Speaker 1 (00:05):
One day, three little
kids named Caleb, avi and Zoe
were all sitting at home Now.
They were eating theirbreakfast.
They were having a deliciousbreakfast of cereal, and it was
very, very yum.
As they were sitting and eating, all of a sudden Avi reached
across.
Um, can you pass me the juiceplease, caleb?
Okay, said Caleb.
(00:26):
He went to pass the juiceacross, but as he did, he
slipped and the juice tipped allover the table.
Oh no, he said, I've made a bigmess, don't worry, said Avi.
Just go grab some of thecleaning stuff out the cupboard.
So Caleb ran across to thecupboard.
He opened it up and he found abottle of some kind of spray and
(00:46):
a funny looking cloth.
I haven't seen these onesbefore.
He thought to himself, but heraced back over towards the
table, and as he was looking, hestarted to spray where the
juice was.
He sprayed, and the spraycoming out of the bottle seemed
to be a little bit sparkly.
It was quite strange.
He didn't seem to mind, though,because he still needed to
(01:07):
clean up the juice that he hadspilt.
He grabbed the cloth and hestarted to wipe.
As he did, something verystrange happened.
The colour of the table beganto change.
Instead of being its normalwood colour, it started to turn
purple.
Um, I think I might have usedthe wrong spray, said Caleb.
Avey and Zoe looked across.
(01:28):
Whoa, avey, you've coloured inthe table.
Uh, I think it was this spray.
He said Um, let me have a look.
The girls grabbed the spraybottle and tried to read the
writing on the side, but insteadof normal letters it was just
some kind of strange symbols.
They couldn't read any of it.
What is it, Said Avey.
I don't know, said Zoe, can Ihave a look?
(01:50):
She grabbed it.
She sprayed a little bit on herplate and then started to wipe
it with the funny looking cloth,as she did.
Her plate started to changecolor.
Instead of purple, this time itcame out blue, but not a normal
blue, some kind of shimmeringblue.
This is very strange, she said.
She looked even closer.
It's almost like the blue ismoving.
(02:11):
What said Caleb?
They looked closer and closerand closer until.
Was that a wave that just rolledthrough the middle of my plate?
I think so, said Caleb.
That's really strange.
He tried to reach down and poke.
As he poked the plate all of asudden, oh, my finger's cold and
(02:31):
it seems to be wet Wet, saidAvi.
What do you mean?
Caleb put his whole hand insidethe plate.
It's water in there.
What do you mean?
It's water, said Zoe.
It's just a plate.
I don't think it is, said Caleb.
Look closer.
They looked and they saw anotherwave roll through the middle of
the plate.
Something strange is going onhere.
(02:53):
I've got an idea, said Caleb.
He grabbed the spray bottle andhe sprayed it on the floor.
Caleb, what are you doing?
Hang on, I'm going to make abig one, a big what, said Avey?
Caleb sprayed a big circle andthen he started to wipe it with
the cloth.
As he did, it started to changecolour, but this time, instead
of just a colour, they could seea little bit more of what was
(03:16):
going on.
The kids all looked through andon the other side of this
strange coloury pattern theycould see Is that I think it's
the ocean and a little bit ofsand.
So mine turned into water andnow you've made some of the
ocean and some sand.
What's with the purple one?
(03:37):
From the start, caleb racedback over to the purple patch
that he had sprayed on the table.
He reached across and tried topoke it as he did.
Ooh, somebody yelled who saidthat?
They looked and all of a suddenthe purple disappeared and they
could see the sky.
On the other side there was aman looking at them very curious
.
What is going on?
(03:59):
Let's jump through the big one,said Zoe.
Okay, said the kids.
So they all jumped through thebig one.
And when they arrived on thebig one, said Zoe, okay, said
the kids.
So they all jumped through thebig one.
And when they arrived on theother side they realised they
were at the beach.
They looked around.
There were waves and water andsand and there was a man sitting
on a purple tower that waslooking down a hole, very
confused.
