TRAIN TOOTS

0:00:400:00:42

All aboard the Story Train!

0:00:420:00:45

-Tweet, tweet, tweet.

-Twinkle has been looking for our friends.

0:00:450:00:49

Who has she found?

0:00:490:00:52

Look, there's Hip.

0:00:520:00:53

And where there's a Hip, there's always a Hop.

0:00:530:00:57

They're drawing pictures.

0:00:570:00:59

-I wonder what they're drawing?

-Look, there's the Vrooms' carriage.

0:00:590:01:03

I can't see them. Where are they?

0:01:030:01:06

Yes, you're right, it's Hip and Hop.

0:01:060:01:09

Maybe they'll know where the Vrooms are. Let's go and ask, shall we?

0:01:090:01:14

Hello, Hip and Hop.

0:01:170:01:18

Hi, Driver Dan. Hi, Twinkle.

0:01:180:01:21

We're drawing all the favourite places we can think of.

0:01:210:01:24

Look, we've already drawn our carriage.

0:01:240:01:27

Good drawing, Hop.

0:01:270:01:29

-Where are the Vrooms?

-They went off to practise their racing moves.

0:01:290:01:33

I'm going to draw another place, somewhere perfect.

0:01:330:01:37

-Somewhere perfect, eh? What would that be like?

-I'll show you.

0:01:370:01:41

Somewhere quiet, with nice soft grass

0:01:410:01:45

and two trees to sit under. See?

0:01:450:01:48

That does look like a perfect place.

0:01:480:01:51

Oh, no, my perfect place would be a big hill to zoom down

0:01:510:01:57

and a big bump to jump over.

0:01:570:01:59

Now, that's perfect.

0:02:010:02:02

I think my place is more perfect than yours.

0:02:020:02:06

Let's find them and see.

0:02:060:02:09

-Yeah!

-I'm going to find mine first.

0:02:090:02:13

Come on, Twinkle, let's follow them. Maybe we'll find the Vrooms.

0:02:130:02:18

Maybe it's around here somewhere.

0:02:180:02:21

Hooray! That looks like my drawing.

0:02:210:02:24

It does, doesn't it?

0:02:240:02:25

Ah, nice and quiet. What do you think, Hop?

0:02:290:02:33

It's OK.

0:02:330:02:34

< Vroom, vroom.

0:02:340:02:36

-Oh, no!

-That's more like it.

0:02:360:02:39

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

0:02:390:02:43

-Hello, Vrooms.

-Vroom, vroom. Peep, peep.

0:02:430:02:47

This is definitely not my perfect place, Driver Dan.

0:02:470:02:51

No, it's not very quiet or peaceful, is it?

0:02:510:02:54

-What about you, Hop, did you find your perfect place?

-No.

0:02:540:02:58

Can we go on the Story Train to look, Driver Dan?

0:02:580:03:02

Good idea, let's go.

0:03:020:03:05

Do you want to come and help us look too, Vrooms?

0:03:050:03:08

-Peep, peep.

-Come on, then.

0:03:080:03:10

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

-Tweet, tweet, tweet.

0:03:100:03:16

Are you ready too? Then let's go!

0:03:160:03:18

All aboard the Story Train.

0:03:180:03:21

I wonder what Twinkle can see? Can you help her look?

0:03:280:03:32

There's Tallulah.

0:03:320:03:34

She's taking photos.

0:03:340:03:36

You're right, it is Tallulah.

0:03:360:03:39

Let's go and see what she's taking pictures of.

0:03:390:03:44

Of course, the play park,

0:03:460:03:49

with big hills to zoom down and bumps to jump over.

0:03:490:03:53

-This is definitely my perfect place.

-I think you're right, Hop.

0:03:530:03:57

Come on, Vrooms, let's race around my perfect place.

0:03:570:04:02

Hello, Tallulah.

0:04:020:04:04

-Hi, Tallulah.

-(Hello, everyone.)

