0:00:49 > 0:00:51Can you see who they are?

0:00:51 > 0:00:56- I can see Hip!- And there's Hop, too.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01You're right! It is Hip and Hop. Let's go and see them, shall we?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03What do you want to do, Hip?

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Oh, I don't know, Hop.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I wish I could go on a long journey.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12That would be fun.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hello, you two. What are you up to?

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Hi, Driver Dan.- Hello.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22We're not doing anything.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27- How about coming on a journey on the Story Train?- A journey?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30That's what you just wished for, Hip!

0:01:30 > 0:01:33I crunched my carrot and made a wish!

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Wow! Maybe it's a special carrot.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Yeah, a wishing carrot!

0:01:40 > 0:01:43I've never heard of one of those before,

0:01:43 > 0:01:45but who knows, it just might be.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Come on, all aboard.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51A wishing carrot!

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Twinkle, are we ready to go? Are you ready, too?

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Then let's go!

0:01:56 > 0:02:00CHILDREN: All aboard the Story Train!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Who's Twinkle spotted now? Can you see who it is?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07It's Tallulah!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Look, she's with Precious.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12They're playing in the sand.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let's stop and say hello.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Oh! I'm going to tell Precious and Tallulah

0:02:20 > 0:02:23about my wishing carrot.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Do you think it really is a wishing carrot, Driver Dan?

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Mm, who knows? But we can help it to become one.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Good idea!

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Does it taste like a normal carrot?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Uh-huh. Shall I show you how it works?

0:02:40 > 0:02:41Oh, yes, please.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46Here goes. Oh, wishing carrot, hear Hip's wish.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51I wish my journey would take me to a pirate island.

0:02:54 > 0:03:01- Nothing's happened. It's not a wishing carrot after all.- Oh, dear.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05- What can we do?- Any ideas, Hop? - Ha, ha.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Yes! I think so.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Shh. Listen to this. HE WHISPERS

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Great idea!

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Oh, yes, we could do that.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Come on, Twinkle, let's go and find Hip.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21We'll need sand.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Hip's going to love it! Ha, ha.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Have you found your pirate island yet?

0:03:28 > 0:03:32No, the wishing carrot doesn't work.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Mm, I think I know what you need.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39- All pirates need a parrot. - Squawk!- Ha, ha!

0:03:39 > 0:03:44- Ha-ha! Twinkle, my own pirate parrot!- Squawk!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oh, where's my parrot going?

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Maybe she knows the way to a pirate island.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Oh! Wait for me!- Good luck!

0:03:55 > 0:03:59Oh, look, Hop's binoculars.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03These would make great pirate binoculars.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08There he is! Quick, hide!

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Ha, ha, ha.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Ahar! Look!

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Twinkle, it's a pirate island!

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Come on!

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Har!

0:04:27 > 0:04:30We made it to Pirate Island!

0:04:30 > 0:04:33ALL: Har, har!

0:04:35 > 0:04:36Journey's end -

0:04:36 > 0:04:42Pirate Island, with my pirate crew. Ahar!

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Do you like it?

0:04:43 > 0:04:47It's my wish come true! Thank you.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Ahar!

0:04:50 > 0:04:54And now I've got another wish.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Oh, wishing carrot, hear Hip's wish.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00I wish for a story for me and all my friends.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05This wish is an easy one to help with, eh, Twinkle?

0:05:05 > 0:05:08All aboard for Story Corner!

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Yay! My wish came true!

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Thanks, wishing carrot.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Story Corner, hoorah!

0:05:17 > 0:05:19There we are, all hooked up.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Are we ready to go, Twinkle?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Chirp, chirp.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Are you ready, too? Then, let's go!

0:05:27 > 0:05:30CHILDREN: All aboard the Story Train!

