CBeebies Bedtime Story.

0:00:030:00:05

Oh, at last. Five minutes' peace.

0:00:070:00:13

Oh, hello.

0:00:130:00:15

I'm Maxine.

0:00:160:00:18

I was just settling down

0:00:180:00:19

for five minutes' peace in the CBeebies house.

0:00:190:00:22

Mrs Large, in tonight's bedtime story,

0:00:220:00:25

is desperate for five minutes' peace,

0:00:250:00:28

but she isn't having much luck.

0:00:280:00:30

The story's called Five Minutes' Peace

0:00:300:00:33

and it's by Jill Murphy.

0:00:330:00:35

The children were having breakfast.

0:00:360:00:39

This was not a pleasant sight.

0:00:390:00:42

Mrs Large took a tray from the cupboard.

0:00:420:00:45

She set it with a teapot,

0:00:450:00:47

a milk jug,

0:00:470:00:49

her favourite cup and saucer,

0:00:490:00:51

a plate of marmalade toast

0:00:510:00:53

and a leftover cake from yesterday.

0:00:530:00:56

She stuffed the morning paper in her pocket

0:00:560:00:59

and sneaked off towards the door.

0:00:590:01:02

"Where are you going with that tray, Mum?" asked Laura.

0:01:020:01:05

"To the bathroom," said Mrs Large.

0:01:050:01:08

"Why?" asked the other two children.

0:01:080:01:12

"Because I want five minutes' peace from you lot,"

0:01:120:01:16

said Mrs Large, "that's why."

0:01:160:01:19

"Can we come?" asked Lester,

0:01:190:01:22

as they trailed up the stairs behind her.

0:01:220:01:25

"No," said Mrs Large, "you can't."

0:01:250:01:29

"What shall we do, then?" asked Laura.

0:01:290:01:32

"You can play," said Mrs Large,

0:01:320:01:35

"downstairs by yourselves and keep an eye on the baby."

0:01:350:01:40

"I'm not a baby," muttered the little one.

0:01:400:01:45

Mrs Large ran a deep, hot bath.

0:01:450:01:49

She emptied half a bottle of bath foam into the water,

0:01:490:01:52

plonked a bath hat on and got in.

0:01:520:01:56

She poured herself a cup of tea and lay back with her eyes closed.

0:01:560:02:02

SHE SIGHS

0:02:020:02:03

It was heaven.

0:02:030:02:05

"Can I play you my tune?" asked Lester.

0:02:050:02:09

Mrs Large opened one eye.

0:02:090:02:12

"Must you?" she asked.

0:02:120:02:15

"I've been practising," said Lester.

0:02:150:02:17

"You told me to. Can I, please?

0:02:170:02:20

"Just for one minute?"

0:02:200:02:23

"Go on, then," sighed Mrs Large.

0:02:230:02:26

So Lester played.

0:02:260:02:28

He played Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star three-and-a-half times.

0:02:280:02:34

In came Laura.

0:02:340:02:36

"Can I read you a page from my reading book?" she asked.

0:02:360:02:40

"No, Laura," said Mrs Large.

0:02:400:02:42

"Go on, all of you, off downstairs."

0:02:420:02:45

"You let Lester play his tune," said Laura. "I heard you.

0:02:450:02:50

"You like him better than me. It's not fair."

0:02:500:02:53

"Oh, don't be silly, Laura," said Mrs Large.

0:02:530:02:57

"Go on, then. Just one page."

0:02:570:03:01

So Laura read.

0:03:010:03:03

She read four-and-a-half pages of Little Red Riding Hood.

0:03:030:03:08

In came the little one with a trunk full of toys.

0:03:080:03:12

"For you," he beamed,

0:03:120:03:14

flinging them all into the bathwater.

0:03:140:03:16

"Thank you, dear," said Mrs Large, weakly.

0:03:160:03:20

"Can I see the cartoons in the paper?" asked Laura.

0:03:200:03:25

"Can I have the cake?" asked Lester.

0:03:250:03:28

"Can I get in with you?" asked the little one.

0:03:280:03:31

Mrs Large groaned.

0:03:310:03:35

In the end, they all got in.

0:03:350:03:37

WATER SPLASHES

0:03:370:03:39

The little one was in such a hurry

0:03:390:03:42

that he forgot to take off his pyjamas.

0:03:420:03:45

Mrs Large got out.

0:03:450:03:47

She dried herself, put on a dressing gown

0:03:470:03:50

and headed for the door.

0:03:500:03:51

"Where are you going now, Mum?" asked Laura.

0:03:510:03:55

"To the kitchen," said Mrs Large.

0:03:550:03:58

"Why?" asked Lester.

0:03:580:04:00

"Because I want five minutes' peace from you lot!" said Mrs Large.

0:04:000:04:06

"That's why!" And off she went downstairs...

0:04:060:04:10

..where she had three minutes and 45 seconds of peace,

0:04:110:04:15

before they all came to join her.

0:04:150:04:18

And that story was called Five Minutes' Peace.

0:04:180:04:22

Poor Mrs Large.

0:04:220:04:23

At least she had a little peace and quiet in the end.

0:04:230:04:26

Well, it's time for us to be very peaceful now, because it's bedtime.

0:04:260:04:32

So let's all go, "Ssh,"

0:04:320:04:35

and settle down for a good night's sleep.

0:04:350:04:38

Night-night.

0:04:380:04:40

And I'll see you soon for another bedtime story.
