Twinkle, have you spotted someone. Can you see who it is?

There!

-Oh, gone again.

-There!

Where?

It's Loopy. BOTH: Loopy!

He's bouncing on his trampoline.

It is Loopy, you're right.

And something's going on in Hip and Hop's carriage.

Let's see what everyone's doing.

Hi, Loopy, is everything all right?

-Hic! Hic!

-Oh!

Hi, Driver Dan. Hic! It's really hard to bounce with the hiccups.

I'm sure it is, Loopy. Why don't you play something less bouncy instead?

How about playing with Hip and Hop?

Yeah, I will!

But I'm waiting for them to come outside.

They've been making funny noises in their carriage. Hic!

'Hi, Loopy, is everything all right?' Huh?

Hello, Driver Dan. Hi, Loopy.

This is our new sound recorder.

Isn't it great?

Ha-ha! Hello, Hip and Hop.

A sound recorder, eh?

-Is that how I just heard myself speaking?

-Hic!

Yes, we recorded you. Press the red button and it starts recording.

BOTH: It's time, it's time, for a Hip and Hop rhyme.

The blue button stops recording.

Now we press the green button to play it back and hear the recording.

'It's time, it's time, for a Hip and Hop rhyme.'

That's brilliant!

Ha-ha! I know. Something's missing, though. It needs more sounds.

Er, how about some boinging?

Boing! Boing! Hic!

You're right, Loopy. Maybe you need a beat to add to it.

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba.

We DO need a beat!

But one that sounds a bit different.

-Hic!

-I'm sure you can find a different-sounding beat.

Something to rap along to. Then you could perform it to everyone.

-Yay, that would be great!

-Hic!

How could we make a different beat? Have you got any ideas?

-Er, by clapping.

-Or we could make noises like this.

-Boom-ch, boom-ch, boom-ch.

-Boom chaka boom!

Great ideas!

Have you tried making the beat yourselves by clapping or...?

I know, we need a drum. Have you got one, Driver Dan?

Sorry, no, I haven't.

Me neither. But there might be something else...

Hic! ..in my toy box you could use.

Good idea, Loop, thanks. I'll help you look.

Hic!

Have you tried holding your breath to get rid of those hiccups?

Yes... Hic! ..and I've tried standing upside down

and drinking a glass of water backwards.

-And that didn't work?

-No, I just got wet.

And all this bouncing hasn't worked either.

I think I'd better stop now.

Ohh!

Hic!

-Boo!

-Ha! What did you do that for?

A surprise cures the hiccups. See?

Hic! Oh, well, thanks for trying.

Did you find anything to make a beat with?

-No. Boo!

-Hic!

-SQUEAK! >

Was that you, Loopy? That was a very strange-sounding hiccup.

-No.

-SQUEAK! >

-Hello, Tallulah.

-Hi, Tallulah!

-Hic!

-Hello, everyone.

Have you got a drum? We need to make a beat.

-No, sorry.

-Hic!

-But I have got a noisy squeak.

I can't get rid of it. SQUEAK!

We're both making funny noises today, Tallulah. Hic!

Look in my carriage drawers and see it there's anything to make a beat

and I'll see if I can fix your wheel, Tallulah.

Ha-ha! Shame the Fix-O-Tron can't fix Loopy's hiccups too.

Oh, I know a very good cure for hiccups.

-BOO!

-Oh!

-Hic! Ohh!

-Sorry, Driver Dan, I didn't meant to make you jump.

-That was supposed to surprise Loopy.

-Hip and Hop already tried that

and I recorded it on this.

-'Hic!

-Boo!

-Ha! What did you do that for?'

Oh, can I be recorded too?

Driver Dan, can we record my squeak before you fix it?

-Ha-ha! OK, Tallulah.

-Hic!

-SQUEAK! SQUEAK!

'SQUEAK! SQUEAK!'

We can't find anything to make a beat with.

We won't be able to perform our rhyme!

-Ha-ha-ha! Hic!

-Hey, what's so funny?

We recorded my hiccups!

And my squeak. BOTH: What?!

We didn't know you'd been recording things.

-Oh-ho!

-Ah-ha!

You've given us a great idea.

Come on, Hip.

Boo!

COMMOTION

We would like to perform...

..the Hip and Hop hip-hop.

