CBeebies Bedtime Story...

0:16:020:16:05

Oh, hello. I'm Robert.

0:16:070:16:09

What did you have to eat tonight?

0:16:090:16:11

Eww! I'm joking, that sounds delicious.

0:16:110:16:14

Simon the squirrel in tonight's story is about to have pizza for

0:16:140:16:18

his tea, and there's one important ingredient that he mustn't forget.

0:16:180:16:23

Cheese! Shall we find out if he remembers it?

0:16:230:16:26

This story is called The Great Balloon Hullabaloo

0:16:260:16:29

and it's by Peter Bently and Mei Matsuoka.

0:16:290:16:32

Simon the squirrel was off to play ball,

0:16:320:16:35

but there stood his mum with a list in the hall.

0:16:350:16:38

"Please pop to the shops, Simon dearest.

0:16:380:16:40

"Here's money for loo roll, pants for yourself, bread and honey.

0:16:400:16:44

"One thing that's much more important than these -

0:16:440:16:47

"tonight we've got pizza, so don't forget cheese."

0:16:470:16:51

So, off trotted Simon with Rodney Raccoon.

0:16:510:16:53

Suddenly, Simon said, "Look, it's the moon!

0:16:530:16:56

"Everybody knows it's made out of cheese.

0:16:560:16:59

"If we jump we can take just as much as we please."

0:16:590:17:02

They ran to the lake in a mad, gleeful dash,

0:17:020:17:05

leapt from a tree trunk and landed - kersplash!

0:17:050:17:08

"You pair are daft noodles! The moon's in the sky,"

0:17:080:17:11

laughed Bethany Bear, who stood watching nearby.

0:17:110:17:14

"No problem," said Simon, "We'll fly to the moon

0:17:140:17:17

"in old Uncle Somerset's special balloon."

0:17:170:17:20

"You're all very welcome to go for a ride," said old Uncle Somerset,

0:17:200:17:24

"Clamber inside, grab a nice cushion, there's plenty to try."

0:17:240:17:28

Then he untied the rope and they rose in the sky.

0:17:280:17:31

They shot into space with spectacular force

0:17:310:17:34

until a great comet... WHOOSH!

0:17:340:17:36

..blew them off course.

0:17:360:17:38

"You've gone the wrong way!" Said a cow with a frown.

0:17:380:17:41

She'd just jumped the moon and was on her way down.

0:17:410:17:45

COW MOOS

0:17:450:17:47

"Oh, well!" Simon said, as they sped through the stars,

0:17:470:17:50

"It looks like we'll have to go shopping on Mars!"

0:17:500:17:53

They landed on Mars and bought honey and bread

0:17:530:17:56

from a little green man with three eyes in each head.

0:17:560:18:01

Bethany called to her friends, "Look at me!

0:18:010:18:03

"There's a wonderful view from this funny old tree!

0:18:030:18:07

"But why is it covered in hairy pink moss?"

0:18:070:18:09

"Because I'm a monster and, boy, I am cross!"

0:18:090:18:14

They fled from the monster and headed for Saturn

0:18:140:18:17

where Simon tried pants with a star-spangled pattern.

0:18:170:18:20

"Oh, look at that weirdo!" the aliens said.

0:18:200:18:23

On Saturn they wear pants on their head.

0:18:230:18:27

At the store on Uranus, all shrouded in mist, Simon said,

0:18:270:18:31

"Toilet roll's next on Mum's list."

0:18:310:18:33

"Of course," grinned the thing with the tentacled face,

0:18:330:18:37

"For loo roll this planet is just the right place."

0:18:370:18:40

"Right," declared Simon, "Before we go back,

0:18:400:18:43

"why don't we stop for a drink and a snack?"

0:18:430:18:46

They called in at Pluto for cosmic rock cakes,

0:18:460:18:49

which they ate at the Milky Way Parlour with shakes.

0:18:490:18:52

On Neptune, they hoped to get space fish and fries.

0:18:520:18:56

Instead, all they caught was a scary surprise!

0:18:560:18:59

"Time to head home, give it maximum power" said Simon, then,

0:18:590:19:03

"Yikes! It's a meteor shower!"

0:19:030:19:06

Down poured the meteors. When would they stop?

0:19:060:19:09

Then, uh-oh! They all heard a sound. It was pop!

0:19:090:19:13

"Don't panic!" said Rodney, "It's under control."

0:19:130:19:17

Then he climbed up and plonked his rear end on the hole.

0:19:170:19:21

They drifted back down to the earth with a bump

0:19:210:19:24

that made Uncle Somerset wake with a jump.

0:19:240:19:27

"Oh, don't mind the puncture," he said, "I can patch it,

0:19:270:19:31

"but you'd better run home to your mum or you'll catch it."

0:19:310:19:34

Imagine the look of surprise on Mum's face when Simon declared,

0:19:340:19:38

"I've been shopping in space!"

0:19:380:19:41

"You can tell us about it at dinner time, please," said his mum,

0:19:410:19:44

"I've made pizzas. I just need the cheese."

0:19:440:19:48

Simon searched in the bag for the things on Mum's list.

0:19:480:19:52

"Whoops," blushed the squirrel, "There's one thing I missed...

0:19:520:19:57

"Cheese!"

0:19:570:19:58

COW MOOS

0:20:030:20:04

That story was called The Great Balloon Hullabaloo.

0:20:040:20:07

You'd better get tucked up in bed now.

0:20:070:20:10

Maybe you'll dream about flying to the moon in

0:20:100:20:12

a big hot-air balloon just like Simon did.

0:20:120:20:15

I'll be back soon with another bedtime story. Sleep tight.
