0:01:12 > 0:01:15OK, Mum.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40- Hi, everyone!- Hi, Lucy!- Ooh!
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Why have Giggles and Tickles turned their backs on one another?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- They are not talking.- That's silly.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Hi, guys.- Hi.- So you ARE talking!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57We're talking to YOU, but I'm not talking to HIM!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And I'M not talking to IT!
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Why not?- Giggles wants to tell the story and it's MY turn.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Please tell Banana-face it's NOT his turn!
0:02:10 > 0:02:16- Giggles says it's not...- Please tell Mr Clever-Tail it IS my turn!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Wait! I won't listen to your shouting any more.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- It's not Giggles' turn to tell a story.- Ha!
0:02:24 > 0:02:30And it's not Tickles' turn to tell a story either.
0:02:32 > 0:02:39- It's time for both of you to tell ME a story.- BOTH of us?!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42THEY WHISPER
0:02:42 > 0:02:47TOGETHER: This is the story of Esmeralda the Snake.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Esmeralda the Snake lived in a burrow in a sandy hill
0:02:53 > 0:02:57where the desert meets the jungle.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03Esmeralda was very house-proud. She was always tidying up.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13On the other side of the jungle, in another burrow,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16lived Herbert the Warthog.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Herbert was not so tidy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23HE BURPS
0:03:24 > 0:03:30One day, the big rains came to the savannah.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33It rained, and rained, and rained.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46By the time the rains stopped, Herbert's home was flooded.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Oh!
0:03:48 > 0:03:53I'll have to go and stay with a friend.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Hey, Herbert!- Oh!
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- What's up, Warthog?- Ah, Giggles, Tickles - I was looking for you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12You see, my house has been flooded and I've got nowhere to stay.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18- Could I...?- Of course! You can stay with us as long as you like.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Just climb up and get comfortable.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30'It was then that Herbert discovered something.'
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I'm scared of heights!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Oh!
0:04:36 > 0:04:42Herbert couldn't stay with us, so he kept on looking for somewhere to go.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50- It looks like I'll have to get used to being homeless.- Hello, Herbert!
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Oh! Hello, Esmeralda. That's a nice burrow you've got there.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Yes, I'm lucky. It's warm and dry.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02We've had such a lot of rain lately.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Tell me about it. My home has been washed away. I have nowhere to stay.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Why, that's awful.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Why don't you stay with me?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Thanks! I'll move in right away.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Oh...good.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Oh!- Is something wrong?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29No, no. Um...
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Make yourself at home.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oh.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41Esmeralda was already regretting offering Herbert a place to live.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46So she decided to go over a few house rules.
0:05:46 > 0:05:52Most importantly, you mustn't touch my collection of neat things.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Wouldn't dream of it.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I'll just fetch a few essentials.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- Herbert!- Esmeralda, don't be such an old fusspot.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Sit down and relax and I'll play you a nice tune.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Ooh! Don't you like my music?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Oh. Sorry. I'll go and find some lunch.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Herbert wanted to please Esmeralda so much,
0:06:33 > 0:06:39that he went looking for a special warthog treat.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47That's better. All neat and tidy again.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53Esmeralda! I'm back and I've brought you a treat.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Oh, Herbert, how kind. What is it?
0:06:56 > 0:07:02- You've got to guess. - Oh! Is it a juicy fruit?- No.
0:07:02 > 0:07:09- Is it a twin burger with double fries?- No.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12A yum-yum pie?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- No, it's a watermelon. - CRASH!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Oh, dear. I forgot.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Thanks for the lunch, Mr Clumsy!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Don't call me clumsy, you ungrateful wiggly worm!
0:07:27 > 0:07:33Who are you calling a wiggly worm? My lovely house is in a mess.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38What are you going to do about it, Pimple-Nose?
0:07:38 > 0:07:43I got you a juicy watermelon for lunch. I thought you'd be pleased.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49- Where IS my watermelon, Miss Sausage?- I've eaten it, so there!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52That's not fair. It was for us both.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I'm not staying here to be insulted.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- Good. And take your musical rocks with you!- Ow!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Esmeralda went to sleep.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12She didn't hear the big sandstorm blowing in from the desert.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15It blew, and blew, and blew,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18until it blew away Esmeralda's home.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Now Esmeralda was homeless, too. SHE SIGHS
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- What are you doing here? - The big wind blew away my home.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49- I was just thinking about how much I missed you.- I missed you, too.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- I'm sorry.- Me too. - And now we're both homeless.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Then Alan the Aardvark had a good idea.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07ALAN THE AARDVARK MUTTERS
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Leave it to me.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22You mustn't be sad any more.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- But we've had a big row. - And we're homeless.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- We're allowed to be sad. - Not any more. Follow me.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44BOTH: Gracious!
0:09:46 > 0:09:52'Ronald had made them a new home with three rooms -
0:09:52 > 0:09:55'one for Esmeralda's neat things,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58'one for Herbert's messy things,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02'and one that was half-neat and half-messy,
0:10:02 > 0:10:09'where they could have fun together and invite lots of friends.'
0:10:10 > 0:10:15And so Herbert the Warthog and Esmeralda the Snake
0:10:15 > 0:10:18lived happily ever after. The End.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- Thank you both for such a lovely story. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:30 > 0:10:33ALL: Goodnight, Lucy.
