0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hello.- Hello.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03My name is...

0:01:07 > 0:01:08And my name is...

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Look at what my hands can do.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23It's a boat and it's as green as a pea.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Adventure beckons, where shall we go?

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Come on, Ashley, shall we set sail?

0:01:34 > 0:01:40Oh, wow, the world is very big and there are so many places to go.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Where would you like to go?

0:01:44 > 0:01:48We could go to Timbuktu, the city of gold.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Or we could paddle down the Ganges

0:01:51 > 0:01:55and wave hello to the elephants in the jungle.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58I'm not sure where I would go.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03I think I would sail away for a year and a day and see where I ended up.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Let's set sail and explore with Edward Lear's poem,

0:02:14 > 0:02:16The Owl And The Pussycat.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Are you ready?

0:02:37 > 0:02:43Oh, the seaside. How lovely. I really fancy an ice cream.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50The owl and the pussycat went to sea

0:02:53 > 0:02:55In a beautiful pea-green boat

0:03:01 > 0:03:05They took some honey and plenty of money,

0:03:05 > 0:03:08wrapped up in a five-pound note

0:03:12 > 0:03:19The owl looked up to the stars above and sang to a small guitar

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Oh, lovely Pussy, oh, Pussy, my love,

0:03:27 > 0:03:29what a beautiful pussy you are

0:03:30 > 0:03:35You are, you are. What a beautiful pussy you are.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Pussy said to the owl,

0:03:52 > 0:03:56"You elegant fowl, how charmingly sweet you seem."

0:04:00 > 0:04:05Oh, let us be married, too long we have tarried

0:04:08 > 0:04:11But what shall we do for a ring?

0:04:12 > 0:04:17They sailed away for a year and a day

0:04:19 > 0:04:22To the land where the bong tree grows

0:04:24 > 0:04:27And there, in a wood, a piggy-wig stood

0:04:30 > 0:04:33With a ring at the end of his nose

0:04:33 > 0:04:37His nose, his nose

0:04:37 > 0:04:39With a ring at the end of his nose.

0:04:47 > 0:04:54Dear Pig, are you willing to sell, for one shilling, your ring?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Said the piggy, "I will."

0:04:57 > 0:04:58So they took it away

0:04:58 > 0:05:04and were married next day by the turkey who lives on the hill

0:05:08 > 0:05:10They dined on mince

0:05:10 > 0:05:15and slices of quince which they ate with a runcible spoon

0:05:20 > 0:05:25And, hand-in-hand, on the edge of the sand,

0:05:25 > 0:05:28they danced by the light of the moon

0:05:32 > 0:05:35The moon, the moon

0:05:35 > 0:05:38They danced by the light of the moon.

0:05:44 > 0:05:50That was fun. And what a beautiful wedding.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55Have you ever wished you could create your own best friend?

0:05:55 > 0:06:00My imaginary friend would eat all my vegetables for me.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, my imaginary best friend would own a cake shop but

0:06:05 > 0:06:10we wouldn't sell any cakes because we'd gobble them all up ourselves.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Well, my best friend would have the biggest toy-car collection

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- in the universe...- Er...

0:06:16 > 0:06:21Wait, wait, this all reminds me of a poem by Lewis Carroll.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23And it's called My Fancy.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Aimee, are you ready?

0:06:29 > 0:06:30Are you guys ready?

0:06:43 > 0:06:49I painted her a gushing thing with years about a score

0:06:52 > 0:06:57I little thought to find there were at least a dozen more

0:07:00 > 0:07:04My fancy gave her eyes of blue

0:07:04 > 0:07:06A curly auburn head

0:07:09 > 0:07:15I came to find the blue a green, the auburn turned to red.

0:07:23 > 0:07:29She boxed my ears this morning, they tingled very much

0:07:29 > 0:07:33I own that I could wish her a somewhat lighter touch

0:07:38 > 0:07:42And if you ask me how her charms might be improved

0:07:42 > 0:07:46I would not have them added to but just a few removed!

0:07:58 > 0:08:01She has a bear's ethereal grace

0:08:07 > 0:08:09The bland hyena's laugh

0:08:15 > 0:08:17The footstep of the elephant

0:08:21 > 0:08:24The neck of a giraffe

0:08:27 > 0:08:30I love her still, believe me,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33though my heart its passion hides

0:08:35 > 0:08:41"She's all my fancy painted her," but, oh, how much besides.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55She seemed like a really cheeky friend.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Do you have an imaginary friend too? What are they like?

0:08:59 > 0:09:03I hope they're nice and a lot of fun - a bit like me!

0:09:03 > 0:09:08Why don't you paint a picture of your ideal imaginary friend?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Are they tall or short?

0:09:11 > 0:09:16Do they have green hair and a big nose?

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Having an imaginary friend is OK

0:09:18 > 0:09:23but having a friend in real life is so much better.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24Like us!

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Bye.- Bye.
