'The sun's peeping over the treetops of the Jingly Jangly Jungle.

'It's the beginning of a new day.

'All the animals are keen to wash away the sleep

'and look their best before they go out to play in the jungle.

'That's all the animals. Aren't you forgetting something, Raa Raa?'

Oh, yes. I have to do my morning things.

'That's right. First you wash.'

And then I dry. Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Then I brush my teeth.

'Yes. Raa Raa does the same things every morning.

'Always finishing with a good old scratch on his post.'

I love sharpening my claws.

Oh, no! My scratching post!

'You must've worn it out, Raa Raa.

'What are you going to do now?'

Mmmm. I'll use something else to sharpen my claws!

That's not working.

HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAK

'I don't think so. Do you?'

-Morning, Raa Raa.

-Oh! Hello, Topsy. Hello, Zebby.

I brought this to show you.

-Oh, thanks!

-Raa Raa, stop!

I brought this book to show you.

It's my Big Book of Hammocks.

Hammocks. See?

Sorry. I was trying to sharpen my claws.

My scratching post has broken.

Well, why don't you find a new scratching post

instead of scratching other people's books?

-What a great idea!

-Raa Raa, wait!

Please may I borrow your hammock?

I want to spend today lying in a hammock

and Zebby is going to help me put it up.

I'll get it right away.

Here it is!

Happy hammocking!

-BOTH:

-Thanks, Raa Raa.

-'Bye!

'Um, are you going to have breakfast now, Raa Raa?'

Oh, no. I only have breakfast after I've sharpened my claws.

'So, it's time to get the new scratching post?'

Yes, it is. To the cubby buggy!

Let's jungly jump to it!

Eee! Ah! Ooo! Ah! Nnn!

Can't scratch the itch!

Oh! Eurgh! Ooo!

Ooo! Ah!

HONK-HONK-HONK!

Morning, Raa Raa. Just a moment.

Ooo Ooo, hooray!

Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo!

Hello, Ooo Ooo.

I need a new scratching post. Do you know where I can find one?

-I might do.

-Where?

I'll tell you if you scratch my back itch.

OK, then.

Nearly. Up a bit. Up a bit.

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo!

Aw, thanks, Raa Raa!

OK. There are some big sticks over that way, near Topsy's house.

Thanks, Ooo Ooo!

Oh. That's not how to put a hammock up.

It says, "Tie the strings together".

Together? Oh, dear!

Oh, Raa Raa! Can you help us?

Sorry. I've got to find my new scratching post.

Oh! This is too hard, even for a clever giraffe.

I think we need Crocky and Ooo Ooo to help us.

'There are lots of sticks and logs here, Raa Raa.

'You'll find a new scratching post in no time.'

-'What about that one?'

-Too thin.

'Is that one any good, Raa Raa?'

Nope. Too short.

Ha-ha! Look at that! It's just right!

'It's very big. How are you going to get it home?'

I can move it, so I can use it.

I can move it on my own.

HE STRAINS

'The problem with doing something so big on your own, Raa Raa,

'is it can really tire you out.'

Whoo! I can't move it, so I can't use it.

I can't move it on my own.

'Yes. It's too heavy, isn't it?

'What are you going to do now?'

Ummmmm... I'm going to get some help!

You're putting the hammock up wrong, Crocky.

It looks upside down.

Just... need... to...

..tie... this... bit.

Ooo! Oof! Ooo!

Boo!

Ha-ha! Looks like you're having fun.

We can't put the hammock up.

I can do it, so you can use it.

I can do it on my own.

Ta-da!

Thank you, Raa Raa!

I need some help, too. I've found a big scratching post over there,

but it's too heavy to move.

I can't do it, so I can't use it.

I can't do it on my own.

We'll help you, Raa Raa.

Yes. Because you helped us with Topsy's hammock.

Um, I'll stay here and read my book, if you don't mind.

ALL: OK, then. 'Bye!

-Ooo Ooo!

-Good luck!

Everybody ready?

We can move it...

-ALL:

-So he can use it!

-ALL:

-We can move it.

-ALL:

-Phew!

I thought Ooo Ooo was going to help, too.

H-Hey! Here I am!

Ooo! Wh-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa!

Ooo Ooo, stop! Stop rolling!

CRASH!

Ha-ha! I'm OK.

Ooo Ooo's given me an idea!

We can roll the log. Roll it to my house.

Rolling would be much easier.

-ALL:

-All together, we can roll it so he can use it.

-ALL:

-We can roll it all together.

-ALL:

-We can roll it so he can use it.

-ALL:

-We can roll it all together.

Whoo! It's easier to do big things when you've got lots of help.

-Thanks, everyone!

-We're happy to help, Raa Raa.

Um, where's the scratching post?

Follow that scratching post!

-Look out, Topsy!

-Huh? Huh? What?

Yeow! Oof!

It's OK. The scratching post is fine.

-ALL:

-Phew!

-Never mind your scratching post.

What about me and my hammock?

Thank you, Raa Raa. Hm!

'Oh, poor Topsy.

'It looks like she'll never get to lie in your hammock.'

I've got an idea!

But we'll all need to help out.

'Ah! That's clever, Raa Raa.

'Tying the hammock to your scratching post.

'So, Raa Raa, you've washed, you've brushed your teeth

'and you've sharpened your claws. What's next?'

It's now time for breakfast. Raar!

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!

Can someone help me, please?
