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
00:35Today's adventure starts at the meadow.
00:43Elf school!
00:48Now, Princess Holly, what's the name of this flower?
00:51That's easy, Nanny. It's a daisy!
00:55Yes, yes. An elf might call it a daisy, but a fairy princess would call it a bellis paenius.
01:04Bellis paenius.
01:08Correct! Now, what is this bluebell called?
01:13A bluebell?
01:15Oh, no, no, no. A fairy princess would call it a hyacinthoides nonscripta.
01:22Oh, Nanny. Nature class is so boring.
01:28Why do I have to learn the proper names of all these flowers?
01:32That is the sort of thing a fairy princess needs to know.
01:35Well, maybe I don't want to be a fairy princess.
01:42Hi, Holly!
01:43Hi, Ben. Where are you going?
01:46I'm off to elf school.
01:48Oh, what do you do at elf school?
01:51We learn how to make toys.
01:53That sounds fun.
01:55It is. Elves love making toys, and I'm an elf.
02:02I want to make toys.
02:05Nanny, can I go to elf school too?
02:08But you're not an elf. You're a royal fairy princess.
02:12Oh, please, Nanny Plum.
02:14Please, Nanny Plum. Let Holly come.
02:18Oh, okay.
02:20Hooray!
02:23But I'll come along too, just to make sure you don't get into any mischief.
02:28Okay, but hurry. We can't be late for elf school.
02:32We're going to elf school. We're going to elf school.
02:36We're going to elf school. We're going to elf school.
02:43We're going to elf school. We're going to elf school.
02:48Come on. Elf school is at the top of the tree.
02:52Ooh!
03:02Good morning, boys and girls.
03:05Good morning, wise old elf.
03:08Ahem. Ah, Nanny Plum.
03:11Hello, Mr. Old Elf.
03:13Hello.
03:14Princess Holly wants to see what elves get up to in your little school.
03:19Hmm. Very well. Holly may join the class.
03:23Oh, goody.
03:25But no magic or flying, please.
03:29Okay.
03:30Holly, sit next to me.
03:34No flying. You will kindly walk.
03:39Flying is not allowed at elf school.
03:42Only because elves can't fly.
03:45Ahem. That's right, Mistress Plum.
03:48Elves cannot fly.
03:50But we do have very good hearing.
03:56And elves are very good at making toys.
04:00So, today, we are going to make toys.
04:05Hooray!
04:06We will carry on from where we left off last time.
04:13I'm making a toy car.
04:15I'm making a toy duck.
04:18A toy helicopter.
04:20A toy boat.
04:22I'm making a toy frog.
04:24A toy rabbit.
04:26I'm making a robot.
04:28Ooh!
04:30I see that Miss Holly does not have a toy.
04:33That's okay. I'll magic one.
04:36Zing, zang, zingy, zoy.
04:39Magic me a little toy.
04:45Huh?
04:48Ooh!
04:54Miss Holly, magic is not allowed at elf school.
04:59Only because elves can't do magic.
05:02Ahem. Elves could do magic if they wanted to.
05:06But elves don't do magic.
05:09And we're elves.
05:16Miss Holly, you can work on this toy owl for today.
05:22Thank you, Wise Old Elf.
05:24And I will take this wand for now.
05:29So that you learn how to work the proper elf way without magic.
05:35Oh.
05:36Don't worry. You can have it back at the end of the class.
05:42Boys and girls, take out your hammers and remember to tap gently.
06:00I know. I didn't mean to do the hat.
06:04Don't worry, Holly. I'll fix it.
06:08I've still got my magic wand.
06:10But Nanny, magic isn't allowed at elf school.
06:15Oh, it'll be all right. No one will notice.
06:20Knick, knack, knowl.
06:22Oh, it'll be all right. No one will notice.
06:27Knick, knack, knowl. Mend this owl.
06:32What was that loud bang?
06:35Er, I think there's a bit of a storm brewing outside.
06:41Hmm. Well, as long as there's no magic going on...
06:45I assure you, Mr Old Elf, Princess Holly is not using magic.
06:51Naughty Nanny Plum.
06:53Oh, shush.
06:55Now it's time to paint our toys.
06:59Remember, be very careful. A little paint goes a long, long way.
07:07Oh, bother. Doing things without magic is very hard.
07:12Maybe you need just a teeny tiny bit of magic.
07:17Oh, are you sure?
07:19Trust me.
07:21Ahem. Zigzag.
07:24Zigzag.
07:26Zigzag.
07:28Zigzag.
07:30Zigzag.
07:33Oh, bother.
07:35Trust me.
07:37Ahem. Zigzag.
07:39Zigzag.
07:41Zigzag.
07:45Oh, bother.
07:47Zigzag.
07:49Zigzag.
07:51Zigzag.
07:53Zigzag.
07:55Zigzag.
07:57Zigzag.
07:59on around here? Wise old elf, what do we do next? A good question Holly. Next we wind
08:08the toys up. Look, it works. Wow. Cool. Go on, do something. Nanny, my owl doesn't work.
08:38Don't worry, I'll just give it a little help. Nanny Plum, have you been doing magic? Just
08:52a teeny tiny little bit, to help things along. You are a very naughty fairy. Sorry, wise
09:00old elf. We'll say no more about it. Now Holly, let's see what your owl can do. It doesn't
09:14work at all. Maybe too much magic went into its making. I can fix it. I'm very good at
09:27mending things. There, that should do it. Hooray! Thank you Ben. I did try to do it
09:53the elf way. Yes Holly, I know you did. But it's not easy to make toys without using magic.
10:02It's easy for us because we're elves. Now Holly, here's your wand back. Thank you. And
10:16remember, no magic until you have left the classroom. Yes, wise old elf. And that goes
