00:00Look up, look down, look all around
00:07Up in the air or on the ground
00:12Come for a walk, come for a ride
00:17There's so much to see, so come outside
00:23We're useful in the bathroom
00:29We're often on the floor
00:32We come in different shapes and sizes
00:35So, some of us like painting
00:39While others like to clean, all sorts of things
00:44What are we? Do you know?
00:48We're brushes
00:59Hello, me dears
01:01My sister Edie's coming round today
01:03So I'm tidying up before she gets here
01:06She's very fussy
01:08Listen to that
01:14Pippin's got her friends round
01:20They're playing
01:21Pippin's got her friends
01:40Pippin, come here.
01:57Look at you.
02:00What a mess.
02:02You need a good brushing before Edie sees you.
02:06Look, I haven't got time to brush all of you.
02:09Go on, you two. Off you go.
02:12That's enough playing for today.
02:19Pippin enjoys this.
02:22Her brush has lots of bristles.
02:26They brush away the dirt and make her hair look neat and tidy,
02:31just like your hairbrush does.
02:36There. That's better.
02:38Now, go and sit in your basket while I finish tidying up.
02:42When there's cleaning to be done, there's a way to make it fun.
02:53Sing a little song, it will help you along.
03:01Sweep, sweep, sweep the park.
03:04Wash the dishes to keep them clean.
03:07Scrub the floor, scrub it well.
03:10This will be the cleanest house we've ever seen.
03:16Sweep, sweep, sweep the floor.
03:20Wash the teapot to keep it clean.
03:23Scrub the loo, scrub it well.
03:26This will be the cleanest house we've ever seen.
03:30Won't it, Pippin?
03:32Sweep, sweep, sweep the floor.
03:36Wash the dishes to keep them clean.
03:39Scrub the floor, scrub it well.
03:41And this will be the cleanest house we've ever seen.
03:50Brushes are very good at sweeping up all those little bits of dirt
03:54because the bristles are thin.
03:59And quite sharp.
04:00These bristles are made from coconuts.
04:05I'll show you.
04:12This is a coconut.
04:15And these are the coconut fibres
04:18which make the bristles on the brush.
04:23I remember the day I bought this brush.
04:29It all started one morning
04:31when Pippin was getting under my feet.
04:38Oh!
04:40Ow!
04:41Oh!
04:43Oh!
04:44Oh, Pippin!
04:46Pippin!
04:53Oh, dear.
04:55Look at this old brush.
04:58I really must buy a new one.
05:01Pippin, it's time to fly.
05:06And so off we went to find a new brush.
05:19On the way, we flew over the seaside
05:22and saw lots of boats.
05:39Soon we arrived at a factory
05:41where they make all sorts of brushes and brooms.
05:44Hello!
05:45Hello!
05:52I found some coconut fibres.
05:55They'd come all the way from India.
06:03They use a plastic base
06:05to hold all the fibres.
06:09That's where the fibres go.
06:12And this is the handle.
06:14This machine punches holes in the plastic.
06:25Then it sticks clumps of fibres in the holes
06:29to make the bristles.
06:30They're trimmed so they're all the same length.
06:52It was exactly the kind of brush I needed.
06:55Then I saw a machine making brushes for dogs.
07:19These fibres are made from PVC,
07:24a sort of plastic.
07:26They didn't grow like the coconut fibres.
07:29They were made by machine.
07:35This base is made of wood.
07:40Holes are punched in the wood.
07:43And the fibres are glued in the holes
07:46to make the bristles.
07:47The dog brushes have a strap
07:52to make them easier to hold.
07:55I decided to buy one for Pippin.
07:59And that's when I noticed
08:01she wasn't there.
08:03Where was she?
08:05Then I spotted her.
08:18Getting up to mischief by the look of it.
09:03Goodbye.
09:04Goodbye.
09:04We only went out to buy one brush
09:12but we came back
09:13with hundreds.
09:19Still,
09:20they've all been very useful.
09:21Oh, Pippin!
09:29Oh, Pippin!
09:33You remind me of a story
09:34about a young boy
09:36and some brooms.
09:38They made a terrible mess.
09:41Let me see if I can remember it.
09:42Once upon a time in an old castle,
09:47there lived a very old man
09:49who had magical powers.
09:51He had a young boy helping him.
10:02He had a young boy helping him.
10:03Well, he was supposed to help.
10:06But in fact, he was very lazy.
10:10One day, the old man told the boy to fill a big pot with water
10:18while he went out.
10:19The boy fetched two buckets of water and tipped them into the pot.
10:29Phew!
10:30This is hard work, he thought.
10:36There must be an easier way.
10:39Then, he noticed the broom.
10:43He waved his arms at the broom
10:46and said the magic words
10:48he'd often heard the old man say.
10:51And suddenly,
10:53the broom began to move.
10:58It picked up the buckets
11:00and off it went.
11:03The lazy boy settled down
11:06and went back to sleep
11:08while the broom did his work for him.
11:24Suddenly, the boy woke up.
11:27Water was lapping round his ankles.
11:31The pot was overflowing.
11:34Stop! shouted the boy.
11:36But nothing happened.
11:38He waved his arms
11:40and said some magic words.
11:43But he said the wrong words.
11:46And to his horror,
11:47the broom became two brooms.
11:51Then four.
11:53Then eight.
11:55Soon, it seemed as if a hundred brooms
11:58were marching back and forth
12:00with their buckets.
12:01The water rose higher and higher.
12:02The boy was swimming for dear life
12:10when the old man returned.
12:14He quickly said the magic words.
12:17The water drained away
12:19and the brooms disappeared.
12:21And there stood the boy,
12:26dripping wet
12:27and in deep trouble.
12:30I wonder what happened to him
12:42after that.
12:45Oh, that'll be easy.
12:47Pippin!
12:48Pippin!
12:49Pippin!
12:50Pippin!
12:51Pippin!
12:52Pippin!
12:53You two again!
12:57Pippin!
12:58Just look at you!
12:59Pippin!
13:00Just look at you!
13:04No!
13:05Oh, you two again!
13:06Oh, you two again!
13:07No!
13:08That'll be easy.
13:09It's a dog.
13:10Oh, you two again!
13:12Pippin!
13:14Pippin!
13:15You two again.
13:21Pippin!
13:24Just look at you!
13:25Just look at you!
13:26The word dawn goes the weird
