0:09:07 > 0:09:12This is a book of nursery rhymes and this is How Deep Is The Sea?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Oh, these books are in a right mess!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Oh, hello. I'm Shobna.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21I'm trying to put these books in order.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24They do seem to be in a bit of a muddle.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27And there's a bit of a muddle in tonight's Bedtime Story too.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31It's by David Conway and Melanie Williamson

0:09:31 > 0:09:35and it's called The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Little Miss Muffet was bored.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41She was bored of being in the same old nursery rhyme

0:09:41 > 0:09:45and she'd had quite enough of that scary little spider.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49"What I need," she told herself, "is a change."

0:09:49 > 0:09:52So off she went into the pages of a book

0:09:52 > 0:09:55to find another nursery rhyme to be in.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Along the way, she met the Grand Old Duke of York.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02"May I be in your rhyme?" asked Little Miss Muffet politely.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05"Of course," said the Duke. "Get in line!"

0:10:05 > 0:10:10# Ooh, the Grand Old Duke of York, he had ten thousand men,

0:10:10 > 0:10:12# He marched them up to the...

0:10:12 > 0:10:17# And Miss Muffet to the top of the hill and he marched them down again #

0:10:17 > 0:10:19"Oh no," complained Miss Muffet.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22"There's far too much marching for my liking."

0:10:22 > 0:10:25She toddled off into the pages of the book

0:10:25 > 0:10:28to find a better rhyme to be in.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Soon after, she saw Jack and Jill going up a hill.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35They were happy to let Miss Muffet try out their rhyme.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38# Jack and Jill and Miss Muffet went up the hill

0:10:38 > 0:10:39# To fetch a pail of water

0:10:39 > 0:10:42# Miss Muffet fell down and broke her crown

0:10:42 > 0:10:44# Jack and Jill came tumbling after. #

0:10:44 > 0:10:48"This nursery rhyme is much too painful," cried Miss Muffet,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51hobbling off to find a rhyme that didn't hurt so much.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56On the next page, Miss Muffet spotted a mouse by a grandfather clock.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58"May I be in your rhyme?" she asked.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03"Marvellous," said the mouse. "I'm tired of scurrying up that clock."

0:11:03 > 0:11:06# Hickory dickory dock, Miss Muffet climbed up the clock.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10# The clock struck one, Miss Muffet slid down, hickory dickory dock. #

0:11:10 > 0:11:13"I look ridiculous," said Little Miss Muffet,

0:11:13 > 0:11:17as her cheeks turned almost purple with embarrassment.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22And she sneaked off to find a rhyme that didn't make her look so silly.

0:11:22 > 0:11:28Further on, Little Miss Muffet met Johnny Flynn and Little Tommy Stout.

0:11:28 > 0:11:33The two boys giggled to each other as they let her try their rhyme.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37# Ding dong bell, Miss Muffet's in the well

0:11:37 > 0:11:40# Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn

0:11:40 > 0:11:44# Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. #

0:11:44 > 0:11:47A very wet Miss screamed

0:11:47 > 0:11:50and ran to the next page of the book as fast as she could

0:11:50 > 0:11:53to find a rhyme that had no naughty boys in it.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58It wasn't long before Little Miss Muffet ran into a dish and a spoon.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00"May I be in your rhyme?" she asked.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05"Yes, you can play the part of the dish," said the cow.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08# Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle

0:12:08 > 0:12:10# The cow jumped over the moon

0:12:10 > 0:12:12# The little dog laughed to see such fun

0:12:12 > 0:12:14# And Miss Muffet ran away with the spoon. #

0:12:14 > 0:12:18"Splendid," said the cow. But the dish wasn't happy

0:12:18 > 0:12:22and a terrible rumpus broke out all over the page.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26"I'll have you know that I've been running away with that spoon

0:12:26 > 0:12:29"ever since this rhyme was written!" screamed the dish.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32The rumpus spilled over into the next page.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36# Sing a-song a-sixpence, a pocket full of rye

0:12:36 > 0:12:39# Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie

0:12:39 > 0:12:42# When the pie was open, the birds began to sing

0:12:42 > 0:12:45# Oh, wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king. #

0:12:45 > 0:12:46And then the next!

0:12:46 > 0:12:50# The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, all on a summer's day

0:12:50 > 0:12:54# The Knave of Hearts, he stole the tarts and took them clean away. #

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Before you could say Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

0:12:58 > 0:13:01the whole book of rhymes was thrown into chaos.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04The Queen of Hearts wasn't making tarts any more

0:13:04 > 0:13:05but Incy Wincy Spider was.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Mary didn't have a little lamb. She was followed by three blind mice.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14It wasn't Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall, but Old Mother Hubbard.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18While all of this was going on, Little Miss Muffet, who by now

0:13:18 > 0:13:22had decided she no longer needed a change, tip-toed quietly back

0:13:22 > 0:13:26through the pages of the book and returned to her very own rhyme.

0:13:26 > 0:13:31But she soon remembered why she wanted to change in the first place.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34# Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet

0:13:34 > 0:13:36# Eating her curds and whey

0:13:36 > 0:13:39# Along came a spider who sat down beside her

0:13:39 > 0:13:42# And frightened Miss Muffet away. # "Ah!"

0:13:42 > 0:13:47Now, that story was called The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50What a muddle Miss Muffet made!

0:13:50 > 0:13:54Well, while I finish sorting out this muddle out on the bookshelves,

0:13:54 > 0:13:57it's time for you to go to sleep

0:13:57 > 0:14:01and I'll see you soon for another story. Night-night.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Now...

0:14:03 > 0:14:06let's get these stories back in order.
