[00:11.98]So there was this boy and this girl
[00:14.23]And they'd never met.
[00:14.83]They'd never spoken to each other
[00:17.58]Or even seen each other.
[00:19.20]But one day the girl wrote a letter to the boy.
[00:23.19]The boy was lying in bed one morning when the letter arrived.
[00:27.06]He heard the postmanand he hoped it might be
[00:29.37]One of the songs he'd sent off somewhere
[00:31.68]Coming back with some good news.
[00:33.86]All that turned up though was a letter from his friend from school
[00:37.05]Who'd gone off to art-college in Dundee.
[00:39.23]But the letter had another letter inside it
[00:43.16]In another envelope,
[00:43.79]And that was the letter from the girl.
[00:46.79]
[00:55.83]And they began to write to each other a lot
[00:57.38]The boy and the girl
[00:58.38]And for a long time one of them would get a letter everyday.
[01:00.81]They wrote about everything
[01:01.97]
[01:02.65]About themselves and about the world.
[01:05.59]And they wrote their own world.
[01:07.27]And they lit the whole thing up.
[01:08.45]And after a while they began to meet up in the world
[01:31.84]
[01:32.39]Where other people live quite nervously
[01:34.02]And only about once a year.
[01:36.70]And they would walk around just watching things
[01:38.95]Laughing at stuff that happened.
[01:41.44]They didn't talk too much
[01:42.83]They'd already said most of what they had to say in letters
[01:45.87]And they were shy.
[01:48.06]And at the end of those rare days
[01:49.38]They would both go back to their own cities
[01:51.49]And write about how good their day had been
[01:53.86]And say some of the things they hadn't said at the time.
[01:56.54]And light the whole thing up.
[01:57.98]
[02:12.71]And then life began to happen to them
[02:14.83]Their separate lives in their separate cities.
[02:17.73]But although they wrote a little less often
[02:20.23]They wrote still just as longabout their lives
[02:22.91]And how the world was coming into their world.
[02:24.53]And they kept going till they realized they'd been writing for seven years.
[02:28.59]And because they had once written themselves a beach
[02:32.96]On which to dream themselves together
[02:34.89]They decided that to celebrate
[02:37.39]They'd have another one of their rare days
[02:39.70]And for it they would go to a beach.
[02:41.88]And in his last letter before they went the boy wrote
[02:44.07]It'll be goodand if you want
[02:47.25]You can take my bony hand along the shore.
[02:48.96]
[03:06.80]And so they went and they could talk a little bit more by then.
[03:09.86]They could talk okay.
[03:10.98]And they spent some money in the arcade at one beach
[03:14.79]And at another beach they built a town out of sand and shells.
[03:18.22]And the girl drew out a puzzle on the wet sand
[03:21.65]A puzzle she'd been trying to solve in a dream the night before.
[03:24.58]they walked out And and stood on the edge of the sea there for a while
[03:28.00]And when they turned around to walk back to the road the boy said
[03:30.81]Do you want to take my hand?
[03:33.18]And the girl said
[03:34.37]Take it where?
[03:35.06]And although he afterwards thought he should have said
[03:37.86]Everywhere
[03:38.55]He only just mumbled.
[03:40.51]
[04:05.23]My hand's very cold
[04:05.91]The girl said as he took it.
[04:08.28]And as they walked up the beach the boy said
[04:10.28]We only have to do this until we reach the dry sandthen we can stop.
[04:13.21]And for a bit they walked in silence.
[04:16.39]
[04:24.76]And although in more than a thousand letters they had talked of the stars
[04:27.56]And of riversand of love - and woven a hundred dreams
[04:31.31]
[04:32.42]All they could think of to talk about was a tree in a garden on the other side of the road
[04:38.13]How tall it was and how out of place it looked.
[04:40.62]
[04:51.29]And when they came to the dry sand
[04:53.22]They didn't let go of each other's hand
[04:54.78]
[04:55.34]They just walked on up the beach still talking about the tree.
[04:58.40]And they stepped over the fence and onto the pavementfalling quiet again.
[05:02.84]
[05:08.53]And as they walked along the pavement they came to a pole
[05:11.39]and walked one on either side.
[05:12.52]And they let go of their hands...
