Whoosh!

0:00:060:00:10

Hello. I'm Manish. I've come to tell you a bedtime story.

0:00:100:00:14

And tonight's bedtime story is set in outer space. Teddy's ready.

0:00:140:00:20

Shall we get ready too?

0:00:200:00:22

Great. Grab your space helmet... strap into the rocket.

0:00:220:00:28

We're ready.

0:00:280:00:30

The story's called Welcome to Alien School, by Caryl Hart and Ed Eaves.

0:00:300:00:35

"Red Five, Red Five, this is Mission Control. Get ready for countdown.

0:00:370:00:43

"Five, four, three, two, one -

0:00:430:00:48

"blast off!"

0:00:480:00:50

It's great playing space explorers.

0:00:510:00:54

I'm just about to launch my new rocket when...

0:00:540:00:57

"Albie!" Uh-oh, time for school.

0:00:570:01:01

Mum hands me my bag and we climb into the car.

0:01:010:01:05

I just have time to buckle in when...

0:01:050:01:08

"Whoa!"

0:01:100:01:11

The car whooshes up into the air, through the clouds

0:01:110:01:15

and out into space.

0:01:150:01:17

"This is awesome", I gasp.

0:01:170:01:20

We cruise past planets, then comets and stars,

0:01:200:01:24

and swoop towards a strange spotty planet.

0:01:240:01:26

Mum puts the brakes on and we glide to the ground.

0:01:270:01:31

There are spaceships EVERYWHERE.

0:01:310:01:33

Mum opens the door and tells me to hop out. "Have a good day", she says.

0:01:360:01:41

"Wait!" I cry. "This isn't my school."

0:01:410:01:47

But it's too late. Suddenly, an enormous shaggy alien appears.

0:01:470:01:53

"What's your name?" it growls.

0:01:530:01:56

"I'm Albie", I tremble. "Please don't eat me."

0:01:560:02:01

"Oh, I never eat my friends", grins the alien.

0:02:010:02:05

"I'm Noggle. Come on, we'll be late."

0:02:050:02:10

Our teacher is called Mr Crark. He looks very strange indeed.

0:02:100:02:15

"Welcome to alien school", he gurgles.

0:02:150:02:18

Everyone is starting at me.

0:02:200:02:22

I try to blend in,

0:02:220:02:23

-but Mr Crark asks the class to guess what kind of creature

-I

-am.

0:02:230:02:27

It's SO embarrassing.

0:02:270:02:30

"Is it an ogleblob?" asks a pink alien.

0:02:300:02:34

"No, it's a durkle!", says a long-nosed yellow creature.

0:02:340:02:40

"Actually", says Mr Crark, "Albie's a human from Planet Earth.

0:02:400:02:45

"But don't worry, I'm sure he's very friendly,

0:02:450:02:48

"and almost certainly won't bite."

0:02:480:02:51

First, we have to do spellings.

0:02:510:02:54

"Spell...bazoozlesquark", says Mr Crark.

0:02:540:02:59

"Spell...flobbedy-obbedy-pimpom.

0:02:590:03:02

"Spell...togtogdenoggleplob."

0:03:040:03:08

"This is hopeless, I can't spell anything!"

0:03:080:03:12

"Don't worry", says Noggle, "it's always hard at first."

0:03:120:03:16

Next, we have to do sums. Now, I love maths, but space sums are impossible.

0:03:180:03:24

I can't even recognise the numbers.

0:03:240:03:26

Just then, a loud alarm starts to ring.

0:03:280:03:31

Phew. "Lunchtime", shouts Noggle, and we all rush for the door.

0:03:310:03:38

The canteen is packed with the strangest creatures I've ever seen.

0:03:380:03:43

Noggle pushes a button on a green nozzle,

0:03:430:03:46

and "Splurk!" - something lands on my plate.

0:03:460:03:49

"Eugh."

0:03:490:03:52

"Mmm, space-ghetti, my favourite", grins Noggle.

0:03:520:03:58

"Are you sure it's OK?" I whisper. "It seems to be glowing."

0:03:580:04:02

After lunch, it's messy time.

0:04:030:04:06

I paint a fierce T Rex, but space paints must be magic,

0:04:060:04:10

because the T Rex comes to life.

0:04:100:04:12

"Uh-oh." Quick as a flash,

0:04:130:04:16

Noggle shoves a painted lollipop between its teeth.

0:04:160:04:20

That should keep it quiet.

0:04:200:04:23

We tidy up our things then rush outside to play.

0:04:230:04:27

"Let's ride the scooters", shouts Noggle.

0:04:270:04:30

Riding a scooter at home is easy, but these ones look a bit more tricky.

0:04:300:04:36

Noggle zooms off. "Just push the red button and hold on tight", he says.

0:04:360:04:44

But there are loads of buttons - and they're all red.

0:04:440:04:48

I don't know which one to press, so I try all of them, and...

0:04:480:04:52

"Whoa!" The scooter flips and twists, and I tumble through the sky.

0:04:520:04:57

"Help, I'm heading for outer space!"

0:04:570:05:02

Suddenly, something grabs me around the waist.

0:05:020:05:05

It's Mr Crark's long arms.

0:05:050:05:07

I'm saved.

0:05:070:05:10

"It looks like you could do with some scooter lessons", he laughs.

0:05:100:05:13

Noggle rushes up and gives me a big hug.

0:05:140:05:18

"Sorry, Albie", he mumbles, "I thought you'd ridden one before."

0:05:180:05:23

"That's OK," I say, "it was amazing."

0:05:230:05:26

All too soon, it's home time. I rush up to Mum.

0:05:280:05:32

"Can Noggle come for tea?" I ask. Mum smiles at my new friend.

0:05:320:05:36

"That would be lovely", she says. "But Albie has swimming tonight."

0:05:360:05:41

"See you tomorrow then", I sigh.

0:05:430:05:46

"Have fun at the pool", calls Noggle.

0:05:460:05:49

"Uh-oh."

0:05:500:05:53

That story was called Welcome to Alien School.

0:05:560:05:59

Albie had such an unexpected day at school, didn't he?

0:05:590:06:03

And it looked like the swimming lesson

0:06:030:06:05

was going to be an adventure as well.

0:06:050:06:08

I think that Albie has got a great imagination.

0:06:080:06:11

Now though, it's time for you to see where your imagination might

0:06:110:06:15

take you while you're dreaming.

0:06:150:06:17

Off you go then, get tucked up in bed.

0:06:170:06:20

I'll be back to tell you another bedtime story very soon. Sleep tight.
