0:00:02 > 0:00:04# It doesn't matter if you're tiny or tall
0:00:04 > 0:00:07# It doesn't matter if you're big or small
0:00:07 > 0:00:09# If you want to have fun it doesn't matter at all
0:00:09 > 0:00:12- # You've got it, Big! - Why, thank you, Small! #
0:00:12 > 0:00:14BOTH: # Skipping, flipping climbing up a rope
0:00:14 > 0:00:16# Hiding, riding sliding down a slope
0:00:16 > 0:00:19# Skating on an ice cube swinging on a star
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- # It makes no difference what size you are!- Nice!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25# If you want to have fun it doesn't matter at all
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- # Cos here we are We're Big and Small!- Yeah! #
0:00:29 > 0:00:33And the rat said, "Oh, Mr Cat!"
0:00:33 > 0:00:40But the very next day, the cat came back with a huge load of bananas.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The end. Oh, the cat came back, Small!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Wasn't that a nice surprise!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- No!- I thought you liked this story.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I do, I love it.
0:00:50 > 0:00:56Since I've read it, like, 401 times, it's not that surprising anymore.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- That's true.- I mean, it was totally and completely surprising
0:00:59 > 0:01:01the first 400 times.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I never thought that cat would come back.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07But now, I kind of know it's going to happen.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13- Well, do you want to choose another book?- Yes!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Ok, let me see, let me see.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Superworm Saves The Day, Superworm Does The Dishes...
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Big, I don't believe it!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I think we've read all of these, like, 400 times.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Well, I guess we're out of stories.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31You mean that I'll never hear
0:01:31 > 0:01:35a new story again? Ever, never?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Not until we get more books.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42But that could take days, weeks, months, years.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44More years!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- Oh! Not necessarily!- Keep talking.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54How about... Small, how about I write you a story?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Can you do that?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I know you can fly to the moon
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and catch the sun but can you write a book?
0:02:01 > 0:02:07- I can try! It might actually be fun!- Oh!
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Ok, it can be about cowboys in space who play tennis on Wednesdays.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18I need to write it by myself, Small. That way, it will be a surprise.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Oh, Big, you think of everything. Now go!
0:02:21 > 0:02:26- Write, write like the wind. - You want me to do it now?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29But Small, it's almost lunchtime.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34You write the story and I'll go outside and blow a million bubbles.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39You know what? I've always wanted to write a story.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Just imagine, all the wonderful things I could put in it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50# My imagination's running wild
0:02:50 > 0:02:53# My mind's about to burst
0:02:53 > 0:02:57# So many stories to be told but which tale to tell first
0:02:57 > 0:03:01# I'm so full of great ideas I better get my pen
0:03:01 > 0:03:03# And write them down one by one
0:03:03 > 0:03:08# Read them out and when Small hears my tales,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11# He'll be thrilled He'll yell, he'll shout, he'll roar
0:03:11 > 0:03:16# I'll sit down with that pen again and then I'll write some more
0:03:16 > 0:03:18# My imagination's running wild
0:03:18 > 0:03:20# My mind's about to burst
0:03:20 > 0:03:24# So many stories to be told but which tale to tell first
0:03:24 > 0:03:29# My imagination's running wild my mind's about to burst
0:03:29 > 0:03:33# So many stories to be told, which tale to tell first
0:03:33 > 0:03:36# I'll sit down with that pen again
0:03:36 > 0:03:41# And then I'll write some more and when Small hears my tales
0:03:41 > 0:03:45# He'll yell, he'll shout, he'll roar. #
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Right then, once upon a time...
0:03:52 > 0:03:56This story is going to be great already.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Small is going to love this. There was...no!
0:04:01 > 0:04:07There used to be...erm...no!
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Oh! There may have been...no!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16That's not right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21There are so many words I could use but I'm not sure which I should use!
0:04:22 > 0:04:28Ye-hey! One gazillion, million bubbles. Wo-hoo!
0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Ah! Is that the story?- Yes.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- It's pretty good so far.- Wow-osaurus!
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- I'm sure it's the best story ever. - Mm.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Is it all about cowboys and space?
0:04:45 > 0:04:50OK, so I'm guessing you wrote,
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- "Once upon a time, there was a space cowboy."- Erm, OK.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59And he ran into a jungle and there he found...
