  We read Little Miss Chatterbox by Roger Hargreaves.
• 0:34
  Little Miss Chatterbox talked more than a lot.
• 0:39
  She talked all the time, day in and out, week after week, month after month,
• 0:48
  and year in and out. She never stopped.
• 0:51
  She didn't know it.
• 0:55
  But she even talked in her sleep. She had a brother.
• 1:01
  Miss... I bet you can guess what his name was.
• 1:07
  Cozoo, that's right. Mr. Chatterbox.
• 1:11
  You should have heard them when they got together.
• 1:16
  You couldn't get a word in edgeways Or sideways or anyways Have you ever heard
• 1:27
  about somebody being able to talk The hind leg of a donkey Well, Mr Chatterbox,
• 1:36
  could tuck both hind legs off a donkey.
• 1:43
  And his sister could tuck behind the leg of an elephant.
• 1:51
  Now, this story is about the little Miss Chatterbox decided to get herself a
• 2:00
  job, which she did, in a bank in Happy Land.
• 2:06
  At ten o'clock Monday morning, Mr Happy strolled into the Happy Land,
• 2:14
  Happy to Lend you bank, in the middle of Happy Town.
• 2:20
  He took his cheque book, wrote a cheque and went to the counter behind the counter.
• 2:27
  On the first morning, at work, stood Little Miss Chatterbox.
• 2:33
  She smiled at Mr. Happy. Mr. Happy smiled back.
• 2:38
  Good morning, he said cheerfully. Well, said Little Miss Chatterbox, taking a deep breath.
• 2:46
  For the time of a year, it's a good morning, but not as good as the morning we had yesterday.
• 2:54
  And I dare we say tomorrow morning will be an even better morning.
• 2:59
  But it's quite a good morning for Monday morning.
• 3:03
  And she went on and on until it was time for the bank to shut.
• 3:12
  Miss Daffy was still standing there.
• 3:15
  With his mouth open in amazement, he'd been there for hours.
• 3:21
  And now, continued Little Miss, Little Miss Chatterbox, it's time for the bank
• 3:28
  to shut in, time for me to go home, so goodbye and nice talking to you.
• 3:35
  And she went home, leaving poor, Mr. Happy, without any money.
• 3:43
  The following morning, she was fired.
• 3:49
  She got herself another job in a restaurant that eats a lot.
• 3:54
  It was Tuesday morning, and that midday, Mr.
• 3:59
  Greedy walked into the restaurant and sat himself down at his usual corner table.
• 4:06
  He always ate there on Tuesdays, because that was the day they served extra large portions.
• 4:19
  Well, said Little Miss Chatterbox, for she was a waitress.
• 4:27
  The soup of the day is tomato
• 4:31
  But we also have other soups And the
• 4:34
  menus such as oxtail and vegetable and
• 4:37
  chicken noodle But we have lots of other things to start with such as And she
• 4:43
  went on and on Until midnight Mr Greedy was still sitting there Listening in
• 4:50
  a mason He'd been there for 12 hours Listening And now,
• 4:57
  continued little Miss Chatterbox.
• 5:02
  Time for the eat-off restaurant to shut and for me to go home.
• 5:09
  So, goodbye and nice talking to you. And she went home, leaving the poor Mr.
• 5:17
  Greedy feeling rather empty.
• 5:20
  The next morning, she was fired.
• 5:24
  The same thing happened all week long. On Thursday morning, she was fired from
• 5:31
  her job assistant at this hat shop. Mrs.
• 5:35
  Splendid went into the shop to buy herself a new hat.
• 5:44
  But she couldn't. Oh, madam, I've just got the, I've just the,
• 5:50
  I've just the hat for you and I, and I know you're going to love it because it's pink and,
• 5:59
  and your colour and it,
• 6:02
  it was all, it was all tall and no hat.
• 6:07
  Friday morning she was fired from her job as a secret secretary to Mr Upty Mr
• 6:16
  Upty incidentally was the richest man in the world.
• 6:25
  I just thought you'd like to know but poor Mr Upty didn't make any money that
• 6:32
  the day that little Miss Chatterbox was working for him. Oh no!
• 6:38
  Oh Mr Uptie, I've never worked in an office before and isn't exciting.
• 6:44
  And isn't it exciting and would you like a cup of coffee and are you as rich
• 6:53
  as everybody says and you are...
• 6:57
  And it was all talk and no work.
• 7:02
  But the story has a happy ending because at the very end of that week,
• 7:11
  little Miss Chatterbox managed to find herself a jar that suited her down to
• 7:18
  the ground and up to the sky.
• 7:21
  That Saturday evening, Mr Chatterbox was at home in the Chatterbox cottage,
• 7:28
  which was where he lived.
• 7:31
  Mr Chatterbox was cross because his watch had stopped and he had arranged to
• 7:39
  meet Little Miss Sunshine at 7 o'clock and he had no idea what time it was.
• 7:44
  So he decided to the telephone speaking clock to find out what time it was.
• 7:57
  He dialed the number.
• 8:00
  Third stroke, it would be 6.25 and 15 seconds. Little Miss Chatterbox took a deep breath.
• 8:11
  Pip, pip, pip, pip.
• 8:14
  And as the third trope, it will be 6.25 and 20 seconds. Pip, pip, pip.
• 8:22
  That's funny, thought Mr Chatterbox to himself.
• 8:27
  That just sounds like my sister.
• 8:31
