"Wind of Imagination"
Never Originally Aired (CBC, Canada)
Episode 10: "Construction" (Bravo, USA)
A small boy is playing very seriously in a sandbox. To amuse the youngster, the Guide
from the show Varekai uses solar wind to lift him to the top of a building under construction,
with workmen all around. The child also meets the architect and the two become fast friends.
Thanks to the Guide's solar wind antics, the building site is a place where the rules of
construction and logic are not always respected, or even necessary! What would the boss say
if he saw the workmen chasing each other around and finding refuge in the building's pipes? Or
the power line technician behaving like he were on Broadway? Even the architect is affected and
draws ridiculous blueprints that the foreman tries to follow! The workmen sing and dance while
on the job… Who, in fact, is in charge of this very peculiar construction site? Perhaps it's not
the one we suspect…
