Hello! Come on, everybody, take a seat.

0:00:050:00:10

Wow!

0:00:100:00:13

Woo!

0:00:130:00:14

BOTH: Hello!

0:00:140:00:15

-BOTH:

-Hello!

0:00:150:00:18

Wiggle your fingers and cross your feet.

0:00:180:00:22

Are you ready?

0:00:250:00:26

One, two, three, watch me.

0:00:260:00:31

Four, five, six, I've got some tricks.

0:00:310:00:35

Seven, eight, nine, it's almost time.

0:00:360:00:41

10!

0:00:410:00:43

ALL: Magic Hands!

0:00:430:00:45

# Just look at my magic

0:00:460:00:49

# My magic hands

0:00:490:00:51

# Make your fingers super-duper. #

0:00:510:00:54

Magic Hands!

0:00:540:00:55

-BOTH:

-Hello!

0:01:000:01:02

My name is...

0:01:020:01:03

And I'm...

0:01:060:01:07

Look at what my hands can do!

0:01:110:01:14

Oh!

0:01:140:01:15

What's this then?

0:01:150:01:16

It's a person, but it has wings.

0:01:160:01:19

It's a fairy.

0:01:230:01:25

It's a fairy from a famous play, written by William Shakespeare.

0:01:250:01:29

It's called A Midsummer Night's Dream.

0:01:290:01:32

The fairy is part of Titania Queen of the fairies' party,

0:01:340:01:38

and she's about to meet an elf

0:01:380:01:41

called Puck.

0:01:410:01:43

He is assistant to Oberon, the King of the fairies,

0:01:430:01:47

who lives in the middle of an enchanted forest.

0:01:470:01:50

I remember this.

0:01:530:01:56

The Queen of the fairies and the King of the fairies are arguing,

0:01:560:02:02

because the Queen has adopted a child.

0:02:020:02:05

The King is angry because he wants the boy.

0:02:070:02:11

Let's see what happens.

0:02:140:02:16

How now, spirit,

0:02:420:02:43

wither wander you?

0:02:430:02:45

Over hill...

0:02:470:02:48

..over dale...

0:02:490:02:50

..through bush...

0:02:530:02:54

..through briar...

0:02:550:02:57

..over park...

0:02:590:03:00

..over pale...

0:03:010:03:03

..through flood,

0:03:050:03:07

through fire...

0:03:070:03:09

..I do wander everywhere...

0:03:110:03:13

..swifter than the moon's sphere...

0:03:140:03:17

..and I serve the Fairy Queen,

0:03:180:03:21

to dew her orbs upon the green.

0:03:210:03:25

The King doth keep

0:03:330:03:35

his revels here tonight.

0:03:350:03:37

Take heed the Queen

0:03:370:03:38

come not within his sight,

0:03:380:03:41

for Oberon is passing fell and wrath,

0:03:410:03:45

because that she as her attendant hath

0:03:450:03:49

a lovely boy,

0:03:490:03:51

stolen from an Indian King.

0:03:510:03:54

She never had so sweet a changeling...

0:03:590:04:01

..and jealous Oberon would have the child

0:04:040:04:08

knight of his train,

0:04:080:04:10

to trace the forests wild...

0:04:100:04:12

..but she, perforce, withholds the loved boy...

0:04:160:04:20

..crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy,

0:04:210:04:28

and now they never meet in grove or green.

0:04:280:04:31

But, room, fairy!

0:04:340:04:36

Here comes Oberon!

0:04:360:04:37

In the forest

0:04:450:04:46

Puck and the fairies hide,

0:04:460:04:49

as Oberon and Titania meet.

0:04:490:04:52

They are both very cross.

0:04:570:05:00

What's going to happen?

0:05:000:05:02

Will there be an almighty fight?

0:05:020:05:05

Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.

0:05:100:05:14

What, jealous Oberon!

0:05:170:05:20

Fairies, skip hence -

0:05:200:05:22

I have forsworn his company.

