Cocoon Abadas

Hey, Abadas!

ALL: Hello, Ben! Come and play with us and...

# We'll have a...

# Abadaba shoobedowah Abadaba play today

# Abadaba shoobedowah Abadaba play today

# Play today. #

We want to play.

I wonder where they're playing today.

They're in the house.

-Aba-do-bee-dee wee-hee!

-Ha-ha-ha.

Would everyone, please, take their seats?

-Hello, I'm Ela Wonderwand. Welcome to my magic show.

-Aba-doo-bee-dee.

I love magic.

Oh, wait, Ela, where's Seren?

For my first trick, I will need a member of the audience. Hari?

Ah! Me?

Will you touch the wand, please?

-Ah!

-# Ta-da. #

-Wow.

-How did you do that?

-It's a secret.

-Thank you, Hari.

-Ha-ha.

-For my next trick.

-Ooh.

As you can see, this hat is empty, isn't it, Hari?

Err. Oh. Yes.

Or is it?

Abracadabra and aba-doo-bee-dee.

-# Ha-ah! #

-Hooray. Ben, did you see that?

Yes. Well done, Ela Wonderwand.

And now that the show's over, how about a game?

-It's your favourite.

-ALL: It's the word game. Come and play with us.

# You opened up the book and found us three

# It's time to play the word game You and me

# Listen to the word then spot and see

# Match the words and objects Help us three

# Let's play. #

Ready?

I've got a brand-new Abada word

and you have to guess what it looks like.

The word is cocoon.

Cocoon! Cocoon!

Cocoon.

Co-cooon, co-cooon.

-We love that word but what is it for?

-Would you like a clue?

ALL: Oh, yes, please, Ben.

A cocoon is like a little house for a butterfly.

Ah! Oh.

I wish I could fly like a butterfly.

I can, aba-doo-bee-dee.

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

-Would you like another clue?

-ALL: Yes, please.

-The butterfly grows in the cocoon before it can fly.

-ALL: Ooh.

So, if it's a house for a butterfly to grow inside,

where do you think you'll find one?

In the house?

-I don't think so.

-Oh.

In the sea?

You don't see lots of butterflies at the seaside.

But I've seen butterflies in the garden.

-Yes, well done, Ela.

-ALL: Yey! Go, go, Abadas!

The Abadas think that they will find the cocoon in the garden.

But which Abada would be the best one to find the cocoon?

# My name is Seren I can fly up high

# Up past the trees and towards the sky

# I hang topsy-turvy in the night and day

# Fly right down when it's time to play

# My name is Hari, I like to swim

# I dive down deep, I see everything

# That lives in the seabed

# Or on the shore

# Swimming and playing is what I adore

# My name is Ela with a special nose

# Where it will lead me, nobody knows

# I can smell all the things that you can't always see

# I love my nose, it's a part of me

# Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way!

# Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! #

MUSIC STOPS

-Seren.

-Me?

-Yes, you can fly.

Just like a pretty butterfly.

Good choice, Abadas.

Seren, who can fly like a butterfly,

is the best Abada to find the cocoon.

Flipperty-flapperty, here I come.

Woo-hoo.

Ha-ha-ha.

Flipperty-flapperty. Woo!

Hi, from up high.

Woo, woo, woo!

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

# Ta-da! # Ha-ha-ha.

Aba-doo-bee-dee.

Weeee!

Where's she gone?

Everyone wishes they could fly like me. # Ta-da. #

Oh, what's this? A little house.

Hello-lo-lo?

Argh, argh.

Phew! It's a bit of a squeeze.

Oh, I've found the cocoon. But there's no butterfly here, is there?

That's a tree house, a place for children to play.

A house?

High in the treetops.

Yes, but it's too big for a butterfly's cocoon.

-But how do children get up here?

-They use the ladder. Look.

-Ah.

-TWEET TWEET

Hm. What's that noise?

Ooh, what's this?

It's much smaller than the tree house and much cosier.

Ah! I know what this is. It's a nest.

That's right, Seren.

And a little bird has laid its egg in it.

The bird's chick will grow inside the egg,

a little bit like a butterfly in a cocoon.

Hmm.

Aba-doo-bee-dee.

Woah!

Oh! What's this funny-looking thing?

It's moving. Is it alive?

-Yes, it is. Look.

-Ah!

Ben, Ben, look at this. I think I've found it.

-Ooh.

-Yes, Seren, well done, you've found a cocoon and a butterfly.

Hello, butterfly, you've left the cocoon.

And now, you've got a brand-new home. The garden!

Well done, Seren.

# I found the word It was there all along

# The word is cocoon!

# And now that word is in my song

# Ba-ba shobedowah. #

# Na-na-na, na-na-na, nah! #

-He-he-he.

-Ha-ha-ha.

He-he. Can't catch me.

I'm back in the boo-ok.

-Woo. Woo-hoo. Woo.

-Is it a bird?

-Or is it a plane?

-No, it's Super Seren.

-Hi, from up high.

-Ha-ha.

You'll never believe what I've found.

Did you find the cocoon?

It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw.

Tell us, tell us.

-I found a little house first.

-The cocoon?

No, it was a tree house and far too big for a butterfly.

-What's a tree house?

-It was a playhouse, high in the treetop.

Oooh.

Then I found something small and snugly.

Snugly-wugly. Ha-ha.

-The cocoon?

-No, a little nest for a bird to lay its eggs.

-Ah!

Then, an amazing thing happened.

-Ah!

-Wow.

-Wow. Oh.

Ah!

-Wow.

-He-he-he.

What a lovely, pop-out surprise, Seren. Thank you.

Abracadabra and aba-doo-bee-dee.

Well done, Seren, you've found the cocoon.

You really are amazing, Abadas. It's time for me to go now.

We had fun today, didn't we?

ALL: Oh, yes, we did!

# It's time to say goodbye It was great to play

# Shoo-doo-up-up Shoo-doo-up-up

# Come back and see us once again some day

# Abadas, Abadas

# Some day. #

-Goodbye, Hari.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Seren.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Ela.

-Bye-bye.

-See you soon.

Ben! >
