1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Books at Bed time by calming anxiety,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Sun and Moon by Catherine Mansfield.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
In the afternoon the chairs came,

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
a whole big cartful of little gold ones

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
with their legs in the air,

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
and then the flowers came.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
When you stared down from the balcony

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
at the people carrying them,

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
the flower pots looked like funny, awfully nice hats,

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
nodding up the path.

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Moon thought they were hats,

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
she said, "Look, there's a man wearing a palm on his head."

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
But she never knew the difference between real things

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and not real one.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
There was nobody to look after Sun and Moon.

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Nurse was helping Annie alter mother's dress,

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
which was much too long and tight under the arms,

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
and mother was running all over the house

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
and telephoning father to be sure not to forget things.

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
She only had time to say, "Out of my way children,

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
they kept out of her way, at any rate, Sunday.

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
He did so hate being sent stumping back to the nursery.

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
It didn't matter about Moon.

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
If she got tangled in people's legs,

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
they only threw her up and shook her till she squeaked.

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
But Sun was too heavy for that.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
He was so heavy that the fat man

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
who came to dinner on Sundays used to say,

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
"Now young man, let's try to lift you."

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And then he'd put his thumbs under Sun's arms and groan

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and try and give it up at last saying,

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
"He's a perfect little ton of bricks."

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Nearly all the furniture was taken out of the dining room.

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
The big piano was put in a corner

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
and then there came a row of flower pots

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
and then there came the golden chairs.

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
That was for a concert.

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
When Sun looked in a white-faced man sat at the piano,

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
not playing but banging at it and then looking inside.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
He had a bag of tools on the piano

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
and he had stuck his hat on a statue against the wall.

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Sometimes he just started to play

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
and then he jumped up again and looked inside.

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Sun hoped he wasn't the concert.

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
But of course the place to be was in the kitchen.

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
There was a man helping in a cap like a plamange

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
and their real cook, Mini,

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
was all red in the face and laughing,

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
not cross at all.

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
She gave them each an almond finger

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
and lifted them up onto the flower bin

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
so that they could watch the wonderful things

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
that she and the man were making for supper.

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Cook brought in the things

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
and he put the Mondishes and trim them.

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
All fishes with their heads and eyes and tails still on.

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
He sprinkled with red and green and yellow bits.

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
He made squiggles all over the jellies.

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
He stuck a collar on a hammock

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
and put a very thin sort of a fork in it.

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
He dotted almonds and tiny round biscuits on the creams

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
and more and more things coming.

63
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
But you haven't seen the ice pudding said, "Cook, come along."

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
"Why was she being so nice, thought son?"

65
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
As she gave the meat her hand

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
and they looked into the refrigerator.

67
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
"Oh, oh, it's a nice little house."

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
It was a little pink house

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
with white snow on the roof and green windows

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
and a brown door.

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
And stuck in the door,

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
there was a nut for a handle.

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
When son saw the nut,

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
he felt quite tired and had to lean against cook.

75
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
"Let me touch it.

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Just let me put my finger on the roof," said Moon, dancing.

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
"He always wanted to touch all the food."

78
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
"Son, didn't?"

79
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
"Now, my girl, look sharp with a table," said Cook

80
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
as the housemaid came in.

81
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
"It's a picture," Moon said Nelly,

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
"come along and have a look."

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
So they all went into the dining room.

84
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Son and Moon were almost frightened.

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
They wouldn't go up to the table at first.

86
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
They just stood at the door and made eyes at it.

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
It wasn't a real night yet,

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
but the blinds were down and in the dining room

89
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
and then the lights turned on

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
and all the lights were red roses.

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Red ribbons and bunches of roses

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
tied up the table at the corners.

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
In the middle was a lake,

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
with rose petals floating on it.

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
"That's where the ice puddings to be," said Cook.

96
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Two silver lions, with wings,

97
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
had fruit on their backs

98
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
and the salt sellers were tiny birds drinking out of basins.

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
And all the winking glasses

100
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
and shining plates and sparkling knives and forks

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
and all food and the little red table

102
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
napkins made into roses.

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
"Our people going to eat the food, our son?"

104
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
"I should just think they are a loft cook,

105
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
laughing with Nelly."

106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Moon laughed too.

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
She always did the same as other people,

108
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
but son didn't want to laugh.

109
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Round and round he walked

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
with his hands behind his back.

111
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
"Perhaps you would never have stopped

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
if nurse hadn't called suddenly.

113
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
"Now then children,

114
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
it's high time you are washed and dressed

115
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
and they were marched off to the nursery."

116
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
While they were being unbuttoned,

117
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
mother looked in with a white thing over her shoulders.

