CBeebies Bedtime Story.

0:00:020:00:06

Hello, I'm Damian.

0:00:060:00:08

It's bedtime for a little tiger called Piper

0:00:080:00:11

in tonight's bedtime story.

0:00:110:00:14

Say hello, Piper.

0:00:140:00:15

HE GROWLS SOFTLY

0:00:150:00:18

But he's not very happy about spending the whole night

0:00:180:00:21

in his own bed.

0:00:210:00:23

Let me tell you all about him.

0:00:230:00:25

This story is called Too Small For My Big Bed

0:00:250:00:30

and it's by Amber Stewart and Layn Marlow.

0:00:300:00:33

As Mummy kissed Piper goodnight,

0:00:350:00:38

she said to him, "If you wake in the night,

0:00:380:00:41

"don't come straight into Mummy's bed.

0:00:410:00:43

"Try counting to more than ten.

0:00:430:00:46

"Maybe that will help you fall back to sleep in your own bed."

0:00:460:00:50

When Piper did wake in the night, he tried counting.

0:00:500:00:53

"One...

0:00:540:00:56

"Two...

0:00:560:00:57

"Three...

0:00:570:00:59

"Four...

0:00:590:01:00

"Five...

0:01:000:01:01

"Six...

0:01:010:01:03

"Seven...

0:01:030:01:04

"Eight...

0:01:040:01:06

"Nine...

0:01:060:01:07

"Ten!

0:01:070:01:09

"Ten and a bit.

0:01:100:01:12

"Ten and a bit more."

0:01:130:01:15

"Ten and a big bit more..."

0:01:160:01:18

But he was still awake.

0:01:200:01:22

And a wide-awake Piper didn't want to be alone

0:01:220:01:25

in the deep, dark night.

0:01:250:01:28

"I counted to more than ten," he whispered,

0:01:280:01:31

as he snuggled in beside his mummy.

0:01:310:01:33

"Oh, what a clever little cub you are," she sighed.

0:01:330:01:37

But Piper was already fast asleep,

0:01:370:01:41

spread out like a small star.

0:01:410:01:44

In the morning, Mummy took Piper to the Golden Grasslands.

0:01:460:01:51

Piper pounced and jumped until he needed to stop for a rest.

0:01:510:01:56

"Today I jumped higher than ever," he said happily.

0:01:560:01:59

"I know," smiled Mummy, "I've been watching...

0:01:590:02:03

"You jumped so high and you did it ALL BY YOURSELF."

0:02:030:02:08

"All by myself!" laughed Piper.

0:02:090:02:12

But that night,

0:02:120:02:14

Piper still didn't want to be all by himself in the deep dark.

0:02:140:02:18

The next day, Mummy took Piper climbing along Red Rock Ridge.

0:02:190:02:24

Piper bounded easily to the top.

0:02:240:02:27

"Mummy!" he called, "Look at me!

0:02:270:02:31

"I'm going to be the king of the castle!"

0:02:310:02:33

"I know," smiled Mummy. "I'm watching...

0:02:330:02:37

"You've climbed so far and you've done it

0:02:370:02:40

"ALL BY YOURSELF."

0:02:400:02:43

"All by myself!" laughed Piper.

0:02:430:02:46

"Tonight, Piper," said Mummy,

0:02:480:02:51

as they padded homewards,

0:02:510:02:53

"if you wake in the night,

0:02:530:02:55

"try thinking about how high you jumped

0:02:550:02:58

"and how far you climbed ALL BY YOURSELF.

0:02:580:03:03

"Then perhaps staying in your own bed ALL BY YOURSELF

0:03:030:03:08

"will seem easier."

0:03:080:03:09

Piper didn't look sure.

0:03:090:03:12

"In the deep, dark night," he whispered,

0:03:120:03:16

"my bed feels too big."

0:03:160:03:19

"It's not as big as my bed," said Mummy gently.

0:03:190:03:23

"But when I climb into your bed, Mummy," said Piper,

0:03:230:03:27

"you are near to take away the bigness."

0:03:270:03:30

Mummy and Piper stopped at their favourite pond.

0:03:300:03:34

While they drank, Mummy asked,

0:03:350:03:38

"How do you know I am near now, my clever little cub?"

0:03:380:03:42

"I can see your face wobbling in the water," said Piper.

0:03:430:03:48

"If you keep your eyes closed

0:03:480:03:51

"and I am quieter than the smallest cricket," asked Mummy,

0:03:510:03:57

"then how do you know I am near?"

0:03:570:04:00

Piper thought and waited...

0:04:000:04:02

HE SNIFFS

0:04:020:04:04

..and sniffed the air.

0:04:040:04:07

"I can just feel you, Mummy," he smiled, "I can feel you are near."

0:04:070:04:12

"I'll NEVER be far away," she said, as they lay in the evening sun.

0:04:130:04:20

"Mummies never are."

0:04:200:04:22

When Piper woke that night, he looked into the deep dark

0:04:240:04:29

and though he couldn't see his mummy,

0:04:290:04:32

he could feel the cool night air spreading her love around him.

0:04:320:04:37

And he KNEW that she was near.

0:04:370:04:40

So Piper snuggled down further in his own bed

0:04:420:04:45

and started counting to more than ten.

0:04:450:04:48

But he only managed to count as far as one...

0:04:480:04:52

..two...

0:04:530:04:55

three...

0:04:550:04:57

HE SNORES

0:04:570:04:59

..before he was fast asleep.

0:05:000:05:02

Right through till morning.

0:05:040:05:07

That story was called Too Small For My Big Bed.

0:05:090:05:13

I hope you sleep tight in your own bed tonight,

0:05:130:05:16

just like Piper did...

0:05:160:05:19

eventually.

0:05:190:05:21

Bye!

0:05:210:05:22

Make sure you join me soon for another bedtime story.

0:05:220:05:26

Night-night.

0:05:260:05:27
