while you're waiting

you'll have to come over to my tree then

come on

this is my lightning tree

do you know what a lightning tree is

[Music]

it's one that's been struck by lightning

and put to sleep

so it can stand there for hundreds of

years without getting old

then

one day

when it feels like it

it can grow back all its sleeves

and be an ordinary tree again

this one's still asleep

lazy thing

but while it's asleep

it's magic

all you've got to do

is put your hand on

there

that's it

like that

and close your eyes

now

tightly

and wish

go on
