cbeebies bedtime story
oh tumble ted hello it's me your friend mr tumble let's all sign the word
friend together are you ready friend you sign friend oh well done i love being your friend
tonight's story is about a boy who wishes he could find a friend to share his hobby with him
it's called be a friend and is written and illustrated by selena yoon
dennis was an ordinary boy who expressed himself in extraordinary ways everyone called him
mime boy dennis didn't speak a word he would only act in scenes
some children would show and tell in class dennis would mime instead
some children liked to climb a tree
dennis was happy to be a tree but even trees get lonely sometimes dennis felt invisible
it was as if he were standing on the other side of a wall hmm
one day dennis kicked an imaginary ball
and someone caught it her name was joy
there was no wall between dennis and joy it was more like a mirror
they saw the world in the same way dennis and joy didn't speak a word because friends don't have to
but they laughed out loud with jazz hands for all the world to see
it's good to make a new friend especially when they enjoy the same things you do isn't that right
tumble ted have you made a new friend recently wow you have well perhaps you'll dream about
them tonight that would be very exciting i'll see you for another bedtime story soon night night
