Bedtime, Lucy! >

0:01:080:01:12

OK, Mum.

0:01:120:01:15

Hi, Lucy!

0:01:340:01:37

-Hi, everyone.

-What's the matter, Lucy?

0:01:370:01:43

-I had a bad day. We all have them.

-I don't. Do you, Giggles?

0:01:430:01:50

No, but I know what Lucy needs. BOTH: Some tickles!

0:01:500:01:56

-SHE LAUGHS

-Oh, stop it!

0:01:560:02:00

Hey, what's happening? Put us down!

0:02:000:02:04

-Do you want to tell Molly what's wrong?

-Well...

0:02:050:02:10

-Something happen at school?

-Katy and Samantha said my hair is like straw.

0:02:100:02:18

- You have beautiful hair. - You're pretty, sweet and clever.

0:02:180:02:25

-You've got lots to be proud of.

-Never mind what people say.

0:02:250:02:30

Let me tell you the story of Henrietta, my cousin, in Africa.

0:02:300:02:37

Listen...

0:02:370:02:40

Henrietta lived in the Zamban River with the other hippos.

0:02:400:02:46

It was nice there.

0:02:460:02:50

There were no crocodiles, so the hippos could splash happily.

0:02:500:02:57

Henrietta wasn't like the other hippos. She was...hairy.

0:02:570:03:04

Henrietta's hairy! Henrietta's hairy! Henrietta's hairy!

0:03:040:03:12

Henrietta felt sad when the other hippos laughed at her.

0:03:120:03:19

They don't like me!

0:03:190:03:23

I want to live somewhere where the animals are nice to me.

0:03:230:03:29

Maybe I could live in the desert.

0:03:290:03:33

In the desert, it was hot, very hot.

0:03:330:03:37

Henrietta thought about the river.

0:03:370:03:41

How nice it would be to splash in the water with the other hippos.

0:03:410:03:49

There was no water. Only a lot of sand.

0:03:490:03:56

Hello. I'm Dennis the dromedary.

0:03:560:04:01

I'm Henrietta Hippo from the Zamban River.

0:04:010:04:06

The others don't like me because I'm hairy. I'm looking for a new home.

0:04:060:04:14

-It's too hot here. Do you know a place I would like?

-Yes, I do.

0:04:140:04:21

Follow me.

0:04:210:04:24

Henrietta couldn't keep up with Dennis. She got very hot.

0:04:240:04:30

-Wait for me!

-Why don't you walk in my shadow? It's a bit cooler there.

0:04:300:04:38

-How's that?

-Much better, thanks.

0:04:380:04:43

Dennis and Henrietta kept walking until they arrived at the jungle.

0:04:430:04:50

Here we are. Hope you'll like it.

0:04:500:04:54

-Must be off. I've got some sand to see.

-Bye!

0:04:540:05:00

-BIRD CRIES

-Oh!

0:05:010:05:05

The jungle was full of sounds and colours.

0:05:050:05:11

How pretty!

0:05:110:05:14

SHE SMELLS SCENT

0:05:140:05:18

-Ah-tchoo!

-Hee-hee-hee-hee!

0:05:180:05:24

I'm Giggles. And I'm Tickles. Catch us if you can!

0:05:240:05:32

Oh-h...no-o!

0:05:360:05:39

We'll soon get you free.

0:05:430:05:45

What's your name?

0:05:450:05:46

Henrietta Hippo. I'm looking for a new home.

0:05:460:05:52

We know a lovely place.

0:05:520:05:55

Follow us!

0:05:550:05:57

# Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da!

0:05:590:06:02

-Here we are. The Blue Mountain!

-Oh-h!

0:06:020:06:07

Bye, and good luck!

0:06:100:06:13

Henrietta went to find a home on top of the Blue Mountain...

0:06:130:06:20

where the air was fresh and cool and calm.

0:06:200:06:26

But first she had to climb over a heap of big, wobbly boulders.

0:06:260:06:34

Then, just as she stepped on the last and wobbliest boulder...

0:06:340:06:42

Wah! Ouch! Oh!

0:06:420:06:46

Ah-h!

0:06:460:06:48

Ah!

0:06:510:06:53

But Henrietta didn't give up.

0:06:530:06:57

She climbed and clambered and struggled and scrambled.

0:06:570:07:05

Finally, she made it to the top.

0:07:050:07:10

Wow!

0:07:100:07:12

What a view!

0:07:120:07:16

Henrietta could see the jungle and the desert...

0:07:160:07:22

and far, far away, the hippos splashing in the Zamban River.

0:07:220:07:29

I wish I could go back home, but the others will laugh at my ugly hair.

0:07:290:07:37

-Ugly hair?! You have beautiful hair.

-You think so?

0:07:370:07:44

Yes. You just need a new hairdo. Leave it to the snip-snip bird.

0:07:440:07:51

# Comb and snip and comb and snip I'll give you a look that's hip

0:07:510:07:59

# Oom-cha-boom, oom-cha-cha-boom Snip, snip, snip. #

0:07:590:08:04

-Done!

-How do I look?

0:08:040:08:08

-Like a hippo princess.

-Wow!

0:08:080:08:13

Now I can go back to the others.

0:08:130:08:18

Thank you, snip-snip bird. Bye.

0:08:180:08:22

Henrietta made the long journey down the mountain, through the jungle...

0:08:220:08:29

and across the desert, all the way back to the Zamban River.

0:08:290:08:37

-Yoo-hoo!

-It's Henrietta! She looks like a princess.

0:08:370:08:44

Where have you been? We missed you.

0:08:440:08:49

-I was in the desert and the jungle, got caught in a spider web.

-Wicked!

0:08:490:08:57

I climbed the Blue Mountain.

0:08:570:09:01

There the snip-snip bird gave me my...princess hairdo.

0:09:010:09:08

Hee-hee-hee! ..Ow! We won't laugh at you.

0:09:080:09:14

Tell us how you escaped from the spider's web!

0:09:140:09:19

Well, some monkeys came to my rescue...

0:09:190:09:23

And so Henrietta told all her adventures to the other hippos.

0:09:230:09:28

Then they all jumped in the river with a great big splash.

0:09:280:09:35

Goodnight, Lucy.
