Right, bolt goes in there. Screw that, then hammer...

0:05:060:05:10

Ow!

0:05:100:05:11

Oh, hello. I'm Shane. I'm just working on my latest invention.

0:05:110:05:15

I've always wanted to be an inventor,

0:05:150:05:18

but I've never found the perfect thing to invent.

0:05:180:05:21

I tried teacups that stirred themselves,

0:05:210:05:24

but they spilled the tea.

0:05:240:05:26

Toothpaste that squeezed itself...

0:05:260:05:28

It went all over the bathroom.

0:05:280:05:30

I made a machine to help me get dressed,

0:05:300:05:33

but I got socks on my hands and gloves on my feet.

0:05:330:05:36

I still need to make the perfect invention.

0:05:360:05:39

There are amazing inventions in tonight's story.

0:05:390:05:43

They might give me ideas!

0:05:430:05:44

The story's by Richard Johnson.

0:05:440:05:47

It's called My Grandpa's Amazing Inventions.

0:05:470:05:50

This is me with my grandpa.

0:05:500:05:52

My grandpa is very old and very clever.

0:05:520:05:56

At the bottom of the garden, in his dark, dusty workshop,

0:05:560:06:00

he makes the most marvellous things. My grandpa is an inventor.

0:06:000:06:04

One day a letter arrived for Grandpa.

0:06:040:06:07

This is what it said.

0:06:070:06:08

"Dear Sir,

0:06:080:06:10

"You are invited to take part

0:06:100:06:11

"in The World's Latest And Greatest Invention Contest

0:06:110:06:16

"(Grandpa category).

0:06:160:06:17

"Use your imagination.

0:06:170:06:19

"Build something amazing to win the first-prize trophy."

0:06:190:06:22

Grandpa scratched his head.

0:06:220:06:25

"What shall I build?" he wondered. Grandma had an idea.

0:06:250:06:28

"How about an amazing speaker-zoo-a-phone gizmo

0:06:280:06:32

"that lets us talk with the animals?

0:06:320:06:35

"Oh, imagine chatting with a giraffe! What would you ask it?"

0:06:350:06:39

"Well, that's been done before," said Grandpa. "What else?"

0:06:390:06:44

"I know! Build a fabulous deep-sea tentaclon," I suggested.

0:06:440:06:48

"We could dive to the bottom of the ocean, gather treasure

0:06:480:06:52

"and live down there as rulers of the ocean."

0:06:520:06:55

"Imagine a red double-decker space-bus," Grandpa said dreamily.

0:06:550:07:00

"We could catch it at the end of the road

0:07:000:07:03

"and take a daytrip across the galaxy. Picnic on the moon, anyone?

0:07:030:07:07

"The views aren't bad!"

0:07:070:07:09

"Yeah, Grandpa! Or...

0:07:090:07:11

"you could make a super-bouncy heated balloon-a-suit," I said.

0:07:110:07:16

"We could bounce around the park

0:07:160:07:18

"and never hurt ourselves or get cold."

0:07:180:07:21

"Or you could build a multi-action digger to help me in the garden,"

0:07:210:07:26

Grandma suggested.

0:07:260:07:28

"I could burrow deep underground and spy on the neighbours' turnips.

0:07:280:07:33

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

0:07:330:07:34

"Or what about making a magnificent magnifying machine

0:07:340:07:38

"that can make things ten times bigger?" I said.

0:07:380:07:41

"You'd have to be careful where you pointed it," murmured Grandpa.

0:07:410:07:46

"I could build fabulously-feathered mechanical flip-flappers,"

0:07:460:07:50

Grandpa said, waving his arms about.

0:07:500:07:53

"We could fly with the birds, over the tallest towers, into the clouds.

0:07:530:07:58

"Up and away! Ha-ha!"

0:07:580:08:00

It was getting late, when suddenly Grandpa shouted,

0:08:000:08:03

"Oh! I know exactly what I'll build!"

0:08:030:08:08

He rushed down the garden path to his workshop,

0:08:080:08:11

where he stayed all night, hammering, banging and crashing.

0:08:110:08:15

It was so noisy!

0:08:150:08:17

The next morning,

0:08:170:08:19

a tired Grandpa emerged from his workshop with a big grin.

0:08:190:08:23

His mysterious machine was hidden under a large blanket.

0:08:230:08:26

We begged him to tell us what he made, but he wouldn't.

0:08:260:08:30

"It's a secret," he winked. "Wait and see."

0:08:300:08:33

It was the day of the competition.

0:08:330:08:36

While Grandpa made last-minute adjustments,

0:08:360:08:39

I decided to explore.

0:08:390:08:41

I saw a gizmo called a fancy-pant-washing wonderbot,

0:08:410:08:45

a gadget called the super-duper self-soaping copter bath

0:08:450:08:49

and all sorts of amazing things.

0:08:490:08:51

Then it was Grandpa's turn.

0:08:510:08:53

Everyone fell silent,

0:08:530:08:55

as they waited for him to reveal his amazing invention.

0:08:550:08:59

"Ladies and Gentlemen. A-hem!" announced Grandpa.

0:08:590:09:03

"I would like to present my incredible

0:09:030:09:06

"story-telling-showing-and-smelling marvellous magic machine!"

0:09:060:09:12

He whisked away the blanket and flicked the switch.

0:09:120:09:15

The machine whirred into action. The crowd were enthralled,

0:09:150:09:19

as the machine told wonderful tales with pictures and sound effects...

0:09:190:09:24

and even smells!

0:09:240:09:26

Everyone clapped and cheered. "Hooray!"

0:09:260:09:30

They all agreed Grandpa's invention should win the first-prize trophy.

0:09:300:09:35

Later that evening, it was finally my turn to try the story machine,

0:09:350:09:39

but when Grandpa switched it on,

0:09:390:09:42

all that came out was a puff of smoke.

0:09:420:09:45

"Crrrk! Pop! Phee-phoo! Swrzzz! Once... Brrr! Once upon a pigeon...

0:09:450:09:49

"Thr... Thr... Three bananas! Wrrrzzz! Badda-badda che...

0:09:490:09:54

"Cooka... Fish-fish-fishfingers. Brr-wrr! The end."

0:09:540:09:57

The amazing invention was broken.

0:09:570:10:00

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, dear!" said Grandpa, chuckling.

0:10:000:10:05

"Never mind. I think I'd better tell you a bedtime story of my own."

0:10:050:10:09

Grandpa invented a wonderful story about a girl

0:10:090:10:13

who owned fabulously-feathered mechanical flip-flappers

0:10:130:10:17

and flew around the world, having magical adventures.

0:10:170:10:21

"Who needs a story-telling machine?" I thought drowsily, my eyes closing.

0:10:210:10:26

"I've got a wonder-marvellous,

0:10:260:10:28

"create-a-tastic, crinkle-wrinkle, magic-making Grandpapa! Ha-ha!"

0:10:280:10:34

And that story was called My Grandpa's Amazing Inventions.

0:10:350:10:39

I won't make a story-telling-showing-and-smelling

0:10:390:10:42

marvellous magic machine.

0:10:420:10:44

Instead, I'll come back soon and tell you another story.

0:10:440:10:47

Night-night. Sweet dreams. See you soon.

0:10:470:10:50

Right, let's see about making this amazing speaker-zoo-a-phone.
