-One morning, I was brushing my teeth -and as I looked at the toothpaste... | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
-..and the water -disappearing down the plughole... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
-..I thought to myself, -"What's down there? | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
-"What's down the plughole?" | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-So I went downstairs -to ask my family. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-Taid was the first person I saw. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
-"Taid, what's down the plughole?" -I asked. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
-"Ah, that's a very good question," -answered Taid. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-"I wondered that myself once. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-"So, I went down the plughole -to see for myself." | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-Taid told me -that when he was a young boy... | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-..he jumped into the sink -and slid down the plughole. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
-Down the pipe he went, -around the u-bend. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-He leant this way -and splashed that way... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-..until pop, he reappeared -at the centre of the Earth. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
-That's where all the pipes lead. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-There were pipes from China, -pipes from Australia... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-..pipes from Africa -and India and Sweden. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-Millions and billions and -trillions and bazillions of pipes. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
-But that wasn't all. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
-At the bottom -of the centre of the Earth... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-..there's a plughole -the size of America. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
-All the water from all the pipes -from every sink in the world... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:53 | |
-..goes down this hole -and fills the seas. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-There, the oceans are made. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-When you pull the chain... | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
-..waves are created. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-"Wow," I said, "That's incredible." | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
-My big brother, Dil, -was in the living room... | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-..playing games on his computer. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
-I told him what Taid had told me. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
-"That's not what's down -the plughole! | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-"I know what's down there. -I've seen it." | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
-Dil told me a very different story. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-The toothpaste -that goes down the plughole... | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-..all joins together -and becomes a toothpaste monster. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
-It's like a huge worm and it -lives in the pipes under the house. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
-When everyone is asleep, -the toothpaste monster... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-..comes up -and out through the sink... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-..and steals hair -from the faces of men like Dad. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-When Dad shaves every morning... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
-..the toothpaste monster -collects all the hairs... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
-..and makes a wig. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
-Of course, that was nonsense. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-Or was it? Dad's head is bald - -there's not a hair in sight. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-Well, I decided to ask Dad -if it was true. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
-Dad was in the garden -cutting the hedge. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-Out I went to ask him -if the reason he had no hair... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
-..was because the toothpaste monster -had stolen all his hair. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-"Who told you that?" asked Dad. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
-"Dil," I replied. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |
-I told him about Taid's story... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-..about the pipes -at the centre of the Earth. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-"I know what's down the plughole," -he said. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-"Taid and Dil are wrong." | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-This is what Dad said. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-"When you pour water -down the plughole... | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
-"..it goes down the pipe, -around the u-bend... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
-"..into another pipe... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-.."and around another bend -until it trickles out... | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
-"..into the largest water pistol -in the whole wide world. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
-"It was built by the King of Spain." | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-"Why does the King of Spain need the -largest water pistol in the world?" | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
-"To turn off the sun at night, of -course, because people can't sleep." | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
-"How do they switch it on when -it's time to get up in the morning?" | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
-There was a long pause. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
-"Ask your mother," replied Dad -as he continued trimming the hedge. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
-Mam was walking through the door -when I returned to the house. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-Every Saturday, -she goes running with our dog, Bob. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-She loves running. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-Bob doesn't. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
-It takes longer -than Mam would wish... | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-..but she says Bob needs -the exercise. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-I told her I wanted to know -what was down the plughole. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-I also told her -what Taid and Dil and Dad had said. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
-I asked her which one -was telling the truth. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-"None of them," she replied. -"I know what's down there." | 0:07:20 | 0:07:26 | |
-Down the plughole -is the topsy turvy world. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-"Topsy turvy world? -What on earth is that?" | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
-"Well," replied Mam... | 0:07:47 | 0:07:48 | |
-.."In the topsy turvy world, -everything is topsy turvy." | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
-"Cats bark, dogs miaow. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
-"Both of them fly, of course. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-"The sea is in the sky -and the sky is in the sea. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
-"Everyone walks and talk backwards. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
-"The outside is indoors -and everyone lives in trees." | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
-"But why is that down our plughole, -Mam?" I asked. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
-"It's not down our plughole," -she answered. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-"We're down their plughole." | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
-She laughed and hurried upstairs -for a shower. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
-I was so confused by now. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
-Was there a toothpaste monster -down the plughole? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-Was there a topsy turvy world? | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-Was the largest water pistol -in the world down there? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-On the other hand, that might -well be the centre of the Earth... | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-..and it's where the oceans -are made. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
-It might all be true. -It might all be nonsense. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
-My family -might be absolutely bonkers. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
-And so, I returned to the sink -to take a closer look. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-I even flashed my torch -down the plughole.. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
-..just in case -the toothpaste monster was lurking. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
-It wasn't, of course. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-From nowhere, -a little spider crawled out... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
-..and waved one of its legs at me. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
-"Hello, Mr Spider," I said, -"Can you help me?" | 0:09:52 | 0:09:58 | |
-"What's down there? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-"I've asked my family and -I can't say I believe any of them." | 0:10:00 | 0:10:06 | |
-The little spider peered up -at me and said... | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-.."I've seen many a plughole. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
-"I've spent much of my time -down them. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-"I haven't seen that much at all - -just a red hair and a frozen pea. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:28 | |
-"A contact lens and a baby's teeth -and Auntie Mali's earring. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:34 | |
-"Some carrots -and toothpaste bubbles... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-"..a cotton bud -and Heledd's curly locks. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-"Once, a chopstick and a prawn... | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-"..and I've seen more -than my fair share of sweetcorn. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-"I've never seen a monster -and that's the truth. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-"Not a huge pipe -that leads underground. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-"Not a topsy turvy world -or the King of Spain... | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-"..the drain just leads out -to the street. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-"I hope this helps you, my friend... | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
-"..now how do I get out of here - -I want to go!" | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-Carefully, I picked the spider -out of the sink... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
-..and thanked him -for his wise and sensible words. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
-And now we all know -what's hiding down the plughole. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
