In the fourth, when Tabaluga accidentally breaks his alarm clock, he fears he has stopped time, but a stone and a mayfly explain he has not. Arktos kills the mayfly, though, so Death appears under the form of a strange fellow and explains Tabaluga that lives can have different lengths. Still wanting to learn about time, Tabaluga meets the Lion, king of beasts, but the latter believes time is money and you can never have enough of both. That night, Tyrion appears to Tabaluga in a dream and tells him time cannot be bought and that he lacked time himself with his son. Tabaluga's search for knowledge gets interrupted by his friends, who wish more time for everybody, and the four seasons, who sing four songs. With the song of summer, Arktos starts melting, but an amused Tabaluga saves him on the say that the two of them belong together. The dragon later finds a bazaar, where a dealer offers him a watch with 13 hours in exchange for his fire, but the man turns out to be the ungrateful Arktos and Tabaluga passes. He then finds Time in the form of a young woman, and she grants Tabaluga his greatest wish, to dance one more time with Lilli. When the dance is over, Tabaluga realizes that time only stops in dreams and that love is the only thing that can defeat it.
