-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. #

-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:01:00

Whoo!

0:01:040:01:05

You see, there was a time when Giraffe had short legs,

0:01:050:01:10

short horns and a very short, stumpy neck.

0:01:100:01:14

(And she was a rather fussy eater.)

0:01:140:01:18

I'm a delicate eater. Lots of food doesn't agree with me, that's all.

0:01:180:01:23

-Mmm!

-But mangoes are yummy, Giraffe.

0:01:230:01:26

Oh, good. I'll have one.

0:01:260:01:29

-SNIFF! SNIFF!

-Well, maybe one. Just to be polite.

0:01:290:01:33

Mmm-mm. They are very tasty.

0:01:330:01:36

They are mango-licious!

0:01:360:01:38

Jambo, everyone.

0:01:380:01:39

ALL: Jambo, Elephant.

0:01:390:01:41

Mmm! Mangoes! May I?

0:01:410:01:43

GRRR-RUMBLE! Monkeys! Really!

0:01:430:01:46

-Not me.

-Not me too.

-Not me three. MONKEY GASPS

0:01:460:01:49

-GRRR-RUMBLE!

-It's me. Oh, so sorry.

0:01:490:01:51

Ugh, must be the mangoes. Oh, dear. Excuse me.

0:01:510:01:56

MONKEYS GIGGLE Sh! Monkeys! Giraffe can't help it.

0:01:560:02:00

She's not feeling well.

0:02:000:02:01

-RUMBLE! SQUELCH!

-Oh, my! Dear me!

0:02:010:02:05

Don't worry, Giraffe. I'll cover for you.

0:02:050:02:08

ELEPHANT TRUMPETS LOUDLY

0:02:080:02:12

-What are you doing, Elephant?

-SQUELCH SQUELCH!

0:02:120:02:16

-Elephant!

-It's not me, Tortoise - honest!

0:02:160:02:19

(It's Giraffe. She's got a bit of...tummy trouble.)

0:02:190:02:24

-RUMBLE! GRR! SQUELCH!

-Ah! So sorry. Too many mangoes.

0:02:240:02:28

Why don't you try eating something else?

0:02:280:02:31

Um... Lettuce?

0:02:310:02:33

-Same problem as mangoes.

-What's the problem?

0:02:330:02:36

Giraffe's tummy.

0:02:360:02:37

She's got a bit of... A-hem!

0:02:370:02:40

You know.

0:02:400:02:41

She's got a runny tummy.

0:02:410:02:42

Oh! Eat some grass. It does wonders for an upset stomach.

0:02:420:02:47

-SQUELCH! RUMBLE!

-Uh...

-Giraffe?

-Your Majesty!

0:02:470:02:50

So terribly sorry. I've got a spot of tummy trouble a...

0:02:500:02:54

Honey - that's what you need.

0:02:540:02:57

Go straight to the bees and ask them for some honey.

0:02:570:03:00

It does wonders for an upset stomach.

0:03:000:03:03

-GRRR-RUMBLE!

-Thank you, everyone. Asante.

0:03:030:03:06

Honey. Right, I'll go and get some honey.

0:03:060:03:09

-You've all been very kind. Thank you. Ugh.

-Poor Giraffe.

0:03:090:03:13

Happens to the best of us.

0:03:130:03:15

-Ah... Honey. Oooh! Honey.

-GURGLE! SQUELCH!

0:03:150:03:19

Hi, Giraffe! Jambo!

0:03:190:03:22

Check out the stripes! Whoo!

0:03:220:03:25

Buzz-buzz-buzz! Ha-ha!

0:03:250:03:27

-Yes, uh, very good, Chameleon.

-Hey! Why the sad face?

0:03:270:03:32

I've got a touch of...tummy trouble.

0:03:320:03:34

Lion thought a bit of honey might make it go away.

0:03:340:03:37

Sweet! Better ask nicely. Those bees don't give away honey for free.

0:03:370:03:42

-# Who wants honey? #

-I'm afraid I do.

0:03:420:03:46

# Why? #

0:03:460:03:47

Well, I'm having a bit of bother with my tummy

0:03:470:03:50

and Lion says your honey works wonders.

