(00:02):
The broken teapot, it was acloudy night, and rain began
tapping on the bedroom window.
Alice and Freddy were meant tobe asleep, but they were not
asleep, not even nearly asleep.
They were building a tower ofbooks in their room, trying to
reach a mysterious smudge on theceiling.
(00:24):
Freddy insisted it looked like adragon.
Alice thought it just lookedlike spaghetti sauce, though who
knows how it got up there.
Suddenly Alice heard a tinyclick sound, the same sound as
before.
Behind the dresser, steam curledout from a tiny golden edged
door.
Alice grin, look Freddy, thedoor is back.
(00:47):
Freddy scrambled down from thebook tower.
Do you think it's the kind witchMolly b Bromwell again?
They opened the little door andpeeked inside.
Sure enough, there was the samestaircase they saw before.
Glittering softly in thelamplight.
A familiar voice floated up.
Do come quickly, starlings.
(01:07):
We have a little situation here,hand in hand.
They climb through the door anddown into Molly Broom, Well's
Cozy Kitchen.
But this time something wasn'tquite right.
Teacups were bouncing around incircles.
Napkins flew around likestartled birds, and in the
middle of it all, Molly stoodfrowning at her broomstick, A
(01:29):
broken teapot dangled from thefront of it.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
This just won't do.
Molly muttered her pointy hat,tilted sideways.
What happened?
Asked both Alice and Freddy.
At once a sudden breeze knockedme sideways on my broomstick.
She explained, and then crackdown.
Went the teapot.
(01:51):
Freddie Knelt beside it, thehandle had snapped clean off and
the spout drooped.
Sadly, the broom won't flyproperly without it.
No teapot, no balance, you see,and we can't have a midnight
glide with a wobbly broomstick.
Can it be fixed?
Alice asked, hopefully, oh, yes,said Molly, but not by me.
(02:14):
This is a job for my sister.
Sister asked Freddy, MollyWinked.
Yes.
My sister, Mindy Broom.
Well, she can fix anything.
Follow me please.
She opened the kitchen door andoutside waited.
Not a broomstick.
But a marvelous bicycle withthree little armchairs side by
(02:35):
side where the seats should be.
Each chair was squishy andcovered in soft velvet.
Little foot pedals peaked outbeneath each chair, ready for
them to pedal together throughthe night sky.
Alice climbed onto an edge seat,and Freddy took the middle.
Molly climbed on board and witha soft whistle and puff of
(02:55):
magical smoke, the bicyclelifted into the air as the three
pedal tapley, they zippedthrough silvery clouds, skimmed
over rooftops and spottedsleeping owls nestled in trees.
Their feathers ruffling gentlyin the breeze until they reached
a little hail where a littlecottage stood.
(03:17):
Mindy Molly called as theylanded beside a Rose Bush in her
front garden.
The front door creaked open aouts stepped a woman in a
brilliant patchwork purple capeand pointy purple witches hat.
Her hair was tied up withmeasuring tape and her glasses
were held together with glue.
Well, hello, Molly.
Mindy said with a soft smile.
(03:38):
Her eyes twinkling.
What brings you here tonight?
Molly sighed, but return thesmile.
Just a little mishap and ateapot that needs a good fixing.
I'm afraid.
Can you help Mindy steppedforward?
Come in, let's see what we cando.
The cottage was a wonderland ofmended things.
There were clocks made frombroken spoons.
(04:00):
Teacups turned into flower potsand rugs sewn from old scarves.
A wobbly lamp walked itselfacross the room to have a better
look at the visitors.
Freddy stopped and stared at apeculiar chair in the corner.
That chair has 11 legs.
Is it meant to Mindy chuckled?
Of course, nothing in this houseis exactly as expected.
(04:23):
Molly held out the brokenteapot.
Hmm.
Said Mindy.
Turning it over, cracked, bent,and slightly scorched.
Lovely.
Let's get to work.
She spread out a tablecloth madefrom old picnic blankets Fixing
something broken takes threethings.
Mindy explained, a little love,a little patience, and a lot of
(04:46):
marmalade.
Marmalade.
Freddy asked eyes wide, not justfor look.
Mindy smiled pulling a jar froma wooden shelf.
It helps me think she toastedslices of thick bread spreading
each with a generous, stickylayer of golden marmalade.
Here she said, handing a warmslice to each of them.
(05:07):
Toast always helps when you'resolving tricky problems.
They munched quietly as Mendystudied the teapot.
After a few thoughtful bites,she nodded.
I think I have just the idea.
Mendy gave a flick of her magicwand.
The teapot wobbled spun in theair and landed gently back on
(05:28):
the table in front of the twoastonished children.
Good.
As new Mindy announced, Mollysmiled.
Let's make some cocoa just totest it.
She poured steamy milk and cocoapowder into the teapot.
Soon a rich, chocolatey smellfilled the cozy cottage.
Molly popped two pinkmarshmallows in each pretty cup
(05:50):
and handed them to Alice, Freddyand Mindy.
It's perfect.
Freddy said, grinning.
Still feeling warm from thecocoa.
They climbed back onto thebicycle armchair.
Alice held the fixed teapotcarefully in her hands.
As the bike gently lifted off.
They pedaled home through thestars and clouds.
The night was cold, so theypulled soft blankets around
(06:12):
themselves back home.
Molly walked them to their bedsand took them both in.
And with a puff of lavendersteam, she was gone.
The next morning, Alice andFreddy woke to sunshine
streaming in the window.
They grinned at each other andbegan planning what else they
might meant on their nextadventure.
(06:33):
The end.
