0:16:50 > 0:16:57.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Hmmm, no, not there. What about...
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Not on there either.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Hello, I'm Sanjeev. I'm searching to find out what something means.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Maybe you can help.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Do you know what 'jabber-jubber-nou-pou-lou' means?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30You don't? No, neither do I.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I've looked in the dictionary, the encyclopaedia, the phrasebook,
0:17:34 > 0:17:39I've searched online. Nothing, I don't even know what language it is.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Do you?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Maybe tonight's bedtime story will help.
0:17:43 > 0:17:49The story is by Gary Parsons and it's called Krong!
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Carl, and his dog Armando,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55were playing in the garden when a spaceship landed.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Out stepped an alien, and an alien dog.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01"Hello," said Carl.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03"Woof," said Armando.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06"Krong," said the alien.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09"Zoff," said the alien dog.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Carl ran into the house to get Mum.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15"Mum!" Carl shouted.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17"There's someone in the garden
0:18:17 > 0:18:20"who doesn't speak English and he's got a dog."
0:18:20 > 0:18:24"Perhaps he speaks French," said Carl's mum.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Carl ran back into the garden.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30"Bonjour," said Carl. That's 'hello' in French.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32"Ouah, ouah," said Armando.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35"Jabber-choober," said the alien.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39"Zoff," said the alien dog.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41"Dad!" Carl shouted.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43"There's someone in the garden
0:18:43 > 0:18:47"who doesn't speak English or French and he's got a dog."
0:18:47 > 0:18:51"Well, perhaps he speaks Spanish," said Carl's dad.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Carl ran back into the garden.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58"Hola," said Carl. That's 'hello' in Spanish.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01"Guau, guau," said Armando.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04"Nabber-nou-ba-nou," said the alien.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07"Zoff," said the alien dog.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10"Mum, Dad!" Carl shouted,
0:19:10 > 0:19:15"The person in the garden doesn't speak English, or French,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18"or Spanish, nor does his dog!"
0:19:18 > 0:19:23"Perhaps he speaks Japanese," said Carl's mum and dad.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Carl ran back into the garden.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30"Konnichiwa," said Carl. That's 'hello' in Japanese.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33"Won, won," said Armando.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38"Jabber-jubber-nou-pou-lou," said the alien, holding out a present.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42"Mum! Dad!" shouted Carl.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45"The person doesn't speak English, or French, or Spanish,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48"or Japanese and nor does his dog,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51"but he's got a present, and it might be for me!"
0:19:51 > 0:19:54"Has he got one eye, yellow skin,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58"four fingers and a spaceship?" asked Carl's dad.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01"Uh-huh," said Carl.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05"And a dog that only says 'Zoff'?" said Mum.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09"That's right!" said Carl.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14"Well, that'll be your uncle Phil from the planet Nou," said Dad.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19"He's come to visit," said Mum. "And he speaks Noubenese."
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Carl raced back outside.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26"Krong!" said Carl. That's 'hello' in Noubenese.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29"Krong," said uncle Phil.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32"Zoff," said uncle Phil's dog.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34"Zoff," said Armando.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38"Wow!"
0:20:38 > 0:20:41And that story was called Krong!
0:20:41 > 0:20:47That's why I couldn't find out what 'jabber-jubber-nou-pou-lou' meant,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I didn't have a Noubenese dictionary.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Ah! Here's the right one.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57It means, "I'm sorry, I don't speak anything other than Noubenese."
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Well, this translatathon helped.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03It would have been very helpful for that story.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I wonder what the Noubenese is for 'goodnight'.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Because it's time for you to go to bed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13And I'll see you soon for another story. Good night.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Right, let's see if this online Noubenese dictionary can tell me
0:21:17 > 0:21:20what 'Jub-juba-jab-jib-jib...?'
