0:00:02 > 0:00:03All aboard!
0:00:06 > 0:00:09It's Driver Dan's Story Train!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Hello, everyone!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19CHILDREN: Hello, Driver Dan!
0:00:25 > 0:00:29# Which of our friends are we going to see?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33# Which of our friends do you think it will be?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36# Climb aboard and travel with me
0:00:36 > 0:00:40# All aboard the Story Train!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44# All aboard the Story Train! #
0:00:44 > 0:00:46TWINKLE TWEETS
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Twinkle, have you spotted someone?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I can't see who it is. Can you?
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- There's Tallulah.- There's Loopy too.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- What's that on the floor? - It looks like paper.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00PINK paper.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05It looks like paper shapes. Let's see what they are doing.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hi, Driver Dan.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Sweetie said she'd make us some ice lollies today
0:01:16 > 0:01:20so we want to make her a special paper shape as a thank-you present,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22but it's not easy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Look.- Um...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27That part is supposed to be the wheels
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and that is supposed to be the roof.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- It's um...- We know. It's nothing like Sweetie's carriage.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Perhaps I could help.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Thanks, Driver Dan, but there's a problem.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41There's only one piece of paper left.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46There's another problem - I only know how to make paper aeroplanes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49If I was Sweetie, I'd love a paper aeroplane.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Um, OK, yes. Let's do that.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Now fold down the middle. That's it.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Then fold in the corners. Yes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Oh, that looks really good already.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Now bend that half over, then the other half.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That's it. Now over and...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Ta-da! I've made a paper aeroplane.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16It's brilliant, Tallulah. Thanks, Driver Dan.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I think Sweetie's going to love it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21See if it'll fly. Go on. Go on.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24All right. I wonder what'll happen.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Where will it go? Ho ho.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Hmm, I can feel a little breeze. Let's try it out.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Wow!- Yes! It flies.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Where will it land?
0:02:36 > 0:02:41It's going up. The breeze is lifting the paper plane into the air.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That's like my loop the loopy-loop.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Oh, whee! Ha ha.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Oh, no. It's getting away.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52The breeze is blowing it away. It's going too fast.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Oh, dear. Now it's lost. We can't give it to Sweetie.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59There's only one thing for it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02We'll catch it on the Story Train. Hurry.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Let's go. We've got a plane to catch.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08CHILDREN: All aboard the Story Train.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Twinkle is looking for it, but can you see the plane?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- There it is.- Now it's gone.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- No, look. I see it.- That way!
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- LOOPY:- That way!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's going that way. We're losing it again.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34We've lost sight of the plane,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38but let's see if Sweetie saw where it went. Let's find it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Hi, Sweetie. We're trying to catch an aeroplane. Have you seen it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I made it to thank you for the lollies, but the wind blew it away.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58You made me an aeroplane?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's a paper aeroplane, not a real one. Ha ha.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03There it is.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06We tried catching it, but it's too high.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Not even- I- can jump that high.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Perhaps you should have made a paper pilot to fly it, Tallulah.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Do you know what I'm thinking? - TWINKLE CROWS
0:04:17 > 0:04:18ALL: Huh?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Go, Twinkle.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Oh, look.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Twinkle's flying the plane. She's being the pilot.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Come on, Twinkle. You can do it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40Pilot Twinkle. Hooray!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Pilot Twinkle is coming in to land.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Oh, I've had an idea.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51That's it, Twinkle. Left a bit.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Right a bit.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55She's a brilliant pilot.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00ALL: Hooray!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Lovely landing, Twinkle. Did you enjoy that?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06TWINKLE TWEETS
0:05:06 > 0:05:07I think that's a yes.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- This is for you, Sweetie.- Thank you, Tallulah. Thank you, Twinkle.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14These are for you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Oh, yes, please.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Mmm. Thank you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Thanks, Sweetie. These will taste great on...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Um, on my tongue? Ha ha.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29On the Story Train.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Loopy!- Story Train, yeah!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36We're all hooked up, Twinkle. Are we ready to go?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38TWINKLE TWEETS
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Mmm. Nice lolly. Are you ready too? Then let's go.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45CHILDREN: All aboard the Story Train.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49We're going to have a story.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51A flying story, that would be great.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53ALL: Yeah!
