hello I'm Rob I can't use my voice in the way that maybe you could which is why I use
this computer to talk for me it's called I use my lights to get the look at
the words and it speaks for me it's like magic I used to play rugby as my job but
something happened that made my world go upside down it made me feel topsy-turvy
but I was Brave and didn't give up just like the little girl in tonight's bedtime story
it's called tilda tries again and it's written and illustrated my tom percival
tilda's world was just as she liked it she had her friends and her books
and her toys everything was just right until one day tilda's world turned upside down
all of a sudden everything was topsy turvy and nothing felt right anymore
ah things that have once seemed simple now felt incredibly difficult
tilda didn't feel like seeing her friends in fact she didn't feel like doing anything
everything just seemed too hard eventually tilda gave up and decided to do nothing
then one day tilda saw a ladybird stuck on its back it's tiny legs waggled in the air
poor little thing she said you're all topsy turvy just like me as tilda tried
to work out how to help the ladybird wriggled and struggled it was no use tilda's heart sank
but then the ladybird tried again and again and again until at last it flew free
tilda thought about this the ladybird hadn't given up so neither would she
she found her toy blocks and tried building something it worked
tilda started to feel a bit better after that she tried reading her favourite funny book
and laughed until her tummy ached then she went out to play in the garden everything still felt
very strange tilda tried her best and the more tilda tried the more she found she could do it
although there was one thing that still felt to hard tilda went to the edge of the park
and watched her friends she almost left but then Tilda remembered the ladybird could she be brave
could she keep trying tilda decided that she could and it was the best decision she ever made
even though our world was still a little topsy turvy tilda felt she could cope and because she
felt she could cope her world seemed less topsy turvy from that day on whenever tilda's World
felt a bit wobbly she just tried her best and if that didn't work tilda tried again
wasn't tilda brave even though at times things felt a little topsy-turvy and she
wanted to give up she didn't she just kept on trying it's time for you to have a good night's
sleep now remember everything always feels so much better in the morning night and night
bedtime stories is the perfect way to end the day and you can watch more celebrity
