0:01:08 > 0:01:12Bedtime, Lucy! >
0:01:12 > 0:01:15OK, Mum.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26TAPPING
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Hi, everyone!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Hello! Anyone at home?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's Lucy! I've arrived!
0:01:44 > 0:01:50- Ooh, it tickles!- Serves you right! It's as if you didn't recognise me.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well... You do look, em...
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Yes?- ..Different.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Actually, Lucy, you look very grown-up.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04That's exactly what I was hoping you'd say.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09I want to look grown-up! Grown-ups stay up late and boss people around!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12ALL: Oh, no!
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Don't blush, Lucy! Sometimes we all wish we were someone different.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I wish I was Tickles. He knows the best jokes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Sometimes, I wish I was as big and strong as Nelson!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31And once, I wished I could fly like a bird.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Now, you're making fun of me!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36No, we're not!
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- It's true! - Nelson did want to be a bird!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44It was a long time ago...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47but, yes...I was a bird for a day.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53I still hold the long-distance flying record for elephants!
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Really?- Go on, Molly, you tell the story.- All right, then.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05'Nelson was always busy doing "elephanty" things.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09'He was big and strong and helped the other animals.'
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Oh, no...!
0:03:29 > 0:03:34'Nelson was so good at doing "elephanty" things,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37'that he got a bit bored.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Oh, this is all too easy!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I need a new challenge.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46'And that's when Nelson spotted a weaverbird.'
0:03:46 > 0:03:49WEAVERBIRD SINGS
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Oh, thanks!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- What are you doing? - I'm making a nest.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01All birds have nests. They're nice and comfy to sleep in.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- Could I build one?- I suppose so. It would have to be big!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10That's OK - I've got all day!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13'So, Nelson started to build a nest.'
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Uh...!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32'Nelson liked his nest very much!'
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I want to be a bird!
0:04:37 > 0:04:41'His friend, the weaverbird, agreed to give Nelson a few lessons.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46'First, the weaverbird showed Nelson how to flap his wings.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52'Nelson didn't have wings to flap so he flapped his ears instead...'
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Oh...!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56'But that didn't work.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59'The weaverbird mentioned feathers.'
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Feathers?- They help birds to fly!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07You need lots and lots of feathers.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Here's one to get you started.
0:05:10 > 0:05:16'So Nelson borrowed a feather from each of his bird friends.'
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Ouch!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27At last! I'm a bird!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I'm a bird! I'm a...!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35'Nelson thought he would never be able to fly!'
0:05:35 > 0:05:38< SINGING
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Here, Nelson! Come and look at this!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Uh... It's a tree!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I've seen one before!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53This just isn't any old tree!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55This is a helicopter tree!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58A helicopter tree?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Here...! Watch this!
0:06:01 > 0:06:06'The seed of the helicopter tree gave him a brilliant idea.'
0:06:06 > 0:06:09What you making, Nelson?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12You'll see.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20- What do you think of my helicopter blades?- But they're banana leaves!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Give it a spin and then stand well back!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Be careful, Nelson!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Ooh, I'm flying!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Well done, Nelson!
0:06:34 > 0:06:39This is great! You get such a good view from up here!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Hello, Audrey!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Oh...!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Oh, hello, Nelson!
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Hello, weaverbird!- Yoo-hoo!
0:06:50 > 0:06:56'But soon, Nelson began to take being a bird a bit too seriously.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03'He tried to hatch some watermelons.'
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Oh...!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Ooh...!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12'He wanted to catch worms like the weaverbird.
0:07:12 > 0:07:19'Worms were a bit small for him but snakes were just the right size.'
0:07:19 > 0:07:21HISS
0:07:23 > 0:07:25'It got really bad
0:07:25 > 0:07:30'when he tried to beat the world long-distance flying record!'
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Is this a good idea?
0:07:32 > 0:07:39I'm not an elephant any more - I'm a bird now! I've practised very hard!
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- It's very windy!- Huh! We birds don't mind a little breeze!
0:07:46 > 0:07:51'The wind caught Nelson and he flew high up into the air.'
0:07:52 > 0:07:55BIRDS SING
0:07:55 > 0:08:00'Then, the wind began to blow even stronger!'
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Oh...oh...! Look out...!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Woh...!
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Ahem! Dangerous flying, ignoring a traffic signal,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19failing to report an accident with a flamingo
0:08:19 > 0:08:24AND landing in a manner such as to endanger other animals!
0:08:25 > 0:08:31'Nelson realised that he wasn't really a very good bird.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37'The animals thought of a plan to make Nelson feel better again.'
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Oh, my! Oh, my! Oh, my!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Oh, dear!- Oh, my!- Oh, dear!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49What's going on down there?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54A big boulder rolled in front of King Snake's burrow.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It's heavy! No-one can lift it. I'm off to get help.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I could move it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07No, you're a bird - birds can't shift boulders!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10No, I'm not! I'm an elephant!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I feel better already!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Oh!- Oh!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20THUNDERING TREMORS
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Thank you, Nelson.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31'Nelson was helping the others by doing things only an elephant can do
0:09:31 > 0:09:34'and he was happy again.'
0:09:34 > 0:09:40It is with great pleasure, I accept this award for long-distance flying.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42CHEERS
0:09:44 > 0:09:48But...I have decided that the sky is for the birds.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52From now on, I will be an elephant again!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54CHEERS
0:09:54 > 0:09:59'All the animals were pleased to have back the old Nelson again.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:04That's amazing, Nelson! You actually learned to fly!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Whee...! I'm an elephant bird!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I like you better as big, strong Nelson, the elephant.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And we like you just the way you are.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Not too grown-up!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Everybody's special.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Especially you!
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- Good night, everyone. - ALL: Good night, Lucy!
