0:00:040:00:07

Hello. I'm Lucy.

0:00:070:00:09

I live at 64 Zoo Lane.

0:00:090:00:11

And I have some very special neighbours - look!

0:00:110:00:15

# There's one with a hump

0:00:150:00:17

# And one who can jump

0:00:170:00:19

# And one who is a little bit plump

0:00:190:00:22

# 64, 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:220:00:25

# Some like it hot

0:00:250:00:27

# And some like it chilly

0:00:270:00:29

# And some like it both ways - that's a bit silly

0:00:290:00:33

# 64, 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:330:00:36

# Some are friendly, some are scary

0:00:360:00:39

# But one thing is sure - not one is ordinary

0:00:390:00:43

# 64, 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:430:00:46

# Some are spotty

0:00:460:00:48

# Some are stripy

0:00:480:00:49

# And prickly and woolly

0:00:490:00:51

# And furry and slimy

0:00:510:00:53

# Some are quite big, and some are very small

0:00:530:00:56

# And the last one's Georgina who's incredibly tall

0:00:560:01:00

-Bedtime, Lucy!

-OK, Mum.

0:01:100:01:13

The Story of the Great Rains.

0:01:170:01:20

TAP TAP TAP

0:01:270:01:28

Wheeeeeeee!

0:01:310:01:32

Hello, everybody!

0:01:350:01:37

SNORING

0:01:380:01:41

SNORING STOPS GROANS AND MUMBLES

0:01:420:01:44

ALL: Hello, Lucy!

0:01:440:01:48

What's the matter? You all seem really tired.

0:01:480:01:52

BEAR YAWNS LOUDLY

0:01:520:01:54

MUMBLING

0:01:540:01:57

Yes. We've had a busy day at the zoo today.

0:01:570:02:00

Oh? Does that mean no story tonight?

0:02:000:02:04

Wouldn't you rather have a nap, Lucy?

0:02:040:02:07

LUCY SIGHS

0:02:090:02:11

WATCH OUT! BEHIND YOU!

0:02:140:02:16

ALL: Huh?!

0:02:160:02:19

What's going on?

0:02:190:02:22

-LUCY GIGGLES

-It was just a joke!

0:02:220:02:25

Well, we don't think your joke was very funny, Lucy.

0:02:250:02:30

I thought it was scary, actually.

0:02:300:02:32

-And I hurt my bottom!

-Oh. Sorry. I just wanted to wake you up.

0:02:320:02:38

I was bored.

0:02:380:02:40

CHUCKLES

0:02:400:02:41

That reminds me of The Story of the Great Rains.

0:02:410:02:45

ALL: Oh, yes! THEY CHUCKLE

0:02:450:02:48

A story? I'd love to hear it, Nelson!

0:02:480:02:51

Well, if you're not too tired, that is.

0:02:510:02:54

-BOTH:

-We are reeeeeeeally tired.

0:02:540:02:58

THEY YAWN DRAMATICALLY

0:02:580:03:01

THE OTHERS CHUCKLE

0:03:010:03:04

Giggles and Tickles are only saying that

0:03:040:03:07

because this story is about something silly they did.

0:03:070:03:11

Hee-hee! I think I'm going to like this!

0:03:110:03:14

Once a year, there is a very heavy rain in Africa

0:03:140:03:18

which floods the entire savannah.

0:03:180:03:23

The only place that doesn't get flooded is the Blue Mountain.

0:03:230:03:29

One year, we were getting ready to spend a long time

0:03:290:03:33

on top of the mountain.

0:03:330:03:35

There! That should be enough food.

0:03:390:03:42

GEORGINA SIGHS

0:03:420:03:44

I am not looking forward to being stuck on top of this mountain

0:03:440:03:48

when the rain comes - it's so BORING!

0:03:480:03:51

None of us like the Great Rains,

0:03:510:03:54

so we try and have as much fun as possible, while it's still dry.

0:03:540:03:59

EVERYONE LAUGHS AND SHOUTS

0:03:590:04:02

To me! To me!

0:04:040:04:06

To you. To you.

0:04:060:04:08

BOTH: We want to play too!

0:04:110:04:13

EVERYONE STOPS Ahem!

0:04:130:04:15

Have you forgotten? It's your turn this year.

0:04:150:04:21

-THEY SIGH

-Yes, we know, we know...!

0:04:210:04:25

Every year, we take it in turn to watch out for the first drop

0:04:250:04:29

of the Great Rains.

0:04:290:04:31

And this particular year it was the monkeys' turn.

0:04:310:04:35

LAUGHING AND SHOUTING

0:04:370:04:40

Can you sere a dark cloud yet, Tickles?

0:04:410:04:45

No!

0:04:450:04:47

This is SO boring!

0:04:490:04:51

Why can't we have fun like the others?

