0:00:35 > 0:00:38by Kes Gray and Mary McQuillan.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hello, I'm Nurse Nibbles.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44This is my hospital garden

0:00:44 > 0:00:48and these are all my get-well friends.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52In my garden I have lots of comfy chairs of all shapes and sizes,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55which is a good job, because poorly animals

0:00:55 > 0:00:58come to visit me from all over the world.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02I've looked after cows with coughs, rabbits with rashes,

0:01:02 > 0:01:06foxes with fevers, terrapins with temperatures

0:01:06 > 0:01:09and even herons with hiccoughs.

0:01:09 > 0:01:14The other day a new poorly patient came to see me.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15Her name was Zoe the Zebra

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- and she was limping really badly. - "Ouch!"

0:01:18 > 0:01:23This is the story of how Zoe the zebra hurt her ankle.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26It was a beautiful day in Africa.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28The sun was shining, the birds were singing

0:01:28 > 0:01:34and all the zebras were peacefully eating their lunch, except Zoe.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38"Watch out for lions!" said Zoe, looking around anxiously.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43"Lions have huge teeth and if they catch us, they'll eat us!"

0:01:43 > 0:01:45The other zebras sighed.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48There wasn't a lion to be seen anywhere.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51"Watch out for leopards!" whimpered Zoe.

0:01:51 > 0:01:56"Leopards' claws are really sharp, especially if they grab you."

0:01:56 > 0:02:00"Zoe, stop worrying," said the other zebras.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04"There aren't any leopards around either."

0:02:04 > 0:02:07"Then watch out for hyenas" shivered Zoe.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10"Hyenas like zebras for lunch, too."

0:02:10 > 0:02:13"The hyenas are on a diet, Zoe," said the zebras.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16"You don't have to worry about them."

0:02:16 > 0:02:19"Watch out for bushes!" squeaked Zoe.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22"Bushes?!" exclaimed the zebras.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25"Yes!" said Zoe with a shudder.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28"Something could be hiding behind a bush.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31"Something huge and scary with sharp teeth!"

0:02:31 > 0:02:34The zebras began walking across the plains.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36There wasn't a bush to be seen.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39"Zoe, we are perfectly safe" they said.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43"Watch out for crocodiles!" said Zoe, looking left.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46"Watch out for the rhinos!" she wavered, looking right.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49"Watch out for the vultures!" she gulped, looking up.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Whoa! Crash! Wallop!

0:02:52 > 0:02:56"Watch out for the tortoise!" laughed the zebras.

0:02:56 > 0:03:01Poor Zoe. She'd been so busy looking out for scary animals,

0:03:01 > 0:03:05she tripped over a harmless little tortoise.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07What a silly zebra.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11No wonder she hurt her ankle so badly.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Never mind. The good news is

0:03:13 > 0:03:15once I'd bandaged her ankle

0:03:15 > 0:03:18and bathed her stripes with warm water,

0:03:18 > 0:03:20she began to feel much better.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25Zoe got plenty of rest and sunshine in my wonderful garden

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and after lots of fuss and attention,

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I am very pleased to tell you

0:03:30 > 0:03:36Zoe the poorly zebra did get better in the end.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40That story was called Zoe The Zebra Hurts Her Ankle.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Silly Zoe for not looking where she was going

0:03:43 > 0:03:45and tripping over a tortoise.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Right, whilst I take elephant to see Nurse Nibbles,

0:03:49 > 0:03:51you should get ready for bed,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54and make sure you don't trip over any tortoises!