0:03:500:03:52

# It does! It does!

0:03:520:03:54

# Help yourself It's in there

0:03:540:03:56

# Hope you feel better Hope you feel better. #

0:03:560:04:00

Asante, bees!

0:04:000:04:01

Thank you, thank you! You're so kind.

0:04:010:04:05

Whoa! Free honey?! What are you waiting for?

0:04:050:04:09

Put your head in that hole and get that honey right now!

0:04:090:04:14

Go on! Yes, yes!

0:04:140:04:16

That's it - push, push!

0:04:160:04:18

Push!

0:04:180:04:19

-Oh! Eh!

-Can you see the honey?

-Yes, I can!

0:04:200:04:26

Oh. That is delicious!

0:04:290:04:33

Truly delicious! Mmm!

0:04:340:04:36

Oh, Chameleon, is my tummy rumbling?

0:04:360:04:39

No tummy rumbles to report.

0:04:410:04:43

Oh, my. That is good.

0:04:430:04:46

I'll just have a little bit more.

0:04:460:04:49

Mmm! Oh, delicious! Mmm!

0:04:510:04:55

Ah... I'm coming out now, Chameleon.

0:04:550:04:59

Oh! Ugh!

0:04:590:05:01

Ugh! Oh, my!

0:05:010:05:03

I seem to be stuck.

0:05:030:05:05

Aah. Hm. Oh.

0:05:050:05:07

Oh! Ah...

0:05:070:05:09

I can't seem to get my head out of this hole.

0:05:090:05:13

-SLURP!

-That's it.

-Are you OK in there?

0:05:130:05:17

I'm fine! There's lots of honey!

0:05:170:05:20

-But you can't stay in there, Giraffe.

-I'll be all right.

0:05:200:05:24

Well, I'm going for help.

0:05:240:05:26

SLURP! SLURP!

0:05:260:05:29

-SLURP! SLURP!

-Mmm! Ah!

0:05:290:05:31

SLURP!

0:05:310:05:35

You see what I'm saying?

0:05:350:05:37

Giraffe? Are you all right in there?

0:05:370:05:41

Oh, yes. Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

0:05:410:05:46

Hmm. Fine for the moment.

0:05:460:05:48

-May I make a suggestion, Your Majesty?

-Tortoise.

0:05:480:05:51

May I suggest we pull Giraffe out by her legs.

0:05:510:05:56

-That's brilliant, Tortoise.

-I suppose it could work.

0:05:560:06:00

Hang on! You'll be out in a minute.

0:06:000:06:03

-Look at Giraffe's legs. They've gone all long.

-Hmm?

0:06:050:06:09

Your Majesty, might I suggest that we stop puling Giraffe's legs?

0:06:090:06:14

Excellent idea!

0:06:140:06:15

-Giraffe! Are you all right in there?

-Oh, I'm fine!

0:06:170:06:21

-We WILL get you out, Giraffe. Don't worry.

-I'm not worried!

0:06:210:06:26

-SLURP!

-Thank you for asking.

0:06:260:06:28

Looks like you and me might be here for quite some time.

0:06:280:06:33

I know - let's play a game.

0:06:330:06:35

I went into the jungle and I found a mango.

0:06:350:06:38

Oh, I love this game.

0:06:380:06:40

I went into the jungle and I found a mango and a big yellow stone...

0:06:400:06:46

-..a spotty caterpillar, some nuts...

-Look at Giraffe.

-Poor Giraffe.

0:06:460:06:53

Happens to the best of us, you know.

0:06:530:06:55

I know! Why don't we pull the tree off Giraffe?

0:06:550:07:01

-That's brilliant!

-Why not? We haven't got another plan.

0:07:010:07:05

-I went into the jungle and I found a mango...

-Huh! Eeeeh!

0:07:050:07:10

-Pull, pull! That's it! Pull!

-Eeeeeh!

0:07:100:07:14

Ooh! Stop! Stop!

0:07:140:07:16

Giraffe's neck is stretching. Stop!

0:07:160:07:19

-..a flamingo feather.

-Hee-hee-hee!

0:07:190:07:22

We WILL get you out, Giraffe. Don't worry!

0:07:220:07:25

Oh, I'm fine! Thanks for asking!

0:07:250:07:28

Here we go again! I went into the jungle...

0:07:280:07:31

..an orange, a mushroom, an empty seed pod, a prickly pear and...

