Video transcript

Letters and words. What do you see?

What you see may not be what other people see.

Are words friendly? Grrrrr

Do letters tell the truth? Or do they play games with you? Even if you don’t know the rules of the game. Thats not fair.

Exhibit A – a typewriter. This obviously writes types of words.

Hmm What about what our ancestors used to do?

Or

A blackboard. I remember at school not understanding the information on that blackboard, and looking round at the rest of the class and they all had their heads down scribbling away like mad. And I thought ‘Am I an island?’

Little people are like little letters. They work better together but sometimes find themselves on their own

I really like the way this story is told - funny, sweet and very touching Posted on 09/11/2009 at 03:39:53
