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

-I'll tell you why.

0:00:550:01:00

You see, Jackal always wanted what he did not have.

0:01:070:01:11

Look at Hen's nest.

0:01:110:01:13

-Jambo, Hen.

-Jambo, Monkeys.

0:01:130:01:15

HEN CLUCKS

0:01:150:01:17

My, my, Hen, you sure know how to make a cosy nest.

0:01:170:01:22

Ooh, I want cosy. Cosy is nice.

0:01:240:01:27

This is my nest, Jackal.

0:01:270:01:29

-I'd like to live in a nest.

-But you're an elephant.

0:01:300:01:34

-And?

-And?

0:01:340:01:35

And it would take Hen ages to build a nest for you, my friend.

0:01:350:01:40

Ooh. TORTOISE LAUGHS

0:01:400:01:41

EVERYONE CHUCKLES

0:01:410:01:44

-Oh!

-Mmmm.

0:01:470:01:48

Jackal? Get up! Get out of my nest!

0:01:480:01:50

But I want it.

0:01:510:01:53

Well, if I can't have a nest, you can't either.

0:01:530:01:57

-HEN CLUCKS IRRITATEDLY

-Now, what am I going to do?

0:01:570:02:00

Don't worry, Hen, you know Jackal.

0:02:000:02:02

He'll soon want something else.

0:02:020:02:05

STRAINING AND GROANING

0:02:060:02:09

I...just...can't...

0:02:090:02:11

seem...to...get...into...my...

0:02:110:02:14

burrow!

0:02:140:02:15

Move, Aardvark. I want this burrow.

0:02:150:02:19

It's my burrow.

0:02:190:02:21

Not any more it's not.

0:02:210:02:23

I want it. So, trot on. JACKAL MURMURS HAPPILY

0:02:230:02:26

-You.

-You see what I mean?

0:02:260:02:29

Never please, may I have this? Or please may I have that?

0:02:290:02:32

Just want, want, want, want, want.

0:02:320:02:35

-Mama.

-One for you.

-CUBS CHOMP HAPPILY

0:02:360:02:39

Ooh! Chops. My favourite.

0:02:410:02:45

Mmm. I want one of those.

0:02:450:02:47

Hee hee!

0:02:480:02:50

-Aargh!

-Aiii!

0:02:500:02:52

Jackal took my chop.

0:02:530:02:55

Jackal! That's the cubs' supper.

0:02:550:02:58

-Give that back.

-Jackal!

0:02:580:03:01

-Jackal!

-Plus dessert, oh! Ha ha!

0:03:010:03:05

Jackal!

0:03:050:03:07

Don't worry, Mama Cheetah.

0:03:070:03:09

Jackal will soon want something better.

0:03:090:03:11

Enough is enough.

0:03:110:03:13

-ANIMALS CONFER

-Jackal's a menace.

-Mm-hm.

0:03:140:03:16

-He stole my nest.

-He's mean.

0:03:160:03:19

I had to build two nests in one day.

0:03:190:03:22

He squashed into my burrow

0:03:220:03:24

and I had nowhere to sleep.

0:03:240:03:26

-Your Majesty, Jackal is also taking food.

-Taking food?

0:03:260:03:30

He took a chop right out of the mouth of Mama Cheetah's cubs.

0:03:300:03:34

Is this true?

0:03:340:03:36

-Yes, he did.

-CUBS MURMUR AGREEMENT

0:03:360:03:38

Your Majesty, Jackal is never satisfied with what he has.

0:03:380:03:41

This is not nature's way.

0:03:410:03:43

Something must be done.

0:03:430:03:45

May I make a suggestion?

0:03:450:03:48

Of course, Tortoise.

0:03:480:03:50

Bees, has Jackal ever tasted your honey?

0:03:500:03:52

BEES HUM MELODIOUSLY Think about it, it's important.

0:03:520:03:56

-BEES:

-# No, no. #

0:03:560:03:58

A-ha!

0:03:580:03:59

And your point?

0:03:590:04:02

-Is that Jackal has never tasted sweet, delicious honey.

-And?

0:04:020:04:06

Once he does, he'll want more and more of it.

0:04:060:04:10

And he'll leave the rest of us alone.

0:04:100:04:12

-ANIMALS LAUGH

-That's brilliant!

0:04:120:04:14

-Bees?

-BEES:

-# Yes! #

-Make some honey into the shape of the moon.

