0:00:07 > 0:00:12Ah, hello, I'm Damian. I was just enjoying some peace and quiet.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Are you feeling peaceful and ready for a bedtime story?
0:00:18 > 0:00:24Oh, good, because tonight's story is called Peace At Last
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and is by Jill Murphy.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30The hour was late.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Mr Bear was tired, Mrs Bear was tired
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and Baby Bear was tired.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42So they all went to bed.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Mrs Bear fell asleep, Mr Bear didn't.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Mrs Bear began to snore.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56"Snore" went Mrs Bear.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02"Snore, snore, snore."
0:01:05 > 0:01:11"Oh, no," said Mr Bear, "I can't stand this."
0:01:12 > 0:01:16So he got up and went to sleep in Baby Bear's room.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Baby Bear was not asleep either.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23He was lying in bed pretending to be an aeroplane.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27"Nee-yow" went Baby Bear.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32"Nee-yow! Nee-yow!"
0:01:32 > 0:01:37"Oh, no," said Mr Bear, "I can't stand this."
0:01:37 > 0:01:41So he got up and went to sleep in the living room.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Tick-tock went the living room clock.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Tick-tock, tick-tock, cuckoo, cuckoo.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57"Oh, no," said Mr Bear, "I can't stand this."
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So he went off to sleep in the kitchen.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Drip...drip...
0:02:05 > 0:02:09went the leaky kitchen tap.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Hm-m-m-m-m-m,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16went the refrigerator.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22"Oh, no," said Mr Bear, "I can't stand this."
0:02:22 > 0:02:26So he got up and went to sleep in the garden.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Well, you would not believe
0:02:30 > 0:02:33what noises there are in the garden at night.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36"Twit-twoo," went the owl.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40"Snuffle, snuffle," went the hedgehog.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43"Meow," sang the cats on the wall.
0:02:43 > 0:02:50"Oh, no," said Mr Bear, "I can't stand this."
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So he went off to sleep in the car.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57It was cold in the car and uncomfortable.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02But Mr Bear was so tired that he didn't notice.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04He was just falling asleep
0:03:04 > 0:03:10when all the birds started to sing and the sun peeped in at the window.
0:03:10 > 0:03:17"Tweet-tweet," went the birds. Shine, shine, went the sun.
0:03:19 > 0:03:26"Oh, no," said Mr Bear. "I can't stand this."
0:03:26 > 0:03:29So he got up and went back into the house.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34In the house, Baby Bear was fast asleep
0:03:34 > 0:03:39and Mrs Bear had turned over and wasn't snoring any more.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45Mr Bear got into his bed and closed his eyes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51"Peace at last," he said to himself.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Br-r-r-r-r-r, went the alarm clock.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Br-r-r-r-r-r!
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Mrs Bear sat up and rubbed her eyes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06"Good morning, dear," she said. "Did you sleep well?"
0:04:06 > 0:04:11"Not very well, dear," yawned Mr Bear.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16"Never mind," said Mrs Bear, "I'll bring you a nice cup of tea."
0:04:16 > 0:04:17And she did.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25And that story was called Peace At Last. Poor old Mr Bear.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Didn't get much sleep at all, did he?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I hope you sleep peacefully tonight.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Get cosy and I'll see you soon for another bedtime story. Good night.
