Hello, I'm Alex. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Teddy's been dressing up. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
Doesn't he look like a fine bear? | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Tonight's story is about someone | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
who wears all kinds of fantastic outfits. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Would you like to hear it? | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Oh, good. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
The story is called Halibut Jackson and it's by David Lucas. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:28 | |
Halibut Jackson was shy. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Halibut Jackson didn't like to be noticed. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
Halibut Jackson liked to blend into the background. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
He had a suit that he wore to the park. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
He had a suit that he wore to the shops. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
He had a suit that he wore to the library. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
But mostly, Halibut Jackson stayed indoors. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
KNOCK KNOCK | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
One day, a letter arrived. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
It was an invitation. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
An invitation on a scroll of silver and gold. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:10 | |
It was an invitation to a party. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
"Please come to the Palace next Saturday. RSVP." | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
"The Palace!", said Halibut Jackson. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
He had seen pictures of the Palace. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
How he longed to see the Palace for himself. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
The Palace was silver and gold | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
and covered in jewels. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
But Halibut Jackson was shy. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Halibut Jackson didn't like to be noticed. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
Halibut Jackson certainly didn't go to parties. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
What a shame. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
That night, he dreamed of the Palace. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
He dreamed of glittering towers, of silver stairs, of a golden door. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
And when he woke, he had an idea. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
He began to make a suit. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
A suit of silver and gold, covered with jewels. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
"Now nobody will even notice me," said Halibut Jackson. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
TRUMPET FANFARE | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
How was he to know it was a garden party? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Everybody noticed Halibut Jackson and everybody wanted a suit like his. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
"What a beautiful suit!" they said. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
"Can you make me a suit of silver?" said the Queen. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
"Can you meet me a suit of gold?" said the King. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
"I will do my best," said Halibut Jackson. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
And so, Halibut Jackson made a suit for the Queen | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
and a suit for the King. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Halibut Jackson made suits for everybody. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Before long, Halibut Jackson had opened a shop. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
A shop selling all kinds of clothes, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
every kind of suit and hat that he could think of. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
In big gold letters, a sign said "Halibut Jackson". | 0:03:13 | 0:03:19 | |
Now, Halibut Jackson had friends. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Now, Halibut Jackson had plenty to do. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
And although he was still a little shy, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
it seemed not to matter so very much at all. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
That story was called Halibut Jackson. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
I hope you enjoyed it. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Perhaps tomorrow, you can put on a fantastic fancy dress outfit, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
fit for a queen or a king. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Right, now it's time for you to go to bed. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
I hope you have sweet dreams | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
and I'll see you soon. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 |
