0:01:04 > 0:01:06This story's all about me. Hee-hee!

0:01:06 > 0:01:11You see, we didn't always swing in the trees, you know.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15We used to stay on the ground and play.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17THEY GIGGLE

0:01:17 > 0:01:20R-rah!

0:01:20 > 0:01:23And we loved taunting Crocodile.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24R-rah!

0:01:24 > 0:01:26MONKEYS GIGGLE

0:01:26 > 0:01:30Careful, monkeys. If you keep pulling that end,

0:01:30 > 0:01:33you will find that the other end has teeth!

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Agh! Monkeys! Gr-r-r!

0:01:35 > 0:01:37MONKEYS GIGGLE

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Crocodile!

0:01:41 > 0:01:45Me - one of the scariest animals in Tinga Tinga!

0:01:45 > 0:01:49What's up, Croc, my friend? You look snappier than normal.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54I'm fed up to the teeth with those mischievous monkeys. R-rah!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56You need a monkey plan, Croc.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01Something to show those monkeys who's the boss around here.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Something you can really get your teeth into.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Like what?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Um, I'll get back to you on that, Croc.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12R-r-rah!

0:02:12 > 0:02:15B-b-b...! Eh, don't snap at me!

0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'm on YOUR side, remember?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20If you come up with a good plan soon,

0:02:20 > 0:02:24then maybe I will reward you with an egg or two for your supper.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26OK, it's a deal, Croc!

0:02:26 > 0:02:29But if you call me "Croc" one more time,

0:02:29 > 0:02:31I may just have YOU for my supper!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35- R-r-ah!- OK, keep your teeth in!

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Gr-r-r!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ah-ha! Big grey clouds.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44That means the rain is here.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49And big rain! Better tell all the animals. And quick.

0:02:49 > 0:02:54There's rain! And big rains a-comin', mm-hm! Rains a-comin'!

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Big rains a-comin'!

0:02:59 > 0:03:02The clouds are nearly upon us,

0:03:02 > 0:03:06which means every animal must find shelter.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10I knew Lion was going to say that. He always says that.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- You always say that.- Say what? - "I knew Lion was going to say that."

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Monkeys, will you stop chattering?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20And keep away from that mango tree.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Remember the last time the rains came?

0:03:23 > 0:03:28The river rose and you got stuck up the mango tree, didn't you?

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Mm.- Well, don't let it happen again.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- ALL:- We knew he was going to say that!

0:03:35 > 0:03:38THUNDER RUMBLES

0:03:38 > 0:03:43Everybody's gone. They've all gone to hide from the rains. Hee-hee!

0:03:43 > 0:03:45And you know that THAT means!

0:03:45 > 0:03:49- I know what that means. - I know what that means, too.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52ALL: More mangoes for us! Hee-hee!

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Nice one! Now I have a really good plan.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01That means eggs for supper! Hee-hee!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Hmm.- Hey, Croc. Croc,

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Lion says the big rain is coming.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Remember the last time? The monkeys got stuck?

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- I do, I do!- Hee-hee!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Remember how the monkeys can't swim?

0:04:16 > 0:04:19And this time there's nobody to save them!

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Except us.- Us? Why would WE save them?

0:04:23 > 0:04:27You could tell them that you will take them across the river

0:04:27 > 0:04:31and save them, but that would be a very good moment to catch them.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Ha-ha! Now, that is a very good plan.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37So what are we wating for?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41THAT is what we are waiting for, Croc -

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- the rain.- Mm-hm. Ha-ha!

0:04:44 > 0:04:48And I'd lay off the smiling, Croc, if I were you.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50It makes you look nasty.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52I AM nasty. Ha-ha!

0:04:52 > 0:04:56OK, OK, keep your teeth in!

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Ah-ha! Ribbit!

0:04:58 > 0:05:02# I love the rain, it makes me cool

0:05:02 > 0:05:06# I love the rain But I'm cool enough already

0:05:06 > 0:05:09# We love the rain, It makes things grow

0:05:09 > 0:05:14# I love the rain But I'm grown enough already

0:05:14 > 0:05:18# Can't sing, can't sing It's too much to sing

0:05:18 > 0:05:20# Let's sing, let's sing!

0:05:20 > 0:05:23# You've sung enough already

0:05:23 > 0:05:26# We love the rain

0:05:27 > 0:05:29# We love the rain

0:05:30 > 0:05:32# The rain... #

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Oh, look at all those mangoes!

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Let's get busy!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Mangoes!- Mangoes!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53There they are! Stranded, just like I said.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Mm-hm.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Look at that juicy big mango!

