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

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

0:01:36 > 0:01:45- That was a great pirouette.- Thanks. I've just had my first dance lesson.

0:01:45 > 0:01:55- I need a partner. Come on, Boris! - Dear me, no. I don't think I can.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Of course you can.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03ANIMALS LAUGH

0:02:03 > 0:02:11- Boris was right!- It reminds me of my first ballet lesson.- You - ballet?!

0:02:11 > 0:02:16My friend Nathalie taught me to dance.

0:02:16 > 0:02:24And you became quite a good dancer, in your own...special way.

0:02:24 > 0:02:31'Molly and Nathalie loved dancing together across the savanna.'

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Watch this!

0:02:34 > 0:02:39'Nathalie was as graceful as a ballerina.'

0:02:39 > 0:02:44- Wait for me!- 'But Molly wasn't.'

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Ouch! Oof!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Ooh! Ouch!

0:02:56 > 0:03:01I wish I was as good a dancer as you, Nathalie.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06At least you're trying. That's half the fun.

0:03:06 > 0:03:14'Nathalie didn't mind that Molly wasn't as good a dancer as her.

0:03:14 > 0:03:20'Then, one day, I saw them dancing together.'

0:03:20 > 0:03:26There's going to be a dance competition tomorrow!

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Really?- I love competitions.

0:03:30 > 0:03:40- You can enter this one.- Oh, Molly, we can do it together.- I'd love to.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Come on. We've got to practise.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51Just watch what I do and copy me.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55One, two, three, one, two, three.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00OK. One, two, three, one...

0:04:00 > 0:04:06No, Molly! You must step LIGHTLY. See?

0:04:06 > 0:04:14- One, two, three. - Sorry, Nathalie. I'll try again.

0:04:14 > 0:04:22- One, two, three, one, two, three... - Please, girls, keep the noise down.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Sorry, Audrey.

0:04:26 > 0:04:35I'll never win the dance competition with you. I'll find somebody else.

0:04:35 > 0:04:41'Molly couldn't believe Nathalie left her.

0:04:41 > 0:04:47'Winning was more important than their friendship.

0:04:47 > 0:04:54- 'It wasn't easy finding a partner.' - Too small! ..Too big!

0:04:54 > 0:04:59'Then she saw Doris the duck.'

0:05:01 > 0:05:09- Would you like to dance with me in the competition?- I'd love to.

0:05:12 > 0:05:19Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!

0:05:19 > 0:05:25- Must you quack while dancing? - It's fun!

0:05:25 > 0:05:33- If that's the case, I can't dance with you.- Oh. Suit yourself.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38'Nathalie looked for another partner.

0:05:38 > 0:05:44'Herbert the warthog was the most musical animal around.'

0:05:44 > 0:05:53- Herbert, would you like to dance with me?- Me? I'd be honoured!

0:05:55 > 0:05:59SHE COUGHS

0:05:59 > 0:06:06- You're getting dirt all over me! - But I'm a warthog.

0:06:06 > 0:06:14- Then I can't dance with you. - Well, I never! The cheek of it!

0:06:14 > 0:06:22'Nathalie went in search of another dance partner. Then she saw me.'

0:06:22 > 0:06:31She'd make the perfect partner! Georgina, will you dance with me?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35I thought Molly was your partner.

0:06:35 > 0:06:42She's too heavy. I'd never win with her.

0:06:42 > 0:06:49- Well, I'd never win with YOU. You're far too short.- Oh.

0:06:49 > 0:06:56How could she not want to dance with me? Everybody else does.

0:06:56 > 0:07:04'Nathalie realised why I didn't want to dance with her.'

0:07:04 > 0:07:12She sees me like I see Molly. I'm not good enough for her!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Molly!

0:07:21 > 0:07:29'Molly danced beautifully underwater. Her weight didn't matter there.'

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Molly's a great dancer down there!

0:07:33 > 0:07:37I'm so sorry I left you.

0:07:37 > 0:07:46- I wish you'd told me you could dance so well.- But we can't dance on land.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50We can still be partners.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56'It was the day of the dance competition.'

0:07:56 > 0:08:04OK, OK. Time to begin. Bring on the first contestants.

0:08:04 > 0:08:12'The competition began with Isabel the flamingo and Seamus the stork.'

0:08:19 > 0:08:26- They're very good. - But not great, like you and me.

0:08:33 > 0:08:38APPLAUSE Next - Giggles and Tickles.

0:08:50 > 0:08:57Don't worry. This competition's about dancing, not comedy. We're on!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01'It was Nathalie and Molly's turn.

0:09:06 > 0:09:13'Everybody could see Nathalie dancing on the river bank.

0:09:13 > 0:09:19'But they had to look underwater to see Molly.'

0:09:24 > 0:09:27CHEERING

0:09:27 > 0:09:31'It was time to announce the winners.'

0:09:31 > 0:09:35THEY MURMUR

0:09:35 > 0:09:41OK, OK. Best dance goes to Isabel and Seamus.

0:09:46 > 0:09:52'Nathalie and Molly were crushed. They'd lost!'

0:09:52 > 0:10:04There's more than one prize. For the silliest dance, Giggles and Tickles!

0:10:04 > 0:10:11And for the most unusual dance ever, Molly and Nathalie!

0:10:11 > 0:10:20- Nathalie and Molly were winners after all, and best friends again.- Whee!

0:10:20 > 0:10:25Ooh! I think it's time I bowed out.

0:10:25 > 0:10:33- Lazybones! I could...dance all night.- Was that a yawn I saw?

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Time for bed, I think.

0:10:38 > 0:10:45- Good night, everybody. - Good night, Lucy!
