0:22:40 > 0:22:46BOTH: Your majesty, we bring you palm leaf fans to keep you cool.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00- Of course.- Does your majesty require anything else?

0:24:00 > 0:24:03Um...no, thank you.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08In that case, Toby and I will go for a wallow in the mud pool.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Can...I come?

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Sorry, your royal duckness.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19Wallowing in the mud is not something princesses do.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22'Doris could stand it no longer.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25'She loved splashing in the mud pool.'

0:24:25 > 0:24:30I'm not a princess any more. I'm just plain old Doris the duck,
