Cbeebies Bedtime Story.

0:00:020:00:05

Hello, I'm Emilia.

0:00:080:00:10

And I was just trying to spot a robin.

0:00:100:00:13

You can tell them apart from other birds,

0:00:130:00:15

because they have a red chest and none of the other birds have that.

0:00:150:00:20

Have you ever wondered why robins have red chests?

0:00:200:00:23

I did and then I heard a story which explained everything.

0:00:230:00:27

Shall I tell you about it?

0:00:270:00:29

The story's called Little Robin Red Vest.

0:00:290:00:33

It was the week before Christmas

0:00:330:00:35

and Little Robin was getting very excited.

0:00:350:00:38

He washed and ironed seven warm vests for the frosty days ahead.

0:00:380:00:44

He put on his white vest and set out to skate on the pond.

0:00:440:00:48

On the way he met Frog.

0:00:480:00:51

"I'm so cold!" said Frog.

0:00:520:00:55

"Can you help?"

0:00:550:00:58

Little Robin gave Frog his white vest.

0:00:580:01:01

I've got six vests left, he thought, as Frog hopped off happily.

0:01:010:01:08

Six days before Christmas, Little Robin put on his green vest

0:01:080:01:13

and dashed out to play in the snow.

0:01:130:01:16

Down the path, came Hedgehog.

0:01:160:01:19

"I'm freezing!" he said.

0:01:200:01:23

Little Robin gave Hedgehog his green vest.

0:01:240:01:27

I've still got five vests left, he thought,

0:01:270:01:31

waving goodbye to his prickly friend.

0:01:310:01:34

Five days to go before Christmas,

0:01:350:01:38

Little Robin put on his pink vest and went to look for worms.

0:01:380:01:42

He hadn't gone far, when Mole appeared.

0:01:430:01:47

"Brr! The ground's too hard to dig and I'm chilly," he complained.

0:01:470:01:54

So Little Robin gave his pink vest to Mole.

0:01:540:01:57

It was a bit tight, but Mole didn't mind,

0:01:570:02:00

he was nice and warm!

0:02:000:02:03

Four vests left, thought Little Robin.

0:02:040:02:07

Four days before Christmas, Little Robin put on his yellow vest

0:02:090:02:14

and flew up to sit in the tall oak tree,

0:02:140:02:16

where he met Squirrel.

0:02:160:02:19

"I'm so cold I can't sleep!" Squirrel grumbled.

0:02:190:02:23

Little Robin handed over his yellow vest.

0:02:240:02:28

Only three vests left now, he thought,

0:02:290:02:32

as Squirrel dozed off.

0:02:320:02:35

Three days before Christmas, Little Robin put on his blue vest.

0:02:360:02:41

He was swooping down through the clouds,

0:02:410:02:44

when he saw Rabbit on the hill.

0:02:440:02:47

"I'm so cold, my teeth are chattering!" shivered Rabbit.

0:02:470:02:53

Little Robin gave Rabbit his blue vest.

0:02:540:02:57

Well, I've still got two left,

0:02:570:03:00

he said to himself.

0:03:000:03:02

as Rabbit went cheerfully on his way.

0:03:020:03:05

Two days before Christmas, Little Robin put on his purple vest

0:03:070:03:11

and skipped along the riverbank.

0:03:110:03:14

Next to the river stood Otter, with her baby.

0:03:140:03:19

She was very unhappy.

0:03:190:03:22

"My baby is poorly," she said.

0:03:220:03:25

Little Robin's purple vest was just the right size for Baby Otter

0:03:270:03:31

and made him feel so much better.

0:03:310:03:34

Oh dear, I've only got one vest left,

0:03:360:03:40

thought Little Robin.

0:03:400:03:41

On the day before Christmas,

0:03:430:03:45

Little Robin put on his very last vest.

0:03:450:03:48

A warm orange one.

0:03:480:03:50

He'd been walking and whistling to himself for some time

0:03:510:03:55

when he met a little mouse, shivering in the garden.

0:03:550:03:59

Little Robin felt so sorry for her that he took off his woolly vest

0:03:590:04:04

and pulled it over her chilly little ears.

0:04:040:04:08

Now, it was late on Christmas Eve, the snow was falling

0:04:080:04:13

and poor Little Robin had nothing warm to wear.

0:04:130:04:16

There was nobody around to help him and it was a long way from home.

0:04:160:04:22

He fluffed up his feathers as best he could

0:04:220:04:26

and huddled miserably on a snowy roof.

0:04:260:04:30

Soon, he fell asleep.

0:04:300:04:33

Not even the sleigh bells woke him,

0:04:330:04:36

or the crunch of snow under two heavy, black boots.

0:04:360:04:41

Large hands scooped Little Robin up

0:04:410:04:44

and tucked him into a soft white beard.

0:04:440:04:48

"You had better come with me, my lad," chuckled a gruff, jolly voice.

0:04:480:04:54

"This is the generous little fellow I told you about,"

0:04:540:04:59

the man said to his wife.

0:04:590:05:01

"He must have a very special present then," she replied.

0:05:010:05:07

And with Little Robin snug and cosy in her lap,

0:05:070:05:11

the lady set to work.

0:05:110:05:13

She pulled a thread from a big, bright red coat

0:05:130:05:18

and with it, she knitted a tiny vest.

0:05:180:05:21

It was a perfect fit for a little bird.

0:05:210:05:25

"I'm very proud of you,"

0:05:250:05:28

said the man with a smile.

0:05:280:05:30

"You gave away all your warm clothes to help other people.

0:05:300:05:35

"You are full of the spirit of Christmas.

0:05:350:05:38

"Now it's time for your present.

0:05:380:05:42

"This vest is very, very special.

0:05:420:05:46

"It will keep you warm forever and when other people see you,

0:05:460:05:50

"it will make them feel warm too."

0:05:500:05:54

It was time to go.

0:05:540:05:56

Back across the skies as the sun rose to kiss the land.

0:05:560:06:01

Little Robin was very happy.

0:06:010:06:05

His chest glowed as red as a reindeer's nose.

0:06:050:06:08

Soon Little Robin was home.

0:06:080:06:13

"Merry Christmas!" cried the man as he flew off.

0:06:130:06:18

"Goodbye and thank you," Little Robin shouted back.

0:06:180:06:22

It was Christmas morning.

0:06:240:06:26

Boys and girls everywhere were opening their presents.

0:06:260:06:30

Little Robin flew to the highest branch,

0:06:300:06:33

proudly wearing his new red vest

0:06:330:06:36

and sang out sweetly to wish everyone a merry Christmas.

0:06:360:06:42

That story was called Little Robin Red Vest

0:06:440:06:48

and that's why he has a beautiful, glowing red chest.

0:06:480:06:52

Well, I'm going to have another look to see if I can find a robin.

0:06:540:06:58

And while I do, it's time for you to find your bed.

0:06:580:07:02

Night-night and I'll see you soon for another story.
