0:01:130:01:15

HIPPO STRAINS

0:01:150:01:17

There was a time when Hippo was covered in hair.

0:01:170:01:21

Jambo, Hippo, how's things?

0:01:210:01:23

-Hot.

-When the sun is hot, you've got to keep cool.

0:01:230:01:28

That's all very well for you to say.

0:01:280:01:31

# The angrier you get The more that you will sweat

0:01:310:01:35

# You huff and puff You're going to lose the plot

# Look at Croc who's keeping still The thing to do is chill

0:01:380:01:42

# I know it's hard when everything's so hot. #

0:01:420:01:45

Hee hee! Take a nice, cold shower at the very hottest hour.

0:01:450:01:49

# Have a sleep and find a shady spot

-MONKEYS GIGGLE

0:02:120:02:14

-What's going on?

-Move, Hyena, you're in my shade.

0:02:140:02:18

-Oh!

-Hm.

0:02:180:02:20

Don't even think about it, Monkey.

0:02:220:02:25

HE WHISTLES, MONKEYS GIGGLE

0:02:250:02:27

-# You've got to keep cool. #

-You've got to keep cool.

0:02:270:02:31

You've got to keep cool!

0:02:310:02:33

HIPPO HUFFS AND PUFFS Oh! This is too much!

0:02:340:02:37

Hey, Hippo.

0:02:370:02:39

Oh!

0:02:400:02:41

Crocodile can have a swim. I'm going for a dip too.

0:02:420:02:45

You can't. You know what Lion says. Water is for fishes.

0:02:450:02:50

And now, hippos! Hairy hippos!

0:02:500:02:53

Quietly, then. Don't wake Lion.

0:02:530:02:55

LION SNORES

0:02:550:02:57

CREAK! GRUNT!

0:02:570:03:00

-CRUNCH!

-Oh! Hippo!

0:03:010:03:03

Sorry, Tortoise, I didn't see you.

0:03:030:03:05

-No beast ever does.

-Quietly.

0:03:050:03:08

This is quietly!

0:03:080:03:11

HIPPO HOLDS BREATH

0:03:140:03:15

Whoo-hoo! SPLASH!

0:03:150:03:19

Hippo!

0:03:190:03:20

Ha ha ha ha!

0:03:210:03:22

Ho ho ho ho ho!

0:03:240:03:25

Whee!

0:03:260:03:27

Look at me!

0:03:270:03:29

Ha ha ha! Hey!

0:03:390:03:40

-CACKLES OF LAUGHTER

-Hm?

0:03:400:03:42

-Hippo!

-Whoo-hoo!

0:03:430:03:45

Hippopotamus!

0:03:450:03:47

What have I told you over 100 times?

0:03:490:03:53

Er...water is for fishes?

0:03:530:03:56

That's right. And the odd crab and crocodile.

0:03:560:04:00

But why can't I live in the water?

0:04:000:04:02

Oh!

0:04:020:04:04

Look at the size of you. You'd eat up all the fish.

0:04:040:04:07

No, I wouldn't. I don't even like fish.

0:04:070:04:10

Crocodile already lives there. We can't have two large hungry

0:04:100:04:14

-animals living in the same waters.

-But I'm so hrmpingly hot!

0:04:140:04:18

It's nature's way.

0:04:180:04:20

Land is where you belong, Hippo.

0:04:200:04:23

-Find another way to keep cool, hm?

-But...but...

-No buts!

0:04:230:04:28

Oh! HIPPO SIGHS AND MOANS

0:04:280:04:32

-Come, come.

-I'm so hot!

0:04:350:04:38

Lion has got a point.

0:04:390:04:41

Hippo, you're supposed to live on the land.

0:04:410:04:44

I think Hippo has a point.

0:04:440:04:46

She can't just tuck inside a nice, cool shell

0:04:460:04:49

or find a shady spot under a rock.

0:04:490:04:50

You're telling me!

0:04:500:04:52

What's more difficult than getting one hippo under a rock?

0:04:520:04:56

-BOTH:

-I don't know.

-Getting two hippos under a rock!

0:04:560:05:00

MONKEYS LAUGH Two hippos under a rock! Ha ha!

0:05:000:05:03

Tell me, Monkeys, what do you do

0:05:080:05:11

when one hot, hairy hippo has had too much sun?

0:05:110:05:14

-ALL:

-I don't know.

0:05:160:05:18

Run! MONKEYS LAUGH

0:05:180:05:20

ANIMALS ALL LAUGH

0:05:200:05:24

Oh, I'm even hotter.

0:05:250:05:26

I know! I'll make some shade.

0:05:260:05:29

Better?

0:05:300:05:32

-Better?

-No.

0:05:330:05:35

-Better?

-No.

0:05:370:05:38

Tickbird, you're not even big enough to shade one hair on Hippo's head.

0:05:380:05:43

-Oh! How did you do that?

-I didn't.

0:05:440:05:48

-Jambo, everyone.

-Jambo, Elephant!

-What are you doing?

0:05:480:05:53

-Trying not to be hot.

-OK. I'll not bother you, then.

0:05:530:05:58

No, no, no, no! Don't move. HIPPO GRUNTS AND GROANS

0:05:580:06:02

Just there. Just stay there. Don't move a single muscle.

0:06:020:06:05

Er... How long for?

0:06:050:06:08

-Until the sun goes down?

-OK.

0:06:080:06:12

Right, that's it, I've had enough.

