Speaker 1 (00:06):
One day, two little kids named Alex and Kenzie were
sitting down and eating theirbreakfast.
They were having some ricebubbles and it was very
delicious, but as they weremunching, they could hear some
noises outside.
Okay, I think we can put thisover here.
And where was my hard hat?
What was that?
Said Kenzie.
I don't know, said Alex, let'sgo see.
(00:26):
They raced outside to see whatwas going on and when they got
out the door there was a purplefuzzy creature wearing a hard
hat.
Hello, said the purple fuzzycreature.
Who, who are you?
Said Alex, I am the Pimpin.
Everybody knows that I am thePimpin, did you not know?
Everybody knows that I am thePimpin, did you not know?
Um, no, said Kenzie.
Wet, pimpin is me and I am thePimpin and I am the best in the
(00:50):
whole entire world.
Why are you wearing a hard hat?
Said Kenzie.
Oh, because of something very,very exciting, super, duper
exciting.
Do you want to see?
See what said Alex?
Come with me, said Pimpin.
Um, hang on a second.
The kids went back inside.
Hey, mum, there's a purple,fuzzy creature that wants us to
come on an adventure with him.
Is it Pimpin?
(01:11):
Said their mum.
It is Pimpin.
Well, off you go.
Then she said Okay, said thekids.
They raced back outside.
Um, we're allowed to come withyou, hooray, said Pimpin.
Okay, jump in this one.
Pimpin had a truck that wassitting out the front of their
house.
Where's it going to take us?
Said Kenzie.
You will see, said Pimpin.
So the kids jumped in andPimpin started to drive.
(01:33):
He wasn't a very good driver.
He was a little bit all overthe road, are you okay?
Said Kenzie.
Um, yes, I haven't driven atruck this big before.
Actually, I haven't done any ofthis before.
What, said Alex?
Any of what?
Um, well, I better not tell youyet because it is too exciting,
said Pimpin.
So the kids sat and Pimpindrove.
And as they drove, pimpin cametowards a giant construction
(01:57):
site.
It was huge.
What are they building here,said Kenzie.
Well, it is not really thematter of what they are building
, it is more a matter of what Iam going to do, said Pimpin.
And what are you going to do,said Alex.
Come with me, said Pimpin.
But you need your hard hats.
Pimpin pulled out two more hardhats and popped them on the
(02:17):
heads of the kids.
Come on, let's go, let's go,let's go.
Said Pimpin as he jumped out ofthe truck and started
cartwheeling across towards thebuilding site.
Oh dear, said Alex, I thinkthis could get a little bit
ridiculous.
As they walked into theconstruction site, pimpin
started walking straight past awhole bunch of people that were
working.
Hey, what are you doing?
Oh, don't worry, I am in chargehere.
(02:38):
No, you're not, I'm in charge,said a different man.
No, no, you just thought youwere in charge, and now I am in
charge.
Get back to work, said Pimpin.
The man was very confused.
Pimpin kept walking.
He walked past the people thatwere putting all kinds of
structure together, straighttowards a funny looking ladder.
Where does this ladder go, saidKenzie.
Yeah, said Alex, where does itgo?
(02:58):
Look at me Up, said Pimpin.
The kids looked up.
It turns out it wasn't just aladder, it was some kind of
gigantic ladder that led all theway to.
Is that a crane?
Said Alex.
It is a crane, said Pimpin, andI have decided that I am going
to be a crane driver.
What said the kids?
You can help, come on, let's go.
(03:20):
So Pimpin and the kids startedclimbing up the giant ladder
towards the crane.
It was very, very, very high.
The kids had never been so highin their whole entire life.
They got higher and higher andhigher until they reached the
actual crane and they climbedinside.
Okay, kids, which one of youknows how to drive a crane?
What said Alex?
We don't know how to drive acrane Me either, said Pimpim,
(03:42):
but I'm sure we can work it out.
We just need to grab control ofthese handily things.
I think I'll sit in this chairand you kids do the watching.
Okay, said the kids.
They looked out the windows andpimp him grabbed control of the
levers inside the crane.
Um, I wonder what this one does.
Wow, pimp him spun the cranearound in a big circle.
(04:02):
Whoa, said the kids.
That seems to spin it.
Oh, that was fun, let's spinthe other way.
Wow, pimpin spun the cranearound in a big circle.
Whoa, said the kids.
That seems to spin it.
Oh, that was fun, let's spinthe other way.
Whoa, pimpin spun it aroundagain.
Pimpin, yelled the kids.
Okay, what does this one do?
Said Pimpin as he pushed theother lever and the crane arm
seemed to move up and down.
Okay, that is the crane arm.
This one is the spinny Whoa,that is the crane arm.
(04:23):
This one is the spinny Woo.
The kids started to spin again.
Pimpin, stop spinning the crane, but it is so much fun.
Ready, watch, woo, woo, woo Woo.
I'm getting dizzy.
Called out Kenzie, me too, saidAlex, me three, said Pimpin,
it's the best, oh dear, said thekids.
