0:00:47 > 0:00:50These are all so bright and colourful.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54And funny-shaped compared to the ones in the shop.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57But they're really good for you, full of vitamins.

0:00:57 > 0:01:02- Vitamins?- Yes, stuff that's found in foods we eat.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Your body needs vitamins to work properly,

0:01:05 > 0:01:09- so that you grow up like your... - Like Dad?- Yes, nice and healthy.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Ooh, look at this!

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Goodness, what have you got there?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18I don't know, what is it?

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Do you think it's some kind of hidden treasure?

0:01:21 > 0:01:26Treasure? Well, that would be a surprise.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28But it might be.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Pirate treasure...- Ooh-arr!

0:01:34 > 0:01:37..hidden for hundreds of years.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Buried here in the ground.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44But why is it buried in the community garden?

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Hmm, I'm not sure.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Let's take the treasure back upstairs,

0:01:53 > 0:01:57then we can start to work out what it is that we found.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Let's get solving!- Solving!

0:01:59 > 0:02:01SHE CHUCKLES

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Um, this doesn't look like our treasure.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16No-one's seen treasure like this before.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19- It could be very rare and even more valuable.- Hm.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26It could be one of those dinosaur-thingy whatsits, you know?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29A fossil. Yes, it's a fossil!

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Yes!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- But how did they get here on the estate?- Hmm.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45It probably came from a dinosaur that roamed around Apple Tree House

0:02:45 > 0:02:47millions of years ago.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh, my gosh!

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Dinosaurs used to live here? Cool!

0:02:56 > 0:03:00My dad would know about this, he works at the zoo.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Gran, can we go ask him?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Please, please, please!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07He's watching the football on TV with my dad.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11All right, let me finish up here and then we'll go and talk to him.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Yes!- Awesome!

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it. - Come on.- Come on...

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Hi, Dad.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Oh, no!- Sorry to interrupt your match, boys, Mali's found

0:03:27 > 0:03:31something strange and interesting in the community garden today.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Bella helped research it on the computer,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36but we couldn't find anything about it.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38We think it's a dinosaur fossil.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Dinosaur fossil? Is that possible?

0:03:41 > 0:03:42What do you think?

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yes, it's certainly possible.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Fossils have been found in the strangest of places.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52If it's important, does that mean we'll be famous scientists?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Well, if it turns out to be a dinosaur bone,

0:03:54 > 0:03:56you certainly could be.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Scientists who study dinosaur bones or fossils are

0:03:59 > 0:04:01called palaeontologists.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Zoo archaeologists study how humans interacted with animals.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Wow, we're ologists!

0:04:06 > 0:04:10It certainly looks like an old bone of animal origin.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12It could well be that of a dinosaur.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Wow, this is a real find!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Fossils are so exciting!

0:04:18 > 0:04:21They help us imagine what life

0:04:21 > 0:04:23for these amazing old creatures was like.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30CAWING

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Dinosaurs as big as a house!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Ah, yeah!

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Ooh, that's scary.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Dinosaurs roaming around Apple Tree House.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Dinosaurs were massive and they'd probably gobble you up!

0:04:43 > 0:04:45No need to worry, Bella.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49The last of the dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Our earliest ancestors didn't arrive until much later,

0:04:52 > 0:04:54about five million years ago.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57So despite what you see on TV,

0:04:57 > 0:05:01people and dinosaurs never lived on our planet at the same time.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04It would have been impossible for dinosaurs to gobble up people

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- or keep them as pets. - Phew, thank goodness for that!

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- WHISTLE BLOWS - Oh! Oh, that was close!

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Why don't you take it to work, see if you can find out more about it?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16- CHILDREN:- Please!

0:05:16 > 0:05:18That is a great idea.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Now, can we watch the rest of the footy?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Come on, you Reds!

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Have you heard about the dinosaur fossil?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- The what?- The dinosaur fossil.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Everyone's talking about it.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46No, but tell me more.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Apparently, Mali and Grandma Zainab went to the community garden

0:05:50 > 0:05:52and found a dinosaur fossil.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- What, here?- Yes.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59It could be an important and valuable archaeological find.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Hiya.- Oh, hi, Ian.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Here's that fit-all super wrench I borrowed.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08Listen, have you guys heard anything about this dinosaur thingy?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Fossil.- Dinosaur fossil?

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Oh, yeah. Nadeem took it off to work at the zoo to have it analysed.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18I reckon them archae...olly people...

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Zoo archaeologists and palaeontologists.- Yeah.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24..may have to excavate the garden,

0:06:24 > 0:06:26see if any more fossils can be found.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30That'll cause disruption, an area of the estate closed off,

0:06:30 > 0:06:32affecting access to some of the flats.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36The car park, play area, sheds, and gardens.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Disruption?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Upheaval?- Yeah.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43The residents aren't going to be happy.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Unhappy residents?

