0:02:24 > 0:02:27And look at these, we've got a pair of legs coming through.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30It could be Granny walking.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33It could be someone walking or doing the cancan!

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Shall we see if we can make something together?- Yes!

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Put my hand up like that and you bend yours round a little bit,

0:02:48 > 0:02:50How about a bedtime story?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Have you got a story about shadows?

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Ooh, let me just check.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Hmm. No, I don't think I do.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03But I do have a piece of music which reminds me of shadows.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Why don't you snuggle up with Fudge

0:03:06 > 0:03:10and then you can make some of your own stories about shadows?

0:03:10 > 0:03:16This is Playful Pizzicato from Simple Symphony by Benjamin Britten.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19MUSIC: Playful Pizzicato by Benjamin Britten

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Once upon a time there was a lonely forest fairy...

0:03:25 > 0:03:28..who wished she had a friend to play with.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34One night the fairy thought she found a friend.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44The fairy didn't know it wasn't a friend,

0:03:44 > 0:03:47it was just her shadow.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05The fairy danced...

0:04:08 > 0:04:11..and her shadow danced too.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29The fairy flew up to the stars...

0:04:32 > 0:04:34..and down again.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46The fairy still didn't know that it was just her shadow

0:04:46 > 0:04:52so she decided to go on an adventure to Tower Bridge...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58..Big Ben...

0:05:00 > 0:05:04BIG BEN CHIMES

0:05:06 > 0:05:08..and Buckingham Palace.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oops! Careful, fairy!

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Then she played a game...

0:05:32 > 0:05:35..still thinking her shadow was a friend.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37FAIRY YAWNS

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Night-night, fairy.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41MELODY YAWNS

0:05:47 > 0:05:52But the next morning, the fairy's shadow was gone.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59The fairy searched EVERYWHERE

0:05:59 > 0:06:02trying to find her friend.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Where has she gone?

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Finally the fairy realised she didn't meet a new friend,

0:06:16 > 0:06:18it was just her shadow.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Meow!

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Then she saw she had friends all along.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29She just needed to look.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35MELODY GIGGLES

0:06:35 > 0:06:39That music made me think of a fairy and her shadow.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41What did it make you think of?
