0:01:14 > 0:01:17Scared you! Scared you! Nothing scares me!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20You see, Bat just loves scaring animals.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Any animal.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Even the most tiniest, teeniest animal of them all.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Bush Baby.- Ah!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Sorry, Bush Baby, I didn't mean to wake you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37That's OK, Monkey.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Jambo, monkeys.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Didn't we scare you?
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Nothing scares me.- I bet you can't scare a really big beast.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I can scare any beast.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- What about Hippo?- Hippos? Easy.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Boo!- Ah!- Bat!- Nasty bat.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Ooh!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Uh?- Ah!- Run for your lives!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Run! Run!- Huh? Huh? What is it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- What is it? What is it?- I don't know but it's big and it's scary!
0:04:58 > 0:05:04Ha...ha...and it's the size of a mountain! Run!
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Whoa...whoa!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- What is it? What is it?- A big scary creature, the size of a mountain!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And eyes as big as the moon!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Wa-la-low! Wa-la-low! Wa-la-la-la-low!

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Run, Tortoise, run!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Easier said than done! What's happening?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28A creature is coming!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- The size of a mountain and eyes as big as the moon!- Ah?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Wa-la-la-la-la-ya!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37A-ka-ya-ya-la-la!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39BAT LAUGHS
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, that is Bat.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Wa-la-la-la-la!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Heh-hee! You should see your faces!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Popo!- Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Bat!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Ha-ha-ha. Ho-ho-ho.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Come back here!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You can't scare me!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07This has got to stop!
0:06:07 > 0:06:13No animal has the right to scare another animal without good reason!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15ALL: Yes, Your Majesty!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Bat must be taught a lesson.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- That's what I said, Your Majesty! - Quiet, Hippo, I'm thinking.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27- Your Majesty?- Tortoise. - May I suggest something?- Mm-hm.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Bat must be taught a lesson.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33(Lion just said that.)
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Oh. Hee-hee. My apologies.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Ahem. Excuse me, but nothing scares Bat. Not even Elephant.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44But Bat has never seen...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47the eye of the storm.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50ALL: The eye of the storm?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Few animals have ever seen it. Lions have the knowledge!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57And only Tortoise and Elephant, the memory of it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:03But once seen, the eye of the storm is never forgotten.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Am I correct, Tortoise?- Mm-hm.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06ALL: Huh?
0:07:06 > 0:07:11It is time. Stand back and do exactly as I say.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16All those with hooves, stamp them loud!
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Like thunder, you stamp, so stamp them LOUD!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26THUNDER RUMBLES
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Ooh, looks like rain.
0:07:28 > 0:07:35No, feathered ones and beasts with wings, beat them strong!
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Like the wings of the wind, so beat them STRONG!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Oh. Whoa!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Whoa! Whoa!
0:07:51 > 0:07:55I'm not scared of a little wind. Nothing scares me!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Whoa!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'll just stay like this, until the storm is over.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Elephant, you know what to do.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Trumpet the skies and herald the rain to begin!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16SLURP
0:08:17 > 0:08:20ELEPHANT TRUMPETS Trumpet loud!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Trumpet strong!
0:08:22 > 0:08:23THUNDER RUMBLES
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's just rain. Nothing to be scared of.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32And finally, lightning! The light of the storm!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Buffalo! Clash your horns!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Whaa!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I'm not scared!
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Ahh!
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Whoa!
0:08:46 > 0:08:47THEY LAUGH
0:08:47 > 0:08:50If that doesn't scare Bat, nothing will!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Ooh...heh...
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Ah!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- THUNDER CLAPS - Ahh!
0:08:59 > 0:09:05- No animal has the right to scare others. It's NOT nature's way.- Mm-hm.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Ahh...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Ohh, that's better.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Bat, where are you?- Bat? - I know he's in here somewhere.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Bat?- Bat!- Sh! There he is.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- There you are, Bat!- We've been looking for you all over the bush!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Come down.- I'm not ever coming down.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46The storm is over.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Just open your eyes and you'll see.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I won't open my eyes! Too scared! Too scared!
0:09:53 > 0:09:58And that is why Bat hangs upside down.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Boo!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Ahh!
0:10:03 > 0:10:04THEY LAUGH
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I think you gave Bat quite a fright.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I didn't mean to.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I don't think Bat will be scaring anyone again in a hurry.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17And Tortoise was right.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23From that day on, Bat became a shy, timid creature, hiding in his cave.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28And he spent so long with his wings over his eyes,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31that he never went out in the sun again.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Ooh, wait for me!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37So, Bush Baby, tell me, how do you scare a bat?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I don't know. How DO you scare a bat?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Just say "Boo!"- Oh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- THEY LAUGH - Monkey!
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Well, it is quite funny when Bush Baby's eyes pop like that!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I can't help it! You scared me! BUSH BABY GIGGLES
0:10:53 > 0:10:58And Busy Baby's big eyes... Well, that's a whole other story!
