0:46:12 > 0:46:15OK, Mum.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Whoops! Almost dropped it.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39Dropped what? What have you got?

0:46:39 > 0:46:43- A banana sandwich. - BOTH: A banana sandwich?!

0:46:43 > 0:46:45Something smells good.

0:46:45 > 0:46:50Isn't it rather late to be eating a sandwich?

0:46:50 > 0:46:55I suppose so, but I was hungry, so I thought I'd have a midnight feast.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58GIGGLES: Mmm! Yum-yum!

0:46:58 > 0:47:01That sandwich really does smell delicious.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04Hi, Boris. Would you like a piece?

0:47:04 > 0:47:08Oh, I couldn't, not unless you insisted.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11Some animals do anything for a snack.

0:47:11 > 0:47:15Boris has already eaten a HUGE dinner today

0:47:15 > 0:47:19and two teas and three suppers. Haven't you, Boris?

0:47:19 > 0:47:24- I'm a growing bear.- All this talk of food reminds me of the story

0:47:24 > 0:47:28- of the juicy fruit tree. - The whaty-what tree?

0:47:28 > 0:47:30The juicy fruit tree.

0:47:30 > 0:47:35Its fruit is the biggest, knobbliest, most delicious...

0:47:35 > 0:47:38Tell Lucy the whole story.

0:47:38 > 0:47:43We might even take Boris's mind off banana sandwiches for a while.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45Good idea.

0:47:51 > 0:47:56Every seven years, the juicy fruit tree bears a juicy fruit.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58It's the biggest, knobbliest,

0:47:58 > 0:48:02most delicious fruit in the whole wide world,

0:48:02 > 0:48:06so when Zed the zebra saw the juicy fruit...

0:48:06 > 0:48:10he couldn't wait to tell all the other animals.

0:48:10 > 0:48:14THEY LAUGH

0:48:17 > 0:48:23- Who's that?! - It's Zed, and he's in a hurry.

0:48:25 > 0:48:30- HE PANTS - The juicy fruit tree is in flower!

0:48:30 > 0:48:34- Huh? What? - Is it that time already?

0:48:34 > 0:48:40- Are you sure?- No doubt about it. I was galloping past when...

0:48:40 > 0:48:46- HUH?!- ..I saw this big, knobbly fruit at the top of the juicy fruit tree.

0:48:46 > 0:48:49- What colour was it?- Bright red.

0:48:49 > 0:48:52ALL: Hooray!

0:48:52 > 0:48:59# It's juicy fruit time Juicy fruit time, juicy fruit time! #

0:48:59 > 0:49:04I'm going to have the largest piece of juicy fruit.

0:49:04 > 0:49:08ALL: Huh?! I have a long neck.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10It's a long way to my tummy.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13Nonsense! Elephants are the biggest,

0:49:13 > 0:49:18so they need the most to eat. Everyone knows that!

0:49:18 > 0:49:23Hold on a minute! I saw it first and ran all the way to tell you all,

0:49:23 > 0:49:26so I deserve the biggest slice.

0:49:26 > 0:49:30There are two of us - me and the Tick-tick bird.

0:49:30 > 0:49:35The Tick-tick bird doesn't count. He only eats...ticks.

0:49:35 > 0:49:41WE deserve the most cos we'll climb the tree to pick the juicy fruit.

0:49:41 > 0:49:45Yes! Fruit pickers come first!

0:49:45 > 0:49:50Er, excuse me. A word of caution -

0:49:50 > 0:49:56the juicy fruit tree produces a juicy fruit every seven years.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58ALL: Yes.

0:49:58 > 0:50:04We must pick it by sunset tomorrow. ALL: Huh?

0:50:04 > 0:50:09Before it drops down and turns into green, gooey slime.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12ALL: Eurgh! Yuk!

0:50:12 > 0:50:18Take it easy, tortoise. We'll pick the fruit tomorrow, nice and early.

0:50:18 > 0:50:23The animals slept soundly that night, dreaming of the juicy fruit.

0:50:23 > 0:50:28They slept so well that by the time they woke up,

0:50:28 > 0:50:32- the sun was high in the sky. - ALL: We're late!

0:50:32 > 0:50:34I knew this would happen.