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Ha ha ha.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Wahey!- Wahey!
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Is everyone ready for a story after those lollies?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10ALL: Mmm, yes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Aha. I know just the book.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Is everybody settled down and ready to listen?
0:06:16 > 0:06:17ALL: We are.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21And you, sitting down comfy and ready to listen?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22ALL: Yes, Dan.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26This story is called Eesa On The Beach.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31It was written by Rukhsana Khan and the pictures are by Lauren Tobia.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Eesa stood with all his friends on the beach looking out at the water
0:06:35 > 0:06:38that stretched as far as his eyes could see.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42He asked his friends if they thought there was anyone else
0:06:42 > 0:06:43on the other side.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45"Maybe," they said.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49So he yelled, "Hello!" He thought he heard an answer,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53but his friends said it could have been the sound of the waves.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Or maybe it was a tiger. Roar-r-r!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01"I want to know what's out there," thought Eesa,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03so he stepped out into the water
0:07:03 > 0:07:06until it was nearly up to his middle,
0:07:06 > 0:07:11but his friends all shouted, "Oh, no. That's dangerous. Come back."
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So Eesa went back to the beach and his friends.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17"I want to know what's out there," he said.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21So he paced up and down and he thought.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Then he had an idea.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27He found a piece of paper and, whilst his friends watched,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30he drew a picture of his big, happy face on it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Then he folded the paper very carefully
0:07:33 > 0:07:37and soon he had something that looked like a boat
0:07:37 > 0:07:42and when he put it very gently on the water, it floated like a boat.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Eesa made a boat from paper like I made a plane from paper.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Eesa puffed out his cheeks and he blew and he blew.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Then he flapped his arms and all his friends flapped their arms
0:07:54 > 0:07:58until the little boat he had made started to float away
0:07:58 > 0:08:01far, far away across the water.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04He waited and wondered all the rest of the day.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08His friends all said there was nothing on the other side
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and the little boat was lost.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Just when he began to give up, he saw something bobbing on the water.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18It was very far away. He could not see what it was,
0:08:18 > 0:08:19but it looked white.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Oh, what is it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Finally, it came close enough
0:08:23 > 0:08:24for him to see
0:08:24 > 0:08:26that it was a little boat.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Was it HIS little boat?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30He could hardly wait.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It floated closer and closer
0:08:32 > 0:08:36and finally bumped right up against his toes on the sand.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37It WAS his boat.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42While all his friends watched excitedly, Eesa opened up the paper
0:08:42 > 0:08:46and there was the picture of his big, happy face.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Only now there was the shape of a heart drawn around it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Eesa and all his friends stood on the beach
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and looked out across the water
0:08:57 > 0:09:04and there, floating towards them were hundreds of little white boats.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06The end. Did you enjoy that story?
0:09:06 > 0:09:11I loved how the paper boat floated away in the water and disappeared.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Just like our paper aeroplane floated away in the air.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Although we only got one back. Eesa and his friends got hundreds.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22And now it's your turn. Which bit did you like best?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Come on, it's time to show me the story.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Who could be out there?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30BOTH: Hello.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Who's on the other side?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I wonder...
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Who could be out there?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Hello.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Hello.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Hello.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Hello.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51We're splashing in the water with Eesa.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Splash! Splash!
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Look there. There's loads and loads of boats.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01ALL: Hooray!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Well done, everyone. That was a lot of fun.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Eesa's boat went on a big adventure all the way across the water,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11but it found a friend on the other side.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Maybe when I fly my paper aeroplane, it will meet a faraway friend too.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Whee!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22ALL: Hooray!
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I'm glad you enjoyed the story, but now it's time to go. All aboard!
0:10:26 > 0:10:29CHILDREN: All aboard the Story Train.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Bye, everyone. It's time to go,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38but let's come back soon because we all love stories.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41CHILDREN: Bye, Driver Dan. Bye.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I like stories about birthdays.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I like stories about boats.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55My favourites are monster stories.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56I like giggly stories.
