0:00:02 > 0:00:05- TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS - All aboard!
0:00:14 > 0:00:19- Hello, everyone.- Hello, Driver Dan.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30# Which of our friends are we going to see?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33# Which of our friends do you think it will be?
0:00:33 > 0:00:37# Climb aboard and travel with me
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# All aboard the Story Train. #
0:00:40 > 0:00:44All aboard the Story Train!
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Twinkle, have you spotted someone? I can't see who it is. Can you?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56'What was that?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59'It's a ball! It's bouncing!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01'Whose ball is it?
0:01:01 > 0:01:06'Oh, it's Loopy's. He's heading a ball.'
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Well done, you were right. It IS Loopy.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14'Yeah, I saw his curly loops.'
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Hi, Loopy. That's a lovely new b... - BANG!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Oh, dear.- My new ball!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I was getting really good at heading it too!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Don't worry, Loopy, I'll fix it later.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Why don't we hop on the Story Train now?
0:01:31 > 0:01:37That's a good idea, Dan. We can go to Story Corner. Boing! Boing!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Are you ready, too? Then, let's go!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45'All aboard the Story Train!'
0:01:45 > 0:01:52Twinkle has spotted someone up ahead. Who do you think it might be?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56'Look. It's another ball.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59'No, it's not. They're balloons.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02'Whose balloons are they?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06'It's Tallulah. Millie and Lily too.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08'They're playing with balloons!'
0:02:11 > 0:02:17Hey, it's Twinkle! Hurray! The Story Train is here! ..Hi, Twinkle.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22And Loopy too. Hi, Dan. Hi, Loopy.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yeah! Come back! Come back!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Ha-ha-ha! Yeah! Oh, yeah! Balloons!
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Did you see us, Dan?- I did, Lily. It looked like great fun.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I've got an idea to make it even more fun.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Ooh! What is it?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I know. It's not blown up.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Tallulah, would you help Loopy with the balloon while I fix the ball?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- No problem.- Thanks, Dan!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Yeah! Oh!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59May I have it a bit bigger, please?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh! Bigger!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Mind it doesn't go pop!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07That's too much blowing! It'll burst!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11It won't. It can go bigger than that. Look.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13LOOPY BLOWS HARD
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Oh, no! It'll go bang!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Too much! No!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Hah! Look at that!
0:03:27 > 0:03:32No, Loopy! That's too big! Oh, it's dangerous!
0:03:32 > 0:03:38- You look like you might float away, Loopy.- Hey-hey! Watch this!
0:03:38 > 0:03:411, 2, 3, 4, 5...
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Loopy! Don't burst it!
0:03:45 > 0:03:481, 2, 3, 4, 5...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50BOTH: Stop! Careful, Loopy!
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Loopy...!
0:03:51 > 0:03:55ALL: Loopy!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Oh...
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Oh, no, did you see that?
0:04:00 > 0:04:06- 'Oh, no! The balloon's floated away! - Oh, no! Loopy's glasses!'
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Loopy! Your glasses!
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- The wind is blowing the balloon and glasses away!- Oh, no, Dan!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16My glasses! I can't see properly without my glasses!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I won't see the book at Story Corner!
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Quickly! All aboard, everyone! We must try and get Loopy's glasses!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28All aboard, all aboard!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Quick! Let's hurry. Are you ready?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34'All aboard the Story Train! Follow those glasses!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38'Hurry, Dan! Catch that balloon!'
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- It's that way! - No, that way!
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Right! Right! The wind's blowing this way!
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- Left!- That's it! ..That's right.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55No, I mean left! No, right!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Faster!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01The wind is blowing the balloon towards Story Corner!
0:05:01 > 0:05:05We'll HAVE to catch it before Story Corner! Hurry, Driver Dan!
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- I don't want to lose them. - There's only one thing for it.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Go on, Twinkle, you go for it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16POP!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Wow! Brilliant, Dan! Hurray!
0:05:21 > 0:05:27- How about that?- 'That was really clever! Good catch, Driver Dan.'
