Oliver's Wood by Sue Hendra. When the night falls and the moon and the twinkly stars come out,

2
00:00:10,169 --> 00:00:19,780
Oliver wakes up in his wood. He calls. The spiky hedgehogs and the stripy badgers

3
00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:25,800
wake up in the wood too. They are Oliver's friends.

4
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:32,619
So are the batty bats. Oliver likes to fly around with them in the wood.

5
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,679
Oliver and his friends play all night long.

6
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,060
Then, when the moon and the twinkly stars grow dim, they go to sleep.

7
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:50,149
One night, Oliver stayed up late.

8
00:00:50,850 --> 00:00:53,789
He saw the moon and the twinkly stars grow dim.

9
00:00:54,329 --> 00:00:57,869
And then, he saw something he had never seen before.

10
00:00:57,869 --> 00:01:02,869
The big, round, warm, orange sun.

11
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:15,890
Oliver was very excited. He went to tell the spiky hedgehogs and the stripy badgers, but instead there were rabbits and squirrels.

12
00:01:18,650 --> 00:01:25,650
Hippity hop, went the rabbits. Skitter skitter, went the squirrels. They didn't talk to Oliver.

13
00:01:28,450 --> 00:01:33,030
Oliver went to tell the batty bats, but instead there were butterflies.

14
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:44,590
eyes. Look at the sun, said Oliver, but the butterflies flew away. Oliver felt very lonely.

15
00:01:45,569 --> 00:01:53,849
He flew back to his branch. He wished he could tell someone about the sun. Oliver lay down

16
00:01:53,849 --> 00:02:03,590
on his branch and slept. Night fell and Oliver's friends came out to play in the wood. Wake

17
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:13,530
up lazy bones they shouted when oliver opened his eyes and saw all his friends he felt happy

18
00:02:14,330 --> 00:02:19,930

19
