0:13:02 > 0:13:05CBeebies Bedtime Story.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'm not telling you how the story ends.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Hello, I'm Alex.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I was just playing with the animals.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Do you know what noise a tiger makes?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21"Grrr!"
0:13:21 > 0:13:23That's right!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26What about a crocodile?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28"Snip! Snap!"
0:13:30 > 0:13:34There are lots of noisy animals in tonight's story.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39The story is called Crocodiles Need Kisses Too.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43By Carrie Weston and Russell Julian.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Under the moon, on a riverbank, lay a nest full of eggs.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55One egg began to wobble and roll and shake.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Until...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58"CRACK!"
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Two beady eyes went...
0:14:01 > 0:14:02blink!
0:14:02 > 0:14:05One long snout went...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07"SNAP!"
0:14:07 > 0:14:09And lots of sharp, pointy teeth went...
0:14:09 > 0:14:10"SNIP!"
0:14:10 > 0:14:17There on the sand was a snipodile, snapodile, tiny little crocodile.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21The little crocodile looked left.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22"SNIP!"
0:14:22 > 0:14:26The little crocodile looked right.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27"SNAP!"
0:14:27 > 0:14:30He looked and looked and looked.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34But he was alone on the riverbank.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40The little crocodile snipped and snapped all by himself.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43The moon disappeared, the sun came up,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47the little crocodile warmed himself alone on the sand.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51But before long he heard a cheeping and a chirping.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55The little crocodile's heart fluttered. A friend at last!
0:14:55 > 0:14:56He peeped over a rock
0:14:56 > 0:15:00and saw a mummy sparrow feeding her hungry babies.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03The little crocodile was hungry too.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07He slithered softly over the sand,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11he opened his mouth wide and...
0:15:11 > 0:15:13waited his turn to be fed.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17"CHEEP! CHEEP!" squeaked the baby sparrows in alarm.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20"SQUAWK! SQUAWK!" screeched their mother.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24"It's a snipodile, snapodile, very scary crocodile!"
0:15:24 > 0:15:26they all shrieked together.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29And they flew away as fast as they could.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32The little crocodile was alone once more.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38After a while, the little crocodile noticed a rumbling in the bushes.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42A gang of buffalo came down to the river for a drink.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46The baby buffalo danced and pranced in the shallow water.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50"Here's my chance!" thought the little crocodile.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54He scurried over the sand towards the baby buffalo and...
0:15:54 > 0:15:59leapt into the clear, cool water to join the fun.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02"EEK! EEK!" squeaked the baby buffalo.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05"RRMPH! RRMPH!" huffed the big buffalo.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10"It's a snipodile, snapodile, very scary crocodile!"
0:16:10 > 0:16:12they all stamped together.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15And they thundered away as fast as they could.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20The little crocodile was all alone again.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23The little crocodile felt sad.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28"I would like a mummy to feed me," he sighed.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33"I would like to splish and splash in the water with my family,"
0:16:33 > 0:16:34he sniffed.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40"I would like a mummy to give me cuddles and kisses," he cried.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45A big tear welled up in his beady little eye.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49It rolled down his long snout.
0:16:49 > 0:16:56He opened his mouth wide and was just about to let out a lonely wail,
0:16:56 > 0:17:01when he heard a soft, gentle purring.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08A mummy tiger was washing her little cub. She licked his face, "Slurp!"
0:17:08 > 0:17:13and his ears, "Slurp!" and even under his chin.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19She kissed the little cub all over, until he purred and purred.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21"PURRRRRR!"
0:17:23 > 0:17:27"Ooh, that looks nice!" thought the little crocodile.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So he hurried across the sand,
0:17:30 > 0:17:36crept up next to the tiger cub and...lifted his chin for a kiss.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39"MEOW! MEOW!" yelped the cub.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44"It's a snipodile, snapodile, very scary crocodile!"
0:17:44 > 0:17:50"GRRR! ROARGH!" roared the mummy tiger.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Two fierce eyes, lots of big sharp teeth.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58"YIKES!" yelled the terrified little crocodile,
0:17:58 > 0:18:03running away as fast as he could. He ran and ran, until suddenly...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06two beady eyes went blink.
0:18:06 > 0:18:13One long snout went snap. Lots of sharp pointy teeth went snip.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20It was a snipodile, snapodile, great BIG crocodile!
0:18:20 > 0:18:25The great big crocodile opened her great wide mouth,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28crept closer and...
0:18:28 > 0:18:35gave her baby a lovely, snuggly, crocodile kiss.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41"There, there," she said. "You are an early one!"
0:18:41 > 0:18:45The little crocodile glowed with happiness
0:18:45 > 0:18:47as he snuggled close to his mummy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Together they warmed themselves on the sand.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Very soon there was a wobbling and a rolling and a shaking,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58until finally..."CRACK!"
0:18:58 > 0:19:04Lots of beady eyes went blink. Lots of long snouts went "SNAP!"
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Hundreds of sharp, pointy teeth went "SNIP!"
0:19:07 > 0:19:14The riverbank was full of snipodile, snapodile, tiny little crocodiles.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Mummy crocodile gave each one of her babies
0:19:17 > 0:19:21a lovely, snuggly, crocodile kiss.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27"After all," she smiled, "crocodiles need kisses too."
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I'm so glad crocodile found his mummy.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Well...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41It's time for you to brush all those teeth.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Have you brushed your teeth?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Good. Then you are ready for bed.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Night-night. Sweet dreams.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55(Got to brush those teeth.)
