0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello. I'm Emilia.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Have you ever been skating?
0:00:12 > 0:00:15It's quite difficult staying upright,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18as the ice is really slippy and you just keep sliding.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22There's a rabbit called Bella in tonight's story,
0:00:22 > 0:00:26who's never skated and she's not sure if she'll be good at it.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Shall we find out?
0:00:28 > 0:00:32The story's called Bella Gets Her Skates On.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39Daddy Rabbit liked making up funny names for his little rabbits.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Ben was always in a hurry, so Daddy called him
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Big Brother Rush-About.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Sophie was super neat, so Daddy called her
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Big Sister Tidy-Paws.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56As for little Bella, she worried a lot, so Daddy called her
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Little Baby Not-Sure.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02One winter's morning, Daddy said,
0:01:02 > 0:01:07"Who wants to go skating today? The lake is frozen hard."
0:01:07 > 0:01:09"Me, me, me!" said Ben.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12"Me, me, me!" said Sophie.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16But Bella was worried about skating.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19What if she looked silly and everyone laughed?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23"I'm not sure," she said.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26"Don't worry, Little Baby Not-Sure," said Daddy.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Eat a good breakfast and then you'll be ready for skating.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36"I'm having two smoothies," said Ben. "I'm a speedy eater."
0:01:36 > 0:01:39"Well done, Big Brother Rush-About," said Daddy.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45Sophie ate up all her frozen yoghurt without spilling one bit.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49"Well done, Big Sister Tidy-Paws," said Daddy.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53But Bella just played with her porridge
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and she wouldn't eat her eggy soldiers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59She still wasn't sure about skating.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03She only had little legs. What if she couldn't keep up?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05After breakfast, Daddy said,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09"Come on, little rabbits! Let's get ready to go out."
0:02:09 > 0:02:12"I'm the fastest," said Ben.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16"Well done, Big Brother Rush-About," said Daddy.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20"And I look the smartest," said Sophie.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24"That's right, Big Sister Tidy-Paws," said Daddy.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28But Bella wouldn't put her hat and scarf on.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32She still wasn't sure about skating.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35What if she fell over and hurt herself?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So Daddy said, "Don't worry, Little Baby Not-Sure.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42"Let's just have some fun in the snow first."
0:02:42 > 0:02:48"Yes! Let's all make a snow rabbit!" shouted Ben and Sophie.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So, Bella went outside with the others.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56But instead of making a snow rabbit, she made a snow mouse!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59That made everybody laugh.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03"Well done, my funny bunny," said Daddy.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Then, Ben and Sophie wanted to go sledging.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10"Good idea," said Daddy. "All aboard!"
0:03:10 > 0:03:15And before Bella had time to start worrying, off they went,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18sliding over the snow.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Soon, they were rushing down, the wind in their ears.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25But suddenly, they came to a bumpy bit.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Up in the air went Ben and Sophie!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And down they went... Plop! ..into a snow drift.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36But Bella held on tight, all the way to the bottom.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39She didn't fall off at all.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44"Well done, my slippy-slider," laughed Daddy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47They stopped at the edge of the lake and Daddy said,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49"Skates on, everyone!"
0:03:49 > 0:03:53But Bella was worried again.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56What a very big lake it was!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59And what a lot of skaters!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, Bella just sat and watched with Daddy.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Then she said, "Look at that funny bunny!
0:04:06 > 0:04:11"I was a funny bunny when I made my snow mouse, wasn't I?"
0:04:11 > 0:04:14"Yes, you were," laughed Daddy.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17"And look at that slippy-slider,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21"I was a slippy-slider when I stayed on the sledge, wasn't I?"
0:04:21 > 0:04:26"You were the best slippy-slider," laughed Daddy.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30That made Bella feel a lot more sure of herself.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35"Maybe I can be a skater, too," she said.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So, she laced up her boots.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44And one paw, two paws, she stepped onto the ice.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And she went slip!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49She went slide.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51And suddenly, Bella was skating!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54"This is fun," she shouted.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58"Well done, Bella!" called Daddy.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03"You're a super skater!" said Ben and Sophie.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05After the skating was over,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Daddy said they could all have hot chocolate.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So, Ben ran and fetched some extra quick.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16"Well done, Big Brother Rush-About," said Daddy.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Sophie did the pouring and she didn't spill a drop.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24"Well done, Big Sister Tidy-Paws," said daddy.
0:05:24 > 0:05:31Bella drank a great, big mugful and said it was the best ever.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35"Well done, my little super-skater," said Daddy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40And as they walked home, Daddy said, "Wasn't skating fun today?"
0:05:40 > 0:05:42"Who wants to go again tomorrow?"
0:05:42 > 0:05:45"Me, me, me!" said Ben.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47"Me, me, me!" said Sophie.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52But Bella said, "I'm not sure."
0:05:52 > 0:05:56"Not sure about skating?" asked Daddy.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01"No, I'm not sure I can wait till tomorrow," laughed Bella.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06"Three cheers for Bella!" said Ben and Sophie.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09"Hip, hip hooray!" said Daddy.
0:06:09 > 0:06:16And do you know, he didn't call her Little Baby Not-Sure ever again.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21And that story was called, Bella Gets Her Skates On.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Maybe I am brave enough to have a go.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27What do you think?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Well, while I decide, it's time for you to slide down into your bed
0:06:32 > 0:06:34and snuggle up nice and warm.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38And I'll be back soon to tell you another bedtime story.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Night, night.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Now, maybe if I move like this...
