Hello. I'm Dr Ranj.

0:00:060:00:09

Thank you for joining me for a Christmassy bedtime story.

0:00:090:00:13

Have you ever wondered how Father Christmas delivers

0:00:130:00:16

all of the presents in one night?

0:00:160:00:18

Well, sometimes, he needs a bit of help and tonight's story

0:00:180:00:22

is all about a very unlikely little helper.

0:00:220:00:27

It's called Norman The Slug Who Saved Christmas

0:00:270:00:30

and it's written and illustrated by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet.

0:00:300:00:35

Norman was very excited, it was Christmas Eve.

0:00:350:00:40

His stocking was up and he'd even left

0:00:400:00:43

a snack for Father Christmas's reindeer.

0:00:430:00:47

Meanwhile, far above, Father Christmas sneezed.

0:00:470:00:51

"Achoo!"

0:00:510:00:53

And, without him knowing it, a sack fell from his sleigh.

0:00:530:00:57

Down on the ground, Norman snuggled in his bed.

0:00:580:01:02

"I hope I've been a good slug," he said to himself.

0:01:020:01:06

"I hope Father Christmas comes.

0:01:060:01:08

"Yes, I have been a good slug," thought Norman.

0:01:080:01:12

And he was just closing his eyes

0:01:120:01:14

when...thwack!

0:01:140:01:16

"Gosh!" thought Norman,

0:01:160:01:18

"I didn't know I'd been that good!"

0:01:180:01:21

"Thanks, Father Christmas!"

0:01:210:01:23

Norman dived straight in, there was wrapping paper everywhere.

0:01:240:01:29

But then he spotted something.

0:01:290:01:32

"What's this label?" said Norman.

0:01:320:01:35

"The scooter is for Jess," he read.

0:01:370:01:40

"The ukulele is for Billy.

0:01:400:01:43

"And the football is for Susie."

0:01:430:01:45

"Oh, no! What have I done? None of these presents are for me."

0:01:460:01:53

"Billy, Jess and Susie will wake up tomorrow

0:01:530:01:56

"and think that Father Christmas has forgotten them.

0:01:560:02:00

"I better get these presents to Wiggleton as fast as I can."

0:02:000:02:03

But Wiggleton looked a very long way away.

0:02:030:02:08

How would Norman get all the presents there?

0:02:080:02:11

And that is when he had an idea.

0:02:110:02:14

Heave! He pushed over the sign.

0:02:150:02:19

"Fantastic! That will do nicely," thought Norman.

0:02:190:02:23

Then he set to work, gathering all the other things he needed.

0:02:230:02:28

He was very busy.

0:02:280:02:30

Ta-da!

0:02:300:02:31

Now it was time to rewrap the presents.

0:02:310:02:35

But how?

0:02:350:02:36

Norman didn't have any sticky tape.

0:02:360:02:39

But, luckily, if there's one thing slugs don't need, it's sticky tape.

0:02:390:02:44

With a slither and a slother, the presents were ready.

0:02:440:02:49

"Phew!"

0:02:490:02:50

Now it was time to put his plan into action.

0:02:500:02:54

"Hey, snails," he called,

0:02:540:02:56

"I need your help."

0:02:560:02:57

"We need to deliver the Shelby family's presents or

0:02:570:03:01

"their Christmas will be ruined."

0:03:010:03:03

"But, Norman," said the puzzled snails,

0:03:030:03:06

"how will we do that?"

0:03:060:03:08

"Like this!" said Norman.

0:03:090:03:11

"Giddy-up, whee!"

0:03:110:03:13

Crash!

0:03:150:03:17

Finally, they arrived at 11 Slime Avenue.

0:03:170:03:20

"Erm, Norman," said a snail,

0:03:220:03:25

"how will you get to the chimney?"

0:03:250:03:28

"I won't," Norman replied,

0:03:280:03:30

"I'm going to use the cat flap."

0:03:300:03:33

CAT MEOWS

0:03:330:03:35

He heaved and pushed until the last present was safely through.

0:03:350:03:40

"Quick, Norman!" cried the snails, "the children are coming."

0:03:410:03:45

Norman needed to hide.

0:03:450:03:47

But where?

0:03:470:03:49

Ta-da!

0:03:490:03:51

Norman loved being a bauble

0:03:510:03:54

and nobody would ever know that a slug had saved Christmas Day.

0:03:540:04:00

Thank goodness Norman and the snails were there to help.

0:04:010:04:05

They really did save Christmas, didn't they?

0:04:050:04:08

It's time to get snuggled up and close your eyes.

0:04:080:04:11

Perhaps you'll dream of saving Christmas, just like Norman.

0:04:110:04:15

I'll see you again very soon, for another bedtime story.

0:04:150:04:19

Night-night and merry Christmas.
