0:00:06 > 0:00:09Hello there. My name's Maggie.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13I love the moon, and it looks even better through my telescope.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Have you seen a telescope before?

0:00:15 > 0:00:18It's something to look at stars and planets with.

0:00:18 > 0:00:22It makes things that are very far away look much closer.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Tonight's story is about a little boy who has a telescope.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28And he thinks he can see something very strange.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Would you like to hear it?

0:00:30 > 0:00:33It's called Shark In The Dark by Nick Sharratt.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Just before bedtime,

0:00:36 > 0:00:41a certain small boy stands at the window with his favourite toy.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope is looking through his telescope.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47He looks at the sky and the moon up there.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51He looks left, he looks right, he looks everywhere.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53And this is what he sees.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Jumping jellyfish, what's that bobbing in the dark?!

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Could it be a great white shark?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02A shark? No, it's not...

0:01:05 > 0:01:07..it's the sail on a yacht.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope looks again through his telescope.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16He looks at the sky and the moon up there.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19He looks left, he looks right, he looks everywhere.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21And this is what he sees.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Stumbling starfish, what's that swishing through the dark?!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Could it be a great white shark?

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Tim says, "Silly me...

0:01:33 > 0:01:35"..it's a seagull with his tea."

0:01:35 > 0:01:37BIRDS SQUAWK

0:01:37 > 0:01:42Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope has one last look through his telescope.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45He sees the sky and the moon up there.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48He looks left, he looks right, he looks everywhere.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50And this is what he sees.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Quivering catfish, what's that lurking in the dark?!

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Could it be a great white shark?

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Don't worry, Tim, there's no need to scream, it isn't a shark...

0:02:03 > 0:02:05..it's a giant ice cream.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Tim says to his dad, "I'm sure I'm right,

0:02:10 > 0:02:12"there are no sharks in the dark tonight."

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I spotted a shark in the dark. Did you?

0:02:19 > 0:02:21When you go up to bed tonight,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24why don't you look through your bedroom window?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Who knows what you might spot? Probably not a shark.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29They live out deep in the ocean.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Off you go then. Get tucked up,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34and I'll see you again very soon.
