0:01:09 > 0:01:12Bedtime, Lucy! >

0:01:12 > 0:01:14OK, Mum.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Hi, everyone! - ALL: Hi, Lucy!

0:01:39 > 0:01:45- Do you like my new bracelet? - Oh...that's very pretty!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Whose name is that?

0:01:47 > 0:01:51It says...E...M...M...A.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Emma!

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Was it a present from Emma?

0:01:56 > 0:02:01Uh...no. Not really. I borrowed it from her.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05So you asked Emma if you could wear her bracelet for a while?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Um...not exactly.

0:02:11 > 0:02:16This reminds me of the story of Pauline the Pelican.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Would you like to hear it?- Well...

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Oh, yes...

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- I think you should.- All right.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I do love your stories, Molly.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34Every day, just as the sun was climbing in the sky,

0:02:34 > 0:02:40Pauline the Pelican would go fishing for her breakfast on Waterlily Lake.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47One day, the fish were particularly clever and slippery.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06No matter how hard she tried, Pauline couldn't catch a thing.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09HE CAWS

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Look out below! Yummy fish in view!

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Nee-yer-r-r-r!

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Seamus the Stork wasn't having any trouble finding fish.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24He'd caught lots of fish that day already.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29One for me...and one for me!

0:03:29 > 0:03:35I'll take another one for me! And one for Seamus, of course!

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Seamus had caught so many fish,

0:03:38 > 0:03:41he couldn't carry them all back to his nest!

0:03:44 > 0:03:49Well, I suppose I can leave this one behind and come back for it later!

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Ready for take-off? Let's go! Br-rr-m!

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Vr-room! Vroom!

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Seamus had left behind a very big and tasty fish,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04and Pauline was feeling hungry.

0:04:04 > 0:04:10RUMBLING Oh! That's me tummy rumbling!

0:04:10 > 0:04:16Seamus doesn't need this fish. I'll take it and catch one for him later.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21I'm sure he won't mind! Anyway, he'll never know.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23What a cheek!

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Herbert the Warthog was feeling happy.

0:04:29 > 0:04:34He's just had a dust bath and found a huge watermelon.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49My watermelon! Where's it gone? Where's it gone?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Ooh! What a nasty shock that was!

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Naughty watermelon! Hiding from Herbert!

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Safe at last! Time for a little trot before lunchtime.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Why not? Then I'll gobble it down!

0:05:05 > 0:05:09HE CHORTLES

0:05:09 > 0:05:13Pauline thought the watermelon looked delicious.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Ooh! My watermelon!

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Where's it gone?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31As Pauline flew over the savanna,

0:05:31 > 0:05:36she spotted Reginald the Lion dozing in the long grass.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39HE SNUFFLES

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Snooze...mmm...

0:05:44 > 0:05:47My lovely, tasty bone!

0:05:47 > 0:05:48Mmm!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53HE SNORES

0:05:53 > 0:05:59Reginald is fast asleep. I'm sure he won't mind if I eat that bone now

0:05:59 > 0:06:01and bring him another one later.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Lovely bone! Just for Reggie!

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Mmm... Huh?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I don't believe it!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Pauline's beak was so full of food,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40she couldn't fly.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45She had to walk the rest of the way back home.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56< Hello?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59< Anyone at home?

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Good evening, Pauline.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06MUFFLED SPEECH

0:07:06 > 0:07:11- We're not disturbing your tea, or anything(?)- Mm-mm!

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Actually, we've come to warn you! Mm? >

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- It seems... - Someone wolfed my watermelon!

0:07:18 > 0:07:23I'd buried it in the safest place in the whole savanna!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Now it's gone! It's not fair!

0:07:26 > 0:07:29MUFFLED SPEECH

0:07:29 > 0:07:34- Someone has been taking food without asking.- I- lost a bone!

0:07:34 > 0:07:39- I lost a fish!- I lost the juiciest watermelon in the whole world!

0:07:39 > 0:07:45So be on your guard, Pauline Pelican. Don't leave any food lying around.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Or you might be next!- Even hiding it in holes doesn't help!

0:07:50 > 0:07:55Well, we'll leave you to get on with whatever you were doing.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Just thought we'd warn you.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Bye!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Mmm...mmm!

0:08:02 > 0:08:07Pauline felt very guilty, and wished she'd never taken the food.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12Even though she was so hungry that her tummy was rumbling,

0:08:12 > 0:08:16she decided to give the food back to her friends.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42SNORING

0:08:44 > 0:08:49This'll be hard. If Reginald catches me with his bone, I'm in trouble.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Oh, well, here goes...

0:09:00 > 0:09:04It was very dark when Pauline finally got home.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07She hadn't eaten anything all day,

0:09:07 > 0:09:12but she was happy that all the food was back where it belonged

0:09:12 > 0:09:14and she fell into a deep sleep.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18BIRDS TWEET

0:09:18 > 0:09:21RATTLING Eh?

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Wakey, wakey, Pauline! - What's happening?

0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Is it someone's birthday?- No! - And it's not Christmas?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- No! - So...?

0:09:35 > 0:09:40We decided we had so much food, we'd share it and have a party!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43The cake is for you, our favourite pelican.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46I don't know what to say!

0:09:46 > 0:09:49How about..."Let's eat"?

0:09:49 > 0:09:54Yeah, let's go down to the lake and eat our cake.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Fishes and cream! Oh...! Yippee! Yeah!

0:09:59 > 0:10:05- Pauline was very happy.- And Seamus, Reggie and Herbert were happy too.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07And they all had lots to eat!

0:10:07 > 0:10:12- I think I'll give Emma her bracelet back tomorrow.- Good idea!

0:10:12 > 0:10:18- I'll make her a cake, like they did for Pauline!- With fishes and cream?!

0:10:18 > 0:10:22YUK! I don't think so! I want her to stay my friend!

0:10:22 > 0:10:28It's much too late for baking cakes now. Time for bed, I think.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Thanks for the story. Good night!

0:10:33 > 0:10:36ALL: Good night, Lucy!
