0:06:28 > 0:06:33and is by Reeve Lindbergh and Anne Wilsdorf.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Homer was a quiet cat, quiet as a mouse.

0:06:37 > 0:06:42A quiet lady lived with him in a quiet house.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46The lady went away each day, Homer stayed at home.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50He sat beside the window, peaceful, all alone.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55He played with woollen feathers. They made no noise at all.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00When he heard a bird, he purred. Mice played with his ball.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04One morning, Homer heard a crash, a really awful din.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08And jumping from the window, he landed in the bin.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12The dustbins fell and banged and rolled and Homer ran away

0:07:12 > 0:07:18Where was the quiet lady? What a noisy day?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22The Post Office was just next door. Hope Homer went inside.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27But Hope and Noah sneezed so loud, that Homer had to hide.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Inside the fire station, he found a quiet place,

0:07:32 > 0:07:37just beneath the ladder - a cosy cat-sized space.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42Clang, clang! The fire bell rang. A fire! A fire in town!

0:07:42 > 0:07:47Five fit fireman rushed straight out, one quick cat jumped down.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Miaow!

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Homer ran and ran and ran down to the railway track.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57He found an empty goods van and jumped up in the back.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01A locomotive came along with engineer and crew.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06Just as Homer fell asleep, the whistle blew. Choo-choo!

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Homo ran back into town and through an open door,

0:08:10 > 0:08:15into a big bright building across a marble floor.

0:08:15 > 0:08:20He heard a friendly voice he knew, he saw a rocking chair.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25There was the quiet lady and children everywhere.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Homer! said the lady. What are you doing here?

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Homer jumped into her arms and purred into her ear.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39The boys and girls loved Homer and Homer loved them back.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44He slept right through the stories, but woke up for the snack.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Now Homer is a library cat, he goes there every day.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51What do the children think of that?

0:08:51 > 0:08:55"It's purr-fect," they all say.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I hope you enjoyed tonight's story,

0:08:58 > 0:09:00which was called Homer, The Library Cat.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04I'm glad that Homer found a favourite spot to snooze.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Talking about snoozing,

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I think we should all have a snooze, just like Homer.
