0:05:04 > 0:05:08- She never looks before - she does anything!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- It has come to my attention.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- May I make a suggestion, - Your Majesty?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15- Please do, Tortoise.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- We choose an animal - to keep watch over young Meerkat.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Teach her to look before she leaps.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- But Meerkat doesn't stay still - enough to listen to anybody.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- We must try. Any volunteers?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- I'll watch over Meerkat. Maybe I'll - find out why she never looks out.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Excellent idea, Guinea Fowl, maybe - you can persuade her to change?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- I love a challenge, Your Majesty.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- I love a challenge, Your Majesty.- - Now you have one.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- Do not let young Meerkat go anywhere - near those sleeping stones.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- We don't want her - waking up the stones.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- What would happen?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55- What would happen?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- No beast knows - and no beast needs to know.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Well, I'd be interested to find out, - because...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Tortoise, no beast touches - the stones! It is nature's way.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Yes, Your Majesty. - Of course, Your Majesty.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Now, lala salama, everybody. - Time to sleep.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Whee! Woo-hoo!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Slow down, Meerkat, - why do you have to run everywhere?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Watch out for Warthog!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Sorry, Warthog.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Meerkat! Humph!
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Now, Meerkat, slow down - and look before you...
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- ..step on Tortoise!
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Sorry, Tortoise.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Sorry, Tortoise.- - That's OK, I'm used to it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Meerkat, you really - must look out for others.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- That animal doesn't stay still - long enough to listen to anybody!
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Come back here, Meerkat. - Come back right now.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- I want to find the monkeys.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- I want to find the monkeys.- - The monkeys are back there!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- They could be this way.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Slow down! - I'm not sure where we are.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- We could be miles away, - we could be...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Oh, no! The sleeping stones.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Don't worry, Guinea Fowl, - we're not that far away.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Meerkat, the sleeping stones. - Look out!
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- Oh, no.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Meerkat. Listen.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Mmmm, yeh, mmmm, yeh.
0:08:06 > 0:08:14- In the past, Meerkat, you have never - looked out for anyone or anything.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- But now, - you must hold your nose high.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- You must always be on the lookout.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23- Do you understand me?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- I must hold my nose high - and always be on the lookout.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Always on the lookout, - always on the lookout.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Incredible!- - I know! The stones spoke to me!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- What did they say?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Nose high - and always be on the lookout.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- And for the very first time, - you listened?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- It was hard not to. Did you see - how big those stones were?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- You've got to be on the lookout, - you've got to be on the lookout.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Very good, Meerkat, very good.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55- And she ran straight - into the sleeping stones!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- The sleeping stones!
