Hello. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
My name is Lesley. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
I've come to read you a bedtime story, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
and tonight's is about a very surprising baby-sitter. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
Would you like to hear it? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Good. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
I hope you're sitting comfortably. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
The story is called Aunt Amelia, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
and it's by Rebecca Cobb. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
We were in a bad mood. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Aunt Amelia was coming to look after us. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
DOORBELL RINGS | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
We didn't know who Aunt Amelia was and we didn't want looking after. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
Dad said we had met her once when we were tiny. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
Mum said we had to be good. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Mum and Dad left a list of instructions. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
"Thank you," said Aunt Amelia. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
"I'm sure these will be very useful." | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
We started on the list straightaway. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
It said... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
"Please tell the children to be careful if you go to the park." | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
BRANCH CREAKS, THEY GIGGLE | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
"Don't let them go near the edge of the pond, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
"or get themselves too dirty." | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
SPLAT! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
"They can have an ice cream, but just one each. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
"They already have plenty of toys... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
"..and don't let them pester you for sweets. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
"The children will need some quiet time, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
"so they don't get overexcited." | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
KIDS CHATTER | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
"Make sure they help you with keeping the house clean... | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
"and tidy... | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
"and neat. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
"For dinner, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
"they can choose what to have, as long as it's something sensible." | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
SLURP! CRUNCH! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
"They are allowed ONE story before bedtime, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
"but absolutely no television." | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
THEY SNORE | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
"And don't let them stay up too late." | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
The next day, Mum and Dad were coming home, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
so we got the house ready for them. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
GIGGLE! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
"I hope they've been good?" asked Mum. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
"Good as gold," said Aunt Amelia. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
"Were the instructions helpful?" asked Dad. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
"Very," said Aunt Amelia. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Mum and Dad asked if we would like Aunt Amelia | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
to come and look after us again sometime. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
"Yes, please!" we said. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
"And perhaps you could write another list." | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
That story was called Aunt Amelia. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
It looked as if Aunt Amelia misunderstood the list. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
Perhaps she just liked being naughty. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Either way, I think the children had a lot of fun with her, don't you? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
I hope you've had a lot of fun today. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
It's your bedtime right now, so I'll say goodnight. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
I'll be back soon with another bedtime story. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
Sweet dreams. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 |
