00:00Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles is a little kingdom of elves and fairies.
00:09Everyone who lives here is very, very small.
00:14I'm Ben Elf.
00:17And I'm Princess Holly.
00:21Come on, let's play!
00:23Wait for us!
00:26Hahaha!
00:29Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom
00:35Today's adventure starts at the little castle.
00:42The Elf Games
00:50Ben, where are you?
00:54Oh, hi Ben. Can I play too?
00:57I'm not playing. I'm training.
01:00It looks like playing to me.
01:03Well, it's not. I'm getting ready for the Elf Games.
01:07That sounds fun. Can I play some Elf Games?
01:11The Elf Games are not fun. They're very serious.
01:15Now, I need to practice my lifting.
01:20This acorn's really heavy.
01:24I can do that.
01:27Abracadabra.
01:30Easy peasy.
01:32You used magic. We don't have magic at the Elf Games.
01:38Oh.
01:40So what do you have?
01:42We have jumping.
01:44Poopla!
01:46I can do that.
01:48Poopla!
01:50We don't have flying either. The games are not for fairies, just for elves.
01:57That's not fair. Fairies can do lots of things without flying or magic.
02:03Like what?
02:04I can dance like a ballerina.
02:09Okay, but we don't have dancing at the Elf Games.
02:13Dancing's not the only thing I can do.
02:17Look, I'm good at gymnastics.
02:22And I'm really good at looking pretty.
02:27We don't have dancing, gymnastics or looking pretty at the Elf Games.
02:32Why not?
02:34We're elves.
02:36We have serious things like jumping, running and...
02:40Princess Holly! Time for your lessons.
02:43Oh, hello Nanny Plum. Ben's going to be in the Elf Games. Can we go too?
02:49Won't it be boring for you, Princess Holly, watching a lot of sweaty little elves running about?
02:54We don't just run. We jump and we lift things.
02:59Look, I won this trophy for the high jump last year.
03:04Wow!
03:05If you really want a trophy, you can have one.
03:08Abracazoo, abracazap for Princess Holly a fancy cup.
03:14Yippee! I've won a trophy.
03:17Hooray!
03:19You can't just magic up a trophy. You have to work for it.
03:23I did work for it.
03:26I didn't get this good at doing spells without lots of practice.
03:30Well, I've got to go and practice my running and jumping.
03:35Good luck, Ben.
03:36Bye, Holly.
03:37See you later.
03:46Welcome to the Elf Games. Please remember the elf rules.
03:52No cheating and no...
03:55Excuse us, please. Fairy Princess coming through.
04:01Carry on, Mr. Old Elf.
04:03Ah, good day, Mistress Plum.
04:06Hi there.
04:07For the benefit of the fairies amongst us,
04:11may I remind you there is to be strictly no magic and absolutely no flying.
04:19Dear me, I was right. This is going to be boring.
04:26Now to our first event, running.
04:30Look, there's Ben.
04:33On your marks, get set, go!
04:43Ben! Come on, Ben!
04:46Oh, Ben can't hear me.
04:49We'll soon sort that out.
04:51May I? Thank you.
04:54Try this, Princess Holly.
04:57Ben! Ben!
05:00What?
05:01Go on, Ben! Run, Ben!
05:04Ah! I've got very sensitive ears.
05:09Sorry, wise old elf.
05:14Barnaby Elf is the winner.
05:20Oh, no. Ben's come last.
05:23Oh, dear. Elves can be very touchy about this sort of thing.
05:28What did you do that for?
05:30I was trying to help you win.
05:33I was winning. It was your shouting that made me lose.
05:37Sorry, Ben.
05:38Not to worry. Maybe there's some other little game you can have a go at.
05:43Will all competitors please get ready for the next event, the high jump.
05:50You're very good at jumping, Ben. You'll easily win.
05:54I hope so.
05:57I hope so, too. There's nothing worse than a grumpy elf.
06:02The first competitor is Lizzy Elf.
06:10Yay!
06:12Now, for last year's high jump champion, Ben Elf.
06:19Good luck, Ben.
06:21Yes, you can do it!
06:23Hoopla!
06:25Hooray!
06:27Phew. I didn't think he was going to do it.
06:30Another excellent jump.
06:32Now, for our final competitor, Barnaby Elf.
06:40Bad luck, Barnaby.
06:43We're down to the last two for the high jump trophy.
06:47I hope Ben doesn't knock the pole off.
06:50I hope Ben doesn't knock the pole off.
06:52As long as they don't put it up any higher, I'm sure he'll be fine.
06:57Oh, dear.
06:59Lizzy Elf.
07:03Come on, Lizzy. Jump high!
07:06Hooray!
07:09Now, Ben Elf.
07:12If he loses, he's going to be really upset.
07:17Don't worry.
07:19We'll give him a little bit of magical help.
07:22But, Nanny, magic isn't allowed.
07:25Relax. No one will notice.
07:29Are you sure no one will notice, Nanny?
07:32Trust me.
07:42Hooray! Well done, Ben!
07:46Lizzy, I told you no one would notice.
07:50Someone has been using magic.
07:53He knows.
07:55Okay, but he doesn't know it was me.
07:58Mistress Plum.
08:00Um, hello.
08:02I'll take that wand, if you please.
08:06And, Ben Elf, you are disqualified from the high jump.
08:11But that's not fair.
08:13The rule book clearly says magic is not allowed at the Elf Games.
08:20But it wasn't Ben's fault.
08:22It was my idea.
08:24Sorry, Ben.
08:26We were worried you wouldn't win.
08:28I could have won the race and the high jump.
08:32Now I'm not going to win anything.
08:34Take your partners, please, for our final event,
08:38the wheelbarrow race.
08:42Oh, dear. Ben doesn't have a partner.
08:45Can I be your partner, Ben?
08:48I promise I won't use magic or flying.
08:52No, you've already messed things up enough.
08:55Please, Ben, I know I'll be good at it.
08:59What is a wheelbarrow race?
09:02This is how you do it.
09:05I'm really good at walking on my hands.
09:08Walking on your hands is just like gymnastics.
09:12Okay, then.
09:14My goodness! A fairy!
09:19Oh, well, the rule book doesn't say a fairy can't race.
09:24On your marks, get set, go!
09:30We won!
09:33Goodness me!
09:35The winners are Ben Elf and Fairy Princess Holly.
09:41Thanks, Holly.
09:43No problem, Ben.
09:45Who'd have thought a fairy could win the wheelbarrow race?
09:49And I can do this.
09:54Gracious me! What was that?
09:57Dancing, gymnastics and looking pretty.
10:04Very good.
10:06At the next Elf Games, we shall have dancing and gymnastics.
10:11And looking pretty.
10:13Yes, and dancing and looking pretty.
10:18Baby Princess Holly can teach us how to do it.
10:22Yes, please.
