NARRATOR: This is Edna Bumcrank, she is rather old. But, of course, she hasn鈥檛 always been like this. I wouldn鈥檛 do that of I were you burglar, because鈥
When she was younger Edna used to be a ninja. Let鈥檚 rewind a bite more鈥

Yes! That is her. She is growing inside her mum and she鈥檚 very, very tiny. Smaller than a dot from a pencil. And you were that small once too. Let鈥檚 fast forward again鈥
She鈥檚 now about the same size as an apple.
Ah! Now she鈥檚 got to a very big step in her life cycle; being born. Let鈥檚 keep going鈥
And now鈥es. Now she鈥檚 a teenager and her body is changing. That鈥檚 called puberty. And if we keep going forward we鈥檒l see鈥
Yes, there we are. Now she鈥檚 a grown up and she鈥檚 pregnant. That means that a whole new life cycle is starting鈥
