Hello! I didn't see you there.

0:00:300:00:33

Come on in. My name is Judge Jenny.

0:00:330:00:37

Welcome to Judge Jenny's FolkTale Court.

0:00:370:00:41

This court is a special place

0:00:420:00:44

where folk people can sort out their arguments.

0:00:440:00:48

Today in court, we have Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

0:00:480:00:54

Now, we're going to listen to each person's point of view

0:00:540:00:58

and decide what is fair.

0:00:580:01:00

Sometimes people can see the same thing that happened

0:01:000:01:04

in a very different way.

0:01:040:01:07

Before we start, I want you all to remember

0:01:070:01:10

that here in the folk courtroom we always tell the truth.

0:01:100:01:16

Does everyone understand?

0:01:180:01:20

Now, the Three Bears here say that Goldilocks came into their house...

0:01:200:01:26

..ate their porridge and broke some furniture.

0:01:260:01:31

Is that right?

0:01:310:01:33

THEY ALL SPEAK AT ONCE

0:01:330:01:37

Stop, stop!

0:01:370:01:39

We aren't going to get very far if you all talk at once.

0:01:390:01:43

Why don't you take it in turns to tell me your side of the story?

0:01:430:01:48

-Well...

-We were out in the woods the other day.

0:01:480:01:52

-It was a Tuesday.

-When we got back, we found that

0:01:520:01:54

someone had been into our house and eaten all of our porridges.

0:01:540:01:58

I see. And how do you know?

0:01:580:02:01

-I knew because mine was all gone.

-THEY GASP

0:02:010:02:04

Do you have any proof of this, Baby Bear?

0:02:040:02:07

-Yes, I have this.

-MUTTERING

0:02:070:02:11

So someone HAD been eating your porridge?

0:02:110:02:15

And what do you have to say to this, Goldilocks?

0:02:150:02:18

I was lost in the woods and it was raining when I saw a little house.

0:02:180:02:22

I ran to the house and found the door was wide open.

0:02:220:02:25

-I called out, but there was no answer.

-The door was wide open?!

0:02:250:02:31

Is this true, Three Bears, that you left the door open?

0:02:310:02:35

-We always leave the door open to cool the porridge.

-I see.

0:02:350:02:40

Carry on, please.

0:02:400:02:42

Then I saw all the porridges on the side.

0:02:420:02:44

I tasted a bit of them, but I didn't eat them all.

0:02:440:02:47

So you didn't eat all the porridges that were there?

0:02:470:02:51

No, I only all the baby bear's porridge

0:02:510:02:53

because I was SO hungry and it was SO delicious!

0:02:530:02:56

-I make it all myself. It's his favourite.

-My very favourite.

0:02:570:03:03

The rain was dripping in, so I thought no-one wanted it.

0:03:030:03:06

I see. A good point.

0:03:060:03:09

So, Three Bears, what happened next?

0:03:090:03:12

-Well...

-We saw that someone had been sitting in our chairs.

0:03:120:03:16

And how do you know that?

0:03:160:03:18

I knew because my chair was broken into a million pieces.

0:03:180:03:21

A million?!

0:03:210:03:23

Not quite a million. More like six. But Baby can't count yet.

0:03:230:03:28

What do you have to say to this, Miss Locks?

0:03:280:03:31

Did you break Baby Bear's chair?

0:03:310:03:34

Yeah, but I didn't mean to. It was an accident.

0:03:340:03:37

It was a rather old chair, and maybe I had eaten too much porridge.

0:03:370:03:41

Was Baby Bear's chair old, Mummy Bear?

0:03:410:03:44

Oh, yes. Daddy Bear had it when he was a baby bear.

0:03:440:03:47

I see. So can you tell me what happened then?

0:03:470:03:51

We went upstairs and found someone had been sleeping in our beds.

0:03:510:03:56

And SHE was still there in MY bed!

0:03:560:03:59

GASPING

0:03:590:04:01

Is it true, Miss Locks, that you fell asleep on Baby Bear's bed?

0:04:010:04:07

Only because I was SO tired. I didn't think anyone would mind.

0:04:070:04:11

That was till I woke up to see three bears growling at me!

0:04:110:04:15

The three bears were growling at you?!

0:04:150:04:19

And showing their teeth. I wanted to say sorry,

0:04:190:04:22

but I was so scared. I ran out the house as fast as I could.

0:04:220:04:25

I see.

0:04:250:04:27

Well, thank you, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

0:04:270:04:31

So, who is right?

