00:00Mummy, said Said, I'm meeting someone by a special pond.
00:06It's someone of whom I'm most fond.
00:09But it may be a little hard to find, so please help me, if you'd be so kind.
00:16Why of course, said Mummy, I don't mind.
00:20A pond shouldn't be too hard to find.
00:23So they set off, walking along, through a park, and way beyond, until they stumbled
00:30upon a dark, green, murky pond.
00:36That's not the pond we're looking for, said Said.
00:39Its water doesn't look yummy.
00:41The special pond is sweeter than honey.
00:45Sweeter than honey, said Mummy.
00:48How delicious that pond must be.
00:51And if you find it, just who do you hope to see?
00:55He told me have patience, said Said, until you meet me.
01:01So they marched on, crossing a meadow, and way beyond, until they stumbled upon a rich,
01:09thick, sticky pond.
01:12No, that can't be it, said Said.
01:17Its colour is dark like the night.
01:19The special pond is brighter than milk white.
01:23Brighter than milk white, said Mummy.
01:26How delightful that pond must be.
01:29And if you find it, just who do you hope to see?
01:33He told me have patience, said Said, until you meet me.
01:40So they rambled on, into a forest, and way beyond, until they stumbled upon a bright,
01:49white, sparkling pond.
01:52Oh, that's not the one, said Said.
01:56I can jump across it in a few strides, but it would take me a month's ride to cross
02:01just one of the special pond sides.
02:04A month to cross one side, said Mummy.
02:07How gigantic that pond must be.
02:10And if you find it, just who do you hope to see?
02:14He told me have patience, said Said, until you meet me.
02:21So they trekked on, up a mountain, and way beyond, until they stumbled upon a vast, deep,
02:32steamy pond.
02:34Definitely not, said Said, sniffing the air.
02:38It smells like rotten rusk.
02:41The special pond's scent is finer than musk.
02:45Finer than musk, said Mummy.
02:47How fragrant that pond must be.
02:50And if you find it, just who do you hope to see?
02:54He told me have patience, said Said, until you meet me.
03:01So they roamed on, across a valley, and way beyond, until they stumbled upon a fine, sandy,
03:12scented pond.
03:14Not at all, said Said, feeling his throat turning dry.
03:19There are no cups here for me to try, but the special pond is sprinkled with cups.
03:25More cups than the stars in the sky.
03:28More cups than the stars in the sky.
03:31What a sight that pond must be.
03:34And if you find it, just who do you hope to see?
03:38He told me have patience, said Said, until you meet me.
03:44So they sailed on, down a river, and way beyond, until they stumbled upon a fresh-water, speckled
03:56pond.
03:57I'm afraid not, said Said, as he scooped its water up to his lips.
04:03I still feel thirsty after these sips, but one taste of what the special pond contains,
04:10and I'll never ever feel thirsty again.
04:14Never ever feel thirsty again, said Mummy.
04:18How can that possibly be?
04:20And if you find it, just who do you hope to see?
04:24He told me have patience, said Said, until you meet me.
04:30So they strolled on, by a waterfall, and way beyond, until they stumbled upon a crystal-clear,
04:40icy pond.
04:42At last, said Said, a pond of ice.
04:47Thank God, said Mummy, that should suffice.
04:52Not quite, said Said.
04:54The special pond is far more cold, and is fed by paradise streams two-fold, one stream
05:02of silver and the other of gold.
05:06Paradise streams of silver and gold, said Mummy, with a little laughter.
05:12Why that's a pond from the hereafter, and now I know just who you hope to see, but nonetheless
05:20I'd like you to tell me.
05:22All right, said Said.
05:25Since we've come so far, I hope to meet...
