00:26So Hansel and Gretel returned home
00:29and lived happily ever after.
00:32Wow, that was a wild ride.
00:33Sure.
00:34Are fairy tales true or not true?
00:37Well, what do you mean by true?
00:39I mean, did that happen for real life?
00:42Well, no.
00:43Phew.
00:44But they've got true things in them.
00:45Like what?
00:46Like, you know, it's not good to be greedy and stuff.
00:49And if you're brave and honest, things will work out.
00:52Oh, yeah.
00:53Hey, you want to hear a fairy tale that is true?
00:56Yes, please.
00:56It's about a mean brother who ends up good
00:59and it's got a curse in it and even a princess.
01:02Wow.
01:03And it happened for real life.
01:05Yep.
01:06You know how I know?
01:07How?
01:08Because it happened to me.
01:10Ooh.
01:11This episode of Boo is called Fairy Tales.
01:14This story's set a long, long time ago
01:17in a place called the 80s.
01:20That's me when I was 10 years old
01:22on holiday with your Uncle Rad and Uncle Stripe.
01:25Hang on, where's your helmet?
01:27This was the 80s, man.
01:29There were no helmets.
01:30It was a wild place.
01:32Trampolines had no nets.
01:34Your mum wrote your name on everything.
01:36BMX seats were high.
01:38Music was on cassettes.
01:40And skids were big.
01:42Oh, good skid, Rad.
01:45You can't skid strike.
01:47Yes, I can.
01:48No, you can't.
01:49And mum wants you.
01:51Huh?
01:51Made you look, you dirty chook.
01:53Ha-ha!
01:54Supper!
01:56You're teasing Stripe.
01:58Afraid so.
01:59But that's mean.
02:01I told you.
02:02This fairy tale's about a mean brother.
02:04Me.
02:06But don't worry.
02:07I was about to learn my lesson.
02:09Bandit, stop teasing Stripe.
02:11Make me.
02:12Hey, Stripe, your wheels are turning.
02:14Huh?
02:15Ah!
02:16Ha-ha!
02:16Made you look, you dirty chook.
02:18Jinx.
02:20Huh?
02:21What's jinx?
02:22OK.
02:23In the 80s, if two people said the exact same word
02:26at the exact same time, like...
02:29Fluke!
02:30One of you would yell out, jinx.
02:32Jinx!
02:32Which meant you had ten seconds to touch them.
02:35One.
02:36Two.
02:38Three.
02:39Four.
02:40Five.
02:41Huh?
02:42Six.
02:43Seven.
02:44Eight.
02:45If you didn't touch them in that ten seconds...
02:47Damn!
02:48They'd say...
02:49Skid!
02:50And then you could never speak again.
02:53What?
02:54You could never speak forever and ever.
02:56Nope.
02:57You were cursed.
02:58Wow.
02:59The only thing that could break the curse
03:01was if someone said your name.
03:04Do you want me to say your name?
03:07OK.
03:09Bandit-dums!
03:10Huh!
03:11Can't you just say your own name?
03:13Nope.
03:14You're not allowed to speak.
03:15What happens if you do speak?
03:17Oh, well, look, I shouldn't tell you, but...
03:21What?
03:23That's terrible!
03:24I told you, the 80s was a wild place.
03:27Anyway, being cursed was not a lot of fun when you're on holiday.
03:31Kids, do you want your fish battered or crumbed?
03:33Battered.
03:34Battered.
03:34What about you?
03:35Come on, speak up.
03:36He wants crumbed.
03:37OK.
03:38He loves crumbed.
03:40Don't you ban dishwasher?
03:42Ha!
03:44Ugh.
03:45I hated crumbed.
03:47Who ate all the mini cereals?
03:49We did.
03:50Right, you.
03:51Get over here.
03:53Gee, Nana was a bit mean.
03:55Yeah, it was the 80s.
03:56Mums were allowed to be mean.
03:58And Dads weren't much help either.
04:00Let's see who can shout the loudest.
04:02OK.
04:04Kids, keep it down.
04:07What do you want, Struth?
04:08Da, Brad, da, Gerald, da, whatever your name is.
04:13What are you on about?
04:14What's he on about?
04:15Rad jinxed him.
04:16He can't talk until someone says his name.
04:19Oh, right.
04:20So you want me to say your name so you can talk again?
04:23Well, you're dreaming, mate.
04:25You know what I call this?
04:26I call it a good start.
04:27How do I jinx it so none of you can talk?
04:30Dad!
04:31Is it like this?
04:32Woo!
04:33I was never going to talk again.
04:36No one was going to say my name.
04:38I'm not going to say your name.
04:41I think this will do you some good.
04:43All holiday you've been mean to your little brother.
04:47You can't tic-tac, Struth.
04:50It's my turn now.
04:51Now it isn't.
04:53Ha-ha, nice stack.
04:55This is a chance for you to have a good think about it.
04:59Nana was right.
05:00Not about a perm, but about me.
05:02I hadn't been a very good brother to Struth.
05:05I deserve to be cursed.
05:08So when did the curse get broken?
05:11The very next morning, actually.
05:13I was on my way to the shower block to clean my teeth.
05:16By yourself?
05:17It was the 80s.
05:20Mom!
05:21Ow!
05:22Struth had taken a shortcut to the toilets and got stuck in the prickles.
05:26Help!
05:27So you could tell him you won't help him?
05:30Unless he says your name.
05:32Oh, yeah.
05:33You're right.
05:34I could have done that.
05:37So did you?
05:39No.
05:39I just helped him.
05:45Thanks.
05:46Ben.
05:47Dina.
05:48Ha-ha.
05:49What?
05:50You helped him and even then he didn't say your name?
05:53That's brothers, kid.
05:55To tell you the truth, I was proud of him.
05:59But then who broke the curse?
06:02Well, remember I said this fairy tale has a princess?
06:05Found it here.
06:08Is this your hat?
06:11Is that Mum?
06:13That's Mum.
06:14What?
06:15Don't listen to him.
06:16It wasn't me.
06:17Don't listen to her.
06:19It was.
06:19Well, look.
06:20It might have been.
06:22We did used to go on holidays to that caravan park.
06:25Case closed.
06:26But I've got no memory of that happening.
06:29Oh, it's like a dagger in my heart.
06:31How did she know your name?
06:33It was written on my hat.
06:35Wow.
06:36Either way, it's a good story.
06:39But is it true or not true?
06:42I need to know.
06:43Well, I guess you have to decide.
06:45Do you believe in fairy tales?
06:52Here you go.
06:54Thanks.
06:55See you later.
06:59Yeah.
07:01See you later.
07:02See you later.
07:04See you later.
07:10See you later.
07:12See you later.
07:18See you later.
07:19See you later.