0:04:530:04:56

-HE CHUCKLES

-I just had a brilliant idea!

0:04:560:05:01

-What is it? Tell me!

-WHISPERING AND GIGGLING

0:05:010:05:04

Here, Georgina, pass it to Doris, the champion fruit-baller!

0:05:060:05:11

Warning! The Great Rains are coming!

0:05:140:05:19

Everybody run to the Blue Mountain!

0:05:190:05:22

THEY CACKLE MADLY

0:05:270:05:30

Nothing but blue skies.

0:05:370:05:40

Hmm. Giggles and Tickles must have got it wrong.

0:05:400:05:44

SNIGGERING FROM TREETOPS

0:05:460:05:50

Oops. Sorry. It must have been a drop of nectar.

0:05:500:05:54

From a flower that fell on our heads.

0:05:540:05:57

Hmm...

0:06:000:06:02

Maybe you should pick all those flowers.

0:06:020:06:05

Warning! The first rain drop is here!

0:06:200:06:24

Hurgh!

0:06:240:06:26

They're right!

0:06:260:06:28

It's the Great Rains - run for the Blue Mountain!

0:06:280:06:32

MONKEYS CACKLE HELPLESSLY

0:06:340:06:37

This is SOOOOO funny!

0:06:370:06:43

Hey, you're all sticky, Herbert.

0:06:460:06:49

Hm? Oh.

0:06:490:06:50

That's strange. Erm. Num num num...

0:06:500:06:54

These aren't raindrops! It's... It's fruit juice!

0:06:540:06:59

Those monkeys have played another joke on us.

0:06:590:07:03

ALL GASP AND GROWL

0:07:030:07:05

Now don't move from that tree!

0:07:070:07:10

-Georgina, are you ready?

-Yes.

0:07:100:07:13

So, Georgina the Giraffe took the monkeys' place

0:07:130:07:17

on top of the tall tree.

0:07:170:07:19

GROANS QUEASILY

0:07:190:07:21

Oooh. Oop. Oh, dear. Oh! Oh.

0:07:210:07:25

It wasn't that funny, after all.

0:07:270:07:31

We're even more bored now.

0:07:310:07:34

Oh! Oh!

0:07:340:07:36

LAUGHTER

0:07:410:07:44

Warning! The Great Rains have come!

0:07:440:07:49

You've played that joke on us already.

0:07:490:07:51

Pass me the ball, Herbert!

0:07:510:07:54

But this time it's really real.

0:07:550:07:59

Listen, Giggles and Tickles, we've had enough of your tricks.

0:07:590:08:03

Georgina is the new watcher. And she's the one who'll tell us.

0:08:030:08:08

Well, what's she waiting for then?

0:08:080:08:10

Georgina? Georginaahhh!

0:08:100:08:13

Oh! Ah! What? Yes?

0:08:140:08:18

Have you felt the first drop of the Great Rains?

0:08:180:08:22

Er... NO!

0:08:220:08:24

No, nothing to report.

0:08:240:08:26

Thank you, Georgina.

0:08:260:08:28

What?! This isn't right.

0:08:280:08:30

Georgina! Look! The cloud!

0:08:310:08:34

Huh? Ah... The... What?

0:08:350:08:37

Oh! RAIN! Oh, RAIN!

0:08:390:08:41

Oh, quick! Everybody to the Blue Mountain!

0:08:430:08:47

'But it was too late.

0:08:470:08:49

'The water had already started to rise.'

0:08:490:08:52

Oh, no!

0:08:520:08:54

Hey, I've got an idea. And this time it's a good one!

0:08:540:09:00

Oh, thanks! Very clever.

0:09:230:09:26

MONKEYS: Oh, no!

0:09:260:09:28

There were no leaves left to build a boat for Giggles and Tickles.

0:09:280:09:32

CRAZED CHATTERING

0:09:320:09:36

-Is everybody safe?

-ALL: YES!

0:09:400:09:44

No! We're missing Giggles and Tickles!

0:09:440:09:48

Poor Giggles and Tickles.

0:09:500:09:52

We felt sorry for them.

0:09:520:09:54

At least we've got something to eat.

0:09:540:09:59

Are you coming?

0:09:590:10:01

TOBY! Oh, let's go!

0:10:010:10:02

GIGGLING AND CHATTERING

0:10:140:10:17

And in the end, it was the happiest Great Rains we'd ever had!

0:10:220:10:28

And since that day,

0:10:280:10:30

Giggles and Tickles never play any more silly jokes.

0:10:300:10:34

Sorry, Nelson. I won't do it again either.

0:10:340:10:39

EVERYONE LAUGHS

0:10:390:10:41

Thanks for the story. Goodnight, everyone.

0:10:410:10:45

ALL: Goodnight, Lucy.
