0:16:08 > 0:16:12Bedtime, Lucy! >
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, Mum.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Hello!
0:16:38 > 0:16:45- Oh, hi, Lucy. - Hi, Boris. What are we queuing for?
0:16:45 > 0:16:51Here. Take my place. You'll soon find out.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55ANIMALS WHISPER
0:16:59 > 0:17:07- Hello, Lucy. What's your problem, then?- Problem?- I'm an agony ostrich.
0:17:07 > 0:17:15- Agony ostrich?- I solve the animals' problems. What's your problem?
0:17:15 > 0:17:24- I don't have one. I want to hear a story.- Well, I could take a break.
0:17:24 > 0:17:31- I'll try and find someone to tell you a story.- Couldn't YOU tell me one?
0:17:31 > 0:17:38- Maybe I could tell you the story of Ronald And The Tic-Tic Bird.- Great!
0:17:38 > 0:17:47In Africa, where we used to live, each of us had a special best friend.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Natalie's best friend was Molly.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Doris's best friend was Toby, the tortoise.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02Giggles' best friend was Tickles, of course!
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Ronald the rhino's best friend was a tic-tic bird.
0:18:07 > 0:18:14It was called a tic-tic bird because it ate the tics which annoyed Ronald.
0:18:14 > 0:18:21So, Ronald never got itchy, and the tic-tic bird was never hungry.
0:18:21 > 0:18:27Ronald and the tic-tic bird were really made for each other.
0:18:27 > 0:18:35- That grass looks good, Ronald.- It is. How are the tics today?- Tasty.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38RONALD YAWNS
0:18:38 > 0:18:46It seemed nothing would come between them. But one day, something did.
0:18:46 > 0:18:53Ronald suddenly found that tic-tic bird's whistling really annoyed him.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57BIRD WHISTLES
0:18:57 > 0:19:06- Must you always whistle that tune? - Don't you like it?- Not ALL the time.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- Sorry. I didn't know it upset you. - HE WHISTLES
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Ohhhh...
0:19:14 > 0:19:21And the tic-tic bird was fed up with Ronald's habit of bashing boulders.
0:19:21 > 0:19:28- Do you have to bash every boulder in sight?- I like bashing boulders.
0:19:28 > 0:19:36- No, Ronald. It's too big. Don't bash that one!- Ronald couldn't resist.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42It was the biggest boulder he had ever seen.
0:19:42 > 0:19:50You don't like my whistling? Well, I don't like you bashing boulders.
0:19:50 > 0:19:57I get shaken to pieces! I think we should go our own separate ways.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Suits me. And good riddance!
0:20:02 > 0:20:06ANIMALS GOSSIP
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Oh!
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Aw...
0:20:15 > 0:20:24Days went by, and there was no sign of Ronald and the bird becoming pals.
0:20:24 > 0:20:31In fact, they kept as far apart from each other as possible!
0:20:31 > 0:20:35The other animals tried to help.
0:20:35 > 0:20:42- If you're looking for something to eat, try between my teeth...- OK.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47I suppose I could take a look.
0:20:47 > 0:20:54On second thoughts, Victor, I'd prefer to eat in the open air!
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Ohhh! Ohhh!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Rotten tics! They're everywhere!
0:21:02 > 0:21:10Get the tics off my back and I'll show you what it's like to motor!
0:21:10 > 0:21:16Faster than that old rhino you used to hang out with, eh? Let's go!
0:21:24 > 0:21:31I have never had an itch like this before. ..Ouch!
0:21:31 > 0:21:38- You're looking a bit down today. Missing your friend?- No.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- Fancy giving me a clean? I suffer from the odd insect myself.- Oh, OK.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49ELEPHANT GIGGLES
0:21:49 > 0:21:53What's up?
0:21:53 > 0:22:01- What's the joke?- No... No... You'll have to stop! I'm too ticklish!
0:22:01 > 0:22:09It seemed the tic-tic bird would stay hungry and Ronald would stay itchy.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Horrible bugs... Rotten tics...
0:22:13 > 0:22:18HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:22:18 > 0:22:26- Oh, hello, Ronald. What can I do for you? Boulder problems?- Um...no.
0:22:26 > 0:22:34- My boulders are fine. It's...- Yes? - It's the tics. They make me itchy.
0:22:34 > 0:22:43- They're driving me mad!- I thought a bird helped you out with that.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Not any more. There's just me.
0:22:47 > 0:22:54- Well, don't worry. I know a friend who'll be perfect for the job.- Yes?
0:22:54 > 0:23:02Yes. Be at the billobag tree at noon and I'll arrange a meeting.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Ohh...
0:23:18 > 0:23:25- Hello, tic-tic bird. How are you? - OK. But I'm getting pretty hungry.
0:23:25 > 0:23:33- And I really need a place to live. And I miss Ro...- Yes?- Oh, no-one.
0:23:33 > 0:23:40- Can you help?- I suppose so. Didn't you have an animal who helped you?
0:23:40 > 0:23:48- Not any more.- I see. In that case, there's a friend you should meet.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53- Be at the billobag tree at noon. - OK, then.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59WHISTLING
0:23:59 > 0:24:08- You always did whistle a good tune. - Bashed any good boulders?- A couple.
0:24:08 > 0:24:15- I'm here to meet a friend.- Me too. Mine is late.- Mine as well.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21- Ohh! Oh... - HE WHISTLES
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Tics?- Loads of them.
0:24:27 > 0:24:34- I don't suppose... - I am a bit peckish.
0:24:45 > 0:24:52There was only one thing left bothering the two friends.
0:24:52 > 0:25:00- Audrey arranged for me to meet someone who didn't show up.- Me too.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04She's just so unreliable.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Calls herself an agony ostrich!
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- Well done. You made them friends. - Yes.
0:25:12 > 0:25:19But every time I give advice, it seems to get me into trouble.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24Oh, dear. No more advice tonight.
0:25:24 > 0:25:31- Except I'd like to advise Lucy it's probably time for bed.- Yes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:39I'm glad Ronald and the bird are friends. I'm glad you're my friends.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Good night.- Good night.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Good night.
