- Synopsis
- "Alexander": Alexander played with his bricks on the floor-- Square bricks, pointed bricks, red, green and white. He tried to build a castle with a tower and battlements, He tried to build a castle but it wouldn't come right. He tried to build a castle with a dungeon and drawbridge (Alexander with his bricks on the floor), But it turned into a supermarket with a car-park, So he knocked it over and started once more. He tried to build a church with a pointed doorway, He tried to build a church with a gold weather-vane, But it turned to a multi-storey grand hotel, So he knocked it over and started again. Alexander tried to build a lighthouse To rescue ships from storm-racked tide, But it turned to a factory for making boxes. Alexander put away his bricks and cried.
