Aww, swimming and reading, that sounds perfect!

0:30:080:30:12

Oh, hello. I'm Tristan. My friend sent me a letter.

0:30:120:30:16

She's been on holiday and wanted to tell me everything.

0:30:160:30:19

It's nice to have friends to share things with.

0:30:190:30:22

Mole, in tonight's Bedtime Story, has lots of friends.

0:30:220:30:27

But there's something he really doesn't want to share.

0:30:270:30:31

A secret! Shall we find out what it is?

0:30:310:30:34

The story is by Jonathan Emmett and Vanessa Cabban.

0:30:340:30:38

And it's called A Secret Worth Sharing.

0:30:380:30:42

It was a beautiful summer day in the woodland.

0:30:430:30:46

The birds were singing, the bees were buzzing,

0:30:460:30:49

and the sun hung high in the sky like a bright golden coin.

0:30:490:30:54

"The perfect day to go exploring!" decided Mole,

0:30:550:31:00

and he set off to see what he could find.

0:31:000:31:03

Mole was not used to being above ground.

0:31:030:31:07

So, after a while, he had to stop for a rest.

0:31:070:31:10

"H-hot diggity!" he puffed,

0:31:100:31:12

sitting down against the side of a mossy stump.

0:31:120:31:16

"Bugs and beetles!" said a squeaky voice. "Whatever's that?"

0:31:160:31:21

Mole jumped up in surprise, and found a small, furry face

0:31:210:31:25

peering at him through a hole in the stump.

0:31:250:31:28

"H-hello," he said nervously.

0:31:300:31:33

"Uh, uh, I'm Mole. Who are you?"

0:31:330:31:35

"I'm Mouse," said the face,

0:31:350:31:39

and gave Mole the sweetest smile he had ever seen.

0:31:390:31:43

The stump was hollow, and Mouse had a nest inside it.

0:31:430:31:47

It was a very nice nest,

0:31:470:31:49

as Mole discovered when Mouse invited him in.

0:31:490:31:52

Mole decided that Mouse was very nice too.

0:31:520:31:56

And as he walked home that evening,

0:31:560:31:58

he felt pleased with himself for having made a new friend.

0:31:580:32:01

Mole had other friends, but they all knew each other.

0:32:010:32:06

Now, he had a friend all of his own.

0:32:060:32:09

"Mouse is my special friend," he told himself.

0:32:100:32:14

And he decided to keep Mouse a secret,

0:32:140:32:17

and not to tell anyone about her.

0:32:170:32:21

Mole had never had a secret before. It was exciting,

0:32:210:32:24

and he found it hard to think of anything else.

0:32:240:32:27

So, he visited Mouse again the next day.

0:32:270:32:30

And the day after.

0:32:300:32:33

And the day after that.

0:32:330:32:35

Mole spent so much time with Mouse

0:32:350:32:38

that he didn't have time for his other friends.

0:32:380:32:41

Squirrel, Hedgehog and Rabbit called round to see Mole,

0:32:410:32:44

but he was never in his burrow.

0:32:440:32:47

"Where is he?" wondered Squirrel.

0:32:470:32:49

"And what's he up to?" wondered Hedgehog.

0:32:490:32:53

"I hope he's all right," said Rabbit.

0:32:530:32:55

One morning, just as Mole was hurrying off for another

0:32:550:32:59

secret visit to Mouse, Rabbit, Hedgehog and Squirrel arrived.

0:32:590:33:04

"Hello, Mole!" said Rabbit. "We haven't seen much of you recently,

0:33:040:33:08

"so we thought we'd all pop round."

0:33:080:33:10

Mole was disappointed at first. He wanted to see Mouse,

0:33:100:33:16

but he couldn't tell his friends to go away.

0:33:160:33:19

But once they got talking, he found himself

0:33:190:33:21

enjoying their company as he always did.

0:33:210:33:24

"So, Mole," said Rabbit, eventually.

0:33:240:33:28

"What have you been up to?"

0:33:280:33:30

Mole suddenly felt very embarrassed.

0:33:300:33:34

"I-I-I don't know what you mean," he said. "I-I've only..."

0:33:340:33:39

But before he could finish, he was interrupted.

0:33:390:33:42

"Hello? Mole? "Are you down there?" called a voice from outside.

0:33:420:33:48

-HE GASPS

-It was Mouse!

0:33:480:33:50

"I thought I might come and visit you for a change," she explained.

0:33:500:33:54

Rabbit, Hedgehog and Squirrel were very surprised,

0:33:540:33:58

but delighted to meet her.

0:33:580:34:00

And Mouse soon made friends with all of them.

0:34:000:34:03

But Mole looked rather unhappy.

0:34:030:34:07

"What's wrong, Mole?" asked Rabbit.

0:34:070:34:11

"Uh, M-Mouse was my special friend," said Mole glumly.

0:34:110:34:15

"Now, I'll have to share her with everyone else."

0:34:150:34:18

"But Mole!" said Mouse, giving Mole a hug,

0:34:180:34:22

"I'm just as much your friend as ever!

0:34:220:34:25

"Only now, I'm Rabbit's and Squirrel's

0:34:250:34:28

"and Hedgehog's friend too."

0:34:280:34:30

"Friendship is a special thing," explained Rabbit.

0:34:300:34:34

"But one of the things that makes it special

0:34:340:34:37

"is that the more you share it, the more you have."

0:34:370:34:41

"I...didn't know that," said Mole.

0:34:410:34:44

"So you were keeping me a secret?" smiled Mouse.

0:34:440:34:49

Mole blushed.

0:34:490:34:51

"I...suppose I was," he admitted.

0:34:510:34:54

"But now I know better!"

0:34:540:34:56

"You're a secret worth sharing!" beamed Mole.

0:34:560:35:02

That story was called A Secret Worth Sharing.

0:35:030:35:06

Mouse WAS a secret worth sharing, wasn't she?

0:35:060:35:09

And Mole was very lucky to have such lovely friends.

0:35:090:35:14

I think I'll write a letter to my friend about Mole.

0:35:140:35:18

While I do, it's time for you to go to sleep.

0:35:180:35:22

I'll see you soon for another Bedtime Story.

0:35:220:35:25

Night-night, and sweet dreams.

0:35:250:35:28

Right. Now where shall I start?

0:35:280:35:32

I know. There was once a little mole...
