| 0:00.0 | Today's story is about a little bat who thinks he knows better than his parents and is very determined to do something |
| 0:26.6 | that they have told him he should not. Little bat has decided that he does not want to sleep all day. He wants to go out and see what happens |
| 0:42.2 | when he is sleeping. Let's see what he discovers. The little bat who wouldn't go to bed. |
| 1:00.4 | Come, said Mama Bat, lying toward her home in the cave. It is time that you children went to bed. |
