0:01:03 > 0:01:04Oh! Ouch!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hee-hee-hee!

0:01:06 > 0:01:10You see, there was a time when Snake did have legs.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13In fact, they had hundreds and hundreds.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Who's that?

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Jambo, Snake! It's me, Monkey.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Oh, Monkey. Jambo!

0:01:19 > 0:01:23But you see, Snake could not see. Not a single thing.

0:01:23 > 0:01:28A thousand teeny-weeny legs and not a single eye in his head.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Ow!

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Aye-aye-aye! Careful, Snake. Watch where you are going.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Oh, Zebra, please forgive me.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, as it's you, Snake,

0:01:39 > 0:01:42and I know you can't see, which is a terrible shame,

0:01:42 > 0:01:47because today I've got my very best stripes on.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- What's the special occasion?

0:01:49 > 0:01:52The Tinga Tinga Festival of Colours!

0:01:52 > 0:01:54It will be cool!

0:01:54 > 0:01:59It's today, Snake. Everyone is getting ready. Woo-hoo!

0:01:59 > 0:02:04He-he-he! You're going to look good. He-he-he!

0:02:04 > 0:02:06You're not going to late, Tortoise?

0:02:06 > 0:02:11Like you were last year, and the year before that, and before that...

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Elephant! I'm going to set off nice and early this year.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18I wouldn't miss it for the world.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Ouch!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Snake!- Sorry!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Where are you off to? - The Festival of Colours.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30- Well, you're heading in the wrong direction.- Oops!

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Poor Snake.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Ooh! Ssssss.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Oooh! Oo-ee!

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Who is this, and why won't you let me pass?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50My apologies, Snake.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51I didn't see you. SQUAWK!

0:02:51 > 0:02:54What do you think of my party feathers?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Oh, aren't they spectacular?

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Uh?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00What? No praise?

0:03:00 > 0:03:05No praise for a tail more beautiful than a rainy-season rainbow?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Peacock, I have no eyes.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12Sorry, Snake. I quite forgot. But you are coming to the party?

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Don't dilly-dally or you'll miss me shake my tail feathers.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Which way is it?

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Peacock? Peacock?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Ow!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Oh, not again!

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Ooh!

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Snake!- Oh, Tortoise, I thought you were a rock!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I'M A TORTOISE! I'M NOT A ROCK!

0:03:35 > 0:03:38A TORTOISE, CAN'T YOU SEE?!

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I can't SEE anything.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Sorry, Snake.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46That was thoughtless of me. Come to The Festival of Colours with me.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48I don't want to go any more.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I won't be able to see anything.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Hmmm. Have you ever thought of borrowing some eyes?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59No.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03If you borrowed the eyes of an animal who isn't going to the party,

0:04:03 > 0:04:08you could see everything for yourself.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11But everybody's going to the party.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Frog isn't. Frog's not well. He's got a terrible fever.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Oh? I'll ask him. Thank you, Tortoise.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Maybe see you at the party.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Ha-ha! If I ever get there...

0:04:24 > 0:04:25RIBBIT!

0:04:27 > 0:04:29RIBBIT!

0:04:29 > 0:04:32A-a-achoo!

0:04:32 > 0:04:33HE SNIFFS

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Off to the party?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39I've brought you some leaves and bark to make you feel better.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41HE COUGHS

0:04:41 > 0:04:44How kind! Why aren't you going?

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I can't see anything. And I was...I was...

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Spit it out, Snake! - Can I borrow your eyes?

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Oh...well, I suppose so.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Seeing as you have been so kind...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Oh! Hee-hee!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Oh! They're big!

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Ooh! They're very big!

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Too big, eh?

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Ooh-ooh.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Why don't you try Chameleon?- Uh?

0:05:10 > 0:05:13He's got much smaller eyes.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17During the festival he stays on his twig, praying for a new colour.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Take some flies. Chameleon LOVES flies.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Woo! How about sunset, eh?

