Hello, I'm Nicola.

0:46:060:46:09

It's time for me to read you a bedtime story.

0:46:090:46:12

Are you sitting comfortably?

0:46:120:46:14

Then I'll begin.

0:46:140:46:15

Tonight's story is called The Bunny That Couldn't Be Found.

0:46:150:46:19

It's by Angela Mitchell and illustrated by Sarah Horne.

0:46:190:46:23

As Johnny Bunny slipped through his doggy flap,

0:46:230:46:27

Princess Lolly yawned and stretched.

0:46:270:46:29

"Mmm, what a lovely dream, Johnny Bunny," she called sweetly.

0:46:290:46:35

"Where's my adorable pooch?"

0:46:350:46:38

She looked under the covers. He wasn't there.

0:46:380:46:41

She looked under the bed. He wasn't there.

0:46:410:46:45

She looked in the royal closet.

0:46:450:46:47

He wasn't there either.

0:46:470:46:49

She flung open the windows and looked all around her kingdom.

0:46:490:46:53

Johnny Bunny wasn't anywhere to be seen.

0:46:550:46:58

"Bunny's missing!" she screamed. "Oh, where can he be?"

0:46:580:47:04

"Your Highness, I thought I heard a strange noise," yawned the guard.

0:47:040:47:10

"My Bunny's missing! Johnny Bunny has gone!

0:47:100:47:14

"Call the sergeant pronto!" ordered Princess Lolly.

0:47:140:47:18

"The palace must be searched."

0:47:180:47:21

"Your Highness, we've been informed that your pet has gone missing.

0:47:210:47:25

"What are we looking for?"

0:47:250:47:27

"Bunny!" sobbed Princess Lolly. "Johnny Bunny!"

0:47:270:47:32

"A Bunny?" said the sergeant to the policemen.

0:47:320:47:35

"A bunny?" "A bunny!" "A bunny!"

0:47:350:47:38

"Can you describe him, Your Highness?" said the sergeant.

0:47:380:47:42

"He's white, with an adorable black patch over one eye,"

0:47:420:47:46

sobbed Princess Lolly.

0:47:460:47:48

"Do not fret, Your Highness. We will search the palace high and low,

0:47:480:47:52

"and find your bunny," assured the sergeant.

0:47:520:47:55

"Here, bunny, bunny," they called.

0:47:550:47:58

"He's not here, Sarge."

0:47:580:48:00

Johnny Bunny wondered why they were calling him,

0:48:000:48:03

so followed them to the throne room.

0:48:030:48:06

"Bunny!"

0:48:060:48:07

"Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!"

0:48:070:48:10

"He's not here either, Sarge."

0:48:110:48:14

"Bunny! Sweet, adorable bunny!"

0:48:140:48:17

On hearing the sergeant's loving tone

0:48:170:48:20

Johnny Bunny tried a few of his cute tricks.

0:48:200:48:23

"Pesky dog," growled the sergeant, and pushed Johnny Bunny away.

0:48:250:48:30

"Bunny! Here, bunny, bunny!"

0:48:300:48:33

Could a tasty morsel be on offer? On hearing his name again,

0:48:330:48:37

Johnny Bunny ran, lost his grip and slid along the shiny ballroom floor,

0:48:370:48:42

slamming into the search party.

0:48:420:48:44

"Will someone please remove this pesky dog!" shouted the sergeant.

0:48:440:48:49

Johnny Bunny fled to the safety of the kitchen.

0:48:490:48:53

"Animals? In my kitchen? Never, never!" flustered the cook.

0:48:530:48:59

"I'll skin that rabbit alive if I catch him!"

0:48:590:49:03

"Doesn't her Highness think we've got better things to do

0:49:030:49:07

"than chase after a bit of fluff?

0:49:070:49:09

"Stop moaning and do your duty," ordered the sergeant.

0:49:090:49:13

Johnny Bunny couldn't understand

0:49:130:49:15

why these grumpy fellows were still calling his name but ignoring him.

0:49:150:49:20

Not even a bone or a tasty morsel. Nothing! Grr!

0:49:200:49:25

"Here, bunny, bunny!"

0:49:250:49:27

Johnny Bunny sidled up to the sergeant once more.

0:49:270:49:31

"Pesky mutt! You're hampering our investigation!"

0:49:310:49:35

As they entered the garden, the sergeant ordered,

0:49:360:49:40

"Search the carrots! Lift every leaf.

0:49:400:49:42

"Pull them up if you have to. I want that rabbit found."

0:49:420:49:47

"Yes, Sarge," sighed the policemen.

0:49:470:49:50

"He's probably hopped all the way to the next kingdom."

0:49:500:49:53

"Oh, my feet!"

0:49:530:49:55

"If I find that rabbit, I'll make a pie of him."

0:49:550:49:59

Suddenly, the guard strolled into the garden.

0:49:590:50:02

"Where do you think the bunny has gone?" said the sergeant.

0:50:020:50:06

"I really couldn't tell you," replied the guard.

0:50:060:50:10

"Really couldn't tell you."

0:50:100:50:12

Poor Johnny Bunny. He was tired and hungry,

0:50:120:50:16

and a little dizzy with all the to-ing and fro-ing,

0:50:160:50:19

so he decided to return to the royal bedroom for a little nap.

0:50:190:50:24

"Bunny! My Bunny! Johnny Bunny is back!"

0:50:240:50:29

The princess's cry could be heard throughout the palace.

0:50:290:50:33

The guard, the sergeants and all the policemen came rushing in.

0:50:330:50:38

"My bunny's back," sobbed Princess Lolly.

0:50:380:50:42

"But that's not a rabbit," said the sergeant, confused.

0:50:420:50:46

"Quite," said the guard.

0:50:460:50:48

That story was called The Bunny That Couldn't Be Found.

0:50:500:50:54

Johnny Bunny caused quite a lot of confusion, didn't he?

0:50:540:50:57

But I'm glad he found his way home to Princess Lolly.

0:50:570:51:01

Now why don't you get under the covers

0:51:010:51:03

and cuddle your favourite teddy really tight?

0:51:030:51:06

See you all again soon for another bedtime story. Sleep tight!
