01:36Yesterday was one of the most exciting days ever in St. Pete.
01:40It was the day my new friend, Mr. Arthur O'Connor, flew into town in his balloon and crash-landed
01:45on Cardiff Hill.
01:47Lucky for me, he spent the night as our house guest.
01:50And today, I've made up my mind that I'm going to get Arthur to take me for a ride in
01:54that fair balloon.
02:03Morning, Miss Mary.
02:04Morning, Jim.
02:06Pardon me, Miss Mary, but is that fellow still asleep?
02:08Who, Arthur?
02:09Yes, ma'am, if that's the man that come flying into town in that contraption.
02:13I think he still may be asleep. He was really banged up when he landed, so it's a good thing
02:17he's resting comfortably.
02:19Oh, Jim, pick me some tomatoes and cucumbers.
02:22Right away.
02:30Why don't we just wake him up?
02:36He's bound to wake himself up, so let's hurry and get dressed.
02:40Mm-hmm.
02:41The fact is, last night I dreamed I was flying in a balloon high above the ground, and at one
02:47point, I got out to walk on the clouds.
02:50They were as soft as marshmallows and tickled my feet when suddenly I fell through and began falling to earth.
02:57As always happens in flying dreams, I woke up just before hitting the ground, and that convinced me I had
03:04nothing to fear about flying.
03:07We really should let him sleep.
03:09I know that.
03:11Can't wait to hear some more of those stories of his.
03:14Mm-hmm. I sure never heard more exciting ones.
03:20We just have to wait a little longer, that's all.
03:23Darn.
03:24Here you are, Miss Mary.
03:26Well, thank you very much, Jim.
03:28I think Mr. Arthur will really enjoy this.
03:32Ma'am?
03:34What?
03:36I don't know how to say this, but a lot of the people are saying that fella is the very
03:41devil himself.
03:42Why, why, that's unbelievable.
03:44Well, I don't believe it, ma'am, but that's what folks are saying.
03:46Well, he's not.
03:47Arthur is an engineer who designs balloons for the army.
03:50That may be, ma'am, but he did come flying in from the sky, you know.
03:55He flew in a balloon.
03:57My word, it isn't though he had wings on his back, he can't fly on his own.
04:01That right?
04:02I hear tell that somebody saw the wings on his back and him flying through the air.
04:07That is untrue.
04:08Whoever said it is a lie.
04:11Oh, well.
04:16Come on, Tom.
04:16Let me try him on, too.
04:17Huh?
04:18Keep quiet.
04:18Otherwise, you'll wake him up.
04:21If you let me use him, I'll keep quiet.
04:23Stop!
04:24Tom!
04:25Come on, Tom.
04:25Get him to me.
04:26No!
04:27Sid!
04:28Yes!
04:29All right.
04:30Here.
04:30I can't see a thing.
04:32You let me.
04:34Why'd you do that?
04:35Whoops.
04:37Morning, guys.
04:38Oh, it's your fault we woke him up.
04:41Good morning, Arthur.
04:42Yeah, good morning.
04:44You get a good night's sleep?
04:45Sure did.
04:48Your bed's really comfortable.
04:50Glad you like it.
04:51Yeah, but I don't want to overstay my welcome, so I'm going to have to find another place to
04:55stay tonight.
04:55That way, you can have your bed back.
04:57But I don't want to sleep in my bed.
04:58I want you to sleep in it.
05:00I really don't mind.
05:01Oh, boy.
05:03Besides that, Mary will be very disappointed if you leave.
05:06Uh-huh.
05:07Oh.
05:08Anyway, you promised to tell us more about traveling and balloons and all that stuff about
05:12flying and Chicago, too.
05:14Arthur, you've got to stay.
05:15It's not every day we get a visitor from as far away as Chicago.
05:20I sure don't want my being here to be a burden on you and your family, but if you're insisting...
05:25As far as I'm concerned, you can stay here as our house guest as long as you like.
05:29For a week or even a month.
05:32Or even a whole year.
05:39There you are.
05:40You know you're welcome to stay with us as long as you need, because we're happy to
05:44have you, Mr. O'Connor.
05:45Thank you, ma'am.
05:46I'll be glad to accept, and I'm grateful for your hospitality.
05:49Oh, boy!
05:50How about that?