0:05:31 > 0:05:37- We're going to have a story. - I think it will be about pirates.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Or hidden treasure. - Or playing games with your friends.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Who's ready for a story then?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Ready already, Driver Dan.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Ah-ha! I know just the book.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Is everybody settled down and ready to listen?- Yes.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07And all of you? Sitting down and ready to listen?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Ready, Driver Dan.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13This story is called Marat The Camel.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15It was written by Georges Estephan

0:06:15 > 0:06:17and the pictures are by Hatem Fathy Aly.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21The oasis creatures were playing in the noon day sun.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25"What fun it is to splash in the spring!" giggled the little camels,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28kicking up the fresh water with their hooves.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32They were so busy playing, they didn't notice

0:06:32 > 0:06:36a new little camel, Marat, had arrived at the oasis.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Marat trotted over. "Hello there," he called cheerfully.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41"My name is..."

0:06:41 > 0:06:45But he didn't get any further, for the other camels squealed

0:06:45 > 0:06:48and galloped to the other side of the water.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Oh, that wasn't very friendly. - No, it wasn't Hip.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55"How strange," thought Marat.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57He spotted a jerboa.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00"Hello there," he began again.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03"My name is..." But before he could finish,

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Jerboa had scampered off into her burrow, squeaking, "Help!"

0:07:07 > 0:07:11The same thing happened when Marat went to talk to Ibex

0:07:11 > 0:07:13and to Lizard.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18Finally, he gave up with a sigh and settled himself in a lonely spot.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Poor Marat.- Yes, poor Marat.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25"I'm afraid it's a question of humps,"

0:07:25 > 0:07:30said Falcon, the wisest creature in the desert, who had been watching.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32He perched close to Marat.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36"In these parts, camels only have one hump

0:07:36 > 0:07:38"and you, my friend, have two.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42"I'm sorry to say the other camels are afraid."

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Marat was surprised.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48"I guess they don't know how great it is to have two humps," he said.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52"Great?" asked Ibex from behind a tree.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57"Really?" murmured Jerboa, peaking out of her burrow.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59"Why, yes," cried Marat.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02My extra hump keeps me lovely and warm on cold nights.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06"Oooh," cooed Lizard, creeping closer.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09"And I can store twice as much food as you,"

0:08:09 > 0:08:13said Marat to the little camels who were trotting over.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15"Wow!" they gasped.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18"You see, in the country I come from,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21"all camels have two humps," said Marat.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Yes, camels with two humps live in a country a long way away

0:08:25 > 0:08:27from camels with one hump.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31That's right, Precious, a long, long way away.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34That afternoon, the oasis creatures listened to

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Marat's enchanting stories about the far off land he came from

0:08:38 > 0:08:42and about the many other beautiful places he had travelled to.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45That night, they dreamt of the desert sun,

0:08:45 > 0:08:50of far off lands and of their new friend, Marat,

0:08:50 > 0:08:53the two-humped camel.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57- The end. Did you enjoy the story? - Oh, yes!

0:08:57 > 0:09:02Would you like to use the carrot to wish for another hump, Precious?

0:09:02 > 0:09:06No, thanks. I'd rather wish for a snack.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Ha, ha, ha!

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Now it's your turn. Which bit did you like best?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Come on, it's time to show me the story.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Look, it's Marat.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20He's not like the others.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23He's a camel with two humps.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Come on, let's splash. - Everyone's here, come on in.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28We're splashing and sploshing!

0:09:28 > 0:09:33- Jump like Jerboa. - I'm a jerboa, too.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34I'm hiding, hello!

0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Look, Lizard is up the tree. - Hello, Lizard.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I'm flying like the falcon.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Me, too. Flappity flap!

0:09:44 > 0:09:47We're moving like Marat.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Do a camel walk!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Time for bed.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54ALL: Night-night.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01I loved all the different animals. Thanks for showing me the story.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Marat went on a long journey to the land with one-humped camels.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10Hip went on a journey, too, all the way to Pirate Island.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Thank you, everyone, for making my wish come true.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Chirp, chirp, chirp.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19I'm glad you enjoyed the story, but our journey is not over yet.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Now it's time to go. All aboard!

0:10:22 > 0:10:26CHILDREN: All aboard the Story Train! All aboard!

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Bye, everyone. It's time to go.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37But let's come back soon because we all love stories!
