0:01:34 > 0:01:36Hello, everyone. ..Oh-h!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39ALL: Good evening, Lucy.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- Why are you all standing in line? - ALL: No reason.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47You're acting very strange.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- ALL: No, we're not.- Yes, you are.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Tell me, Boris, or I'll tickle you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Ha-ha-ha! No! Ha-ha-ha! All right, I'll tell you.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We've got a surprise for you.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- Don't bother. It's boring. - It's Victor the crocodile.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I wanted to surprise you with a story.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- I should've realised this lot couldn't keep a secret...- Oh-h!
0:02:12 > 0:02:16..unlike my friend Herbert the warthog.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Now he could really keep a secret.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Would you like to hear my dramatic story?- Mmm.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26It's called Herbert And The Watermelon Of Doom.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Aggh!- Yes, please!
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Every day, the animals in Africa get together for some fun.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45One day, I decided to join them at a water hole.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50'Ere, guys, this is fun, eh?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55What? What? What have I done now?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59You're tail-splashing. That's not allowed.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- I was only having fun. - And you were snapping your jaws.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- No, I wasn't.- BOTH: Yes, you were!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11All right, then, I was.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- That's mean!- And nasty.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Crocodiles are supposed to be mean and nasty.
0:03:18 > 0:03:24Perhaps today you could go elsewhere to do your mean and nasty splashing?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27ALL: Mmm!
0:03:32 > 0:03:37I'll show them. Mean and nasty's more fun, anyway!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41'So I planned my revenge.'
0:03:42 > 0:03:45# Hm-hm-hm! Watermelon! Hm-hm-hm! Watermelon!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48# Hm-hm-hm! Watermelon! #
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Psst! Herbert! Over here!- Oh.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57- Hello, Victor.- Nice watermelon you've got there, Herbert.- Thanks, Victor.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Did I ever tell you about my favourite watermelon?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Frequently...but I'd love to hear it all over again.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Years ago, during the rainy season,
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I was climbing the eastern slope of the Blue Mountain and there I saw it!
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Perfectly round with yellow zigzags -
0:04:17 > 0:04:21inside it was squidgy and juicy and...oh!
0:04:23 > 0:04:28If you'll be my friend, I'll give you this watermelon seed.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30It's a very special seed.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It is?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Yes, the watermelon from this seed
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- will be the sweetest, juiciest ever. - It will?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Plant it up on Table Mountain. It'll grow faster up there.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Er...don't tell the others.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52That way you don't have to share any of it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Just a little secret between us, eh?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Thanks, Victor.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Hee-hee-hee!
0:05:07 > 0:05:12'Herbert buried the watermelon seed on top of Table Mountain.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- 'It sprouted right away.'- Oh!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yes!
0:05:23 > 0:05:27'Soon the watermelon was as big as a baby hippo.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31HIPPO CRIES
0:05:31 > 0:05:35'Herbert kept it "our little secret".
0:05:35 > 0:05:38'Daily, he slipped past his friends
0:05:38 > 0:05:42'to watch his secret watermelon grow and grow.'
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Where's Herbert?- I don't know.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for ages.- There he is.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Where are you going, Herbert? Oh, no...nowhere special.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Can I come? No! No, er...finish your drink.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01< Oh.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Strange.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Very strange.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Good morning, watermelon!
0:06:16 > 0:06:22- 'Herbert's watermelon had grown as big as a rhino.'- Uh-oh.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26The watermelon - it's really big, it's dangerous!
0:06:26 > 0:06:31It could roll from Table Mountain and land in the water hole.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Exactly. - But then we'd have no water.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Serves those animals right for not playing with me.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41But that's mean and nasty.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Exactly. Hee-hee-hee!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Hey, Herbert! Er...not now, Zed.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I wonder what he's doing.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04'Herbert tried to support the watermelon
0:07:04 > 0:07:08'so it wouldn't roll down Table Mountain.'
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Oh!
0:07:12 > 0:07:17'Herbert decided to eat the melon - nobody would know what had happened.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22'He nibbled and gnawed and champed and chewed, but it was no good.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27'The enormous watermelon grew quicker than Herbert could eat.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32'The melon was so big it could be seen from miles away
0:07:32 > 0:07:34'and everyone knew about it.'
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Why didn't you tell us about this?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Oh, Victor the crocodile told me not to.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45He said it was "our little secret".
0:07:46 > 0:07:50That was mean and nasty. Oh.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- Hee-hee-hee! Exactly! - Anyone fancy a bite?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I think we may have a problem here.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Let's see. The melon is here and the water hole over here.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14According to my calculations, it will soon be so heavy,
0:08:14 > 0:08:19it will roll down, flatten the baobab tree, bounce on Audrey's nest
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and land in the water hole - there!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26My nest will be ruined! We'll have nothing to drink.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- And I'll lose my scratching post. - Hee-hee-hee! Exactly.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I'll find a good place to watch it all go wrong.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Hee-hee-hee!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41'Nelson had an idea.'
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Everybody ready?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55ALL: Yes!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59OK, Natalie, chew that stalk.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Yee-hah!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Ha-ha! Yee-hah!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Oh-h!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Why does it always happen to me?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh-h! Oooh! Ha-ha!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Stop it! Oh-h! Ho-ho!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48You're tickling! Ha-ha!
0:09:49 > 0:09:53ALL: Exactly! Ha-ha!
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- Do you like to be tickled, Victor? - No, I don't.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16It's time for bed. I told the story so I say goodnight.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Oh, Victor!- Don't expect me to say anything nice.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Don't worry. I know you like to be mean and nasty.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Exactly.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Anyway, it's time for bed now.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- ALL: Goodnight, Lucy! - Goodnight, everyone.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Sweet dreams.
