0:27:06 > 0:27:08Hello. I'm Kacey.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Are you really good at something?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14I'm good at jumping in puddles.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18And I'm quite good at making daisy chains to give to my friends.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23But I'm not as good at building as Winston in tonight's bedtime story.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28The story is called What Friends Do Best.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Winston was great at building things.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35He was always building something for somebody.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38He had built a car for himself,

0:27:38 > 0:27:41a boat for Alice and a motorbike for Ralph.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44He had built them all by himself.

0:27:44 > 0:27:50"Building things is what I do best," said Winston proudly.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51And everyone agreed.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55One morning Ralph and Alice popped round and found Winston

0:27:55 > 0:27:59in his workshop looking very pleased with himself.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03"I'm going to build something big!" Winston told them.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06And he showed them a drawing.

0:28:06 > 0:28:10"That is REALLY big!" said Alice.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13"Are you sure you can build it all by yourself?"

0:28:13 > 0:28:15"Of course," said Winston.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17"Building things is what I do best."

0:28:17 > 0:28:21The next morning three trucks arrived

0:28:21 > 0:28:24and delivered hundreds of bits and pieces.

0:28:24 > 0:28:29Some of the bits were very large and difficult to carry.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34"Can I help?" asked Ralph. "I'm good at carrying large things."

0:28:34 > 0:28:36"It's all right," said Winston.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39"I can do it myself."

0:28:39 > 0:28:43But some of the bits were so large that Winston couldn't carry them.

0:28:43 > 0:28:49The next day Winston started sorting through the smaller pieces.

0:28:49 > 0:28:54Some of the pieces were very tiny and difficult to find.

0:28:56 > 0:29:01"Can I help?" asked Alice. "I'm good at finding small things."

0:29:01 > 0:29:06"It's all right," said Winston, "I can do it myself."

0:29:06 > 0:29:08But some of the pieces were so tiny

0:29:08 > 0:29:11that Winston couldn't find them at all.

0:29:13 > 0:29:14A week went by,

0:29:14 > 0:29:18and Alice and Ralph began to get very worried.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21They hadn't seen Winston for days.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25"He's never taken so long to build anything before," said Ralph.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29"He's never built anything that big before," said Alice.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32"Let's make sure that he's all right."

0:29:32 > 0:29:36They found Winston sitting on the floor of his workshop,

0:29:36 > 0:29:40surrounded by all the bits and pieces.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Everything looked much the same as it had done a week ago,

0:29:43 > 0:29:47except Winston, who looked very miserable.

0:29:47 > 0:29:52"Winston?" said Alice, "What's the matter?"

0:29:52 > 0:29:54"Everything!" said Winston.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57"Look at all these bits and pieces.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00"Half of them are too large to carry,

0:30:00 > 0:30:03"and the other half are too small to find."

0:30:03 > 0:30:06"So you haven't built anything?" said Ralph.

0:30:06 > 0:30:10"No," said Winston, bursting into tears.

0:30:10 > 0:30:15"And building things is supposed to be what I do best."

0:30:15 > 0:30:20"It's just as well we're here, then," said Ralph.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23"Yes!" said Alice. "Where can we start?"

0:30:23 > 0:30:28"Don't bother!" said Winston. "I'll never build it."

0:30:28 > 0:30:30"Nonsense!" insisted Alice.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32"All you need is a little help."

0:30:32 > 0:30:38Alice sorted through the small pieces and found the right ones,

0:30:38 > 0:30:42and Ralph carried the large bits to where they needed to be.

0:30:42 > 0:30:48And after a while Winston got up and started building,

0:30:48 > 0:30:52which after all was what he did best.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56They worked all day and all night,

0:30:56 > 0:30:59and, bit by bit, piece by piece,

0:30:59 > 0:31:03they put it together, together.

0:31:03 > 0:31:04Until...

0:31:04 > 0:31:06it was done!

0:31:06 > 0:31:11"You see, Winston?" said Ralph, as they zoomed upward.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15"Building things really IS what you do best."

0:31:15 > 0:31:19"But I couldn't have done it without your help," said Winston.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23"Well," laughed Alice as she winked at Ralph,

0:31:23 > 0:31:26"helping is what friends do best."

0:31:27 > 0:31:30And that story was called What Friends Do Best.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Are you good at helping?

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Well, maybe tomorrow you can find a friend to help,

0:31:36 > 0:31:38but now it's time to go to bed.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Sleep tight, and I'll see you soon for another story.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47Now, I wonder who I can help tomorrow...
