0:00:04 > 0:00:06Charlie!
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Lola?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Charlie.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I have this little sister Lola.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38She is small and very funny.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Miaow!- Not a cat, no.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Is it a rabbit?
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Uh-uh.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Today Lola is excited. - Nei-ei-ei-gh!- ..No.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- Because Mum and Dad said I'm allowed to have a pet.- Please, tell me.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56What is it going to be? Give me a tiny weeny help.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Yoo-hoo.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12What are you going to call your mouse, Charlie? Mouse?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Nibbles.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Hello, Nibbles.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Can I hold him?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Not yet. The man in the shop said we have to let him get used to us
0:01:24 > 0:01:28and to his new home...slowly.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30SQUEAKING AND RUSTLING
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Look, Lola.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Isn't he sweet?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Oh, he's very soft.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Can I hold him?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I'll be very careful.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00OK. But the pet shop man said you have to wash your hands afterwards.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01OK, I will.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I just want to hold him for a bit more longerer.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- There's the food. - There you go, Nibbles.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15CHARLIE AND LOLA LAUGH
0:02:15 > 0:02:17You are a very clever mouse.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I bet Nibbles can do even more cleverer things.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Make him go up my arm too.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38He really is extremely clever, Charlie.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Tomorrow is our bring a pet to school day. Miles brings Sizzles
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- and I'll bring Nibbles. - Come on, Nibbles.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51Nibbles will definitely be the cleverest pet in the whole school.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Go on, Nibbles, along the top of the rope.- Come on!
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Go to Lola.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Oh.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04THEY GIGGLE
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Stick insects. Stick insects are really good pets.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You have to be careful how you hold them.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18If you drop them by accident, their legs fall off.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21ALL GASP
0:03:21 > 0:03:23But they do grow back again.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Thank you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28My dog Sizzles is a sausage dog,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31also called a dachshund.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I've taught him all sorts of things.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Like...sit!- Woof!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Sit!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Woof!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Will you sit down?- Woof!
0:03:41 > 0:03:42ALL LAUGH
0:03:42 > 0:03:44(Sizzles, sit...)
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Mice. Mice are really clever.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Their tails are the same length as their bodies.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53They belong to the family of animals called rodents.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55They don't use...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Look, Nibbles' nose is going all twitchy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Does that mean he's happy?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Yes. Happy.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- I'm going to ask my little sister Lola to come up and help me...- Yes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10..to show you how clever Nibbles is.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Go.- Nibbles.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Nibbles. Nibbles.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Huh.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25You can do it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Go to Lola.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Yes!- Nibbles did it!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37When Nibbles is older and bigger,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40he might be able to do all kinds of tricks.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Millions and a hundred of people
0:04:43 > 0:04:48will come to see Nibbles the daredevil mouse!
0:04:48 > 0:04:53The first ever mouse to cross a waterfall on a tightrope.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Come on, Nibbles!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Careful, Nibbles.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Oh, I can't watch.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08You can do it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Yes! The cleverest mouse in the universe.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- He'll have to be much biggerer to do that trick, won't he, Charlie?- Yep.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Sleep tight, Nibbles.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Hello, Nibbles.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Nibbles, where are you? - Where are you?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45There you are!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Nibbles, don't do that.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51That's Charlie's present.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Most of all, you like being stroked,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59don't you?
0:06:01 > 0:06:02But then, one day...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Isn't Nibbles awake yet?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- No, Lola.- Sleepy Nibbles! Do you think he will wake up
0:06:10 > 0:06:13if I go and get his favourite mouse food?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17No, I don't think so.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Why not, Charlie?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Because...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I think...Nibbles has died.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I don't think so, Charlie.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29He's just tired and just very not moving...
0:06:29 > 0:06:30like a statue.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35I'm afraid, Lola, Nibbles is definitely not going to wake up.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You're just not seeing properly, Charlie.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Oh.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Nibbles is completely not moving, Charlie.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I know.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Mum said we can use this box to bury Nibbles in.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Why do we have to bury him?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It's what you do when your mouse dies.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07The Ancient Egyptians used to make a sarcophagus.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10What is a sarpopapus?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15It's a kind of special box that they decorated and put treasure in.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- For mice?- No, for when one of the Ancient Egypt people died.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23But I think it'd be nice to make one for Nibbles,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25because he was really special.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39So we decorated a special box for Nibbles.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Nibbles loved glitter.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46And leaves. He loved leaves.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50And we put all of Nibbles' favourite things into his box.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- And this was his favourite. - That's my sock.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Uh-uh. That was Nibbles' favouritest sock.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Mum wrapped Nibbles in a handkerchief
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and Dad dug a little hole in the garden,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08in a nice place by the tree.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11And then we had to say goodbye to Nibbles.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Nibbles, you were a very clever mouse
0:08:17 > 0:08:21and we didn't really mind you nibbling everything.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I will never forget you, Nibbles.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Mum says maybe pink milk will cheer you up, Lola.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Oh.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47I'm going to play downstairs with Marv. Do you want to come?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48No.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I miss Nibbles too.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Mice don't always live for a very long time, Lola.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Why not?- That's just the way it is.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Do you remember when Nibbles tried to help you do your painting?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Nibbles!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Mm, good painting!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Nibbles was quite naughty sometimes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Are you sure you don't want to come to Marv's?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20OK.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24You can play with my mouse Squeak if you like.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Aw! Maybe we can get another mouse, Lola.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31No, Charlie. I like mouses
0:09:31 > 0:09:38but I'll be very extremely upset in case the next mouse dies too.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42All mice die, Lola, because they don't live for very long.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44That's what Charlie said.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Oh!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Charlie, did you see what Squeak did?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53He jumped from here to all the way over here.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- That's his favourite trick. - Nibbles never did jumping.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- All mice are different. That's why they make such good pets.- Maybe.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Perhaps we should get another mouse after all.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13You know Nibbles was really good at the skipping rope, Charlie?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well, watch this.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Come on. Come on.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19SHE GIGGLES
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- What have you called him? - Tickles cos he always tickles.
