Well Abadas

.

Hey, Abadas!

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

# We'll have a...

# Abadaba shooby-doo-wah

# Abadaba play today!

# Abadaba shooby-doo-wah

# Abadaba play today!

# Play today! #

What are you waiting for?

I wonder where they're playing today.

They're at the seaside.

-Arr!

-Arr!

-Arr!

Now, who will be the first mate in my pirate ship?

Ooh, me, me! Please!

They must be brave and they must do whatever I say,

like burying this treasure so nobody can find it.

Me, Captain! I can bury it.

One, two, three,

-here we go!

-Er...

All right, Hari. You can be my first mate.

And I will be your parrot. Squawk!

There.

I can still see the treasure.

Aw!

It needs to be a very deep hole, Hari.

-Let's dig together.

-Hooray!

-Hee-hee!

-Ha-ha!

-There.

-Well done, crew.

No-one will find our treasure now.

That looks like fun. Would you like to play another fun game now?

ALL: Yes, please!

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.

-Ooh!

And you have to guess what it looks like. The word is...

"well."

Well, well!

Well! We love that word. But what does it look like?

-Would you like a clue?

-ALL: Oh, yes, please, Ben!

A well is somewhere you can find water.

You can find water in the garden, but it's called a pond, not a well.

I love water.

-Would you like another clue?

-ALL: Yes, please!

A well is a hole that goes deep down into the ground.

-Ooh!

-Ah!

So where do you think you'll find a well?

We dug a hole at the seaside. Could it be there?

Sometimes, but that's not where we'll find it today.

What about under the sea?

Ha-ha! You find water IN a well, not all around it.

Aw.

I know. In the countryside. There are lots of places to find water there.

Well done, Ela. You could find a well in the countryside.

ALL: Yay! Go, go, Abadas!

The Abadas think they will find a well in the countryside.

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

# 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 on 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

# Shoodo-wup-up! Shoo-way! Shoodo-wup-up! Shoo-way!

# Shoodo-wup-up! Shoodoo-way! Shoodoo-wup-up! Shoodoo-way! #

-Ela should go.

-Me?

Yes, you're great at digging holes.

Good choice, Abadas.

Ela, who loves to dig, is the best Abada to find the well.

I'm on my way. Wahey!

Woo-hoo!

-Hee-hee!

-Whoa!

Now you see me, now you don't!

Up, up, up, up, up!

Whee!

-Hmm...

-Behind you!

Whee!

I'm in the countryside!

Phew! It's so hot! I need a drink.

Look behind you!

Oh! Water!

This is the well. I knew I would find it.

It's not a well, Ela!

-Isn't it?

-No, it's a trough.

People use them to feed animals. This one has water in it.

So that animals can have a little drink.

Ha! That's just what a hot fox needs.

Oh! Furry fox tails! This water is too warm for me.

SHE SNIFFS

Where could it be?

Hmm, what's that?

Wow. Look! Water!

La-la! La-la-la-la-la!

This water is fur-tastic!

That's a waterfall. A well is a deep hole in the ground, remember?

Oh, yes. I remember. Hello!

Hmm, where can it be?

-This way!

-Careful, Ela!

Ouch! Oh, what's this?

It has a handle.

Around and around and around. Oh! A bucket.

Water! And it has come out of a very deep hole.

Is this the well, Ben?

Yes, it is. Well done, Ela.

But why does this well have a bucket in it?

Wells go deep down into the ground,

so you need a bucket to get the water out safely.

Ooh, that's clever.

Perfect for a hot fox like me.

This well is extra special, Ela.

Is it?

-Yes. If you throw something in, you can make a wish.

-Wow!

Here we go!

SPLASH!

What did you wish for, Ela?

I wished that Hari and Seren could see the well too.

# I found the word It was there all along

# The word is "well"

# And now that word is in my song

# Ba-ba, shooby-doo-wah! #

Abadooby-dee!

Ha-ha-ha!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Maybe you'll catch me next time!

I'm back in the book.

-Hello!

-Ela, you're back.

-Did you find the word?

-Of course I did. I'm fur-tastic.

Tell us all about it, Ela.

Well, it was very hot in the countryside today.

Phew! And I really needed a drink.

Mmm. There's nothing better than cool water on a hot day.

I did find some water, but it wasn't cool.

Was it in the well?

No, it was in a trough. It's a big tub where animals can eat and drink.

-Oh?

-Oh?

-Then I found even more water

-and it went whoosh!

-Whoosh!

-Whoosh!

It was called a waterfall.

Waterfall? Oh.

-Ha-ha-ha!

-Ha-ha!

-But then I found it.

-Really?

-Oh!

-Look! Here it is.

-Wow!

-Wow!

You turn the handle like this around and around and around.

Water!

Ah, lovely and cool. Here, you try.

Mm-mm!

It's my turn now!

-Oh, dear!

-Ha-ha!

-Heh-heh.

Well done, Ela. You found the well.

I'm wiggly happy now.

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

# Shoobi-dabi-abi-aba-bada Shoobi-dabi-abi-aba-bada

# 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!
