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!
01:55Goodness gracious me, whatever's that?
01:58What's going on?
02:16Land a new telephone cable.
02:18Oh, is that why my telephone doesn't work?
02:22Possibly, but we won't be long.
02:24They've buried the telephone cables under the ground, so they have to dig holes in the road.
02:40I know where there are some huge holes in the ground.
02:44Come with me.
02:46Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:49Oh!
02:49Ow!
02:49PIANO PLAYS
03:19There they are.
03:37You can't see the holes from here, Pippin.
03:39But they're there, deep underground.
03:49Do you see that big hole in the side of the hill?
04:04We're going in it.
04:05Come on.
04:06We're in a huge dark cave.
04:29Nobody built it.
04:30It's been here for thousands and thousands of years.
04:38Doesn't my voice echo?
04:41Hello?
04:42Hello?
04:43That's the witch of Wookie Caves.
04:59And that's her dog.
05:11Well, not really.
05:20They're shapes made by water and limestone dripping down from the roof.
05:26They're called...
05:28stalagmites.
05:30Oh, Pippin!
05:43Look!
05:43That pool of water is part of an underground river that runs through the caves.
06:03The river's very deep and dark.
06:05Wouldn't like to fall in.
06:18A hole in the ground can be huge like a cave, or shallow and really quite small, or deep
06:37and wide and built by machines and lined with a concrete wall.
06:43Holes in the ground, holes in the ground, there are so many different holes to be found.
06:52Holes in the ground, holes in the ground, holes in the ground, there are so many different holes to be found.
07:00Holes in the ground, holes in the ground, holes in the ground, holes in the ground, there are so many different holes to be found.
07:17Holes in the ground, holes in the ground, holes in the ground, holes in the ground, there are so many different holes to be found.
07:29Holes in the ground, holes in the ground
07:33There are so many different holes to be found
07:37Oh, I'm ready for a nice cup of tea
07:59I know a story about a hole in the ground
08:09It's about a fox
08:12A thirsty fox
08:16Who found some water at the bottom of a hole
08:18He jumped in and drank his fill
08:23But then he found he couldn't get out again
08:30He was trapped
08:31So he thought of a cunning plan
08:34And began to howl
08:36A goat heard the noise
08:41And went to see what it was all about
08:44What are you doing in that hole, he asked
08:48There's some delicious water down here
08:52Answered the fox
08:53Why don't you jump in and try some
08:57So the goat jumped into the hole
09:00And drank some water
09:02While he was drinking
09:06The fox climbed onto his back
09:09Jumped out and ran away
09:12Leaving the poor goat trapped in the hole
09:15The goat began to bleat for help
09:19A monkey heard the noise
09:25And went to see what it was all about
09:27What are you doing in that hole, she asked
09:30A fox tricked me into helping him out
09:34And now I'm trapped, he answered
09:36Oh, no, you're not, said the monkey
09:40You can use my tail as a rope
09:42She lowered her long tail into the hole
09:46And the goat pulled himself out
09:49Now, said the monkey
09:52We must teach that fox a lesson
09:54She told the goat to cover the hole with leaves and branches
09:59While she went to fetch help
10:02The goat did as he was asked
10:05Until the hole was completely covered up
10:08Soon, the monkey returned with her friend, the hen
10:13They all hid in the bushes
10:17And the hen began to cluck as loudly as she could
10:23When the fox heard the clucking hen
10:28He thought, aha, dinner
10:31And he made his way towards the clucking sound
10:35He crept closer and closer
10:39And then he stepped on the leaves and branches
10:43And fell in the hole
10:45And the goat, the monkey and the hen
10:49Left him there to teach him a lesson
10:52I expect he soon found another way out
11:00Pippin, where is she?
11:09Oh, Pippin, did you fall in?
11:36Dear, oh, dear
11:39Well, of course
11:45You can't read the danger signs, can you?
11:49You find she'll be working now?
11:52Oh, good
11:53Now I can phone Edie
11:54Come on, Pippin
11:55Let's find you something nice to eat
11:58Poor old Pippin
12:17Had a nasty fall
12:18Hello?
12:26Edie
12:26No, it hasn't taken me all day
12:31I planted the tree this morning
12:33But I couldn't call you
12:35Because the phone was cut off
12:37Yes
12:39Yes, come round now
12:41Bye
12:42She's coming round to look at the tree
12:45Oh, good gracious me
12:49I forgot to put the earth back to hold it up
13:05And now you know all about holes in the ground
13:15Pippin
13:23Pippin