I think I poked him in thebottom, said Caleb.
(04:19):
The kids all laughed how did weget here?
I think the spray opened upsome kind of portal.
I did, said Caleb.
They looked carefully and asthey looked they could see that
the funny-looking symbols thatweren't real letters kind of
looked like they kind of lookedlike waves.
I think it must be some kind ofocean portal spray.
(04:42):
That's very strange, said Caleb.
Yes, said Avi.
Extremely strange.
Yeah, said Zoe, it's ridiculous.
Where did it come from?
I've got no idea as they lookedaround the beach.
They Ridiculous.
Where did it come from?
I've got no idea.
As they looked around the beach,they decided that they would
enjoy the new surroundings thatthey had found themselves in.
Let's go down to the water,said Avi.
(05:05):
Good idea, said Caleb, let's go.
Zoe raced down as well, and asthe kids were running down
towards the water, they saw agiant sandcastle off to the side
.
Wow, that's incredible, saidCaleb.
Let's have a look.
They stopped running to thewater and they went over towards
the sandcastle.
As they did, there was a crabsitting on the edge of the
sandcastle.
Hey, look, that crab's almostlooking at us.
Hello, said the crab.
It's talking, said Avi, ofcourse I am talking.
(05:30):
How did you expect to get insidethe castle?
What do you mean inside thecastle?
Said Zoe.
Well, aren't you Caleb, evieand Zoe?
Yes, who are you?
My name is Nippers.
Nippers, said the kids.
What do you mean, nippers?
The crab, clean, crabby Claws,has been waiting for you for a
(05:51):
very long time.
It has taken a long time foryou to find that special bottle
that we left at your house.
You left the special bottle ofspray, said Caleb.
Yes, we did.
We need your help.
What do you need our help with?
Said Ivy See our castle.
Yes, said Zoe, we would like tomake an extension.
(06:13):
An extension, said the kids.
What do you mean?
Well, we have lots of crabsliving in the castle now and we
need more bedrooms.
Do you think that you couldhelp us make a brand new extra
wing on the side of the castle?
Um, okay, said the kids.
Yippee said Nippers.
Okay, said the kids, yippeesaid Nippers.
(06:36):
First things first.
I need you to come down to CrabSize so that we can show you
all the very special things thatwe need done in our new wing of
the castle.
How are we going to be CrabSize, said Avi.
Well, watch this, said Nippers.
As Nippers started to clip hisclaws, all of a sudden they made
a clicky-clacky sound that madea beautiful song, and as the
song was making the noise, itwent into the kids ears and as
(06:58):
it did, they felt themselvesstarting to shrink down.
They got smaller and smallerand smaller, until they were the
same size as Nippers.
Wow, said Zoe, that's amazing.
Come see, said Nippers.
He took them inside and showedthem a big plan of the new area
of the castle that he was hopingthey might be able to build.
Um, this looks exciting, saidZoe.
(07:19):
Yeah, said Caleb, but can wemake some changes?
Oh, what changes.
They looked, and it looked likea bunch of rooms and maybe an
extra little dining room forsome crabs, but it doesn't look
enough.
Fun, said Zoe.
Fun, said Nippers.
Yeah, said Caleb, we need toadd more fun, is that okay?
Sure, we should start building,said the kids.
(07:39):
Um, nippers, it might behelpful if we're back at our
normal size to be able to workon the castle.
We'll be able to do it a lotquicker.
Okay, said Nippers, watch this.
He started clipping his clawsagain and this time it made a
slightly different noise and thekids, as they listened, got
bigger and bigger and bigger,until they were back to their
(08:00):
normal size.
Except Caleb was a little bitsure that Nippers had made him
slightly taller than he wasbefore he started to shrink down
.
He was very excited about this.
All right, we can do it, saidAvi.
Yes, said Zoe, let's startworking.
The kids grabbed some bucketsand spades that they found right
next to the castle and theystarted to sculpt the new extra
(08:20):
wing.
They worked and they worked andthey worked.
