# Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh. #

-Morning! You're out early today.

-The sunshine woke us. Hi, Will.

Hi, Raggles. Fancy a kickabout?

-This is my favourite time of day.

-My favourite is night-time,

when it's cool and quiet.

Night? But don't you sometimes feel a bit lonely out here, Oakley?

Oh, no. Nocturnal animals like to come out at night and visit me.

And of course, there's nothing better than gazing at the moon

and all the twinkling stars.

I wish I could sleep out under the stars with all my friends.

Well, why don't we?

-Yes! We can all camp out for the night.

-Proper, outdoors camping?

-Ye-hey!

-Do you think you CAN stay out all night?

You won't run back to the playhouse when it's dark?

I won't be scared. Come on, Rosie, let's tell everyone.

Hoo-hoo! I loved camping when I was a bear cub. I always played my guitar.

-It'll be my first time camping EVER.

-I'm an expert at camping.

-Are you sure, Bluebird?

-Of course! Ask me anything!

-OK. What's the most important thing to take with you?

-Twigs.

-What are you talking about?

-Twigs! For building your nest!

WILL LAUGHS

-We were thinking more of tents, not nests.

-Tents? Ha!

Hm, I don't know anything about tents, but I'll try them this once.

Oh, I can't wait!

-This is a great place to camp.

-Ohh, but you said that at the playground!

And the picnic area!

Sorry, this really, really is the perfect spot.

Let's put up the tents.

Yoo-hoo!

-Ugh! Look at this place!

-What?

-You don't expect ME to live in this mess?!

-No. This is the boys' tent.

You're next door.

-Ahh. This is MUCH better. Very nice.

-Thank you.

-Hm.

-Not much space to spread your wings.

-Come on, let's go outdoors.

There's more room.

# Oh, what a scene Oh, what a sight

# Look at our tent in the pale moonlight

# North or south or east or west

# We think camping is the best!

# La, la-la, la La, la, la-la... # Ahh!

-Oops. I haven't played this for a while.

-It's getting late.

-Who's going to be first into their sleeping bag?

-ALL: Me! Me! Me!

Ho-ho-ho! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

HE LAUGHS

-Ooh!

-Argh!

OWL HOOTS

-What was that?!

-An owl. Or maybe...a monster!

There's no such thing as monsters!

-Argh!

-WILL LAUGHS

Ohh, I can't get comfortable. Uh!

I'll help you get to sleep with a lullaby.

(HIGH-PITCHED) # Oh, what a scene Oh, what a sight

# Look at our tent in the pale moonlight... #

-How can we sleep while you're squawking?

-Squawking?!

This is # Singing! #

SNORING

-Oh, we'll NEVER get to sleep!

-Ready to go home yet, Raggles?

-No!

-I am not!

-Huh? Huh? Huh? Wha...? What...? What?

-"Squawking," he said! The cheek!

-Can the squawker please be quiet?!

-Rrrr! Argh! Argh! Rrrr!

-Can everyone stop arguing?

-SHE SIGHS

-This isn't going very well.

OWL HOOTS

Let's ask Big Bear to take us to Oakley.

He knows everything about sleeping outdoors. He might have some tips.

-Oh, hello, everyone. How's the camping going?

-Not too well.

Are YOU OK, Oakley?

I don't suppose you've seen Mr and Mrs Maudy, the dormice, have you?

No, we haven't.

They visit me every night, but I don't know where they've got to.

Maybe Saffie knows.

We'll look for them as we walk over to her.

Thank you. Ah. I miss them.

-Whoo-hoo-hoo!

-ROSIE GIGGLES

What animal made THAT funny noise?

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Hoo! Hoo-hoo-hoo!

Hi, Raggles. Only a funny noise. No need to be scared.

I'm not scared.

-Oh! Very good. Er...that's the spirit.

-Whoo-hoo-hoo!

-ARGH!

-BLUEBIRD SOBS

-Where's Will?

Hm. I think I know. Follow me.

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Hoooo! Hoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!

-Boo!

-Argh!

-THEY LAUGH

How lovely to see you,

and to share with you this wonderful starry night.

Have you seen Mr and Mrs Maudy tonight, Saffie?

Ahh, dormice always appear where you least expect them.

We'll keep looking as we head back to camp.

-Thanks, Saffie.

-Don't forget to look up as well as down.

But dormice live near the ground, don't they?

SCRATCHING

-Stop it, Will!

-What?! I didn't do anything!

-You did!

You made that scratching sound.

-SCRATCHING

-No...I didn't!

-SCRATCHING CONTINUES

-Argh!

I won't be scared by a silly old noise.

-Ho-ho! Hi, Mr Maudy!

-At last!

We've been trying to get out from our home here

to visit Oakley, but your tent was in the way!

-Sorry.

-Raggles! You found the dormice.

We weren't lost, we were stuck.

Someone started shrieking when we tried to get out!

Oh...well...maybe now we can get some sleep.

-I just wish we had more room in these tents.

-Maybe we can make more room.

Let's follow the dormice back to Oakley and bring the tents, too.

-I'm so glad you're here at last.

-Oh, so are we.

We had to put up with some dreadful squawking and shrieking.

-Um, excuse ME!

-Hey, Will, watch this!

THEY LAUGH

Ohh, my own nest!

-There's no place like it.

-And there's no place like this.

It's the most comfortable place I've ever slept.

And I got to sleep outside with all my friends.

Your first night outdoors and my first night indoors.

Ohh! Now I know what Saffie meant -

don't forget to look UP! Ohh!

-Rosie?

-Hm?

-Now I know why I can't sleep. I'm nocturnal.

I LIKE being awake at night.

HE YAWNS

So I'm going to sleep all day and play all night.

ROSIE CHUCKLES

So can I borrow your hammock when we get home?

RAGGLES SNORES

-ROSIE CHUCKLES

-Night-night, Raggles.
