0:00:14 > 0:00:15BOTH: Hello!

0:00:15 > 0:00:18- BOTH:- Hello!

0:00:18 > 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 > 0:00:36Four, five, six, I've got some tricks.

0:00:36 > 0:00:41Seven, eight, nine, it's almost time.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Ten!

0:00:43 > 0:00:46ALL: Magic hands!

0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Just look at my magic

0:00:51 > 0:00:54# Make your fingers super-duper. #

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Magic Hands!

0:01:00 > 0:01:01- Hello!- Hello!

0:01:01 > 0:01:03My name is...

0:01:07 > 0:01:09And my name is...

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Look at what my hands can do!

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Eurgh! A spider!

0:01:22 > 0:01:27Oh, don't be scared - it's only a cute little spider.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Spiders are good.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34They catch all the bad insects in their web that would,

0:01:34 > 0:01:38otherwise, ruin your mummy's roses

0:01:38 > 0:01:43and eat up all the crops that make your breakfast cereal.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47That's true.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51And they're also very small and not big and strong, like me,

0:01:51 > 0:01:55so they're probably more frightened of me than... Oh!

0:01:55 > 0:01:58I don't like them!

0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Don't be scared. Ah!- Aargh!

0:02:02 > 0:02:03Get on with it.

0:02:05 > 0:02:12Today we're doing a poem by a woman called Mary Botham Howitt

0:02:12 > 0:02:15and it's called The Spider And The Fly.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Are you ready?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20No.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oof!

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Eurgh! It's a bit sticky.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Watch your feet. You don't want to get stuck.

0:02:47 > 0:02:52"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the spider to the fly,

0:02:53 > 0:02:58"'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02"The way into my parlour is up a winding stair

0:03:02 > 0:03:06"and I've a many curious thing to show when you are there."

0:03:12 > 0:03:18"Oh, no, no," said the little fly, "to ask me is in vain,

0:03:18 > 0:03:24"for who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."

0:03:38 > 0:03:43"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48"Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the spider to the fly.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51"There are pretty curtains drawn around.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54"The sheets are fine and thin.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59"And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!"

0:04:02 > 0:04:08"Oh, no, no," said the little fly, "for I've often heard it said,

0:04:08 > 0:04:13"they never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!"

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh...

0:04:20 > 0:04:26Said the cunning spider to the fly, "Dear friend, what can I do

0:04:26 > 0:04:30"to prove the warm affection I've always felt for you?

0:04:32 > 0:04:37"I have, within my pantry, good store of all that's nice.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42"I'm sure you're very welcome. Will you please to take a slice?"

0:04:42 > 0:04:48"Oh, no, no," said the little fly, "kind sir, that cannot be.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54"I've heard what's in your pantry and I do not wish to see!"

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Grr...

0:05:02 > 0:05:05"Sweet creature," said the spider,

0:05:05 > 0:05:09"you're witty and you're wise.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12"How handsome are your gauzy wings,

0:05:12 > 0:05:14"how brilliant are your eyes!

0:05:15 > 0:05:17"I've a little looking-glass

0:05:17 > 0:05:20"upon my parlour shelf.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23"If you'll step in one moment, dear,

0:05:23 > 0:05:25"you shall behold yourself."

0:05:34 > 0:05:38"I thank you, gentle sir," she said,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41"for what you're pleased to say

0:05:41 > 0:05:43"and bidding you good morning now,

0:05:43 > 0:05:45"I'll call another day."

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Grr!

0:05:51 > 0:05:53The spider turned him round about

0:05:53 > 0:05:56and went into his den,

0:05:56 > 0:05:58for well he knew the silly fly

0:05:58 > 0:06:00would soon come back again.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09So, he wove a subtle web,

0:06:09 > 0:06:11in a little corner sly,

0:06:11 > 0:06:14and set his table ready

0:06:14 > 0:06:16to dine upon the fly.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Then he came out to his door again,

0:06:28 > 0:06:31and merrily did sing,

0:06:31 > 0:06:35"Come hither, hither, pretty fly,

0:06:35 > 0:06:38"with the pearl and silver wing.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40"Your robes are green and purple.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42"There's a crest upon your head.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46"Your eyes are like the diamond bright,

0:06:46 > 0:06:49"but mine are dull as lead."

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Alas, alas! How very soon this silly little fly,

0:06:55 > 0:07:00hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by.

0:07:03 > 0:07:08With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,

0:07:08 > 0:07:13thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue.

0:07:15 > 0:07:23Thinking only of her crested head - poor foolish thing! At last...

0:07:27 > 0:07:33..up jumped the cunning spider and fiercely held her fast.

0:07:33 > 0:07:39He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den...

0:07:41 > 0:07:47..within his little parlour, but she ne'er came out again!

0:07:51 > 0:07:54And now, dear, little children,

0:07:54 > 0:07:56who may this story read,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59to idle, silly, flattering words,

0:07:59 > 0:08:01I pray you ne'er give heed.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Unto an evil counsellor,

0:08:05 > 0:08:07close heart and ear and eye,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10and take a lesson from this tale,

0:08:10 > 0:08:13of the spider and the fly.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm definitely glad I'm not a fly!

0:08:21 > 0:08:23But wasn't the poem great?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34I think it was about people using clever words

0:08:34 > 0:08:39to try and get others to do things they don't want to do.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Before we finish, lovely Aimee,

0:08:42 > 0:08:46can I just tell you that I really like your outfit?

0:08:46 > 0:08:50That colour suits your eyes perfectly.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Oh, and your hair...

0:08:51 > 0:08:53What do you want?

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Will you come round and put up my shelves for me?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09The most important thing to remember,

0:09:09 > 0:09:14if you really don't want to do something, just say no.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18So, no, Ashley, I'm not going to put up your shelves for you.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Instead, I'll teach you how to do it.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22Thank you!

0:09:23 > 0:09:25- BOTH:- Bye!

0:09:28 > 0:09:31ALL: Magic hands!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33# Just look at my magic

0:09:33 > 0:09:35# My magic hands

0:09:35 > 0:09:39# Make your fingers super-duper. #

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Magic Hands!
