0:00:08 > 0:00:12Did you see that? Hello. I'm Stephen.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Do you like playing sports? You do?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Well, in tonight's bedtime story,
0:00:17 > 0:00:22Ogden the Ogre is trying to find the perfect sport to play.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26But it's not easy. Let me tell you all about him.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31The story is called The Yoga Ogre,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35and it's by Peter Bently and Simon Rickerty.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Ogden the Ogre was worried one night.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43His jim-jams had grown far too short and too tight.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46"How's my tum got so terribly wide?
0:00:46 > 0:00:52"I only eat 12 meals a day," Ogden sighed.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55The people said, "Jim-jams? Too tight and too short?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59"Overweight ogres should take up a sport!"
0:00:59 > 0:01:02So Ogden tried basketball.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04"Stop!" cried the people,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08as he slam-dunked the roof of the church and the steeple.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Then Ogden tried football.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13The people cried, "Stop!"
0:01:13 > 0:01:17as he flattened five lamp-posts, three cars, and a shop!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21People took shelter when Ogden tried hockey.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26And the horses all hid when he dressed as a jockey.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29He gave up on golf at the very first tee.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Swish, swoosh! Oops.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37There's now a huge hole where the course used to be.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42The people said, "Want to be slim as a wafer? Why not try yoga?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45"It's really much safer."
0:01:46 > 0:01:51"Yoga," thought Ogden. "You folks could be right.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54"I'll try the new class at the town hall tonight."
0:01:56 > 0:02:00"First," said the teacher, "lie down on the floor.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03"Now, twist your leg over..."
0:02:03 > 0:02:06CRASH went the door!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10"Let's stand on one leg, like a tree, straight and tall."
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Wobble, went Ogden.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17CRACK went the wall!
0:02:17 > 0:02:23"Being upside down is a really good feeling. Let's try a handstand."
0:02:23 > 0:02:26CRUNCH went the ceiling!
0:02:26 > 0:02:30"Enough is enough!" the people cried.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35"By 'eck! Our nerves are in shreds and the town hall's a wreck!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39"It's simply a menace when ogres play sport.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42"Please give up ball games of every sort.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45"And also," they said,
0:02:45 > 0:02:51"Will you please understand that yoga is totally, utterly, banned!"
0:02:52 > 0:02:56"I do understand," said the sorrowful ogre.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01"I'll stop playing sports and I'll stop doing yoga.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05"I'll have to find some other way to get thinner...
0:03:05 > 0:03:10"Perhaps I could only have ten pies for dinner."
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Next morning, the town was remarkably quiet.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19The people thought, "Great! Ogden's gone on a diet.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22"How peaceful it is with no ogre in sight.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27"How pleasant, how tranquil," they sighed in delight.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33But then came a thunderous thudding and thumping,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37a shuddering, juddering, stomping and bumping!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40The people thought, "Heavens!
0:03:40 > 0:03:45"Whatever's making that booming and banging, that shaking and quaking?"
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Was it an earthquake? They started to panic.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52A herd of mad elephants? Something volcanic?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56"Oh, no!" cried the people in terror and dread.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00"Ogden has taken up jogging instead!"
0:04:02 > 0:04:06And that story was called The Yoga Ogre.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Oh, all that talk of sport has made me rather sleepy.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Which reminds me, it's time for you to go to bed.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20So settle down, and I'll see you soon for another bedtime story.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Don't forget to brush your teeth.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Night night.
