You see, Tickbird didn't always sit on Hippo's back. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
LAUGHS | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Look at us. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
Two fine birds. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
And such beautiful, calm water. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
Oh, my favourite time of day. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
You'd never, ever see Tickbird near hippo. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
If she could help it. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
A nice, quiet morning drink. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
RUMBLING | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Oh hoo! | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
Woo hoo! | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Hippo! Not again! | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
In fact, there was a time | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
when Tickbird and Hippo weren't friends at all. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
Woo hoo! | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Hippo! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
Ho ho ho! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Hippo, it's not funny. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
It's not funny! | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
A tick. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Mmm... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
Tasty! | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Tick...tick. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
LAUGHS | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
Get off! I have ticklish skin! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
I don't like being stood on. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Stop splashing, it's not funny. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
-It's not funny, I tell you. -Get off, get off! | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
I'm ticklish! Arh-ha-ha! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
Don't like it, huh? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Peace and quiet at last. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
Maybe now we can have a drink before Hippo starts splashing about again. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
Ah! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
It would be nice if we could ALL have our breakfast in peace. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
So snappy! | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
I think we're safe. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Woo hoo! | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
Oh! | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
That's enough! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Let's find somewhere else to drink. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
HIPPO LAUGHS | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Oh... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
A water hole that stretches as far as I can see. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
At last, a peaceful drink. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
THEY COUGH AND SPLUTTER | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Salty water! Yuck! | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Well, why do you expect from the sea? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Tortoise? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
This is the sea? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Oh, yes. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
I like to come and warm my shell on the sand. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Just as the sea is going out. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
Going out? Where to? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
Who knows? But out it goes and in it comes again. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
Twice every day. You see, before, the sea came all the way up to here. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:07 | |
And now look how far away it is! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Ha ha! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
It's so clever! | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
They call it a tide, you know. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
That's all very well, | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
but I don't like the taste of the salty sea for my breakfast. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
What's wrong with the water at the water hole? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Hippo is in it. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
She ruffled our feathers this morning. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
All that splashing and sploshing and splishing. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
I know, I know. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
It's about time some beast told Hippo to stop. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
That's it! | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
And I'm going to tell her. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Oh! | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
It's high time some little beast taught that big beast a lesson. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
-Come on! -Tickbird? What are you doing? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
Woo hoo! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
Hippo? Hippo! Please Hippo, stop. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Hippo! | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Hippo won't listen. You'll just get sploshed again. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
Hippo! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
Stop sploshing and splashing every beast. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
It's not funny. Not funny at all. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
EVERYONE GASPS | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
Quite right. Well said, little bird. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Ha ha ha! | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Sploshing is not funny. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Get off! I have ticklish skin. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
I don't like being stood on. Ha ha! | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
You don't like me standing on you? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Eh? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
No, I don't. Not at all. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
Get off! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
Please! | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
Ha ha! | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
Then I challenge you to a contest. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Ha ha! A contest? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
Ha ha ha! You? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Challenge me? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Ha ha ha ha ha! | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Yes. And if you win, then you can splash all you like. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
Ha! Is that it? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
No. If I win, I can stand on you forever. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
If you win? Not a chance. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
What is this challenge, Tickbird? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
The challenge is... | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
who can drink the most water in a single gulp. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
HIPPO LAUGHS | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
You'll never drink more than me! | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Woo hoo! | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
Ha ha ha! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
Do you accept the challenge? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Of course I accept. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
Because I will win. No doubt about it. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
You have all heard. Hippo has accepted the challenge. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:35 | |
You, Tickbird, must choose the time and place. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
We will go to the sea. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
And the time? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
Tomorrow, breakfast time. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Attention all. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
ALL: Hmm? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
The challenge is set. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:50 | |
Tomorrow, breakfast time. At the sea. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Ha ha ha! | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Mmm hmm... | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
So what are you thinking, Tickbird? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
If you have a plan I would like to know. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
I do have a plan. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
But it's a secret. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:04 | |
We won't tell anybody. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
What are friends for? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Well, I chose the sea because of what Tortoise said. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Ah, clever Tickbird. The tides. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
Uh huh. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
The tides? | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
The water going up and down, twice a day. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Huh? Sorry, still don't get you. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Big head, see? Tiny brain. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
RATTLING | 0:07:27 | 0:07:28 | |
Don't worry, Elephant. I don't understand it either. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
HIPPO: Woo hoo! | 0:07:32 | 0:07:33 | |
Shh! You have to wait and see. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
HIPPO: See you at breakfast! | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Woo hoo! | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
MONKEYS GIGGLE | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
This is a contest to see who can drink the most water in one gulp. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
Not much of a contest if you ask me. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
I didn't ask you, Hippo. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Now... | 0:07:57 | 0:07:58 | |
you will drink first. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
If Tickbird wins... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
HIPPO LAUGHS | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
Ahem... Tickbird will be allowed to stand on Hippo's back, forever. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
Hmmm. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
But if Hippo wins, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
Hippo can splosh and jump as much as she likes. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
Is it understood? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
-It is. -It is. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Hippo, it is time for you to take your drink. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
Ooh, the challenge! | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
TORTOISE: Oh, Elephant, watch this! Watch this! | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
Ha ha ha! | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Ah! | 0:08:32 | 0:08:33 | |
THEY GASPS | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Ha ha ha! | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
Beat that, little bird! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Hmm... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
Right. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
Come on, Tickbird. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Yeah, Tickbird. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Not yet. Not yet. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Hmm? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Hmmm...now! | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
Come on, Tickbird! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
THEY GASP | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
What? It can't be! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
Hippo drank the water from this line, to this line. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
And Tickbird drank the water from this line, | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
all the way... | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
to this line. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
Well done, Tickbird. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Ha ha! | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
The difference is clear. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
I declare Tickbird the winner. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
Well done, Tickbird. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
Tickbird can now stand on you any time she likes. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
Oh... | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
Ooh hoo! | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
It's not fair. It must be a trick. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Shh, Hippo. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
You must honour the challenge. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Oh, yes. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
And do you know, from the day of the great water challenge, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
every animal was happy. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
Because Hippo didn't splish and splosh all day. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
Tickbird was happy... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
because she had all the food she could eat. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
Yummy, yummy ticks! Mmmm! | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
And Hippo was happy... | 0:10:21 | 0:10:22 | |
because Tickbird ate all the tickly ticks. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:28 | |
Ah! | 0:10:28 | 0:10:29 | |
And that's why Tickbird sits on Hippo's back. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
I still don't get it. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
Tickbird didn't really drink half the sea. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
It was the tide going out. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
But going where? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Never mind, Elephant. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
Tickbird won, and that's all we need to know. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
MONKEY: Every animal was happy... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Out of my way! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-Yah! -Oh! | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
..Except Crocodile. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
But that's a whole other story. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
