:32:01
Ahh.
:32:02
Hm-hm.
:32:04
Smells like rain. Great change is afoot.
:32:08
You can sign this one.
:32:12
It! It!
:32:13
So, have you come to thank me
for yesterday's wish?

:32:16
- I brought you these.
- Ah.

:32:18
Forget it. How kind.
:32:21
That hole doesn't look very comfortable.
:32:23
- Yes, it is.
- Would you like to sit next to me?

:32:25
Like Flopsy. He's my rabbit.
:32:28
- You have a rabbit called Flopsy?
- Mm.

:32:30
Has he got no spine?
:32:32
Your ability with naming things
is not very good, child.

:32:35
Oh, here they all come. Hmm.
:32:37
Our wish didn't turn out as we expected.
:32:39
No.
:32:40
Yes. Our doubles turned the hall
into a swimming pool.

:32:43
Was anything damaged?
:32:46
- Damaged? It was an absolute mess!
- Huh? Plenty.

:32:48
- The vases smashed to smithereens?
- Yes.

:32:51
The floor flooded, and dictionaries drenched?
:32:54
They were.
:32:56
And the house burnt to the ground?
:32:58
- No.
- House didn't burn to the ground?

:33:01
You got off lightly, all things considered.
:33:03
What?
:33:06
Not so fast, Sand-fairy!
:33:07
You made those doubles
ruin the house on purpose.

:33:10
Look, it's not me. It's the rules.
:33:12
You make a wish, it goes horribly wrong.
:33:14
And then you learn something valuable. Hmm?
:33:18
That's terrible. I don't need to learn anything.
:33:21
Ooh!
:33:22
Of course,
everything is back to normal by sunset.

:33:25
Why "of course"?
:33:26
Because wishes only last
during the daylight.

:33:29
So that's why our doubles disappeared.
:33:31
- Why didn't you tell us that?
- You didn't ask.

:33:34
- So, can you fix everything we broke?
- Oh, yes.

:33:37
- But they'll be broken again by sunset.
- Oh, great.

:33:40
- It's got a point.
- Mmm.

:33:41
So what you learn from this,
you see, is... Hello.

:33:44
What do you think?
:33:46
Ah, well... very good. I like er...
:33:49
the use of light and shadow, it's very effective.
:33:51
The subject is hideous monster, of course.
:33:55
As the sun here melts,
the monster, he is shocked.

:33:58
His hair's on end and...
