Melody is excited to see what Mum is unpacking at the kitchen table. It's a toy theatre with a paper princess, which leads mum to tell the story of the Princess and the Pea. Mum gives Melody some princess music to listen to, which is Tahiti Trot by Shostakovich. Melody settles down to listen to the music and her imagination takes her into the animated story of the princess and the pea.
