0:00:55 > 0:01:00- # Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. # - I'll tell you why...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09What was that?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Now, what was I saying? Hm...
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Oh, yes! Why crocodile has a bumpy back.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Ooh, hee-hee-hee.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You see, there was a time when crocodile's skin
0:01:21 > 0:01:23was not all lumpy and bumpy.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26It was smooth and all silky.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Hey! What's the hurry, Croc?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I don't want to get sunburnt...again.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hm.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36In fact, Croc's skin was so delicate
0:01:36 > 0:01:40that he had to keep out of the sun, or Croc went all pink.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Hee-hee!- And don't call me Croc!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49And then Crocodile was even more snappy.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55- Crocodile! Come here for a swim and cool off!- No!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Come on! Come on in and be cool!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03No! I have to stay out of the sun!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- RUMBLING - What's going on?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Did you hear that? - It might have been my tummy.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Sorry. It does that sometimes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13THEY GIGGLE
0:02:13 > 0:02:16CROCODILE SNORES
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Oh, look at Croc! It's not funny when you burn easy in the sun.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Do you remember how burnt he got last summer?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Ooh, it was nasty.- But he went a wonderful shade of pink.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Was it a baby pink, like this?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Or was it more of a zing-zing pink, like this?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38THEY ALL LAUGH
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Ha-ha! Very funny(!)
0:02:40 > 0:02:44But Crocodile, pink is such a beautiful colour.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Or did you go more of a cheeky scarlet, like this?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Will you all leave me alone?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55ALL: Ooh!
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- No need to get so snappy!- I am just trying to keep out of the sun!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Snappy, snappy, snappy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06CROCODILE SNORES
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Ooh, he's so snappy today.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12RUMBLING What is it?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14What on earth can it be?!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16That definitely wasn't me that time.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18RUMBLING ALL: Ahh!
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Jambo, everyone.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Sounds like a summer storm approaching.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Heh-heh. I thought it was my tummy rumbling, Tortoise.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37No, your tummy rumbling is MUCH louder than that!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39THEY ALL LAUGH
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Better hole-up for a bit.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47THEY SNORE
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- What is this meeting for? - I don't know.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Animals!
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Now, is everybody here? - ALL: Yes, Your Majesty.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Everybody except grumpy Crocodile.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Look, he's still asleep!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Now THAT is a hot pink! Ha-ha!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I love it when he turns pink.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:04:20 > 0:04:25You may well have all been wondering what that rumbling sound was.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- I was getting really worried.- Mm-hm. - With good reason, Elephant.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- The wildebeest are coming. - The wilde-what?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37The wildebeest. You are too young to remember, Monkey.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I remember the wildebeest.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Well, they are back.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And it is best not to upset them.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Why?- Because if you upset them, they charge.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55And when they charge, ho-ho-ho, they all charge at once.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57It's actually called a stampede.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Ooh, that sounds exciting!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Don't even think about it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06The most important thing, anywhere near a wildebeest,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- is never, ever to say the "R" word. - The "R" word?
0:05:10 > 0:05:16Which "R" word? R for rascal, R for rhino, or R for rude?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19No! R for...run.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Huh?- Huh?- Huh?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Nobody say another word!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36The meeting is over.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39(There's rather a lot of them.)
0:05:44 > 0:05:50So, if someone does say...mm, you, Tortoise, better be ready to...mm.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51I hope I don't have to...mm.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I wouldn't like to be in the way when they r...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Don't say it! You nearly said it!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Elephant! You nearly said the "R" word!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I didn't actually say "run", did I?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Run?- Run!- Run?- Run?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Run!- Now you said it!- No! RUN!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Ahh!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Run! Run! Run!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Ooh, ohh! Run, Tortoise! Run!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Me trying!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Here we go.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25WILDEBEEST: Run, run, run, run!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Run! Run!- Run!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- To the other side of the river! Run!- Run! Run!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Sorry, Lion. It was me. - No time for sorries.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Nothing will stop them now. It is nature's way.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Run! Oh, oh.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Calm! Stay calm!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Are we all here? Monkeys?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Check!- Tortoise?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Amazingly, yes, I am.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I am here, Your Majesty.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile is not here!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- He can't STILL be sleeping! - He's there!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12He's underneath the tree. I can see him.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Oh, no!- Huh?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Elephant! Trumpet now! Wake Crocodile up!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Run, Crocodile! Run!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Run! Run! Run! Run!
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Crocodile!- Crocodile!- Crocodile! - Wake up!
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- Crocodile! Wake up!- Crocodile! - Run!- What?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37ALL: Behind you, Crocodile!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Huh?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Run! Run! Run!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Ahhh!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- I can't watch!- Oh, no!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Run! Run! Run! Run!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Run! Run! Run!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Run! Run! Run!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Run! Run! Run! Run!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Ohh.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Ohh...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12HE COUGHS
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Phew.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Oh, that still works. And my tail...
0:08:17 > 0:08:21That's OK. Now...
0:08:23 > 0:08:24HE LAUGHS
0:08:24 > 0:08:28All in good snapping order.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29That was lucky.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Well, not that lucky, I suppose.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Not THAT lucky to be trampled on by a herd of dopey wildebeest.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I mean...not THAT lucky at all.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Eh.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I've never seen ANYTHING like that before!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm glad it wasn't me who said r...
0:08:46 > 0:08:50No, sorry, it was me. Big head, see? Tiny brain.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- RATTLING - It is not your fault, Elephant.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Wildebeest stampede. That is what they do.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58CROCODILE LAUGHS
0:08:58 > 0:09:03It's nature's way. Now, what's happened to Crocodile?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05THEY ALL GASP
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I never thought I'd say this, but I'm going to say it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Poor, poor Crocodile.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16CROCODILE LAUGHS
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I know he was snappy, but I'm going to miss him.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23We'll all miss him.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Whose tail are we going to pull now?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Poor Croc!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Huh?!- Don't call me Croc!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Crocodile?- Crocodile?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Yes! Crocodile.- Crocodile!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38THEY ALL CHEER
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- What's happened to your back? - Your pink skin has turned all bumpy.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Well, in case you didn't notice,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52a whole herd of dopey wildebeest just trampled over my back!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Aw, still snappy, though!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- You look like a wooden log! - THEY LAUGH
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Look at me! I'm all bumpy!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Bumpy, I tell you!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Well, at least with your new bumpy skin,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11you can go out in the sun and not get burnt.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Hm. True.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18But look at me! I'm all bumpy! Bumpy!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22And that's why Crocodile has a bumpy back.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I look like a wooden log!
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Amazing. Quite difficult to tell the difference, actually.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36He does! Crocodile looks like a wooden log!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Well, you'd better just watch out, then!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43So if you see a log by the river, better not get too close.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48It might be Crocodile, and then you have to...run!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Run? Run! Run! Run!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53And the dopey wildebeest?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Well, that's a whole other story.
