Liz Carr - Oi Frog CBeebies Bedtime Stories

CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Hello, I'm Liz, and this is my friend, the frog.

The frog was a bit late for our story date.

First, frog got stuck in a bog, then frog got lost in the smog.

Phew, frog! What a slog!

Tonight's story has lots of words that rhyme.

Would you like to hear it?

The story is called Oi Frog, by Kes Gray and Jim Field.

"Oi, frog! Sit on a log!", said the cat.

"But I don't want to sit on a log",

said the frog, "Logs are all knobbly and uncomfortable."

FROG CROAKS

"And they can give you splinters in your bottom."

-FROG CROAKS

-"Oh!"

"I don't care", said the cat.

"You're a frog, so you must sit on a log."

"Can't I sit on a mat?", asked the frog.

"Only cats sit on mats", said the cat.

"What about a chair?", said the frog.

"I wouldn't mind sitting on a chair."

"Hares sit on chairs", said the cat.

"Perhaps I could sit on a stool", said the frog.

"Mules sit on stools", said the cat.

"What about a sofa?", said the frog.

"I could stretch right out on a sofa."

"Gophers sit on sofas", said the cat.

GOPHERS SQUEAK

"It's very simple, really.

"Cats sit on mats, hares sit on chairs, mules sit on stools,

"gophers sit on sofas, and frogs sit on logs."

"What do lions sit on?", asked the frog.

"Lions sit on irons" said the cat. "Ouch!", said the frog.

"What do parrots sit on?" "Parrots sit on carrots", said the cat.

"Lions sit on irons and parrots sit on carrots."

"That doesn't sound very comfortable", said the frog.

"It's not about being comfortable", said the cat.

"It's about doing the right thing."

"What do foxes sit on?", asked the frog.

"Foxes sit on boxes", said the cat.

"Foxes sit on boxes and fleas sit on peas."

"What do goats sit on?", asked the frog.

"Goats sit on coats", said the cat.

"Goats sit on coats, cows sit on ploughs, and storks sit on forks."

"What do gorillas sit on?", asked the frog.

"Gorillas sit on pillows", said the cat.

"Gorillas sit on pillows, rats sit on hats,

"weasels sit on easels, and moles sit on poles."

"What do seals sit on?", asked the frog. "Oh...

"Don't you know anything?", said the cat.

"Seals sit on wheels, doves sit on gloves,

"newts sit on flutes, lizards sit on wizards,

"and apes sit on grapes."

"What about puffins?", asked the frog.

"Puffins sit on muffins", said the cat.

"Puffins sit on muffins, snakes sit on cakes, owls sit on towels,

"gibbons sit on ribbons, lambs sit on jams, and bees sit on keys."

BEES BUZZ

"Well, I never knew that!", said the frog.

"Well, you do now", said the cat.

"What do dogs sit on?", asked the frog.

"I was hoping you weren't going to ask that", said the cat.

"Oh!"

"Help!"

Poor frog!

DOG BARKS

That story was called Oi Frog.

Now it's time for you and frog to go to bed.

So, lay down your sleepy head and dream of puffins and monkeys

gently snoring, and before you know it, it'll be morning.

Night-night. Sleep tight.
