Nanny Plum's Lesson
Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles, is a little kingdom of elves and fairies.
Everyone who lives here is very, very small.
BEN: I’m Ben Elf. *boo*
HOLLY: And I’m Princess Holly. Come on, let’s play!
BEN: Wait for us!
Ben and Holly’s little Kingdom.
Today’s adventure starts at the little castle.
Nanny Plum's Lesson
NANNY PLUM: Holly, Violet and Strawberry, are you ready for today’s Fairy lesson?
ALL: Yes, Nanny Plum.
NANNY PLUM: *cough*Today’s lesson is about…
*rings*
NANNY PLUM: Who can that be? Oh, Ben Elf!
BEN: Hello, Nanny Plum. It is Holly in?
NANNY PLUM: I’m afraid Princess Holly is too busy to play with elves or insects. *Gaston barks*
HOLLY: Hi, Ben. Hi, Gaston.
BEN: Hi, Holly.
VIOLET: Nanny Plum is giving us a lesson.
STRAWBERRY: Do you want to join in?
BEN: Yes, please.
NANNY PLUM: Actually, it’s a Fairy lesson.
HOLLY: Please, Nanny, let Ben stay.
NANNY PLUM: But Ben’s missed the beginning. And I don’t want to repeat everything I’ve said.
STRAWBERRY: But all you’ve said is, *cough* ‘Today’s lesson is about..’
Please let Ben stay.
CHILDREN: Please, Nanny Plum.
NANNY PLUM: OK. As long as Ben just sit quietly and watches. I suppose even an Elf
might learn something.
BEN: Thanks, Nanny.
NANNY PLUM: Oh So you’re joining us too, are you? *Gaston barks*
Now, where was I?
STRAWBERRY: *cough* Today’s lesson is about..
NANNY PLUM: Thank you, Strawberry.
Today’s lesson is about some important fairy rules.
Rule one – fairies must look nice. Hair lovely, clothes, stylish. Skin, beautifully clean. Elves and ladybirds, of course, need not worry about such things.
Rule two – fairies should never, ever be without their wands. Who knows why?
BEN: Without wands fairies can’t do magic tricks.
NANNY PLUM: Yes, Ben. We need wands to do magic. A fairy without her wand is like.. like a ladybird without her spots. *Gaston barks*
HOLLY: Nanny, Gaston is the a BOY ladybird.
NANNY PLUM: Whatever. The important thing is, fairies must look after their wands.
GIRLS: Yes, Nanny Plum.
NANNY PLUM: Rule thee – if it’s windy like today, fairies should be careful about flying. As long as I fly low, I’ll be fine. But on a day like today, no-one should fly above the castle walls. It’s very windy up here.
CHILDREN: Yes Nanny Plum.
NANNY PLUM: So what have we learnt?
HOLLY: Fairies should always look nice.
STRAWBERRY: Fairies must never, ever be without their wand.
VIOLET: Fairies mustn’t fly in strong winds.
NANNY PLUM: Very good. You see? Even I find it difficult, when the wind is so……
STRAWBERRY: Oh, Nanny Plum’s gone.
BEN: Was that meant to happen?
HOLLY: I don’t think so.
Nanny’s left her wand behind.
VIOLET: And a fairy without a wand..
STRAWBERRY: ..is like a ladybird without his spots.
HOLLY: Poor Nanny! What can we do?
BEN: I’ve got a simple plan, we find Nanny, we rescue her, then we give Nanny her wand.
HOLLY: But we don’t know how to find her.
VIOLET: And we don’t know how to rescue her.
STRAWBERRY: And we’re not allowed to touch Nanny Plum’s wand.
BEN: Then it’s a good thing I’m here. I can do all those things because I’m an Elf. *boo* Gaston, find Nanny Plum.* Gaston sniffs* Gaston will sniff her out in no time.
ALL: Hooray for Gaston.
BEN: There’s Nanny Plum. Stage one, completed.
NANNY PLUM: Hello. How did you find me so quickly?
BEN: Gaston followed your smell.
NANNY PLUM: My smell? For your information, I do not smell.
HOLLY: Nanny, we’ve got your wand.
NANNY PLUM: Holly, you’re know you not allowed to touch my wand? It could be very dangerous.
HOLLY: But we just wanted to help you.
STRAWBERRY: And you said, ‘A fairy, should never be without her wand.’
VIOLET: So we’re here to rescue you and give you back your wand.
