0:07:02 > 0:07:05CBeebies Bedtime Story.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09D'you know, I just can't work out what this is.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, hello. I'm Tanni. Can you help me?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Everyone at CBeebies has been incredibly helpful.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Sid wrapped this.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Andy wrapped this, Cerrie wrapped this, and Alex wrapped this
0:07:22 > 0:07:26to make everything colourful for tonight's story.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30There's only one problem - I don't what anything is anymore
0:07:30 > 0:07:33cos everything is covered in wrapping paper!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37I need to find my tennis racket cos I have a match tomorrow.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It wasn't meant to be wrapped up.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Tom in tonight's story has been unwrapping things.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Shall we find out why?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49This story is by Shane McG and is called Anyone For Tennis?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Hi, I'm Tom Foley and I'm seven years of age.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I know this because yesterday was my birthday
0:07:57 > 0:08:00and I got lots of great presents. They're brilliant
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and do amazing stuff like beep and crash and whir.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07All except this one. It doesn't do anything.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Dad said it was a racket.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11You play tennis with it.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13He said it's a lot of fun.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I wasn't convinced.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18"Who plays tennis?" I asked Dad.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21My sister Ida doesn't play tennis.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23In fact she doesn't do anything
0:08:23 > 0:08:27except lie in her bedroom all day, talking to her friend Tanya
0:08:27 > 0:08:28about boys and shopping.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31How boring is that?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35"Dad, did you hear me? Who plays tennis?"
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Mum doesn't play tennis. All she wants to do is stand on one leg
0:08:39 > 0:08:41humming and doing a yoghurt.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43"I think you mean yoga," Dad said.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Whatever, it looks dumb.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So who plays tennis?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50My cat Smudgy doesn't play tennis.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52She spends her entire day eating.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54And passing wind!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56PARP! Phew! Smudgy!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00My best friend Kevin doesn't play tennis either.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04He spends all his time riding his lovely new green bike
0:09:04 > 0:09:06without giving me a turn, ever!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Actually, he's my sixth best friend.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12And my dog Spike definitely doesn't play tennis.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14He's way too busy chasing cars.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Poor Spike - he never catches them!
0:09:17 > 0:09:21My cuddly blue croc certainly doesn't play tennis. That would be crazy.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24He'd trip over the ball. TOY SQUEAKS
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I asked Dad one more time.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29"Who plays tennis?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31"Hello? Dad?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34"Where are we going?"
0:09:34 > 0:09:39I don't think he was listening. He was too busy hitting balls at me!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I had to duck for cover.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I thought about running away but I'm not a scaredy-cat.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48"Don't worry," said Dad. "When I hit the ball to you
0:09:48 > 0:09:52"you hit it back to me and I hit it back to you. OK?"
0:09:52 > 0:09:53OK.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57I took a really big swing at the ball and fell over.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01"You just need some practise," said Dad.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04And practise is just what I did.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07On the way home Dad asked me,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09"Who plays tennis, son?"
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I said, "That's easy-peasy, Dad.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14"Tom Foley plays tennis."
0:10:14 > 0:10:17My racket is pretty cool after all.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It doesn't beep or crash or whir
0:10:19 > 0:10:21but you CAN play tennis with it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Or electric guitar.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28That story was called Anyone For Tennis?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Well... Ah!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Here's my tennis racket!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm all ready for my match tomorrow.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Now all I need to find are the tennis balls
0:10:40 > 0:10:42then I can start practising.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, while I get looking, it's time for you to find your bed.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48See you soon for another story. Night-night.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Um, does that feel like a tennis ball? No.
