0:00:510:00:54

Look at all my friends!

0:00:540:00:55

I'll tell you why.

0:00:570:00:59

See, there was a time when Elephant had no nose.

0:01:050:01:09

Oh, come on. Oh!

0:01:090:01:11

Phrr! Leave me alone.

0:01:110:01:14

He was big.

0:01:140:01:16

And he was clumsy.

0:01:160:01:19

Whoa!

0:01:190:01:21

-Doh!

-Elephant!

0:01:210:01:22

Sorry, Tortoise.

0:01:220:01:24

And he was very, very smelly.

0:01:240:01:27

# Good morning, good morning

0:01:270:01:30

# Up early, up early

0:01:310:01:32

# Up early!

0:01:320:01:34

# Another brand new day

0:01:350:01:37

# Another brand new day... #

0:01:390:01:41

Pooh! Jambo, Elephant.

0:01:410:01:43

Jambo, Lion. Jambo, everyone!

0:01:430:01:47

ALL: Jambo, Elephant.

0:01:470:01:49

Oh, that's Elephant, isn't it?

0:01:490:01:52

How did you guess?

0:01:520:01:53

Something in the air, maybe?

0:01:530:01:56

Jambo, Monkeys.

0:01:560:01:57

Do you know how to make flies go away?

0:01:570:02:01

Tell them to, "Buzz off!"

0:02:010:02:04

Buzz off.

0:02:040:02:05

Buzz off!

0:02:050:02:06

Doesn't work.

0:02:060:02:08

It was a joke, Elephant!

0:02:080:02:10

Oh...sorry.

0:02:100:02:12

Big head, see. Tiny brain.

0:02:120:02:15

RATTLING

0:02:150:02:17

Why don't you try having a good, old w...

0:02:170:02:21

Walk in the bush. That should get rid of the flies.

0:02:210:02:24

Thank you. Asante, Monkeys. I will.

0:02:240:02:27

THEY GIGGLE

0:02:270:02:29

Oh, Monkey. You should have told Elephant.

0:02:290:02:33

Have you seen the size of him?!

0:02:330:02:35

Elephant doesn't know how much he smells because he's got no nose.

0:02:350:02:40

So how does Elephant smell?

0:02:400:02:43

Terrible!

0:02:430:02:44

THEY LAUGH

0:02:440:02:45

Grumpy this morning, Crocodile?

0:02:450:02:49

-Grr!

-No surprise, there, then.

0:02:490:02:51

Not grumpy, Your Highness. Snappy.

0:02:510:02:54

-All day long. Snap, snap, snap...

-Ahem.

0:02:540:02:57

Some beast really ought to tell Elephant that he smells.

0:02:570:03:02

Very pongy.

0:03:020:03:03

Tortoise?

0:03:040:03:06

Me?! It would take me ages to catch up with him.

0:03:060:03:09

You are his oldest friend.

0:03:090:03:12

Very well, then. I'll tell Elephant straightaway.

0:03:120:03:16

Straightaway now or straightaway next year?

0:03:160:03:20

Monkeys!

0:03:200:03:21

THEY GIGGLE

0:03:210:03:22

Buzz off! Buzz off!

0:03:250:03:28

This one's called nectar.

0:03:280:03:30

Whoa, rainbow, sweet!

0:03:300:03:34

Leaf! Flower! Ha-ha! Leaf, flower!

0:03:340:03:39

Whoa, mmm, fly food!

0:03:390:03:42

Yummy!

0:03:420:03:44

Jambo, Chameleon.

0:03:440:03:45

-How are you?

-These flies are tasty!

0:03:450:03:48

Do you mind if I...?

0:03:500:03:51

Help yourself. Hey, you'd be doing me a favour.

0:03:510:03:55

Phew. That's it.

0:03:590:04:01

I've got flies up to here.

0:04:010:04:03

Is that all you can eat? These flies are driving me crazy!

0:04:030:04:08

Flies like stinky things, my friend.

0:04:080:04:10

I'm sorry?

0:04:100:04:12

Here's the thing. You, Elephant, have a slight problem, in the...

0:04:120:04:17

-The whiffy department.

-I'm sorry?

0:04:170:04:20

-You know, whiffy!

-Sorry, Chameleon, still don't get you!

0:04:200:04:25

Big head, see. Tiny brain.

0:04:250:04:27

RATTLING

0:04:270:04:28

-Smelly!

-Ooh, good or bad?

0:04:280:04:33

You're talking...pretty bad!

0:04:330:04:36

-Oh.

-Now, now, don't get all upset. It's nothing a good scrub won't fix.

0:04:360:04:41

I can't scrub. I can't reach behind my ears.

0:04:410:04:45

I can't reach my back.

0:04:460:04:48

I can't even reach my belly.

0:04:500:04:52

GROANS

0:04:520:04:53

OK, big fella, OK.

0:04:530:04:55

Ah! Why don't you just change, like me.

0:04:550:04:59

And you, too, could be as fresh as a daisy.

0:04:590:05:03

Come on, have a go.

0:05:030:05:05

PAINFUL GROANING

0:05:050:05:07

-Excuse me.

-Well, if you can't change, then I'm all out of ideas.

0:05:100:05:14

-Thank you for being so honest, Chameleon.

-Sorry, Elephant.

