0:00:07 > 0:00:08Hello, I'm Tom.

0:00:08 > 0:00:14There is a mysterious hole in the garden in tonight's bedtime story.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18Shall we find out if there's anything hiding inside it?

0:00:18 > 0:00:19Good.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24This story is called The Something, and it's by Rebecca Cobb.

0:00:26 > 0:00:31Underneath the cherry tree in our garden, there's a little hole.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36We found it one day when I bounced my ball, and it didn't bounce back.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39I lay on my tummy and peered in...

0:00:40 > 0:00:43..but I couldn't see anything.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Then I sat very still...

0:00:47 > 0:00:50..and watched quietly for a long time.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54I don't know what it is,

0:00:54 > 0:00:57but I'm sure there must be something down there.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02I tried to reach for my ball but my arms are not long enough,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Mum's arms are not long enough either,

0:01:05 > 0:01:06and Dad won't try.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11Mum says the hole might be a doorway into a little mouse's house.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14MICE SQUEAK

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Dad wishes I would leave the hole alone.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19He thinks it could be full of frogs...

0:01:19 > 0:01:21FROGS CROAK ..and he doesn't like frogs.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27My sister says there is probably a troll living down there.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31She says I'd better leave it some food, otherwise it will get hungry

0:01:31 > 0:01:34and come out and eat me.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36I showed the hole to my friends,

0:01:36 > 0:01:39they've all got different ideas about it.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44But my best friend says it's definitely a dragon's den.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49He knows this because he has a dragon living in his garden.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51"Sorry!"

0:01:53 > 0:01:58I told Grandma and Grandpa about the dragon but they didn't believe me.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Grandma says it's much more likely to be a mole,

0:02:01 > 0:02:04and Grandpa thinks it's a badger.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07My dog is very good at guarding the hole.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I think he even dreams about it.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14I am pleased that something has chosen our garden to live in.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18I don't know what it is, but I'm going to keep watching,

0:02:18 > 0:02:19and waiting...

0:02:22 > 0:02:23..just in case.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31That story was called The Something. I hope you enjoyed it.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35What do you think was living down the hole?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38It's your bedtime now, so I'll say goodnight.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41See you soon for another bedtime story.
