Jan and John looks at the white mice, then sing with actions 'Hickory Dickory Dock'. Shadow puppet version is viewed. A cuckoo clock is seen and made to strike several times, giving the opportunity to count. This idea is developed with the song, 'Cuckoo Clock', making tick tocks and cuckoo sounds. Story 'Harry's Hiccups' is about a boy who can't get rid of his hiccups until he forgets them when eating. John sings 'I'm So Hungry' and Jan invites participation in miming eating bananas, ice-cream and spaghetti. John then sings 'The Spaghetti Song'. Spaghetti is messy to eat and some animals are messy eaters; they eat like several animals ending with John cleaning himself like a cat. Film shows lions being fed. Wild animals don't eat at set times like those in captivity. A mime illustrates the action of a lion stalking and eating, followed by the song 'The Lion Stalks'. Time for the mice and cocky to be fed.
