0:00:57 > 0:00:59- I'll tell you why.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Why Tickbird sits on Hippo's back.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Tickbird didn't always - sit on Hippo's back.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- Look at us. Two fine birds.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- And such beautiful, calm water.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Oh, my favourite time of day.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- You'd never see Tickbird near hippo.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- If she could help it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- A nice, quiet morning drink.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Whee!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Hippo! Not again!
0:01:51 > 0:01:57- There was a time when Tickbird - and Hippo weren't friends at all.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Hippo! Hippo, it's not funny.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- It's not funny!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- A tick.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10- Mmm.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Tasty! Tick, tick.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Get off! I have ticklish skin!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- I don't like being stood on.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Stop splashing, it's not funny. - It's not funny, I tell you.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- I'm ticklish!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Don't like it, huh?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Peace and quiet at last.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Maybe we can have a drink - before Hippo starts splashing again.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- Ah!
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- It would be nice if we could - all have our breakfast in peace.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56- So snappy!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- So snappy!- - I think we're safe.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- Woo-hoo!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Oh!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- That's enough!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- That's enough!- - Let's find somewhere else to drink.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- Oh.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- A water hole that stretches - as far as I can see.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- At last.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Salty water! Yuck!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Well, - what do you expect from the sea?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45- Tortoise?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Tortoise?- - This is the sea?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- Oh, yes. I like to come - and warm my shell on the sand.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Just as the sea is going out.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Going out? Where to?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Who knows? But out it goes - and in it comes again.
0:04:00 > 0:04:07- Twice every day. This morning, - the sea came all the way up to here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- And now look how far away it is! - Ha, ha! It's so clever!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- They call it a tide.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- That's all very well...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- ..but I don't like - the taste of salt for breakfast.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- What's wrong with the water - at the water hole?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24- Hippo's in it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31- She ruffled our feathers - all that - splashing, sploshing and splishing.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- I know, I know. It's about time - some beast told Hippo to stop.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- That's it! - And I'm going to tell her.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Oh!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- It's high time some little beast - taught that big beast a lesson.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Tickbird? What are you doing?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Woo-hoo!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Woo-hoo!- - Please Hippo, stop.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Hippo!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Hippo won't listen. - You'll just get sploshed again.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- Hippo! Stop sploshing - and splashing every beast.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- It's not funny. Not funny at all.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Quite right. Well said, little bird.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Sploshing is not funny.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Get off! I have ticklish skin.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- I don't like being stood on.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- You don't like me standing on you?
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- No, I don't. Not at all. - Get off! Please!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Then I challenge you to a contest.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- A contest? You? Challenge me?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Yes. And if you win, - then you can splash all you like.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Is that it?
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- No. If I win, - I can stand on you forever.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- If you win? Not a chance.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- What is this challenge, Tickbird?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- The challenge is...
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- ..who can drink the most water - in a single gulp.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- You'll never drink more than me! - Woo-hoo!
0:06:23 > 0:06:24- Do you accept the challenge?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Do you accept the challenge?- - Of course I accept.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Because I will win. - No doubt about it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- You have all heard. - Hippo has accepted the challenge.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- You, Tickbird, - must choose the time and place.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- We will go to the sea.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44- And the time?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- And the time?- - Tomorrow, breakfast time.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Attention all. - The challenge is set.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Tomorrow, breakfast time. - At the sea.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- So what are you thinking, Tickbird?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- If you have a plan, - I would like to know.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- I do have a plan. But it's a secret.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- We won't tell anybody.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- What are friends for?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Well, I chose the sea - because of what Tortoise said.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Ah, clever Tickbird. The tides.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- Ah, clever Tickbird. The tides.- - Uh-huh.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18- The tides?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- The water going up and down, - twice a day.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Sorry, still don't get you. - Big head, see? Tiny brain.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Don't worry, Elephant. - I don't understand it either.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Shh! You have to wait and see.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- See you at breakfast! Woo-hoo!
0:07:46 > 0:07:52- This is a contest to see who can - drink the most water in one gulp.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Not much of a contest if you ask me.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Not much of a contest if you ask me.- - I didn't ask you, Hippo.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Now... you will drink first.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- If Tickbird wins...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Tickbird will be allowed - to stand on Hippo's back forever.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- But if Hippo wins, Hippo can splosh - and jump as much as she likes.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15- Is it understood?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Is it understood?- - It is.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Hippo, it is time - for you to take your drink.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Ooh, the challenge!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Oh, Elephant, watch this! - Watch this!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Beat that, little bird!
0:08:41 > 0:08:41- Hmm.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Hmm.- - Right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Come on, Tickbird.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Not yet. Not yet.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57- Now!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Come on, Tickbird!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- What? It can't be!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Hippo drank the water - from this line to this line.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- And Tickbird drank the water - from this line...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- ..all the way...
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- ..to this line.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Well done, Tickbird.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- The difference is clear. - I declare Tickbird the winner.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Well done, Tickbird.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Tickbird can now stand on you - any time she likes.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Oh. It's not fair. - It must be a trick.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Hush, Hippo. - You must honour the challenge.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Yes indeed.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- And do you know, from the day - of the great water challenge...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- ..every animal was happy.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Because Hippo didn't splish - and splosh all day.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- Tickbird was happy because - she had all the food she could eat.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Yummy, yummy ticks! Mmmm!
0:10:21 > 0:10:29- And Hippo was happy because - Tickbird ate all the tickly ticks.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- That's why Tickbird - sits on Hippo's back.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- I still don't get it.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Tickbird didn't really drink half - the sea. It was the tide going out.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- But going where?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Tickbird won - and that's all we need to know.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Every animal was happy...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Out of my way!
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- ..except Crocodile, - but that's a whole other story.