0:04:140:04:17

-BEES:

-# Honey. #

0:04:170:04:19

Then tonight, when the sun goes down,

0:04:190:04:22

every beast is to line up...

0:04:220:04:24

Wait, wait, here comes Jackal.

0:04:260:04:28

ANIMALS MURMUR IN WONDERMENT

0:04:290:04:32

Wow! Moon honey!

0:04:340:04:37

What are you looking at?

0:04:370:04:38

Ssh.

0:04:380:04:40

What are you all waiting for?

0:04:400:04:42

Why have you all got your mouths open?

0:04:440:04:46

We're waiting for the full moon to rise.

0:04:460:04:49

-Why is that?

-Because, Jackal, the moon is made of pure honey.

0:04:490:04:54

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm!

0:04:540:04:56

Honey?

0:04:560:04:57

Just as it rises,

0:04:570:04:59

a single drop of moon honey

0:04:590:05:03

falls down.

0:05:030:05:04

And moon honey is the most delicious thing

0:05:040:05:08

you will taste in your whole life!

0:05:080:05:11

-Moon honey? ALL:

-Moon honey.

0:05:110:05:14

I want some of that!

0:05:140:05:17

Uh-uh, eyes closed, Jackal.

0:05:390:05:42

-Eyes closed.

-I want some.

0:05:420:05:44

BEES HUM TUNEFULLY

0:05:440:05:47

Ah! Oooh! Mm!

0:05:520:05:54

That is the most delicious thing

0:05:540:05:57

I have ever tasted in all my jackal days.

0:05:570:06:00

Oooh! And I have tasted a lot of things.

0:06:000:06:03

-We know.

-But this - this moon honey - is the tastiest thing ever!

0:06:030:06:09

Mm. Mm. Mm.

0:06:090:06:11

0:06:190:06:20

GIGGLING

0:06:230:06:25

Why isn't it coming? Where is the moon honey?

0:06:280:06:30

ANIMALS GIGGLE

0:06:320:06:34

You have to wait until tomorrow, Jackal.

0:06:340:06:37

The moon will rise again.

0:06:370:06:39

And then you'll get your drop of moon honey. Just wait.

0:06:390:06:43

Just wait.

0:06:430:06:45

Ooh!

0:07:000:07:02

Ah! Oh!

0:07:020:07:05

Where is the moon honey?

0:07:050:07:07

I must have more of that moon honey.

0:07:070:07:09

-Looks like someone else wants it too.

-Oh!

0:07:090:07:13

Some animal is nibbling away at my moon honey.

0:07:130:07:17

-Just wait. Just wait.

-HEN GIGGLES

0:07:170:07:20

Oh!

0:07:340:07:35

Someone else is definitely helping themselves to that honey.

0:07:370:07:40

I think some lucky animal knows how to get up there.

0:07:400:07:45

-They're eating it all up.

-But I want some!

0:07:450:07:49

That's my moon honey.

0:07:490:07:52

Tomorrow, there'll be even less.

0:09:110:09:12

JACKAL SPUTTERS I want it!

0:09:140:09:17

I want... HOWLS: ..Moon honey!

0:09:170:09:20

HE HOWLS

0:09:200:09:23

-Why don't you just give up, Jackal?

0:09:230:09:26

I want moo-o-o-on honey!

0:09:260:09:29

I want it! I want it!

0:09:290:09:32

I want moo-o-o-o-n honey! HE HOWLS

0:09:320:09:35

-Do you think we should tell him?

-So he can steal my cubs' food again?

0:09:350:09:39

-And sit in my nest?

-And push me out of my own home?

0:09:390:09:43

-I want that moon honey!

-Hm.

0:09:430:09:46

I'll leave him.

0:09:460:09:49

-"I want" never gets.

-Well said, Lion.

HE HOWLS

0:09:550:09:57

Mo-o-o-o-on honey! HE HOWLS

0:09:570:10:01

So, nobody every told Jackal

0:10:010:10:04

that the moon wasn't made of honey at all.

0:10:040:10:07

They were so pleased that Jackal was leaving them alone

0:10:070:10:10

that nobody ever told him

0:10:100:10:12

that honey really comes from bees.

0:10:120:10:14

Aroooo! Hee hee!

0:10:140:10:17

And that's why Jackal howls at the moon.

0:10:170:10:20

Hee hee!

0:10:200:10:21