05:51How about that?
05:52When do you suppose they'll come for you?
05:55I have no way of knowing.
05:56Maybe tomorrow or the day after, or maybe even later, Mary.
06:00Huh?
06:01Hmm.
06:02They might be here that soon?
06:04Well, I imagine that would be the earliest.
06:06If they're coming all the way from Chicago, surely it will take them a little longer.
06:10Of course.
06:11You're probably right, but then again, I'm only guessing.
06:14I guess you must have sent for the army to get the balloon, huh?
06:17Sure did.
06:18It's awful big.
06:19How do you think they'll carry it?
06:20Well, in a wagon, I guess.
06:23Arthur, I was just wondering.
06:25Do you think you could take us up in it?
06:27Just once, I mean, before they come and take it away.
06:30That might be impossible, Tom.
06:32I'd have to check it out a lot closer to tell.
06:35Oh.
06:36But you will take a look at it, won't you?
06:39Why, I don't know.
06:41I really hadn't thought about it, but I can't think of a good reason why I should.
06:46Why?
06:46So you can fix it up and make it fly again.
06:48Even fixed up, I couldn't fly it back to Chicago, understand?
06:52Mm-hmm.
06:52But it could work good enough to take us up in it.
06:55Now, Thomas.
06:56And besides, I told you yesterday it can be pretty dangerous to go up in a balloon.
07:01You have to realize that if you fell from a height of over 40 feet, you could be seriously injured,
07:05maybe killed.
07:06But hot air balloons don't really crash, do they?
07:08I mean, I thought they just floated down to the ground.
07:11Well, from my experience, I must say that possibility is remote, but not out of the question.
07:17I might still have been killed.
07:19Which reminds me, Arthur.
07:21Arthur, you should come into the office to see Dr. Mitchell for a checkup and have your bandages changed.
07:26Thanks for the reminder.
07:27I will.
07:29Arthur, if you do get it up again, you won't forget about me, will you?
07:33Tom, didn't you hear Mr. O'Connor say it's dangerous?
07:36Besides, he's not even sure the thing can fly.
07:38Now, stop being a pest.
07:40If you ever do get it to fly again, I still want to go with you.
07:43I don't care if it's dangerous.
07:44Thomas, that's enough of that.
07:49Arthur, I'm not afraid.
07:51I really want to fly in that balloon.
07:53You really mean that, don't you, Tom?
07:55Mm-hmm.
07:55I want to go fly more than anything I've ever wanted in my whole life.
07:59Tom!
07:59Yes, ma'am.
08:09Do you really think you can get the balloon to fly again all by yourself?
08:13I really don't know for sure.
08:15But as badly as Tom wants to go up in it, I've got to give it a try.
08:18I'm not about to disappoint him if I can help it.
08:21But once you're aloft, wouldn't the same thing happen as before?
08:25Wouldn't you be at the mercy of the winds?
08:27And there's no telling what direction you'd fly in.
08:31Not necessarily.
08:32That's one mistake I'll try not to let happen again.
08:35We wouldn't have met if you hadn't made that mistake.
08:39I never quite thought of it in that way.
08:42Well, I certainly have.
08:44Now that you mention it, we'd still be strangers if it hadn't have been for that wind.
08:50Arthur, wait a second.
08:51Are you headed for Dr. Mitchell's office right now?
08:53Oh, not exactly, Tom.
08:56As a matter of fact, I was just telling Mary I was thinking of going over to check out the
09:00balloon, Tom.
09:01Good idea.
09:02The sooner you get it fixed, the sooner we can go flying.
09:04Well, I'm not even sure it can be fixed, but I'm going to take a good look.
09:08But you've got to fix it, Arthur.
09:09You've just got to.
09:24That's the fifth.
09:26Huh?
09:26I'm sorry, Dr. Mitchell.
09:27Did you just say something?
09:29Of course I did.
09:30I said that was the fifth one.
09:32I'm sorry.
09:32What do you mean by that?
09:34You mean to tell me you have no idea what I'm talking about?
09:37No.
09:40Mary, that was the fifth heavy sigh you've breathed today.
09:43That's impossible.
09:44Come now, Mary.
09:46What is it that's troubling you?
09:48Sir?
09:49Anything wrong?
09:50Because if there is, I think I might be able to help.