0:50:34 > 0:50:40Chill out. We've got loads of time. Well, WE have.

0:50:40 > 0:50:44By the time Toby gets there, it'll be too late!

0:50:47 > 0:50:52Toby had short legs and a heavy shell to carry,

0:50:52 > 0:50:56but he hurried after them as fast as he could.

0:51:00 > 0:51:03This won't be easy. The sun's going down

0:51:03 > 0:51:08and we only have a couple of hours before the juicy fruit drops down

0:51:08 > 0:51:13and turns to a green, gooey slime. BOTH: Yuk!

0:51:13 > 0:51:16Don't worry. I can get it. Stand back.

0:51:31 > 0:51:34Hey! Here!

0:51:34 > 0:51:38- Nice try, Ronald.- We'll have to think of something else.

0:51:38 > 0:51:44A job for Giggles and Tickles. Monkeys to the rescue!

0:51:47 > 0:51:51- BOTH: Ouch! - The tree was so slippery,

0:51:51 > 0:51:55- that it was impossible to climb. - Let me try.

0:51:55 > 0:51:59BOTH: We're running out of time.

0:52:03 > 0:52:07ALL: Go, Nelson, go!

0:52:11 > 0:52:13Oops!

0:52:13 > 0:52:17ALL: Aww! Never mind. You almost did it.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20We'll never get the juicy fruit off.

0:52:20 > 0:52:25- Er...- The biggest, knobbliest, most delicious fruit in the world

0:52:25 > 0:52:28and we can't reach it!

0:52:28 > 0:52:30But help was on the way.

0:52:30 > 0:52:35- What this needs is teamwork. - Teamwork?! What's that?

0:52:35 > 0:52:38Working together.

0:52:38 > 0:52:42If we work together, we'll be able to reach.

0:52:42 > 0:52:46- Let's try.- Yeah, man. Teamwork. Let's go for it.

0:52:48 > 0:52:52So the animals built an animal tower.

0:52:58 > 0:53:02- Watch where you're putting your feet!- Sorry. This is fun!

0:53:02 > 0:53:06Remember, we're a team. Can you reach it?

0:53:09 > 0:53:12Er...not quite.

0:53:12 > 0:53:15Audrey looked at the tree and the fruit

0:53:15 > 0:53:19and realised there was only one thing for it.

0:53:19 > 0:53:23She would have to climb up to the top.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29I can't quite!

0:53:29 > 0:53:34- Oh, we're SO close! - But not close enough.

0:53:34 > 0:53:37- Let's stand on tiptoe. - Good idea.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47So the animals tried again.

0:53:47 > 0:53:52If I can just stretch a little bit further...

0:53:55 > 0:54:00- I-I think I'm going to sneeze! - Don't you dare!

0:54:00 > 0:54:03AH-AH-AH-CHOO!

0:54:07 > 0:54:09Sorry.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12And the animals tried again.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14Only a few minutes left.

0:54:17 > 0:54:22And I still can't reach it. What are we going to do?

0:54:23 > 0:54:29Hello, everyone. Sorry I'm late. Need a hand?

0:54:29 > 0:54:34- ALL: Toby! - Toby knew just what to do.

0:54:35 > 0:54:38He climbed up Nelson's trunk,

0:54:38 > 0:54:40over Ronald's horn,

0:54:40 > 0:54:45along Zed's stripes, up Giggles' tail,

0:54:45 > 0:54:49until finally he was sitting on Audrey's head.

0:54:49 > 0:54:54I can reach it! I can reach the juicy...

0:55:00 > 0:55:02Oh, no!

0:55:02 > 0:55:06- Well caught, Toby!- Top tortoise.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08ALL: Yeah!

0:55:11 > 0:55:16This is the best juicy fruit ever.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19ALL: Hooray!

0:55:23 > 0:55:25Brilliant story.

0:55:25 > 0:55:30- I wish there was a juicy fruit tree in my garden.- Me too!

0:55:30 > 0:55:34If we find one, we'll let you know and have a juicy fruit picnic.

0:55:34 > 0:55:39- That would be fun. - But now I think it's time for bed,

0:55:39 > 0:55:41or it'll soon be breakfast time.
