One, two, three, four...

0:00:060:00:11

Oh, hello.

0:00:110:00:13

My name is Floella and I'm counting the twinkly stars in the night sky.

0:00:130:00:19

How many can you see? Quite a lot, aren't there?

0:00:190:00:23

I love seeing the twinkly stars and the big, bright,

0:00:230:00:26

shiny moon high up in the sky.

0:00:260:00:29

But in tonight's bedtime story,

0:00:290:00:32

there's a badger who's a little scared of the dark.

0:00:320:00:36

Let's find out how he learns all about the wonderful things

0:00:360:00:39

that happen in the night sky, so that he doesn't get too afraid.

0:00:390:00:44

The story is by Karen Saunders and Dubravka Kolanovic.

0:00:440:00:48

It's called Baby Badger's Wonderful Night.

0:00:480:00:53

At the end of the day, the sun slipped away behind the hills.

0:00:530:00:58

Papa Badger and Baby Badger watched as the light faded

0:00:580:01:03

and darkness crept towards them.

0:01:030:01:06

Baby Badger shivered and began to feel afraid.

0:01:060:01:11

"I don't like the night", Baby Badger whispered.

0:01:130:01:17

Papa Badger took him by the hand.

0:01:170:01:20

"There's no need to be frightened", he said, "The night is wonderful."

0:01:200:01:26

"Let me show you."

0:01:260:01:28

It was very dark inside the wood.

0:01:300:01:33

"It's too black and scary" Baby Badger said,

0:01:330:01:37

snuggling nearer to Papa Badger.

0:01:370:01:39

"Look more closely", said Papa Badger.

0:01:390:01:44

"There are many other colours too, like blue and purple and silver."

0:01:440:01:51

Baby Badger saw all the colours of the night and felt a bit better.

0:01:530:02:00

Up in the sky, tiny stars were sparkling.

0:02:010:02:07

"Why do they shine?" asked Baby Badger.

0:02:070:02:11

"They light up the night", said Papa Badger.

0:02:110:02:14

"And stop us feeling alone."

0:02:140:02:16

Baby Badger gazed at the stars, which twinkled back at him.

0:02:180:02:25

"What if I get lost in the dark?" asked Baby Badger.

0:02:250:02:31

"The North Star will always guide you back home",

0:02:310:02:37

said Papa Badger pointing to the brightest star of them all.

0:02:370:02:41

Baby Badger looked at the shining star and knew he was safe.

0:02:410:02:48

Suddenly, above their heads, a shooting star lit up the sky.

0:02:510:02:56

"Quickly, close your eyes and make a wish", said Papa Badger.

0:02:560:03:00

Baby Badger squeezed his eyes shut and wished very hard.

0:03:000:03:08

"Now do you see there's no need to be afraid?" said Papa Badger.

0:03:080:03:14

Baby Badger yawned and cuddled up next to him.

0:03:140:03:18

"The night is magical", he murmured.

0:03:190:03:23

"It's full of stars and colours and wishes."

0:03:230:03:30

Away in the distance,

0:03:300:03:32

the first ray of morning was spreading across the fields.

0:03:320:03:36

Next to Papa Badger, Baby Badger felt safe and warm.

0:03:360:03:41

Slowly his eyes closed.

0:03:410:03:46

"Come on, little one",

0:03:460:03:48

Papa Badger said softly, "It's time to go home."

0:03:480:03:52

He scooped Baby Badger into his arms

0:03:520:03:55

and carried him back through the woods to bed.

0:03:550:03:59

That story was called Baby Badger's Wonderful Night.

0:04:010:04:06

Baby Badger is just about waking up now

0:04:060:04:09

but it's time for you to close your eyes and go to sleep.

0:04:090:04:14

I'll see you soon for another story. Night night. Sweet dreams. Bye.
