So, you've got four paws - one, two, three, four...

0:10:060:10:10

And a furry grey coat.

0:10:100:10:13

Let's have a look in my book...

0:10:150:10:17

Oh, hello. I'm Anna.

0:10:180:10:20

Do you know what kind of animal this is?

0:10:200:10:23

I'm just trying to find out. Let's have a look...

0:10:230:10:26

Hmm, it's got four paws, two ears, a tail,

0:10:260:10:31

and a very pointy nose.

0:10:310:10:33

I can't quite find anything like it in my animal book.

0:10:330:10:37

Millicent, in tonight's bedtime story finds an unusual animal.

0:10:400:10:45

The story is by Richard Byrne and it's called Millicent And Meer.

0:10:450:10:50

One Saturday, Millicent was busy making sandcastles

0:10:500:10:54

in the garden when... BUMP!

0:10:540:10:56

..a big wooden box landed beside her.

0:10:560:11:00

"Ouch!" said the big wooden box.

0:11:000:11:02

Millicent peeped under the lid.

0:11:020:11:06

A dazed looking creature sat inside.

0:11:060:11:08

"Hello in there. Are you OK?" asked Millicent.

0:11:080:11:13

"Oh, I think so," replied the creature, rubbing its head.

0:11:140:11:19

"But I've got no idea who I am or how I got here."

0:11:190:11:22

Millicent giggled.

0:11:220:11:23

"You're funny. Perhaps I can help."

0:11:230:11:26

Millicent spotted a label on the big wooden box -

0:11:270:11:31

"Me-ee-ee-rr....

0:11:310:11:35

"kk-kat."

0:11:350:11:37

"Mystery solved," said Millicent.

0:11:380:11:41

"You're a cat and you're name is Meer. Yipee!

0:11:410:11:44

"I've always wanted a cat!

0:11:440:11:46

"You can be MY cat!" She took Meer indoors.

0:11:460:11:50

Millicent loved her new cat.

0:11:500:11:53

But he did do some very uncatty things.

0:11:530:11:58

And some very naughty things, too.

0:11:580:12:00

Millicent's dad got crosser and crosser.

0:12:000:12:03

"Right, that's it," he said.

0:12:030:12:05

"Meer will have to go outside until he can learn to behave

0:12:050:12:09

"like a proper cat!"

0:12:090:12:11

Millicent didn't like putting Meer outside

0:12:110:12:14

and Meer certainly didn't like being outside.

0:12:140:12:17

Poor Meer. He'd been sitting all alone for some time when...

0:12:170:12:22

a stray cat came strolling past.

0:12:220:12:24

"Hey, why the sad face?" he asked.

0:12:240:12:27

"I have to stay outside until I can learn to behave like a proper cat."

0:12:280:12:33

"Well, old chap. You don't look like much of a cat to me.

0:12:330:12:37

"But today's your lucky day!

0:12:370:12:39

"Marvin's the name and being a cat is my game. Just follow me."

0:12:390:12:43

Being a proper cat was a little tricky at first.

0:12:430:12:47

But Meer soon got the hang of it.

0:12:470:12:49

MARVIN PURRS Then...

0:12:490:12:51

Woof!

0:12:510:12:53

"Dog! Quick, run!" cried Marvin.

0:12:530:12:55

Meer wasn't sure what a dog was

0:12:550:12:57

but he was sure he didn't want to find out.

0:12:570:13:00

Marvin and Meer ran and ran until...

0:13:000:13:03

something caught Meer's eye.

0:13:030:13:06

"Come and see the meerkats at Steve's safari park."

0:13:070:13:12

"Nice move, Meer," said Marvin.

0:13:120:13:14

"We've lost him. Now that was clever.

0:13:140:13:17

"Even if you're NOT a cat."

0:13:170:13:19

"I'm not a cat?" replied Meer.

0:13:190:13:22

"No. Look!

0:13:230:13:25

"You're a meer-kat!"

0:13:250:13:27

Marvin and Meer showed Millicent what they had discovered.

0:13:290:13:33

"So Meer isn't a cat doing naughty things,

0:13:330:13:37

"he's just a meerkat doing meerkat things," said Millicent.

0:13:370:13:42

"That explains everything," said Dad.

0:13:420:13:45

"But it's not fair to keep Meer here.

0:13:460:13:49

"He belongs at the safari park with the rest of his family."

0:13:490:13:53

Later that day, a van arrived to take Meer back to his family.

0:13:530:13:57

Millicent and Marvin waved goodbye.

0:13:570:13:59

They were really going to miss Meer.

0:13:590:14:02

"Are you going home to your family, too, Marvin?" asked Millicent.

0:14:030:14:08

"I don't have a home.

0:14:080:14:10

"Or a family," sighed Marvin sadly.

0:14:100:14:14

"Yipee!" said Millicent.

0:14:150:14:16

"I've always wanted a cat. YOU can be MY cat!"

0:14:160:14:21

She took Marvin indoors.

0:14:210:14:23

Millicent and Marvin did lots of fun things together.

0:14:230:14:27

Millicent loved her new pet and Marvin loved his new home.

0:14:270:14:31

But best of all, every weekend, they went to the safari park

0:14:310:14:36

and did lots of meerkat things with Meer and his family.

0:14:360:14:40

And that story was called Millicent And Meer.

0:14:410:14:44

So that's what you are!

0:14:450:14:47

You're a meerkat.

0:14:470:14:48

I'm so glad I know now so we can plan lots of adventures together.

0:14:480:14:52

Just like Millicent, Marvin and Meer.

0:14:520:14:55

But now it's time for you to go to bed

0:14:560:14:59

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

0:14:590:15:03

Now, then, let's have a drink of juice

0:15:030:15:06

while I work out what we can do tomorrow...

0:15:060:15:09

Mmm!