118
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000
She was rubbing stuff into her face.

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
I'll ring for them when I want them nurse

120
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
and then they can just come down and be seen

121
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
like again she said.

122
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
"Son was undressed.

123
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
First nearly to his skin

124
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
and dressed again in a white shirt

125
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
with red and white daisies speckled on it.

126
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Breaches with strings at the sides

127
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
and braces that came over.

128
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
White socks and red shoes."

129
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
"Now you are in your Russian costume," said nurse,

130
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
flattening down his fringe.

131
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
"Am I?" said son.

132
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
"Yes, sit quiet in that chair

133
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
and watch your little sister."

134
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Moon took ages.

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
When she had her socks put on,

136
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
she pretended to fall back on the bed

137
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
and waved her legs at nurse as she always did.

138
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
And every time nurse tried to make her curls

139
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
with a finger and a wet brush

140
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
she turned round in asked nurse

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
to show her the photo of her brooch

142
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
or something like that.

143
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
But at last she was finished too.

144
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Her dress stuck out with fur on it.

145
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
All white,

146
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
there was even fluffy stuff on the legs of her curls.

147
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Her shoes were white with big blobs on them.

148
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
"There you are, my lamb," said nurse.

149
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
"And you look like a sweet little cherub

150
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
of a picture or a powder puff.

151
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Nurse rushed to the door."

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
"Mah, one moment."

153
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Mother came in again

154
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
with half her hair down.

155
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
"Oh, she cried.

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
What a picture."

157
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
"Isn't she?" said nurse.

158
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
A moon held out her skirts by the tips

159
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
and dragged one of her feet.

160
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Son didn't mind people noticing him much.

161
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
After that,

162
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000
they played clean, tidy games up at the table

163
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
while nurse stood at the door.

164
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
And when the carriages began to come

165
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
and the sound of laughter and voices

166
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
and soft rustlings came from down below,

167
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
she whispered,

168
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
"Now then children, stay where you are."

169
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Moon kept jerking the tablecloth

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000
so that it all hung down her side

171
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
and son hadn't any

172
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
and then she pretended she didn't do it on purpose.

173
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
At last, the bell rang.

174
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Nurse pounced at them with the hairbrush,

175
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
flattened his fringe,

176
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
made her bow stand on end

177
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
and joined their hands together.

178
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
"Down you go," she whispered.

179
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
And down they went.

180
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Son did feel silly holding Moon's hand like that,

181
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
but Moon seemed to like it.

182
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
She swung her arm and the bell

183
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
on her coral bracelet jingled.

184
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
At the drawing-room door stood mother,

185
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
fanning herself with a black fan.

186
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
The drawing-room was full of sweet smelling,

187
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
silky rustling ladies

188
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
and men in black with funny tails on their coats,

189
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
like beetles.

190
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Father was among them,

191
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
talking very loud

192
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
and rattling something in his pocket.

193
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
What a picture cried the ladies.

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Oh, the ducks, oh, the lambs, oh, the sweets, oh, the pets.

195
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
All the people who couldn't get at Moon kissed Sun,

196
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
and a skinny old lady with teeth that clicked said,

197
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
"such a serious little puppet,

198
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
and wrapped him on the head with something hard."

199
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Son looked to see if the same concert was there,

200
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
but it was gone.

201
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Instead, a fat man with a pink head

202
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
leaned over the piano,

203
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000
and looked to a girl who held a violin at her ear.

204
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000
There was only one man that Sun really liked.

205
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
He was a little gray man,

206
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
with long gray whiskers,

207
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
who walked about by himself.

208
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
He came up to Sun,

209
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
and rolled his eyes in a very nice way and said,

210
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
"Hello, my lad."

211
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Then he went away.

212
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
But soon he came back again and said,

213
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
"Fond of dogs?"

214
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Sun said yes.

215
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
But then he went away again,

216
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
and though Sun looked for him everywhere,

217
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
he could not find him.

218
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
He thought perhaps he'd gone outside to fetch in a puppy.

219
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
"Goodnight, my precious baby," said Mother,

220
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
folding them up in her bare arms,

221
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
"vi-up to your little nest."

222
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Then Moon went,

223
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
and made a silly of herself again.

224
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
She put her arms in front of her body and said,

225
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
"My daddy must carry me."

226
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
But they seemed to like it,

227
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
and Daddy swooped down and picked her up as he always did.

228
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Nurse was in such a hurry to get them to bed

229
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,000
that she even interrupted Sun over his prayers and said,

230
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
"Get on with them, child, do."

