[00:00.78]Gerald's busy day
[00:05.40]Gerald the gerbil belonged to Tom and Lucy.
[00:09.53]"Will he be bored while we're at school?" asked Lucy.
[00:16.40]"No," said Mum."Gerbils sleep all day."
[00:21.10]When they left,Gerald opened his cage door and climbed out.
[00:27.35]He ran across the floor and up the curtain.
[00:31.47]He jumped out of the window and in the tree.
[00:35.90]Gerald ran down the tree across the garden and out of the gate!
[00:41.49]He saw a window cleaner.
[00:45.25]Gerald ran under the ladder.
[00:47.90]"Hey!" shouted the window cleaner.
[00:52.56]Gerald ran on.
[00:54.88]He saw a balloon seller.
[00:57.82]Gerald ran past her.
[01:00.43]"Hey!" shouted the balloon seller.
[01:03.89]Gerald ran on.
[01:06.80]He ran across the road,between all the cars.
[01:10.45]"Hey!" the drivers shouted.
[01:16.50]But Gerald ran on.
[01:18.91]He ran around the corner,then stopped.
[01:21.93]He saw a big black cat.
[01:27.27]"Oh good,dinner!" said the cat.
[01:31.55]Gerald turned and ran back around the corner across the road.
[01:36.37]He ran past the balloon seller,and under the ladder.
[01:41.47]He ran in through the gate,across the garden and up the tree!
[01:47.21]He jumped across to the window and climbed back into his cage.
[01:52.62]Soon Mum,Tom and Lucy came home.
[01:56.60]"He's still asleep," said Tom.
