0:00:46 > 0:00:49'Mum has got something for us to make together.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51'A whole theatre.'
0:00:51 > 0:00:55A paper theatre and inside what we've got are all the special pieces
0:00:55 > 0:00:57to put the theatre together.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And then here we've got all the lovely characters
0:01:00 > 0:01:02who are going to be in your play.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05This is a beautiful lady.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Got to cut really carefully, coming round.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12We're getting to the top, so we're going to stop and give it a turn.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13That's it.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Now we're going to just score down along these dotted lines.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Where the dotted lines are, just fold them in.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Then we'll fold the next one.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Make sure you've got lots of glue on the edges.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Brilliant.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30'It's taken ages!'
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Let's cut along here.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35This next character's got teeny-tiny little legs.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37'And it was very hard work.'
0:01:37 > 0:01:40The last cut and now they're ready to pop out.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42'But we've finished.'
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Job well done.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Wow, it's finally finished.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Now I can play with it!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51'I wonder what play we'll see first.'
0:01:51 > 0:01:57Let's put Fudge here so he can see the plays we're going to put on.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58What we're going to do...
0:01:58 > 0:02:03'Mum explains how she's going to make the actors move on and off.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05'Here's the paper princess.'
0:02:05 > 0:02:07"Hello, how do you do?"
0:02:07 > 0:02:09"How do you do?" "Very nice."
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I wish it was a real princess.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14How would you know she's a real princess?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Look at her dress, she looks like a real princess.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Ah, just because she looks like a princess doesn't mean she is one.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Once upon a time, there was...
0:02:24 > 0:02:30'Mum tells me the story of a prince, a princess and a pea.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33'She changes the scenes and moves the actors.'
0:02:33 > 0:02:36She was uncomfortable and kept tossing and turning.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'It's really funny.'
0:02:38 > 0:02:40"..couldn't sleep a wink!"
0:02:40 > 0:02:42He said, "You must be a princess!"
0:02:42 > 0:02:43And, then...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46'They all lived happily ever after.'
0:02:46 > 0:02:48The end.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Yay!- Bravo!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Mummy, do you have any princess music?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58There is a piece which always reminds me
0:02:58 > 0:03:02of the story of The Princess and The Pea, but see what you think.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06This is Tahiti Trot by Shostakovich.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Ladies and gentlemen, may I present The Princess and The Pea!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13MUSIC: Tahiti Trot by Shostakovich
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Our story begins inside a castle on the night of the Royal Ball.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19There's the prince.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21He wants to find a princess to marry.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27But the first princess won't stand still.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30SNIFFING
0:03:30 > 0:03:32The next princess doesn't have manners.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And the next princess isn't very nice at all.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42MUSIC CONTINUES
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh! Look, a girl.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46She looks lost.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56"Go inside the castle and keep warm."
0:04:07 > 0:04:10MUSIC CONTINUES
0:04:19 > 0:04:22They both love jam sandwiches.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37They both love exploring the castle.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And they both love to dance.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03"I wonder if the girl's a princess?"
0:05:03 > 0:05:07MUSIC CONTINUES
0:05:13 > 0:05:17PRINCE: "Let's put a pea under her bed and we'll see."
0:05:47 > 0:05:50The girl tries to sleep.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53But she can't sleep at all.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59YAWNING
0:05:59 > 0:06:01The girl can feel the pea.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05That means she's a real princess.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07MUSIC CONTINUES
0:06:10 > 0:06:14The prince and the girl are getting married.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20And the pea is going into the Royal Museum.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42That music made me think of the story of The Princess and The Pea.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45What did it make you think of?
