1 00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:07,330 Hello everyone! How are you today? I hope that you are very happy and you are 2 00:00:07,330 --> 00:00:12,089 being very good with mommy and daddy. Today I am going to read you a book 3 00:00:12,089 --> 00:00:18,030 which is called Room on the Broom. It's one of my favourites so we are going to 4 00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:29,890 see a story about a witch and different animals. Are you ready to start? Yes? 5 00:00:29,890 --> 00:00:38,969 The witch had a cat and a very tall hat, a long ginger hair which she wore in a plant. 6 00:00:38,969 --> 00:00:46,890 How the cat purred and how the witch grinned as they sat on the broomstick and flew through 7 00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:49,890 the wind. 8 00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:57,009 But how the witch wailed and how the cat spat when the wind blew so wildly it blew off the 9 00:00:57,009 --> 00:00:58,009 hat. 10 00:00:58,009 --> 00:01:18,920 Down! cried the witch, and they flew to the crown. They searched for the hat, but no hat could be found. 11 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:28,920 Then, out of the bushes, on thundering pools, there bounded a dog with the hat in his jaws. 12 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:36,920 He dropped it politely, then eagerly said, as the witch pulled the hat firmly down on her head, 13 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,920 I am a dog, as keen as can be. Is there room at the broom for a dog like me? 14 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,920 Yes! cried the witch, and the dog clambered on. 15 00:01:50,920 --> 00:02:02,469 The witch tapped the broomstick, and whoosh! they were gone. 16 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:14,110 Over the fields and the forest they flew. The dog waked his tail, and stormy wind blew. 17 00:02:14,110 --> 00:02:21,110 The witch laughed aloud and held on to her hat. 18 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:28,000 But away blew the bow from her long ginger plait, 19 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:39,930 cried the witch, and they flew to the ground. 20 00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:44,930 They searched for the bow, but no bow could be found. 21 00:02:44,930 --> 00:02:49,930 Then, out from a tree with an ear-splitting streak, 22 00:02:49,930 --> 00:02:53,930 there flopped a green bird with a bow in her beak. 23 00:02:53,930 --> 00:03:01,789 her beak. She dropped it politely and bent her head low, then said, as the witch tied 24 00:03:01,789 --> 00:03:09,189 her plate in a bow, I am a bird as green as can be. Is there room on the broom for a bird 25 00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:26,150 like me? Yes, cried the witch. So the bird fluttered on. The witch tapped the broomstick 26 00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:43,689 and whoosh they were gone over the reeds and the rivers they flew the birds shriek with glee and stormy wind blew 27 00:03:43,689 --> 00:04:02,870 they shot through sky to the back of beyond the witch clutched her bow but let go of her wand 28 00:04:02,870 --> 00:04:13,569 Down, cried the witch, and they flew to the ground. They searched for the wand, but no wand could be found. 29 00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:31,629 Then, all of the sudden, from out of a pond, left a dripping wet frog with a dripping wet wand. He dropped it politely, then said with a croak, as the witch tried the wand, on the fall of her croak. 30 00:04:31,629 --> 00:04:38,629 I'm a frog, as clean as can be. Is there room on the broom for a frog like me? 31 00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:44,629 Mmm, yes, said the witch. So the frog bounded on. 32 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:55,990 The witch tapped the broomstick and whoosh, they were gone. 33 00:04:55,990 --> 00:05:01,990 Over the moors and the mountains they flew. The frog jumped for joy. 34 00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:38,569 I am a dragon, as mean as can be, and I'm planning to have witch and chips for 35 00:05:38,569 --> 00:05:57,930 Oh no! cried the witch, flying higher and higher. The dragon flew after her, breathing of fire. Help! cried the witch, flying down to the ground. She looked all around, but no help could be found. 36 00:05:57,930 --> 00:06:05,389 The dragon drew nearer and nearer, and licking his lips, said, 37 00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:09,310 Maybe this one, I'll have which without chips. 38 00:06:14,410 --> 00:06:21,870 But just as he planned to begin his feast, from out of a ditch rose a horrible beast. 39 00:06:22,449 --> 00:06:26,589 It was tall, dark, and sticky. It was feathered and furred. 40 00:06:26,589 --> 00:06:31,209 It had four frightful heads. It has wings like a bird. 41 00:06:31,610 --> 00:06:53,550 and its terrible voice when it started to speak was a jowl and a growl and a croak and a shriek it dripped and it squelched and it threw from the ditch and it says to the dragon bust off that's my witch 42 00:06:53,550 --> 00:07:07,949 Then the dragon flew back and he started to shake. I'm sorry, he spluttered, I've made a mistake. It's nice to have met you, but now I must fly. 43 00:07:07,949 --> 00:07:14,949 And he spread out his wings and was off to the sky. 44 00:07:14,949 --> 00:07:20,949 Then down flew the bird and down jumped the frog. 45 00:07:20,949 --> 00:07:24,949 Down climbed the cat and, phew, said the dog, 46 00:07:24,949 --> 00:07:29,949 Oh, thank you, oh, thank you, the Grateful Witch cried 47 00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:34,949 with all joy and peace in the dragon's inside. 48 00:07:34,949 --> 00:07:41,949 Then she filled up her cauldron and said with a grin, 49 00:07:41,949 --> 00:07:44,949 Find something everyone, throw something in. 50 00:07:44,949 --> 00:07:49,949 So the frog found a lily, the cat found a cone, 51 00:07:49,949 --> 00:07:54,949 the bird found a twig and the dog found a bone. 52 00:07:54,949 --> 00:07:58,949 They threw the limb on and the witch stirred them well 53 00:07:58,949 --> 00:08:02,949 and while she was stirring she marked her spell. 54 00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:27,550 Igity, zigity, zagity, zoom! Then out rose a truly magnificent room with seats for the witch and the cat and the dog, a nest for the bird and a shower for the frog. 55 00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:31,689 Yes, cried the witch, and they all clung on. 56 00:08:31,689 --> 00:08:40,350 The witch tapped the broomstick and whoosh, they were gone. 57 00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:45,029 And that is the end of the story. 58 00:08:45,029 --> 00:08:48,629 I hope you really enjoyed it and you liked it very much. 59 00:08:48,629 --> 00:08:49,629 Bye bye everyone. 60 00:08:49,629 --> 00:08:50,629 I miss you a lot. 61 00:08:50,629 --> 00:08:51,129 Mwah, mwah, mwah.
