0:00:41 > 0:00:43'Mum has got a game for me to play -

0:00:43 > 0:00:45'it's a treasure hunt.'

0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Can I peep yet?- No! Not yet.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50'She asks me to look away

0:00:50 > 0:00:52'so she can bury the treasure.'

0:00:52 > 0:00:55No, it won't be a surprise. Back you go.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58'I love treasure hunts.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02'Mum buries the treasure deep in the sand.'

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Oh, you're going to like this one.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06This is a really beautiful, shiny cup... Ah!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08No peeping. It's a shiny cup.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12I think maybe a king or queen would drink from this.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13OK, are you coming round?

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Careful of the step. That's it...

0:01:15 > 0:01:18'Finally, I'm going on my treasure hunt.'

0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, are you ready for this treasure hunt?

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Mum counts down -

0:01:22 > 0:01:25one, two, three,

0:01:25 > 0:01:26go!

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Get digging.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Ooh, what have you got so far?

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Oh, pop it in there,

0:01:31 > 0:01:32let's give it a shake.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Ooh, it's a glass.- Ah.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- A glass.- It's a silver cup.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Right, I'll pop that on your pile.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41We'll make a treasure pile.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42'Shimmy-shimmy-shake,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44'we shake the sieve.'

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Oh, what have we got?

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Melody, what's in here?

0:01:48 > 0:01:51'I find two coins.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54'It's like pirate treasure. Arrr!'

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Wow.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58'Fudge giggles to himself.'

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Ooh, dig down deep.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, it's tough work.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03- Oh.- Oh.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- What did you find?- A butterfly.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Right, shall we give it a shake?- Yes.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Let's shake it off.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Oh!

0:02:12 > 0:02:14'We found lots of treasure.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17'It sits on the sand, sparkling.'

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Ooh, what is it?

0:02:19 > 0:02:21'Then Mum sees something else.'

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Melody, good treasure-hunting.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26So, what treasure have you got?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28We've got some coins, some jewels

0:02:28 > 0:02:30- and my butterfly...- Mmm.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31..and a leaf.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Here you go, Mum, you can have the leaf.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Do you not like the leaf, Melody?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38No, I only like shiny things.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Mummy, have you got any shiny music?

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Shiny music?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Hmm, well, there is a piece

0:02:45 > 0:02:48all about someone else who likes shiny things.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Will that do?- Yes, please.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55This is called The Thieving Magpie, by Rossini.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57DRUMROLL

0:03:01 > 0:03:06Once, there was a peacock king.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08MUSIC: The Thieving Magpie by Rossini

0:03:14 > 0:03:17He loved to show off his feathers...

0:03:37 > 0:03:41..so he told the Sun to shine only on him...

0:03:44 > 0:03:48..but the Sun didn't listen to the peacock king.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58The peacock king was cross.

0:03:58 > 0:04:03He commanded the other birds to bring him the Sun.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09DUCK QUACKS

0:04:12 > 0:04:14METAL CLANGS

0:04:17 > 0:04:19DUCK QUACKS

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Nearby, a magpie had a really good idea.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38METAL CLINKS

0:04:38 > 0:04:41He had collected lots of shiny objects

0:04:41 > 0:04:44and made them into one large, shiny disc.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52IT CHIRPS

0:04:54 > 0:04:56IT CHATTERS

0:05:01 > 0:05:03The Sun came out

0:05:03 > 0:05:05and bounced off the shiny disc

0:05:05 > 0:05:08straight on to the peacock king.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23His feathers shone like jewels.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25THEY QUACK AND CHATTER

0:05:35 > 0:05:40The peacock king gave the clever magpie a medal.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49And he organised a ball in his honour.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10HE SQUAWKS

0:06:12 > 0:06:17That clever magpie was good at finding shiny things...

0:06:17 > 0:06:19just like me.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39MAGPIE SQUAWKS

0:06:41 > 0:06:43MEDAL GLINTS

0:06:46 > 0:06:50That music made me think of a proud peacock and a magpie.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53What did it make you think of?
