Bedtime, Lucy! >

0:01:080:01:12

OK, Mum.

0:01:120:01:15

-Hi, everyone!

-Hi, Lucy!

-Ooh!

0:01:350:01:40

Why have Giggles and Tickles turned their backs on one another?

0:01:410:01:46

-They are not talking.

-That's silly.

0:01:460:01:49

-Hi, guys.

-Hi.

-So you ARE talking!

0:01:490:01:53

We're talking to YOU, but I'm not talking to HIM!

0:01:530:01:57

And I'M not talking to IT!

0:01:570:02:00

-Why not?

-Giggles wants to tell the story and it's MY turn.

0:02:000:02:05

Please tell Banana-face it's NOT his turn!

0:02:050:02:10

-Giggles says it's not...

-Please tell Mr Clever-Tail it IS my turn!

0:02:100:02:16

Wait! I won't listen to your shouting any more.

0:02:160:02:20

-It's not Giggles' turn to tell a story.

-Ha!

0:02:200:02:24

And it's not Tickles' turn to tell a story either.

0:02:240:02:30

-It's time for both of you to tell ME a story.

-BOTH of us?!

0:02:320:02:39

THEY WHISPER

0:02:390:02:42

TOGETHER: This is the story of Esmeralda the Snake.

0:02:420:02:47

Esmeralda the Snake lived in a burrow in a sandy hill

0:02:470:02:53

where the desert meets the jungle.

0:02:530:02:57

Esmeralda was very house-proud. She was always tidying up.

0:02:570:03:03

On the other side of the jungle, in another burrow,

0:03:090:03:13

lived Herbert the Warthog.

0:03:130:03:16

Herbert was not so tidy.

0:03:170:03:20

HE BURPS

0:03:200:03:23

One day, the big rains came to the savannah.

0:03:240:03:30

It rained, and rained, and rained.

0:03:300:03:33

By the time the rains stopped, Herbert's home was flooded.

0:03:410:03:46

Oh!

0:03:460:03:48

I'll have to go and stay with a friend.

0:03:480:03:53

-Hey, Herbert!

-Oh!

0:03:580:04:01

-What's up, Warthog?

-Ah, Giggles, Tickles - I was looking for you.

0:04:010:04:07

You see, my house has been flooded and I've got nowhere to stay.

0:04:070:04:12

-Could I...?

-Of course! You can stay with us as long as you like.

0:04:120:04:18

Just climb up and get comfortable.

0:04:180:04:21

'It was then that Herbert discovered something.'

0:04:240:04:30

I'm scared of heights!

0:04:300:04:33

Oh!

0:04:330:04:36

Herbert couldn't stay with us, so he kept on looking for somewhere to go.

0:04:360:04:42

-It looks like I'll have to get used to being homeless.

-Hello, Herbert!

0:04:440:04:50

Oh! Hello, Esmeralda. That's a nice burrow you've got there.

0:04:500:04:55

Yes, I'm lucky. It's warm and dry.

0:04:550:04:59

We've had such a lot of rain lately.

0:04:590:05:02

Tell me about it. My home has been washed away. I have nowhere to stay.

0:05:020:05:07

Why, that's awful.

0:05:070:05:10

Why don't you stay with me?

0:05:100:05:13

Thanks! I'll move in right away.

0:05:130:05:17

Oh...good.

0:05:170:05:19

-Oh!

-Is something wrong?

0:05:220:05:26

No, no. Um...

0:05:260:05:29

Make yourself at home.

0:05:290:05:33

Oh.

0:05:330:05:35

Esmeralda was already regretting offering Herbert a place to live.

0:05:350:05:41

So she decided to go over a few house rules.

0:05:410:05:46

Most importantly, you mustn't touch my collection of neat things.

0:05:460:05:52

Wouldn't dream of it.

0:05:520:05:55

I'll just fetch a few essentials.

0:05:550:05:59

-Herbert!

-Esmeralda, don't be such an old fusspot.

0:06:020:06:07

Sit down and relax and I'll play you a nice tune.

0:06:070:06:12

Ooh! Don't you like my music?

0:06:180:06:21

Oh. Sorry. I'll go and find some lunch.

0:06:220:06:26

Herbert wanted to please Esmeralda so much,

0:06:290:06:33

that he went looking for a special warthog treat.

0:06:330:06:39

That's better. All neat and tidy again.

0:06:410:06:47

Esmeralda! I'm back and I've brought you a treat.

0:06:470:06:53

Oh, Herbert, how kind. What is it?

0:06:530:06:56

-You've got to guess.

-Oh! Is it a juicy fruit?

-No.

0:06:560:07:02

-Is it a twin burger with double fries?

-No.

0:07:020:07:09

A yum-yum pie?

0:07:090:07:12

-No, it's a watermelon.

-CRASH!

0:07:120:07:16

Oh, dear. I forgot.

0:07:160:07:19

Thanks for the lunch, Mr Clumsy!

0:07:200:07:23

Don't call me clumsy, you ungrateful wiggly worm!

0:07:230:07:27

Who are you calling a wiggly worm? My lovely house is in a mess.

0:07:270:07:33

What are you going to do about it, Pimple-Nose?

0:07:330:07:38

I got you a juicy watermelon for lunch. I thought you'd be pleased.

0:07:380:07:43

-Where IS my watermelon, Miss Sausage?

-I've eaten it, so there!

0:07:430:07:49

That's not fair. It was for us both.

0:07:490:07:52

I'm not staying here to be insulted.

0:07:520:07:55

-Good. And take your musical rocks with you!

-Ow!

0:07:550:08:01

Esmeralda went to sleep.

0:08:030:08:06

She didn't hear the big sandstorm blowing in from the desert.

0:08:060:08:12

It blew, and blew, and blew,

0:08:120:08:15

until it blew away Esmeralda's home.

0:08:150:08:18

Now Esmeralda was homeless, too. SHE SIGHS

0:08:270:08:32

-What are you doing here?

-The big wind blew away my home.

0:08:380:08:43

-I was just thinking about how much I missed you.

-I missed you, too.

0:08:430:08:49

-I'm sorry.

-Me too.

-And now we're both homeless.

0:08:490:08:54

Then Alan the Aardvark had a good idea.

0:08:540:08:59

ALAN THE AARDVARK MUTTERS

0:09:030:09:07

Leave it to me.

0:09:070:09:10

You mustn't be sad any more.

0:09:200:09:22

-But we've had a big row.

-And we're homeless.

0:09:220:09:27

-We're allowed to be sad.

-Not any more. Follow me.

0:09:270:09:32

BOTH: Gracious!

0:09:420:09:44

'Ronald had made them a new home with three rooms -

0:09:460:09:52

'one for Esmeralda's neat things,

0:09:520:09:55

'one for Herbert's messy things,

0:09:550:09:58

'and one that was half-neat and half-messy,

0:09:580:10:02

'where they could have fun together and invite lots of friends.'

0:10:020:10:09

And so Herbert the Warthog and Esmeralda the Snake

0:10:100:10:15

lived happily ever after. The End.

0:10:150:10:18

-Thank you both for such a lovely story.

-THEY LAUGH

0:10:180:10:23

ALL: Goodnight, Lucy.