# It's time, it's time For a Hip and Hop rhyme

-# When we call your name

-Stop your game

# And jump on board the story train

# There's a big dinosaur With a hic not a roar

# And he's always seen on his trampoline

-# Hi, Loopy

-Loopy Loopy Loopy

# She's a four-legged friend With a nose that bends

# A cool elephant With a squeak in her beak

# Tallulah Tallulah Tallulah!

# Driver Dan and Twinkle It's their game

# If you like a good story Don't miss the Story Train. #

-Hurrah!

-Brilliant!

We didn't need a drum after all.

Thanks, Hip and Hop, that was fantastic!

Well, we're all hooked up. Twinkle, are we ready to go?

TWEET-TWEET!

And are you ready too?

-Then let's go!

-All aboard the Story Train!

-It's time for a story.

-I think it'll be a noisy story.

-All about a beat.

-I hope it's about lots of sounds.

TWEET-TWEET!

Who's ready for a story, then?

-Yes, please, Driver Dan.

-Me too!

Hey, my hiccups have gone!

We're all ready, Driver Dan.

I was thinking maybe...

Aha! I know just the book.

Is everyone settled down and ready to listen.

-Can I record the story, Driver Dan?

-Of course, Hip.

-And all of you, sitting down comfy and ready to listen?

-Ready, Dan.

This story is called Little Fish Is Oh So Quiet.

It was written by Anna Starkey and Katy George

and the pictures are by Tom Plant.

"Boom boom boom!" the boomer fish all boomed so loud.

The boom booms echo all around.

But Little Fish is oh so quiet and hardly ever makes a sound.

"Trumpety trump," go all the purple trumpet fish.

They trumpet low and trumpet high,

but Little Fish is oh so quiet and is really ever so shy.

"Squeaky squeak," the squeaker fish all squeaked so loud.

The squeaky squeaks echo all around.

But Little Fish is oh so quiet and hardly ever makes a sound.

The squeaker fish sound just like my squeaky wheel.

"Toot toot toot!" go all the yellow tootle fish.

They tootle low and tootle high.

But Little Fish is oh so quiet and is really ever so shy.

"Bip bop bip!" the bippety fish all bopped so loud.

The bip bops echo all around.

But Little Fish is oh so quiet and hardly ever makes a sound.

Oh, he's so quiet.

"Ping ping ping!" go all the pink, sparkly starfish.

They ping down low and ping up high.

But Little Fish is oh so quiet and is really ever so shy.

Oh!

"Boom boom boom!" from the boomer fish.

"Trumpety trumps!" each trumpet fish.

"Squeaky squeak!" go the squeaker fish.

"Toot toot toot!" It's the tootle fish.

"Bip bop!" add the bippety fish.

And then the starfish all go, "Ping!"

But Little Fish who's oh so quiet...

suddenly starts to dance and sing!

Hurrah!

The end. Did you all like the story?

ALL: Oh, yes!

All that noise under the sea. I thought fish were always quiet.

Ha-ha!

And now it's your turn. Which bit did you like best?

Come on, it's time to show me the story.

I'm being a boomer fish.

Boom boom boom!

Trumpety trumpety trumpety trump!

I'm being a trumpet fish.

Let's swim with the squeaker fish.

Squeak squeak squeak!

Squeak squeak!

Ssh! It's Little Fish.

Bippety boppety, bip bip, bop bop!

We're being bippety fish.

Let's wave with the starfish.

-It's Little Fish!

-Yeah!

Well done, you made lots of great sounds!

Thanks for showing me the story.

-Squeak!

-Boom boom!

-Bip bop!

Thanks for the story, Driver Dan, we liked the sounds under the sea.

All the fish made sounds again and again.

-And we all had fun on the Story Train.

-Ha-ha-ha!

Driver Dan, you did a Story Train rap!

Ha! It's fun, isn't it?

Glad you enjoyed the story, everyone, and all the sounds.

But now it's time to go. All aboard!

ALL: All aboard the Story Train!

TWEET-TWEET!

Bye, everyone, it's time to go.

But let's come back soon because we all love stories!

-Bye, Driver Dan!

-Bye!

TOOT-TOOT!

I like underwater stories.

I like mermaid stories.

-I like stories about frogs. Ribbet! Ribbet!

-Ribbet!