09:53No.
09:54Nothing's wrong.
09:56Couldn't prove it by me.
09:57Of course, it's none of my business, but I've been watching you mope around here all morning like a sick
10:01calf,
10:02and I hear these heaving sighs.
10:04Ooh, yes.
10:05That's it.
10:07Hmm.
10:08I really can't imagine what you're talking about, Doctor.
10:12Well, I'll tell you.
10:14I think you might be in love, but of course, that's just a guess.
10:17But a good one.
10:19I'm talking about the young fellow who crash-landed near here in the balloon.
10:23What?
10:23I can't imagine how you could think such a thing.
10:26I admit he's an attractive young man, but after all, I only met him yesterday.
10:30Wouldn't make the slightest difference if you met him ten seconds ago.
10:33It's called love at first sight.
10:36And unless I miss my guess, he's going to be returning to Chicago.
10:40There, you did it again.
10:43Yet again.
10:46Anyway, it's about time the young man came in for his appointment.
10:51Oh?
10:53I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him walk through that door at any moment now.
10:58In order to fill up the balloon, we had to carry ropes high up into the trees
11:02and then hoist the balloon into place over the fire.
11:05Huck and me volunteered to do it, because we climb trees better than anybody.
11:11Hey, Tom.
11:12That'll do it right there.
11:14Oh, Huck.
11:15Hey, Huck.
11:16That's far enough.
11:18Now just wrap the rope around the limb like I showed you.
11:21Okay, start pulling her up easy.
11:24Okay, go.
11:26Easy.
11:27Don't rush it.
11:29And make sure you keep it even.
11:34Good.
11:34You're both doing fine.
11:36Just keep pulling down evenly.
11:38It was a big job, but we were taking the first step to get the balloon a-flying again,
11:43and I couldn't wait,
11:44and neither could Huck from the way he was working.
11:47One thing's for certain.
11:49Pulling that big old balloon up was mighty hard work.
11:52To lighten my load,
11:54I pretended I was pulling in the biggest catfish ever caught along the Mississippi,
11:58and that made it a little easier.
12:00Then Huck, for all his straining,
12:03managed to yell at me from the other tree,
12:05saying he thought the balloon was shaped like a funny-looking pumpkin,
12:08and I guess I had to agree.
12:10For me, though,
12:12that balloon was an opportunity for the adventure of a lifetime.
12:16I just knowed in my bones that sometime real soon,
12:19I was going to realize what it was like to fly as free as the birds,
12:23and that just set my heart a-thumping.
12:26Tom, tie her down right there.
12:28Huck, that's good.
12:36When you finish, come on down.
12:37Huck, be sure to make the knots good and tight.
12:39Well, we're ready to fix it.
12:41Yay!
13:01Hey, Arthur, how about flying her now?
13:03Well, we've got to fill her up with warm air first,
13:05and you can help me out.
13:06Everybody scatter and try to find as much firewood as you can.
13:10Sure, sir!
13:10Coming right up, Ben, I'll help you.
13:19You're about to go out.
13:47You're certainly binding him up carefully.
13:49You really think so?
13:50Arthur, if it's too tight, let me know.
13:52It's fine.
13:54How are the repairs coming on the balloon?
13:55Is it ready to fly yet?
13:57I can't tell yet.
13:58The kids just started a bonfire to fill the balloon up with some hot air.
14:03I would imagine they're all extremely eager to help.
14:06Especially since I'd promised I'd take them all up for a ride.
14:09There, that should do it.
14:10Dr. Mitchell, I'm finished bandaging.
14:13Well, let's take a look.
14:14That's fine.
14:16Well, thank you very much, Dr. Mitchell.
14:18I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you've done for me since I landed here.
14:22Not so fast.
14:23I want to see you again tomorrow.
14:25That wound could still get infected.
14:27Right.
14:28Very well.
14:29Till tomorrow.
14:32Well, I guess I'll see you again tomorrow.
14:35I have to go back out to Cardiff Hill now.
14:37Good day.
14:41Take care.
14:47Mary, I don't think we're going to have any more patients today.
14:50So why don't you take the rest of the day off?
14:52Huh?
14:53Do it.
14:54I won't mind.
14:55He is going away soon, you know.
15:12Arthur, Arthur, wait for me.
