The magician realises that something is smelling, and after a while finds out that he has forgotten a pair of socks in his magic box. The one red, the other white and phew, they pong pretty badly! The only way to remedy this, is to wash the socks - so the magician brings out his portable washing machine.
- The socks go into the washing machine, the child turns on the crank, "because there is no power". Turning the crank produces a rattling sound, then the child takes the socks out of the machine
- It turns out that the socks are completely RIPPED AND TORN, with GREAT BIG HOLES. Whoops.... probably turned the crank too long!
- The decimated socks go back into the machine, again the crank is turned, this time in the other direction.
- The socks are taken out of the washing machine - and have turned into a super-long striped socks a la Pippi Longstocking.
- The long striped stocking goes back into the machine - another washing program is set, the crank turned back and forth - and come out two baby socks - washed too hot - they've SHRUNK!
- The baby socks are put back in the washing machine, all children say a spell, the crank is turned - and the socks come out of the machine - undamaged, the right size, freshly washed and wonderfully scented. The children are welcome to smell them!
