00:00Look up, look down, look all around. Up in the air or on the ground. Come for a walk, come for a ride. There's so much to see, so come outside.
00:27Spades and shovels, cranes and diggers, moving, lifting, drilling down to find a pipe or wire or cable buried deep beneath the ground.
00:57That'll do, Pippin.
01:08Hello, my dears. This will be the first tree I've ever planted. It's very young and it's got a lot of growing to do.
01:22There. I told my sister Edie I'd phone her when the tree was planted. She wants to come and see it.
01:40That's funny.
01:52Oh! Goodness gracious me, whatever's that?
01:56Goodness gracious me, whatever's that?
02:15What's going on?
02:16Learn a new telephone cable.
02:18Oh, is that why my telephone doesn't work?
02:21Possibly, but we won't be long.
02:26They bury the telephone cables under the ground, so they have to dig holes in the road.
02:31I know where there are some huge holes in the ground. Come with me. Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:49Oh!
03:19There they are. We can't see the holes from here, Pippin. But they're there, deep underground.
03:41Do you see that big hole in the side of the hill? We're going in it. Come on.
04:05Come on.
04:26We're in a huge dark cave. Nobody built it.
04:30It's been here for thousands and thousands of years.
04:38Doesn't my voice echo?
04:41Hello?
04:43Hello?
04:57That's the Witch of Wookie Caves.
05:00And that's her dog.
05:17Well, not really.
05:20They're shapes made by water and limestone dripping down from the roof.
05:24They're called...
05:28Stalagmites.
05:41Oh, Pippin! Look!
05:43Look!
05:50That pool of water is part of an underground river that runs through the caves.
05:56The river's very deep and dark.
06:03Wouldn't like to fall in.
06:17A hole in the ground can be huge like a cave, or shallow and really quite small, or deep and wide and built by machines and lined with a concrete wall.
06:42Come on.
06:43folded.
06:44Even the river and littleime기가 were like...
06:45So, it
06:50This area.
06:51Another!
06:52Rally medida.
06:53It's still here for us.
06:57many different holes to be found. Out in the street, look, you might see a hole that leads
07:10to a tunnel below. A hole is dug where cables must go or somewhere a tree can grow. Holes in the
07:23ground. Holes in the ground. There are so many different holes to be found. Holes in the
07:31ground. Holes in the ground. There are so many different holes to be found.
07:37Oh, I'm ready for a nice cup of tea.
07:52I know a story about a hole in the ground. It's about a fox. A thirsty fox who found
08:17some water at the bottom of a hole. He jumped in and drank his fill. But then he found he
08:28couldn't get out again. He was trapped. So he thought of a cunning plan and began to howl.
08:36A goat heard the noise and went to see what it was all about. What are you doing in that
08:47hole? he asked. There's some delicious water down here, answered the fox. Why don't you
08:55jump in and try some? So the goat jumped into the hole and drank some water.
09:02While he was drinking, the fox climbed onto his back, jumped out and ran away, leaving
09:13the poor goat trapped in the hole. The goat began to bleat for help.
09:23A monkey heard the noise and went to see what it was all about. What are you doing in that
09:29hole? she asked. A fox tricked me into helping him out and now I'm trapped, he answered.
09:37Oh, no, you're not, said the monkey. You can use my tail as a rope. She lowered her long tail into
09:46the hole and the goat pulled himself out. Now, said the monkey, we must teach that fox a lesson.
09:54She told the goat to cover the hole with leaves and branches while she went to fetch help.
10:03The goat did as he was asked until the hole was completely covered up. Soon the monkey returned with
10:12her friend, the hen. They all hid in the bushes and the hen began to cluck as loudly as she could.
10:23When the fox heard the clucking hen, he thought, aha, dinner. And he made his way towards the clucking sound.
10:36He crept closer and closer. And then he stepped on the leaves and branches and fell in the hole.
10:45And the goat, the monkey and the hen left him there to teach him a lesson.
10:57I expect he soon found another way out. Pippin, where is she?
11:03Pippin?
11:11Pippin?
11:13Pippin?
11:15Pippin?
11:17Pippin?
11:34Oh, Pippin, did you fall in?
11:38Dear, oh, dear!
11:39Well, of course. You can't read the danger signs, can you?
11:49You find she'll be working now?
11:52Oh, good. Now I can phone Edie.
11:55Come on, Pippin. Let's find you something nice to eat.
12:09Poor old Pippin. Had a nasty fall.
12:24Hello? Edie.
12:28No, it hasn't taken me all day. I planted the tree this morning.
12:34But I couldn't call you because the phone was cut off.
12:37Yes. Yes, come round now. Bye.
12:44She's coming round to look at the tree.
12:47Oh, good gracious me.
13:03I forgot to put the earth back to hold it up.
13:07And now you know all about holes in the ground.
