| [00:04.39] | Chapter 2 The Race |
| [00:09.27] | The Fram went to an island in the south of Norway. |
| [00:14.77] | It was a very little island, |
| [00:17.40] | with only one small wooden house, |
| [00:20.56] | two trees-and nearly a hundred dogs. |
| [00:26.57] | 'Look at that!'Bjaaland said. |
| [00:30.73] | 'It's an island of dogs! |
| [00:33.62] | There are dogs in the water, |
| [00:35.94] | near the trees,on the house-dogs everywhere!' |
| [00:42.36] | Two men came out of the house. |
| [00:45.68] | 'Hassel!Lindstrom!'Amundsen said. |
| [00:50.60] | 'It's good to see you! |
| [00:53.19] | How many dogs do you have for me?' |
| [00:56.25] | 'Ninety-nine,Roald,'said Hassel. |
| [00:59.80] | 'The best ninety-nine dogs from Greenland. |
| [01:03.66] | And they're very happy! |
| [01:06.06] | They don't work; |
| [01:07.53] | they just eat and play all day! |
| [01:11.27] | They're having a wonderful summer here!' |
| [01:14.85] | 'Good,good.'Amundsen laughed. |
| [01:18.47] | 'But that's finished now. |
| [01:20.94] | Hey,Bjaaland!Stop laughing-come down here and help me. |
| [01:27.41] | Let's get all these dogs onto the ship!' |
| [01:32.38] | It was not easy. |
| [01:34.55] | The dogs were fat and strong, |
| [01:37.43] | and they didn't want to go on the ship. |
| [01:40.85] | But at last,after three hours'hard work, |
| [01:46.05] | all ninety-nine were on the ship, |
| [01:49.56] | and the Fram went out to sea again. |
| [01:54.57] | The men were not happy. |
| [01:57.34] | The weather was bad,the dogs were dirty, |
| [02:01.57] | and some of the men were ill. |
| [02:05.19] | They began to ask questions. |
| [02:08.60] | 'Why are we bringing dogs with us?' |
| [02:12.03] | asked one man,Jo- hansen. |
| [02:14.96] | 'We're going thousands of kilometres south, |
| [02:17.95] | past Cape Horn,and then north to Alaska. |
| [02:22.43] | Why not wait,and get dogs in Alaska?' |
| [02:28.06] | 'Don't ask me,'said his friend, |
| [02:30.93] | Helmer Hanssen,'I don't understand it.' |
| [02:35.81] | The men talked for a long time. |
| [02:39.65] | Then,on September 9th, |
| [02:42.83] | Amundsen called everyone to the back of the ship. |
| [02:47.10] | He stood quietly and looked at them. |
| [02:51.21] | Behind him was a big map. |
| [02:54.81] | It was not a map of the Arctic. |
| [02:58.46] | It was a map of Antarctica. |
| [03:02.71] | Bjaaland looked at Helmer Hanssen,and laughed. |
| [03:07.65] | Then Amundsen began to speak. |
| [03:12.44] | 'Boys,'he said.'I know you are unhappy. |
| [03:18.10] | You often ask me difficult questions, |
| [03:21.34] | and I don't answer. |
| [03:24.49] | Well,I'm going to answer all those questions now,today. |
| [03:32.69] | We began to work for this journey two years ago. |
| [03:37.72] | Then,we wanted to be the first men at the North Pole. |
| [03:44.02] | But last year,Peary,an American, |
| [03:48.15] | found the North Pole. |
| [03:51.05] | So America was first to the North Pole,not Norway. |
| [03:58.43] | We're going there,but we're too late.' |
| [04:03.03] | 'I don't understand this,'Bjaaland thought. |
| [04:08.26] | 'Why is Amundsen talking about the North Pole, |
| [04:12.71] | with a map of Antarctica behind him?' |
| [04:16.43] | Amundsen stopped for a minute, |
| [04:20.71] | and looked at all the men slowly. |
| [04:24.70] | No one said anything. |
| [04:28.78] | 'We have to go a long way south before we get to Alaska,' |
| [04:34.65] | he said.'Very near Antarctica,you know. |
| [04:40.61] | And Captain Scott,the Englishman, |
| [04:44.38] | is going to the South Pole this year. |
| [04:48.44] | He wants to put his British flag there. |
| [04:52.41] | An American flag at the North Pole, |
| [04:55.64] | a British flag at the South Pole.' |
| [04:59.90] | Bjaaland began to understand. |
| [05:04.19] | He started to smile and couldn't stop. |
| [05:08.21] | He was warm and excited. |
| [05:11.54] | 'Well,boys,'Amundsen said slowly. |
| [05:17.42] | 'Do we want the British to put their flag at the South Pole first? |
| [05:23.06] | How fast can we travel? |
| [05:26.56] | We have a lot of dogs, |
| [05:28.69] | and some of the most wonderful skiers on earth- |
| [05:33.20] | Bjaaland here is the best in Norway! |
| [05:37.81] | So I have an idea,boys. |
| [05:42.07] | Let's go to the South Pole, |
| [05:46.26] | and put the Norwegian flag there before the British! |
| [05:52.16] | What do you say?' |
| [05:56.03] | For a minute or two it was very quiet. |
| [06:00.96] | Amundsen waited, |
| [06:03.33] | and the men watched him and thought. |
| [06:07.28] | Then Bjaaland laughed. |
| [06:10.18] | 'Yes!'he said.'Why not? |
| [06:14.16] | It's a ski race,isn't it,and the English can't ski! |
| [06:19.55] | It's a wonderful idea,of course!Let's go!' |

| [00:42.36] | Two men came out of the house |
| [00:45.68] | ' Hassel! Lindstrom!' Amundsen said |
| [00:50.60] | ' It' s good to see you! |
| [00:53.19] | How many dogs do you have for me?' |
| [00:56.25] | ' Ninetynine, Roald,' said Hassel |
