Can you reach up?
Ahh, not quite.
Don’t worry, I’ll get a chair.
Do you want to pass that down?
Got it?
Yep.
Good. I’m down.
Let’s look at what’s in it.
It’s such a pretty patina.
Pretty old too.
Let’s lift the lid between us.
It’s tight, isn’t it?
Do you think it’s a big drum?
Seems so.
Here it is.
Oh!
Not a drum.
What unearth is it?
Let’s take it out.
Ooh, carefully.
Here, on the table.
That’s it.
It’s a musical box, with a winder.
I’ll do it.
What? Trump????
No. Don’t be silly. It’s Trumpton!

P.S. – Trumpton is a British stop-motion children’s television series from the producers of Camberwick Green.

At first glance, it appears to be a brass pot; however, you transformed it into a wonderful magic box! 😉🤗💖
