is a little Kingdom of Elves and Fairies

Everyone who lives here is very very small

I'm Ben Elf

And I'm Princess Holly

Come on let's play!

Wait for us

Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom

Today's adventure starts at the great elf tree

The Shooting Star

With this telescope I can see deep into space

Wise Old Elf, can I look?

Yes, right now the telescope is pointed at the moon

Ooh, it looks really close

Can I have a go?

Of course!

If I turn the telescope this way, you can see distant stars

Amazing!

Oh, one of the stars is moving!

Maybe it's a shooting star?

Oo, I can see it too!

It's going to crash into the ground!

Wow that sounded close!

Let's take a look

This is where the shooting star landed

It's made a huge hole

Incredible

Look at all the smoke

It must be very hot

Let's climb down and get a closer look

No! We'll have to come back tomorrow when it's cooled down

Morning time!

Holly! Breakfast!

No time Daddy, a shooting star crashed into the meadow last night!

Morning time!

Ben! Don't you want your breakfast?

Later mum, I'm off to see the shooting star

Hi Ben!

Hi Holly!

Wow! What made that hole?

A shooting star, it fell out of the sky!

Excellent

So what does this shooting star thingy look like?

We're just about to find out your majesty

Lower the claw!

Ooh

It's got windows

Is it a spaceship?

It's a flying saucer

The top is opening!

Don't panic yet but this might be an alien invasion

Pleep-ploop

Ahhh! Alien invasion, alien invasion!

Everyone please panic!

Pleep-ploop-ploop-pleep

It's the friendly aliens we met on the moon

Hello aliens!

bleep-bleep

Oh look they've got a baby alien

I am not baby.

Whoops - sorry!

But you're so sweet and ickly

I am oldest one here.

We get smaller as we get older.

Oh we get bigger as we get older

That's crazy

My name is Zyros - take me to your leader

King Thistle is our leader

Ah, Thistle King - so you are leader

Well, the Wise Old Elf is also a leader in a way

Oh no your majesty you are our king and leader

Yes

We come in peace

Phew

We are here on holidays

Have you come far?

We come from planet bong

Oooo

But our spaceship is crashed

Oh dear

You, Thistle King must fix it

Me? Yes

As leader you are clever and wise

Yes, of course I'm clever and wise

Doesn't sound good

It is broken

Maybe I should take a look your majesty?

Good idea!

Elves are good at fixing flying saucers and I'm an Elf

Let's see does the engine use clockwork or batteries

Oh..

Oh, it's all colourful and pretty

It's a massive pipes, cubes and incredibly complicated

I don't need to know the little details, just fix it

What a great and clever leader

Yes, we're very lucky. This is going to take some time

Mr. Zyros whilst you're waiting, would you like a tour of the Little Kingdom?

We would very much like that

Oh goody, this way!

First stop, Gaston's cave.

Gaston, are you in?

This is our friend, Gaston the Ladybird

Ah, a ladybird. So that is the sound a ladybird makes

What did he say?

He asked is Gaston is for eating?

No, we don't eat our friends! Do you?

Ah no, hardly ever.

Next on the tour, the little castle, where I live.

Mummy.

Hello darling. Ahhh

It's ok mummy, they're just aliens from planet bong

Oh that's alright then.

No you can't eat her

Thistle King is this where you make your important decisions?

Er, yes, yes I'm always making important decisions

Your majesty do you want soup or sausages for lunch?

Hmm, I think, sausages.

You are very wise Thistle King

Oh well, you know, I do my best

And Elf Ben, where do you live?

I live in a tree.

Tree? What is tree?

Here it is, the great Elf Tree.

Ah, I see, so a tree is a kind of apartment block.

I am learning much about your planet

Hello Ben! Agh aliens!

Yes dad, do you remember the aliens we met on the moon? They're here on holiday

Oh yes, those aliens. Happy holiday!

No! He is not to be eaten either!

Ah, this is such a wonderful planet. Have you been to other planets on holiday?

Oh yes, but this is best. You see, we are quite small and on most planets everyone is

big.

I see

Yes

We go to other planets for lovely relaxing holiday and get stepped on by big people.

It is not nice

Er, there are some big people here too

Big people? Here?

Hello!

Agh. Big people!

Don't worry, it's only our friend Lucy. She's a big girl

Lucy, these are aliens, they're here on holiday

Hello aliens.

You are big aren't you?

Are there more like you?

There's my mum and dad, we're having a picnic over there

So there are three big people on this planet

Oh no, there's loads. Millions and millions. Most of them bigger than me

Hm, perhaps it is time for end of holiday

Ok! Let's go see if your flying saucer is mended

Ah, just in time. I've mended the flying saucer.

Well done Wise Old Elf.

All those tubes and things made it a bit like plumbing and elves are good at plumbing

Thank you I will now start the engine

Oh, that's not right. It sounds like the fairy car on a cold day

Yes it does

A big of magic always helps start the fairy car

No! You must never mix magic and plumbing

Sounds good!

Thanks to me being an excellent plumber

Thanks to my magic fairy dust you mean

Now now, let's say elf skill mended the engine and fairy magic got it started.

Lucy! That's my dad, I better go

Mum, Dad you'll never guess what I just saw!

Don't tell me? Elves and Fairies again

Yes and aliens too!

Haha, aliens.

Oh, aliens, of course Lucy

We must leave now, Ben, Holly would you like a little ride before we go

Yes please!

Weeeeee

Dear Lucy, everyone knows, aliens don't exist.

Hello Lucy!

Hi Ben and Holly

The aliens have to fly back to their planet, they just wanted to say hello to your parents

Hello big people, we have just been here on our holidays

Erm, Hello

We go now, bye bye

Bye bye

Bye

I think we'll have picnics somewhere else in future

Whee! Bye Ben and Holly. Next time you go on holiday, you must come to planet bong!

Ok, we will!

Bye.
