your house.
08:41The two of them soon reached Dorothy's little home,
08:44and by now, it was dawn.
08:46I will wait outside.
08:47Don't want your grandmother to think you're crazy when you talk to me.
08:52All right.
08:53Or you can sneak into my room through that window,
08:56and I will see you there.
08:58All right.
09:04Grandma!
09:05Grandma!
09:07Look what I've got!
09:11Oh!
09:12What?
09:13Oh, sweetie, how did you...
09:16It's, well, a stroke of good luck.
09:19Grandma, now we'll be able to live a very good life.
09:24And that day, when the sun was up and shining in its glory,
09:28the princess spoke to Dorothy.
09:31Dorothy, what are these?
09:34Do you...
09:35Do you know how to sew?
09:38Of course.
09:39I love designing and sewing.
09:41It's my hobby.
09:43Perfect!
09:59Choose any one of these materials.
10:03Um...
10:05These ones?
10:06Good!
10:07Now close your eyes,
10:09and think of that one thing that makes you happy.
10:14Um...
10:16Do it!
10:17Dorothy closed her eyes
10:19and thought of the beautiful, resplendent, quetzal bird taking flight.
10:24She smiled and opened her eyes.
10:27I thought of...
10:28Just put your happy thoughts into your design.
10:32And that's what Dorothy did.
10:34In only a few days,
10:36she had sewn such marvelous dresses
10:39that she herself couldn't believe she had done them.
10:44Now, we've got to sell them.
10:48And so, they went to the market
10:50where people noticed the stunning clothes
10:52and started selling them.
10:54And so, they went to the market
10:56where people noticed the stunning clothes
10:58and grabbed on to them.
11:01By the end of the day,
11:02everything had been sold.
11:06This is so much!
11:08If I can continue,
11:09I will be able to give Grandma a really good life.
11:13As long as you do what really makes you happy,
11:16I think you and your grandmother should be fine.
11:19And it came true.
11:21Dorothy soon started to do extremely well.
11:24And with the money she earned,
11:26built up her poor cottage into a pretty house
11:30and even kept a helper.
11:32She also opened up a lovely little shop
11:35for selling the clothes she sewed.
11:37This is so amazing!
11:40Oh, Your Highness,
11:41I mean, Princess Maya,
11:44it's everything I ever wanted.
11:47Oh, I'm pleased to hear that.
11:50Well then, since I've kept my word,
11:53Brr, will you now help me break my brother's curse?
11:58Yes, of course.
12:00But how do we find him?
12:03Brr, my cat sense is telling me
12:08that he is in the nearby kingdom.
12:12We must leave immediately.
12:14Dorothy nodded and hurried to her grandmother.
12:18Grandma, I'll need to leave the town for some days
12:21as I have to, uh, make a delivery to the next kingdom.
12:26Jessica will look after you, won't you, Jess?
12:30Of course, Miss Dorothy.
12:33Be safe, dear.
12:36Dorothy and the princess set out for the neighboring kingdom.
12:40There they wandered around
12:42and tried to find the young cat prince.
12:47He keeps moving.
12:50Silly brother.
12:53Don't worry, we will definitely find him.
12:57I, oh, I, I can sense him.
13:01He is nearby.
13:04Princess, wait!
13:08Wait!
13:09Oh!
13:11Hey!
13:13Sorry, sorry.
13:14Princess?
13:16Princess?
13:19I found my brother, Dorothy.
13:22Can you see him?
13:23Can you see his human form?
13:25Can you?
13:26Can you?
13:28Brr.
13:30Oh, uh, I'm so sorry, Maya,
13:33but, but all I see is a Maltese cat.
13:38Oh!
13:39Oh, dear!
13:41But you can see me in my human form.
13:44Please, try again.
13:46Close your eyes and open them.
13:50Sister, sister, wait.
13:52She is too young to break my spell.
13:55What do you mean?
13:57My spell can be broken only by a person
14:00who has lived for more than 60 years
14:02with a kind and good heart.
14:05Oh!
14:07What is it, Princess?
14:09Princess Maya explained to Dorothy about the spell
14:12and how she had missed an important part.
14:15Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:17I couldn't be of any help.
14:20You've done a lot, Dorothy.
14:22I've found my brother, finally.
14:24Now, you must go back to your life.
14:27I wish you all the best.
14:29Brr.
14:31Oh, but I have become so fond of you.
14:34Me too, Dorothy.
14:36But now, I must go on my way.
14:39And you, yours.
14:42You know, I've made something for you.
14:44I didn't know things would turn out to be like this.
14:47I thought we'd go back to my house and...
14:50All right.
14:52Excuse me?
14:53I said, all right, let's go to your house.
14:56I'd like a good rest before we start our travel anyway.
14:59Come along, brother.
15:00Come along, brother.
15:02And so, the three of them returned to Dorothy's home.
15:06Grandma, I'm back.
15:09Oh, who is this young man?
15:13What?
15:14What?
15:16The grandmother could see the Maltese cat in his human form
15:20and immediately the spell broke.
15:23Oh.
15:25Brr.
15:26Oh, I'm back.
15:28I am back.
15:30I am back.
15:34Why is he screaming?
15:38Oh, the spell is broken.
15:41Grandma, you broke his spell.
15:45I what?
15:47Oh, I'm so happy.
15:49Brother.
15:51The three of them rejoiced
15:53and Dorothy carefully explained everything to her grandmother
15:57who was quite surprised.
16:00I see.
16:02Well, I'm happy to have helped.
16:06Oh, thank you so much.
16:08And you too, Dorothy, for everything.
16:13No, thank you.
16:16And so, Dorothy, the Princess Maya and the Prince
16:21stayed as good friends for life.
16:24The Prince claimed his throne back from the evil uncle
16:27and ruled the kingdom with his sister
16:30and together they taught their people
16:33holding on to bad things is a waste.
16:36One must always be kind and cheerful
16:39as that is what brings happiness.
16:43And as for Dorothy,
16:45she went all to tell everyone to follow their heart
16:49and do what makes them happy.
16:54The End
