# 64 Zoo Lane! # | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
-Bedtime, Lucy! -OK, Mum! | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
-Oh! Where is everybody? -Over here! | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
Not over there - over here! | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
And here! | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
I know you're here somewhere. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
BOO! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-Fooled you! -I knew you were hiding. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
-Oh, no, you didn't! -Oh, yes, I did! -Oh, no, you didn't! -Oh, yes, I did! | 0:01:58 | 0:02:07 | |
Quiet! If you carry on like this, you'll wake the neighbours! | 0:02:07 | 0:02:15 | |
-Sorry, Nelson. -It's all right. But it IS the middle of the night. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:23 | |
Yes. We must think about others. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Nelson, once upon a time you were noisier than all of us! | 0:02:26 | 0:02:34 | |
-Oh, no, I wasn't! -Oh, yes, you were! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
-Oh, no, I wasn't! -Ssh! I want to listen to Georgina! | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
Oh...hm-hm. Sorry. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
This happened a long time ago, when Nelson was still young, in Africa. | 0:02:51 | 0:03:00 | |
Nelson used to start the day with a big yawn... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:06 | |
followed by a good scratch against the baobab tree. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:13 | |
Ah, that's better! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
And then breakfast. Nelson always had baobab leaves. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:23 | |
They were juicy, but very small, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
so he had to eat a lot of them to fill his big elephant tummy. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:35 | |
But then, Nelson could never think of anything to do. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:41 | |
Nothing exciting ever happens here. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
Bwbwbwb! I'm bored! | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
Very bored. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
Very, very bored! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
I wonder what would happen if I jumped down here? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:15 | |
Only one way to find out. One, two, three! | 0:04:15 | 0:04:24 | |
This is exciting! Oompah, oompah, do another joompah! | 0:04:26 | 0:04:33 | |
This is great! Oompah, oompah, I like to joompah! | 0:04:34 | 0:04:40 | |
Nelson thought the oompah joompah game was great fun. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:47 | |
-But what would other animals think? -Oh no! It's an earthquake! | 0:04:47 | 0:04:54 | |
Natalie the antelope didn't like Nelson's game. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
SINGS "Rock-a-bye Baby" | 0:04:59 | 0:05:05 | |
Oh, help! My baby! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-Oh, that was close! -Audrey the ostrich didn't like it either. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:18 | |
And Reginald the lion... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-Right! That's IT! -Well, he got very cross. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
So Reginald...Audrey... and Natalie... | 0:05:41 | 0:05:47 | |
-went to find out where the noise was coming from. -Look! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:53 | |
-Oompah, oompah, I like to joompah! -It's Nelson! -One, two, three! | 0:05:53 | 0:06:00 | |
-Ahem! Nelson! -Hello! I've invented a new game! Want to join in? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:09 | |
No, we don't! We came to ask you to stop! | 0:06:09 | 0:06:15 | |
-But it's fun! -No, it's a nuisance! Some of us have eggs to look after! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:23 | |
Some of us have delicate knees. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
Some of us need our afternoon nap. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
If we don't get it, we get unreasonably grumpy! | 0:06:31 | 0:06:38 | |
Afternoon nap? Boring! This is much more exciting! | 0:06:38 | 0:06:44 | |
-I'm not going to stop. -I forbid you to jump! | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
You can't forbid me! I'm bigger than the three of you put together! | 0:06:49 | 0:06:59 | |
-So there! -The other animals were not very happy. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:08 | |
He's so selfish! Not nice! We'll teach him! | 0:07:08 | 0:07:16 | |
So they thought of a plan. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
While Nelson was asleep, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
Audrey, Natalie and Reginald collected twigs and branches. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:32 | |
Oh, that's better! | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Oompah, oompah, I like to joompah! | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
-The animals had built a trampoline. -Help! I can't stop bouncing! | 0:08:14 | 0:08:22 | |
-Help me, please! -Only if you promise never to jump again. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:29 | |
-What? Never ever? -Never ever. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
But I'll be bored! I hate being bored! Aaah! | 0:08:34 | 0:08:42 | |
Maybe we're being too hard on him. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
WHISPERING | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
-We've got a compromise. -A what? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
A solution that's good for us and you too. | 0:08:54 | 0:09:00 | |
- Stop jumping. - But we will play with you. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:06 | |
-OK. -You have to promise. -I promise! Will you help now? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:13 | |
-Ouch, my bottom! What shall we play? -Snakes and ladders. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:27 | |
So, Reginald made some ladders | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
and the others caught some snakes. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
And they played snakes and ladders together. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:53 | |
So, that's the end! | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
I hope you realise this story was GREATLY exaggerated! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:21 | |
Silly elephant! I still love you. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-Well...time for bed now, young lady. -Good night, Nelson. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:31 | |
-Good night, Lucy. -Sleep tight! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
