Hello, I'm Derek.

0:26:060:26:09

Do you know who lives in a tree?

0:26:090:26:11

Yes, squirrels and birds live in trees.

0:26:110:26:15

But I know about another family who live in a special tree.

0:26:150:26:19

They're called the Stick family,

0:26:190:26:21

and tonight's bedtime story is all about the dad.

0:26:210:26:24

He ends up having a lot of adventures, and one in particular

0:26:240:26:29

means he can help a very special person, who visits us once a year.

0:26:290:26:35

I wonder if you know who that is. Why don't I tell you the story,

0:26:350:26:39

and you can find out if you're right? The story is by

0:26:390:26:42

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler and is called Stick Man.

0:26:420:26:47

Stick Man lives in the family tree, with his Stick Lady Love

0:26:470:26:53

and their stick children, three.

0:26:530:26:55

One day, he wakes early and goes for a jog.

0:26:550:26:58

Stick Man, oh, Stick Man, beware of the dog!

0:26:580:27:02

"A stick," barks the dog, "an excellent stick!

0:27:020:27:05

"The right kind of stick for my favourite trick.

0:27:050:27:09

"I'll fetch it and drop it and fetch it and then I'll drop it

0:27:090:27:13

"and fetch it and drop it again." "I'm not a stick! Why can't you see?

0:27:130:27:17

"I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, that's me,

0:27:170:27:22

"and I want to go home to the family tree."

0:27:220:27:25

A notice says, "Dogs must be kept on the lead."

0:27:250:27:29

At last, the game's over, and Stick Man is freed.

0:27:290:27:33

He sets off for home with a hop and a twirl,

0:27:330:27:36

Stick Man, oh, Stick Man, beware of the girl!

0:27:360:27:41

"A stick!" cries the girl, with a smile on her face,

0:27:410:27:45

"The right kind of Pooh-stick for winning the race.

0:27:450:27:49

"Has everyone got one? Get ready to throw.

0:27:490:27:52

"It's one, two, three, into the river they go."

0:27:520:27:56

"I'm not a Pooh-stick, why can't they see?

0:27:560:27:59

"I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, that's me,

0:27:590:28:04

"and I'm heading away from the family tree."

0:28:040:28:08

Stick Man is floating, he floats on and on.

0:28:080:28:12

Stick Man, oh, Stick Man, beware of the swan.

0:28:120:28:17

"A twig," says the swan, "this twig is the best.

0:28:170:28:22

"It's the right kind of twig to weave into my nest."

0:28:220:28:25

"I'm not a twig! Why can't they see? I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man,

0:28:250:28:32

"I'm Stick Man, that's me,

0:28:320:28:34

"and I long to be back in the family tree."

0:28:340:28:38

The nest is deserted, and Stick Man is free.

0:28:380:28:43

He drifts down the river and sails out to sea.

0:28:430:28:47

He tosses and turns, till the frolicking foam

0:28:470:28:51

washes him up on a beach far from home.

0:28:510:28:54

Here comes a dad with a spade in his hand.

0:28:540:28:58

Stick Man, oh, Stick Man, beware of the sand.

0:28:580:29:02

"A mast!" yells the dad, "An excellent mast!

0:29:020:29:06

"Hooray, there's a flag on our castle at last."

0:29:060:29:10

"I'm not a mast for a silly old flag,

0:29:100:29:15

"or a sword for a knight, or a hook for a bag.

0:29:150:29:18

"I'm not a pen, I'm not a bow, I'm not a bat or a boomerang, no.

0:29:180:29:23

"I'm Stick Man."

0:29:230:29:26

Oh, Stick Man, beware of the snow.

0:29:260:29:31

Here comes a boy

0:29:310:29:32

in a warm woolly scarf.

0:29:320:29:35

"An arm for my snowman." he says with a laugh.

0:29:350:29:39

"I'm not an arm, can nobody see?

0:29:390:29:44

"I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, that's me.

0:29:440:29:49

"Will I ever get back to the family tree?"

0:29:490:29:54

Stick Man is lonely, Stick Man is lost. Stick Man is frozen,

0:29:550:30:01

covered in frost. Stick Man is weary,

0:30:010:30:05

his eyes start to close.

0:30:050:30:07

He stretches and yawns and lies down for a doze.

0:30:070:30:15

He can't hear the bells,

0:30:150:30:17

or the sweet-swinging choir,

0:30:170:30:20

or the voice saying,

0:30:200:30:23

"Here's a good stick for the fire!"

0:30:230:30:26

Stick Man is lying asleep in the grate.

0:30:260:30:31

Can anyone wake him before it's too late?

0:30:310:30:36

He dreams of his kids and his Stick Lady Love,

0:30:360:30:41

then suddenly wakes.

0:30:410:30:43

"What's that noise up above?"

0:30:430:30:46

It starts as a chuckle, then turns to a shout.

0:30:460:30:49

"Oh, ho-ho-ho-ho, I'm stuck! Get me out."

0:30:490:30:55

A stuck man? A stuck man?

0:30:550:30:59

Now who could that be?

0:30:590:31:01

"Don't worry," cried Stick Man, "I'll soon set you free."

0:31:010:31:05

A scratch and a scrape and a flurry of soot, a wiggle, a jiggle,

0:31:050:31:10

and out pokes a foot.

0:31:100:31:12

A shove and a nudge and a hop and a jump,

0:31:120:31:15

and Santa falls into the room with a thump.

0:31:150:31:19

"Stick Man, oh, Stick Man, you excellent friend,

0:31:190:31:24

"thanks, thanks a million, thanks without end."

0:31:240:31:29

Then Stick Man helped Santa deliver the toys to fast asleep girls,

0:31:290:31:34

and to fast asleep boys.

0:31:340:31:37

Faster and faster, they fly through the snow, till Santa says,

0:31:370:31:41

"Only one chimney to go!"

0:31:410:31:44

Stick Lady's lonely.

0:31:440:31:46

The children are sad.

0:31:460:31:49

It won't feel like Christmas without their stick dad.

0:31:490:31:53

They toss and they turn in the family bed,

0:31:530:31:56

but what is that clattering sound overhead?

0:31:560:32:00

Someone is tumbling into their house!

0:32:000:32:04

Is it a bird, or a bat, or a mouse?

0:32:040:32:08

Or could it...

0:32:080:32:11

Yes, could it just possibly be...?

0:32:110:32:15

"I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, I'm Stick Man, that's me!

0:32:150:32:22

"And I'm sticking right here in the family tree."

0:32:220:32:27

And that story was called Stick Man.

0:32:280:32:30

Were you right?

0:32:300:32:32

Did you guess that Stick Man would be helping Father Christmas?

0:32:320:32:36

And it's a good job he did, otherwise no-one would've got

0:32:360:32:40

their Christmas presents.

0:32:400:32:42

Well, it's time for me to go now, but I'll be back soon,

0:32:420:32:46

with another bedtime story.

0:32:460:32:48

Night night.