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Space cowboy, jungle. Mm.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09Erm, there he found a beautiful princess
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- named Gesundheit.- Mm.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18Who is actually the best cowboy of all. Only she had to kiss a frog.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- Yep, oh!- And that's disgusting, so forget that.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Mm. Hm. OK, that's a beautiful princess, Gesundheit,
0:05:26 > 0:05:31best cowboy, kiss a frog, that's not so disgusting.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- Wow!- Instead, Gesundheit and space cowboy built a boat out of books.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43- Oh-oh-oh! OK, OK.- They became pirates. Ha, ha, ha! Ahoy, mateys!
0:05:43 > 0:05:47So, is that what happens, Big? Is it? Is it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- Small, don't you want this to be a surprise?- Oh, yeah, I do.
0:05:52 > 0:05:58- 100 times, yes.- OK, then don't ask me any questions.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02OK, I've got it. No questions. Nothing. None.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Thank you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08HE SIGHS
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Ho! Ho! Oh, yeah!
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Yeah! That's good. Ho, ho! Yeah, great!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You know what, Big? I dunno.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I didn't say the cowboy runs you to the JANGLE,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I said he went into the JUNGLE.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27You forgot the part about the stuff that I said.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Is there not something else you could be doing now?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I did promise Ruby that I'd show her
0:06:33 > 0:06:36how to dance like a chicken on roller-skates.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Will the story be finished when I get back?- Hopefully.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- I can't promise anything, though. - Bye!
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Right! Where was I? Oh, yes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54Once upon a time, there was a space cowboy
0:06:54 > 0:06:59who ran into the jungle. Hmmm...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Should the pirates go to Banana Island or bury some treasure?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Too many choices.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I am never going to get this finished.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12OK, Big, don't ever teach a mouse
0:07:12 > 0:07:16how to dance like a chicken on rollerskates.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Brrr!
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Hey, is that the story? Great. Lay it on me.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Well, it's not quite ready yet.
0:07:25 > 0:07:32- I don't mind. Let me hear it. - I'm stuck.- What do you mean?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34You haven't finished yet?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I thought you'd have written the surprise ending by now
0:07:37 > 0:07:39when the pirates go to the moon
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and discover the biggest mountain ever
0:07:41 > 0:07:43and play hopscotch with a goose. The end.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49- Just give me a few more minutes. - Fine. Fine.
0:07:49 > 0:07:55- I'll go and jump on the bed, but then it's story time.- OK.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Right. Then the pirates went to the moon and discovered a mountain
0:08:02 > 0:08:06and after that they played hopscotch with a goose.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12The end. I did it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- OK. Are you ready?- Yes.- Here we go.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24"Once upon a time there was a cowboy who ran into the jungle."
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Wow, Big. What a start.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33- Yeah! "There he found..." - "A beautiful princess named..."
0:08:33 > 0:08:39BOTH: "Gesundheit, who was actually the best cowboy of all,
0:08:39 > 0:08:47- "only she had to kiss a frog and that's disgusting."- Eugh! No kidding!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49"So Gesundheit and Space Cowboy
0:08:49 > 0:08:53"built a boat out of books and became pirates."
0:08:53 > 0:08:59Ha-ha! Ahoy, mateys! This is the best book ever.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- I hope the next part is about the moon.- Let's see.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07BOTH: "Then the pirates went to the moon
0:09:07 > 0:09:12"and discovered the biggest mountain ever
0:09:12 > 0:09:18"and played hopscotch with a goose. The end."
0:09:18 > 0:09:20That was fantastic.
0:09:20 > 0:09:26- I loved it.- I'm glad, Small, because you wrote it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Wait. I didn't write it. You wrote it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33The paper, remember? The thing with the dingy-ding and the buttons
0:09:33 > 0:09:36and how you kept telling me to go away.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I remember. I did the writing, but the ideas were all yours.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48Hey! They WERE mine! Does that mean I'm a great story maker-upper?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51It does. One of the best, I imagine.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57I AM the best! I'm the best! I'm the best!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Ha-ha. But do you know what?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03You, Big, are a great story write-it-downer.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- I couldn't have done it without you.- That's true
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I suppose we are good at different things.- Exactly.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Good night, Big.- OK.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Ah! Hmm.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Big?- Yes, Small?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Can we read it again?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Of course! Come on up.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32THEY LAUGH
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- OK. All right.- Woo-hoo! - All right. Ready?- Yep.
0:10:36 > 0:10:43- "Once upon a time there was a Space Cowboy who ran into a jungle."- Oh!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I didn't see that coming!- Ha-ha!
