0:00:18 > 0:00:21I've just been trying on King Colin's crown.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24I think it suited me, don't you?

0:00:24 > 0:00:29Don't tell him, though, cos I think he's in a bad mood today.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40The story is called Cantankerous King Colin.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43It's by Phil Allcock and Steve Stone.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49King Colin woke up feeling cantankerous.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54For breakfast, he had lettuce on toast with a jug of cold gravy.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58"Ew, you can't eat that," said Queen Christine.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01"It's yucky and mucky."

0:01:01 > 0:01:03"I can," said King Colin,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06and he did because he could, because he was king.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Silly King Colin.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13After breakfast, he went to the toilet,

0:01:13 > 0:01:16but he didn't wash his hands afterwards.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17TOILET FLUSHES

0:01:17 > 0:01:21"You can't go to the toilet without washing your hands,"

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Queen Christine said.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24"I can," said King Colin,

0:01:24 > 0:01:27and he did because he could, because he was king.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Dirty King Colin.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33He picked up an old shirt, it smelled of last night's dinner -

0:01:33 > 0:01:38fish stew with Brussels sprouts. "You can't put that on, it stinks,"

0:01:38 > 0:01:41said Queen Christine. "I can," said King Colin,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44and he did because he could, because he was king.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45SNIFFING

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Smelly King Colin.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49King Colin sulked around the palace.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54He was bored and a king should never be bored.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56So he decided to go for a ride.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57He rushed to the stables

0:01:57 > 0:02:00where his favourite horse, Pinknose III, lived.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02PINKNOSE WHINNIES

0:02:02 > 0:02:07But Pinknose III didn't have a saddle on. King Colin had a tantrum.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09He jumped up and down and shouted and wailed,

0:02:09 > 0:02:11"Where's my horse saddle?!"

0:02:11 > 0:02:15"Daddy, no-one knew you were going for a ride," said Prince Pete.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17"You can't shout like that."

0:02:17 > 0:02:19"I can," said King Colin,

0:02:19 > 0:02:23and he did because he could, because he was king.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Grumpy King Colin.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30King Colin rode Pinknose III into the country.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35Reaching a field of cabbages, he trotted straight through it.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38"Oi, you can't do that, you'll squash my cabbages,"

0:02:38 > 0:02:39shouted the farmer.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43"I can," said King Colin, and he did because he could,

0:02:43 > 0:02:45because he was king.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Lazy King Colin.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51On the way back, King Colin came to a big pool of mud.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55"I can't get Pinknose III to jump over that, can I?"

0:02:55 > 0:02:57he said to himself.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01"I can," decided King Colin, and he did because he could,

0:03:01 > 0:03:03because he was king.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Crazy King Colin.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Pinknose III didn't want to jump,

0:03:08 > 0:03:10and stopped suddenly.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Splat!

0:03:13 > 0:03:17King Colin wasn't happy. His face went as red as a tomato.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Steam came out of his ears, he roared louder than the loudest lion,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23but no-one heard him,

0:03:23 > 0:03:26only Pinknose III and he wasn't really listening.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28King Colin stomped home.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31He left muddy footprints all the way up the stairs.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35"Daddy, you can't go upstairs in your dirty boots,"

0:03:35 > 0:03:39said his daughter Princess Penny. "I can," snapped King Colin,

0:03:39 > 0:03:43and he did because he could, because he was king.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Naughty King Colin.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47King Colin sat down for a lunch

0:03:47 > 0:03:50of sausage and custard and beans covered in jam.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53"Ew, you can't eat that," said Queen Christine,

0:03:53 > 0:03:54"It's slurp-y and burp-y."

0:03:54 > 0:03:57King Colin was still cross, "I can," he roared.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00"Oh, no, you can't," said a voice.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03It was Great Queen Connie.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19"You can go straight to your room."

0:04:19 > 0:04:22"You can't do that," said King Colin.

0:04:22 > 0:04:28"I can," said Great Queen Connie, and she did because she could,

0:04:28 > 0:04:31because she was the king's mum.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37That story was called Cantankerous King Colin.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38It was funny, wasn't it?

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Now that King Colin's been sent to his room,

0:04:42 > 0:04:46perhaps I'll have a turn at being the king again.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Now, boys and girls, princes and princesses,

0:04:53 > 0:04:55it's time for you to go to bed.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57That's a royal order.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10Now, which of the royal teddies shall I, King Tom, cuddle tonight?
