-Sali Sane Fach lived in town.

-On the left, a sock that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One was pulled up high,

-the other was right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when she's around.

-To be honest,

-Sali lived just outside town...

-..on a hill

-that looked down over the valley.

-That's where the town stood

-but the rest of what I said is true.

-Sane wasn't Sali's real surname.

-But everyone in town

-knew her as Sali Sane.

-They would sing that verse

-about her.

-Sali Sane Fach lived in town.

-On the left, a sock that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One was pulled up high,

-the other was right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when she's around.

-Sali didn't like being called

-Sali Sane.

-She never had two socks

-of the same kind.

-Well, not any more anyway.

-She had countless pairs once...

-..but here was the strange thing.

-Whenever Sali

-had a new pair of socks...

-..one would disappear

-by the following day.

-Sali Sane Fach lived in town.

-On the left, one that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One was pulled up high,

-the other was right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when she's around.

-No-one knew where they went.

-Dad thought the dog took them

-and buried them in the garden.

-But then he remembered.

-They didn't have a dog.

-Sali's mother thought

-that birds were stealing them...

-..from the clothes line.

-One day, she sat outside

-guarding the clothes line.

-No socks disappeared that day.

-The following morning,

-when Sali woke up...

-..one of her socks

-was missing again!

-Poor Sali.

-She had drawer after drawer

-of different socks.

-They were stripy and flowery, some

-had pictures of fairies on them.

-Others had fruit on them.

-That's why she was given the name

-Sali Sane.

-Sali, because that was her name.

-Sane, because she wore

-odd socks all the time.

-But once the children started

-singing the verse - you know...

-Sali Sane Fach lived in town.

-On the left, one that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One was pulled up high,

-the other was right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when she's around.

-..it spread like wildfire.

-Everyone sang it -

-the children, the lollipop lady...

-..the postmistress,

-the baker, the policeman...

-..and the electric meter man.

-Poor Sali.

-That verse followed her everywhere.

-Unless...

-unless she could find out...

-..what happened to her socks

-so she could stop everyone singing.

-Sali Sane Fach lived in town.

-On the left, one that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One was pulled up high,

-the other was right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when she's around.

-To find out where the socks went,

-Sali needed a pair of socks.

-Sali took her pocket money,

-jumped on her bike...

-..and rode into town

-to buy a new pair of socks.

-Every step of the way,

-everyone sang the verse.

-Sali Sane Fach lived in town.

-On the left, one that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One was pulled up high,

-the other was right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when she's around.

-When she got home, Sali placed the

-socks on the floor next to her bed.

-This is where she always placed

-her socks before she went to bed.

-Sali wasn't going to sleep tonight -

-oh, no!

-Sali was going to stay awake

-all night...

-..until the mystery

-of the missing socks was solved.

-The sun set and the stars came out.

-Sali hid under her blanket leaving

-just enough room to peer through...

-..so that she could keep an eye

-on her socks.

-She stayed like this all night

-and held a torch under her blanket.

-Soon, the sun was starting to rise.

-Sali was about to give up

-and go to sleep...

-..when a light started to glow

-under Sali's bed.

-As if a door had just opened.

-The light became brighter

-and brighter.

-That's when Sali saw it.

-A hairy head popped out from under

-the bed and smelt the socks.

-A huge blue paw picked up the socks

-and took them under the bed.

-Then, it laughed.

-Whatever was under the bed

-was laughing.

-Sali had to see it.

-She was a little scared

-but she was also very brave.

-She jumped off the bed,

-pulled the blanket back...

-..and shone the torch under the bed.

-What did she see?

-Well, she saw a creature

-with two arms, two hairy legs...

-..eating one of her socks.

-"Excuse me," she said angrily.

-"What do you think you're doing?"

-"Oh, hello. I'm eating all

-this tasty food, of course"...

-..replied the hairy bear-like

-creature.

-"That's not food, that's my sock,"

-said Sali.

-"It's lovely," replied

-the... the... well, uh, the thing.

-"One sock was enough for me and

-thanks for leaving it on the floor.

-"I was starving.

-"Where I come from,

-socks are a delicacy," he said.

-"If they're so special, why didn't

-you eat two of them?" she asked.

-"What do you think I am - a monster?

-"No, no, no, no, no.

-"We only eat one of every pair."

-Just then, Sali's father came in

-to see what was going on.

-He couldn't believe his eyes

-when he saw what was in the room.

-Sali told him that the creature

-was called Fingal.

-He was only there to eat socks.

-Well, one sock from every pair.

-Dad thought he should tell Mam.

-Mam screamed and said she had

-to see Fingal "with her own eyes."

-Then she screamed again and fainted.

-Soon, and after a cup of tea,

-she felt much better.

-After all, Fingal had good manners.

-He didn't know

-that not everyone ate socks.

-"Ha, ha, ha, ha," he laughed.

-"Everyone at home

-won't believe this."

-"Everyone here won't believe this,"

-said Sally.

-She was sad all of a sudden.

-Once Fingal went home,

-life would return to normal.

-People would sing the verse again.

-Sali Sane Fach lived in town.

-On the left, one that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One was pulled up high,

-the other was right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when she's around.

-She would be Sali Sane forever.

-That's when she had an idea.

-She took Fingal to school.

-She explained to the headmaster

-who he was and what he ate.

-The headmaster

-was initially dubious...

-..but once he sat down

-and spoke to Fingal...

-..he agreed that he was

-a pleasant little creature.

-He gave Fingal one of his socks

-to eat with his cuppa.

-Then, Sali took him

-to every classroom in school.

-Everyone loved Fingal.

-They all gave him a sock.

-Fingal was having a great time.

-Soon, news about Sali's

-sock-eating monster...

-..spread like wildfire across town.

-The lollipop lady,

-the policeman, the postman...

-..everyone came to see him.

-And so,

-that's the story of Sali Sane.

-Oh, hang on.

-Fingal still visited town and soon,

-everyone had different socks.

-They liked Fingal so much,

-they wore different socks...

-..but still bought pairs

-just to feed Fingal.

-And they stopped singing that verse.

-Look at all the odd socks

-around the town.

-On the left, one that's blue,

-on the right, one that's brown.

-One is pulled up high,

-the other is right down.

-Never two socks the same

-when Fingal is around.
