0:00:02 > 0:00:06Beneath the American prairies, deep underground.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09The Little Prairie Dogs are stirring.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Come on, Little Prairie Dogs!
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Wake up!
0:00:15 > 0:00:20It's time to tell a story of life on the prairies.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Eek! Eek! Eek! Eek!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
0:00:54 > 0:00:59It's a lovely sunny morning and brothers, Snow and Ashki,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01are ready for a day of adventure.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Mum's allowing them to explore town without her.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07She's warned them to be careful -
0:01:07 > 0:01:11not every neighbour in town wants to be friendly.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Oh, Ashki! This is going to be fun! Our very own adventure.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I know, Snow. It's brilliant!
0:01:19 > 0:01:22But we do have to stay together and stay safe.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Mum said there are dangerous animals out on the prairie.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30But how are we supposed to know who's dangerous?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34We just have to remember all the things Mum's taught us.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Come on! Let's go.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Morning, everyone!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Yoo-hoo!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Anybody around?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Hey, who's that in one of our burrows?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52It's just Ricky the rabbit.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Remember? He moved into our old burrow last year.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Oh, yes. I remember now.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Ricky's harmless. Hiya, Ricky!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I don't think he can hear me, Snow.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09What? Even with those big, long bunny ears?
0:02:09 > 0:02:14I'll try. Ricky! Ricky!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16RICKY!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Oops! He heard me THAT time.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Hiya, Ricky.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Can we go find some more neighbours now?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I like making friends.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32All right, then. See you, Ricky!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Oh! Ashki! I just saw something.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44What? Where? I can't see anything.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50There! Did you see it? Oh, it's disappeared.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Maybe it was Ricky Rabbit again.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57No, it was far too small to be a rabbit.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Hello. Where are you?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Ha-ha! There you are. Ashki, look!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Near that burrow, can't you see it?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Right there in the middle, he's tiny.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I can see him now, Snow. He IS tiny!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18It's Lizard Little.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Come on, let's get a bit closer.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Wow! Lizard Little's dancing!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Look! Ha, ha-ha!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Do it again.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Ha-ha! That looks funny.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I love dancing. Look, watch me!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You're so funny, Snow,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43but I think Lizard Little's a better mover than you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Ah-ooh, ooh-ah!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Ooh-ooh, ooh-ah!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Mum says his fast moves keep him out of trouble.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57She loves it when he visits. He eats up the insects that would bite us.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, Ashki, I'm a fast mover too.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Watch, I'll race you to the burrow over there.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Wait, Snow! Mum said I had to look after you
0:04:07 > 0:04:11and you've just run off! Come back!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Snow, we must stay together.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Not every animal around our town's friendly.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25And you never know who's hiding in some of the burrows.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Look over there, Snow.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Oh, Ashki! What are they?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32They look really cute.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37They're swift foxes, Snow. And "swift" means they're fast.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Are they faster than me?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'm the fastest thing around here.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45They're much faster than you, Snow.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48And they're much bigger than you, Snow.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50They're having such a good time
0:04:50 > 0:04:53rolling around and chasing each other.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Can we go and play, Ashki?
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Sorry, Snow. Prairie dogs aren't friends with the foxes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Oh, why not? They look cute and have big fluffy tails.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Hmm, I think it's something to do with their sharp teeth.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Sharp teeth? I can't see any sharp teeth.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Not yet, but we shouldn't hang around.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Let's go this way and hope they don't see us.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26RATTLING
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Do you hear something?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Um, not really.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32What kind of thing?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36A strange rattling noise... It's coming from over there.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38RATTLING
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Ashki, I don't like it when I can hear things, but can't see them!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46RATTLE Oh!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Don't panic, Snow. I'll look.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I think it's empty.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Oh, no! It's not! Snow, get out of here!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Snakes alive! Run!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It's a rattlesnake, Snow.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04And Mum says they're dangerous neighbours.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09But we can run faster than a snake can slither. Can't we, Snow?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Oh, yes, Ashki. We really can!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Quick! Into this burrow, Snow!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Phew, that was close.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I need to catch my breath.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27I've never run so fast in all my life.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31But we can't stay here, Snow. It's not our burrow.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I wish we'd stayed closer to home.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Yes, I think we should make our way back to Mum.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Come on, follow me!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Ah! No!
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Go back, Snow!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53There's a huge hawk up there on the edge of the burrow.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Oh, what does he look like, Ashki?
0:06:57 > 0:07:02He's got a huge pointy beak and big orange eyes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Yikes! Anything else?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09At the end of his feet, he's got long, sharp claws.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And his favourite food is a prairie dog picnic!
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Huh! What are we going to do, Ashki?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Don't worry, I'll scare him away.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I'll give him a surprise, too! Watch.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Go away, Mr Hawk!
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Leave us alone!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Aaaah!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It worked, Snow. He's gone.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34He's flown away. It's safe to go out.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Let's go before he comes back!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Good idea, Snow.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Let's play I Spy. That will help us remember the neighbours we've met.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46OK, Ashki. You go first.
0:07:46 > 0:07:53I spy with my little eye something beginning with...R.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Um... Yes! Rabbit! Ricky Rabbit, he's a friend.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Now it's my turn!
0:07:59 > 0:08:04I spy with my little eye something beginning with...S.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06And it hisses.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08S-s-snake.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11You gave me too much of a clue, Snow!
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I'm glad we're home, Ashki.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20We've met so many neighbours, but I'm glad you knew which were friendly
0:08:20 > 0:08:22and which to stay away from.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27And now you know too, Snow. That's what big brothers are for, isn't it?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It's my turn for I Spy, now.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I spy with my little eye something beginning with L.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, um...
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Is it Lizard Little? He's my favourite. All that dancing.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41What fun! Hee-hee!
0:08:41 > 0:08:46OK. I spy with my little eye something beginning with...H.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Snow and Ashki have had fun meeting their neighbours.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Now they're back home, safe and sound, with their family.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58H... Is it hawk?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02No!
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Horses? - No, we've not seen any horses!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I give up, Snow. What is it?
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Home.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Oh, Snow!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Can we play again? Can we?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18So, as the sun sets on the open prairies of North America,
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Goodbye from all the friends and neighbours of Prairie Dog Town.
