0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Look, a singing cricket.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- Isn't it great?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- I gave away my special bone - to get it.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- It's fantastic.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- It's so beautiful, for an insect.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- He should be able - to sing all kinds of songs.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Off you go, Mr Cricket. - Let's hear a song.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- IT CHIRPS
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Is that singing?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- It was almost singing.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Kind of.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Nonsense. Every cricket does that.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- This silly cricket was meant to - sing, with words and everything.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Sioni, didn't you listen to it - before giving your bone away?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- No, but why would someone - lie to me about that?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Because they want your bone.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Sioni, you've been tricked.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Some people shouldn't be trusted.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- IT CHIRPS
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- It might not be able to sing - but it makes a lovely sound.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- I should know better.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Whoever heard of a singing cricket?
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- Maybe this cricket only sings - in a special place...
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- ..such as its bedroom, - cricket school or in the bath.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I do my best singing in the bath.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Sioni, I'm sure we'll find a good - place for the cricket to sing.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- It just needs a little adventure - - that's all.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Who's going on an adventure?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Us, Idwal. - Would you like to come with us?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- No, thanks.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Don't you want to hear it singing?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- I don't have time to listen - to singing like that.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- I'm busy doing secret things.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- And don't try and trick me. - Cheerio.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- It would be great if we could find - somewhere for the cricket to sing.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Off we go then.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- First, we need...
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- ..a huge balloon.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- I love being in the clouds.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- It makes me want to sing.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Maybe your cricket - would like to sing instead.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Come on, cricket, only one song.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I don't even have to like it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12- IT CHIRPS
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Any luck, Sioni?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- No. I don't think - it likes to be this high up.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- I agree.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- You never know - what's in the clouds.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Hello!
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- Hello!- - Hello, Gwenda.

0:04:36 > 0:04:37- IT CHIRPS
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- It's a cricket. It sings.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- A singing cricket? - Can I ask for a song?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- What can we ask it to sing?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Can it sing polka?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Well, Gwenda, - it doesn't want to sing.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Not even polka?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Maybe it will, - but we have to find the right place.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Where would a cricket like to sing?
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- I don't know, but I know of a pool - where toads play banjos.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- It's late. I must go. - A long journey ahead.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- All the way over cricket meadow.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Cricket meadow?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Near the woods, down there.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- A lovely place, apart from all - the singing crickets. Ta-ta for now.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Of all the pigeons in the world...
0:05:28 > 0:05:35- Something tells me that cricket - meadow is the ideal place for us.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Hold on tight, everyone.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- An attack!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- An attack!- - That can only mean one thing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Idwal!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- I'm not Idwal.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- I'm Tewdwr, the insect breaker.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I want to search your balloon.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Why do you have to do that?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- You've broken the rules.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- You've broken the rules.- - We didn't break any rules.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- I'll be the judge of that.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Everyone out of the balloon.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- IT CHIRPS
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- A-ha. I knew it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Crickets are banned around here.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Give it to me.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34- It's mine.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- It's mine.- - Not any more.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- I'm making sure there are no insects - on this mountain. Give it here.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- No!
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Look what you've done, Idwal. - You frightened the cricket away.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Of course I did. That's what makes - me a great insect breaker.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59- Idwal...
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Tewdwr, that was a special cricket.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Was it?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Yes, it was a singing cricket.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Well then, that's different. You're - allowed to have singing crickets.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Now you tell us.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- I'll help you find it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19- I'll help you find it.- - Will you?
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Popi, I'm the best insect finder - on this mountain.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- I think we should go...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- ..that way.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- You don't know which way to go.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- Not really.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- You're supposed to be the best - insect finder on this mountain.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- You're right, - but I do forget things sometimes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- It'll be dark soon.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- If it's dark, - we can't see where we're going.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- If we can't see where we're going...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- I have to go - Mami's calling.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- It's getting dark. - Should we be heading home, too?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- I want to find my cricket.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- You see, even though it doesn't - sing, I still like him.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- It's too dark to find it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- I know how we can get light.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Fireflies.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Great idea, Popi. Once again!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Hooray!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Wait.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- I can hear something. - It's coming from over there.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- It can sing, after all.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Thank you, Sioni.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Why are you thanking me?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Had you not swapped your old bone...
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- ..we would never have heard - such a magnificent concert.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- The best part - is sharing it with you.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- It's far better - than sharing your bone!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Everyone enjoyed their magical night - on cricket meadow.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- When the concert ended...
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- ..Popi and her friends flew back - to the garden in their balloon.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- They said goodbye and promised - to go on another adventure soon.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- The End.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- I love story time, Popi.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Almost as much as I love you.
0:10:58 > 0:10:58- .
