0:00:40 > 0:00:43'Mum and I are going to play some games in the park.'

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Right, so we'll just pop Fudge down here

0:00:45 > 0:00:49- and then you can have a little go. - I'm going to dive in.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50Get all the blocks.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51'There's a set of blocks.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54'I like to see how high I can stack them.'

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Is this going to be a very tall tower, then?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Yes, taller than me. - Taller than you?!

0:00:59 > 0:01:01I need a little bit of help.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03'The tallest tower I can.'

0:01:03 > 0:01:04This is nice and tall.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07- It's going to get even taller. - Is it?

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Whoa, this is getting tall. Going to stand up for this now.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15You're standing up? This is getting serious.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18What would happen if we took one of those bricks away?

0:01:18 > 0:01:22- It would fall down.- It might or it might just wobble a little bit.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24I want to go as high as I can.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27You know, there's a tower in Italy, it moves to one side.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30It's called the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- The leaning tower of pizza! - Pizza?

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Oh, this is nearly as tall as you.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36I think I'll need your help in a minute.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- We could sit Fudge on the top. - Not yet.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Very impressive, Melody.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43What does Fudge think?

0:01:44 > 0:01:49- Fudge doesn't like it.- Oh. Oh!

0:01:49 > 0:01:51I'll tell you what, let's see...

0:01:51 > 0:01:55'Mum challenges me to a contest to build the tallest tower.'

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Go!- Go!

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Right. Oh, you're going very quickly, Melody.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05I'm going to win, that's why.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Are you?- Yes, Mum. I want to win.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yours is going up very quickly.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14I'm going to build it as tall as I can.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18'I build my tower as quickly as I can, but Mum is really slow.'

0:02:18 > 0:02:20I'm going to use all my blocks.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24'My tower gets tall and Mum's is tiny.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26'I'm going to win this easily.'

0:02:26 > 0:02:31Oh, it's looking a bit wobbly, Melody.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35'I'm so pleased. I give my tower a hug.'

0:02:37 > 0:02:39No!

0:02:42 > 0:02:47- I think you were in too much of a hurry.- Was I?- Yes.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Mummy, I want to build a big strong tower.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Have you got any big strong music?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well, there is a really strong piece.

0:02:55 > 0:03:00Always makes me think of a huge building, but see what you think.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04It's called Toccata and Fugue by JS Bach.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10A giant castle.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13MUSIC PLAYS

0:03:31 > 0:03:34And two giants coming through the gates.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39The king announces a competition

0:03:39 > 0:03:41to see who can build the tallest tower.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50That little boy wants to try. Look at him running.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52The giants think that's funny.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56MUSIC PLAYS

0:04:07 > 0:04:14"Whoever builds the tallest tower shall win," says the king.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15They started.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20The giants used huge slabs.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22The little boy is using pebbles.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25MUSIC PLAYS

0:04:39 > 0:04:42The little boy has made a little tower.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Everyone laughs at him.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48LAUGHTER

0:04:53 > 0:04:58THE GIANTS LAUGH

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Oh.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16The giants piled big rocks on top of each other.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32The little boy tries to make his tower bigger.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35MUSIC PLAYS

0:05:42 > 0:05:45APPLAUSE

0:05:50 > 0:05:54And the giants try to outdo each other,

0:05:54 > 0:05:56climbing up over and over again,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59throwing on more and more rocks.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03MUSIC PLAYS

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Oh, no!

0:06:23 > 0:06:27The giants' towers aren't made properly.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Oh!- Oh!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33They're going to fall!

0:06:40 > 0:06:46The little boy's tower is the only one still standing.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47He's won.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55That music made me think of two tall towers.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57What did it make you think of?
