0:02:05 > 0:02:08Pink flying clouds.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11I don't think those are clouds, Elephant.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13What are they?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16I don't know, what is that?

0:02:17 > 0:02:22Hmm?! You see there was a time when no-one in Tinga Tinga

0:02:22 > 0:02:24had ever seen a flamingo.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- TORTOISE:- It's like the heavens are falling!

0:02:28 > 0:02:31# Stirring feeling... #

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Huh?! What's that?

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Sti.. Fee... Ah!

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Uh! Ah! Ah-ah!

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh. Pfft!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Eurgh!

0:02:42 > 0:02:45We are feeding here!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Good morning, charming creatures.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52What beautiful water - so clean and so much room!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Ha-ha, it talks! Ha-ha, ha!

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Pfft! Uh!

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Lion, we have strangers!

0:03:01 > 0:03:04LION: Mmm-hmm.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09Greetings, um...pink things. I am king of Tinga Tinga.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Karibu, welcome.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Good morning to you, King.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17We are fla-ming-os

0:03:17 > 0:03:20and we have flown many days

0:03:20 > 0:03:23over many lands looking for a new home.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Well, you are most welcome here...Flamingo.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Ha-ha, ha!- Ha-ha!

0:03:29 > 0:03:31THEY LAUGH

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Um...your majesty, these strangers have messed up

0:03:35 > 0:03:37our morning manoeuvres.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Oh, little crab!

0:03:39 > 0:03:44I'm so sorry about your morning man... manu... mano... No, um...

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Manoeuvres! Morning manoeuvres!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48I don't know what it means.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52We stir up the bottom of the water hole, it means we,

0:03:52 > 0:03:57and a lot of other animals, can feed! It's very important.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Come now, Crab.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02I'm sure we can make room for Flamingo AND your manoeuvres.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07And how are we to do that when THAT stranger has filled up

0:04:07 > 0:04:09OUR water hole with all of her legs?!

0:04:09 > 0:04:13I'm sure we can make room for you.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Wait, wait, wait! YOU make room for US?!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17We were here first!

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Crab, that is no way to talk.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22The flamingos are our guests

0:04:22 > 0:04:25and we should treat them with kindness.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27It is nature's way.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Now, please, continue!

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Oh! Very well.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Crabs, attention!

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Shells into position!

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Legs lively!

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Claws up!

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Let's stir things...up!

0:04:48 > 0:04:50CRABS GROAN

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Ooh! ha-ha, ha!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03FLAMINGOS GIGGLE

0:05:04 > 0:05:07They're tickled pink! Ha! Ha! Ha!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09That's funny, Tortoise.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11THEY LAUGH

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Tickled pink! Ha-ha, ha!

0:05:13 > 0:05:14How is Crab doing?

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Oh! Ah! Ay-ay!

0:05:18 > 0:05:19I...

0:05:19 > 0:05:22That's it, that's it! THAT'S IT!

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Abandon manoeuvres!

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Abandon...manoeuvres!

0:05:29 > 0:05:33Your majesty, manoeuvres are now impossible.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Uh-oh, Crab looks a bit crabby.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38- THEY LAUGH - That's funny, Elephant!- Is it?

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- You made a joke!- Did I?

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Ha! Ha! Ha!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44What was it, then?

0:05:44 > 0:05:48My crabs can no longer stir, nor can they feed.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50These flamingos will have to go.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54But we have flown such a long way...

0:05:54 > 0:05:56That may be, madam, but we...

0:05:56 > 0:05:59..And we have nowhere else to go.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01That may BE, madam, but...

0:06:01 > 0:06:04And we like Tinga Tinga SO much!

0:06:04 > 0:06:06THAT MAY BE, MADAM! But...

0:06:06 > 0:06:07- Crab!- Yes.

0:06:07 > 0:06:12If the flamingos stick to one side of the water hole

0:06:12 > 0:06:16and the crabs to the other, there will be room for all of you.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17But! But! But!

