0:29:50 > 0:29:57.
0:30:07 > 0:30:13Right, there now. That's everything packed ready to go tomorrow.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Just got to see where the...
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Oh, hello! I'm Sue.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19I'm getting ready to go on a holiday.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I packed my case with everything I need.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27All that's left to do is leave some food for the cats.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Actually, can you see the cats? I haven't seen them and I need
0:30:31 > 0:30:35to make sure they know where their dinner will be when I'm on holiday.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39I'll put it down there, I think. There we are.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Well, the cat in tonight's bedtime story
0:30:42 > 0:30:45always has to know where his dinner is.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47The story is by Inga Moore
0:30:47 > 0:30:52and it's called Six Dinner Sid - A Highland Adventure.
0:30:52 > 0:30:58Sid ate no fewer than six dinners a day.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02He wasn't called Six Dinner Sid for nothing.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06He lived with six sets of owners, in six houses -
0:31:06 > 0:31:11numbers one, two, three, four, five and six Pythagoras Place.
0:31:11 > 0:31:17Apart from eating his six dinners, there was nothing Sid liked more
0:31:17 > 0:31:21than going in and out of his six houses.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Most of them were fairly easy to get into.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Others were a lot trickier,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30requiring a good deal of skill and agility.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Sid's owners would watch in amazement as he leapt
0:31:34 > 0:31:38from one windowsill to another like a nimble mountain goat.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41As for climbing, Sid was a natural
0:31:41 > 0:31:45and he could always get himself out of a tight spot.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50Like most people, every year Sid's owners went on holiday.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53But one year there was a problem.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58For some reason or another everyone wanted to go at the same time.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01"Who will feed Sid?" they said.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05They couldn't send him to a cattery because at catteries
0:32:05 > 0:32:07having six dinners wasn't allowed.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12The people working there were very strict about that sort of thing.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15So, in the end, Sid's owners decided
0:32:15 > 0:32:18they would all go on holiday together,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21taking Sid with them.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26And when holiday time arrived, Sid was put into a travelling basket
0:32:26 > 0:32:29and taken to the station to catch the train.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Sid had no idea where he was going but he hoped it would be
0:32:33 > 0:32:37more or less like Pythagoras Place, which was funny
0:32:37 > 0:32:42because in one way it couldn't have been more like Pythagoras Place
0:32:42 > 0:32:45and in another, it couldn't have been less.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51Sid's owners had rented six wooden cabins in the Scottish Highlands.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Sid soon felt right at home.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Then he went into the forest to explore.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02He hadn't gone far when a voice in a tree said,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05"Halt! Who goes there?"
0:33:07 > 0:33:09"Sid!" said Sid.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12"Well, hello, Sid," said the voice.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17And down from the tree jumped the biggest tabby cat Sid had ever seen.
0:33:17 > 0:33:24"My name's Jock," he said, "and this is my forest."
0:33:24 > 0:33:29Jock, who was a Scottish wild cat, offered to show Sid round.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33As they went along, Sid told Jock about his six dinners.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Jock said in the forest
0:33:35 > 0:33:38you can have as many dinners a day as you liked.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43"Of course," he added, "you have to catch them first."
0:33:43 > 0:33:45He took Sid to a Highland stream.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50Swimming in the water was Sid's favourite food.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Fish.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Jock showed Sid how to flip one out with his paw,
0:33:55 > 0:33:59but instead of flipping the fish out of the water,
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Sid flipped himself right into it! Splash!
0:34:03 > 0:34:06So Jock took Sid down to the loch
0:34:06 > 0:34:10and there, lying asleep in the pool, was a lobster.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14"You'll catch that right enough," said Jock,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18but all Sid caught was a big nip.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22"Yeaow!" howled Sid.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26As if this wasn't bad enough, when Sid chased a rabbit
0:34:26 > 0:34:29and the rabbit ran down the hole, so did Sid,
0:34:29 > 0:34:31and he got stuck!
0:34:31 > 0:34:34How those rabbits laughed at Sid!
0:34:34 > 0:34:38"Och, well," said Jock, digging him out,
0:34:38 > 0:34:42"I suppose you are only a city cat."
0:34:42 > 0:34:47On top of a crag there was an eagle's nest.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Jock said his favourite food was eagle's eggs -
0:34:50 > 0:34:52at least he thought they were.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Actually he'd never dared to climb up and try one.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Sid couldn't think why. The nest looked no harder to get to
0:34:59 > 0:35:03than the skylight at number two Pythagoras Place.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09So Sid decided to show Jock what city cats were really made of.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13"Come on, Jock," he said, and led the way up the steep crag.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15They were almost at the top when...
0:35:15 > 0:35:20Oh, dear! The owner of the nest spotted them.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24The indignant mother eagle swooped down to defend her eggs.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Sid managed to hide, but Jock was not so lucky.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31"Help!" he cried, as the eagle grabbed him.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Sid took a swipe at the eagle.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Then... Did he slip?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Or did he jump? Sid never knew,
0:35:40 > 0:35:45but somehow he found himself on the eagle's back.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51The eagle dropped Jock and with Sid on board she flew up into the sky.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54She twisted and turned and looped the loop,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56trying to fling Sid off.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01Sid was in an extremely tight spot, but he'd been in tight spots before
0:36:01 > 0:36:06and he managed to keep a cool head. No matter how hard the eagle tried
0:36:06 > 0:36:10to fling him off, Sid hung on. He waited until the right moment,
0:36:10 > 0:36:15then when the eagle was closest to the ground, he jumped.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Sid knew exactly how to land, so he wasn't hurt.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22"Phew!" said Jock, "That was a near thing."
0:36:22 > 0:36:29"Well done, Sid, you city cats are not so bad after all."
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Jock saw Sid back to the cabins.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37"Goodbye, Sid," he said. "Enjoy your six dinners!"
0:36:37 > 0:36:40But with all that fishing and hunting
0:36:40 > 0:36:44and climbing and flying in the fresh Highland air,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Sid had worked up an appetite.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52He wasn't sure if six dinners were going to be enough tonight.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57It was just possible he would have to find himself a seventh.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Now, there was a likely looking camper van!
0:37:00 > 0:37:04That story was called
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Six Dinner Sid - A Highland Adventure.
0:37:08 > 0:37:15So, maybe I should take the cats on holiday with me.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Hmm, well...
0:37:18 > 0:37:23While I sort that out, it's time for you to go to bed
0:37:23 > 0:37:26and dream sweet dreams.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30I'll see you soon for another bedtime story. Goodnight.