0:06:150:06:18

I'm heading home, you two can do what you want.

0:06:180:06:20

Just because you're hot doesn't mean I am.

0:06:200:06:23

-C...can I move now?

-No, not yet.

0:06:260:06:30

Now you can. ELEPHANTS GROANS LOUDLY

0:06:330:06:35

ANIMALS LAUGH

0:06:350:06:38

-And you really didn't move until the sun went down.

-Er...

0:06:380:06:41

-Didn't you get a bit bored, old friend?

-No. Ha ha!

0:06:410:06:45

Big head, see? Tiny brain.

0:06:450:06:48

RATTLING

0:06:480:06:49

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:06:490:06:51

Brr brr! It's a bit nippy tonight.

0:06:510:06:53

I'm so hot!

0:06:540:06:57

Hippo, you can't possibly be hot now.

0:06:570:07:00

I am! I'm boiling.

0:07:000:07:02

I'm not meant to be on land with all this hair. I'm really not.

0:07:020:07:06

Hmrph! Right. That's it.

0:07:080:07:10

I'm going for a midnight swim.

0:07:100:07:12

Don't! You can't! Lion will be cross.

0:07:120:07:15

Tickbird is right. You know what Lion said.

0:07:150:07:17

-But...but... ALL:

-No buts!

0:07:170:07:20

Oh! Tortoise, you're the clever one.

0:07:200:07:23

Haven't you got any ideas?

0:07:230:07:25

I'm sorry, Hippo, all out of ideas today. Must be slowing down.

0:07:250:07:29

-You? Slowing down?

-MONKEYS LAUGH

0:07:290:07:31

That's funny, Tortoise.

0:07:310:07:33

Too hot!

0:07:330:07:35

-Come, come, you say too hot too much.

-But I am.

0:07:350:07:39

-We know.

-And I'm sweaty, and I'm sticky and I'm...

0:07:390:07:42

-Go to sleep, people.

-Oh!

0:07:420:07:44

HIPPO CRIES

0:07:440:07:46

Away from the fire.

0:07:460:07:48

That's it, that's it.

0:07:500:07:53

SNORING

0:07:580:08:03

SNORING

0:08:100:08:13

Oh! Whoo!

0:08:200:08:22

Ooh! Wha-wha!

0:08:230:08:24

Help! Help! Ooh!

0:08:240:08:27

Help. Fire!

0:08:270:08:28

Oh! Help, fire!

0:08:290:08:31

-Do something.

-ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

0:08:310:08:33

Roll, Hippo, roll.

0:08:330:08:35

Yeah, roll over.

0:08:350:08:36

Right, that's it!

0:08:380:08:39

HIPPO PANTS

0:08:430:08:44

Oh!

0:08:440:08:46

Whaa-a-a!

0:08:460:08:47

EXCITED CHATTERING

0:08:490:08:51

-Quick, quick, quick!

-Oh.

0:08:510:08:53

Wha! Wha-wha-wha! ANIMALS SIGH WITH RELIEF

0:08:570:09:00

-HIPPO SQUEAKS

-Hippo? Are you all right?

0:09:000:09:03

Never been better!

0:09:030:09:05

For the first time in ages, I don't feel hot at all.

0:09:050:09:09

The water is so cool!

0:09:090:09:13

Hm?

0:09:140:09:16

Argh! Not a single hair on my hide.

0:09:160:09:20

Ooh.

0:09:200:09:21

Come on, Hippo, you know the rules. Water is for fishes.

0:09:220:09:26

-You can come out now, Hippo!

-Come out? But I'm naked.

0:09:280:09:31

-ANIMALS GIGGLE

-We're all sensible animals.

0:09:310:09:35

-(STERNLY) Aren't we, Monkeys?!

-MONKEYS STOP GIGGLING

0:09:350:09:38

Please, Your Majesty,

0:09:380:09:39

I promise I won't eat a single fish if you let me live in the water.

0:09:390:09:44

How can we be sure?

0:09:440:09:46

Every day, from this day on,

0:09:460:09:48

I will open my mouth as wide as I can like this.

0:09:480:09:52

Aargh! As many times a day as I possibly can.

0:09:520:09:56

Aargh!

0:09:560:09:58

For all of you to see that I have not eaten, swallowed

0:09:580:10:02

or indeed harmed a single fish.

0:10:020:10:05

Aargh!

0:10:050:10:08

Hm. Agreed.

0:10:080:10:10

CHEERING

0:10:100:10:12

LAUGHTER AND CHEERS

0:10:120:10:15

Aargh!

0:10:150:10:17

ANIMALS CHUCKLE

0:10:170:10:19

Aargh.

0:10:200:10:21

That's it.

0:10:210:10:23

Look, everyone.

0:10:230:10:25

No fishes!

0:10:250:10:27

HIPPO GARGLES, ANIMALS CHUCKLE

0:10:270:10:31

No hair to hold on to.

0:10:310:10:33

Stop it, Tickbird.

0:10:330:10:35

-Oh! You're tickling me.

-Ooh, slidey...!

0:10:350:10:37

ANIMALS LAUGH

0:10:380:10:41

And that's why Hippo has no hair.

0:10:410:10:43

From the night of the big fire,

0:10:430:10:45

Hippos are allowed to live in the cool waters.

0:10:450:10:49

Oh!

0:10:490:10:51

Whoa!

0:10:510:10:52

SPLASH!

0:10:520:10:53

And Tickbird and our ticks, well, that's a whole other story.