15:17If you think you'd enjoy it, Mary, you can come along for a ride, too.
15:22Oh, I'd like to, Arthur.
15:23Really, I would.
15:24I'm too frightened.
15:25There's nothing to be afraid of.
15:27I'll ride with you in the balloon.
15:29But to be so high up in the air, the very thought frightens me to death.
15:34Isn't there anything I can say to change your mind?
15:37I'm afraid not.
15:42Hey, Huck, bring a couple more pieces of wood, will you?
15:45You got it, Tom.
15:53Huck, careful.
15:54If we caught the balloon on fire, we'd really be in trouble.
15:57Sorry.
15:58We want to fill the balloon with hot air so it can rise, but we don't want to burn it
16:02up.
16:02I don't get how that makes it fly.
16:04Physics, remember?
16:06Whatever that is.
16:07Hey, Huck, I got a question for you.
16:10If Arthur gets this thing flying today, would you be afraid to go up in it?
16:14Hmm.
16:14Your darn toot might be afraid.
16:16Wouldn't you be, too?
16:17Not at all.
16:18Ha!
16:19Listen to the big daredevil here.
16:21Oh, yeah?
16:22I'm not afraid.
16:23I bet Becky wouldn't want to go up in that thing.
16:27I wouldn't want to go up by myself, but if others went, I would.
16:31Oh?
16:31Who do you want to go with you?
16:33Well, Thomas, maybe?
16:40Ah!
16:42Phew!
16:42That was close.
16:44How many people do you figure can ride in this thing, Tom?
16:47I don't know.
16:48It would depend on how big the people were and how much they weighed, wouldn't it?
16:52That makes a lot of sense, but somehow it just doesn't seem possible to me that heating up the air
16:57inside the balloon could lift anybody very high at all.
17:01Doesn't make sense, but it's true.
17:04Let's add a little more kindling to the fire.
17:06Oh, that's plenty of kindling, Tom.
17:08After all, don't you remember Arthur saying not to make the fire too big?
17:12I'm not making it too big, and didn't Arthur put me in charge?
17:16Reckon that's true, Ben.
17:18Tom would be the last one to want anything to happen to it.
17:21You can bet the farm on that.
17:25Hey, look, everybody.
17:27Arthur's coming.
17:27Looks like your cousin's coming with him, Tom.
17:33Arthur, look, there's a whole crowd of children gathered around the balloon.
17:36And look at the fire they've started and all that firewood.
17:39It sure didn't take them long to do everything I told them.
17:42Isn't it wonderful?
17:43They all must have worked very hard to get everything ready so quickly.
17:48I've got to admit, it looks like the balloon is in very good shape.
17:51I'd better get on over there and tell them what to do next.
17:58Hey, everybody, how's it going?
18:03From the looks of things, you've all done a great job.
18:06Gee, thanks.
18:07That fire's just the right size.
18:09Pretty good, huh?
18:11How long before we get to take her up?
18:14Hmm.
18:16Doesn't look like there are any leaks or holes.
18:19When I'm sure she's sound.
18:20But right now, it doesn't look like there'll be any problem at all.
18:24Well then, Arthur, let's take her up for a test run right now.
18:28Not so fast.
18:29Let's keep the fire going and the balloon inflated.
18:32And if everything works as well as it has so far, we might fly her tomorrow.
18:35What?
18:36We can fly tomorrow?
18:37Mm-hmm.
18:39Fire!
18:40Fire!
18:40Fire!
18:41Fire!
18:42Fire!
18:42Just wait a minute, everybody.
18:43Hold on a second now.
18:44You have to keep the fire burning and also keep a close eye on the tie-down ropes.
18:49Otherwise, this balloon will fly off and there'll be no rides for anyone.
18:52Mary!
18:53Mary!
18:54Did you hear that?
18:56Isn't that great news?
18:59We can go up flying tomorrow.
19:01Just because the balloon is ready to fly doesn't necessarily mean you'll be riding in it.
19:06Why not?
19:07Mama won't let you.
19:08Then I'll just ride without telling her anything about it.
19:11But I won't let you fly either.
19:13But why, Mary?
19:15You might be injured or killed.
19:16Arthur's going up in the balloon too.
19:18Don't you care whether he gets killed or not?
19:22Don't worry, Mary.