0:05:140:05:19

Nice flies, though.

0:05:190:05:20

SNIFFING

0:05:230:05:24

Pooh!

0:05:240:05:25

Oh! Phrr!

0:05:270:05:29

Whoa!

0:05:310:05:32

Not again!

0:05:340:05:35

Sorry, Tortoise.

0:05:350:05:36

-I thought you was...

-I know, I know you thought I was a rock.

0:05:360:05:40

-Big head, see.

-Tiny brain. I know.

0:05:400:05:44

RATTLING AND LAUGHTER

0:05:440:05:46

We do go back a very, very long time, don't we, Tortoise?

0:05:460:05:49

So why didn't you ever tell me that I smell?

0:05:490:05:54

Have you ever thought of taking a bath?

0:05:540:05:57

Oh! No, that's brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?

0:05:570:06:01

Big head, see. Tiny brain!

0:06:010:06:04

THEY LAUGH

0:06:040:06:06

Guess who's coming?

0:06:070:06:09

Jambo, everyone!

0:06:090:06:11

-Jambo, Elephant.

-Pooh, Jambo, Elephant.

0:06:110:06:14

Couldn't shake those flies off, then?

0:06:140:06:18

No. Chameleon says it's because I smell.

0:06:180:06:21

And Tortoise suggested I should have a bath.

0:06:210:06:24

So, could I wash in your waterhole, please?

0:06:240:06:27

Of course, Elephant. Come on in, the water's lovely!

0:06:270:06:32

Oh, thanks.

0:06:320:06:35

-Oh!

-Don't even think of coming in my waterhole!

0:06:350:06:39

I think you'll find, it's our...

0:06:390:06:43

Crocodile! All right, all right.

0:06:430:06:46

SNAPS ANGRILY

0:06:460:06:47

ELEPHANT SIGHS

0:06:500:06:51

-Come, come.

-But I don't want to smell.

0:06:530:06:56

Crocodile will swim off down river. You can have a bath tomorrow.

0:06:560:07:02

-Try and get some sleep.

-Hmm!

0:07:020:07:05

Watch out for Crocodile, though. He's so snappy-snappy.

0:07:050:07:09

OWL CALLS

0:07:130:07:14

ELEPHANT SNORTS

0:07:170:07:19

I can't even blow my nose!

0:07:210:07:24

Jambo, Elephant.

0:07:240:07:26

-Owl, is that you?

-Of course it's me.

0:07:260:07:30

Who else would be up at this time of the night?

0:07:300:07:33

What's the matter?

0:07:330:07:35

The monkeys laugh at me all the time and Chameleon says I smell.

0:07:350:07:40

Tortoise thinks I should have a bath but Crocodile won't let me!

0:07:400:07:44

HE CRIES

0:07:440:07:46

No, no, no, no, no.

0:07:460:07:47

I know it seems bad, Elephant, but sometimes good things come from bad.

0:07:470:07:53

What do you mean, Owl?

0:07:530:07:55

Trust me.

0:07:550:07:57

HE SNORES

0:08:000:08:02

Hmmm.

0:08:090:08:10

-Snap!

-Huh! My nose!

0:08:180:08:20

ELEPHANT SHOUTS

0:08:200:08:23

Help, I've been snapped!

0:08:230:08:25

-That's Elephant.

-We're coming.

0:08:250:08:28

It's Elephant!

0:08:280:08:29

Crocodile! Stop it! Stop it right now!

0:08:320:08:35

Stop talking, start pulling.

0:08:350:08:38

Crocodile!

0:08:460:08:48

-Come on.

-Ooh!

0:08:480:08:51

Heave!

0:08:510:08:53

Pull!

0:08:540:08:55

Heave!

0:08:550:08:57

Pull!

0:08:580:08:59

Don't worry, Elephant, I'm coming!

0:09:060:09:09

Hurry up, Tortoise!

0:09:090:09:11

I'm here, Elephant!

0:09:110:09:12

Heave!

0:09:140:09:15

CRASH!

0:09:200:09:21

Look at my nose!

0:09:250:09:27

It's all long and wiggly.

0:09:270:09:30

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:09:310:09:33

Mmm!

0:09:350:09:36

A useful wiggly nose!

0:09:380:09:40

Gotcha! Ha ha!

0:09:430:09:45

A very useful wiggly nose, indeed.

0:09:450:09:49

Mmm, I wonder.

0:09:490:09:52

Look, I'm clean!

0:10:000:10:02

No more smell!

0:10:020:10:04

THEY ALL SNIFF

0:10:040:10:05

Aaah!

0:10:050:10:07

I'm clean! I'm clean!

0:10:070:10:10

And I bet you can blow your new nose, too!

0:10:100:10:14

TRUMPETS

0:10:160:10:18

I can, I can blow my nose!

0:10:200:10:22

TRUMPETS

0:10:220:10:25

Now, Elephant, what will you call your new nose?

0:10:270:10:32

Er, a trunk. I think I will call it a trunk.

0:10:320:10:37

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:10:370:10:40

And that's why Elephant has a trunk.

0:10:410:10:44

You see, sometimes good things do come from bad.

0:10:450:10:50

And Owl was right.

0:10:500:10:51

But how did Owl become so wise?

0:10:510:10:54

Well, that's a whole other story.
