Truc, Liza and Rhys: Truc Helps Grandma at the Market Where in the World?

# Where, where, where in the world?

# Where, where, where shall we go?

# Time for a trip Away we go

# Over mountains and oceans Sunshine and snow

# Discover new places Make friends on the way

# So where in the world shall we visit today?

# Where, where, where in the world?

# Where, where, where shall we go today? #

Where shall we go? And who shall we see?

Let's visit Truc in Vietnam.

Today, Truc is going to be working with her grandma.

But where are you, Truc?

Truc?

Ah, there you are! With Grandma.

Come on, Truc, help me move this one.

Truc's helping Grandma to get her store ready

for a busy day in the market.

There are lots of stalls here selling fruits,

vegetables and meats.

Grandma's stall sells all sorts of things -

candles, bottles of sauce, noodles

and paper decorations.

How many of these little rice bags do you want me to put out?

Between five and seven.

One, two, three, four, five.

Do you remember how much it is for one bag?

-It's two dong.

-That's right.

Dong is the name of the money they use in Vietnam.

There's so much going on in the market today,

and Truc likes watching all the customers talking and shopping.

Can I have 100g of dried mushrooms, please?

And here's your first customer, Truc.

Truc weighs the mushrooms on the scales.

Grandma, is that 100g?

Yes, that's right.

That's 30 dong, please.

Here's another customer. She wants three little candles in glass bowls.

No time to rest, Truc. More and more people are arriving.

And you're doing a great job of keeping up with them all.

How much are these bags of seasoning, Grandma?

Eight dong for two bags.

You're good at adding up all that money, Truc.

So, Truc, that's 30 dong for the seasoning powder

and five for the salt.

How much is that?

That's 35 dong.

More money, more counting.

And what are you doing now, Truc?

Are you trying to work out

how much money all those customers have spent?

10 - 8 = 2

5 - 4 = 1

That's 12.

What are all the pictures on the banknotes, Truc?

There's a tractor on this one,

an elephant on this note

and here are some women in a supermarket.

After all that work, Grandma decides it's time for a treat.

It's your turn to be the customer, Truc.

But what would you like to buy?

Please can I have three milk fruit?

Please cut one for me.

COCK CROWS

That's 50 dong.

Thank you.

Grandma, I bought three milk fruit.

I hope you chose some good ones.

You have some too, Grandma.

Milk fruit have a soft, milky centre.

Do you like it, Truc?

It's delicious.

Good, because it's the perfect treat for a perfect helper.

# Where shall we go? And who shall we see? #

Let's go and see Liza...in Russia.

Today, Liza is going fishing with her dad and twin brother, Stupa.

But before they can go, they need to find some worms.

Let's look for worms under that stump.

Fish love eating worms.

So if you want to catch a fish, first you need to catch a worm.

THEY SPEAK IN RUSSIAN

Don't worry, Liza, the worms are for the fish to eat, not you.

That's enough.

It's the first time Liza's been fishing

and she's got a new fishing rod.

Let's see if you can catch your very first fish with it, Liza.

The river is just a short walk away through the countryside.

Liza's older brother, Sergei, is coming on the trip too.

-Dad, do you think we'll be able to catch a fish?

-We'll see.

You can't always catch a fish.

Sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not.

And there it is - the river.

It's full of fish, but will Liza be able to catch any?

There's only one way to find out.

Dad's setting up all the fishing rods.

Dad, why is the rod so long?

So you can reach far out into the river and not get your feet wet.

Next, carefully place the worm on the hook

so the fish will see it and want to eat it.

Hold the rod carefully.

That's it.

Now wait for the fish to bite.

If a fish bites on the worm, the orange float will move.

Keep an eye on it, Liza.

Be very quiet. You don't want to scare the fish away.

If you want to catch a fish, you need lots of patience.

My lovely rod, catch my fish.

"Of course I will!"

Is it moving yet?

Look, Liza!

It's moving.

Whoa!

You've caught it, well done!

It was my very first try and I did it all by myself.

Well done, Liza!

Fantastic, Liza!

You've caught your very first fish.

And I know someone who'll be very excited to hear all about it.

Mum, I caught my first fish!

Wonderful. Did you use a worm?

Yes, a worm.

Well done. Give me five.

# Where shall we go? And who shall we see? #

Let's visit Rhys in Canada.

Rhys is at home with Mum and Dad.

He's going to help his dad make meatballs for supper.

OK, I need a lot of help from you, so get on your stool

-and we'll go over what we need to do.

-OK.

Dad's made a list

of all the ingredients they need to make meatballs.

We've got breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and pork and beef,

garlic, parsley and Parmesan, OK?

Rhys's job is to mix them all together. First, the meat.

There it goes.

And put that one in too.

-It's a lot of meat.

-Yeah, a lot of meat.

Next, the breadcrumbs.

Grab hold of a little bit like this and just put it in like that,

mix it all around.

-OK, now this is parsley, right?

-Yeah.

So we want to get it all out over here.

Put your hand over there.

Dad needs to help Rhys use the knife to chop the parsley.

You get it smaller and smaller and smaller.

Then put it in there and then we'll wash your hands.

-Is that garlic?

-Yeah, so put that in there.

Two really big scoops, OK?

-Of this one?

-Yeah, and do another one.

That's really good.

What else do we need to do?

Parmesan, parsley we did.

-And salt and pepper.

-Salt and pepper and Parmesan?

-Yeah.

-That's right.

In goes the Parmesan cheese.

We like cheese.

Salt.

And pepper.

All right, that's great.

And then the best bit -

mixing with your hands.

Get your fingers right in there.

-What does it feel like?

-Really gooey.

-Really gooey?

-Gooey.

-Good.

-Shall I help you?

-Sure.

-All right.

-I can smell the garlic. Can you?

-Yeah.

-And all the meat's with it too.

-Smells good, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

Everything is mixed together.

But how are you go to turn that into meatballs?

An ice-cream scoop.

Pack it in.

That'll help make them the right shape.

Then, time for a quick roll.

When you're ready with that one, you can pass it to me.

And you can do the next one. Thank you very much.

And the meat's become a meatball.

How many meatballs do you think we're going to make?

-Maybe 20.

-20, OK.

-That's it, we've got it.

-It's going to be one big meatball.

Thank you.

The meatballs are cooked in the oven.

And Dad's made a tomato sauce.

There you go. Drop them in.

-Plop!

-There you go.

-Whoop!

-Perfect.

Rhys's sister lays the table.

And it's time for dinner.

-This is yours.

-Thank you. Oh, my goodness, you guys.

Oh, yummy!

-DAD:

-Is it yummy?

-Mm-hm.

I think those are my favourite ones.

-Yeah, the meatballs are really good.

-You like them?

Being as Rhys and I made the meal,

we need somebody else to do the washing-up.

-Really?

-Whoa! OK?

-Will you do it all by yourself?

Looks like a good deal.

You want Mommy to do it? That sounds like a good deal.

Everyone's enjoyed the meatballs.

Dad and Rhys, you make a great team.

What a busy day it's been for everyone.

Truc helped her grandma at the market stall.

Liza caught her very first fish in the river.

And Rhys made some tasty meatballs for all the family.

I wonder who we'll meet next time.
