0:00:05 > 0:00:09Hello! Come on, everybody, take a seat.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- ALL:- Hello!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Wiggle your fingers and cross your feet.
0:00:24 > 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.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Seven, eight, nine, it's almost time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Ten!
0:00:44 > 0:00:46ALL: Magic hands!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Just look at my magic
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# My magic hands
0:00:51 > 0:00:55# Make your fingers super-duper. #
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07My name is D-O-N-N-A. Donna.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12I'm SI-M-O-N. Simon.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Look at what my hands can do.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19It's beautiful.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's a sword.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It looks very old and powerful.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I wonder who it belongs to?
0:01:30 > 0:01:35It looks like it belongs to someone very heroic and brave.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Someone like the hero Beowulf.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42A long time ago,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Beowulf travelled to the rescue of the people in Denmark,
0:01:46 > 0:01:47a country across the sea,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51who were being attacked by dragons and monsters.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02First, Beowulf tackles a big monster, called Grendel,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06to keep the people of Denmark safe.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Then, Grendel's mother appears
0:02:14 > 0:02:17to reap revenge for the death of her son.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Beowulf is the only person strong enough to stop her.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35The only trouble is she lives in a lair right bottom of the sea.
0:02:38 > 0:02:45He takes his fantastic sword with him, but will it be enough?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Are you sitting comfortably?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well, let's go with Beowulf to find the horrible
0:02:51 > 0:02:55monster at the bottom of the sea.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Are you ready?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Then, a day's length lapsed.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30He was able to see the sea and its bottom.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Early, she found then that the grim one's dominion,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45someone of men from above was exploring.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Forth did she grab them,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56grappled the warrior with horrible clutches.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Yet no sooner she injured, his body unscathed.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04The breastplate out-guarded,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08she proved but powerless to pierce through the armour.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12The limb-mail locked with loath-grabbing fingers.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34The sea-wolf bare then, the ring-prince homeward.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41But many a mere beast tormented him swimming.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Floor beasts no few with fierce biting tusks did
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Break through his breastplate. The brave one pursued they.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05The earl then discovered he was down in some cavern.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Where no water whatever anywise harmed him
0:05:08 > 0:05:13and the clutch of the current could not come anear him,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17since the roofed hall prevented brightness a-gleaming.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Firelight he saw, flashing resplendent.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32The good one saw then the sea bottom's monster,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36the mighty mere-woman, he made a great onset.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40With weapon of battle, his hand not desisted from striking.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43That war-blade struck on her head then,
0:05:43 > 0:05:48a battle song greedy. The stranger perceived then.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52The sword would not bite, her life would not injure.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Oh, Beowulf's sword is not working.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Is he going to lose the battle with the monster?
0:06:06 > 0:06:12In the cabin, he spies some more treasure with a beautiful big sword.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I wonder what's going to happen.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Then, he saw amid the war-gems a weapon of victory.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31An ancient giant sword, of edges a-doughty.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Glory of warriors, of weapons 'twas choicest.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Only 'twas larger than any man else was able to bear to the
0:06:38 > 0:06:40battle encounter.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47The good and splendid work of the giants.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52He grasped then the sword hilt, knight of the Scyldings.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Bold and battle-girm, brandished his ring-sword.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Hopeless of living, hotly he smote her.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03That the fiend-woman's neck firmly it grappled.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Fate-cursed body, she fell to the ground then.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11The hand sword was bloody,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14the hero exulted.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26Of the good one the grey haired together held converse,
0:07:27 > 0:07:34The hoary of head, that they hoped not to see again.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Then many concluded the mere-wolf had killed him.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46The ninth hour came then, the ness-edge departed.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50The bold-mooded Scyldings, the gold friend of heroes,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52homeward betook him.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The strangers sat down then.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Soul-sick, sorrowful, the sea waves regarding.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04They wished and yet weened not their well-loved friend lord to see
0:08:04 > 0:08:07any more.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15The sword blade began then, the blood having touched it,
0:08:15 > 0:08:20contracting and shrivelling with battle icicles.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31'Twas a wonderful marvel that it melted entirely,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35likest to ice when the Father unbindeth the bond of the frost
0:08:35 > 0:08:39and unwindeth the wave bands.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50The seamen's defender came swimming to land then.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Doughty of spirit, rejoiced in his sea gift.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58The bulky burden which he bore in his keeping.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01The excellent vassals advanced then to meet him.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04To God they were grateful, were glad in their chieftain,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09that to see him safe and sound was granted them.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20The king and the country were so pleased to see Beowulf.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26How would you feel
0:09:26 > 0:09:30if you faced a monster as terrible as Grendel's mother?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34I'm sure you'd all be very brave, like Beowulf.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Although, don't forget that monster
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and dragons are just part of stories.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43They're not real.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Bye-bye!- Bye!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50DOG BARKS
0:09:55 > 0:09:58# Just look at my magic
0:09:58 > 0:10:00# My Magic Hands
0:10:00 > 0:10:04# Make your fingers super-duper. #
