0:00:05 > 0:00:11Hello! Come on, everybody, take a seat.

0:00:13 > 0:00:14- Wow!- Woo!

0:00:14 > 0:00:16- ALL: Hello!- Hello!

0:00:19 > 0:00:23Wiggle your fingers and cross your feet.

0:00:25 > 0:00:26Are you ready?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Watch me.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35I've got some tricks.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42It's almost time.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Ten!

0:00:43 > 0:00:46ALL: Magic hands!

0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Just look at my magic

0:00:49 > 0:00:50# My magic hands

0:00:50 > 0:00:53# Make your fingers super-duper. #

0:01:00 > 0:01:02BOTH: Hello!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05My name is...

0:01:08 > 0:01:11And my name is...

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Look at what my hands can do.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23He-he-he-he.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27It's full of holes! Do you know what it is?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29It's a sieve.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31There are so many things you can

0:01:31 > 0:01:32do with a sieve.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34You can wear it as a cool cap.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Or put it over your face and pretend

0:01:38 > 0:01:41that you're a famous sword fighter.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Or you could use it to sieve flour

0:01:53 > 0:01:55to make a cake.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yummy.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01But today's poem isn't anything to do with cake.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02That's right.

0:02:02 > 0:02:07In our poem today, some little people use this sieve as a boat.

0:02:09 > 0:02:16The poem is by Edward Lear and it's called The Jumblies.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Are you ready?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38They went to sea in a sieve, they did,

0:02:38 > 0:02:41In a sieve they went to sea,

0:02:45 > 0:02:48In spite of all their friends could say,

0:02:48 > 0:02:51On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,

0:02:53 > 0:02:55In a sieve they went to sea!

0:02:56 > 0:02:59BEEP BEEP TOOT TOOT

0:03:06 > 0:03:10And when the sieve turned round and round,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13And everyone cried, "You'll all be drowned!"

0:03:17 > 0:03:20They called aloud, "Our sieve ain't big,

0:03:20 > 0:03:25"But we don't care a button! We don't care a fig!

0:03:25 > 0:03:28"In a sieve we'll got to sea!"

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Far and few, far and few,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Are the lands where the Jumblies live,

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Their heads are green,

0:03:41 > 0:03:43and their hands are blue,

0:03:43 > 0:03:45And they went to sea in a sieve.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56They sailed away in a sieve, they did,

0:03:56 > 0:04:00In a sieve they sailed so fast,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03With only a beautiful pea-green veil

0:04:03 > 0:04:08Tied with a riband by way of a sail

0:04:08 > 0:04:10To a small tobacco-pipe mast,

0:04:16 > 0:04:20And everyone said, who saw them go,

0:04:20 > 0:04:23"O won't they be soon upset, you know!

0:04:24 > 0:04:29"For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32"And happen what may, it's extremely wrong

0:04:32 > 0:04:36"In a sieve to sail so fast!"

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Far and few, far and few,

0:04:41 > 0:04:45Are the lands where the Jumblies live,

0:04:45 > 0:04:49Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,

0:04:49 > 0:04:51And they went to sea in a sieve.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56The water it soon came in, it did,

0:04:56 > 0:04:58The water it soon came in

0:05:02 > 0:05:04So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet

0:05:04 > 0:05:07In a pinky paper all folded neat,

0:05:07 > 0:05:09And they fastened it down with a pin.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,

0:05:20 > 0:05:23And each of them said, "How wise we are!

0:05:25 > 0:05:30"Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,

0:05:30 > 0:05:33"Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong

0:05:34 > 0:05:37"While round in our sieve we spin!"

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Far and few, far and few,

0:05:42 > 0:05:47Are the lands where the Jumblies live,

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Their heads are green,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51and their hands are blue,

0:05:51 > 0:05:53And they went to sea in a sieve.

0:05:55 > 0:06:00And all night long they sailed away,

0:06:00 > 0:06:02And when the sun went down,

0:06:02 > 0:06:06They whistled and warbled a moony song

0:06:06 > 0:06:09To the echoing sound of a coppery gong

0:06:11 > 0:06:13In the shade of the mountains brown.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19"O Timballo! How happy we are,

0:06:19 > 0:06:21"When we live in a sieve

0:06:21 > 0:06:23"and a crockery-jar,

0:06:24 > 0:06:26"And all night long

0:06:26 > 0:06:30"in the moonlight pale,

0:06:30 > 0:06:35"We sail away with a pea-green sail,

0:06:35 > 0:06:38"In the shade of the mountains brown!"

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Far and few, far and few,

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Are the lands where the Jumblies live,

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Their heads are green,

0:06:51 > 0:06:53and their hands are blue,

0:06:53 > 0:06:56And they went to sea in a sieve.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,

0:07:01 > 0:07:04To a land all covered with trees,

0:07:07 > 0:07:10And they bought an owl

0:07:12 > 0:07:14And a useful cart,

0:07:16 > 0:07:18And a pound of rice,

0:07:20 > 0:07:22And a cranberry tart,

0:07:24 > 0:07:27And a hive of silvery bees.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31And they bought a pig OINK OINK

0:07:31 > 0:07:34and some green jack-daws,

0:07:37 > 0:07:40And a lovely monkey with lollypop paws,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45And 40 bottles of Ring-BoRee,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51And no end of Stilton cheese

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Far and few, far and few,

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Are the lands where the Jumblies live,

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Their heads are green,

0:08:04 > 0:08:06and their hands are blue

0:08:06 > 0:08:08and they went to sea

0:08:08 > 0:08:09in a sieve.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14And in 20 years they all came back,

0:08:14 > 0:08:16In 20 years or more,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20And everyone said,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22"How tall they've grown!"

0:08:24 > 0:08:28For they've been to the Lakes and the Torrible zone,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33And the hills of the Chankly Bore.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40And they drank their health,

0:08:40 > 0:08:43and gave them a feast

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51And everyone said,

0:08:51 > 0:08:52"If we only live,

0:08:52 > 0:08:56"We too will go to sea in a sieve,

0:08:57 > 0:09:00"To the hills of the Chankly Bore!"

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Far and few, far and few,

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Are the lands where the Jumblies live,

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Their heads are green,

0:09:12 > 0:09:14and their hands are blue,

0:09:14 > 0:09:16And they went to sea in a sieve.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21What did you think?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23That was wonderful

0:09:23 > 0:09:25but using a holey sieve as a boat

0:09:25 > 0:09:28probably isn't the best idea

0:09:28 > 0:09:30if you don't want wet feet.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33That's very true.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36It looked like they had fun, though.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Do you want to be like a Jumbly?

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Bye-bye!- Bye!

0:09:51 > 0:09:53ALL: Magic hands!

0:09:55 > 0:09:56# Just look at my magic

0:09:57 > 0:09:59# My magic hands

0:09:59 > 0:10:03# Make your fingers super-duper

0:10:03 > 0:10:04# Magic hands. #

0:58:55 > 0:58:56Magic Hands!
