0:01:36 > 0:01:39SNORING AND GROANING

0:01:41 > 0:01:46I'm sorry, Lucy. It looks like all the animals are asleep.

0:01:46 > 0:01:52- But what about my story...? - I'll tell you a bedtime story.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56But it won't be the same without the others.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01- Did someone say story?- Oh, Nelson! Georgina's going to tell me a story.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- D'you want to hear it too? - HE LAUGHS

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Who's the story about? Reginald the lion.

0:02:09 > 0:02:15Ah, Reginald. I seem to remember HE liked a good snooze too.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20I want to hear Reginald's story but I'm so sleepy.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Me too.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25I know...

0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Let's snuggle up and listen to the story together.- Comfortable?

0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Yeah!- SHHH!

0:02:33 > 0:02:39GEORGINA: Reginald the lion liked to sleep in the long grass.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42- YAWNING:- My favourite spot.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Time for a snooze.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52NIBBLING

0:02:55 > 0:03:00- Natalie!- Oh. Hi, Reggie. Having a nice nap?

0:03:00 > 0:03:05No! ..Well, yes. TRYING to, at least.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Oh...sorry... REGINALD COUGHS DELIBERATELY

0:03:09 > 0:03:14Natalie...I've heard the grass is much chewier by the baobab tree,

0:03:14 > 0:03:17at this time of day.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Oh, IS it?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'll go and have a taste. Thanks.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Hmm...- Reginald had just settled down to sleep again

0:03:28 > 0:03:33when Zed the zebra came galloping across the savannah.

0:03:33 > 0:03:39- SNORING - Zed...! I'm trying to sleep.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Keep your mane on, old chap.

0:03:41 > 0:03:47Goodness me! A zebra's gotta do what a zebra's gotta do.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Bye!

0:03:51 > 0:03:56Some more grass over there, Ronald...and there.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Oh, and some more over there, next to Reginald.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04THUDDING

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Ronald, may I have a word?

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Look out! Here comes trouble.- Yes?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14MUST you do that?

0:04:14 > 0:04:16What? ..This?

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Yes...

0:04:19 > 0:04:21THAT.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Only, I'm TRYING to get some sleep.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27What a grumpy old lion!

0:04:27 > 0:04:33- What did he say?- He said we'd better trample the grass somewhere else.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40SNORING RESUMES

0:04:42 > 0:04:47Here's another clump of grass for your new nest, Audrey. ..Oh, look!

0:04:47 > 0:04:54- Here's some more!- You're very kind, Nelson, but, really, I have enough.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Nonsense. I don't mind helping you.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01You need LOTS of twigs for your new nest.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03RA-A-ARGH!

0:05:03 > 0:05:06All right! All right!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Oops.- Gather round, everyone.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12That's enough!

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Right.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18I am TRYING to get some sleep! So please clear off

0:05:18 > 0:05:24and do your munching, trampling, galloping and chewing elsewhere!

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- ..Ooh!- This way, Audrey.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38HE SIGHS AND YAWNS

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Oh, that was WAY out of order!

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- A rhino should be able to trample where he likes.- You tell him!

0:05:46 > 0:05:49HOG: A lovely sniffly sort of day!

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Don't...

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Time for some serious snuffling.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58SNORTING

0:05:58 > 0:06:00RA-A-ARGH!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Hi, Reg. Having a snooze?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06That is IT! Enough is enough!

0:06:06 > 0:06:10ANGRY SNARLING

0:06:20 > 0:06:23THEY WHISPER

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Look, I want to sleep!

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Nobody, and that includes you, Herbert,

0:06:29 > 0:06:34- is allowed to step over this line! - Huh! Suit yourself.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- GASPS - What did he say?

0:06:37 > 0:06:42The animals left Reginald alone for a very, VERY long time.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45No-one was chewing, stamping

0:06:45 > 0:06:50OR trampling down the grass where Reginald slept,

0:06:50 > 0:06:54so it grew longer...and longer... and longer!

0:06:54 > 0:06:59Lots of crickets moved into the high grass.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03When Reginald finally woke up,

0:07:03 > 0:07:08he found that his favourite spot was noisier than ever!

0:07:08 > 0:07:15Where am I? What is that noise? Oh! Lots of noisy bugs!

0:07:15 > 0:07:17RA-A-ARGH!

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Reginald was lost in the high grass.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27He ran backwards and forwards, trying to find a way out,

0:07:27 > 0:07:32and by the time he did, he was VERY hot and bothered.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Ah! The savannah!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37At last!

0:07:44 > 0:07:49- SNUFFLING - Hi! Herbert! Can I have a word?

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Sorry. You told me to stay away.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55RO-OUW... Ah.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00Ahem! ..Natalie. # Hello-o! #

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Nelson...? Audrey...?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Ronald? Zed?

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Reginald suddenly realised how much his friends meant to him.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24If it wasn't for my friends chewing and tramping,

0:08:24 > 0:08:30AND galloping, this long grass would be everywhere.

0:08:33 > 0:08:40Audrey heard Reginald and crept away to tell the others what he'd said.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43WHISPERING

0:08:46 > 0:08:48The animals felt sorry for Reginald

0:08:48 > 0:08:51and decided to cheer him up.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58TRUMPETING Reginald! REG-INALD!

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Oh. Hello, everyone.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06We've come to tell you something. Go on. YOU say it!

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Must I?- Yes, go on.

0:09:09 > 0:09:15- We're very sorry for making so much noise.- I'm sorry for being grumpy.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- We'd like to be friends.- So would I.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24- Let's get rid of all this long grass for a start.- Good idea!

0:09:24 > 0:09:26CHEERING

0:09:26 > 0:09:32So the animals stamped and tramped and chewed and snuffled the grass

0:09:32 > 0:09:36until it was the right height again.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Stop! Let's leave a clump for the insects.

0:09:44 > 0:09:50- After all, they need a place to live too.- How thoughtful of you.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Yes. How very thoughtful.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Well, you know, I... - EVERYONE LAUGHS

0:10:02 > 0:10:05What a great story!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08(Lucy, Boris is asleep.)

0:10:14 > 0:10:17SOFT TRUMPETING

0:10:18 > 0:10:24They all look so comfy. Can I sleep here in the zoo tonight, Georgina?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27No. You must sleep in your own bed.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31- YAWNING:- Oh, well, all right, then.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Sweet dreams, everyone. - Goodnight, Lucy.
