0:02:14 > 0:02:18'It was a peaceful afternoon in the African savannah...

0:02:20 > 0:02:22'..but not for long!'

0:02:22 > 0:02:25BANGING

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Herbert! Grrr...

0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Hot rhythms, Herbert! You've got hot rhythms!- HERBERT!

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Please find something else to do -

0:02:38 > 0:02:44preferably something that doesn't involve making so much noise!

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Blooming cheek! That wasn't noise! That was melody!

0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Why do they always have a go at ME? I'm a musical warthog!- Excuse me...

0:02:54 > 0:02:59Do you HAVE to talk to yourself all the time? It's quite annoying!

0:02:59 > 0:03:04Huh! I dunno! You're frightened to BREATHE these days!

0:03:05 > 0:03:10'Herbert decided to cheer himself up by having a little snack.'

0:03:14 > 0:03:16< CHOMPING AND BURPING

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Do you HAVE to make those horrible noises?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Who - me?

0:03:22 > 0:03:28- Yes - YOU!- I don't make horrible noises...mmmgggrrrh...- Yes, you do!

0:03:28 > 0:03:32In fact, you never shut up!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35DOES he? Not for a minute!

0:03:35 > 0:03:41- Sorry. But you couldn't keep quiet even if you wanted to.- Bet I could.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44OTHERS: BET YOU COULDN'T!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48CHOMPING AND GULPING

0:03:48 > 0:03:53THEY MUTTER TOGETHER A-hem... Herbert...

0:03:53 > 0:03:55We're going to set you a challenge.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01Yes! If you can stay silent for a whole day...

0:04:01 > 0:04:04From sunrise to sunset...

0:04:04 > 0:04:09We will give you the biggest, juiciest watermelon you ever saw.

0:04:09 > 0:04:15But if you lose, you have to hand over your musical rocks.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17I accept.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- Are you sure?- Sure I'm sure! This will be easy!

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- The challenge begins at sunrise tomorrow.- I'll be ready!

0:04:28 > 0:04:33He'll never do it. I give him two minutes, at most.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38Oh, without those musical rocks, the savannah will be so peaceful!

0:04:42 > 0:04:47'Herbert usually began the day with a large breakfast.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54'Then just in time, he remembered that he had to stay silent all day.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59'And Herbert could never eat anything without making a noise.'

0:05:03 > 0:05:09He didn't eat his breakfast! Don't worry. Plenty of time yet!

0:05:11 > 0:05:14< # Pizza pizza pizza pizza pizza!

0:05:14 > 0:05:20# Pizza pizza pizza pizza pizza! # MARACAS SHAKE

0:05:21 > 0:05:27- # Pizza pizza pizza... # - Hey, Herbie! Dig our groovy sound?

0:05:27 > 0:05:29We need a drummer!

0:05:32 > 0:05:37- Welcome aboard! You know the girls. - ALL: Hi, Herbert!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42OK, Herbert - you lead us in.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46On the count of three... 1, 2, 3...

0:05:50 > 0:05:52'Herbert really wanted to join in.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56'But just in time, he remembered the challenge.'

0:05:56 > 0:05:58OHH!

0:05:58 > 0:06:00That's drummers for you!

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Hi, Herbert!

0:06:06 > 0:06:09You're doing very well with the challenge!

0:06:10 > 0:06:15Why don't we play a game to pass the time and keep your mind off things?

0:06:19 > 0:06:25Em... Let's play First To See. I call out the name of a thing...

0:06:25 > 0:06:30and whoever sees that thing first wins. OK?

0:06:31 > 0:06:37OK. Let's start with... first to see...

0:06:37 > 0:06:39a bird!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53A bird!

0:06:55 > 0:07:00OK, I'll give you another chance. I won, so I get to choose again.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04First to see...an ant!

0:07:25 > 0:07:31An ant! I won again! Not very good at this, are you, Herbert?

0:07:33 > 0:07:37'Herbert had a frustrating afternoon.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39'He decided to find a spot

0:07:39 > 0:07:43'where he could spend the rest of the day alone.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47'But he couldn't fall asleep,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50'just in case he'd start snoring!'

0:07:52 > 0:07:54LAUGHING AND CHATTERING

0:07:54 > 0:07:59I know how we can make Herbert make a noise! Watch!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06'Herbert was VERY ticklish!

0:08:06 > 0:08:09'This was his biggest test so far.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12'But he was DETERMINED not to laugh.'

0:08:12 > 0:08:16I don't believe it!

0:08:16 > 0:08:19No-one has ever resisted our tickling before!

0:08:22 > 0:08:27'The sun began to set and Herbert felt it was safe to return.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32'Surely nothing could stop him from winning the challenge NOW.'

0:08:32 > 0:08:37Well done, Herbert! You must be very pleased!

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Did you find it hard?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's no use! We've had it!

0:08:43 > 0:08:48It's almost sunset and he hasn't made a single noise!

0:08:48 > 0:08:51We may as well give him the prize!

0:08:51 > 0:08:55Bring forth the giant watermelon! POUNDING

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Ten seconds to go! > ALL: Nine...!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Eight...! Seven...!

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Six...! Five...! Four...!

0:09:14 > 0:09:19Three...! Two...!

0:09:19 > 0:09:22AH-CHOO!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25MONKEYS LAUGH

0:09:29 > 0:09:34Herbert lost the challenge! Herbert lost the challenge!

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Say something, Herbert! You can speak now, you know!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43It was a brave effort!

0:09:43 > 0:09:48So much so, we've decided to offer you a little consolation prize.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51The giant watermelon is yours!

0:09:51 > 0:09:56Yeah - you deserve it! Well? What are you waiting for?

0:09:56 > 0:09:59CHOMPING AND MUNCHING

0:10:14 > 0:10:16That was a great story!

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Very funny! YOU won't be able to stay quiet either!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I'm going now.
