0:01:15 > 0:01:16What's this then?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19It's a person, but it has wings.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's a fairy.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29It's a fairy from a famous play, written by William Shakespeare.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32It's called A Midsummer Night's Dream.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38The fairy is part of Titania Queen of the fairies' party,

0:01:38 > 0:01:41and she's about to meet an elf

0:01:41 > 0:01:43called Puck.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47He is assistant to Oberon, the King of the fairies,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50who lives in the middle of an enchanted forest.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56I remember this.

0:01:56 > 0:02:02The Queen of the fairies and the King of the fairies are arguing,

0:02:02 > 0:02:05because the Queen has adopted a child.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11The King is angry because he wants the boy.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Let's see what happens.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43How now, spirit,

0:02:43 > 0:02:45wither wander you?

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Over hill...

0:02:49 > 0:02:50..over dale...

0:02:53 > 0:02:54..through bush...

0:02:55 > 0:02:57..through briar...

0:02:59 > 0:03:00..over park...

0:03:01 > 0:03:03..over pale...

0:03:05 > 0:03:07..through flood,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09through fire...

0:03:11 > 0:03:13..I do wander everywhere...

0:03:14 > 0:03:17..swifter than the moon's sphere...

0:03:18 > 0:03:21..and I serve the Fairy Queen,

0:03:21 > 0:03:25to dew her orbs upon the green.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35The King doth keep

0:03:35 > 0:03:37his revels here tonight.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Take heed the Queen

0:03:38 > 0:03:41come not within his sight,

0:03:41 > 0:03:45for Oberon is passing fell and wrath,

0:03:45 > 0:03:49because that she as her attendant hath

0:03:49 > 0:03:51a lovely boy,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54stolen from an Indian King.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01She never had so sweet a changeling...

0:04:04 > 0:04:08..and jealous Oberon would have the child

0:04:08 > 0:04:10knight of his train,

0:04:10 > 0:04:12to trace the forests wild...

0:04:16 > 0:04:20..but she, perforce, withholds the loved boy...

0:04:21 > 0:04:28..crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy,

0:04:28 > 0:04:31and now they never meet in grove or green.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36But, room, fairy!

0:04:36 > 0:04:37Here comes Oberon!

0:04:45 > 0:04:46In the forest

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Puck and the fairies hide,

0:04:49 > 0:04:52as Oberon and Titania meet.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00They are both very cross.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02What's going to happen?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Will there be an almighty fight?

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20What, jealous Oberon!

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Fairies, skip hence -

0:05:22 > 0:05:24I have forsworn his company.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Tarry, rash wanton.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Am not I thy lord?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Why should Titania cross her Oberon?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I do but beg a little changeling boy

0:05:42 > 0:05:44to be my henchman.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Set your heart at rest.

0:05:50 > 0:05:51The fairy land buys not

0:05:51 > 0:05:53the child of me.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59His mother was a votaress of my order

0:05:59 > 0:06:04and, in the spiced Indian air, by night,

0:06:04 > 0:06:07full often hath she gossiped by my side

0:06:07 > 0:06:11and sat with me on Neptune's yellow sands...

0:06:14 > 0:06:17..when we have laughed to see the sails conceive

0:06:17 > 0:06:20and grow big-bellied with the wanton wind...

0:06:24 > 0:06:29..which she, with pretty and with swimming gait following,

0:06:29 > 0:06:33her womb then rich with my young squire, would imitate

0:06:33 > 0:06:35and sail upon the land

0:06:35 > 0:06:37to fetch me trifles,

0:06:37 > 0:06:41and return again, as from a voyage,

0:06:41 > 0:06:43rich with merchandise.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48But she, being mortal,

0:06:48 > 0:06:50of that boy did die,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52and for her sake

0:06:52 > 0:06:54do I rear up her boy.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56And for her sake

0:06:56 > 0:06:58I will not part with him.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06So, Titania is refusing to give the little boy to Oberon

0:07:06 > 0:07:10because he was the child of her best friend

0:07:10 > 0:07:12and she wants to look after him.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Being a Fairy King, though,

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Oberon doesn't take "no" for an answer.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23He's hatched a sneaky plan

0:07:23 > 0:07:26and has had his assistant, Puck,

0:07:26 > 0:07:27cast a magical spell

0:07:27 > 0:07:31to make the Fairy Queen fall in love with Bottom,

0:07:31 > 0:07:35a man who's head has been turned into a donkey!

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I must to the barber's, monsieur,

0:07:48 > 0:07:53for methinks I am marvellous hairy about the face,

0:07:53 > 0:07:57and I am such a tender ass,

0:07:57 > 0:08:00if my hair do but tickle me

0:08:00 > 0:08:01I must scratch.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Sweet love,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11what thou desirest to eat?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Methinks I have a great desire

0:08:15 > 0:08:17to a bottle of hay -

0:08:17 > 0:08:18good hay,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20sweet hay.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Sleep, thou,

0:08:23 > 0:08:26and I will wind thee in my arms.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Fairies, begone,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29and be all ways away.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31So doth the woodbine,

0:08:31 > 0:08:32the sweet honeysuckle,

0:08:32 > 0:08:34gently entwist.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36The female ivy so enrings

0:08:36 > 0:08:39the barky fingers of the elm.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Oh, how I love thee!

0:08:43 > 0:08:45How I dote on thee!

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Oh, no!

0:08:55 > 0:08:58If Titania has fallen in love with Bottom,

0:08:58 > 0:09:01what will become of the little boy?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, there is a happy ending.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Oberon feels bad for playing pranks on Titania,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12and decides to undo the magic spell...

0:09:13 > 0:09:15..and Titania is so grateful

0:09:15 > 0:09:20she agrees they can look after the little boy together.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26So the three of them all live happily ever after.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28How lovely!

0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Bye!- Bye-Bye!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Magic Hands!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37# Just look at my magic

0:09:37 > 0:09:39# My magic hands

0:09:39 > 0:09:43# Make your finger super-duper. #

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Magic Hands!
