:19:04
Got it?
:19:05
No.
:19:06
I am a Sand-fairy.
:19:09
- Sand-fairy?
- Yeah.

:19:11
I thought fairies had little ballet dresses
and wings and wands.

:19:15
What on earth have you been reading?
:19:18
I'll call you Sandy.
:19:19
- Why?
- Because we found you in the sand.

:19:22
You're so funny.
Have your parents tried boiling you?

:19:25
That's it. Come on.
:19:28
- Don't like that "boiling" line, do you?
- Robert, now!

:19:31
Kids don't like that.
:19:34
- Off you go...
- Come here.

:19:35
Did you know
that fairies in books can grant wishes?

:19:39
All right, all right. I will grant you your wishes.
:19:42
But... I have a list of demands.
:19:44
My needs are minimal
but what I need is a state room,

:19:47
with a sunken bath and those taps
that go backwards and forwards.

:19:51
And I need a toothbrush made of gold.
Not the bristles, but the bit you hold.

:19:55
Gold bristles would hurt my gums.
:19:56
Did that once.
:19:58
Anyway, I'd like white sand spread on the floor,
preferably sand from the Bahamas.

:20:03
- And a shower cap.
- The thing is, we don't have a palace.

:20:06
- And a yak.
- Or any of those other things.

:20:08
We're the Butterworths.
All we have is a small house in London.

:20:12
- We're just children.
- Make a wish anyway.

:20:14
- I wish...
- Stop.

:20:17
You've started a wish. You can't stop now.
:20:20
¶ Make a wish, make a wish...
:20:22
On second thoughts,
:20:23
we're going to leave this little man
and go back to the house.

:20:26
We've still got Uncle's list to get through.
:20:28
Oh, great idea. Let's go and tidy up for 14 hours.
:20:31
- That's it.
¶ Ba-dup, bo-dup, ba-da ba-da

:20:35
Sand-fairy.
:20:36
- Are you still here?
- Yes.

:20:38
- And we wish...
- Anthea!

:20:39
We wish for all the tasks on Uncle's list
to be done by magic.

:20:44
OK.
:20:46
So, you want me to give you...
extra hands?

:20:50
No!
:20:52
Here we go.