0:04:040:04:07

(Why are you whispering?)

0:04:070:04:09

(I'm trying to take a picture of this butterfly,

0:04:090:04:13

(but it flies away every time it hears a noise.)

0:04:130:04:17

-Whee!

-Vroom, vroom! Peep, peep!

0:04:170:04:19

Shush!

0:04:190:04:22

Oh, no, not again!

0:04:220:04:25

Hop, Vrooms, please, can you be quieter?

0:04:250:04:28

Vroom, vroom.

0:04:280:04:30

I'm trying to take a picture of a butterfly,

0:04:300:04:33

and too much noise makes it fly away.

0:04:330:04:35

Whoops, sorry, Tallulah.

0:04:350:04:38

Oh, this isn't my perfect place.

0:04:380:04:41

It's too quiet now.

0:04:410:04:42

-So, what do we do?

-I don't know.

0:04:420:04:46

What do you think makes your places perfect?

0:04:460:04:49

Er, the quiet.

0:04:490:04:52

Lots of space to run around.

0:04:520:04:54

Look closely, what's the same in both pictures?

0:04:540:04:57

-The trees.

-The sky.

0:04:570:05:01

Yes, but what else?

0:05:010:05:04

-Well, Hip's in both pictures.

-And so is Hop.

0:05:040:05:07

And where there's a Hip...

0:05:070:05:09

-There's always a Hop.

-That's right.

0:05:090:05:13

-Yeah!

-Our perfect place is anywhere we're together.

-Together.

0:05:130:05:18

Wait, shush, look.

0:05:180:05:21

The butterfly. Everyone, keep nice and quiet.

0:05:210:05:25

Got it, thanks, everyone.

0:05:280:05:32

I know the perfect place for everyone to go to together,

0:05:320:05:36

Story Corner.

0:05:360:05:38

ALL: Yeah!

0:05:380:05:39

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

0:05:390:05:43

-Tweet, tweet, tweet.

-Are you ready too? Then, let's go.

0:05:430:05:47

All aboard the Story Train.

0:05:470:05:51

We're going to have a story.

0:05:510:05:53

I love stories.

0:05:530:05:55

I hope it's a funny story.

0:05:550:05:57

Vroom, vroom.

0:06:070:06:08

Now then, what story shall we read today?

0:06:080:06:11

Something that's just perfect.

0:06:110:06:15

Ah-ha, I know just the book.

0:06:150:06:18

-Is everybody settled down, ready to listen?

-Ready!

-Yeah!

0:06:180:06:22

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

-We're ready.

0:06:220:06:26

This story is called Gigantic Jules.

0:06:260:06:30

It was written by Benjamin James, with pictures by Tom Plant.

0:06:300:06:34

It was a busy morning at Al's Diner.

0:06:340:06:38

Gigantic Jules, the gigantosaurus, was slurping through

0:06:380:06:42

her ginormous breakfast when she spotted a group of mean grouchosaurs

0:06:420:06:46

picking on a little dinosaur.

0:06:460:06:49

Jules strode over and bent down.

0:06:490:06:51

"You're putting me off my prehistoric pancakes," she growled.

0:06:510:06:55

"Pick on someone your own size!"

0:06:550:06:58

"Ah, help!" And they sped straight out of the door.

0:06:580:07:01

The grouchosaurs are not very nice.

0:07:010:07:05

No, they're not, are they, Tallulah?

0:07:050:07:07

"Phew, thanks," said the little dinosaur, whose name was Mike.

0:07:070:07:12

"Let me know any time you need a hand, I'll be happy to help."

0:07:120:07:17

"Tee-hee-hee!" hooted Jules.

0:07:170:07:19

"A little thing like you help a giant like me? Oh, you're so funny!

0:07:190:07:25

"Keep telling the jokes and let me buy you a herbiburger."

0:07:250:07:29

From that moment on, Jules the gigantosaurus

0:07:290:07:32

and Mike the microceratops became the best of friends.