0:04:320:04:34

The same thing happened, but from very different points of view.

0:04:340:04:39

Are the Three Bears right to be cross with Goldilocks

0:04:390:04:42

for going into the house if the door was wide open?

0:04:420:04:45

Was Goldilocks wrong to eat the porridge when she was SO hungry?

0:04:470:04:52

Should Goldilocks make a new chair for Baby Bear to say sorry?

0:04:530:04:59

Or was the chair SO old it would have broken anyway?

0:04:590:05:03

Was it wrong for Goldilocks to fall asleep on Baby Bear's bed?

0:05:040:05:10

Or was it wrong for the bears to growl at her?

0:05:100:05:13

What do yo-o-o-ou think?

0:05:150:05:17

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there.

0:05:350:05:38

Come on in. My name is Judge Jenny.

0:05:380:05:42

Welcome to Judge Jenny's FolkTale Court. This court is a special place

0:05:420:05:48

where folk people can sort out their arguments.

0:05:480:05:51

Today in FolkTale Court we have Cinderella's sisters,

0:05:510:05:55

who say that Cinderella here has been calling them names.

0:05:550:06:00

Now, we are going to listen to each person's point of view

0:06:000:06:03

and decide what is fair.

0:06:030:06:06

Sometimes people can see the same thing that happened

0:06:060:06:09

in a very different way. Now, before we start...

0:06:090:06:14

MUSIC BLARES FROM HEADPHONES

0:06:140:06:17

Would you please take your headphones off?

0:06:170:06:21

Judge Jenny said please take your headphones off.

0:06:210:06:24

-Take your headphones off!

-Did you say something?

0:06:270:06:32

I said...take your headphones off!

0:06:320:06:37

-BOTH:

-No need to shout!

0:06:370:06:40

Sorry.

0:06:400:06:43

Now, before we start, I want you all to remember that here

0:06:430:06:47

in Judge Jenny's FolkTale courtroom we always, always tell the truth.

0:06:470:06:54

-Does everyone understand?

-Oh, yes.

0:06:560:06:58

-BOTH:

-S'pose so.

-So, Cinderella's sisters,

0:06:580:07:03

could you please start by telling your side of the story?

0:07:030:07:07

THEY SPEAK AT ONCE

0:07:070:07:09

Stop, stop! We aren't going to get very far if you all talk at once.

0:07:090:07:13

Why don't you take it in turns?

0:07:130:07:16

Well, what happened was, Cinderella called us ugly.

0:07:160:07:21

Yeah, and now everyone is calling us the Ugly Sisters.

0:07:210:07:24

THEY GASP

0:07:240:07:26

Calling people names isn't very nice at all.

0:07:260:07:30

What do you have to say to this, Cinderella?

0:07:300:07:32

I only called them ugly because they went to the ball

0:07:320:07:35

and they wouldn't take me.

0:07:350:07:37

Is that right, that you wouldn't let Cinderella go to the ball?

0:07:370:07:40

THEY GASP

0:07:400:07:42

What does she expect if she calls us ugly?

0:07:420:07:46

Why should we take her if she calls us names?

0:07:460:07:49

She went to the ball anyway with the help of her furry godmother!

0:07:490:07:52

You mean 'fairy godmother'.

0:07:540:07:59

So, Cinderella called her sisters ugly,

0:08:060:08:08

and because of that they would not take her to the ball.

0:08:080:08:12

-Is that correct?

-Yes, but I didn't mean to call them ugly.

0:08:120:08:17

I was cross because I have to clean up after them all the time.

0:08:170:08:21

That's because she is, like, always cleaning.

0:08:210:08:25

If you put anything down, she tidies it away.

0:08:250:08:28

-She even comes in our room.

-Because it is so eeeurgh!

0:08:280:08:33

There must be loads of germs, and all the toys get broken.

0:08:330:08:37

-It's just so ugly and...

-There she goes again!

0:08:370:08:41

Calling us ugly.

0:08:410:08:43

Perhaps, Cinderella, it might be better if you don't use that word.

0:08:430:08:48

And maybe we don't want our room extra, extra clean.

0:08:480:08:52

Anyway, Cinderella is just being good so everyone will like her

0:08:520:08:56

-and then the prince will marry her.

-Instead of us.

0:08:560:08:59

That is not true!

0:08:590:09:02

-I wouldn't marry her if I were you, Prince.

-Thank you, Ugly Sis...

0:09:020:09:06

I mean, Cinderella's sisters. I think we have all the information we need.

