Ellie Harrison - Stuck in the Mud CBeebies Bedtime Stories

MOON: CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Hello, I'm Ellie.

I hope you're going to enjoy tonight's bedtime story.

It's set on a farm.

And if you're sitting comfortably, then I'll begin.

The story is called Stuck In The Mud

and it's by Jane Clarke and Garry Parsons.

Cock-a-doodle-do!

Early in the morning Down on the farm

A new day was dawning Peaceful and calm

One, two, three, four, five Six, seven, eight, nine, ten

The barn door bursts open "Wake up!" squawked Hen

"I've counted my chicks And one's run off again!

"Help! Help!" clucked the hen "My poor little chick

"He's stuck in the mud and the mud's deep and thick

"I've pushed and I've pulled again and again

"And now I'm stuck too!" Said the poor muddy hen.

Cat heard the hen "Hold on, wait for me

"It's purr-fectly easy I'll soon pull you free."

HEN CLUCKS

Cat pushed and she pulled Again and again

But soon she was stuck With the poor, muddy hen.

Dog heard the cat "I'll help you!" he yapped

So he jumped in the mud And got his paws trapped

Dog pushed and pulled again and again

But soon he was stuck With the cat and the hen.

-Sheep heard the dog.

-SHE BARKS

She wasn't thinking

So she stepped in the mud And soon she was sinking

SHEEP 'BAA'S

She pushed and she pulled Again and again

But poor Sheep was stuck with Dog, Cat and Hen!

Horse heard the sheep, "Baa! Baa!" "Oh, neigh! How unlucky!

"My horseshoes are sinking "My tail's getting mucky"

Horse pushed and he pulled Again and again

But then he was stuck with Sheep, Dog, Cat and Hen.

"What's this?!", said the farmer "Phew! This mud is smelly!

"And now mucky mud is all over my wellies!"

He pushed and he pulled Again and again

But the farmer was stuck with them all like the hen.

"Oh, dear!" said the chick "You all seem to be trapped!"

Splat went the mud As his little wings flapped

"It's time I got out" And with a small plop

Chick jumped off the mud with a skip and a hop

"You pushed and you pulled Again and again,

"But I'm not stuck now and I wasn't stuck then.

"Mud is great fun I'm sure you'll agree

"I love mucky mud. Thanks for playing with me!"

That was Stuck In The Mud. What was a cheeky little chick!

He was pretending all along! I hope you enjoyed that story.

I know our animal friends did.

Now, I'd better get these animals ready for bed.

And it's time for your bedtime as well. Off you go.

Get tucked up for a good night's sleep.

I'll be back again soon with another Bedtime Story. Night-night.