Pimpin, slow down.
Okay, now we need to do thepicky-uppy of the things.
(04:43):
The picky-uppy of the things,said Alex, what do you mean?
Okay, which one drops down thebig cable with the big grabby
arms?
The kids looked around.
Maybe this one, said Kenzie.
Pim-pim started pressing thebutton.
It's working, hurry, okay.
So first thing that we need topick up is I don't know what
could we pick up?
I don't know, said the kids,maybe some of the construction
(05:10):
materials?
All of a sudden they heard avoice on the walkie-talkie that
was inside the crane.
Whoever's up in that crane, getout right now.
This is the boss.
You shouldn't be up there.
I know, said Pimpin, let's pickup the man on the other end of
the walkie-talkie.
What said the kids?
I can do it, said Pimpin.
First we need to spin aroundthree times.
I'm still dizzy, said Alex.
(05:32):
Then we do the army thing.
The arm of the crane went upand down.
Then we drop the grabby claw.
Pimpin started to drop thegrabby claw of the crane.
It went straight down towardsthe man who was on the
walkie-talkie.
What?
What's going on?
He said Stop what you're doing,get out of the crane.
But it was too late.
The grabby arm of the crane hadreached all the way down and
(05:54):
grabbed hold of the boss of thebuilding site.
Then it picked him up in theair.
Put me down.
He yelled.
Um, I think that we should dosome swinging.
Everybody likes the swing, saidPimpin.
Uh, yeah, I like the swing,said Alex.
Would you like to do theswinging?
How do I do it, said Alex.
Well, I think you get thislever just here and you go from
(06:15):
side to side.
Um, okay, he said.
Alex started moving the leverfrom side to side and, sure
enough, the crane started movingback and forth and the boss of
the building site started toswing from side to side.
Wow, put me down.
(06:35):
He yelled.
The kids laughed as he swungall around the place.
Okay, now we need to put himoutside the building site so he
cannot stop us from playing withthe crane.
Okay, we move it this way.
Pimpin continued to move thecrane and then we stretch it
this way and then we put him onthe bus.
What said Kenzie?
(06:56):
Pimp, pim lowered the grabbyarm of the crane until it
dropped the boss of the buildingsite on top of a bus that was
moving.
Wait, I gotta keep working,said the boss as the bus drove
away.
Now that the boss is out of theway, we can have some real fun.
Who wants to do some building?
Um, um, I like buildingsometimes, said Alex.
(07:17):
Me too, said Kenzie, let's doit.
So Pimpin and the kids startedusing the crane to grab the
building materials and makesomething special.
What are we going to make?
Um, do you want to make acastle?
Said Alex.
Yay, said Kenzie, let's do it.
So Alex and Kenzie and Pimpinworked with the crane and
started moving things around.
All of a sudden they heard avoice on the radio Uh, excuse me
(07:41):
, crane driver, yes, um, whatare you trying to build?
Uh, the kids want to build acastle.
Can you help us?
Oh, that sounds like fun.
Let's do it, said the workerdown the bottom.
Then Pimpin and the kids couldsee all the workers starting to
talk together.
Crane driver, do you have aname?
(08:01):
Oh, yes, I am the Pimpim.
Okay, pimpim, grab these onesover here and move them over to
that spot over there.
That'll work good for thecastle wall.
Hooray, said Pimpim.
And so Pimpim and the kids andthe workers all worked together.
They used the crane and pickedup all different building
materials and placed them in alldifferent areas.
Then they grabbed some bits andput it up.
(08:24):
As the castle it got taller andbigger.
They worked so quickly and sofast, it was amazing.
Until the castle was completelydone.
Hooray, said Pimpin.
Um, can we go play in thecastle?
Said Alex.
Yes, said Kenzie.
Can we do that?
Of course, maybe I can put youdown there.
Hang on, I lift the grabby armup.
(08:46):
Pimpin lifted the grabby arm ofthe crane back up again and then
it seemed to swing around alittle bit.
What are you doing, said Pimpin.
I gotta swing it inside thecrane.
What said the kids?
Okay, hold still.
And as Pimpim flicked it, thegrabby arm of the crane flicked
inside the crane and grabbedboth the kids.
Wow, they said as they swungoutside the crane.
(09:06):
Then Pimpim lowered them downonto the roof of the castle.
This is the best yelled Alex.
No, pimpim is the best yelled.
Pimpim, kenzie laughed.
All the workers were therewaiting and they were pretending
to be soldiers.
Are you the king and queen ofthe castle, said one of the
builders Um, I think so, saidAlex, we are, said Kenzie.
(09:27):
Well, we are here to serve you.
They laughed, and so they allplayed castles for the rest of
the afternoon.
After they had been playing fora while, the boss of the
building site started walkingback in through the front gates.
He looked up at the castle, helooked at the kids standing on
top of the castle, he looked atall of his workers pretending to
(09:48):
be soldiers.
What, what is going on here?
He said.
Well, said Alex, I don't thinkyou'd believe us, even if we
