00:14Sophie and Neil decide to visit a fair in their neighborhood.
00:18Oh my! The fairgrounds are packed with people.
00:22Look at all these eateries, clothes and book shops.
00:28Oh! Look at that, game stalls, a favorite of Sophie and Neil.
00:33There are so many different games that it is difficult to choose just one.
00:38And look at the prizes on display at different game stalls.
00:42There is dart balloons, angry birds, bull's eye trigger, spin the wheel, pinball, bowling, ping pong, archery, lucky dip and yes, their favorite, hoopla.

01:03Look Neil, there are some exciting prizes on the table.
01:07Yes Sophie, see there is a round box of delicious chocolates,

01:37Look, she has also brought Diamond, her pet dog with her.
01:43Hello ma'am.
01:45Hello there, do you want to play hoopla?
01:49Yes, yes ma'am.
01:52Let me explain the rules of hoopla to you then.
01:56Sophie and Neil like hoopla.
01:59Look, they have bought one coupon each.
02:02Each coupon costs 10 rupees.
02:05Every coupon gives them two chances to play.
02:09Sophie is aiming to get the pink teddy bear.
02:13Let's see if she is able to win it.
02:19Oh, she missed it.
02:21Better luck next time Sophie.
02:23This time Sophie aims her hoop at the round box of chocolates.
02:29Sophie, you can do it.
02:33Hurray! Sophie, you have done it.
02:43It is Neil's turn now.
02:45He aims his hoop at the movie CD.
