0:06:02 > 0:06:05CBeebies Bedtime Story.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10So much to do today.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Now then, once I've washed the windows I need to, um...
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Hello! I'm David.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Have you been busy today?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26I have. There's just so much to do here at CBeebies.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30The windows need washing and then I need to, um...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Ah! Water the plants.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Yes. Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Once I've watered the plants I need to, um...
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Uh...oh, I can't remember!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48There's a very busy place in tonight's bedtime story.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51But there's one animal who isn't helping.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54He's busy doing other things.
0:06:54 > 0:07:01The story is by Caroline Jayne Church and it's called Ping Pong Pig.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Appletree farm was a very busy place.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Every day the animals would rush this way and that way,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09doing their daily chores.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12All the animals worked very hard indeed.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16All, that is, except one.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Ping Pong Pig was far too busy doing his own thing.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24He spent all of his time trying to fly.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27He leapt from fences and logs,
0:07:27 > 0:07:32wheelbarrows and barrels, trying to jump higher and higher.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38"One day I will be able to fly," he told the other animals.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42"Pigs can't fly, Ping Pong," they sighed.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45But Ping Pong never stopped jumping and leaping.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48He managed to ruin the apples,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51spoil the new paint on the barn,
0:07:51 > 0:07:56free the bees and knock over all the hay.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00The animals decided that something had to be done.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04They gathered together for a meeting in the barn.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Ping Pong wondered what was going on.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The animals stayed in the barn all morning.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12They were obviously very busy.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16At last the barn doors swung open and the animals came out.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Ping Pong looked on in amazement.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24"We've made you this trampoline," they said.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27"Now take it to a quiet corner of the field
0:08:27 > 0:08:29"and let us get on with our work."
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Ping Pong climbed aboard the trampoline.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34He jumped,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36and bounced and jumped.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40"Wheeee, I can fly!" he squealed.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43"But pigs can't fly, Ping Pong,"
0:08:43 > 0:08:47the animals sighed as they went to get on with their work.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Ping Pong Pig was having the best time ever.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55But then he stopped to have a little think.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59"It was so kind of my friends to make me this present,
0:08:59 > 0:09:05"perhaps I should help out a little more as a way of saying thank you."
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So he decided to put his trampoline to better use.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11He picked the apples,
0:09:11 > 0:09:12caught the bees,
0:09:12 > 0:09:17repainted the barn and carefully stacked all the hay.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Much to his surprise, Ping Pong rather enjoyed helping out
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and his friends were delighted.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27"No more trouble from Ping Pong Pig," they all said,
0:09:27 > 0:09:32until something caught their eye.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36High at the top of an old apple tree they noticed something rustling.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It was Ping Pong Pig.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44"Look!" shouted Ping Pong, as he leapt from the branches.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46"Pigs can fly!"
0:09:46 > 0:09:50"No, Ping Pong!" cried the animals, but it was too late.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Splash!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Ping Pong landed in the middle of the pond.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01"Wow! Fish can fly too," he giggled.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04And that story was called Ping Pong Pig.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Didn't Ping Pong's trampoline look fun?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10But I don't think it would help me
0:10:10 > 0:10:13to get my jobs done around the CBeebies house.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17And I really should get them finished. So, while I do,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19it's time for you lot to go to bed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23I'll see you for another story soon. Good night.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Now then, what have I got to do? Ah! Plants.
