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