0:07:320:07:36

They'd go fruit picking together.

0:07:360:07:39

They'd go to the Dinoball tournaments together.

0:07:390:07:42

On sunny days, they'd find a splendid spot for splashing

0:07:420:07:46

and sunbathing.

0:07:460:07:47

Do you think that is their perfect place?

0:07:470:07:51

Yes, I do, Hop.

0:07:510:07:53

One morning, Mike set off to meet Jules,

0:07:530:07:56

but his friend was nowhere to be seen.

0:07:560:07:59

He'd checked the Jurassic Gym and tried the Triassic playground

0:07:590:08:03

when he heard a moaning coming from deep in the forest.

0:08:030:08:07

-Oh, dear.

-Mike cautiously crept between the dark trees.

0:08:070:08:12

He was a bit scared, but he knew his big friend might be in trouble.

0:08:120:08:16

He followed the sound deeper until, at last, he spotted Jules.

0:08:160:08:21

Her foot was caught in a creeper,

0:08:210:08:24

but although Jules was big and strong, the tight little knot

0:08:240:08:28

was much too tiny for her enormous claws to undo.

0:08:280:08:31

She was stuck.

0:08:310:08:33

"Don't worry," said Mike,

0:08:330:08:35

and his small hands deftly untangled the tricky knot.

0:08:350:08:40

In no time, Jules was free.

0:08:400:08:43

"Wow, Mike, You may be mini, but you're massively clever!

0:08:430:08:47

"I can't believe you managed to undo that horrible knot and rescue me.

0:08:470:08:53

"You're my hero!"

0:08:530:08:54

Mike felt ten feet tall.

0:08:540:08:57

"Don't mention it," he said, beaming.

0:08:570:09:00

"Now," said Jules, as Mike hopped onto her shoulder,

0:09:000:09:04

"who's for some fossil fries and a swamp smoothie?"

0:09:040:09:08

"Me!" cheered Mike. "And you'd better make mine a large!"

0:09:080:09:13

The End.

0:09:130:09:14

Well, did you enjoy that story?

0:09:140:09:17

Yes, Driver Dan. Jules and Mike had more fun when they were together.

0:09:170:09:22

Now, it's your turn, which bit did you like best?

0:09:220:09:25

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

0:09:250:09:28

-Mmm!

-These pancakes are delicious!

0:09:300:09:33

I'm a gigantic dinosaur. Roar!

0:09:330:09:37

Quick, run away, run away!

0:09:370:09:39

We're swimming and splashing.

0:09:390:09:41

The water's lovely.

0:09:410:09:43

Splash, splash, splash.

0:09:430:09:45

(We're creeping through the scary forest.)

0:09:450:09:49

(It's a bit dark.)

0:09:490:09:50

-We're looking for Jules.

-There she is!

0:09:500:09:54

Let's spin, like Jules and Mike.

0:09:540:09:57

Come on, let's go back to the diner.

0:09:570:10:00

That's the biggest burger ever.

0:10:000:10:03

-Yum, yum!

-Thanks for showing me the story. You were great.

0:10:030:10:07

We enjoyed that story, didn't we?

0:10:070:10:10

Jules was gigantic, but she needed little Mike's help, didn't she?

0:10:100:10:15

Yeah! And Mike and Jules had a perfect place.

0:10:150:10:18

Just like ours, perfect when they're together.

0:10:180:10:22

Glad you enjoyed the story, everyone. All aboard!

0:10:220:10:25

All aboard the Story Train.

0:10:250:10:28

Bye, everyone.

0:10:280:10:30

It's time to go, but let's come back soon, because we all love stories!

0:10:300:10:36

-Bye, Driver Dan.

-Bye.

0:10:360:10:40

I like stories about dinosaurs.

0:10:460:10:49

I love all kinds of stories.

0:10:490:10:51

I like stories about scary forests.

0:10:510:10:55

I like stories that make me giggle.
