0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello. I'm Nihal.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Have you ever had a baby-sitter?
0:00:11 > 0:00:12My kids have,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Auntie Ellie and akki Helen.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Akki means older sister.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19If you have, like my kids,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22I hope you didn't try to play tricks on them.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Like possibly my kids do.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Ria and Josh do, in tonight's bedtime story.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30It's called When Betsy Came To Babysit
0:00:30 > 0:00:35and it's by Elizabeth Dale with pictures by Zoe Waring.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40When Betsy came to babysit she said to Ria and Josh,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43"I don't know anything about baby-sitting."
0:00:43 > 0:00:46"Don't worry," said Ria,
0:00:46 > 0:00:52"We will tell you exactly what we do when we have a baby-sitter.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56"We always use Mummy's bubble bath to wash the cat.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02"We get out all our toys and stay up really, really late.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06"We go down our slide.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08"And swing on our swing.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12"We paint everywhere.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18"And we make a cake for Mum and Dad to show them that we love them.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22"We jump on our bouncy castle.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24"We dress up.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29"Then we make weird noises and scare ourselves silly.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33"Last of all, we eat ice cream
0:01:33 > 0:01:38"and tomato sauce before we go to sleep on the floor."
0:01:39 > 0:01:43"What fun!" said Betsy.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47"Now, shall I tell you what I will do?
0:01:48 > 0:01:54"I will use up all your felt tips and colour in all your books.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00"I will be far too busy eating your chocolates to read bedtime stories.
0:02:00 > 0:02:06"Then I will be so full that no-one can sit on my lap for a cuddle."
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Ria and Josh looked at Betsy.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Betsy looked at them.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19"Let's do something new tonight," they all said together.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So, they did.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27That story was called When Betsy Came To Babysit.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I think they made a very good decision.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34It would have been a shame not to have a bedtime story and a cuddle.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37But now, it's time for you to have a bedtime cuddle
0:02:37 > 0:02:42with someone you love before you say goodnight.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Sleep well.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45I'll see you soon.
