Dot, a young child in a dinosaur shirt, plays with two adults who encourage her imaginative storytelling. She tells a rambling story about a snowman who melts and a boy who flies to meet Santa, counts aloud with a small mistake, and pretends to cook in the kitchen.

Hmm. So, Dot, what are you doing? You're going to make a cup of tea for Grandad? Where's my cup of tea, please? And Dot, what have you got on your t-shirt? This. What? Dinosaurs. Are they very scary? Okay, what can you tell me about the snowman? What can you tell about the little boy and the snowman? What happens to him?
He melted.
The snowman melted, but the little boy went up in the air, didn't he?
Yeah.
Where did they go?
Um, um, up in the sky.
Up in the sky. And who did they meet?
Santa Claus.
Santa Claus, yes. And And the other snowmen, and they— what did they do? They did a little dance.
Yeah.
Is that your favourite, the snowman?
Yeah, and the boy's dad.
The boy's?
The boy's dad.
The boy's dad?
Yeah. Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh dear.
Oh dear. Can you do counting? How much counting can you do? 1, 1, 2— Dot, do it. 1— Dot, say it.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6. Very good.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Once I caught a fish alive. No, no.
All right, now you're playing with your kitchen. Good.
You make Grandad a cup of toast— a piece of toast and a cup of tea.