0:09:060:09:11

So, who is right? Were the sisters right for leaving Cinderella behind

0:09:110:09:16

when they went to the ball?

0:09:160:09:18

Was Cinderella wrong for calling them names?

0:09:180:09:22

Were the sisters wrong for making Cinderella do ALL the cleaning?

0:09:220:09:26

Or is Cinderella just being really good

0:09:260:09:29

so that the prince will marry her? What do yo-o-o-ou think?

0:09:290:09:34

Hello! I didn't see you there. Come on in.

0:09:550:09:59

My name is Judge Jenny.

0:09:590:10:02

Welcome to Judge Jenny's FolkTale Court.

0:10:020:10:06

This court is a special place

0:10:060:10:09

where folk people can sort out their arguments. Today in court,

0:10:090:10:13

Mr Giant says that Jack climbed up a beanstalk

0:10:130:10:17

and stole his special hen.

0:10:170:10:20

Now, we're going to listen to each person's point of view

0:10:200:10:24

and decide what is fair.

0:10:240:10:26

Sometimes people can see the same thing that happened

0:10:260:10:30

in a very different way.

0:10:300:10:32

Before we start, I want you all to remember

0:10:320:10:35

that here in the Folk Courtroom, we always tell the truth.

0:10:350:10:40

-Does everyone understand?

-Yes.

0:10:410:10:44

Right. So, who is going to start?

0:10:440:10:49

THEY BOTH TALK AT ONCE

0:10:490:10:53

Stop, stop!

0:10:530:10:55

We aren't going to get very far if you all talk at once.

0:10:550:11:00

Why don't you take it in turns to tell me your side of the story?

0:11:000:11:04

Perhaps you would like to start, Mr Giant.

0:11:040:11:08

Well, I was in my castle, minding my own business...

0:11:080:11:12

I'm sorry to stop you, Mr Giant,

0:11:120:11:14

but could you speak a little more quietly?

0:11:140:11:16

Your voice is rather loud for us small folk.

0:11:160:11:20

Oh. Sorry.

0:11:200:11:22

Quite all right. Carry on.

0:11:220:11:25

Well, as I say,

0:11:250:11:28

I was in my castle when suddenly I knew someone was near.

0:11:280:11:34

I smelt him.

0:11:340:11:36

A human was on my land! It was him.

0:11:360:11:39

Is that true, Jack, that you were on Mr Giant's land?

0:11:390:11:43

Well, I might have been.

0:11:430:11:46

A beanstalk had grown outside my window.

0:11:460:11:48

I'd heard stories about people climbing them

0:11:480:11:51

and making their fortune, so I thought why not? I started to climb.

0:11:510:11:57

I got to the top and I think I was in the Giant's land,

0:11:570:11:59

but I didn't know.

0:11:590:12:01

But surely, Jack, you could see that you are on someone's land?

0:12:010:12:05

Wasn't there a wall or a fence?

0:12:050:12:07

No, there wasn't anything.

0:12:070:12:10

THEY GASP AND WHISPER

0:12:100:12:13

Is that true, Mr Giant, that your land doesn't have a fence around it?

0:12:130:12:19

I don't need a fence.

0:12:190:12:21

Only I live here.

0:12:210:12:24

It's all my land.

0:12:240:12:26

It all belongs to me.

0:12:260:12:29

I see.

0:12:290:12:31

Carry on, please, Mr Giant.

0:12:310:12:33

I came out of my castle and I saw a boy in my garden, holding my hen.

0:12:330:12:41

-And what hen is this, Mr Giant?

-It's a very special hen.

0:12:420:12:47

It's the hen that lays the golden eggs.

0:12:470:12:52

A very special hen indeed!

0:12:520:12:55

Excuse...

0:12:570:12:59

Oh...

0:12:590:13:00

Miss! Excuse me, Miss!

0:13:020:13:04

-Yes, Jack.

-But I didn't know it was special.

0:13:040:13:09

I just thought it was an ordinary hen.

0:13:090:13:12

So why were you picking it up?

0:13:120:13:15

-I was just looking at it.

-I don't believe you!

0:13:150:13:20

Everyone knows I've got a hen who lays golden eggs!

0:13:200:13:25

THEY GASP

0:13:250:13:26

Please, Mr Giant, there's no need to shout!

0:13:260:13:30

And remember, here in Folk Court, we always tell the truth.

0:13:300:13:36

But then the boy started to run, run away with my hen.