0:05:26 > 0:05:29This one's called "Nature".

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Ta-da! Now you see me...

0:05:30 > 0:05:33now you don't! Ha-ha-ha!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Woo! How about this one? Ha-ha!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Rainbow! Or what about...

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Stop! I can't see you and I can't see your colours.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Hey, Snake, sorry about that. I'm here. Follow the voice, buddy.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Over here!

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Mmmm! Are those flies?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Wow! They're good!

0:05:53 > 0:05:58Chameleon, Frog said you'd be praying for a new colour today,

0:05:58 > 0:06:00and wouldn't be going to the party.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Same every year. New colour, whole new outfit.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Works every time.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Well, I was wondering, could I borrow your eyes

0:06:08 > 0:06:12so I can go to the party and see everything?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15And if I give you the eyes, I get the flies, right?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17The whole basket.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Deal!

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Ooh!

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Colour!

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Lots of colour!

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Oh! Too many, too many!

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Bit too good, eh?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Sorry I couldn't help, Snake.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Oh... I'll never be able to see.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Ow!

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Ow!

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Unngh!

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Urrgh!

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Can't you see I'm struggling?- No.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Oh, you got no eyes.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07No eye things at all. Oops, sorry about that.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08Me too.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Let me introduce myself. My name is Pediless,

0:07:11 > 0:07:17which means I've no feet, I've no legs and means I'm going nowhere!

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Oh, I'm just a lowly snake.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23With no eyes.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Hey, have you got eyes?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Yes.- Why don't we swap?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'll swap you all of my legs for your two eyes.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Just for a day.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Then you can get out of your hole and I will be able to see.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Hmmm...all of your legs?

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Every single one.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Done.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Hee-hee!- Ho-ho!

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Ha-ha! Yes!

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Ha-ha-ha!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55I can run! I can run and jump and hop and scurry!

0:07:55 > 0:08:00Look at that! Look at that! That is a definite scurry.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03He-he-he! I can see!

0:08:03 > 0:08:06I can see everything!

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Thank you, Pediless. I'll see you here tomorrow.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Same time, same rock.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Tomorrow, same time...

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oof! Same rock.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Oh, yippee! I can see!

0:08:19 > 0:08:22I can see!

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Oh, how do I move?

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Oooh!

0:08:28 > 0:08:32Weeee! Woo-hoo!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Jambo, Snake!- Jambo, Tortoise.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I had a wonderful time at the party.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Oh, no! Did I miss it again?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I saw everything!

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh, did you borrow those eyes from Frog?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45They belong to Pediless. You haven't seen him?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- No, I'm afraid not.- Hmm.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Well, I suppose I might as well make my way back to the water hole.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55I might get there sometime next week.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Where is Pediless? Hmm...

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Oh, well. I can't wait forever.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03So many things to see!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- What a party! - Did you see Snake slither?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Snake could move!- Shh!

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- WHISPERS:- Snake could groove!

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Monkeys!

0:10:12 > 0:10:15ACHOO! RIBBIT!

0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Still not well, Frog? - I'm all croaky.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Hmm, Chameleon gave you his eyes, eh?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24No, Pediless did. You haven't seen him?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27No, he's probably lost. RIBBIT!

0:10:27 > 0:10:32If you see him, please tell him he's very welcome to keep all my legs.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34I will. RIBBIT!

0:10:34 > 0:10:37But Snake never saw Pediless again.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40And that is why Snake has no legs.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Pediless became Millipede...

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Which way now? - ..the worm with a thousand legs.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49And Frog losing his voice...

0:10:49 > 0:10:51COUGH! RIBBIT!

0:10:51 > 0:10:54..well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58RIBBIT. RIBBIT.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00RIBBIT.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06# Tinga Tinga Tinga Tinga-a... #

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Hee-hee! Tales from Africa!

0:11:10 > 0:11:13# ..Tales from Africa. #

0:11:13 > 0:11:14Hee-hee!