It was so much fun.
They kept building and shapingand changing and working so, so
hard as they did, the sandseemed to work in a very special
way.
Why is this so easy, said Avi.
Yeah, I seem to be able to do alot more detail, said Zoe.
Yeah, said Caleb.
Hey, nippers, do you know why?
(08:40):
Because you're using the magicbucket and the magic spades.
They are very, very useful forbuilding very special crab
castles.
Oh, okay, said the kids.
Thanks, nippers.
They worked and continued untilI think we're almost done, said
Zoe Hooray.
Said Caleb, nippers, make ussmall.
We want to show you the newwing of the castle.
(09:02):
Okay, nippers started clippinghis claws once again and the kid
shrunk down to normal crab size.
They walked over to whereNippers was.
Okay, nippers, come see.
They took him into the new wingof the castle.
As Nippers walked in, his eyesstarted to pop.
He was so excited.
Look at all this.
(09:22):
It is amazing, said N nippers.
There's slides and extrabedrooms.
And is that a merry-go-round?
It is, said caleb, I did thatone.
And look what I made over here,said zoe.
Wow, said nippers, as he lookedat the amazing window that zoe
had placed on the side.
She'd found all differentcolors of sea glass and put it
(09:43):
in the window and it was like agiant, beautiful stained glass
window that shone colourfullight into the brand new wing.
This is amazing.
I need to go show the king.
Nippers raced off and the kidswere left standing.
Um, where'd he go?
I hope he's coming back, saidCaleb.
Yeah, said Zoe.
How are we going to get back tonormal size?
(10:04):
Just then, another crab cameracing into the brand new wing
of the castle.
As he arrived, wow, he saidthis is amazing.
I'm King Crabby Claus, he said,and I think that this is the
most beautiful extension to thecastle in the last 27,000 years.
Have you been king for 27,000years?
(10:26):
Said Caleb.
Oh, said Avey.
Well, you're welcome.
Um, okay, said the kids.
Kids Come, said the king.
(10:48):
Let's use the brand new dininghall that you have made, as King
Crabby Claws yelled.
All of a sudden, crabs came fromevery direction.
They set up the brand newdining hall, they brought in
amazing food and even a band ofcrabs started playing music.
The kids sat at the head of thetable with the king and they
were the guests of honor for thebig crab feast.
They ate and they danced andthey played and they sang for
(11:09):
the entire evening.
It was so much fun, as theirtummies were full and their legs
were tired from dancing.
They walked back over to theking.
Excuse me, king, crabby Claws.
Yes, children, we're getting abit tired, is it okay?
If yes, of course, it is timefor you to go home.
We are all so grateful.
(11:31):
Three cheers for the kids.
Yelled the king Hip-hip, andall the crabs yelled Hooray,
hip-hip, hooray, hip-hip, hooray, and all the crabs clapped
together.
The kids felt very, very special.
Okay, said Nippers.
Now do you want to use thereverse version of that cleaning
(11:55):
spray that you had at yourhouse?
Um, how did you make thatcleaning spray, said Avi.
Oh, you use special ocean waterand you put it in the bottle,
and if you wipe it with thespecial seaweed cloth, it takes
you directly to that beach.
Oh well, how are you going toget us back to our house?
Well, I collected some specialwater from your house and made a
(12:19):
very special tiny cloth at thecorner of your curtains.
I hope your mummy doesn'tnotice, hehe, said the kids.
We hope not too.
Watch, said Nippers, as hesprayed some of the special
water on the ground and wiped itwith the curtain cloth that he
had made.
As he wiped in a big circle,the kids could see their house
once again.
All right, bye everybody.
(12:40):
They yelled Thanks for havingus.
Goodbye, children yelled KingCrabby Claws.
Goodbye, said Nippers.
Bye, yelled all the crabs, andthe kids jumped through the
portal and landed back in theirdining room.
As they popped in, they landedin their chairs back in front of
their cereal bowls.
Their mummy walked over andlooked Um, who spilt the juice?