0:13:370:13:43

Are you saying that Jack took the hen without asking?

0:13:430:13:46

Yes, he stole it!

0:13:460:13:48

THEY GASP

0:13:480:13:51

I didn't steal it.

0:13:510:13:53

-I'd forgotten I was holding it, that was all!

-And why was that?

0:13:530:13:58

I was just holding the hen when I heard the most terrible sound,

0:13:580:14:03

the most terrible, scary poem ever.

0:14:030:14:06

-A poem?

-Well, a kind of poem.

0:14:060:14:10

It was all about grinding people up and eating them!

0:14:100:14:14

Oh, my goodness!

0:14:140:14:17

It made me freeze in terror!

0:14:170:14:19

And then I just ran.

0:14:190:14:21

Is this true, Mr Giant, that you were threatening to eat young Jack here?

0:14:210:14:26

Well, it's just a poem I say.

0:14:260:14:30

I have to say something to get rid of people on my land.

0:14:300:14:34

Perhaps you could say this poem for us, Mr Giant.

0:14:340:14:38

-Then we can judge how scary it is for ourselves.

-Of course.

0:14:380:14:43

I'd be happy to.

0:14:430:14:46

Fee-fi-fo-fum.

0:14:480:14:52

I smell the blood of an Englishman!

0:14:530:14:58

Be he alive, or be he dead,

0:14:580:15:02

I'll grind his bones to make my bread!

0:15:020:15:07

My goodness me!

0:15:080:15:10

I can see why you were scared, Jack.

0:15:100:15:12

So who is right?

0:15:120:15:15

Was Jack right to climb the beanstalk?

0:15:150:15:18

Was the giant right to protect his land?

0:15:180:15:20

Or could he have been a bit friendlier?

0:15:200:15:23

Do you think Jack was just looking at the hen?

0:15:230:15:26

Or, was the giant right to say his terrifying poem to frighten him away?

0:15:260:15:33

What do yo-o-o-ou think?

0:15:330:15:35

Here we are!

0:15:470:15:48

This is our allotment. I go there a lot, with my brother and sister.

0:15:500:15:55

It's like a big garden.

0:15:550:15:57

We're picking parsnip seeds.

0:15:570:16:00

Evelyn, what's in your hand?

0:16:020:16:05

This is an old parsnip plant that we are picking the seeds from.

0:16:050:16:09

-Why are we picking them?

-We're picking them

0:16:090:16:13

because we're going to sow them so we can have parsnips next year.

0:16:130:16:18

-Shall we go and sow them?

-Yes.

0:16:180:16:22

Now, we are preparing the soil,

0:16:220:16:25

because they need food from the soil to grow.

0:16:250:16:28

We spread them out in rows, so they have space to grow.

0:16:330:16:38

The seeds need to be covered with soil to help them grow.

0:16:480:16:52

We water them as well.

0:16:580:16:59

If it doesn't rain enough, we'll need to water them more.

0:17:020:17:06

What else do they need?

0:17:140:17:16

They need sun, water, and food.

0:17:160:17:20

How long is it going to take them to grow?

0:17:200:17:23

They'll take about a year.

0:17:230:17:25

This is one that we planted last year.

0:17:380:17:41

You needed to get the soil off.

0:17:430:17:46

We grow food just for our family, but this

0:17:530:17:56

big farm in the country grows could for lots and lots of supermarkets.

0:17:560:18:01

This is like a giant vegetable patch.

0:18:010:18:04

They grow millions of radishes.

0:18:040:18:08

How do radishes grow?

0:18:080:18:10

So, we need three things to make radishes grow.

0:18:100:18:13

We need sunlight, which gives heat and light,

0:18:130:18:16

and we need water and they also need to be in soil.

0:18:160:18:21

Water is a very important thing.

0:18:210:18:24

What happens if there's no rain?

0:18:240:18:27

If there's no rain, we have to use the irrigation instead,

0:18:270:18:30

so we have to put the water on the field, instead of from the sky.

0:18:300:18:34

A bit like rain, but out of a machine.

0:18:340:18:36

How did the seed get into the ground?

0:18:360:18:39

Well, we use something called a drill,

0:18:390:18:43

that goes on the back of a tractor again.

0:18:430:18:46

And it has a little seed in it. On the back, it makes a hole

0:18:460:18:50

in the ground and then behind it, a seed gets dropped into the hole.

0:18:500:18:54

OK, so we've got two tractors.

0:18:560:18:59

We've got a harvester on one, and a trailer on the other one.

