Bedtime, Lucy! > | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
OK, Mum. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Hi, Lucy! | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
-Hi, everyone. -What's the matter, Lucy? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:43 | |
-I had a bad day. We all have them. -I don't. Do you, Giggles? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:50 | |
No, but I know what Lucy needs. BOTH: Some tickles! | 0:01:50 | 0:01:56 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -Oh, stop it! | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
Hey, what's happening? Put us down! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
-Do you want to tell Molly what's wrong? -Well... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
-Something happen at school? -Katy and Samantha said my hair is like straw. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:18 | |
- You have beautiful hair. - You're pretty, sweet and clever. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:25 | |
-You've got lots to be proud of. -Never mind what people say. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
Let me tell you the story of Henrietta, my cousin, in Africa. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:37 | |
Listen... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Henrietta lived in the Zamban River with the other hippos. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:46 | |
It was nice there. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
There were no crocodiles, so the hippos could splash happily. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:57 | |
Henrietta wasn't like the other hippos. She was...hairy. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:04 | |
Henrietta's hairy! Henrietta's hairy! Henrietta's hairy! | 0:03:04 | 0:03:12 | |
Henrietta felt sad when the other hippos laughed at her. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:19 | |
They don't like me! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
I want to live somewhere where the animals are nice to me. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
Maybe I could live in the desert. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
In the desert, it was hot, very hot. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
Henrietta thought about the river. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
How nice it would be to splash in the water with the other hippos. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:49 | |
There was no water. Only a lot of sand. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:56 | |
Hello. I'm Dennis the dromedary. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
I'm Henrietta Hippo from the Zamban River. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
The others don't like me because I'm hairy. I'm looking for a new home. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:14 | |
-It's too hot here. Do you know a place I would like? -Yes, I do. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:21 | |
Follow me. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Henrietta couldn't keep up with Dennis. She got very hot. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:30 | |
-Wait for me! -Why don't you walk in my shadow? It's a bit cooler there. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:38 | |
-How's that? -Much better, thanks. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
Dennis and Henrietta kept walking until they arrived at the jungle. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:50 | |
Here we are. Hope you'll like it. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-Must be off. I've got some sand to see. -Bye! | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 | |
-BIRD CRIES -Oh! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
The jungle was full of sounds and colours. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
How pretty! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
SHE SMELLS SCENT | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
-Ah-tchoo! -Hee-hee-hee-hee! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:24 | |
I'm Giggles. And I'm Tickles. Catch us if you can! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:32 | |
Oh-h...no-o! | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
We'll soon get you free. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
What's your name? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
Henrietta Hippo. I'm looking for a new home. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:52 | |
We know a lovely place. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
Follow us! | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
# Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-Here we are. The Blue Mountain! -Oh-h! | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
Bye, and good luck! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Henrietta went to find a home on top of the Blue Mountain... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:20 | |
where the air was fresh and cool and calm. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
But first she had to climb over a heap of big, wobbly boulders. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:34 | |
Then, just as she stepped on the last and wobbliest boulder... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:42 | |
Wah! Ouch! Oh! | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
Ah-h! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Ah! | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
But Henrietta didn't give up. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
She climbed and clambered and struggled and scrambled. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:05 | |
Finally, she made it to the top. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
Wow! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
What a view! | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
Henrietta could see the jungle and the desert... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
and far, far away, the hippos splashing in the Zamban River. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:29 | |
I wish I could go back home, but the others will laugh at my ugly hair. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:37 | |
-Ugly hair?! You have beautiful hair. -You think so? | 0:07:37 | 0:07:44 | |
Yes. You just need a new hairdo. Leave it to the snip-snip bird. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:51 | |
# Comb and snip and comb and snip I'll give you a look that's hip | 0:07:51 | 0:07:59 | |
# Oom-cha-boom, oom-cha-cha-boom Snip, snip, snip. # | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
-Done! -How do I look? | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
-Like a hippo princess. -Wow! | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
Now I can go back to the others. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
Thank you, snip-snip bird. Bye. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
Henrietta made the long journey down the mountain, through the jungle... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:29 | |
and across the desert, all the way back to the Zamban River. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:37 | |
-Yoo-hoo! -It's Henrietta! She looks like a princess. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:44 | |
Where have you been? We missed you. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
-I was in the desert and the jungle, got caught in a spider web. -Wicked! | 0:08:49 | 0:08:57 | |
I climbed the Blue Mountain. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
There the snip-snip bird gave me my...princess hairdo. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:08 | |
Hee-hee-hee! ..Ow! We won't laugh at you. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:14 | |
Tell us how you escaped from the spider's web! | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
Well, some monkeys came to my rescue... | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
And so Henrietta told all her adventures to the other hippos. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
Then they all jumped in the river with a great big splash. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:35 | |
Goodnight, Lucy. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
