0:34:49 > 0:34:56.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Now, how many stars can I see from here?
0:35:12 > 0:35:18Oh, hello. I'm Derek. Can you see any stars?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21You can? How many?
0:35:21 > 0:35:22I love counting stars.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26When you see them shining high in the sky, next to the moon.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29It's great fun counting them.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33And tonight's bedtime story is all about stars,
0:35:33 > 0:35:35and a little boy who loves them.
0:35:35 > 0:35:43The story is by Oliver Jeffers, and it's called How To Catch A Star.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Once, there was a boy, and the boy loved stars very much.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Every night, the boy watched the stars from his window,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56and wished he had one of his very own.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59He dreamed how this star might be his friend.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04They would play hide-and-go-seek, and take long walks together...
0:36:04 > 0:36:07The boy decided he would try to catch a star.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10He thought getting up early would be best,
0:36:10 > 0:36:15because then the star would be tired from being up in the sky all night.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19So, the next day, he set out at sunrise.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22But he could not see a star anywhere.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24He sat down and waited for one to appear.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29He waited, and he waited...
0:36:29 > 0:36:31and ate lunch, and waited...
0:36:31 > 0:36:34and after dinner he waited some more.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Finally, just before the sun was about to go away,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40he saw a star.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43The boy tried to jump up and grab it,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45but he could not jump high enough.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47So, very carefully,
0:36:47 > 0:36:51he climbed to the top of the tallest tree he could find,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54but the star was still way out of reach.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57He thought he might lasso that star
0:36:57 > 0:36:59with a lifebelt from his father's boat,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02but it was much too heavy for him to carry.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06He thought he could fly up in his spaceship and grab the star,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10but his spaceship had run out of petrol last Tuesday
0:37:10 > 0:37:12when he flew to the moon.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Perhaps he could get a seagull to help him fly up into the sky
0:37:16 > 0:37:17to reach his star?
0:37:17 > 0:37:22But the only seagull he could find didn't want to help at all.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26The boy thought he would never catch a star.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Just then, he noticed something floating in the water.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35It was the prettiest star he had ever seen.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Just a baby star - it must have fallen from the sky.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41He tried to fish the star out with his hands,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43but he couldn't reach it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:49Then he had an idea. The star might wash up on the shore.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52He ran back along the jetty to the beach.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57Then, he waited, and walked... and watched...
0:37:57 > 0:38:01and waited...and sure enough,
0:38:01 > 0:38:05the star washed up on the bright golden sand.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10The boy had caught a star, a star of his very own.
0:38:10 > 0:38:16And that story was called How To Catch A Star.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20I wonder if you'll see a starfish, like the boy in tonight's story,
0:38:20 > 0:38:23when you go to the seaside next.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27And maybe you can see stars shining in the sky tonight.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30But it's time for you to go to bed now,
0:38:30 > 0:38:34and you can dream of seeing lots of stars.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I'll see you soon for another story.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Goodnight.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Now, how many stars can I find?
