-Hi there, everybody!
Today, I'm going to an amusement park.
Do you know what that is?
It's a park full of attractions, like rides and games.
It is so much fun.
-Hello, Catherine. What are you doing?
-Hi Newton, I'm getting ready to go to an amusement park.
-Oh, yes, of course, an amusement park.
Uh, what is an amusement park?
-Oh, I don't believe it, Newton! You don't know?
It's a place full of attractions and rides,
it's full of entertainment.
Hey, do you want to come with me?
-Well, I don't think I need to be entertained.
What sort of entertainment, anyway?
-Well, the most famous attractions are the rollercoasters.
Do you know what that is? -A rollercoaster?
Yes, of course.
Uh, no, I don't know.
-Oh, well. A rollercoaster is like a railway track,
it has sharp curves and steep inclines.
You sit in an open car and go along it.
It's so much fun!
-Are you crazy? That doesn't look like fun.
-Oh, yes it is! It's great.
You sit in the car,
and a mechanical engine pushes you up the slope,
and then you drop down.
It's a way of having fun with gravity!
-Sorry, did you say that they let you fall?
-Yes, you fall down from the very top.
-Oh, no, I don't think I like that.
I'm the king of gravity, you know.
I don't want to end up like an apple, squashed,
falling down from a tree.
No, thank you.
-Well, what do you like to do then?
-I like doing mathematics and inventing things.
I like doing experiments too.
Can you do experiments at the amusement park?
-I don't think so.
What else do you like to do?
-I like taking long walks and thinking about things,
and I like being on my own.
-Oh, well, it's gonna be quite difficult
to be on your own at an amusement park.
There are a lot of people, and there are long queues.
-Queues? Queues for what?
-Queues to get on the rollercoaster, for example.
-I won't queue to get on a rollercoaster!
I'd queue to get off one, though.
-Well, we can have a snack then.
Popcorn, or hot dogs.
I love popcorn!
-I like apples. Can I eat apples?
-Well, I like apples too,
but it's not something you'd normally eat in an amusement park.
-Well, then I have to say I don't find anything amusing there.
-Newton, you are impossible!
-No, nothing is impossible.
Science makes the impossible, possible!
-Yes, like the rollercoaster, for example.
I think it works because of mathematics and science.
-Oh, interesting!
I think I will come with you, then.
-Great. Let's go!
We're on the rollercoaster now and it's about to start.
Are you ready, Newton? Hold on tight!
-Well, I suppose is the Lord of gravity.
What goes up, must come down!
-That's right. Let's go!
Bye! -Ahh!
