CBeebies Bedtime Story.

0:48:030:48:05

Hello, my name is Frank.

0:48:070:48:10

What's the best present you've ever received?

0:48:100:48:14

Maybe it was a toy or a teddy.

0:48:140:48:17

Or how about a bucket? No?

0:48:170:48:22

Tonight's story is about Billy and all he wanted

0:48:220:48:26

for his birthday was a bucket.

0:48:260:48:28

Would you like to hear all about him?

0:48:280:48:30

The story is called Billy's Bucket and it's by

0:48:300:48:33

Kes Gray and Garry Parsons.

0:48:330:48:36

"Can I have a bucket for my birthday?" asked Billy.

0:48:360:48:40

Billy's dad looked up from his newspaper.

0:48:400:48:43

"A bucket? You don't want a bucket for your birthday.

0:48:430:48:47

"Nobody has buckets for their birthday!"

0:48:470:48:50

"Why don't they?" asked Billy.

0:48:500:48:52

"Because, Billy,"

0:48:520:48:54

explained his mum, "buckets are, well, buckets are far too buckety

0:48:540:48:58

"to be a birthday present."

0:48:580:49:01

But Billy wouldn't be persuaded.

0:49:010:49:03

"PLEASE can I have a bucket?" he asked.

0:49:030:49:06

"Have a bike," said his dad.

0:49:060:49:09

"Or some new trainers," said his mum.

0:49:090:49:11

"Or a computer game!"

0:49:110:49:13

"I want a bucket," said Billy.

0:49:130:49:16

"All right," sighed Billy's dad,

0:49:160:49:19

"you can have a bucket for your birthday."

0:49:190:49:22

"Yippee!" shouted Billy.

0:49:220:49:25

The next day Billy and his mum and dad went to Buckets 'R' Us.

0:49:250:49:30

There were buckets of buckets at Buckets 'R' Us.

0:49:300:49:34

Rubber buckets, plastic buckets, metal buckets, garden buckets,

0:49:340:49:39

farm buckets, builder's buckets, seaside buckets

0:49:390:49:42

and even football buckets.

0:49:420:49:45

Billy's mum and dad followed Billy up and down every single aisle.

0:49:450:49:51

"What sort of bucket are you looking for?" they asked.

0:49:510:49:54

"I dunno," said Billy, "but I'll know it when I see it."

0:49:540:49:58

Billy looked long and hard at every single bucket on every single shelf.

0:49:580:50:03

"There it is!" he shouted excitedly. "That's the one I want,

0:50:030:50:07

"right up there! 19 shelves up, 78 along from the left."

0:50:070:50:13

Billy's mum and dad got someone to help them.

0:50:130:50:16

"They all look the same to me," said the shop assistant.

0:50:160:50:20

"No, that one's special." said Billy excitedly.

0:50:200:50:24

When Billy got home, he ran straight into the kitchen

0:50:240:50:27

and filled his bucket with water.

0:50:270:50:31

"Wow," said Billy, peering inside his bucket, "I can see a rock pool

0:50:310:50:36

"with crabs and seaweed and little shrimpy things."

0:50:360:50:40

"Of course you can, Billy," smiled his dad.

0:50:400:50:44

"Wowee!" said Billy, "I just saw a shark!"

0:50:440:50:48

"Well, of course you did, Billy," laughed his mum.

0:50:480:50:51

"Guess what I've seen now," said Billy,

0:50:510:50:53

sitting down for his birthday tea.

0:50:530:50:56

"I've seen a stingray and some clownfish

0:50:560:50:58

"and a huge shoal of barracuda, and I think I've seen a mermaid

0:50:580:51:02

"but it might've been a big herring."

0:51:020:51:04

"Of course you have, Billy," laughed his dad.

0:51:040:51:07

Billy carried his bucket to the lounge.

0:51:070:51:11

"What's in your bucket at the moment, Billy?" chuckled his dad.

0:51:110:51:15

"Two submarines and a pilchard," said Billy.

0:51:150:51:18

"What's in your bucket now, Billy?" giggled his mum.

0:51:180:51:23

"Seven sea lions and a walrus," said Billy.

0:51:230:51:27

"Of course there are, Billy," laughed his mum and dad.

0:51:270:51:31

Billy was still staring into his bucket at bedtime.

0:51:310:51:35

Billy's dad nudged his wife and winked.

0:51:350:51:39

"Billy, is it all right

0:51:390:51:41

"if we borrow your bucket to mix up some wallpaper paste tomorrow?"

0:51:410:51:45

Billy looked up from his bucket and frowned. "No, it isn't.

0:51:450:51:51

"There are dolphins in my bucket at the moment.

0:51:510:51:54

"You must never borrow my bucket."

0:51:540:51:56

Billy's mum waited a few moments and winked at her husband.

0:51:560:52:01

"Billy, is it all right if we borrow your bucket to water

0:52:010:52:05

"the roses tomorrow?"

0:52:050:52:07

Billy looked up from his bucket and shook his head.

0:52:070:52:11

"There are two scuba divers in my bucket at the moment.

0:52:110:52:15

"You must never, ever borrow my bucket."

0:52:150:52:19

Billy's dad chuckled to himself and waited a few more moments.

0:52:190:52:24

"Billy, is it all right

0:52:240:52:27

"if I borrow your bucket to clean the car tomorrow?"

0:52:270:52:31

Billy looked up from his bucket and sighed.

0:52:310:52:36

"No, it isn't all right.

0:52:360:52:39

"There's a coral reef in my bucket at the moment.

0:52:390:52:43

"You must never, ever, ever borrow my bucket."

0:52:430:52:48

"What an imagination," laughed Billy's mum and dad. "Time for bed."

0:52:500:52:55

Billy put his bucket away and went upstairs.

0:52:570:53:00

"Thanks for a lovely birthday," he said,

0:53:000:53:03

"and the best present in the world."

0:53:030:53:06

When Billy woke up the next morning, he got dressed quickly

0:53:060:53:10

and ran downstairs to play with his bucket.

0:53:100:53:13

-BILLY GASPS

-But it wasn't there.

0:53:130:53:15

Oh, dear. Billy's dad had used the bucket to clean his lovely car

0:53:160:53:22

and there just happened to be quite a big whale in it.

0:53:220:53:26

WHALE SINGS

0:53:260:53:28

"I told you not to borrow my bucket," said Billy.

0:53:280:53:32

It took Billy's mum and dad six hours, three fire engines,

0:53:320:53:36

four cranes and a shoehorn to get the whale back into the bucket.

0:53:360:53:40

They never borrowed Billy's bucket again.

0:53:400:53:43

That was a funny story, wasn't it? Billy was right,

0:53:480:53:52

a bucket can be a very special birthday present.

0:53:520:53:56

But that's enough adventure for today.

0:53:560:53:58

It's time for you to go to bed.

0:53:580:54:00

I'll be back with another bedtime story very soon.

0:54:000:54:04

Night-night.
