0:00:54 > 0:00:55Look at all my friends!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'll tell you why.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09See, there was a time when Elephant had no nose.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Oh, come on. Oh!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Phrr! Leave me alone.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16He was big.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And he was clumsy.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Whoa!
0:01:21 > 0:01:22- Doh!- Elephant!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Sorry, Tortoise.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And he was very, very smelly.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30# Good morning, good morning

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Pooh! Jambo, Elephant.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Jambo, Lion. Jambo, everyone!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49ALL: Jambo, Elephant.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Oh, that's Elephant, isn't it?
0:01:52 > 0:01:53How did you guess?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Something in the air, maybe?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Jambo, Monkeys.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Do you know how to make flies go away?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Tell them to, "Buzz off!"
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Buzz off.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Buzz off!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Doesn't work.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10It was a joke, Elephant!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Oh...sorry.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Big head, see. Tiny brain.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17RATTLING
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Why don't you try having a good, old w...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Walk in the bush. That should get rid of the flies.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Thank you. Asante, Monkeys. I will.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29THEY GIGGLE
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Oh, Monkey. You should have told Elephant.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Have you seen the size of him?!
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Elephant doesn't know how much he smells because he's got no nose.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43So how does Elephant smell?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Terrible!
0:02:44 > 0:02:45THEY LAUGH
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Grumpy this morning, Crocodile?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Grr!- No surprise, there, then.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Not grumpy, Your Highness. Snappy.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- All day long. Snap, snap, snap... - Ahem.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Some beast really ought to tell Elephant that he smells.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Very pongy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Tortoise?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Me?! It would take me ages to catch up with him.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12You are his oldest friend.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Very well, then. I'll tell Elephant straightaway.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Straightaway now or straightaway next year?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Monkeys!
0:03:21 > 0:03:22THEY GIGGLE
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Buzz off! Buzz off!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30This one's called nectar.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Whoa, rainbow, sweet!
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Leaf! Flower! Ha-ha! Leaf, flower!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Whoa, mmm, fly food!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Yummy!
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Jambo, Chameleon.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- How are you?- These flies are tasty!
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Do you mind if I...?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Help yourself. Hey, you'd be doing me a favour.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Phew. That's it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I've got flies up to here.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Is that all you can eat? These flies are driving me crazy!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Flies like stinky things, my friend.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I'm sorry?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Here's the thing. You, Elephant, have a slight problem, in the...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- The whiffy department.- I'm sorry?
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- You know, whiffy!- Sorry, Chameleon, still don't get you!
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Big head, see. Tiny brain.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28RATTLING
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- Smelly!- Ooh, good or bad?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You're talking...pretty bad!
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- Oh.- Now, now, don't get all upset. It's nothing a good scrub won't fix.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I can't scrub. I can't reach behind my ears.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I can't reach my back.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I can't even reach my belly.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53GROANS
0:04:53 > 0:04:55OK, big fella, OK.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Ah! Why don't you just change, like me.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03And you, too, could be as fresh as a daisy.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Come on, have a go.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07PAINFUL GROANING
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Excuse me.- Well, if you can't change, then I'm all out of ideas.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Thank you for being so honest, Chameleon.- Sorry, Elephant.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Nice flies, though.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24SNIFFING
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Pooh!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh! Phrr!
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Whoa!
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Not again!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Sorry, Tortoise.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- I thought you was...- I know, I know you thought I was a rock.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Big head, see.- Tiny brain. I know.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46RATTLING AND LAUGHTER
0:05:46 > 0:05:49We do go back a very, very long time, don't we, Tortoise?
0:05:49 > 0:05:54So why didn't you ever tell me that I smell?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Have you ever thought of taking a bath?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Oh! No, that's brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Big head, see. Tiny brain!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06THEY LAUGH
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Guess who's coming?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Jambo, everyone!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Jambo, Elephant. - Pooh, Jambo, Elephant.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Couldn't shake those flies off, then?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21No. Chameleon says it's because I smell.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And Tortoise suggested I should have a bath.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, could I wash in your waterhole, please?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Of course, Elephant. Come on in, the water's lovely!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Oh, thanks.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Oh!- Don't even think of coming in my waterhole!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I think you'll find, it's our...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Crocodile! All right, all right.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47SNAPS ANGRILY
0:06:50 > 0:06:51ELEPHANT SIGHS
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Come, come. - But I don't want to smell.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02Crocodile will swim off down river. You can have a bath tomorrow.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Try and get some sleep.- Hmm!
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Watch out for Crocodile, though. He's so snappy-snappy.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14OWL CALLS
0:07:17 > 0:07:19ELEPHANT SNORTS
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I can't even blow my nose!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Jambo, Elephant.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Owl, is that you?- Of course it's me.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Who else would be up at this time of the night?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35What's the matter?
0:07:35 > 0:07:40The monkeys laugh at me all the time and Chameleon says I smell.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Tortoise thinks I should have a bath but Crocodile won't let me!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46HE CRIES
0:07:46 > 0:07:47No, no, no, no, no.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53I know it seems bad, Elephant, but sometimes good things come from bad.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What do you mean, Owl?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Trust me.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02HE SNORES
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Hmmm.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Snap!- Huh! My nose!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23ELEPHANT SHOUTS
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Help, I've been snapped!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- That's Elephant.- We're coming.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29It's Elephant!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Crocodile! Stop it! Stop it right now!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Stop talking, start pulling.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Crocodile!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Come on.- Ooh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Heave!
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Pull!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Heave!
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Pull!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Don't worry, Elephant, I'm coming!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Hurry up, Tortoise!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12I'm here, Elephant!
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Heave!
0:09:20 > 0:09:21CRASH!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Look at my nose!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30It's all long and wiggly.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33THEY ALL LAUGH
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Mmm!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40A useful wiggly nose!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Gotcha! Ha ha!
0:09:45 > 0:09:49A very useful wiggly nose, indeed.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Mmm, I wonder.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Look, I'm clean!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04No more smell!
0:10:04 > 0:10:05THEY ALL SNIFF
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Aaah!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I'm clean! I'm clean!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14And I bet you can blow your new nose, too!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18TRUMPETS
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I can, I can blow my nose!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25TRUMPETS
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Now, Elephant, what will you call your new nose?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Er, a trunk. I think I will call it a trunk.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40THEY ALL LAUGH
0:10:41 > 0:10:44And that's why Elephant has a trunk.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50You see, sometimes good things do come from bad.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51And Owl was right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54But how did Owl become so wise?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Well, that's a whole other story.
