Stella and Sam
Kite Knight/Trip to China
S1 E6:
Stella and Sam venture downstairs in the dead of night to search for Fred, and a missing kite. As bedtime approaches, Stella and Sam reflect on their fun filled day of kite flying. Fred liked it too, but never got to enjoy the satisfaction of catching the kite to wrestle with it. It's an obsession that creeps into his doggy dreams. When Sam wakes up during the night and finds Fred missing from his bed, he asks Stella to lead a search downstairs. With Stella's help, Sam gets used to the strange shadows and odd noises that pervade their house at night. In the end, kite debris leads the kids to the where abouts of Fred./Stella's school project inspires a faraway quest to see a Chinese Dragon. Stella and Felix create a colourful school project about China. It fascinates Sam. Especially the picture of a Chinese Dragon. Sam wants to see a real one and Stella is more than happy to make it happen. She loads everyone into Dad's rowboat and off they go to the far side of the world. Beyond a bamboo forest, the kids stand atop the Great Wall of China. Much to Sam's surprise and delight, a Chinese Dragon approaches through the mountain mist. Felix invites Stella and Sam to join him beneath his improvised dragon costume and the trio of friends weave and wind their way home across the meadow.
