0:01:09 > 0:01:13- < Bedtime, Lucy.- OK, Mum.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Wheee!

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Hello, everybody.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41ALL: Hello, Lucy.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43What's in the box, Lucy?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Ah-ha!

0:01:47 > 0:01:49ALL: Ooh.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54Play clay animals. Did you make those, Lucy?

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Yes, and I've done one of each of you.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Oh, thank you, Lucy.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04And very well made.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08MONKEYS LAUGH

0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Oh, no!- What's the matter, Lucy?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Your model has disappeared.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22I showed my models to my friend, Chloe, today. Maybe she kept one.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Without asking you first?

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Once, she took one of my lollies without asking. So...

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Lucy, just because someone does something once,

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- doesn't mean they'll do it again. - That's right.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42Why don't we tell Lucy the story of the house of leaves?

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- ALL: Oh, yes.- Good idea.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Nelson the elephant liked making things.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51One day, he decided to build the biggest

0:02:51 > 0:02:54and best house of leaves there had ever been.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Uncle Nelson!

0:02:58 > 0:03:03- Careful, don't move. - Hello, what are you making?

0:03:03 > 0:03:07I'm making the biggest and best house of leaves there has ever been.

0:03:07 > 0:03:13Wow! That really is amazing. You're so clever, Uncle Nelson.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, careful.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Ah, ooh, ooh. A house of leaves is very fragile, Nigel.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22I'll show it to you when it's finished.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25I only want to watch. Is that OK?

0:03:25 > 0:03:31- Well, as long as you don't disturb me.- Can I help, too?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Oh, please, can I? I'll be careful.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Oh, all right, then.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Wow!- Sshh! Just look at it.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Ooh!- Oh...

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Listen to me, Nigel. I'm going to find the others.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I want you to watch over the house of leaves.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Don't let anyone get near it. Promise?

0:04:18 > 0:04:19I promise.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29But Nigel couldn't keep his promise.

0:04:29 > 0:04:34The house of leaves was so irresistibly inviting.

0:04:37 > 0:04:43Huh, it looks pretty solid to me. Uncle Nelson was exaggerating.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Whoa!

0:04:47 > 0:04:51HE LAUGHS

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Oh...

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Oh, just wait until you see my creation.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15No-o-o-o-o-o!

0:05:15 > 0:05:20Nigel, I told you not to touch my house of leaves.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Go and stand beside the naughty tree.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Sorry, Uncle Nelson.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I'll just have to start all over again.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38We'll come back later, Nelson.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Ah! I'm going to fetch the others.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58- Nigel, this time... - I know, Uncle Nelson, don't worry.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I won't do it again.- I hope not.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Oh, no!

0:06:14 > 0:06:17NIGEL CRIES OUT

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- You did it again! - But I didn't do anything.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28You've done it once, why should I believe you this time?

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Back to the naughty tree.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36Nigel thought his Uncle Nelson wasn't being fair.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Nelson was getting hot and bothered.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49NIGEL SNORES

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Ooh.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Mmm...

0:07:03 > 0:07:04Oh!

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Last two leaves and then it's finished. One...

0:07:20 > 0:07:26What? Where's the last leaf? It's not possible, I counted them all.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30You ate one of my leaves while I was swimming, didn't you?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32But I haven't done anything.

0:07:32 > 0:07:38Of course you haven't. Perhaps I ate it!

0:07:38 > 0:07:42I think you'd better go away and find something else to do.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's not fair!

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Nigel hadn't eaten his Uncle Nelson's leaf

0:07:48 > 0:07:51and he was determined to prove it.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56Hello, Audrey. I'm looking for the missing leaf from my Uncle Nelson's

0:07:56 > 0:07:57house of leaves.

0:07:57 > 0:08:02Have a look at my nest. If you find the one you're after,

0:08:02 > 0:08:03then do take it.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Thanks, Audrey, but it's not here.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Are you hungry, Nigel? Would you like some leaves?

0:08:24 > 0:08:29Thanks, Georgina, but I'm looking for something important.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34- What's that, Nigel? - The truth, Georgina! The truth!

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Fabulous!

0:08:48 > 0:08:54- The biggest...- And best... - House of leaves...- Ever.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Hmm.- What's the matter, Nelson?

0:09:00 > 0:09:07This isn't the biggest or best house of leaves ever. I'm missing a leaf.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh!

0:09:09 > 0:09:14My project is ruined and all because of Nigel.

0:09:17 > 0:09:22Come on, your house of leaves is still spectacular.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- You'll find another leaf. - Ah, careful!

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Don't come any closer.

0:09:31 > 0:09:37I know where the missing leaf is! The leaf is there.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Where?- There! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43THEY ALL LAUGH

0:09:43 > 0:09:48Ah, so that was the truth you were searching for, Nigel.

0:09:50 > 0:09:55Oh, it's all my fault? I'm sorry for not believing you, Nigel.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- I just wanted to help you.- Oh...

0:09:59 > 0:10:01ALL: Aw...

0:10:05 > 0:10:08It was time for the last leaf.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12And then we all marvelled at the biggest

0:10:12 > 0:10:15and best house of leaves ever,

0:10:15 > 0:10:18made by Nelson and Nigel.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21So, you see, Lucy,

0:10:21 > 0:10:24you should never accuse someone of something

0:10:24 > 0:10:27unless you know for sure it was them.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31I'd better check my bedroom properly before I ask Chloe.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33ALL: Oh, yes.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Oh, look! There you are, Georgina.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Oh!

0:10:43 > 0:10:49- Good night, Georgina, and little Georgina.- Good night, Lucy.
