I'm sorry, but you're going to have to sit on the step for a while. | 1:00:06 | 1:00:11 | |
Hi. I'm Matthew. | 1:00:11 | 1:00:14 | |
Buttons has been silly and needs to spend some time on the naughty step. | 1:00:14 | 1:00:20 | |
I caught him unravelling all this wool, which has made a mess. | 1:00:20 | 1:00:24 | |
All right, Buttons. I'll keep you company while I tell everyone about | 1:00:26 | 1:00:31 | |
Sam and his time on the naughty step. | 1:00:31 | 1:00:33 | |
This story is by Mark Sperring and Tom McLaughlin, | 1:00:35 | 1:00:40 | |
and it's called Father Christmas On The Naughty Step. | 1:00:40 | 1:00:43 | |
Today was Christmas Eve, | 1:00:44 | 1:00:47 | |
and Sam could have been doing any number of lovely things. | 1:00:47 | 1:00:51 | |
He could have been making something yummy with his big sister, Nelly. | 1:00:51 | 1:00:56 | |
Or helping Rover with a last minute letter to Santa. | 1:00:56 | 1:01:00 | |
Or just daydreaming with Dad about all the wonderful Christmassy | 1:01:00 | 1:01:04 | |
things to come. | 1:01:04 | 1:01:06 | |
But Sam wasn't doing any of those lovely things. | 1:01:08 | 1:01:12 | |
Sam was sitting by himself on the naughty step. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:18 | |
Until the naughty step gave a familiar creak. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:23 | |
And, shiver me timbers, | 1:01:24 | 1:01:26 | |
down sat someone who'd sat there a zillion times before. | 1:01:26 | 1:01:31 | |
"Have you been naughty again?" sighed Sam. | 1:01:33 | 1:01:38 | |
Captain Buckleboots gave a woeful nod. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:41 | |
"Oh, Sam," he said, "I told the most terrible lie." | 1:01:41 | 1:01:45 | |
Then he held up a letter for Sam to see. | 1:01:46 | 1:01:50 | |
"Oh, dear," said Sam. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:08 | |
"I can't imagine anything naughtier." | 1:02:08 | 1:02:12 | |
But just then, high above their heads, | 1:02:12 | 1:02:16 | |
came the jingle-jangle of bells and a flurry of snow. | 1:02:16 | 1:02:19 | |
And, shiver me tinsels, down sat Father Christmas! | 1:02:21 | 1:02:26 | |
"Santa!" gasped Sam. "It's Christmas Eve! | 1:02:28 | 1:02:31 | |
"Shouldn't you be getting ready to deliver lots of lovely presents?" | 1:02:31 | 1:02:36 | |
Father Christmas gave a shameful sigh | 1:02:36 | 1:02:39 | |
and shuffled nervously on the step. | 1:02:39 | 1:02:41 | |
"Yes," he said, "But I've been bad when I should have been good." | 1:02:43 | 1:02:50 | |
Then they saw it. Dear, oh, dear. | 1:02:50 | 1:02:55 | |
Santa's name right at the top of the naughty list. | 1:02:56 | 1:03:02 | |
"It all began this morning," explained Santa, | 1:03:05 | 1:03:09 | |
"I took something that clearly did not belong to me. | 1:03:09 | 1:03:13 | |
"And even though I knew I shouldn't, | 1:03:14 | 1:03:17 | |
"well, I did. | 1:03:17 | 1:03:21 | |
Stop! cried that elves as I hurtled out of the workshop. Stop! | 1:03:21 | 1:03:26 | |
"neighed the reindeer as I sped downhill. | 1:03:26 | 1:03:29 | |
"But blistering baubles, I couldn't stop! | 1:03:29 | 1:03:32 | |
"Crash! | 1:03:32 | 1:03:34 | |
"Bang! Wallop! | 1:03:34 | 1:03:35 | |
"And suddenly, everything was everywhere. | 1:03:36 | 1:03:40 | |
"To make matters worse, I started to laugh. | 1:03:42 | 1:03:45 | |
"But ho-ho-hum, not everyone found it quite so funny. | 1:03:48 | 1:03:53 | |
"Now," sighed Santa, "All I really want for Christmas | 1:03:55 | 1:04:00 | |
"is to be forgiven, but I don't know how." | 1:04:00 | 1:04:03 | |
For a moment, a sorrowful hush fell over the naughty step. | 1:04:05 | 1:04:10 | |
Then Sam had a wonderful idea. | 1:04:12 | 1:04:15 | |
"If you really want to be forgiven," | 1:04:17 | 1:04:19 | |
said Sam, "You'll have to show you're really sorry. | 1:04:19 | 1:04:24 | |
"First, you'll need to pick up all the presents for the reindeer. | 1:04:24 | 1:04:28 | |
"Then you'll have two help the elves reload the sleigh, | 1:04:28 | 1:04:32 | |
"and the last but not least, | 1:04:32 | 1:04:34 | |
"you must promise never to do it again." | 1:04:34 | 1:04:40 | |
"Shivering snowflakes!" said Father Christmas. | 1:04:40 | 1:04:44 | |
"That's exactly what I'll do." | 1:04:44 | 1:04:47 | |
Just then, Sam's mum called up from the kitchen. | 1:04:47 | 1:04:51 | |
"You can get off the naughty step now." | 1:04:51 | 1:04:54 | |
And off they all went to say a heartfelt | 1:04:56 | 1:05:00 | |
and very seasonal sorry. | 1:05:00 | 1:05:02 | |
"Sorry, me hearties," said Captain Buckleboots. | 1:05:04 | 1:05:08 | |
"Sorry," said Sam, oh-so-sweetly. | 1:05:10 | 1:05:13 | |
And the next morning, not only did Sam find lots of presents | 1:05:17 | 1:05:21 | |
under the tree, but also, a most surprising apology. | 1:05:21 | 1:05:27 | |
"To Sam, I'm sorry I took your | 1:05:30 | 1:05:32 | |
"new train before you'd even had a chance to play with it. | 1:05:32 | 1:05:36 | |
"Next time, I promise to ask first. | 1:05:36 | 1:05:39 | |
"Have a Merry Christmas and be good. | 1:05:39 | 1:05:42 | |
"Love, Santa." | 1:05:42 | 1:05:44 | |
So, despite Christmas getting off to a bit of a bad start, | 1:05:46 | 1:05:50 | |
in the end a very happy Christmas was had by all. | 1:05:50 | 1:05:56 | |
That story was called Father Christmas On The Naughty Step. | 1:05:57 | 1:06:02 | |
Buttons enjoyed that story | 1:06:02 | 1:06:04 | |
and is sorry about making a mess with the wool. | 1:06:04 | 1:06:07 | |
After all, he was only playing. | 1:06:07 | 1:06:09 | |
But playtime is over today. | 1:06:11 | 1:06:13 | |
And it's time for Buttons and for you to go to bed. | 1:06:13 | 1:06:18 | |
I'll see you again soon for another bedtime story. Good night. | 1:06:19 | 1:06:24 | |
