CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Now, let's see, Duck, yes, you're here.

Sheep, yes. Pig, yes. Cow, yes. Good.

Oh, hello. I'm Warwick.

I'm making sure I've got everyone and everything

ready for tonight's bedtime story.

We need a duck, a sheep, a pig and a cow.

Oh, and also a tool kit.

I think it's got all the tools I shall need.

Mmm, I did need some paint, though.

Well, I can fetch that at the end of the story.

What do I need all of them for?

I need them to help Duck, who's on a special mission.

He's got an amazing design, but what for?

Let's find out.

The story is by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin

and it's called Thump, Quack, Moo: A Whacky Adventure.

It's almost time for the annual Corn Maze Festival.

Farmer Brown is very excited.

This year he's making a Statue Of Liberty Corn Maze.

He's going to need help to get everything ready on time.

The chickens do not want to help.

"I'll let you use my hammers," says Farmer Brown.

The chickens are now building the fence around the corn field.

"Cluck", whack, "cluck", whack, "cluck", whack!

The chickens are very excited.

The cows do not want to help.

"I'll let you use my paint brushes," said Farmer Brown.

The cows are now giving the barn a fresh coat of paint.

"Moo", thwack, "moo", thwack, "moo", thwack!

The cows are now excited.

Duck never wants to help.

"No help," said Farmer Brown to Duck,

"no more special order organic duck feed for you."

Duck is now building the ticket stand for the hot air balloon ride.

"Thump, quack, thump, quack, thump, quack!"

Duck is still not excited.

The mice are taking a correspondence course on meteorology

and are too busy to lend a hand.

The air is filled with the busy sounds of the farm.

"Cluck", whack, thwack, thump!

The mice keep an eye on the weather.

Farmer Brown is busy too.

Everyday he gets out his sketch book, graph paper, art supplies and mower.

He sketches a little,

measures a little,

counts a little

and cuts.

Farmer Brown wants it perfect.

Every night, Duck sneaks into the corn field,

he brings his sketch book,

graph paper, art supplies and hedge clippers.

He also brings his night vision goggles and glow in the dark ruler.

Then he sketches a little, measures a little, counts a little

and cuts.

He's a little excited now.

The preparations continue day after day.

"Cluck", thwack, whack, thump!

The mice keep an eye on the weather.

It is the day before the annual Corn Maze Festival.

For the last time, Farmer Brown gets out his sketch book, graph paper,

art supplies and mower.

He sketches a little, measures a little, counts a little and cuts.

The Statue Of Liberty Corn Maze is finished.

He is too excited to sleep.

Duck sneaks into the corn field for the last time.

He brings his sketch book, graph paper,

art supplies and hedge clippers.

He also brings his night vision goggles and glow in the dark ruler.

Then he sketches a little, measures a little, counts a little and cuts.

He's too excited to sleep.

It is time for the Corn Maze Festival opening ceremony.

The chickens are not allowed to use the hammers anymore.

The barn in not quite what Farmer Brown had in mind.

The ticket stand has a slight design flaw

but all Farmer Brown cares about is the Corn Maze.

He pays five dollars and hops into the hot air balloon.

At last he will see his masterpiece from above.

Duck also pays five dollars and hops into the hot air balloon.

At last he will see his masterpiece from above.

Duck is really excited now.

"Geronimo!"

And that story was called

Thump, Quack, Moo: A Whacky Adventure.

Wasn't Duck clever, cutting his own shape into the corn field?

But I don't think Farmer Brown was very pleased.

Maybe I could design something for Farmer Brown instead.

And while I do, it's time for you to go to bed.

I'll see you soon for another story. Night, night.

Now, what can I make with this,

let's get some tools here.

I need a hammer.
