    in a bright and sunny town of Tumet, where children love to play
  • 00:00:05
    Stood a wondrous sculpture, blowing in the day
  • 00:00:09
    Metamorphosis cube, its name so grand
  • 00:00:13
    With twisting shapes and colours, like a magic band
  • 00:00:18
    Made by Tetsuo Yamasaki, an artist full of cheer
  • 00:00:22
    He crafted this creation for everyone to appear
  • 00:00:27
    Cubes of red and brown interlocked so tight
  • 00:00:31
    They change and dance around in the morning light
  • 00:00:36
    One fine day, young Bella, with her puppy Max
  • 00:00:40
    Saw the gleaming sculpture and stopped right in their tracks
  • 00:00:45
    Look at that, cried Bella, her eyes so wide with glee
  • 00:00:50
    This puzzle made of cubes, oh what can it be? Max barked in white his tail, as they ran up close
  • 00:00:59
    They marveled at the sight, from every little post
  • 00:01:03
    The cubes were all connected, balance just so neat
  • 00:01:08
    Like pieces of a puzzle, fitting tight and sweet
  • 00:01:12
    Just then, a friendly lady, Miss Yuki was her name
  • 00:01:17
    Can to join the children, and share the artist's fame
  • 00:01:21
    This sculpture shows us magic, in how it's made to stand
  • 00:01:27
    Each cube supports the next, like friends who hold your hand
  • 00:01:32
    Miss Yuki told them stories, of buildings tall and strong
  • 00:01:37
    Engineers and artists, working all day long
  • 00:01:41
    They use the same idea of welding for support, to build bridges and towers, and even your school's court
  • 00:01:50
    Bella and Max listened, their minds began to race
  • 00:01:55
    We'll build our own creation right here in this place
  • 00:01:59
    They gathered up some blocks, and tried to interlock
  • 00:02:04
    Making sure each piece fit tightly like a rock
  • 00:02:08
    Now it's your turn children, to join in on the fun
  • 00:02:12
    Find your blocks or Legos, and start with just one
  • 00:02:18
    Build your own creation, sturdy and so true
  • 00:02:22
    And see how shapes transform, just like the Metamorphosis cube
  • 00:02:27
    Here's a little question,
  • 00:02:29
    for you to ponder now
  • 00:02:31
    What other things can you build, and learn the why and how? Creating is an adventure, when magic meets the mind
  • 00:02:41
    So keep on building wonders, and see what you can find
  • 00:02:46
    With Ron and Joy we end our story full of cheer
  • 00:02:50
    Keep dreaming and creating, young engineers so dear
  • 00:02:55
    The world is full of wonders, waiting just for you
  • 00:02:59
    So build, explore, and imagine, there's nothing you can't do
