0:02:27 > 0:02:31No jobs to do. Everything in the village is quiet.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Huh?! What? What?!

0:03:04 > 0:03:06'Jack? Jack!'

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Ernie?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Jack! How are you doing?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12What? Well, my lights just came on.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Is this anything to do with you?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17It is! We've managed to make a little contraption.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21When Ernie needs to speak to you by speaking tube...

0:03:21 > 0:03:22I just press a button

0:03:22 > 0:03:25'and then all your lights come on'

0:03:25 > 0:03:26and you know it's me!

0:03:26 > 0:03:31But I, I didn't want my lights on! I'm trying to have a snooze!

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Oh.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Ah.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Can you switch 'em back off?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Er... (Can we?)

0:03:38 > 0:03:41(I've no idea!)

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Can we get back to you on that one, Jack? Over and out!

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Right. Thanks, Ernie(!)

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Huh! I'm not going to get much peace today

0:03:50 > 0:03:53with the lights going on and off.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Oh! Do you know, it's like that time

0:03:56 > 0:03:59we had a visit from the shooting stars.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Do you remember, Salty?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Oh! You settle down, I'll tell you the story.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07This will wiffle your whiskers!

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Once upon a twinkly time we set off from Staithes,

0:04:11 > 0:04:16waved goodbye to Whitby and disappeared over the horizon.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Well, late that night, we were gliding along

0:04:19 > 0:04:22and everything was silent and still,

0:04:22 > 0:04:26with just the duf-duf-duf-duf-duf of the engine.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29# Just Salty Dog and me

0:04:29 > 0:04:30# Sailing on the sea

0:04:30 > 0:04:33# Staring at all of the stars in the sky

0:04:33 > 0:04:36# Asking 'em questions and wondering why

0:04:36 > 0:04:40# Heading home soon by the light of the moon

0:04:40 > 0:04:41# Just Salty Dog and me. #

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Ha-ha-ha!

0:04:44 > 0:04:47But then, boof-whoosh!

0:04:47 > 0:04:48And I looked up.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51There was a shooting star.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52It fell across the sky

0:04:52 > 0:04:55zooming down, down, down towards the horizon.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58"Look, Salty", I said. "Shooting stars are lucky.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01"You should make a wish." Ha-ha!

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Salty wished for a nice, juicy bone

0:05:03 > 0:05:05but then, all of a sudden, whoosh!

0:05:05 > 0:05:09I saw a second shooting star. Whoosh!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12And then a third. Whoosh! And then a fourth!

0:05:12 > 0:05:16And, whoosh! Shooting star number five!

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I looked into the distance where the shooting stars had landed

0:05:19 > 0:05:23and I could see a glowing light twinkling on the water.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26"Salty," I said, "this is mysterious."

0:05:26 > 0:05:28"Let's take a look."

0:05:28 > 0:05:31As we got closer, the air got brighter

0:05:31 > 0:05:34until it was as bright as day,

0:05:34 > 0:05:36even though it was still the middle of the night.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41And then I saw where the light was coming from.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Five little shooting stars

0:05:43 > 0:05:48were bobbing up and down just on top of the water.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50They were shining so brightly

0:05:50 > 0:05:52that they lit up the waves and the clouds

0:05:52 > 0:05:55and everything in between.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56And they were giggling!

0:05:56 > 0:05:58They sang,

0:05:58 > 0:06:01# "Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee!

0:06:01 > 0:06:03# "Shooting stars from the sky are we!" #

0:06:03 > 0:06:05And they went shooting off!

0:06:05 > 0:06:10They went whoosh! Heading for land, burning as bright as can be.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I said, "I'd better keep an eye on them."

0:06:13 > 0:06:15And then I fired up the engine

0:06:15 > 0:06:19and Salty and I zoomed across the waves as fast as we could.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24We reached the village but the shooting stars had got there first.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28They danced and bobbed and jiggled all around the houses

0:06:28 > 0:06:31and the whole village became as bright as day.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34The shooting stars sang,

0:06:34 > 0:06:36# "Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee!

0:06:36 > 0:06:39# "Watch us shine so joyously!" #

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Miss Bowline-Hitch, oh! She came out in her pyjamas.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44She said...

0:06:44 > 0:06:48Good morning, Jack! Oh, dear me! I'm late!

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I must get to work! I'm busy-busy!

0:06:51 > 0:06:56I said, "But it's not the morning. It's ten past midnight."

0:06:56 > 0:06:58But how is that possible?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00..Said Captain Periwinkle.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04It's as bright as day! What do I do? Is it day or is it night?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Pip and Olive appeared in their bedroom window.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Is it morning?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10..They said. And then I saw Ernie.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13He was standing in the street in his dressing gown.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17I'm running late, Jack! I didn't hear me alarm go off!

0:07:17 > 0:07:21I said, "Well, no wonder! It's ten past midnight!"

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Don't be daft! It's as bright as day! And I'd better sell me fish!

0:07:25 > 0:07:32Fresh fish! Lovely fish! Everybody! Wake up!

0:07:32 > 0:07:36And then Emily ran past, in her nightie, saying...

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Good morning, Jack! I'm ever so late!

0:07:38 > 0:07:41I didn't realise it was daytime!

0:07:41 > 0:07:46I said, "It isn't! It's ten past midnight!"

0:07:46 > 0:07:47And Emily said...

