The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr. Once there was a little girl called Sophie and she

2
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:12,089
was having tea with her mummy in the kitchen. Suddenly there was a ring on the doorbell.

3
00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:19,550
Sophie's mummy said, I wonder who that can be? It can't be the milkman because he came this morning

4
00:00:19,550 --> 00:00:24,910
and it can't be the boy from the grocers because this isn't the day he comes

5
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:30,890
and it can't be daddy because he's got his key. We better open the door and see.

6
00:00:32,509 --> 00:00:39,789
Sophie opened the door and there was a big furry stripy tiger. The tiger said, excuse me but I'm

7
00:00:39,789 --> 00:00:46,570
very hungry. Do you think I could have tea with you? Sophie's mummy said, of course, come in.

8
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:54,890
So the tiger came into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Sophie's mummy said, would you like

9
00:00:54,890 --> 00:01:01,429
a sandwich, but the tiger didn't take just one sandwich. He took all the sandwiches on the plate

10
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:08,950
and sold them in one big mouthful. And he still looked hungry, so Sophie offered him the buns.

11
00:01:10,069 --> 00:01:17,349
But again, the tiger didn't eat just one bun. He ate all the buns on the dish and then he ate

12
00:01:17,349 --> 00:01:22,409
all the biscuits and all the cake until there was nothing left on the table.

13
00:01:22,409 --> 00:01:29,790
so Sophie's mummy said would you like a drink and the tiger drunk all the milk in the milk jug and

14
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:36,359
all of the tea in the teapot then he looked down the kitchen to see what else he could find

15
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:42,719
he ate all the supper that was cooking in the saucepans and all the food in the fridge

16
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:51,180
and all the packets and tins in the cupboards and he drank all the milk and all the orange juice

17
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:58,599
and all of daddy's beer and all the water from the tap and then he said thank you for my nice tea

18
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:06,900
I think I'd better go now and he went. Sophie's mummy said I don't know what to do I have nothing

19
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:14,159
for daddy's supper the tiger's eaten all. Sophie found that she couldn't have a bath because the

20
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:22,439
tiger had drank all the water in the tap. Just then Sophie's dad came in. So Sophie and her mummy

21
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:27,900
told him what had happened and how the tiger had eaten all the food and drank all the drink.

22
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:36,840
Sophie's daddy said, I know what we'll do. I've got a very good idea. We'll put on our coats and go to

23
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:43,979
the cafe. So they went out in the dark and the streetlights were well lit and the cars all had

24
00:02:43,979 --> 00:02:50,180
their lights on and they walked down the road to their cafe. They had a lovely supper with sausages

25
00:02:50,180 --> 00:02:57,659
and chips and ice cream and in the morning Sophie and her mummy went shopping and bought lots more

26
00:02:57,659 --> 00:03:04,020
things to eat and they also bought a tin of tiger food in case the tiger should ever come to tea

27
00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:06,219
again. The end.
