there are people out there awake doing

all sorts of interesting things

they are on the night shift

what is that swishing sound outside

the street sweeper

at 10 o'clock in the evening when the

streets empty out the street sweeper

swishes along down the roads

leaning way out the driver skillfully

edges up against the curb

brushes spinning they twist and turn

swivel and swirl to get every bit

candy wrappers a lost mitten acorns

leaves paper cups and other trash all

get sucked up by the big sweeper

who keeps the street sweepers whistling

in the wee hours

the late night radio dj

disc jockeys are the voices that talk to

us through the radio and they choose the

songs and play them they tell us the

time and weather

who likes to request his favorite songs

late at night

rounds

this job is about protecting the

priceless artwork

the radio check all doors and windows

monitor all surveillance systems test

alarms sensors and infrared detector

no paintings are askew

no sculptures are wobbling

look it's just a mouse

who does the guard see through the

window

bridge painters

on a cool dry night bridge painters

assembled to climb the massive

suspension bridge

step by step they clip and re-clip their

safety belts

nets are below to catch those who might

fall

at the tower's top is an enormous nest a

hawk with three eggs are painted around

some paint drips down but the traffic is

light

not many cars out so late at night

whose boat gets splattered passing under

a dripping bridge at 1am

the freighter captain

the freighter boat plods along cruising

the great ocean from south america

carrying huge containers filled with

perishable freight of all kinds

bananas cocoa pods mangoes sardines

coconuts and ocelots

boat captain at the wheel easing ahead

compass keep her on course

seagulls up ahead land must be near

swiftly loads up perishable freight just

arrived from south america

30 a.m

whose night shift slows down the truck

in the middle of the night

at three o'clock in the morning road

workers meet to mend a broken highway

bumps humps lumps potholes bulges and

cracks need to be fixed a backhoe breaks

up the old road a crater spreads out the

new one a roller rolls it smooth

traffic is light but still a bottleneck

is formed three lanes into one

what a mess

ah hello

reginald livingston

here

i'm wearing a hard hat because i have a

poem for you about a construction

vehicle

it was written by charles mallam and

it's called steam shovel

bring it out

beep

the dinosaurs are not all dead

i saw one raise its iron head to watch

me walking down the road beyond our

house today

its jaws were dripping with a load of

earth and grass that it had cropped

it must have heard me where i stopped

snorted white steam my way and stretched

its long neck out to sea and chewed and

grinned quite amiably

hmm

i wonder what i should draw today

yes that's it

a cement mixer is a kind of truck that

makes concrete you know the hard stuff

that sidewalks and streets are made of

it has big wheels and a cab the driver

sits in and a big round part where you

pour in sand and stones and dry cement

and water

it spins and spins to mix everything up

so the concrete doesn't get all hard

before you pour it out in the back

then you cover it all with pink and

purple stars

i made that part up very interesting

indeed

[Applause]

[Music]

excuse me

excuse me

today's adventure episode 16 cliff

hanger and the crane

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last hanging from a cliff

can

hold on much longer

suddenly cliff notices that a big

construction project has started up in

the valley below

wow maybe they're building a skyscraper

so tall i'll be able to jump onto the

roof and ride the elevator down to

freedom

say fellas you aren't by any chance

building a tall skyscraper are you

afraid not pal but uh let me know if

there's anything else my crew could help

you with hmm

let me consult my survival manual using

his amazing decoding skills cliff begins

to read

if a construction crew offers to help

you ask them to use their machines to

get you off your cliff

say guys can you use your machines to

get me off this cliff well i'm not sure

the dump truck but a steam shovel will

be much help but

this crane here with the electric

powered magnetic lifter it's got some

promise

maybe the magnetic lifter can only lift

metal objects and i'm not sure it can

reach high enough but we can try

don't worry about the metal objects i

just happen to have this large iron

anvil here in my backpack well all right

then let's give it a go

[Music]

[Music]

can

hold on much

longer

wow that looks so much better without

that big branch sticking through it is

better than michael and then we've got

talc hey you did a great job skylight's