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- There you are, Loopy! - Thanks, Driver Dan!
0:05:32 > 0:05:36And thanks, Twinkle! You were really brave!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Yes, well done, Twinkle. Perfect timing, too!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Here we are at Story Corner. - Hurray!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Story time! Story Corner!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Phew! That was a fast ride to Story Corner!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I think a story will calm us down.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yes, please! One about balloons!
0:06:00 > 0:06:05I was thinking maybe... Ah-ha! I know JUST the book.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10There. A big book is perfect for today's story.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Is everyone settled down and ready to listen?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Yeah! Story time!
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- And all of you, sitting down, comfy and ready to listen?- 'Ready, Dan!'
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I can see it really well with my glasses.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27This story is called Ben's Birthday.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33It was written by George Tarry and the pictures are by James Wilson.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Ben's birthday had been wonderful.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Look at all the food!
0:06:39 > 0:06:45As his mum tucked him up in bed, he chatted happily about his party.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Lots of balloons, all his friends playing games, the lovely food
0:06:50 > 0:06:55and his favourite - the train birthday cake with five candles.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01"Oh! I wish I could have a birthday every day!" Ben sighed.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05The next day was Ben's birthday again.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09He had a wonderful party with all his friends playing games
0:07:09 > 0:07:13and lovely food and a train birthday cake with six candles.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17But there wasn't time to blow up all the balloons.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20The next day was Ben's birthday again!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23He had a wonderful party with lovely food
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and a train cake with seven candles,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but there was no time to blow up all the balloons
0:07:29 > 0:07:32and his friends were all too busy to come.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36The next day was Ben's birthday again.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41And he had a party with lovely food and a train cake,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43but there was no time to blow up all the balloons,
0:07:43 > 0:07:48his friends were too busy to come and none of his clothes fitted now.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53What he really wanted to eat was a banana, not more cake!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57The next day was Ben's birthday again.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01He had a party, but he didn't want the lovely food.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Looking at the train cake made him feel very unwell.
0:08:05 > 0:08:11"I don't want a birthday every day," said Ben, blowing out his candles.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15"I wish I didn't have a birthday EVERY day."
0:08:15 > 0:08:19The next day when Ben woke up, his mum said,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23"How does it feel to be five? Do you feel any bigger?"
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Ben pulled on his favourite T-shirt.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29"Only a little bit bigger," he laughed.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33"And Mum, for breakfast, may I just have a banana?"
0:08:33 > 0:08:37The end. Well, what a big story.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Did you enjoy it?- I thought I'd like a birthday every day too!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44But now I'm not so sure.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I liked watching Ben get bigger and bigger. That was fun.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Which bit did YOU like best?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Come on, it's time to show me the story.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Let's count Ben's candles.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03One, two, three, four, five.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Let's blow out all the candles!
0:09:07 > 0:09:13It's my birthday again! I'm getting really big now.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Look at all the party food! Lots and lots of cake!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I'm going to eat some cake.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23And jelly too!
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I'm eating birthday cake. Lots of it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32We're all at the party! I love parties!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well done, everyone, that was a lot of fun!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41We could save these balloons for a party!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Just like the party Ben had!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Ah! Ben would have liked that.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51There was never enough time to blow up the balloons at all his parties.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Yes. All those parties were never as much fun as one special one.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58To you, Driver Dan!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Loopy, do you want me to blow up the ball
0:10:02 > 0:10:05and make it much bigger like the balloon?
0:10:05 > 0:10:11No, thanks, Driver Dan. I think the ball is big enough and just right.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Ha-ha-ha!
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Glad you enjoyed the story, and what a journey we had to Story Corner.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23But now it's time to go. All aboard!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26'All aboard the Story Train!'
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Bye, everyone. It's time to go.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34But let's come back soon because we all love stories!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36'Bye, Driver Dan! Bye!'
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I like stories about puppies!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I like ones with noises!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I like bedtime stories!
