0:42:50 > 0:42:57.
0:43:06 > 0:43:11Hello. I'm Sarah. I've got something to tell you.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14I know someone who was looking for love.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Would you like to hear all about him?
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Tonight's bedtime story is called Mole's In Love
0:43:20 > 0:43:23and it's by David Bedford and Rosalind Beardshaw.
0:43:25 > 0:43:26One bright day,
0:43:26 > 0:43:31Morris the Mole peeped out of his hole to find that it was spring.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33"Yippee!" said Morris.
0:43:33 > 0:43:38Then he hopped down from his hill and went off to find someone to love.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42Morris peered around the farmyard. Moles don't see very well.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46But Morris didn't think it would be hard to find someone to love
0:43:46 > 0:43:48because he knew just what to look for.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54Shiny, black fur! Luscious, shiny, black fur!
0:43:55 > 0:44:00Morris hugged the luscious, shiny, black fur. He was in love.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Morris blew his love a kiss. Mwah!
0:44:05 > 0:44:09But when the luscious, shiny, black fur blew him a kiss back,
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Morris was blown off his feet!
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Neigh!
0:44:13 > 0:44:16He landed in a pile of leaves,
0:44:16 > 0:44:20but nobody came to see if he was all right.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24"Ouch," Morris said to himself, feeling glum.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28Then Morris smelled the first new flowers of spring.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31"Yippee!" he said, and skipped out of the leaves
0:44:31 > 0:44:34and went off to find someone else to love.
0:44:35 > 0:44:41A pink nose! A pretty, pink nose! Morris hugged the pretty, pink nose.
0:44:41 > 0:44:46He was in love! Morris rubbed noses.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49But when the pretty, pink nose rubbed back,
0:44:49 > 0:44:56Morris was sent rolling away, cold and wet and slimy from head to toes.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58He landed in some mud,
0:44:58 > 0:45:01but nobody came to see if he was all right.
0:45:01 > 0:45:06"Ouch," Morris said to himself, feeling glum.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10Then he heard the happy twitter of birds singing about spring.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14"Yippee!" said Morris and he jumped out of the mud
0:45:14 > 0:45:18and went to find someone else to love.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22Big, wide feet! Gorgeous, big, wide feet!
0:45:22 > 0:45:27Morris hugged the gorgeous, big, wide feet. He was in love!
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Morris sat down in the meadow with his love,
0:45:30 > 0:45:33but when the gorgeous, big, wide feet sat down too...
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Morris was choked...and tickled by feathers.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42"Ah-choo!" he sneezed, tumbling backwards.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45This time, he landed on a sharp thistle,
0:45:45 > 0:45:48but nobody came to see if he was all right.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52"Ouch," Morris said to himself, feeling glummer than ever.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54"Ouch, ouch, ouch."
0:45:54 > 0:45:57And even though he knew it was still spring,
0:45:57 > 0:46:00he went back on sat on his molehill.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Morris said to himself... HE SNIFFS
0:46:03 > 0:46:07"It is spring, and I'm alone without love.
0:46:07 > 0:46:13"The shiny, black fur was too rough. The pretty, pink nose was too wet.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17"And gorgeous, big, wide feet made me sneeze.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20"I looked for love and I didn't find it."
0:46:20 > 0:46:23Suddenly, Morris heard a tiny voice.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27It said, "You have not looked hard enough!"
0:46:27 > 0:46:29And before he could blink,
0:46:29 > 0:46:33someone gave him a present, a present balanced on his nose
0:46:33 > 0:46:36and wrapped around his ears.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39And when Morris looked through his present,
0:46:39 > 0:46:47he saw very clearly luscious, shiny, black fur. A pretty, pink nose.
0:46:47 > 0:46:53Gorgeous, big, wide feet! And best of all, twinkly, smart spectacles!
0:46:53 > 0:46:58"I'm called Minnie," said the tiny voice, as Morris stared at her.
0:46:58 > 0:47:05"Are you all right?" she asked. And Morris said, "Yes, I am!"
0:47:05 > 0:47:07Morris hopped down from his hill,
0:47:07 > 0:47:10but he wasn't looking for love any more.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12Love had already found him.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20I hope you enjoyed that story, which was called Mole's In Love.
0:47:20 > 0:47:24Oh, I'm so glad Mole was given some spectacles
0:47:24 > 0:47:27so that he could find his love, aren't you?
0:47:27 > 0:47:29It's time for you to go to sleep now,
0:47:29 > 0:47:32and dream all about the people you love.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37And I'll see you soon for another bedtime story. Night-night.
