0:00:09 > 0:00:13# There's no need to whistle And there's no need to shout
0:00:13 > 0:00:17# Hey, hey, hey, hey Help is on its way

0:00:34 > 0:00:37One shiny bright morning in the outback,
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Ned the little wombat woke to find something in the air.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44< WHISTLING
0:00:44 > 0:00:46It was the sound of whistling.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52Everyone was whistling for one reason or another.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56George was whistling because he was happy...
0:00:56 > 0:00:57HE WHISTLES
0:00:57 > 0:01:00..Frank, to get Buster's attention,
0:01:00 > 0:01:05and Buster, because something looked good.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08HE WHISTLES
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Ned really wished he could whistle too, but he couldn't -
0:01:11 > 0:01:14no matter how hard he tried.
0:01:16 > 0:01:22- Best be off. See you later, Frank, Buster.- Bye, George!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28HE BLOWS
0:01:28 > 0:01:33- Hello, Ned. What are you up to? - I'm trying to whistle, but I can't.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Don't worry, Ned. I'll teach you!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Now, you get two fingers, like so...
0:01:41 > 0:01:44and pop them in your mouth and blow!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47LOUD WHISTLE Argh!
0:01:47 > 0:01:52- That's terrific, Frank.- Did somebody whistle? What's going on?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Frank's teaching Ned.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Can't you whistle, Ned?
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- No. That's why I need lessons. I'll have a go now, Frank.- Right-o.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Pfffrrr.- Is that it?!
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- What?- Maybe I'm using the wrong fingers.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Yeah, you should be using Frank's!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I really thought I'd be a good teacher.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Don't worry, Ned. I'll show you how to whistle.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25The trick is to have something fabulous to whistle at...like this.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27HE WHISTLES
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Great cake, eh?- You have a go, Ned.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Pfffrrrt.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I reckon it was better with fingers.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Maybe we should give you something else to whistle at. Try this.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Hee-ooo...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- How about this, then? - Yeah, that's really yummy!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Woo-ee-wooo.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Ned, it's ice cream!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Oh, it's not working.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01There's got to be something we can do. I heard George whistling.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Maybe he can teach you. - Yes, George is a good whistler.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Right. Let's go and find him.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10George will be able to do it.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16So Frank and Ned set off in search of George.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Look, Ned! There he is!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Luckily, he wasn't too far behind.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Hello!- G'day!
0:03:30 > 0:03:36The way to whistle is to relax like I do when I'm wandering along.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40The tunes come by themselves. Here, I'll show you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45HE WHISTLES A MERRY TUNE
0:03:45 > 0:03:47See?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Oh, George, that was simply thrilling!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Thank you, Lolly.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Do you reckon he can do it?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Now you try.- OK.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Fingers crossed.- Go for it, Ned.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Hoo-hoo-hoo...
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Ouch!
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Are you all right? I'm coming!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21So how did it go? Can you whistle now?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Ned tried his very best. He really did, but...
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I still can't whistle.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- I'm sorry, Ned.- Yeah, and I bumped into a tree.- Tree?!
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Tree - leaves - that gives me an idea!
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Come on, Ned. I'll have you whistling in no time.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46What you do is grab the gum leaf with both hands and pull it really tight.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Then you blow across it - not too hard, not too soft.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54WHISTLING SOUND
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Now, do exactly as I did - no more, no less.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Yes, Mitsy.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Atchoo!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I didn't sneeze, Ned!
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- It was an accident.- Well, try again.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Atchoo!- Ned!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Nah, he's never going to learn to whistle.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19It was then Frank and Buster realised
0:05:19 > 0:05:24it was going to take more to make Ned whistle than they first thought.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Don't worry. Whistling isn't everything.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- There are lots of things you can do besides whistling.- Like what?- Um...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38There's... ..Frank?
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- Yodelling.- Yodelling?! But I really want to whistle.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49But you might be good at yodelling. Yodel-ay-hee-hee! Have a go, Ned!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Yodel-ay... - HE COUGHS
0:05:55 > 0:06:01I'd bet you'd be good at coo-eeing, Ned. Everyone can coo-ee.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I don't much feel like coo-eeing.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06But it's fun! Look!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Coo-ee!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Coo-ee!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Why not give it a whirl? - Yeah, try, Ned.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Coo-oo-oo...
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Everyone can coo-ee! - I want to be able to whistle.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Sorry, Ned.- Yeah, sorry, Ned.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Ned decided to make himself a nice cup of tea to cheer himself up.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34KETTLE WHISTLES
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Even the kettle could whistle! So Ned went off to bed
0:06:38 > 0:06:41to sleep away his troubles.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44THEY WHISTLE
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- I wish we could help Ned to whistle like we can.- Too right, Buster.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54- Hey, what do you reckon that is? - I reckon we should take a look.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55WHISTLING
0:06:55 > 0:07:00He's whistling, Frank! He's whistling in his sleep!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Ssh!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07So Ned can whistle after all - just doesn't know it!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- If only we can get him to do it when he's awake.- Good thinking.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I reckon I know how.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Later that day, with a clever plan in mind,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Frank invited some friends around for some afternoon tea.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25He especially wanted Ned to be there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Ah...lovely!
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Now we all have our tea, how about a party game?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Yeah! Oh, I love party games!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Yeah, let's play - as long as I can keep eating my lovely cake.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- Of course you can. How about you, Ned? Will you play?- Well...
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Go on, Ned.- I guess.- Great! Now let me explain the game.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Each person takes it in turn to make a noise.- Ooh!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I choose what noise. Buster, you go first.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02I'd like you to make a hiccupping noise.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I can do that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Hic!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Hic!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Hic! Oh!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Good one, Buster!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You next, Mitsy.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Ready!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I'd like you to do a raspberry.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25A raspberry?! I love blowing raspberries!
0:08:25 > 0:08:32Pffffrrrrrrrrtttttttttt!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Huh! Luckily I swallowed my cake first.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Now, Ned, I wonder if you can make a snoring noise.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Yes, Frank, that's easy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But I can only do it if I close my eyes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49HE SNORES AND WHISTLES
0:08:53 > 0:08:56ALL: Ned, you can whistle!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So I can!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Oh... Am I late? I hope I haven't missed anything.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06George, I can whistle! I could do it all along!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I just didn't know! Listen!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12HE SNORES AND WHISTLES
0:09:12 > 0:09:15That's mighty good news, Ned.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Congratulations.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah, congratulations, Ned. - Well done, Ned.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Now he just has to learn to do it with his eyes open!
0:09:24 > 0:09:28And so with the Koala brothers' help,
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Ned learned there had been a whistle inside him all the time!