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Unhappy Dad.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50I can imagine it.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56HE SIGHS AND GROANS

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Argh!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Anyway, Dad, look on the bright side.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Our estate's going to be famous.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14I'd better cordon off the area if the community garden will become

0:07:14 > 0:07:17an important archaeological site.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Then we better stop in to see Zainab and Mali,

0:07:20 > 0:07:23find out if they know what's going on with this

0:07:23 > 0:07:26archaeological dinosaur thingy.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35Well, Gran and I were picking vegetables in the community garden,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37and that's when I saw it.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42Then we got solving, but we didn't find what we wanted on the internet.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46But Nadeem told us all about palaeontologists,

0:07:46 > 0:07:48zoo archaeologists,

0:07:48 > 0:07:49and dinosaurs.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53And Dad said he'd take it into work.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55So we'd know if it was important or valuable.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00They are probably loads more fossils that will have to be dug up.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- And then we'll all be ologists. - Mm-hm.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05I want to be a zoo archaeologist.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well, this is an unexpected turnout.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Dad, did you find out about the fossil?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yes, everyone's DESPERATE to know.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17You've come in just in time for a nice cuppa.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I didn't think so many people would be interested in an old bone.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Is it valuable? - Are we going to be famous?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27I need to know how the estate will run if have to close off

0:08:27 > 0:08:31the car park and the gardens because of an archaeological dig.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36Well, after taking it to work, I can reveal that...

0:08:36 > 0:08:38it is indeed very old.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39- Amazing!- Yes!- Wow.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43- But not millions of years old.- Oh.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's not a fossil bone, as first thought, but a tooth.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- A dinosaur tooth?- Well, no.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's not a tooth from a dinosaur.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Probably a large shark.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Wow! A large shark.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Oh, my gosh.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Cool. That sounds FINteresting.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16HE LAUGHS AND CLEARS THROAT

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Sorry, Nadeem, go on, mate.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21As I was saying, a shark,

0:09:21 > 0:09:24certainly something very large that lived in the sea.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26It's a marine species.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29How did the shark's tooth find its way to Apple Tree House?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Yeah, we live nowhere near the sea.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34It all sounds a bit FISHY to me.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Dad!

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Well, that presents us with an even bigger mystery.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Nadeem, is it possible to see what all the fuss is about, please?

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Sure.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52KOBI LAUGHS

0:09:53 > 0:09:56What's so funny?

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Kobi, what's so funny?

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Well, I'll tell you.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Is everyone sitting comfortably? - Yeah!- Yeah.

0:10:04 > 0:10:10Many, many years ago, my father told the story

0:10:10 > 0:10:12of my great-uncle,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Brightness Apapafio,

0:10:15 > 0:10:19who was a fisherman in Accra, Ghana.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Now, because of storms and bad weather,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26the fishing boats hadn't gone out in days,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29and the village was very hungry.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33That evening, Brightness decided to brave the weather and set out.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38He knew he could become lost as another storm was brewing,

0:10:38 > 0:10:41so as soon as his nets were full of fish,

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Brightness battled through the rough sea to haul them in.

0:10:45 > 0:10:50And then suddenly, out of the dark water, a face appeared.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53A giant shark with its mouth open wide.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Wow!- Whoa.- That is cool.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01But instead of chomping on the boat,

0:11:01 > 0:11:06the shark gently nudged Uncle Bright back to land

0:11:06 > 0:11:08with all the food for the village.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Back home, people didn't think it was possible,

0:11:11 > 0:11:17until the next morning, when my dad went to check out the fishing boat.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22And there, glistening in the water,

0:11:22 > 0:11:24a giant tooth.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Proof of Uncle Bright's tale.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32Well, he went down in fishing folklore

0:11:32 > 0:11:36as the hero who was saved by a friendly shark.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Many years later, my father handed the tooth down to me.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46- What about the shark? - Oh, he was seen a few more times,

0:11:46 > 0:11:48and he became known as "Argh, Shark!"

0:11:50 > 0:11:53But how could it get into our garden?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Ah, I like to be resourceful,

0:11:55 > 0:12:00so I simply used it as a gardening tool to plant my runner beans,

0:12:00 > 0:12:05which I have to say, and I'm very proud to say, have won a few prizes.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09See, perfect for seeding.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I must've left it in the garden, haven't seen it in ages.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14I thought I'd lost it.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17So it's not old?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19But it is, and valuable.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21And important.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24You see, another tradition is something

0:12:24 > 0:12:29that has such a powerful story doesn't really belong to anyone.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30It finds you.

0:12:30 > 0:12:36From the shark to Uncle Brightness, and he told his story.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39It found me, and I told my story.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42And now it's found you,

0:12:42 > 0:12:44and you now have your own story.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Whoa! Cool!

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Do you know what, I think you better hang onto it for a while longer.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Yay!

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Hey, Mali. What an adventure.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06It's certainly the oldest

0:13:06 > 0:13:09and most significant thing I've ever come across.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Goodnight, Son.- Goodnight, Dad.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Oh, well. We didn't get to become zoo archaeologists.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Probably just as well.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23THEY LAUGH

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Could you imagine my dad and everyone in the garden

0:13:26 > 0:13:28digging for fossils?

0:13:28 > 0:13:32But we did learn loads about dinosaurs, palaeontologists

0:13:32 > 0:13:34and marine species.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36And how to plant runner beans.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39And the best bit was your dad's story about the shark.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- You're a good friend, Mali. - And you're a great friend, Sam.
