Hello, I'm Charlie.

0:15:070:15:09

It's nearly time for you to be getting ready for bed

0:15:090:15:13

but while you're going to sleep tonight there are some

0:15:130:15:16

animals who will be just waking up.

0:15:160:15:18

They're called "nocturnal" animals.

0:15:180:15:21

They stay awake at night and sleep in the daytime.

0:15:210:15:24

Tonight's bedtime story is about a nocturnal animal - a little fox.

0:15:240:15:29

Would you like to hear it?

0:15:290:15:32

It's called "Time For Bed, Little One."

0:15:320:15:35

And it's by Caroline Pitcher and Tina Macnaughton.

0:15:350:15:39

"Time for bed, little one", said Mother Fox.

0:15:410:15:44

"The moon is melting away and the sun is getting up.

0:15:440:15:47

"It's time foxes were asleep."

0:15:470:15:50

"But I'm not sleepy", Little Fox said.

0:15:500:15:53

"My friend's are only just waking! Please, can I have one more play?"

0:15:530:15:59

"Just one more play then, little cub."

0:15:590:16:02

So, Little Fox scampered off into the wood,

0:16:020:16:05

where an owl was flying softly overhead.

0:16:050:16:08

"Hello, Owl, will you play with me?"

0:16:080:16:10

asked Fox.

0:16:100:16:12

"I'm on my way home to bed", hooted Owl.

0:16:120:16:15

"And you should be too...oooh."

0:16:150:16:17

"But I'm not sleepy!" Little Fox cried

0:16:170:16:20

and he charged into a woodland glade, where Fawn was waking up.

0:16:200:16:25

"Play with me?" asked Little Fox.

0:16:250:16:28

"It's breakfast time for us", said gentle Mother Deer.

0:16:280:16:32

"Shouldn't you be going home?"

0:16:320:16:34

"The sun is turning the sky to gold

0:16:340:16:36

and foxes should be down in their dens."

0:16:360:16:39

"But I'm not sleepy", Little Fox cried and he skipped away again.

0:16:390:16:44

As Fox raced into the sunshine, a butterfly fluttered passed his nose.

0:16:440:16:49

He bounded after it,

0:16:490:16:51

jumping and bouncing all the way to the river bank.

0:16:510:16:54

WATER SPLASHES

0:16:540:16:55

Someone was busy in the water.

0:16:550:16:58

It was Otter!

0:16:580:17:00

He was twisting and turning in the rippling river,

0:17:000:17:03

rolling through the bubbles.

0:17:030:17:05

"Will you play with me?" called Little Fox

0:17:050:17:08

but Otter squeaked,

0:17:080:17:09

"I'm busy now, I'm catching fish and dragonflies too!"

0:17:090:17:14

"Otter's allowed to stay up all day...", thought Little Fox.

0:17:140:17:19

"He doesn't have to go to sleep and miss everything!"

0:17:190:17:23

Just then, an acorn rolled across the grass near Fox's paw.

0:17:230:17:28

He looked up and there was Squirrel, high up on a branch.

0:17:290:17:33

"Catch me if you can", she cried and dashed down the tree,

0:17:330:17:37

shaking her shimmering tail!

0:17:370:17:39

They raced into the woods, through the crackly bracken,

0:17:390:17:43

scattering the leaves and leaping over logs.

0:17:430:17:46

The woods were rich with the smell of feathers and fur

0:17:460:17:49

and peppery leaves.

0:17:490:17:51

But Little Fox was getting tired

0:17:510:17:53

and began to trail behind.

0:17:530:17:55

"Please wait for me", he panted.

0:17:570:17:59

"But I've got oodles of energy left", chattered Squirrel.

0:17:590:18:03

"Maybe you should be going to bed!"

0:18:030:18:07

Squirrel danced along the branch, leaping from tree to tree,

0:18:070:18:10

all the way through the woods.

0:18:100:18:13

Then it was quiet.

0:18:130:18:15

Little Fox was by himself.

0:18:150:18:18

HE SIGHS

0:18:180:18:19

"It's not fair", he thought.

0:18:190:18:22

"When I get up tonight, there'll be no-one left awake!

0:18:220:18:25

"I'll be all alone again."

0:18:250:18:28

Little Fox sighed and padded home.

0:18:280:18:31

He was so tired he could hardly even lift his head

0:18:310:18:35

and he nearly bumped into Badger.

0:18:350:18:39

"Are you off to bed,

0:18:390:18:40

"Little Fox?" Badger asked.

0:18:400:18:42

"I'm so tired I can't wait to be snuggled in my set."

0:18:420:18:46

"Will you be there when I get up?

0:18:460:18:49

"We can play chase in the moonlight!"

0:18:490:18:52

"Yes! Oh, yes, I will", cried Fox and he trotted on home!

0:18:520:18:57

At last he had a friend to play with in the night.

0:18:570:19:00

Back in his den, Little Fox nestled down with his mum.

0:19:010:19:05

She nuzzled his ears and they cuddled up safe,

0:19:050:19:09

a cosy pile of paws and tails.

0:19:090:19:11

"Sleep well, my little one", his mother said.

0:19:130:19:16

"When the moon is high and the stars crackle in the dark,

0:19:160:19:19

"You'll wake up, full of life again!"

0:19:190:19:22

And Little Fox fell fast asleep.

0:19:220:19:25

That story was called "Time For Bed, Little One".

0:19:270:19:30

Now it's time for you to go to bed and get some rest.

0:19:300:19:34

You need to be full of energy tomorrow to play

0:19:340:19:37

with your friends, just like Little Fox.

0:19:370:19:39

Perhaps someone who loves you will tuck you in

0:19:390:19:42

and give you a good night cuddle.

0:19:420:19:44

I hope you sleep tight.

0:19:440:19:47

I'll see you again very soon, night-night!
