Adjoa Andoh - Elephant CBeebies Bedtime Stories

CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Hello.

My name is Adjoa

and this is my friend Elephant.

He's especially interested in tonight's bedtime story,

because it's called...

..Elephant, and it's by Petr Horacek.

I asked Grandad to play football with me

but he was too busy.

I went to see Grandma,

but she was busy too.

So I asked my elephant if he wanted to play with me.

ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

We played football in the garden.

Then Grandad called,

"Who messed up the flowerbed?"

"I'm sorry!

"It was my elephant!",

I replied.

Grandad did not believe me,

so I took my elephant inside.

Then, Grandma called,

"Who messed up the hallway?"

-BUMPING AND SMASHING

-"I'm sorry,

"but it must have been my elephant",

I replied.

"And was it your elephant who splashed

"and made puddles in the bathroom?"

SPLASHING

"Was it your elephant who knocked over the orange juice?"

GLUGGING

"And was it your elephant who ate some of the cakes?"

Grandma asked.

"Well...

"Yes!" I replied truthfully.

Grandma looked at me as if she didn't believe me.

I was upset.

I wanted to be alone.

Then my elephant came.

-ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

-He smiled at me.

I said sorry for telling on him.

We were friends again.

We played in my room all day.

We went fishing. It was fun.

Then my elephant took me to the jungle to see tigers, until...

-TIGER GROWLS

-..it was morning

and Grandad wanted to play football.

"But how did I get to bed?"

I asked.

"You were tired," said Grandad,

"so your elephant took you to bed."

And that story was called Elephant.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Did you enjoy it, Elephant?

Ah, I thought you would!

Well, it's bedtime for you.

And now it's your bedtime too.

So, sweet dreams

and I'll see you again soon

for another bedtime story.