231
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
And the moment after, they were in bed,

232
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
and in the dark except for the nightlight in a little saucer.

233
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
"Are you asleep?" asked Moon.

234
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
"No," said Sun,

235
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
"Are you?"

236
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
"No," said Moon.

237
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
"A long while after Sun woke up again,

238
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
there was a loud, loud noise of clapping from downstairs,

239
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
like when it rains."

240
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
He heard Moon turn over.

241
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Moon,

242
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
"Are you awake?"

243
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
"Yes."

244
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
"Are you?"

245
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
"Yes."

246
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
"Well, let's go and look over the stairs."

247
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
They had just got settled on the top step

248
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
when the drawing-room door opened

249
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
and they heard the party cross over the hall into the dining room.

250
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Then the door was shut.

251
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
There was a noise of pops and laughing,

252
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
then that stopped,

253
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
and Sun saw them all walking round and round the lovely table

254
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
with their hands behind their backs like he had done.

255
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
They were all around and round they walked,

256
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
looking and staring.

257
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
The man with the grey whiskers,

258
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
liked the little house-bath.

259
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
When he saw the nut for a handle,

260
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
he rolled his eyes like he did before,

261
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
and said to Sun,

262
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
"See the nut."

263
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
"Don't nod your head like that, Moon.

264
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
I'm not nodding it to you.

265
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
It is not.

266
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
I never nod my head."

267
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
"Oh, you do.

268
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
You're nodding it now.

269
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
I'm not.

270
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
I'm only showing you how not to do it."

271
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
When they woke up again,

272
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
they could only hear Father's voice very loud,

273
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
a mother laughing away.

274
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Father came out of the dining room,

275
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
bounded up the stairs,

276
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
and nearly fell over them.

277
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
"Hello," he said,

278
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
"by Jove Kitty.

279
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Come and look at this."

280
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Mother came out,

281
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
"Oh, you naughty children,"

282
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
she said from the hall.

283
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
"Let's have them down and give them a bone,"

284
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
said Father.

285
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000
"Sun had never seen him so jolly."

286
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
"No, certainly not," said Mother.

287
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
"Oh, my daddy do.

288
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Do have us down," said Moon.

289
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
"I'm hanged if I won't cry, Father.

290
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
I won't be bullied Kitty, way there,

291
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
and he caught them up, one under each arm."

292
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
"Sun thought Mother would have been dreadfully cross,

293
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
but she wasn't.

294
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
She kept on laughing at Father.

295
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
"Oh, you dreadful boy," she said,

296
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
"but she didn't mean Son.

297
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Come on, Kitty.

298
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Come and have some pickings," said this jolly Father,

299
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
but Moon stopped a minute.

300
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Mother, your dress is right off one side.

301
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
It is said Mother,

302
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
and Father said yes,

303
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
and pretended to bite her white shoulder,

304
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
but she pushed him away.

305
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
And so they went back to the beautiful dining room.

306
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
But, oh, what had happened?

307
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,000
The ribbons and the roses were all pulled untied.

308
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
The little red napkins lay on the floor.

309
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
All the shining plates were dirty,

310
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
and all the winking glasses.

311
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
The lovely food that the man had trimmed

312
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
was all thrown about,

313
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
and there were bones and bits of fruit peels and shells everywhere.

314
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
There was even a bottle lying down

315
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
with stuff coming out of it on the cloth,

316
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
and nobody stood it up again.

317
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
And the little pink house,

318
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000
with the snow roof and the green windows, was broken.

319
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Half melted away in the centre of the table.

320
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
"Come on, son," said Father,

321
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
pretending not to notice.

322
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Moon lifted up her pajama legs

323
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
and shuffled up to the table

324
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
and stood on a chair, squeaking away.

325
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
"Have a bit of this ice," said Father,

326
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
smashing in some roof.

327
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Mother took a little plate and held it for him.

328
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
She put her other arm around his neck.

329
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
"Daddy, daddy," shrieked Moon.

330
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
The little handles left,

331
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
the little nut,

332
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
"Can I eat it?"

333
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000
And she reached a cross,

334
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
and picked it out to the door

335
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
and scrunched it up, biting hard and blinking.

336
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
"Here, my lad," said Father,

337
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
"but son did not move from the door.

338
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Suddenly, he put up his head and gave a loud wail.

339
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
"I think it's horrid, horrid, horrid," he sobbed.

340
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
"There, you see," said Mother,

341
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
"you see?"

342
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
"Off with you," said Father,

343
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
"no longer jolly,

344
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
this moment of you go,

345
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
and wailing loudly,

346
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
sun stomped off to the nursery."

347
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,480


348
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:40,480
