cbeebies bedtime story hello there my name's josh did you know that the loudest the bravest
and even the scariest people can sometimes feel a bit embarrassed like alan the alligator in
tonight's bedtime story despite being the scariest alligator in the jungle he has a
secret that makes him feel a bit blue the story is called alan's big scary teeth and it's by jarvis
alan came from a long line of very scary alligators
he was known throughout the jungle for his scaring it was what he did best alan would start each day
polishing his scales sharpening his nails and brushing each of his big scary teeth
for at least 10 minutes at a time and after practicing his frightening faces in the mirror
he'd sneak into the jungle for his morning round of scaring alan went snap snap and grr grr he said
things like i'm big scary alan fear my razor sharp teeth he made the frogs leap off their lily pads
the monkeys tumble from the trees and the parrots screech in terrible terror
i love being scary laughed alan after a long day of scaring the jungle animals alan would head back
home to the swamp relax finish the crossword in the jungle times and take out his false teeth
nobody knew about alan's false teeth good night teeth sweet dreams my scary snappers
alan would say as he put them away carefully in his super secret hiding place
one morning barry the beaver was up early collecting wood and came across a dozing alan
terrified that alan might wake up and gobble him whole he quickly dived behind a bush phew that was
close thought barry just as a set of false teeth fell out of a bush with a very familiar snap snap
when alan awoke his teeth were gone my teeth my teeth where are my teeth
what could he do maybe no one would notice
could he still be scary without them he decided to head into the jungle as usual he made the frogs
leap off their lily pads the monkeys tumble from the trees and the parrots screech with laughter
alan just wasn't very scary without his teeth snap snap grr alan slunk away back to the swamp
he had never been more embarrassed he came from a long line of very scary alligators scaring was
all he had ever known what would alan do now poor alan began to cry just a bit at first
but then the tears kept coming he howled and yelled more than all the jungle babies put together
and he could not stop crying until next morning all the animals turned up at alan's swamp
with his big scary teeth we'll give you back your teeth said frog really said alan
on one condition said parrot you have to stop scaring us but what will i do i don't know how
to do anything else we have an idea said frog and so every day after polishing his scales
sharpening his nails and brushing his big scary teeth alan headed into the jungle and became
alan the gardener alan the hairdresser and alan the dentist but every night he became
alan the big scary storyteller thrilling the jungle with his terrifying tales
i love being scary laughed alan and sometimes he even let barry borrow his teeth
so alan learned that there's more to life than just being scary
and although revealing his secret made him embarrassed at first
in the end he made new friends because of it so remember even big scary alligators
can feel small but your friends can make you feel big again good night my little snappers
