00:00Chocolate cake, reenacted by the one and only Beau.
00:05When I was a boy, I had a favorite treat.
00:09It was when my mom made chocolate cake.
00:13Oh, I loved chocolate cake.
00:15My mom, she says to me, listen, Michael,
00:18if there's any chocolate cake left over at the end of the day,
00:22you could take some to school tomorrow to have at playtime or at lunchtime.
00:26So I used to go to school with a piece of chocolate cake and my little box
00:31and I'd be working to school.
00:38And then I get to school.
00:40It'll be playtime and lunchtime and I open up my box.
00:44Take the house.
00:49Open up the paper.
01:20I loved my mom's chocolate cake.
01:25And one time there was some chocolate cake left over at the end of the day
01:30and I went to bed and I was fast asleep.
01:34And then in the middle of the night, I woke up and I thought,
01:39chocolate cake.
01:41Hmm, maybe I could go downstairs and have a little look at it.
01:47No one would know.
01:49So I got up out of the bed and shh.
01:52I mustn't wake my brother up.
01:54Okay, along the passage,
01:58careful not to tread on the creaky floorboard
02:01outside mom and dad's bedroom
02:04because if they wake up and find me,
02:07I'll be in big trouble.
02:08So really quiet.
02:13Are they still asleep?
02:17Yes.
02:18Okay.
02:19Now, along the passage,
02:21downstairs,
02:23into the kitchen,
02:24up in the cupboard.
02:36And then I noticed
02:37some little crumbs on the plate.
02:39So if I lick the end of my finger,
02:42then I could pick up some of the crumbs
02:44and no one would know anything about it.
02:52And then I noticed
02:54on the side of the cake,
02:56there's some little crummy bits
02:58just falling off.
02:59So I think
03:00if I take a knife,
03:03I could just
03:03tidy it up a little bit.
03:06No one would notice.
03:16Scrunched all together
03:17and the crummy bits
03:18and the sticky bits
03:18and it's all going to go
03:19and then,
03:19yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby.
03:27And then I noticed
03:28as I've tidied it up
03:30a little bit over here,
03:31then maybe I could just
03:32even it up a bit over here.
03:34So I take the knife again
03:36and this time
03:37through the crispy icing
03:39on the top,
03:40through the squashy icing
03:41in the middle.
03:42And I got this whole slice
03:44this time.
03:45And so I'm going to go in there
03:46and I go eat it.
03:52And now I've got the taste
03:54in my mouth
03:54so I can't stop myself
03:55and I go
03:57and I got all these slices
03:59and I go
03:59and I can't stop
04:01and I can't stop
04:02and I can't stop
04:04and I can't stop
04:10and I'm going to go
04:11Oh no!
04:12It's all gone!
04:14Oh no!
04:16They're bound to notice now!
04:18A whole chocolate cake
04:19doesn't just disappear!
04:21What am I going to do?
04:23I know!
04:24I'll wash up the plate
04:26and the knife
04:27and they won't know
04:28anything about it.
04:29Good thinking.
04:30Take the plate
04:31and the knife
04:32and wash it up
04:33really quiet.
04:34Shh!
04:35Shh!
04:37Shh!
04:38Wash up the plate
04:38and the knife
04:39and don't forget to dry up.
04:41Get the cloth
04:42and don't forget the knife
04:43and don't forget
04:44to put them away.
04:45Plate and the cupboard
04:46and the knife in the drawer
04:47and back up to bed.
04:49Shh!
04:50Up the stairs
04:52along the passage
04:55Now I know
04:57where the creaky floorboard is now
04:59so all I've got to do
05:01is tread over it
05:02because if I tread on it
05:04and it makes a noise
05:05I am
05:07dead!
05:08Careful now!
05:14Are they still asleep?
05:16Yes!
05:17It's okay!
05:19Into the bedroom
05:20Into the bed
05:21Into the cabin
05:24Ah!
05:26Nice warm feeling
05:27So I can't get my bed
05:29and I go to sleep
05:33In the morning
05:34I get up
05:35and I go downstairs
05:36and I'm having my breakfast
05:38and mom's busy over there
05:40and she's busy over there
05:41and she says
05:42Oh Michael!
05:43Don't forget your book folder!
05:45She hands me my book folder
05:46and I'm busy having my breakfast
05:48She's busy over there
05:49and she's busy over there
05:50and she says
05:51Oh Michael!
05:52There's something else!
05:53There's something nice!
05:54There's some chocolate cake
05:56left over from yesterday
05:58for you to take to school today!
06:00And I went
06:01And she says
06:04What's the matter?
06:06You usually jump
06:07at the idea
06:08of having chocolate cake
06:09and I'm like
06:09That's alright
06:10That's alright
06:11And she's looking
06:12at me very closely
06:14Just over here
06:15Then she says
06:16What's that?
06:17I say
06:17What's what?
06:18She said
06:19It's not
06:20chocolate cake
06:21is it?
06:22And I said
06:22And she went over
06:25to the cup board
06:29It's gone
06:30The chocolate cake's gone
06:32You haven't eaten
06:34You haven't eaten
06:35the whole of the rest
06:37of the chocolate cake
06:38have you?
06:38And I said
06:39I don't know
06:41You don't know?
06:42She said
06:42You don't know?
06:44I don't believe a word of it
06:46Now off you go to school
06:47No
06:47Before you go to school
06:48Go upstairs to the bathroom
06:50and wash your dirty
06:51sticky face
06:53I went upstairs
06:54to the bathroom
06:55and I looked in the mirror
06:56and I saw it
06:57Just there
06:59Chocolate smudge
07:00Chocolate blob
07:01And I looked at it
07:03and I thought
07:04Maybe next time
07:05we have chocolate cake
07:06She'll forget about it
07:08Do you think she will?