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Let's save the best one for last.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04No, no, no. We should eat the best one first and the worst one last.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08I thought it was the first one worst and the last one best.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Now that's just silly! ..Ooh!

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Uh-oh!- Now we've been really silly!

0:06:19 > 0:06:20ALL: Help!

0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Somebody save us!- We're stuck in a tree!- Help!

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Did I hear a monkey calling for help?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I do believe you did! Hee-hee!

0:06:31 > 0:06:34And not just ONE monkey calling for help, but THREE!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Jambo, monkeys. Stranded up the tree again?

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Hm.- Yes.- What a terrible shame.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45I am sure my friend, Crocodile, will take you back to dry land.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Ah-ha. But only one at a time. - What?

0:06:48 > 0:06:54You'd help US, Crocodile? After all the times we've pulled your tail?

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Gr-r-r-r...!

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Oh, Croc knows that was just a bit of fun, don't you, Croc?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- R-r-ra...- So, who's first?

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Me! Me!

0:07:03 > 0:07:07(Wait for the last one, the big cheeky one.)

0:07:07 > 0:07:09(Save the best till last.)

0:07:09 > 0:07:13See you on the other side. Save a mango for me!

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- BOTH:- Will do.

0:07:16 > 0:07:21Well, little monkey, it's a beautiful wet day here at the water hole.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24And, believe it or not, this IS the water hole!

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Dry land!

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Woo-hoo, Crocodile!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Save a mango for me!

0:07:32 > 0:07:33OK.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37And over there, that's where Lion found his roar!

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Oh, yes. Good times, good times.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Jambo, Monkey.- R-r-rr!

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Haraka, haraka! Hurry, hurry!

0:07:46 > 0:07:48The water is up to my feet!

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Uh-uh-uh! Not so fast, Monkey.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Crocodile is a kind beast, wouldn't you agree?

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Oh, yes, Lizard.- So you understand why it hurts Crocodile

0:07:59 > 0:08:02when you treat him with disrespect.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Disrespect? Hee-hee!

0:08:05 > 0:08:07THAT'S exactly what I mean!

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Now, you just apologise to Crocodile right now.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Dear, dear Crocodile, I'm very, very sorry.

0:08:14 > 0:08:19And I will try never to do it again, ever, never, ever.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Apologies are all very well and good

0:08:22 > 0:08:26but this time Crocodile wants something...more.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Of course - anything! Just tell me what it is.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Crocodile...

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Hmm. Your heart.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- My heart?- Hmm.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Well, why didn't you say so? If it's my heart that you want,

0:08:41 > 0:08:46you must both promise to turn your heads and look the other way.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51I don't want you to see me take my heart out, do I?

0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Oh, no, no, no!- That would be nasty. - THEY CHUCKLE

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Oh...! Eeh...! Oh...!

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Ah...! Ready.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Ah!- Uh-uh! Not so fast, Crocodile.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11First you must take me on your back to the other side.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15Then I will give you my heart. ..Oh, quickly! Oh!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17I haven't got long!

0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Karibu, Monkey, welcome! - Oh, thank you.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Ooh! ..Oh!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Hmm.- Oh!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, no!

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- There.- Oh!

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Here's...my heart! Oh!

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Now, thank you, dear friends. Oh!

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Remember me...to everyone.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Tell them...- R-r-rah!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- HE SPITS IT OUT - This isn't a heart!

0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's a mango!

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Sorry, Crocodile - I didn't have the HEART to tell you!

0:10:00 > 0:10:02THEY LAUGH

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Huh? R-r-r-r...!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Better eat it all up! And make it snappy!

0:10:08 > 0:10:09R-r-rah!

0:10:09 > 0:10:11THEY GIGGLE

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- R-r-rah!- That mango broke my heart!

0:10:15 > 0:10:20And YOU are all just as bad, always taking the side of the monkeys!

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Oh, come on, Croc! Don't be so heartless!

0:10:25 > 0:10:28We could have a heart-to-heart about it!

0:10:28 > 0:10:34And from that day on, we never really trusted Crocodile again.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38- And that's why monkeys swing in the trees.- R-r-rah!

0:10:38 > 0:10:41THEY LAUGH

0:10:41 > 0:10:44One day I'll get that monkey - and the rest of you!

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Oh, come on, you've got to see the funny side, Croc!

0:10:48 > 0:10:53- And don't call me "Croc"! R-r-rah! - OK, OK, keep your teeth in!

0:10:53 > 0:10:56And Lizard running about all over the place?

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Well, that's a whole other story.