0:07:310:07:39

Do you think Giraffe knows what's happening?

0:07:390:07:42

-Tickbird, check on Giraffe.

-Good idea.

0:07:420:07:45

< ..banana and an anthill tower.

0:07:450:07:48

-Giraffe, are you all right?

-I'm fine.

0:07:480:07:51

Chameleon's been keeping me company and we're having a lovely time.

0:07:510:07:56

-OK, your turn.

-Shouldn't be long now.

0:07:560:08:00

I went into the jungle and I found a mango and a big yellow stone and...

0:08:000:08:06

That's it. Keep going. Well done. That's it.

0:08:060:08:09

Oooh! Ooh! Steady! Ooh!

0:08:090:08:12

How are you doing?

0:08:120:08:14

Oh, no! I've run out of honey.

0:08:140:08:17

Let's play something else.

0:08:170:08:19

I spy with my beady eye, something beginning with...

0:08:190:08:23

Sorry I'm late. I just had to...

0:08:230:08:25

Oh, my goodness!

0:08:250:08:27

Look how long Giraffe's neck is now!

0:08:270:08:30

Hurry up, Tortoise!

0:08:300:08:31

Hello? Will it be much longer?

0:08:310:08:35

Sorry but I must admit I'm getting a little bit bored now, actually.

0:08:350:08:39

I'm coming as quickly as I can.

0:08:390:08:42

Well, it could be a while.

0:08:440:08:46

Giraffe, you've got to do this by yourself.

0:08:460:08:49

Try pulling yourself out again.

0:08:490:08:52

Do you think I can do it?

0:08:520:08:54

Well, you have changed quite a bit.

0:08:540:08:57

Now, come on! One more pull!

0:08:570:09:00

Nearly there. I'm nearly there.

0:09:000:09:02

Oh, my! Here I go!

0:09:020:09:06

Uh! Oooh!

0:09:060:09:08

Oh! Ugh!

0:09:080:09:09

Pull, Giraffe, pull! Come on! Pull!

0:09:090:09:14

Oh!

0:09:140:09:15

Now, come on, Giraffe. Come to Tortoise.

0:09:150:09:19

ALL: Whoa! Oof!

0:09:200:09:21

Ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha!

0:09:230:09:25

I'm out! Ha-ha-ha!

0:09:250:09:27

I'm free! I'm free-ee! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:09:270:09:32

ALL: Jambo, Giraffe! Hello!

0:09:320:09:34

You're such a long way away.

0:09:340:09:37

That's because you're so tall!

0:09:370:09:39

Oh... Oh, dear.

0:09:390:09:41

Well, I'm not sure I have a head for heights.

0:09:410:09:44

Well, you do now!

0:09:440:09:46

How long have I been up here?

0:09:460:09:48

Three whole seasons and the height of this tree.

0:09:480:09:51

Mmm. Ha-ha-ha!

0:09:510:09:54

-I'm going up.

-Don't be silly, Monkey. It's far too high.

0:09:540:09:58

I can make it. I'm a monkey!

0:09:580:10:01

Hee-hee! So, you see, that's why Giraffe has a long neck.

0:10:010:10:05

She stretched and stretched inside the tree

0:10:050:10:09

so that now her head almost touches the clouds.

0:10:090:10:12

Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!

0:10:120:10:14

-SNIFF! SNIFF!

-What's that lovely smell?

0:10:140:10:18

Fresh leaves. Eat!

0:10:180:10:21

Oh, my! Mm! Mm-hm-mm! Delicious!

0:10:210:10:25

Any tummy trouble?

0:10:250:10:28

No tummy trouble here.

0:10:280:10:31

-Hooray!

-Wonderful!

0:10:310:10:33

-Mm!

-And with her new long neck, Giraffe found her very own food

0:10:330:10:40

that no other animal could reach.

0:10:400:10:42

-Hee-hee!

-Chameleon, please try one.

0:10:420:10:46

No, no, no. No, thanks.

0:10:460:10:47

Flies are more my thing.

0:10:470:10:49

Whoo! See?

0:10:490:10:51

And Chameleon changing colour?

0:10:510:10:53

Well, that's a whole other story. Whoo!

0:10:530:10:57

Ha-ha-ha-ha!
