0:01:08 > 0:01:12Bedtime, Lucy! >

0:01:12 > 0:01:15OK, Mum.

0:01:36 > 0:01:44- Hi, everyone.- ALL: Hi, Lucy.- Who's going to tell me a story tonight?

0:01:44 > 0:01:48We haven't decided yet. Uh...

0:01:48 > 0:01:56Then I'll decide. I need someone to tie this blindfold for me.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Now someone has to spin me round.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I'm feeling dizzy.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Let's see who will tell me a story.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19ANIMALS GIGGLE

0:02:19 > 0:02:23This is a strange animal.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28That's not an animal. It's a tree.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35Silly me! Maybe if I walk this way...

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Oh, that tickles!

0:02:39 > 0:02:44Nelson, YOU have to tell me a story.

0:02:44 > 0:02:52- I'm not sure I have a story.- Tell Lucy about when you became a dad.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Nelson, a dad?!- Well, not exactly.

0:02:56 > 0:03:01I'll tell you the story of Audrey's egg.

0:03:01 > 0:03:08A warm breeze was blowing across the African savannah.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11The breeze became a wind.

0:03:11 > 0:03:17The wind blew harder and harder and harder.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21It was now a very, VERY windy day.

0:03:21 > 0:03:30The wind is blowing away my nest. My poor egg will be too cold to hatch.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Groovy hairpiece, man.

0:03:35 > 0:03:43I need to get more twigs for the nest. But I can't leave my egg.

0:03:43 > 0:03:50What I need is someone to look after it for a while.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56Perfect! Excuse me, Natalie.

0:03:57 > 0:04:05- Hello, Audrey. How's the new egg? - Actually, I need to ask a favour.

0:04:05 > 0:04:13- Ask away.- My nest has been blown away. I have to build a new one.

0:04:13 > 0:04:19- I need someone to egg-sit for me. - Egg-sit?!

0:04:19 > 0:04:28Look after the egg till I get back. All you have to do is keep it warm.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33- All right.- You are kind!- Bye.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Keep it warm, eh?

0:04:38 > 0:04:44Natalie found sitting on the egg difficult.

0:04:46 > 0:04:54I don't think antelopes can do this. I'll find someone to take my place.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Sorry, Nelson. Didn't see you there.

0:05:03 > 0:05:11Yes, we elephants are masters of disguise. Can I help?

0:05:11 > 0:05:17Yes. ..No. Fancy a spot of egg-sitting?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20What is it those birds do?

0:05:20 > 0:05:25'I was worried I'd break the egg.

0:05:25 > 0:05:33'I needed to find a smaller animal to egg-sit. Wait here, little egg.'

0:05:38 > 0:05:43- Hello, Ronald. ..Hello, tic-tic bird.- BOTH: Hello.

0:05:43 > 0:05:51- Ronald, can I borrow your tic-tic bird for a while?- I suppose so.

0:05:51 > 0:05:57- But bring him back quickly. - I won't take long.

0:06:04 > 0:06:12This is an egg, and you're a bird. Sit on the egg and keep it warm.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16I'll be back soon.

0:06:16 > 0:06:22'The tic-tic bird was too small to cover the egg.

0:06:22 > 0:06:29'He looked for an egg-sitter larger than a tic-tic bird.'

0:06:35 > 0:06:43Ticky, what's up? Has Ronald given you the day off?

0:06:43 > 0:06:47No, I'm egg-sitting for a friend.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52Sounds like fun. Yeah.

0:06:52 > 0:06:57The tic-tic bird left the egg to Giggles and Tickles.

0:06:57 > 0:07:04Thanks. Be sure to keep the egg warm. Bye!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Here, catch!

0:07:07 > 0:07:11I've never juggled with four before.

0:07:18 > 0:07:24I'm bored. Me, too. Let's go to the water hole.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36'All the animals were gathered for a drink.'

0:07:36 > 0:07:43- Hi, Nelson. Where is it? - Where's what?- The egg, of course.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48I left it with the tic-tic bird.

0:07:50 > 0:07:57- Where's the egg?- I left it with Giggles and Tickles.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07Why did you leave the egg? What egg?

0:08:07 > 0:08:12The one I left you in charge of. That egg?

0:08:12 > 0:08:16The egg-sitters were very worried.

0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Why wasn't- I- asked to egg-sit?

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Oh!- Give the egg back. Yeah!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30What egg?

0:08:30 > 0:08:36You've eaten something. Yeah, that bulge.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39That's...

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Give it back!

0:08:44 > 0:08:49A watermelon. That was my tea.

0:08:49 > 0:08:55- We are sorry. - We were worried about the egg.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59We promised to look after it.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Is that your egg over there?

0:09:10 > 0:09:14'Just then, Audrey arrived back.'

0:09:14 > 0:09:17What's this?!

0:09:17 > 0:09:26What a wonderful job you've all done! You've hatched the egg.

0:09:26 > 0:09:34You're as beautiful as I knew you would be. Marvellous egg-sitters!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37THEY GIGGLE

0:09:40 > 0:09:46Who's a beautiful osty-wosty, then?

0:09:46 > 0:09:51- I'm its dad.- And I'm its mum.

0:09:51 > 0:09:59- No, I'M its mum.- Don't worry, you can all be parents. Look!

0:09:59 > 0:10:06I've laid some more eggs. I'll need lots more help.

0:10:06 > 0:10:11ANIMALS CHEER

0:10:11 > 0:10:17- That was lovely. What happened to Audrey's eggs?

0:10:17 > 0:10:22They all hatched and grew into fine ostriches.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26She had such good egg-sitters.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30And a dad like Nelson!

0:10:30 > 0:10:37- That's enough baby talk. Ready for bed, Lucy?- OK.

0:10:37 > 0:10:42- Good night.- ALL: Good night, Lucy.
