0:01:42 > 0:01:45Did you bring something to eat?

0:01:45 > 0:01:46- SHE GIGGLES - Here...try.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Oh!

0:01:52 > 0:01:56But...that's not something to eat.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Well, I think the colour really suits you, Boris.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04Silly Boris! It's not for you either. It's my swimming costume.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Well, what do you think?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Very nice. Stripy.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Just like Ronald's armbands.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Do you mean Ronald the Rhino?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Oh, yes. Ronald the Rhino had swimming lessons, too.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47But why don't you tell Lucy the story, Nelson?

0:02:47 > 0:02:50HE CLEARS HIS THROAT All right. Very well.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52SHE GIGGLES

0:02:52 > 0:02:54It was the rainy season in Africa,

0:02:54 > 0:02:58and all the animals were bored.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02For weeks, they had been waiting for the rain to stop.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03It wasn't much fun.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Herbert. Stop making those noises.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15I'm only pretending to be a raindrop. What else is there to do?

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22pitter-patter, pitter-patter.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Herbert!- Stop bickering, you two.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Look - the rain has stopped.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Oh!

0:03:29 > 0:03:32So it has.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35MONKEYS: Yippee! No more rain.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Look over there - a rainbow!

0:03:39 > 0:03:42THEY ALL GASP AND EXCLAIM

0:03:44 > 0:03:49At the end of the rainbow, a seed will fall.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52From the seed, a tree will grow.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56In the wind, the fruit will swing.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02What kind of fruit, Georgina? Is it watermelons?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04No, not watermelons.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Rainbow fruit!

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Rainbow fruit? Never heard of it!

0:04:08 > 0:04:13It's only the yummiest fruit ever. That's what my grandma used to say.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Hey, what are we waiting for? - Let's go and shake that tree!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Uh... Eurgh!

0:04:23 > 0:04:27'And so, the animals got ready for an expedition

0:04:27 > 0:04:29'to the end of the rainbow.'

0:04:38 > 0:04:41'The animals marched and marched.'

0:04:44 > 0:04:46BOTH: Wheee!

0:04:49 > 0:04:52'The end of the rainbow was far away.'

0:04:54 > 0:04:57We must be nearly there.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Oh, no! The Zambam River is swollen.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12It must be because of all that rain. We can't wade across.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16Well, in that case, let's swim across instead.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh!

0:05:39 > 0:05:41What's the matter, Ronald?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Come on, Ronald!

0:05:43 > 0:05:44I can't!

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- What did he say?- Ronald says...

0:05:48 > 0:05:50he can't swim!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Can't swim?! What shall we do now?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55I have an idea.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Look over there, Ronald!

0:05:59 > 0:06:00RONALD GASPS

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Boulders!

0:06:04 > 0:06:09'Ronald the Rhino built a bridge across the Zambam River.'

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Nice and sturdy. That should do.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26THEY ALL EXCLAIM

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Oh, dear. I've an idea, too.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33I will dig a tunnel under the river for Ronald.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37HE GRUNTS

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Oops! Wrong direction.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Oh, dear! Oops again. Silly me.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Oh, sorry!

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Oh, no!

0:06:58 > 0:07:01I have a far better idea.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Let's drink the river empty!

0:07:04 > 0:07:06HE CHUCKLES Here - take a straw.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Ooh, I just hope this works!

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Ready, everyone? On the count of three.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15One, two, three.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Don't give up, Nelson! Keep going!

0:07:32 > 0:07:35MONKEYS: Go, Nelson! Go, Nelson! Go!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37THEY CHEER

0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Oh.- Aww!

0:07:44 > 0:07:46HE HICCUPS Sorry.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Well...any more clever ideas?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51THEY ALL GROAN

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Ugh! It looks like I'll never get to the other side.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56I might as well go home.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Wait, Ronald! Look - over there!

0:08:06 > 0:08:09The Tic Tic Bird had the cleverest idea of all.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13There. Nice and snug. How do you like your swim belt?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Oh, Tic Tic, you're the best.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44But what about Herbert?

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Oh, don't worry about him. Warthogs always pop up in good time.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58'Finally, the animals arrived at the end of the rainbow.'

0:08:58 > 0:09:01ALL: Rainbow fruit!

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Lunch!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Told you so.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08HERBERT GRUNTS EXCITEDLY

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Aagh!- Not here, Herbert!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17I know a nice picnic spot, near the river.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18It's not fair!

0:09:20 > 0:09:24The perfect picnic spot. You can choose first, Herbert.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Mmmmm.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30More delicious even than watermelon.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32BOTH: I'll have a yellow one.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34THEY CHORTLE

0:09:37 > 0:09:40And purple for me.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02THE OTHERS CHEER

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Ronald the Rhino had learnt to swim

0:10:07 > 0:10:09without his swim belt,

0:10:09 > 0:10:13and he felt very, very proud.

0:10:13 > 0:10:18- Practice makes perfect.- I'm so excited about my swimming lesson.