0:05:220:05:24

Tarry, rash wanton.

0:05:260:05:29

Am not I thy lord?

0:05:290:05:30

Why should Titania cross her Oberon?

0:05:360:05:40

I do but beg a little changeling boy

0:05:400:05:42

to be my henchman.

0:05:420:05:44

Set your heart at rest.

0:05:480:05:50

The fairy land buys not

0:05:500:05:51

the child of me.

0:05:510:05:53

His mother was a votaress of my order

0:05:560:05:59

and, in the spiced Indian air, by night,

0:05:590:06:04

full often hath she gossiped by my side

0:06:040:06:07

and sat with me on Neptune's yellow sands...

0:06:070:06:11

..when we have laughed to see the sails conceive

0:06:140:06:17

and grow big-bellied with the wanton wind...

0:06:170:06:20

..which she, with pretty and with swimming gait following,

0:06:240:06:29

her womb then rich with my young squire, would imitate

0:06:290:06:33

and sail upon the land

0:06:330:06:35

to fetch me trifles,

0:06:350:06:37

and return again, as from a voyage,

0:06:370:06:41

rich with merchandise.

0:06:410:06:43

But she, being mortal,

0:06:450:06:48

of that boy did die,

0:06:480:06:50

and for her sake

0:06:500:06:52

do I rear up her boy.

0:06:520:06:54

And for her sake

0:06:540:06:56

I will not part with him.

0:06:560:06:58

So, Titania is refusing to give the little boy to Oberon

0:07:010:07:06

because he was the child of her best friend

0:07:060:07:10

and she wants to look after him.

0:07:100:07:12

Being a Fairy King, though,

0:07:140:07:16

Oberon doesn't take "no" for an answer.

0:07:160:07:20

He's hatched a sneaky plan

0:07:200:07:23

and has had his assistant, Puck,

0:07:230:07:26

cast a magical spell

0:07:260:07:27

to make the Fairy Queen fall in love with Bottom,

0:07:270:07:31

a man who's head has been turned into a donkey!

0:07:310:07:35

I must to the barber's, monsieur,

0:07:460:07:48

for methinks I am marvellous hairy about the face,

0:07:480:07:53

and I am such a tender ass,

0:07:530:07:57

if my hair do but tickle me

0:07:570:08:00

I must scratch.

0:08:000:08:01

Sweet love,

0:08:070:08:09

what thou desirest to eat?

0:08:090:08:11

Methinks I have a great desire

0:08:130:08:15

to a bottle of hay -

0:08:150:08:17

good hay,

0:08:170:08:18

sweet hay.

0:08:180:08:20

Sleep, thou,

0:08:220:08:23

and I will wind thee in my arms.

0:08:230:08:26

Fairies, begone,

0:08:260:08:27

and be all ways away.

0:08:270:08:29

So doth the woodbine,

0:08:290:08:31

the sweet honeysuckle,

0:08:310:08:32

gently entwist.

0:08:320:08:34

The female ivy so enrings

0:08:340:08:36

the barky fingers of the elm.

0:08:360:08:39

Oh, how I love thee!

0:08:410:08:43

How I dote on thee!

0:08:430:08:45

Oh, no!

0:08:530:08:55

If Titania has fallen in love with Bottom,

0:08:550:08:58

what will become of the little boy?

0:08:580:09:01

Well, there is a happy ending.

0:09:030:09:06

Oberon feels bad for playing pranks on Titania,

0:09:060:09:09

and decides to undo the magic spell...

0:09:090:09:12

..and Titania is so grateful

0:09:130:09:15

she agrees they can look after the little boy together.

0:09:150:09:20

So the three of them all live happily ever after.

0:09:220:09:26

How lovely!

0:09:260:09:28

-Bye!

-Bye-Bye!

0:09:280:09:30

Magic Hands!

0:09:310:09:33

# Just look at my magic

0:09:340:09:37

# My magic hands

0:09:370:09:39

# Make your finger super-duper. #

Magic Hands!
