0:01:07 > 0:01:12You see, there was a time when Woodpecker never, ever pecked.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16In fact, she made no sound at all.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20All the other birds had their own special sound.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Crow caw-ed.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- CAW-CAW - The Tinga Birds sang...

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Well, Parrot...just copied everyone else! He-he!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45But Woodpecker was totally, totally silent.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Jambo, Woodpecker, how was your day?
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Busy, eh?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55It wasn't busy?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58It was quite busy...
0:01:58 > 0:02:00But then again, not that busy?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Well, erm, I'd better go.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09It's getting dark... Oh, really, really dark.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Nice talking to you though.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Tortoise? Tortoise, where are you?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21CRUNCHING Have a guess.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26I don't know. It's so dark, I can't see my trunk in front of my face.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27SPLASHING
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Ah, Crocodile?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- No, it's me, Hippo.- Oh.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Where is everyone?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Watch out!- Oh!- OW!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ha-ha-ha, need some help?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Yes, please, Owl.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Use your big eyes and tell us what on earth is going on!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Well, monkeys, you are on top of Tickbird,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56who is squished between the bottom of Hippo
0:02:56 > 0:02:58and the bottom of Elephant.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And all of you are standing on top of...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Me! Tortoise!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04THEY LAUGH
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Sorry, Tortoise.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Oh, asante, thank you very much.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Now, let's just have a bit of calm
0:03:12 > 0:03:17and try and figure out what is going on.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Well, it's very dark. And everybody keeps bumping into each other...
0:03:22 > 0:03:25We know that, Elephant, but why?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Animals, the moon has disappeared!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33The moon has completely disappeared.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35All: What?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Eagle's right, there's no moon.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- No moon at all.- And no stars.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Look!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Someone's got to tell Lion straightaway.- We'll go, we'll go.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Monkeys, it's too dark and you'll get lost.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- But...- But...- But... - Not another word.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58This is definitely a job for the birds.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03We can spread the word and get Lion here in no time.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Tickbird!- Right away.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Come on, we can't miss out on this.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18Ostrich, run and tell Lion the moon and the stars have disappeared.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Uh!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Peacock...- Uh?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Tell Lion, the moon and the stars have disappeared.- What?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- The moon and the stars have disappeared?- What?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32The moon and the stars have disappeared?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Woodpecker, Woodpecker, tell Lion,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40the moon and the stars have disappeared.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45HE SNORES
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Maybe we should say something. - What did Tortoise say?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Not another word.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Lion...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Come on.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Oh, Lion should be here by now.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It has been a very, very long time.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23CRASHING
0:05:23 > 0:05:25What was that?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27He-he-he-he, nothing!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Monkeys, have you been up to mischief?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31- No.- No.- No.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Woodpecker?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I know Lion will definitely have got that message.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40My birds never let me down.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42But Lion didn't get the message!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44What are you talking about?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Tickbird told Ostrich...- Who told Peacock...- Who told Parrot...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Who told Woodpecker...- Who...- Who... - Who...?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53..couldn't pass the message on.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03- And why didn't you say anything? - You said, "Not another word."- Oh!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, this is a disaster.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- No moon, no stars and no Lion. - What are we going to do?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well, I'm going to fly up and take another look.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- The moon can't just simply disappear.- Good plan, Eagle.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Where can they be?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32No moon, no stars...
0:06:32 > 0:06:38no nothing! The moon and the stars are nowhere to be found.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43The moon and the stars are nowhere to be found.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- There's another one!- And another. - Look, a star!
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- The stars are coming back. - And another one.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47# Tinga, Tinga, lost in night
0:07:47 > 0:07:52# We had no stars, had no light
0:07:52 > 0:07:55# Now they've come, come to shine

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Can some beast tell me what is going on?
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Oh, Your Majesty, it has been one of the darkest nights in Tinga Tinga.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24The moon and the stars disappeared.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And what is that tapping sound?
0:08:27 > 0:08:32I don't know, but it's something to do with the stars coming back.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Look!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36PECK-PECK
0:08:48 > 0:08:52The moon! Ho-ho-ho!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- It's the moon.- Oh, the moon is back.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- # Tinga, Tinga, was lost in night - # Lost in night
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- # Now the moon- Now the moon - Is shining bright
0:09:05 > 0:09:10# It's so glorious, glorious
0:09:10 > 0:09:14# Glorious, glorious... #
0:09:14 > 0:09:19How wonderful, all is good with the night again.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Eagle, how did you do it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It wasn't me.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Owl, did you summon the moon?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Oh, no, no, no, no, I was here all the time.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Well, it's a total mystery, then.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42What is she trying to say?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Erm... Erm...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54PECK-PECK-PECK
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Oh, that's the same sound from the night sky.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59PECK-PECK-PECK
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Woodpecker, was that you?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03PECK-PECK-PECK
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Eek... It was me!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10THEY GASP Woodpecker spoke!
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Woodpecker spoke!
0:10:11 > 0:10:16I pecked on the sky and I made the stars.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19THEY LAUGH
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Woodpecker said something!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24PECK-PECK
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Then I pecked again and made the moon.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Oh, thank you, Woodpecker.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34And now you have found your own special sound.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37A sound that is going to prove very useful in Tinga Tinga.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- Well done, Woodpecker! - And that's why Woodpecker pecks.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I just wanted to do right.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm very proud of you, little bird.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Tonight, you were the real star.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55And Eagle? Well, that's a whole other story.
