0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello. I'm Lucy.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I live at 64 Zoo Lane.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15And I have some very special neighbours - look!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# There's one with a hump
0:00:17 > 0:00:19# And one who can jump
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# And one who is a little bit plump
0:00:22 > 0:00:25# 64, 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:25 > 0:00:27# Some like it hot
0:00:27 > 0:00:29# And some like it chilly
0:00:29 > 0:00:33# And some like it both ways - that's a bit silly
0:00:33 > 0:00:36# 64, 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:36 > 0:00:39# Some are friendly, some are scary
0:00:39 > 0:00:43# But one thing is sure - not one is ordinary
0:00:43 > 0:00:46# 64, 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:46 > 0:00:48# Some are spotty
0:00:48 > 0:00:49# Some are stripy
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# And prickly and woolly
0:00:51 > 0:00:53# And furry and slimy
0:00:53 > 0:00:56# Some are quite big, and some are very small
0:00:56 > 0:01:00# And the last one's Georgina who's incredibly tall
0:01:00 > 0:01:03# 64, 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Wheeeeeeee!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Hello, everybody!

0:01:42 > 0:01:44SNORING STOPS GROANS AND MUMBLES
0:01:44 > 0:01:48ALL: Hello, Lucy!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52What's the matter? You all seem really tired.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54BEAR YAWNS LOUDLY
0:01:54 > 0:01:57MUMBLING
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Yes. We've had a busy day at the zoo today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Oh? Does that mean no story tonight?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Wouldn't you rather have a nap, Lucy?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11LUCY SIGHS
0:02:14 > 0:02:16WATCH OUT! BEHIND YOU!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19ALL: Huh?!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22What's going on?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- LUCY GIGGLES - It was just a joke!
0:02:25 > 0:02:30Well, we don't think your joke was very funny, Lucy.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I thought it was scary, actually.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38- And I hurt my bottom!- Oh. Sorry. I just wanted to wake you up.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I was bored.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41CHUCKLES
0:02:41 > 0:02:45That reminds me of The Story of the Great Rains.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48ALL: Oh, yes! THEY CHUCKLE
0:02:48 > 0:02:51A story? I'd love to hear it, Nelson!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Well, if you're not too tired, that is.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- BOTH:- We are reeeeeeeally tired.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01THEY YAWN DRAMATICALLY
0:03:01 > 0:03:04THE OTHERS CHUCKLE
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Giggles and Tickles are only saying that
0:03:07 > 0:03:11because this story is about something silly they did.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Hee-hee! I think I'm going to like this!
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Once a year, there is a very heavy rain in Africa
0:03:18 > 0:03:23which floods the entire savannah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29The only place that doesn't get flooded is the Blue Mountain.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33One year, we were getting ready to spend a long time
0:03:33 > 0:03:35on top of the mountain.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42There! That should be enough food.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44GEORGINA SIGHS
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I am not looking forward to being stuck on top of this mountain
0:03:48 > 0:03:51when the rain comes - it's so BORING!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54None of us like the Great Rains,
0:03:54 > 0:03:59so we try and have as much fun as possible, while it's still dry.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02EVERYONE LAUGHS AND SHOUTS
0:04:04 > 0:04:06To me! To me!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08To you. To you.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13BOTH: We want to play too!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15EVERYONE STOPS Ahem!
0:04:15 > 0:04:21Have you forgotten? It's your turn this year.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- THEY SIGH - Yes, we know, we know...!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Every year, we take it in turn to watch out for the first drop
0:04:29 > 0:04:31of the Great Rains.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35And this particular year it was the monkeys' turn.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40LAUGHING AND SHOUTING
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Can you sere a dark cloud yet, Tickles?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47No!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51This is SO boring!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Why can't we have fun like the others?
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- HE CHUCKLES - I just had a brilliant idea!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- What is it? Tell me! - WHISPERING AND GIGGLING
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Here, Georgina, pass it to Doris, the champion fruit-baller!
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Warning! The Great Rains are coming!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Everybody run to the Blue Mountain!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30THEY CACKLE MADLY
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Nothing but blue skies.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Hmm. Giggles and Tickles must have got it wrong.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50SNIGGERING FROM TREETOPS
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Oops. Sorry. It must have been a drop of nectar.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57From a flower that fell on our heads.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Hmm...
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Maybe you should pick all those flowers.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Warning! The first rain drop is here!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Hurgh!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28They're right!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32It's the Great Rains - run for the Blue Mountain!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37MONKEYS CACKLE HELPLESSLY
0:06:37 > 0:06:43This is SOOOOO funny!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Hey, you're all sticky, Herbert.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Hm? Oh.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54That's strange. Erm. Num num num...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59These aren't raindrops! It's... It's fruit juice!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Those monkeys have played another joke on us.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05ALL GASP AND GROWL
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Now don't move from that tree!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Georgina, are you ready? - Yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17So, Georgina the Giraffe took the monkeys' place
0:07:17 > 0:07:19on top of the tall tree.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21GROANS QUEASILY
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Oooh. Oop. Oh, dear. Oh! Oh.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31It wasn't that funny, after all.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34We're even more bored now.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Oh! Oh!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44LAUGHTER
0:07:44 > 0:07:49Warning! The Great Rains have come!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51You've played that joke on us already.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Pass me the ball, Herbert!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59But this time it's really real.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Listen, Giggles and Tickles, we've had enough of your tricks.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Georgina is the new watcher. And she's the one who'll tell us.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Well, what's she waiting for then?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Georgina? Georginaahhh!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Oh! Ah! What? Yes?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Have you felt the first drop of the Great Rains?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Er... NO!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26No, nothing to report.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Thank you, Georgina.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30What?! This isn't right.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Georgina! Look! The cloud!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Huh? Ah... The... What?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Oh! RAIN! Oh, RAIN!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Oh, quick! Everybody to the Blue Mountain!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49'But it was too late.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52'The water had already started to rise.'
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Oh, no!
0:08:54 > 0:09:00Hey, I've got an idea. And this time it's a good one!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, thanks! Very clever.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28MONKEYS: Oh, no!
0:09:28 > 0:09:32There were no leaves left to build a boat for Giggles and Tickles.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36CRAZED CHATTERING
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Is everybody safe? - ALL: YES!
0:09:44 > 0:09:48No! We're missing Giggles and Tickles!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Poor Giggles and Tickles.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54We felt sorry for them.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59At least we've got something to eat.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Are you coming?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02TOBY! Oh, let's go!
0:10:14 > 0:10:17GIGGLING AND CHATTERING
0:10:22 > 0:10:28And in the end, it was the happiest Great Rains we'd ever had!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30And since that day,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Giggles and Tickles never play any more silly jokes.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Sorry, Nelson. I won't do it again either.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Thanks for the story. Goodnight, everyone.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49ALL: Goodnight, Lucy.
