| 0:07.0 | My name is Emma. I'm from Fumifesto, a makeup story, Tell your friends. |
| 0:27.7 | I am Greta and I'm five years old. |
| 0:31.8 | I live in Adelaide, Australia. |
| 0:42.3 | And I would love a story about magic gems, a koala, and a treasure chest. Thank you. Hello and welcome to MakeDup. I'm your host, Amanda. This is the second part of a two-part story. If you haven't listened to part one, |
| 0:56.7 | you should go back and listen to Greta and the Heart of the Forest Part 1 now. We hope you |
| 1:03.0 | enjoy the story. When we left off, Trellin, the guardian of the forest, had told Greta about the heart of the forest gem, |
| 1:12.8 | which each guardian of the forest, koala, had grown in their pouch for millions of years, |

| 2:00.9 | Trelin had tried to speak with the dwarves to explain the delicate balance they were upsetting, |
| 2:06.5 | but like most grown-ups, they were set in their ways and too focused on their worries and the |
| 2:11.7 | task at hand to recognize that a tired old koala was trying to tell them something. |
| 2:18.1 | Trelin needed a thoughtful child like Greta to appeal to the dwarves |
| 2:22.1 | and convince them to stop mining the gems. |
| 2:26.4 | Greta thought that it would be hard to convince the dwarves |
| 2:29.3 | since they so loved their work and loved the heart of the forest gems, |