19:24Good gosh, a balloon doesn't crash land like a rock.
19:27I know you're concerned about me, but I just gotta.
19:31I will not approve of your going up in that balloon.
19:34Huh?
19:34I don't want to hear any more about it.
19:36I don't care whether you approve or not.
19:38I'm going up anyway.
19:40You hear me?
19:41Now you listen to me, young man.
19:42Wait, Tom!
20:01You!
20:01Excuse me.
20:18Ah, Mr. Connor, come on in.
20:21I know it was a far piece.
20:22I appreciate you coming in so quickly.
20:24I came as soon as I got your message, Sheriff.
20:26What can I do for you?
20:27Well, sir, the reason I called you in is this.
20:34It's been brought to my attention.
20:36You plan on flying your balloon tomorrow.
20:40I'd appreciate it if you'd reconsider.
20:42What's that?
20:44I'm asking you not to fly that balloon tomorrow.
20:47I want you to keep it tied down until the army officials arrive to take it away.
20:52But why?
20:53What's wrong with flying the balloon?
20:56I'm ashamed to say it, but the fact of the matter is, well, the folks in St. Pete believe that
21:03flying's the work of the devil.
21:05That's ridiculous.
21:07Maybe so, Mr. O'Connor.
21:09But remember, St. Pete's a mighty small town, and the idea of a man flying around in the air is
21:14mighty hard for people to swallow if you catch them adrift.
21:17But I'm just a man like anyone else.
21:19Anybody can see that.
21:21Maybe not anybody.
21:23Truth of the matter is, folks around here aren't sure what you are, Mr. O'Connor.
21:27Nonsense.
21:29A kidnapper.
21:30Huh?
21:30That's what some folks think you are.
21:32That you're after their children.
21:33Uh, Sheriff, I assure you, I'm no kidnapper.
21:38Frankly, sir, I don't know what to think.
21:40But how could you even suspect me?
21:42I haven't done anything.
21:44Well, didn't you tell a lot of the kids you'd take them up for a ride in the balloon?
21:49Yes, but I...
21:49Well, if a strong wind comes up and you lose control, what happens then?
21:53I don't believe that could happen, Sheriff Collins.
21:56Come on, Mr. O'Connor, you can't be sure of that.
21:59You're the one who's blown all the way here from Chicago because you had no way of steering or guiding
22:04that balloon.
22:06No denying that now, is there?
22:08Besides which, I have no way of knowing whether or not you're telling the truth, do I?
22:13I am.
22:16You are not going to fly that balloon.
22:19And furthermore, sir, you are not to allow the children to go anywhere near it.
22:25That ought to hold it.
22:28Everything set now, we'll be ready to fly tomorrow.
22:30I might go along after all.
22:33Huck, I can't think of anyone I'd rather fly with.
22:36Hey, there's Arthur.
22:37Arthur!
22:43He's all set to fly tomorrow, Arthur.
22:45Huck says he wants to go, too.
22:47Go and fetch some buckets of water.
22:49We have to extinguish the fire at once.
22:51You mean we're all through testing it?
22:54We're not going to fly it at all.
22:56That's what I mean.
22:57What?
22:58You heard me.
23:02Put out the fire.
23:04I won't be taking her up tomorrow, Tom.
23:06In fact, I may never fly her again.
23:09But, Arthur!
23:11A couple of days ago, I'd never even seen a hot air balloon, so I didn't know what I was
23:16missing.
23:16Now all I could think about was flying like a bird.
23:19But it looks like I've missed my one and only chance.
23:47I thought tomorrow I was going to be soaring through the air.
23:51So, higher than the highest cloud.
23:54Instead, it looks like it's going to be the lowest day of my life.
24:02The lowest day of my life is going to be the lowest day of my life.
24:07If we're not going to fly, we're going to fly it at all.
24:08Hey, Huck.
24:09Let's fly it at the sky.
24:12What?
24:13I'm fine.
24:14Next time, Tom Sawyer's冒険, the 37th episode.
24:18The view of the空 from the sky.
24:19Look at it.
24:30me
24:35me

24:38me
24:42me
24:48Oh
24:49We were
24:54You
25:13So, it's time to go, I'll go to the sea
25:22And I'll go to the sea
25:23I won't let you go, I'll go to the sea
