0:01:49 > 0:01:53Yes. It is Sweetie. Look, and there's the cake!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Hello, Driver Dan.- Hi, Sweetie!
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Oh, wow! You've made the cake already! Can we eat it now?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Not yet, Loopy. I'm waiting for Tallulah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13She's bringing me some decorations to put on it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Well, is she coming soon?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Why don't we play a game while we wait for her, Loopy?
0:02:19 > 0:02:25OK. Err...I could bounce on my trampoline a bit more.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28How many bounces can you do before Tallulah gets here?
0:02:28 > 0:02:36- One, two, three, cake! - Ah-ha-ha-ha!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Ha-ha-ha! Cake isn't a number, Loopy!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I know! But it's all I can think about, Sweetie!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45TWINKLE TWEETS
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I think Tallulah's coming. Twinkle's spotted someone.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Yoo-hoo! Hello, everybody.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Hello, Tallulah.- Hello, Tallulah.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I've brought the decorations, Sweetie.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Oh, thank you, Tallulah. Now, where shall I put this one?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07In the middle? Maybe over here?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Or down the bottom, there?
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- Ooh, here!- Great! Please can we have some cake, now?
0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Ooh, not yet. We haven't finished decorating it.- D'a-a-aw!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- It looks delicious, Sweetie. - Is it finished?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Oh, you could put these around the edge of the cake.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33D'a-a-aw, Driver Dan! This is going to take ages!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37What about some more bouncing on your trampoline while we wait?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- I don't want to bounce anymore. - How about a game of I Spy, then?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44D'a-aw...OK, Driver Dan.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I spy with my little eye, something that is green.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Oh, I know, I know! A big, green cake!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55This green thing wears glasses.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Cakes don't wear glasses.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02It's very, very close to me. So close I can touch it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Me! Yeah! Is it time for cake, now?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Just one more thing to do.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Aa-a-aw!
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Maybe we should play another game while we wait, Driver Dan.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21OK, what would you like to play?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What about a singing game?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25TWINKLE TWEETS
0:04:27 > 0:04:31# When I'm happy, I like to skip
0:04:31 > 0:04:34# When I'm happy, I like to skip
0:04:34 > 0:04:38# I'm happy, and to show it
0:04:38 > 0:04:42# I like to skip
0:04:42 > 0:04:45# When I'm happy I like to stand on one leg
0:04:45 > 0:04:49# When I'm happy I like to stand on one leg
0:04:49 > 0:04:53# I'm happy, and to show it...
0:04:53 > 0:04:57# I like to eat cake. #
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Is it really, really finished?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Yes, Loopy, it is. Would you like some?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Ha-ha! Wahey! Yes, please, Sweetie!
0:05:08 > 0:05:13This is the best cake in the whole, wide world!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Thank you, Sweetie.- Yes, thank you, Sweetie. It was delicious!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21And now we've all finished our delicious cake, who'd like a story?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23ALL: Oh, yes please!
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Ha-ha! But don't make us wait too long, Driver Dan!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I won't, Loopy! But waiting for things can sometimes be fun!
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Yeah!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36THEY ALL LAUGH
0:05:36 > 0:05:39We're hooked up, Twinkle. Are we ready to go?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- TWINKLE TWEETS - Are you ready too? Then let's go!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45ALL: All aboard the story train!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48We're going to have a story.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- It might be about making a yummy cake.- Or playing games.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Or singing funny songs.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06ALL: Hooray!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Who's ready for a story?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10We are, Driver Dan!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Is it about singing funny songs? - Or decorating cakes?
0:06:14 > 0:06:20Hmm...I was thinking maybe...a-ha! I know just the book!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Is everyone settled down, ready to listen?- Yes, Driver Dan.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- I'm ready too.- And all of you? Sitting down comfy
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- and ready to listen?- ALL: Yes, Dan. - This story is called Special Seeds.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37It was written by Sarah Fabiny. The pictures are by Lauren Tobia.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39One sunny morning,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Lemar came running up the path to his sister Letitia.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45He was waving a big, bright envelope.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Nan had sent them a packet of seeds.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52"What do you think might grow from them?" Lemar asked eagerly.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55"Let's plant them and find out," said Leticia.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59So, they fetched their spades, a rake and a watering can,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03and found the perfect sunny spot in the garden.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06They raked the ground, carefully scattered the seeds,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10gently covered them with soil and then sprinkled them with water.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13"It's so exciting," said Lamar.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17"Maybe Nan's seeds will grow into a great big banana cake tree!"
0:07:17 > 0:07:18And he licked his lips,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22as he imagined eating Nan's delicious cake every day.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Yummy! A big banana cake tree!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29"Or they might grow into a reading tree,"
0:07:29 > 0:07:33said Leticia, hopping up and down with excitement,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36as she pictured a tree that blossomed with books.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Nan was the best bedtime story reader ever.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I think you're the best story reader, Driver Dan.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Thank you, Sweetie.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50"I've got it! It's going to be a pumpkin soup tree!" Lamar exclaimed.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54He remembered how Nan's amazing soup always made them better
0:07:54 > 0:07:57when they weren't feeling well.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Leticia spun a cartwheel, as she imagined the loveliest tree
0:08:00 > 0:08:04she could think of, with long wrap-around branches.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07"I think a tree that could give us hugs and kisses
0:08:07 > 0:08:09"like Nan's would be the very best of all."
0:08:09 > 0:08:13"You're right," said Lamar. "We'll just have to wait and see."
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Oh-ho-ho-ho! I'd like a hugging tree.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21The children watered Nan's special seeds every day.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25First, green shoots appeared, then little by little,
0:08:25 > 0:08:29the plants started stretching up to the sun.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34They grew bigger and bigger and bigger, until one day,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38when Lamar and Leticia went out to check the plants...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41they had the most wonderful surprise!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Nan's special seeds had grown into something lovely
0:08:44 > 0:08:50that they hadn't even thought of... a bed of beautiful flowers.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52"Hooray!" Cheered Lamar.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56"Now we've got the perfect way of saying thank you to Nan
0:08:56 > 0:08:59"for all the wonderful things she does for us!"
0:08:59 > 0:09:05"Yes," beamed Leticia. "And showing her how very much we love her!"
0:09:05 > 0:09:09The End. Wasn't that a good story?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I loved the huggy, kissy trees!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Ho-ho! The cake tree was my favourite.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The flowers at the end looked so pretty.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Now it's your turn. Which bit did you like best?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Come on, it's time to show me the story!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26This is fun!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm planting seeds in the ground.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Let's water the seeds! Gently now.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- I'm trying to reach the banana cake! - Jump, jump, jump!
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Mmm, we're eating Nan's pumpkin soup! - It's very delicious.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45BOTH: Yummy!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Now, I'm a great big hugging tree.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- A tree that gives hugs like Nan. - Hugs are the best.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I'm like a plant that's getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58We're stretching up to the sun.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Look at all the pretty flowers. ALL: Hooray!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Thanks for showing me the story, everyone. I enjoyed that.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Lamar and Leticia had to wait for their seeds to grow.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13And you had to wait for your cake, Loopy!
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Oh, it was worth the wait! It was the best cake ever.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Glad you enjoyed the story, everyone. But now it's time to go.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- All aboard! - ALL: All aboard the story train!
