0:46:09 > 0:46:10Hello.
0:46:11 > 0:46:12KNOCKING
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Hello!
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Grr! I've forgotten my front door keys.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20Hello. My name's Peter.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23The story I'm reading tonight is one of my favourites.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26It's called, A Squash and a Squeeze.
0:46:26 > 0:46:31It's by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35A little old lady lived all by herself with a table
0:46:35 > 0:46:38and chairs and a jug on the shelf.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41A wise old man heard her grumble and grouse.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44"There's not enough room in my house!
0:46:44 > 0:46:48"Wise old man, won't you help me, please?
0:46:48 > 0:46:52"My house is a squash and a squeeze."
0:46:52 > 0:46:56"Take in your hen," said the wise old man.
0:46:56 > 0:47:02"Take in my hen? What a curious plan."
0:47:02 > 0:47:05Well, the hen laid an egg on the fireside rug
0:47:05 > 0:47:08and flapped round the room knocking over the jug.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10The little old lady cried,
0:47:10 > 0:47:14"What should I do? It was pokey for one and it's tiny for two.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18"My nose has a tickle and there's no room to sneeze.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22"My house is a squash and a squeeze."
0:47:22 > 0:47:26"Take in your goat," said the wise old man.
0:47:27 > 0:47:32"Take in my goat? What a curious plan."
0:47:32 > 0:47:36Well, the goat chewed the curtain and trod on the egg,
0:47:36 > 0:47:39then sat down to nibble the table leg.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41The little old lady cried,
0:47:41 > 0:47:46"Glory be! It was tiny for two, and it's titchy for three.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49"The hen pecks the goat and the goat's got fleas.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53"My house is a squash and a squeeze."
0:47:53 > 0:47:54And she said,
0:47:54 > 0:47:57"Wise old man, won't you help me, please.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01"My house is a squash and a squeeze."
0:48:01 > 0:48:05"Take in your pig", said the wise old man.
0:48:05 > 0:48:10"Take in my pig? What a curious plan!"
0:48:10 > 0:48:13So, she took in her pig who kept chasing the hen
0:48:13 > 0:48:17and raiding the larder again and again.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19The little old lady cried,
0:48:19 > 0:48:20"Stop, I implore.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24"It was titchy for three and it's teeny for four.
0:48:24 > 0:48:30"Even the pig and the larder agrees, my house is a squash and a squeeze.
0:48:30 > 0:48:35"Wise old man, won't you help me, please!
0:48:35 > 0:48:38"My house is a squash and a squeeze."
0:48:39 > 0:48:44"Take in your cow," said the wise old man.
0:48:44 > 0:48:49"Take in my cow? What a curious plan!"
0:48:49 > 0:48:53Well, the cow took one look and charged straight at the pig,
0:48:53 > 0:48:57then jumped on the table and tapped out a jig.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59The little old lady cried,
0:48:59 > 0:49:04"Heavens alive! It was teeny for four and it's weenie for five.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08"I'm tearing my hair out, I'm down on my knees.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12"My house is a squash and a squeeze."
0:49:12 > 0:49:14And she said,
0:49:14 > 0:49:17"Wise old man, won't you help me, please?
0:49:17 > 0:49:22"My house is a squash and a squeeze."
0:49:23 > 0:49:25"Take them all out",
0:49:25 > 0:49:28said the wise old man.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31"But then I'll be back where I first began!"
0:49:32 > 0:49:36So, she opened the window and out flew the hen.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39"That's better. At last I can sneeze again".
0:49:39 > 0:49:43She shooed out the goat and she shoved out the pig.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46"My house is beginning to feel pretty big!"
0:49:46 > 0:49:51She huffed and she puffed and she pushed out the cow.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55"Just look at my house, it's enormous now!"
0:49:55 > 0:49:58"Thank you, old man, for the work you have done.
0:49:58 > 0:50:03"It was weenie for five. It's gigantic for one.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06"There's no need to grumble and there's no need to grouse,
0:50:06 > 0:50:10"there's plenty of room in my house."
0:50:10 > 0:50:14And now she's full of frolics and fiddledeedees.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16It isn't a squash and it isn't a squeeze.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22Yes, she's full of frolics and fiddledeedees.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25It isn't a squash or a squeeze.
0:50:25 > 0:50:26MOO!
0:50:26 > 0:50:31And that bedtime story was called, A Squash and a Squeeze.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35Now, grab your favourite teddy and give it a squash and a squeeze
0:50:35 > 0:50:38because it's time for you to go to bed.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40It's time for me to go to bed too.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43How am I going to get into my house?
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Hm. I know! I'll try the back door. Sleep tight.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49I'll see you again soon.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51GRUNTS
0:50:52 > 0:50:57Oh! Oh, good. It's open. Night-night.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Ahh!
