0:39:02 > 0:39:05CBeebies Bedtime Story.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Oh, hello! I'm Bernard.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Do you know how tall you are?

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Well, looking here,

0:39:18 > 0:39:20I'm taller than Pui,

0:39:20 > 0:39:23but I'm not as tall as Andy.

0:39:23 > 0:39:28But I'm not sure how tall that makes me.

0:39:29 > 0:39:34I wonder what it would be like to be REALLY tall and big.

0:39:34 > 0:39:38I mean, you'd be able to see over everyone's heads

0:39:38 > 0:39:40and see everything that's far away.

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Yes, but it might be difficult getting through doors.

0:39:44 > 0:39:49Well, there's someone quite tall in tonight's bedtime story.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51It's called Mr Big.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Let me tell you a story about a friend of mine.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58He goes by the name of Big.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Mr Big.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04Now, Mr Big had a small problem.

0:40:04 > 0:40:09Compared to everyone else, he was extremely BIG!

0:40:12 > 0:40:15He was so big that whenever he went anywhere,

0:40:15 > 0:40:17that was all anyone saw.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20Someone big and scary.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25No-one stuck around to find out who he really was.

0:40:25 > 0:40:31So, inside, Mr Big felt very, very small.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33And that's how it always was.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36When Mr Big went to the cafe,

0:40:36 > 0:40:39everyone had other things to do.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41When Mr Big got on the bus,

0:40:41 > 0:40:43everyone else got off.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47And when he went to the pool, well, let's just say

0:40:47 > 0:40:52everyone needed to be somewhere else.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54No-one ever saw the real Mr Big.

0:40:56 > 0:41:02One day, Mr Big noticed a piano in a shop window.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05It looked all alone, just like him.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08So he bought it and took it home.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13As Mr Big sat alone at the piano,

0:41:13 > 0:41:17he thought of the many things that made him sad.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21And then, he played.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25His music drifted out through the open window

0:41:25 > 0:41:27and into the evening sky.

0:41:28 > 0:41:32It drifted across the rooftops, over to his neighbours,

0:41:32 > 0:41:37and they wondered who was playing such beautiful music.

0:41:38 > 0:41:41The word spread and night after night

0:41:41 > 0:41:44everyone came from all over town

0:41:44 > 0:41:47and still no-one knew who was playing.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49It was a big mystery.

0:41:50 > 0:41:54But inside, Mr Big was still alone.

0:41:56 > 0:41:57And then, one morning,

0:41:57 > 0:42:02Mr Big received his first ever letter.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06It was an invitation and it said,

0:42:06 > 0:42:09"Dear Mystery Pianist,

0:42:09 > 0:42:12"Thank you for your beautiful music.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16"Everyone's been listening to you for weeks

0:42:16 > 0:42:19"and we're all wondering one thing.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22"Who are you?

0:42:22 > 0:42:24"We'd love to meet you.

0:42:24 > 0:42:29"Me and a couple of the guys are playing tonight at the Blue Note.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33"Please come and join our band.

0:42:33 > 0:42:34"See you later?

0:42:35 > 0:42:36"A friend."

0:42:38 > 0:42:42That night, Mr Big joined the band.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45All night long the joint was jumping!

0:42:45 > 0:42:48And nobody wanted to leave.

0:42:48 > 0:42:53At last everyone could see the real Mr Big.

0:42:54 > 0:42:58Now that the Big Band has hit the Big Time,

0:42:58 > 0:43:00everyone wants to meet them.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05Mr Big has a new problem.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08He doesn't get much time to be alone.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11And that's just the way he likes it.

0:43:13 > 0:43:17And that story was called Mr Big.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20Ah! And now there's just time

0:43:20 > 0:43:24for me to hear Mr Big and his friends

0:43:24 > 0:43:25at the Blue Note tonight.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28So, I'll say good night

0:43:28 > 0:43:32and I'll see you again soon for another story.

0:43:32 > 0:43:33Goodbye.
