**Box** is the nineteenth Season 2 episode of Alphablocks.

## Synopsis

Alphablocks, a dressing-up box - it must be show time! B, O, and X discover a dressing-up box that is filled with everything they need to put on a performance of Sleeping Beauty, except for something to sleep on.

## Plot

O and X are playing noughts-and-crosses (tic-tac-toe), and X wins. B wants to join in.

b-o-x, BOX!

A box appears. X opens it and inside are props. P pops in and decides to put on a play.

At the Alphablocks Players, the play is "Sleeping Beauty". P is the narrator and L plays as a princess. I is supposed to be a witch, but doesn't have a costume.

h-a-g, HAG!

I is now a witch. She pulls a trick on L with a wheel. L pricks her finger and starts to fall asleep, but she needs something to sleep on. Some Alphablocks come to help.
