1 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: Welcome, sleep tight stories. The lazy Giant. Once there was 2 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: a horrible old giant. He lived in a big castle 3 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: on top of a mountain, and he was very lazy. 4 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: The giant was so lazy he needed servants to look 5 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: after him, but nobody wanted to work for him at all. 6 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: One day, the giant went down the mountain. At the 7 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: bottom was a little cottage. Twelve children lived there, all 8 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: on their own. The girls were called Lottie, Dotty and 9 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Totty and Bessie, Jessie and Nessie, and the boys were 10 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: called Cliff, Riff and Sniff and ken, Ben and Den. 11 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: Now they would make good servants, thought the giant, so 12 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: he carried them off back to his castle. Every morning, 13 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: the children had to get up very early, light the 14 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: big stove and fetch lots of water. Then they had 15 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: to make a huge pot of porridge for the giant 16 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: at six o'clock. The giant would yell, is my breakfast ready? 17 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: But one morning the children woke up a bit late. 18 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: The stove wouldn't light and the water wouldn't flow. The 19 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: giant's porridge was lumpy, You lazy lot, roared the giant. 20 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: All the children started to shake the castle itself began 21 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: to quake. The giant was so angry he picked up 22 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: Totty and dropped her into his bowl of porridge. Now 23 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: Totti was the smallest child of all. She was only 24 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: as tall as the giant's boot. Her little yellow hat 25 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: fell off and bobbed on top of the porridge. Yuk, Yak, yak, 26 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: cried Totty, I may be teeny, but I do not scream, 27 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: not even for a giant so mean. As soon as 28 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the giant's back was turned, Lotty and Dotty pulled Totty 29 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: out without her hat. She looked smaller than ever. Every 30 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: afternoon the children had to polish and rub, sweep and scrub, 31 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: and everything had to shine like a new pin. At 32 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: two o'clock, the giant would yell, is my castle clean? 33 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: But one afternoon the polish ran out. The head fell 34 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: off the broom, and the bristles fell out of the 35 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: great scrubbing brush, and the giant found some cobwebs in 36 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: a corner. You dirty dopes, boomed the giant. All the 37 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: children started to shake. The castle itself began to quake. 38 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: The giant was so angry that he picked up NeSSI 39 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: and dropped her into the waste paper basket. Now, Nessie 40 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: was the untidiest of all the children. She always left 41 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: things on the floor and forgot to comb her hair. Ah, 42 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: she cried, I'm in a stew there's garbage all over me. 43 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: What can I do? Just as soon as the Giant's 44 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: back was turned, Bessie and Jessie pulled Nessie out. Poor Nessie, 45 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: she looked untidier than ever. Every night, the children had 46 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: to warm the giant's bed with a big hot water bottle, 47 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: and the sheets had to be clean and smooth. At 48 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: ten o'clock, the Giant would growl, is my bed ready? 49 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: But one night the hot water bottle had a hole 50 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: in it. Water ran onto the bed and the Giant 51 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: found the sheets were cold and damp. You dozy drips, 52 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: roared the giant. All the children started to shake. The 53 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: castle itself began to quake. The Giant was so angry 54 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: that he picked up Sniff and dropped him in the 55 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: wash basin. It was huge. Now Sniff always had a cold, 56 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: but he never moaned. He was always cheerful. Help, He cried. 57 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: This basin's like an ocean. It has a very choppy motion. 58 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: The water's rough and dirty brown, Get me out before 59 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: I drown. As soon as the Giant's back was turned, 60 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: Riff and Cliff fished out snow. After his swim in 61 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: the giant's basin, Sniff sniffed worse than ever. Every Sunday 62 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: the children had to get the giant's carriage ready. They 63 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: had to pull it up and down the mountain. He 64 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: would lie on soft cushions inside it. At eleven o'clock 65 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: the Giant would roar, where is my carriage? But one 66 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: Sunday it rained and rained. The lane was muddy and 67 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: the wheels were robbily, and so the Giant wasn't going 68 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: as fast as he liked. He roared, hurry up, your 69 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: little rats. All the children started to shake. The carriage 70 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: itself began to quake. The Giant was so angry that 71 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 1: he reached out of the window and gave Den a push. 72 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: Now Den was the strongest of all the children. He 73 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: rolled and rolled until he was out of sight. When 74 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: the other children saw what the giant had done, they 75 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: were very upset, but they pulled the carriage to the 76 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: top of the mountain. Then Lottie whispered to Dotty and Totti. 77 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: Totti whispered to Betsy. Bessie whispered to Jesse and NeSSI. 78 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: Nessie whispered to Cliff. Cliff whispered to Riff and Sniff, 79 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: and Sniff whispered to Ken and Ben. They all nodded. 80 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: The children gave the carriage a huge push. The carriage 81 00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: raced down the hill. It creaked and rattled, banged and clattered. 82 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: The giant bounced out of the carriage. He rolled down 83 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: the mountain until slosh, he fell into a muddy hole. 84 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: The giant was very angry. You income poops, he roared, 85 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: Get me out. But the children were safely out of 86 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: the giant's reach. And then Can and Ben heard a voice. 87 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: Help It said, Den I was, and Den I am. 88 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: I thought I'd never see you again, but thanks to 89 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: the tree on the side of the hill, your strongest 90 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: friend is with you. Still Den was hanging on a 91 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: tree branch. As quickly as they could, the children rescued him. 92 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: They were only just in time. Get me out of here. 93 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: The giant was bellowing and banging, yelling and thumping. He 94 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: made so much noise the rocks on the mountain began 95 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: to tumble. Before the giant could say, you blockheads A 96 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: big rock rolled down the mountain and climbed him the head. 97 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: He was knocked out cold, quick as a wink. The 98 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: children ran down the mountain side, laughing and shouting. They 99 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: were so happy to go back home again. As for 100 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: the giant, he got himself out of the hole and 101 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: crawled back to his castle. He never tried to catch 102 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: the children again, and so if ever he wanted anything done, 103 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: he had to do it himself.
