00:00Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles is a little kingdom of elves and fairies.
00:09Everyone who lives here is very, very small.
00:14I'm Ben Elf!
00:17And I'm Princess Holly!
00:21Come on, let's play!
00:23Wait for us!
00:26Hahaha!
00:29Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom
00:36Today's adventure starts at the little castle.
00:43Queen Thistle's Teapot
00:47Da-da-doo-dum-da-dee-da!
00:50Dum-da-dum-dum-da-dee-da!
00:54Da-da-da-dum-da-dee-da-dee!
00:57My new fairy tea set has arrived!
01:00Oooh!
01:05Oooh! It's so beautiful and it's so sparkly!
01:10It's also very delicate, Holly.
01:12That means it breaks easily, so you can look.
01:15But don't touch.
01:17Yes, Mummy.
01:18It is a beautiful teapot.
01:21Shall I give it a bit of a dust, Your Majesty?
01:24No, Nanny Plum.
01:26Even you mustn't touch it.
01:29Yes, Your Majesty.
01:30Good. Now, as it's such a lovely day, why don't we go for a nice walk?
01:36Can I stay here and look at the tea set instead?
01:39Alright, Holly. But look and don't touch.
01:42Yes, Mummy.
01:45Oooh!
01:50Hello, Nanny Plum.
01:52Hello, Ben.
01:53Can Holly come out to play?
01:55I'm afraid Princess Holly is very busy looking at a teapot.
02:00Ben! I've got something to show you.
02:04OK, Holly!
02:07Look! Mummy's fairy tea set.
02:10Isn't it beautiful?
02:13I suppose so.
02:15No one is allowed to touch it. Not even Nanny.
02:21Why not?
02:22Because it's very delicate.
02:26What can you do with it, then?
02:28Well, you can have tea parties with it, of course.
02:33But we're not supposed to.
02:35Just hold them, silly. It's not hard.
02:39Look at me.
02:42How do you like your tea, Mr. Elf?
02:45Weak ostrich.
02:52Holly! You've broken the Queen's teapot!
02:56Oh no! Mummy will be so sad.
03:00We weren't supposed to touch it, were we?
03:03No. What can we do?
03:06Can you fix it with magic?
03:10I'll try.
03:12Abracadabra, abracadoo, mend this teapot.
03:22Well, that didn't work.
03:25Nanny will know a spell. Let's ask her.
03:29No! We can't tell anyone.
03:31What can we do, then?
03:34Er, Ben, aren't elves good at mending things?
03:39Er, yes.
03:41And you're an elf?
03:43Ben-elf!
03:46So, can you help me mend it?
03:49Er, I'm not sure.
03:51Please, Ben. You're my very best friend.
03:56And you're my only hope.
03:59Er, OK. I've got stuff for mending things at home.
04:05We can carry the pieces in this box.
04:08But what if someone sees us?
04:10I can make us invisible. I know that spell.
04:16Abracadibbly dibble makes us invisible.
04:22Hey, it worked! Come on!
04:30Shh! There's Nanny!
04:33Ben, be quiet!
04:40I bother. My invisible spell has worn off.
04:45That's all right. We're nearly there. No one will see us now.
04:49Hello, Ben. Hello, Princess Holly.
04:52Er, hello, Mrs. Elf.
04:55What are you two up to, then?
04:57Er, nothing, Mum. We're just going to mend something.
05:01Yes. Elves are good at mending things.
05:04And you're an elf.
05:07Yes, Mum.
05:15This is where I keep all my mending stuff.
05:18Glue, paint, brushes...
05:22And glitter. Oh, goody.
05:25First, I have to put a mat down so that we don't get glue on the floor.
05:30Yes.
05:32And we must wear aprons to keep our clothes clean.
05:37Now what?
05:39We stick the pieces together with glue, like this.
05:47One, two, three. There, it's stuck.
05:55One, two, three.
05:59One, two, three.
06:03One, two, three.
06:07One, two, three. There, it's mended.
06:12Hooray!
06:14Hmm, it doesn't look quite right.
06:17Er, we can paint it.
06:20Yes.
06:25That's better.
06:27Hmm, it had flowers on it too.
06:31I'm good at painting flowers.
06:34There.
06:36But I think it was a bit more sparkly.
06:39We can use glitter.
06:43I love glitter. It's so glittery.
06:48There.
06:49Hooray!
06:52Do you think your mum might see the difference?
06:55Er, yes.
06:58Maybe it just needs more glitter.
07:01No, Ben. We tried to mend it, but it didn't work.
07:07We'll just have to ask Nanny Plum for a spell.
07:10Alright, let's go to Nanny.
07:15Da la la dee da da da da
07:19There's Nanny. Go on, ask her for a spell.
07:23Nanny, please can I ask you a question about spells, please?
07:28A question? Of course.
07:31Nanny, a little friend of mine has broken something and wants to mend it.
07:39What spell can she use?
07:41Do I know this little friend?
07:43Er, no. She's a goblin and she lives far away and you don't know her at all.
07:51Is it a special thing this little goblin broke?
07:54Yes.
07:56And did the little goblin break it on purpose?
07:59No, it was an accident. I didn't mean to break it.
08:02Oh, I see. You broke it.
08:05Oh, Nanny, I didn't mean to break it.
08:09Oh, don't worry, Holly. It can't be that bad.
08:12It is that bad.
08:14Don't be silly. It's not as if you've broken the Queen's teapot.
08:18What did you break?
08:20The Queen's teapot.
08:22Oh.
08:23Mummy's going to be so sad.
08:25But we did mend it.
08:27Well, I'm sure it's okay then.
08:30It doesn't look exactly like it did before.
08:34Ah!
08:36Please can you fix it, Nanny?
08:39Don't worry. I know just what to do.
08:42I knew Nanny Plum would have a spell to fix it.
08:45I'm not going to fix it.
08:47Are you going to buy a new teapot?
08:49No. Much simpler than that.
08:52What?
08:54We'll tell the Queen.
09:00Excuse me, Your Majesty.
09:02What is it, Nanny Plum?
09:03Unfortunately, there has been a little accident.
09:07Accident? What happened?
09:09I'm sorry to say that your teapot has been broken.
09:14The teapot I said no one was to touch?
09:18Yes.
09:19Nanny Plum, I told you not to dust that tea set.
09:23Yes, Your Majesty.
09:25I have a good mind to turn you into a slug.
09:28That's a bit harsh, isn't it, darling?
09:30Could you turn me into a snail, perhaps, instead?
09:34No.
09:35Mummy, it was me.
09:37I did it and I've been sad all day.
09:41And now you're going to have to turn me into a slug instead of Nanny.
09:46Oh, no, my poor darling.
09:50Don't be sad. It's only a silly piece of pottery.
09:53But, Mummy, you were going to turn Nanny into a slug.
09:57Oh, I didn't really mean that.
10:00Huh?
10:01Sorry I made you sad, Mummy.
10:04Oh, Holly, I'm only sad that you felt you couldn't tell me.
10:08We did try and mend it.
10:10It doesn't look like it did before.
10:13But the children have tried their hardest.
10:16Oh!
10:18That is beautiful.
10:20Just as beautiful as it was before.
10:22Shall I give it a dust, Your Majesty?
10:25No.
10:26This is one of a kind and very fragile.
10:29No one must touch it.
10:31Promise.
10:32We promise.
10:33I will treasure it forever.
