Tonight's story is about a hippo who thinks he's one of a kind

0:34:060:34:11

and his best friend, a bird, who wants to be just like him.

0:34:110:34:16

The story is called I Am Not A Copycat,

0:34:160:34:20

and it is by Ann Bonwill and Simon Rickerty.

0:34:200:34:24

HUGO: I am Hugo the hippo. I'm one of a kind. I am unique.

0:34:260:34:34

BELLA: What are we doing?

0:34:350:34:37

HUGO: I was being unique until you came along, Bella.

0:34:370:34:40

BELLA: Oh. Sorry. That's quite a hat, by the way.

0:34:400:34:44

HUGO: Thank you! But as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted,

0:34:440:34:50

I'm practising moves for my water ballet.

0:34:500:34:54

I don't know another hippo who can stand on his head...

0:34:540:34:59

BOING!

0:34:590:35:00

BELLA: Neither do I! Love the costume.

0:35:000:35:03

HUGO: ..touch his toes...

0:35:030:35:05

CREAK!

0:35:050:35:06

BELLA: Nope. Can't think of anyone. Great goggles.

0:35:060:35:10

THUD!

0:35:100:35:11

HUGO: ..or even do the splits.

0:35:110:35:14

BELLA: It's true. There's no-one like you,

0:35:140:35:17

you are unique, right down to your flippers.

0:35:170:35:22

HUGO: I would be, except that you keep copying me!

0:35:220:35:27

BELLA: Wow! Nice armbands! Where are we going?

0:35:270:35:31

HUGO: Not telling. And you are NOT going.

0:35:310:35:36

BELLA: Ta-da!

0:35:360:35:39

HUGO: Bella! Do you have to copy everything I do?

0:35:390:35:43

BELLA: Erm, yes. It's lots of fun,

0:35:430:35:48

and besides, I want to be unique, too, just like you!

0:35:480:35:53

HUGO: Argh! Time for my show. See how I can float?

0:35:530:36:01

BELLA: So can I!

0:36:010:36:03

SPLASH!

0:36:030:36:04

HUGO: And dive.

0:36:040:36:06

SPLASH!

0:36:060:36:08

BELLA: Me too!

0:36:080:36:10

HUGO: But only I can do a triple back flip.

0:36:100:36:13

BOING!

0:36:130:36:15

BELLA: Right. Only you.

0:36:150:36:17

SPLASH!

0:36:170:36:18

HUGO: Bella, will you stop being a copycat?

0:36:180:36:22

BELLA: I'm not a copycat! I'm a bird.

0:36:220:36:26

HUGO: Well, you're a bird who's ruining my water ballet.

0:36:260:36:31

"Bravo," says another hippo. "May I take your photo?

0:36:310:36:37

"You two are amazing synchronised swimmers."

0:36:370:36:41

"I agree!" says another bird. "Your team is truly unique."

0:36:430:36:49

BELLA: Really? See, Hugo? I wasn't ruining your ballet.

0:36:490:36:54

I was making it better.

0:36:540:36:56

HUGO: Yes... I suppose you were.

0:36:560:37:00

CAMERA CLICKS

0:37:000:37:01

HUGO: I think we're famous!

0:37:010:37:03

BELLA: How about some ice cream to celebrate?

0:37:040:37:07

I'll have strawberry swirl with vanilla wafers and minty sprinkles.

0:37:070:37:12

HUGO: And I'll have...

0:37:120:37:14

exactly the same!

0:37:140:37:17

You're right, Bella, it is lots of fun to be alike.

0:37:190:37:23

BELLA: I guess so, sometimes.

0:37:230:37:26

But maybe this time I'll change mine to...

0:37:260:37:30

double chocolate chip...

0:37:300:37:32

just to be unique.

0:37:320:37:34

And that story was called I Am Not A Copycat.

0:37:360:37:41

I think Bella WAS being a copycat, really. Don't you?

0:37:410:37:45

But it all turned out brilliantly in the end.

0:37:450:37:47

And they had ice cream. Lucky them!

0:37:470:37:51

Now it's bedtime for hippos and birds,

0:37:510:37:55

and it's bedtime for you, as well.

0:37:550:37:57

So get yourself comfy and cosy and ready for a good night's sleep.

0:37:570:38:01

I'll see you again soon for another bedtime story. Night-night!