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Don't be daft!

0:07:49 > 0:07:53I've got to sell my lovely ice cream on a sunny day like this!

0:07:53 > 0:07:58Well, I looked around. Everyone was up and about.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02All of them in pyjamas and nighties and dressing gowns

0:08:02 > 0:08:05and all looking round, confused, saying...

0:08:05 > 0:08:09What time is it? Is it day or is it night?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I called out, "Listen to me, everyone!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15"It's the middle of the night!

0:08:15 > 0:08:19"All the daylight is coming from them!"

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Everyone looked up.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23And there were the five little shooting stars

0:08:23 > 0:08:25dancing about and singing,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27# "Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30# "We are shining brightly!" #

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Miss Bowline-Hitch said...

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Oh, no! I'm too tired to be busy-busy!

0:08:35 > 0:08:36And Ernie said...

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Oh, no, I'm going to be exhausted in the morning!

0:08:40 > 0:08:44And the whole village started grumbling. Sam said...

0:08:44 > 0:08:47We're so tired, we want to sleep!

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Can't you turn the light off, little shooting stars?

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Now the shooting stars looked a little bit sad. They sang,

0:08:54 > 0:08:57# "Oh, dear, dear, oh, woe is me!

0:08:57 > 0:09:00# "Don't you like our shining spree?" #

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- And everybody said...- No!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I felt a little bit sorry for the shooting stars.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I said to them, "You think you're being nice and kind,

0:09:09 > 0:09:15"lighting everything up, but people like a bit of darkness now and then.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20"They need the night so they can get some sleep, cos sleep is lovely.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22"Once you've had a good sleep,

0:09:22 > 0:09:25"you're all refreshed for the next morning.

0:09:25 > 0:09:30"So I think it's best if you go shooting back up into the sky."

0:09:30 > 0:09:34And all the villagers shouted, "Yes, please!"

0:09:34 > 0:09:38But then the shooting stars looked even sadder. They sang,

0:09:38 > 0:09:42# "Oh, dear, dear, a small hiccup!

0:09:42 > 0:09:46# "Stars fall down but can't go up!" #

0:09:46 > 0:09:51I said, "Does that mean you've got to stay down here?"

0:09:51 > 0:09:54And they said, "Yes, it's true. Poor little us.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57"Now we're stuck with all this fuss."

0:09:57 > 0:10:02I looked all round, and I don't mind admitting, I was worried.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07I said to myself, "What can we do? What CAN we do?"

0:10:07 > 0:10:09And then I saw it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13The Rainbow. My lovely old boat.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16The answer to all our problems.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I called out, "This way, little stars!

0:10:19 > 0:10:23"Gather yourselves in my fishing net."

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Well, the shooting stars did what I asked, and then,

0:10:27 > 0:10:32with Salty's help, I scooped them into the funnel of the Rainbow.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Then I stoked up the engine,

0:10:35 > 0:10:40building up more and more power, until she was fit to burst.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44And then I pulled down on the whistle.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47WHISTLE

0:10:48 > 0:10:53And with a great big puff of smoke, the stars went, whoosh!

0:10:53 > 0:11:00They flew out of the funnel and all the way up, up, up into the sky,

0:11:00 > 0:11:02back where they belonged.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08All the light disappeared and suddenly it was night-time again.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12The villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16"Phew-hoo-hoo!" They looked up at the sky and called out...

0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Thank you, little stars. Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!

0:11:20 > 0:11:25And far up above, the distant stars twinkled.

0:11:25 > 0:11:30And I could hear their tiny voices carrying through the night air.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33# "Ha-ha-ha! Bye-bye-bye!

0:11:33 > 0:11:36# "Thank you, Jack We had to fly!" #

0:11:38 > 0:11:43And then I looked at all the people in their pyjamas. I said, "Come on.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47"Come on, you lot. Time you were back in bed. Ha-ha!

0:11:47 > 0:11:49"Good night, everybody!"

0:11:49 > 0:11:53- And the whole village said... - Good night!

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Then everyone went back to bed.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01Soon, all you could hear was the sound of snoring.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03I looked around.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Everything was peaceful and still.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12The people were back in their beds and the stars were back in the sky.

0:12:12 > 0:12:18Just as it should be. "There you are. All back to normal," I said.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21It was quite it was quite an adventure. Don't you think, Salty?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Salty? Salty!

0:12:27 > 0:12:30There was no reply. I looked around.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32And guess what? Hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Salty was fast asleep.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44RAINBOW WHISTLES

0:12:46 > 0:12:48There. Try that.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53Er, we think we can switch your lights off now, Jack.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Thanks, Ernie.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57MACHINE WHIRRS

0:12:57 > 0:12:59You've done it!

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Marvellous! We've done it!

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Good! Just...one small problem.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10I can't switch the lights back on again.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Oops!

0:13:12 > 0:13:17Technical hitch, Jack. We can't seem to switch your lights back on again.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Oh, really?- Sorry, Jack.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Don't worry, you two, this is just perfect.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yeah, but you've hardly got any lights!

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Like I said, it's just perfect.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Yeah, but, Jack, what we can actually do is, we can switch

0:13:33 > 0:13:39'the polarity and the feathers will go the other way round, so...'

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Ha-ha! Now, time for that nap, I think.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Hmph! See you soon! Ha-ha!

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Oh. Ah, peace at last.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51Ah!
