0:00:13 > 0:00:15Whoo!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17- BOTH:- Hello! - BOTH:- 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 > 0:00:36Four, five, six, I've got some tricks.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Seven, eight, nine, it's almost time.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hello!- Hello!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06My name is A-I-M-E-E. Aimee.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11And my name is A-S-H-L-E-Y. Ashley.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Look at what my hands can do.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Urgh! What's that? It's all slimy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27It's an eel. And the reason it's all slimy is because it's a fish.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31And usually, they live in rivers and the sea.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47What can you do with an eel?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Well, you could balance one on the end of your nose.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02A bit like the white-haired old man we're about to meet.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06This poem was written by Lewis Carroll
0:02:06 > 0:02:10and it's called You Are Old, Father William.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Are you ready?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Oh, are we at Granny and Grandad's house? I hope they have biscuits.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49"And your hair has become very white;
0:02:49 > 0:02:53"And yet you incessantly stand on your head -
0:02:53 > 0:02:57"Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
0:02:59 > 0:03:04"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07"I feared it might injure the brain;
0:03:07 > 0:03:11"But now that I am perfectly sure I have none...
0:03:14 > 0:03:19"Why, I do it again and again."
0:03:26 > 0:03:32"You are old," said the youth, "As I mentioned before,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35"And have grown most uncommonly fat;
0:03:35 > 0:03:40"Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door -
0:03:40 > 0:03:43"Pray, what is the reason of that?"
0:03:46 > 0:03:50"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
0:03:50 > 0:03:55"I kept all my limbs very supple
0:03:55 > 0:04:02"By the use of this ointment - one shilling the box -
0:04:02 > 0:04:06"Allow me to sell you a couple?"
0:04:11 > 0:04:18"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
0:04:18 > 0:04:22"That your eye was as steady as ever,
0:04:22 > 0:04:29"Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose -
0:04:29 > 0:04:33"What made you so awfully clever?"
0:04:38 > 0:04:42"I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Said his father, "Don't give yourself airs!
0:04:47 > 0:04:51"Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57"Be off, or I'll kick you downstairs!"
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Wow, that was good.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Now, it's my turn.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14My poem is about three tiny, magical men who go fishing.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19But they don't fish for fish, they fish for stars.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25This poem is by Eugene Field and it's called Wynken, Blynken and Nod.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Sailed off in a wooden shoe -
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Sailed on a river of crystal light,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Into a sea of dew.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
0:06:12 > 0:06:15The old moon asked the three.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19"We have come to fish for the herring fish
0:06:19 > 0:06:23"That live in this beautiful sea;
0:06:23 > 0:06:26"Nets of silver and gold have we!"
0:06:28 > 0:06:35Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46The old moon laughed and sang a song.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
0:06:49 > 0:06:54And the wind the wind that sped them all night long
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Ruffled the waves of dew.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02The little stars were the herring fish
0:07:02 > 0:07:07That lived in the beautiful sea -
0:07:07 > 0:07:10"Now cast your nets wherever you wish -
0:07:10 > 0:07:13"Never afraid are we,"
0:07:13 > 0:07:19So cried the stars to the fishermen three:
0:07:19 > 0:07:26Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34All night long their nets they threw
0:07:34 > 0:07:37To the stars in the twinkling foam -
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Bringing the fishermen home.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51'Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed
0:07:51 > 0:07:53As if it could not be,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57And some folk thought 'twas a dream they dreamed
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Of sailing that beautiful sea -
0:08:01 > 0:08:06But I shall name you the fishermen three:
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19And Nod is a little head,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Is a wee one's trundle-bed.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30So shut your eyes while mother sings
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Of wonderful sights that be,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37And you shall see the beautiful things
0:08:37 > 0:08:40As you rock in the misty sea...
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three...
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03HE SNORES
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Wake up, Ashley! - Oh, I'm sorry, Aimee.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11That was just so beautiful it sent me off to sleep.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13When you go off to bed,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17why not ask your mum or dad to read the poem to you.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21And, in your head, imagine you are fishing for twinkling stars
0:09:21 > 0:09:26that dash across the skies like beautiful herring fish.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28HE SNORES
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Bye-bye!
0:09:30 > 0:09:35# Just look at my magic, my Magic Hands
0:09:35 > 0:09:39# Make your fingers super-duper. #
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Magic Hands!
