0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello, I'm Brian.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12What do you see when you look up into the night sky?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Do you see twinkling stars?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Perhaps you can see a great big shiny moon.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21I'd love to visit the moon. Wouldn't you?
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Perhaps tonight's bedtime story is going to take us there.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29It's called The Way Back Home and it's by Oliver Jeffers.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Once, there was a boy.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And one day, as he was putting his things back in the cupboard,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38he found an aeroplane.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40He didn't remember leaving it in there
0:00:40 > 0:00:43but he thought he'd take it out for a go, right away.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The plane lifted off the ground and up into the sky,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51higher and higher and higher.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Suddenly, the plane spluttered.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58It had run out of petrol.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Now the boy was stuck on the moon.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06What was he to do?
0:01:06 > 0:01:11He was all alone and afraid and soon his torch began to go out.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Up in space, someone else was in trouble too.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20His engine had broken down
0:01:20 > 0:01:24and steering the ship towards a flicker of light,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26he landed on the moon...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28with a bump!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Both the boy and the Martian could hear noises in the dark
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and both feared the worst.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38But as their eyes got used to the dark,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41they both realised they'd met someone else in trouble.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44They weren't alone any more.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49The boy showed the Martian his empty petrol tank.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53And the Martian showed the boy his broken engine.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Together, they thought of ways to fix their machines
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and how to get them both back home.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The boy jumped down to Earth to get the things they would need,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07right down into the sea,
0:02:07 > 0:02:08and swam towards home.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12But by the time he got there,
0:02:12 > 0:02:13the boy was tired out
0:02:13 > 0:02:18so he sat in his favourite chair, just to catch his breath.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20His favourite programme was just starting
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and he settled down to watch.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Suddenly, he remembered what he should be doing
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and rushed off to the cupboard to get what he needed.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- He ran outside and shouted.- Hello!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39But there was no reply, he couldn't be heard.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41The boy climbed to higher ground,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45called again and waited.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47This time, a rope was lowered.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52The boy began to climb and the Martian began to pull
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and soon the boy was back on the moon.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00The boy fixed up the Martian's engine with the right spanner
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and the Martian filled the boy's petrol tank.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07They said goodbye and thanked each other for their help.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11They wondered if they'd ever meet again.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17After a long night, they were both finally off the moon.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21The boy went one way and the Martian went another,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24both on their way back home.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27But that isn't quite the end of the story.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Sometime later, there was a knock at the boy's door.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33A parcel was delivered.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36The Martian hadn't forgotten his friend from Earth.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And that story was called The Way Back Home.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Fancy going all the way to the moon and meeting a Martian!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49What an adventure.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Perhaps you'll dream about adventures to another galaxy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56But for now, it's time to snuggle down and go to sleep.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I'll see you again soon. Night-night.
