0:00:06 > 0:00:11Arrr, pirate teddy, it be time for a bedtime story.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Are you ready, shipmates?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Because tonight's story is a pirate adventure.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It's called The Night Pirates
0:00:18 > 0:00:22and it's by Peter Harris and Deborah Allwright.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Down, down, down the dark, dark street they came.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Quiet as mice, stealthy as shadows.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Up, up, up the dark, dark house they climbed.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Stealthy as shadows, quiet as mice.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Only the moon was watching them when they arrived.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Only the moon was watching them when they left.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Only the moon and one little boy.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Tom was a nice little boy.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Tom was a brave little boy.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Tom was a little boy about to have an adventure.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Who were these shadows as quiet as mice,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08stealing away with the front of Tom's house?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Maybe monsters or trolls,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13maybe ogres or gremlins.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Maybe bandits or pirates.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Pirates?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Pirates!
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Rough, tough, little girl pirates, with their own pirate ship.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28A ship set for sailing.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30A ship off on adventures.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34A ship stealing the front of Tom's house for disguise.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36But what about Tom?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Could he join the crew?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41"Please, let me aboard!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43"Can I come, too?"
0:01:43 > 0:01:48And did the little girl captain say, "Certainly not, you're only a boy"?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Oh, no, not at all.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Instead she roared, "Welcome aboard!"
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Then up went the sails and up went the flag,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03then off sailed the rough, tough, little girl pirates.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07The little girl pirates and their shipmate Tom.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09But where were they going?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11To an island
0:02:11 > 0:02:12where Captain Patch
0:02:12 > 0:02:16and his really rough, tough, grown-up pirates
0:02:16 > 0:02:20were snoozing around their full treasure chest.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Then Captain Patch saw something -
0:02:23 > 0:02:25something very strange.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Something very strange indeed!
0:02:27 > 0:02:29What could he see?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34A house sailing towards them, getting closer and closer.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39A house sailing towards them with a little boy waving hello.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42"I've seen a house," Captain Patch declared.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45"We've all seen houses!" said the pirates.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47"Who cares?!"
0:02:47 > 0:02:51"Don't just lie there, do something!" Captain Patch roared.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55But the Pirates went back to sleep and just snored
0:02:55 > 0:02:58while the house sailed nearer and nearer,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02until out leapt the girl pirates
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and out leapt Tom
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and out leapt a fearsome roar.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The pirates gaped.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11The pirates goggled.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Then the pirates all ran away.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18So Tom and the girl pirates sailed away with the treasure,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22while the rough, tough, grown-up pirates hid in the trees.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Captain Patch stamped his feet and shouted to his worst pirate curse.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32"If you don't give me my treasure back,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36"I'll tell my mum!"
0:03:36 > 0:03:40But off they had sailed, all the way home.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Down, down, down the dark, dark street they came.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Quiet as mice, stealthy as shadows.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Up, up, up the dark, dark house they climbed.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Stealthy as shadows, quiet as mice.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Only the moon was watching them when they arrived.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Only the moon was watching them when they left.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Only the moon and one little boy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Tom was a brave little boy.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Tom was a sleepy little boy.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Tom was a boy who had had an adventure
0:04:15 > 0:04:19and no-one would ever find out.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Would they?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Did you spot what happened at the end?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29The night pirates put the house back the wrong way round!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I think Tom's got some explaining to do.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Now it's time for teddy pirates to go to bed
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and I think it's your bedtime, too.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I hope you have adventures in your dreams tonight.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Sleep tight.
