0:09:06 > 0:09:11So, I've got one, two, three, four, five plates.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Perfect.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Oh, hello!

0:09:13 > 0:09:18My name's Warwick, I'm making sure I've got enough plates for tea.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21I need one for One, one for Two, one for Three,

0:09:21 > 0:09:23one for Four and one for me.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, don't you know One, Two, Three and Four?

0:09:26 > 0:09:30They're the friends in tonight's bedtime story

0:09:30 > 0:09:33and they all live together in the same house.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37But they're not sure if it's just where they want the house to be.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41The story is by Alex T Smith and is called

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Once There Was A House, A House That Was A Home.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Once there was a house, a house that was a home.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54And in the house that was a home lived four best friends.

0:09:54 > 0:09:59They were called One, Two, Three and Four.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04They lived happily ever after until One said,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06"Let's all move somewhere different.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09"We could be pirates and sail the seven seas."

0:10:09 > 0:10:12The others did not think this was a good idea.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17Two said, "I don't want to live on the sea, it's far too wet.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21"We should all live at the top of a mountain and learn to yodel."

0:10:21 > 0:10:24The others didn't like this idea either.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28Three sighed and said, "I don't like heights.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31"Let's all live underground in a dark, dark cave

0:10:31 > 0:10:34"and collect creepy crawlies."

0:10:34 > 0:10:37This idea made the others feel a bit itchy.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Four had other plans.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44"All those ideas are silly," he said in a very bossy voice.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47"We should move to the Big City and go to parties

0:10:47 > 0:10:49"and boogie-woogie all night long."

0:10:49 > 0:10:54The four friends didn't know what to do. First they talked,

0:10:54 > 0:10:56"Mmm, maybe, interesting point."

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Then they argued, then they fought.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03Finally they decided to go their separate ways.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08"If I'm going," they all shouted, "I'm taking the house with me!"

0:11:08 > 0:11:12One took the door and stormed off to the seaside.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Two took the walls and stomped off up a mountain.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Three took the windows and scurried off to a cave.

0:11:19 > 0:11:24Four picked up the floor and shuffled away to the Big City.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27All that was left was the roof.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32The four not-at-all-best-friends started their new lives

0:11:32 > 0:11:34and were very happy...at first.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37One became a pirate and sailed the seas

0:11:37 > 0:11:41but the sea was much bigger and wetter than he imagined.

0:11:41 > 0:11:46And worst of all, his house simply wasn't a home

0:11:46 > 0:11:48when it was just a door.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Two learned how to yodel, she yodelled and yodelled,

0:11:52 > 0:11:54but all she got back was an echo.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59And soon she realised that her house simply wasn't a home

0:11:59 > 0:12:01when it was just four walls.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06Three collected creepy crawlies in her underground cave.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10But she had to admit they weren't the most interesting company.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14And soon she found that her house simply wasn't a home

0:12:14 > 0:12:16when it was just some windows.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Four went to parties but he didn't know anyone,

0:12:20 > 0:12:22and the people weren't very friendly.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27It was as if they'd never seen a badger boogie-woogie before.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30And sure enough he quickly learned

0:12:30 > 0:12:35that a house simply wasn't a home when it was just a floor.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40All the not-so-best-friends were sad and lonely.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43They missed their house that was a home.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47But most of all they missed each other.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Something had to be done.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53"I'm sorry," said One.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55"Me too," said Two.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58"Me three," said Three.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01"Me four," said Four.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05The best-again-friends had a big hug

0:13:05 > 0:13:09and then set about fixing their house until it was a home once more.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12But they decided to add something new,

0:13:12 > 0:13:16something which meant they could all go to the seaside.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19They could all learn to yodel on top of a mountain

0:13:19 > 0:13:23and they could all collect bugs in the deepest, darkest caves,

0:13:23 > 0:13:27and they could all go to the poshest parties in the Big City.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31"Now we can go everywhere together!" They said.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33And they did.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39That story was called Once There Was A House, A House That Was A Home.

0:13:40 > 0:13:45Did you see what One, Two, Three and Four added to their house?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47That's right, wheels!

0:13:47 > 0:13:50So now they can go anywhere they want.

0:13:50 > 0:13:55Hopefully they'll be here in a minute for a mug of tea and some cake.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59So while I finish making the cakes it's time for you to go to bed

0:13:59 > 0:14:03and I'll see you soon for another story. Night, night.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Right, now I need to finish off this cake mix

0:14:06 > 0:14:09and then pop the cakes in the oven. There.