NANNY PLUM: Well. That’s very nice of you all, but..
BEN: Stage two: the rescuing bit. Keep still, Nanny Plum. I’m going to throw this lasso around your waist.
NANNY PLUM: Uhh.That sounds dangerous. I think I’ll just wait for the wind to drop, and then I’ll fly down.
HOLLY: Are you sure you don’t want to be rescued, Nanny?
NANNY PLUM: Quite sure. This isn’t quite what I had planned. But now we’re all together again, let’s resume the lesson.
BEN: Nanny Plum, are you sure that leaf can take your weight?
NANNY PLUM: My weight? Young men, I’ll have you know I’m as light as a feather.
Now where was I?
STRAWBERRY: The last thing you said was..
’Even I find it difficult to fly when the wind be so..*woooh
That’s the sound you made when the wind blew you away. *woooh
NANNY PLUM: Oh, yes. Thank you, Strawberry.
Even I find it difficult to..wooahooahwoo
HOLLY: Nanny, are you OK?
NANNY PLUM: Yes. At least I’m dry. *wooh.
VIOLET: Nanny’s wings are soaking wet.
HOLLY: She can’t fly.
STRAWBERRY: So she’s stuck on that little island.
BEN: Nanny Plum, are you ready to be rescued?
NANNY PLUM: Err. No, I’ll wait for my wings to dry and then I’ll fly over to you.
BEN: I think the bird’s looking for worms.
NANNY PLUM: I hope Mrs. Bird doesn’t mistake me for a worm. *screams*
STRAWBERRY: Nanny Plum’s in a bird’s nest.
NANNY PLUM: I’ll be all right as long as the eggs don’t hatch.
Oh, dear!
STRAWBERRY: Those baby birds look hungry.
NANNY PLUM: Oh, bother. My wings are still wet. *screams* *fall*
CHILDREN: Nanny Plum~
NANNY PLUM: It’s not pleasant, but it’s only mud.
BEN: I think it’s quicksand.
STRAWBERRY: Nanny Plum is sinking into the ground.
NANNY PLUM: Ben, I’m ready to be rescued now.
BEN: Fantastic! Giddy up, Gaston. Giddy up, giddy up. Keep still, Nanny Plum, I’m going to throw this lasso around your waist. She’s too heavy. Gaston, pull harder!
CHILDREN: Hurray!
HOLLY: Oh. Nanny Plum, you smell horrible.
NANNY PLUM: Well, at least no-one else was here to see all that.
QUEEN THISTLE: My goodness, is that you, Nanny Plum?
NANNY PLUM: Err..Yes, Queen Thistle.
I’m just teaching the children of few fairy rules.
KING THISTLE: Excellent! And what fairy rules are you teaching?
HOLLY: Rule one: fairies must always look nice. Hair lovely, clothes stylish, skin beautifully clean.
NANNY PLUM: Err.Yes. I’ve been showing the children what not to do.
STRAWBERRY: Rule two: fairies must never, ever be without their wands.
NANNY PLUM: Yes, yes, Strawberry. King Thistle doesn’t want to know all the little details.
KING THISTLE: Quite right. You seem to have everything under control, Nanny Plum.
Please carry on.
NANNY PLUM: Thank you, Your Royalness.
QUEEN THISTLE: Did you notice that Nanny Plum seemed a bit..smelly?
KING THISTLE: I thought it was the ladybird.
NANNY PLUM: Now, where was I?
STRAWBERRY: You had just shouted, ‘Wooo! Oof!’ That’s the sound you made as
you landed in the mud. ‘Oof!’
NANNY PLUM: Thank you, Strawberry. Actually, that brings today’s lesson to a close.
BEN: That was a brilliant lesson especially the adventure bits.
NANNY PLUM: I’m pleased you enjoyed it, Ben. And thank you for rescuing me.
uuh. It’s nice to have you back. Hair be lovely, clothes have style, skin beautifully clean.
STRAWBERRY: Nanny Plum, you look lovely and pretty again.
NANNY PLUM: Thank you, Strawberry. Now, children, what do you think I’ve learnt today?
STRAWBERRY: Hm. What to shout when you fall out of trees and stuff?
NANNY PLUM: No, I’ve learnt it’s good to have friends around when you need them
whether they are fairies or elves. *Gaston barks* Oh, yes. Sorry, Gaston. Or ladybirds.
