0:07:09 > 0:07:11Oh, hello. I'm Adjoa.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I'm looking for my bear. Have you seen him?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19He's about this big and light brown with a really sweet face.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Hmm...
0:07:21 > 0:07:23There he is.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Thank you for helping me find him.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Come on, you.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33Well, tonight's bedtime story is all about Flora and her bear.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35He has a soapy, spinny adventure
0:07:35 > 0:07:39and he comes out looking a bit different from how he started.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Do you want to hear all about it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Do you?
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Great. Well, if you're sitting comfortably, I'll begin.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51The story is called Wash-A-Bye Bear.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53And it's by Thomas Docherty.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58"I love you, Bear," said Flora one morning.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03"But Mummy says you are smelly and full of bits and you need a wash.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09"So you're going in the washing machine with all the dirty socks.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13"Don't worry, Bear, I'm going to be right here waiting for you.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16"Be brave, Bear!"
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Wash away soggy breakfast smears.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Wash away melted ice cream tears.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Wash away memories of the beach.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Birthday cake and sticky sweets.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Wash away spatters of winter showers.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Wash away mud and rain-soaked hours.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Wash away scrapes from climbing trees.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Hide and seek in autumn leaves.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Wash away glittery glue from clothes.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Wash away paint from paws and nose.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Wash away furious felt-tip scribbles.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Splats and splots and drips
0:09:10 > 0:09:14and dribbles and...stop.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Poor, brave, dizzy Bear.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Clean, fluffy, wash-a-bye Bear.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25But now you don't look like Bear.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27You don't smell like Bear.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You don't taste like Bear.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31And you don't feel like Bear.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Come on, Bear, I know what to do.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Back through all our teatime fun.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Every smear and every crumb.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Back through noisy garden games.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Slippery slides and grassy stains.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Back through making things together.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Me and you for ever and ever.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And...stop.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Now you're my Bear again.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13But Mummy says now I'm all smelly and full of bits
0:10:13 > 0:10:15so I need a wash, too.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21"Mummy," said Flora after her bath.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23"Do you think Bear will still love me
0:10:23 > 0:10:27"now that I'm all washed and clean?"
0:10:27 > 0:10:29"Yes," said Mummy.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31"And he always will."
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That story was called Wash-A-Bye Bear.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And now it's time for you to find your favourite toy
0:10:41 > 0:10:45and take it to bed for a big cuddly squeeze.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50And I'll see you again soon for another bedtime story.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Good night.
