0:02:08 > 0:02:12I'm Ribbit the frog! Hello!

0:02:12 > 0:02:17What's this about you not being able to skip?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- I can't do it.- We'll soon fix that.

0:02:21 > 0:02:28My friend Joey had the same problem. Let me tell you about it.

0:02:29 > 0:02:36'Joey was a little kangaroo who lived in Australia.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40'When he was born, he was so small.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45'His mum carried him in her pouch.'

0:02:45 > 0:02:52- G'day, Janet!- G'day, Julie! - How's little Joey today?- He's fine.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56My Jimmy is teething. Show us!

0:02:56 > 0:03:05- They grow up so fast!- It seems like only yesterday I had my first!- Ouch!

0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Stop it! - There's Janice with the triplets.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14TRIPLETS: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

0:03:14 > 0:03:18BOTH: G'day, Janice. Hi, girls.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23I hope they start jumping soon.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28They'll all start jumping soon! Yeah!

0:03:28 > 0:03:32'Then came spring -

0:03:34 > 0:03:42'when baby kangaroos leave their mums' pouches and start to jump.'

0:03:42 > 0:03:48Hey, Joey! We're entering the Junior Jump! You?

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- He's too young!- I'm NOT! Look!

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Joey's got flat feet!

0:03:58 > 0:04:01ALL: Joey can't jump!

0:04:01 > 0:04:08It's time for your first jumping lesson. Watch your dad.

0:04:11 > 0:04:18'Joey's dad was a champion bouncer - no kangaroo could jump higher.'

0:04:18 > 0:04:22That's how you do it. Your turn, son.

0:04:22 > 0:04:30- But I CAN'T jump!- What do you mean?! - 'Course you can. Just try!

0:04:34 > 0:04:38You can't jump? I don't believe it!

0:04:38 > 0:04:45Now, Ray, he'll learn when he's ready! Don't you worry, Joey.

0:05:05 > 0:05:13It's getting a bit wet down here. The rainy season must be early this year.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20Hello, son. I'm Ribbit. Ribbit the frog.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Hey, there, little Roo. Don't cry.

0:05:24 > 0:05:30Here, watch this. ..Ribbit!

0:05:31 > 0:05:37No use crying. I'll solve your problems.

0:05:37 > 0:05:43I have a great, big problem that no-one can solve.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Tell Ribbit all about it.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51- I can't jump.- Can't jump?

0:05:51 > 0:05:58A kangaroo that can't jump? Impossible! Wait here.

0:06:01 > 0:06:08These are my jumping boots. You can borrow them if you like.

0:06:08 > 0:06:15- It won't work. I'll never be able to jump.- Go on, give it a try.

0:06:18 > 0:06:24And now jump! Jump! You can do it, Joey. Just try.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Oh! ..I did it! I jumped!

0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Yeah!- Higher, and higher! - And higher!

0:06:35 > 0:06:42'In the morning, Joey bounced right back to his mum and dad.'

0:06:43 > 0:06:51- Look! I can jump!- Oh, Joey!- Now we can enter you for the Junior Jump.

0:06:51 > 0:06:57'Kangaroos came to the billabong from miles around.

0:06:57 > 0:07:05'All the young roos were there with their mums, dads, aunts and uncles.'

0:07:05 > 0:07:13My Joey is only this big, but, boy, can he bounce! There he is. Joey!

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Why are YOU here? You can't jump!
