happen I was waving it
and she bashed it on a rock that wasn't
very clever sorry nanny not to worry
we'll just get it mended with magic
nanny oh no I can't mend it why not
ones make magic but magic can't make
ones
it's like chickens and eggs chickens
make eggs but eggs don't make chickens
but eggs do make chickens whatever the
important thing is I can't mend ones by
magic so who can mend it the elves that
made it make one
of course they do everyone knows that
elves are very good at making wands else
don't use the ones Holly
they just make them good morning can I
help you
hi my wall she bashed it on a rock ah

follow thee we'll make these hard hats
[Music]
we'll be taking the train everyone we're
going deep down down level 500 the one
factory

because wounds are magic so we built the
one factory as deep under ground as
possible
[Music]
now what's wrong with the old one yes
yes but we need to find out exactly
what's wrong with your one the x-ray
shows it needs a new stick and a cog
service this way this is the stick house
where we grow wooden sticks for ones but
the stick for a wand must be specially
grown and made from the right type of
tree correct nanny plum the word for my
wand comes from a plum tree because I am
nanny plum the wood for your wand Holly
should come from a it must come from a
strawberry tree let's see how that feels
it's a big it just needs a little trim
this stage of wand repair is a mixture
of woodwork and gardening now and not
yet princess Holly
we need to mend the head follow me
this is the clock and watch mmm
interesting that doesn't sound right
[Music]
not yet nanny plum Hollies wand needs
testing to the testing room the one
testing room it is the safest place to
do magic in the kingdom we don't want
the magic leaking out and causing
trouble where's the fun in that
magic is not meant to be fun and
sensible magic is what we do here we're
going to test the wand by turning the
lemonade into something else or a
monster with a hundred eyes and three
legs wait and see
[Music]
the lemonade has turned into water why
