0:00:05 > 0:00:11Hello! Come on, everybody, take a seat.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Wow!
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Woo!
0:00:14 > 0:00:15BOTH: Hello!
0:00:15 > 0:00:19- BOTH:- Hello!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Wiggle your fingers and cross your feet.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Are you ready?
0:00:26 > 0:00:31One, two, three, watch me.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Four, five, six, I've got some tricks.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Seven, eight, nine, it's almost time.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Ten!
0:00:43 > 0:00:44ALL: Magic hands!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48# Just look at my magic
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# My magic hands
0:00:51 > 0:00:54# Make your fingers super-duper. #
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Magic Hands!
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- BOTH:- Hello!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03My name is...
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And my name is...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Look at what my hands can do!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It's William Shakespeare.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Ooh!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25So, what are we going to do today?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And why is Shakespeare surrounded by trees?
0:01:28 > 0:01:33That's because today's play is set in a forest.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35It's written by William Shakespeare
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and it's called As You Like it.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42We start with a group of friends
0:01:42 > 0:01:44who have left the castle
0:01:44 > 0:01:46and are camping together,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48among the trees.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Are you ready?
0:02:06 > 0:02:12Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16are not these woods more free from peril
0:02:16 > 0:02:18than the envious court?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Here, feel we but the icy fang
0:02:33 > 0:02:37and churlish chiding of the winter's wind...
0:02:39 > 0:02:44..which, when it bites and blows upon my body,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47even till I shrink with cold,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I smile and say, "This is no flattery,
0:02:51 > 0:02:55"these are counsellors that feelingly persuade me what I am."
0:02:57 > 0:02:58And this,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01our life exempt from public haunt,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03finds tongues in trees...
0:03:04 > 0:03:07..books in the running brooks...
0:03:10 > 0:03:13..sermons in stones,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and good in everything.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I would not change it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Isn't that great?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I love having adventures outside with a nice campfire,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31when there's a chilly wind blowing.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Next, we're hearing about a fool,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39a man whose job it was to make people laugh
0:03:39 > 0:03:44though, often, fools were clever and only pretending to be foolish.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48A fool, a fool!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I met a fool in the forest.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54"Good morrow, fool," quoth I.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01And then he drew a dial from his poke
0:04:01 > 0:04:02and, looking on it
0:04:02 > 0:04:05with lacklustre eye,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07says, very wisely...
0:04:08 > 0:04:09"It's ten o'clock.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16"Thus we may see," quoth he,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18"how the world wags.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22"'Tis but an hour ago
0:04:22 > 0:04:24since it was nine..
0:04:26 > 0:04:29"..and after one hour more
0:04:29 > 0:04:31"'twill be 11.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38"And so, from hour to hour,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40"we ripe and ripe.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45"And then, from hour to hour,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47"we rot and rot...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51"..and thereby hangs a tale."
0:05:03 > 0:05:06What a lovely, colourful hat!
0:05:06 > 0:05:07I'd like one for myself.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08You would?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Right!
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I'd decided you've all been cast in our next scene.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Get yourselves ready.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Come on!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32All the world's a stage...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37..and all the men and women
0:05:37 > 0:05:39merely players.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47They have their exits
0:05:47 > 0:05:48and their entrances...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53..and one man, in his time,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55plays many parts...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01..his acts being seven ages.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11At first the infant,
0:06:11 > 0:06:12mewling and puking,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14in the nurse's arms.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21And then the whining schoolboy,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23with his satchel
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and shining morning face,
0:06:25 > 0:06:26creeping like snail
0:06:26 > 0:06:28unwillingly to school.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41And then the lover,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43sighing like furnace...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47..with a woeful ballad
0:06:47 > 0:06:49made to his mistress' eyebrow.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Then a soldier...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57..full of strange oaths
0:06:57 > 0:06:59and bearded like the pard...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04..jealous in honour,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07sudden and quick in quarrel...
0:07:08 > 0:07:10..seeking the bubble reputation...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13..even in the cannon's mouth.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21And then the justice...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25..in fair round belly
0:07:25 > 0:07:26with good capon lined...
0:07:31 > 0:07:32..with eyes severe
0:07:32 > 0:07:35and beard of formal cut...
0:07:36 > 0:07:37..full of wise saws
0:07:37 > 0:07:39and modern instances...
0:07:43 > 0:07:46..and so he plays his part.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52The sixth age shifts
0:07:52 > 0:07:55into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57with spectacles on nose
0:07:57 > 0:08:00and pouch on side,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03his youthful hose, well-saved,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05a world too wide
0:08:05 > 0:08:08for his shrunk shank,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and his big manly voice
0:08:11 > 0:08:12turning again
0:08:12 > 0:08:14toward childish treble...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18..pipes and whistles in his sound.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Last scene of all...
0:08:31 > 0:08:36..that ends this strange eventful history,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40is second childishness and mere oblivion,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42sans teeth,
0:08:42 > 0:08:43sans eyes,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45sans taste,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47sans everything.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55CRAB BLOWS A RASPBERRY
0:08:59 > 0:09:01When I'm an old lady,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'll have pink hair,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I'll use straws to eat my peas
0:09:05 > 0:09:10and I'll get some big glasses that make my eyes look huge!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I, I, I...I'm going to have spiky hair,
0:09:13 > 0:09:14an enormous beard,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17and a big jacket with cool shoulders!
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Focus, Ashley!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Yeah...
0:09:20 > 0:09:24What do you think you'll look like when you're old?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25- BOTH:- Bye-bye!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30ALL: Magic Hands!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33# Just look at my magic
0:09:33 > 0:09:35# My magic hands
0:09:35 > 0:09:38# Make your fingers super-duper. #
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Magic Hands!