0:06:17 > 0:06:18No "buts"!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Oh, very well.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22We'll try.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Flamingo? - Let's all walk to one side, huh?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Make room for the little crabs.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Oh! I could pinch her.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Crabs! Positions, please!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh! Move. Move.

0:06:37 > 0:06:38Move, huh? Move.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Uh! Ah! Just move...

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Move... Move the...

0:06:48 > 0:06:53Crabs! Let's try and stir things up!

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Ah!

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Sir! This is impossible!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07The flamingos have to go!

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Now!- But we've only just arrived.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12And now it's time to leave.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15But we don't want to go...

0:07:15 > 0:07:17SILENCE!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Water belongs to every beast.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24But it's OUR water hole and YOU'RE... Oh...

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Oh! Ah!

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Argh!

0:07:28 > 0:07:33Right. If those flamingos WON'T leave our water hole,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35then we'll have to make them.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Crabs! Gather round, please.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38Gather round.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41I have a plan...

0:07:41 > 0:07:43CRAB WHISPERS

0:07:43 > 0:07:44Hmm.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Crab is up to something, I know it.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Well, things look a LITTLE calmer,

0:07:51 > 0:07:54but we still have a most baffling problem -

0:07:54 > 0:07:57too many animals and not enough water hole.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Tortoise, any suggestions?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Well, you majesty, I was just wondering if may...

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Ouch!

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Ooh! Ah!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Ouch! Ouch!

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Oh, no! The crabs are pinching the flamingos!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Somebody do something!

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Look at what is happening!

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Chaos, again!

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Yes, but look!

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Ouch!- Ay!- Ouch!- Ooh!

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Huh?

0:08:28 > 0:08:31TORTOISE WHISPERS

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Clever, Tortoise. Very clever.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38SILENCE!

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Ah! Ooh!

0:08:41 > 0:08:42CRAB!

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Ah! Coming.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48It appears that together you have found the solution

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- to your problem.- Huh?

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Now, crabs!

0:08:51 > 0:08:55Give the flamingos a pinch on the count of three.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Hee-hee, hee!

0:08:57 > 0:09:00One-two-three!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Crabs! Pinch!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Ay! Ah...

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Hold the legs, Flamingo, hold the legs up!

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Now, Crab. All of you turn sideways.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16You heard Lion!

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Sideways! Turn!

0:09:18 > 0:09:21# Sideways turn. #

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Now see if you can move from one side of the water hole to the other.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28# We are moving. #

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Now back the other way!

0:09:29 > 0:09:33# Back the other way. #

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Uh-uh, Flamingo.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37One leg up, one leg up!

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Not bad, sir.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Not bad at all.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, actually it was my...

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Thank you, Tortoise. Now back!

0:09:45 > 0:09:46# Go back. #

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Come forth.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49# Come forth. #

0:09:49 > 0:09:53It works! Leg up, Flamingo! That's it! Oh, well done!

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Marvellous!

0:09:55 > 0:09:58To the middle...and out again!

0:09:58 > 0:09:59Oh, yes!

0:09:59 > 0:10:01# Middle and out

0:10:01 > 0:10:08# Stirring feeling Stirring feeling

0:10:08 > 0:10:10# Ooh

0:10:10 > 0:10:13# Stirring feeling

0:10:13 > 0:10:14# Ooh... #

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Whoa! Hee-hee!

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Oh, it looks lovely!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20And no more pinching.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Ha-ha, ha-ha!

0:10:23 > 0:10:24Ha-ha, hey!

0:10:24 > 0:10:25He-hey!

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Ha-ha, ha-ha!

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Ooh, ha-ha!

0:10:29 > 0:10:31There's room for everyone!

0:10:31 > 0:10:33There's room for everyone!

0:10:33 > 0:10:38And that's why Flamingo stands on one leg -

0:10:38 > 0:10:40to make room for the crabs!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43And from that day on, Crab always walks sideways,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45so everyone was happy!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Excellent! Excellent!

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Ha, ha-ha!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51And back...and forth!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Flamingo, don't get tired!

0:10:53 > 0:10:58And Lion's roar? Well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Hee-hee, hee!
