All aboard!

It's Driver Dan's Story Train!

Hello, everyone.

Hello, Driver Dan.

# Which of our friends are we going to see?

# Which of our friends do you think it will be?

# Climb aboard and travel with me

# All aboard the Story Train. #

All aboard the Story Train!

TWINKLE TWEETS

Twinkle, have you spotted someone? I can't see who it is.

Can you?

One, two, three.

-I can hear someone counting!

-It sounds like Tallulah.

Is she behind the bushes?

Look, there's Tallulah.

And Sweetie. Are they looking for something?

Hmm, I don't know. Let's go and ask them, shall we?

I counted three bushes.

Oh! I was going to count three bushes.

TWINKLE TWEETS

Hello, Tallulah. Hi, Sweetie.

What are you doing with the easel and stickers?

-Are you playing a game?

-Hello, Driver Dan. Hi, Twinkle.

Yes, we are.

First, we have to look for one of something, then two of something,

then three, then four, then five.

And the first one to see five of something wins our counting game.

I'm winning so far.

That's because I keep forgetting to show what I've seen on the board.

Oh, dear. Perhaps Twinkle could help you.

TWINKLE TWEETS Thanks, Twinkle!

I counted one water hole, then two doorknobs on my carriage.

One...

two.

I counted one flower on Sweetie's ear, and two hills,

then I spotted three bushes, so I'm winning.

Not for long, though. Look, Driver Dan.

I can see three of something.

-Three parts of the Story Train!

-Well done, Sweetie.

And good sticking, Twinkle.

And I'll find four of something before Tallulah does.

-Oh no you won't!

-They both really want to win, don't they?

-Do you think you could play this game, too?

-Yes!

-I can see one of something.

-Me too.

Driver Dan, it's right in front of you.

Not there!

In your pocket!

Ah, yes. One Fix-O-Tron.

Well spotted.

I'm winning! I counted Tallulah's four wheels.

Look! One, two, three, four.

And I found a tree with four branches.

One, two, three, four.

Well done! Now you both need to find five of something.

Why don't we go on the Story Train and look?

Yeah!

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

-TWINKLE TWEETS

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

All aboard the Story Train!

I wonder who will see five of something first?

-Tallulah will.

-No, I think Sweetie will.

TWINKLE TWEETS

Ooh! Who has Twinkle found? Can you see?

BLEATING

Look, it's one of the Counting Sheep.

There should be five Counting Sheep.

If they can find all five, they'll win the game.

You're right! I wonder where the other Counting Sheep are.

Hello, number one! Where are the other Counting Sheep?

Here, sheepy sheeps! SHEEP BLEATS

Hold on.

Number One Counting Sheep, do you know where they are?

-SHEEP BLEATS

-Ooh! Are they near here somewhere?

Baa-baa!

Ah-ha!

SWEETIE GIGGLES

DRIVER DAN LAUGHS

Ah, the five Counting Sheep were playing a trick, weren't they?

They were hiding!

Oh... We can't find them.

THEY BLEAT

Ooh! One, two Counting Sheep!

I counted two.

Baaa!

Ooh! Three!

One, two, three Counting Sheep.

Can you show me Number Four and Number Five Counting Sheep?

Please...? Then I'll be the winner.

THEY BLEAT

Oh! I'm going to win!

Hey!

What happened? I can only see Number One Counting Sheep now.

Oh! Where have they gone?

THEY BLEAT

One, two, three, four...

I counted four!

Where's five?

I need Number Five.

Ooh, I can still win if I can just find Number Five.

THEY BLEAT

TWINKLE TWEETS

I think you're right, Twinkle.

They do want Tallulah and Sweetie to count together.

BOTH: One, two...

three...

four...

THEY GIGGLE five!

We did it! We counted five of something.

Yes. Five, funny Counting Sheep.

Baa! Baa! Baa!

Clever Counting Sheep.

Well done, Sweetie and Tallulah, and you too, Twinkle. Who is the winner?

SHE TWEETS

It looks like you both won.

Well done!

The first prize is a story at Story Corner!

-Oh, yes!

-Let's go!

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

SHE TWEETS

Are you ready too? Then let's go!

All aboard the Story Train!

It's time for a story.

I think it will be about counting or playing games.

-Who's ready for a story?

-I am.

Is it going to be a counting story?

Hmmm, what about...

A-ha! I know just the book.

Is everybody settled down and ready to listen?

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

-I'm ready.

This story is called Mrs Goosey's Chocolate Cake.

It was written by Denise Cassar and the pictures are by Sam Church.

Everyone loved Mrs Goosey's delicious chocolate cake.

"Please tell us your secret recipe", begged her friends.

But Mrs Goosey only smiled

and said that her cakes contained an extra-special secret ingredient.

"Is it carrots?" Asked Ruby Rabbit, hoping up and down.

"No, it's grass," said Gary Goat, nibbling some crumbs.

"No, it's fish," declared Carmen Cat, licking her lips.

"Secret recipe, eh?" Said sly Mr Fox,

who was sniffing outside the window.

"I'll find out what it is.

"Then I'll bake a delicious chocolate cake for those creatures,

"and while they're munching away, I'll gobble them all up."

Don't you worry about bad Mr Fox.

So the next day, sneaky Mr Fox watched carefully

as Mrs Goosey mixed her ingredients together.

Flour, sugar, eggs, butter and chocolate.

"One, two, three, four, five," he counted. "Easy."

The animals were a bit unsure when they received their invitation

to Mr Fox's tea party, but the cake did smell very good.

Ruby Rabbit took a bite. Gary Goat took a bite. Carmen Cat took a bite.

And wicked Mr Fox was about to pounce when...

"Yuck!" Yelled all his guests together and they ran for the door.

"Wait!" Shouted furious Mr Fox. "I haven't had my dinner yet!"

Quick! Run, animals, run!

"So Mr Fox didn't spot my special ingredient,"

chuckled Mr Goosey, when her friends were safely back home.

"I'll let you into a secret.

"When I'm baking my cakes, I think of how much you'll enjoy eating them

"and it makes me smile,

"so my smiles get mixed in, and they're my special ingredient."

"And that's what makes your cakes so yummy!" Cheered her friends.

Back in his den, grumpy Mr Fox is still trying to bake

the perfect chocolate cake to trick his neighbours.

But they never taste like Mrs Goosey's, however hard he tries.

And he has never worked out why.

-The end. Did you all enjoy the story?

-ALL: Oh, yes!

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

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

-I'm bouncing!

-Just like Ruby Rabbit.

What's that lovely smell?

-Look at that cake!

-Mmm, that cake looks lovely.

-I'm washing my whiskers.

-Lick, lick, lick, lick.

Look, it's Mr Fox!

-Quick, run away!

-Run, run, run!

-One, two, three, four, five!

-Lots of things to make a cake.

-Look, it's Mr Fox!

-What a mess!

-This is a great picnic.

-Look at the chocolate cake.

ALL: Mmmm!

Well done! You were great at showing me the story.

Mr Fox will never bake delicious cakes

if he doesn't do it with a friendly smile.

His cake was horrid!

That's right, Sweetie. But the cakes you make are delicious.

That's because Sweetie uses Mrs Goosey's secret ingredient too.

And there it is! A Sweetie smile.

Oh, look. One, two, three, four, five, six and seven smiles.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story, everyone, but now it's time to go.

-All aboard!

-All aboard the Story Train!

Bye, everyone. It's time to go.

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

-Bye, Driver Dan!

-Bye!

I like stories about pretty princesses.

I like silly stories.

I like stories that make you jump.

Stories about cakes are the best. Yum, yum, yum!
