0:22:07 > 0:22:12Hello, I'm Charlie. Are you almost ready for a bedtime story?
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Well, that's good. Because tonight's story is one of my favourites.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20It's called The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water
0:22:20 > 0:22:22and it's by Gemma Merino.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Once upon a time, there was a little crocodile.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30And this little crocodile didn't like water.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33He longed to play with his brothers and sisters,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35but they were far too busy with swim club.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39And this little crocodile didn't like swim club.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42What he really liked was climbing trees.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46But, nobody else did.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It was lonely having nobody to play with.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54So, the little crocodile made a decision.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57He had saved up his money from the tooth fairy
0:22:57 > 0:22:59and he knew exactly what to buy with it.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06The next afternoon, he took his new rubber ring over to the water.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Today, he would play with his brothers and sisters!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11But, he couldn't play ball...
0:23:13 > 0:23:14..or swim underwater.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19And, although climbing the ladder was fun,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21he just didn't want to jump!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But, he didn't want to be alone.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29So, he decided to try one last time.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30One...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32two...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34two and a half...
0:23:34 > 0:23:35three!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37SPLASH!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Glug! Help!
0:23:41 > 0:23:45This little crocodile definitely hated water!
0:23:45 > 0:23:50It was cold, it was wet, and it was embarrassing.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54But then, something strange happened.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58His nose began to tickle.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00And the tickle grew...
0:24:00 > 0:24:01and grew...
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and grew...
0:24:04 > 0:24:05until...
0:24:05 > 0:24:07AAAACH OOOO!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12This little crocodile didn't like water
0:24:12 > 0:24:15because he wasn't a crocodile at all.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18He was a dragon!
0:24:18 > 0:24:22And this little dragon wasn't born to swim.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24He was born to breathe fire.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28And he was born to fly.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37That story was called The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I'm glad that our friend found out who he really was.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Dragons aren't very good at swimming.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45But, they are excellent at flying.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Now, it's time for you to get tucked up in bed.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Perhaps you'll dream about soaring through the sky,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53just like our dragon friend.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54I hope you sleep well.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58I'll see you again soon for another bedtime story.