0:18:590:19:02

And we need to use a big harvester here,

0:19:020:19:05

because we have a lot of radishes and a lot of land to harvest,

0:19:050:19:08

and it's going to take a long time to take them out by hand.

0:19:080:19:12

So we have to use a big machine,

0:19:120:19:14

which does it much quicker, much more easily for us.

0:19:140:19:18

Why do you cut the tops off all the radishes before you harvest them?

0:19:180:19:22

The tops are cut off because it makes it easier to harvest them.

0:19:220:19:27

And we do that with a machine as well, because we obviously couldn't

0:19:270:19:29

go round with scissors and cut the tops off all the radishes,

0:19:290:19:32

so we have to use a machine to do that, too.

0:19:320:19:34

So there's lots of machines developed to help us make everything

0:19:340:19:37

easy and quicker in the fields.

0:19:370:19:40

So these are big, red radishes. Those are ones that have been washed.

0:19:460:19:49

With their leaves, they come straight from the ground.

0:19:490:19:51

And then after, we put them into the grading machine.

0:19:510:19:55

And out the other end.

0:19:550:19:57

And this is what you'll see in a supermarket.

0:19:570:20:00

This is red radishes in a bag.

0:20:000:20:02

I've got wobbly teeth. So has my sister.

0:20:070:20:10

I'm losing my baby teeth, because I need

0:20:120:20:14

to make room for my grown-up teeth.

0:20:140:20:17

This is my tooth that has already come out.

0:20:190:20:24

These are my wobbly teeth.

0:20:240:20:26

I'm starting to get grown-up teeth.

0:20:260:20:29

My brother's still got his baby teeth.

0:20:300:20:32

When our baby teeth come out, we grow our 32 adult teeth.

0:20:340:20:39

But some creatures, like sharks, have lots more teeth. But why?

0:20:390:20:43

We went to an aquarium to find out more.

0:20:430:20:46

Do sharks have wobbly teeth?

0:20:480:20:50

They do have lots and lots of wobbly teeth, yes.

0:20:500:20:54

In fact, sharks have always got wobbly teeth.

0:20:540:20:56

They're always growing new teeth, so however many teeth fall out,

0:20:560:20:59

they always, always get new ones.

0:20:590:21:01

How many teeth do sharks have?

0:21:010:21:04

They've got a lot more teeth than me and you.

0:21:040:21:06

They've actually got ten rows of teeth in their mouth.

0:21:060:21:10

We've got two. We've got one at the top and one at the bottom.

0:21:100:21:14

But sharks have got five rows at the top, and five rows at the bottom.

0:21:140:21:19

So they've got hundreds and hundreds of teeth.

0:21:190:21:23

How do sharks have enough room for all those teeth in their mouth?

0:21:230:21:27

Their mouth works a little bit like a conveyor belt.

0:21:270:21:30

So every time a tooth falls out the front row,

0:21:300:21:32

a tooth in the row behind it can just move forwards and replace it.

0:21:320:21:37

So sharks never run out of teeth.

0:21:370:21:40

This is my tooth.

0:21:400:21:42

What does a shark's look like?

0:21:420:21:44

I've got two different shark's teeth here.

0:21:440:21:47

This one came from a sand tiger shark.

0:21:470:21:51

Can you see how long and pointy it is?

0:21:510:21:52

Why is it long and pointy?

0:21:520:21:54

What is it good for?

0:21:540:21:56

They are very good for catching things like little fish and squid.

0:21:560:22:00

Now, this tooth is from a brown shark, and this is very good

0:22:000:22:06

at cutting into big fish with, taking nice big mouthfuls of fish.

0:22:060:22:11

-Do any of you guys have wobbly teeth today?

-I do.

0:22:110:22:14

Yeah? What happens when your teeth fall out?

0:22:140:22:16

What happens when your wobbly tooth comes out of your mouth?

0:22:160:22:19

-Adult teeth grow.

-You get another set of teeth, don't you?

0:22:190:22:21

-But what happens if your adult teeth come out? Do you get any more?

-No.

0:22:210:22:24

No. We only really have wobbly teeth when we are little, don't we?

0:22:240:22:30

When we grow up, hopefully, as long as we brush our teeth every day,

0:22:300:22:33

then we won't have any more wobbly teeth.

0:22:330:22:36

So, sharks always get new teeth, but we don't.

0:22:360:22:39

So we really need to look after our teeth.

0:22:390:22:42

Balancing.

0:22:500:22:53
