0:01:22 > 0:01:24And was it big!

0:01:24 > 0:01:27I better get out of here.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Oh, dear. these are the biggest waves I've ever seen!

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Ooh! I can't seem to...

0:01:35 > 0:01:37swim very well.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41And I keep swallowing lots of water!

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh, dear!

0:01:45 > 0:01:52These are big, big wa-a-a-a-ves!

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Haraka! Quickly! There is a big storm coming!

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Everyone, hold onto something or find shelter.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01I am holding!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Do not get blown away!

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Sit on me, Elephant! Sit on me!

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Are you sure?- Do it now!- OK.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Thank you, Elephant!- My pleasure.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20What's happening?

0:02:23 > 0:02:29The wind is too strong! Follow me, birds!

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Chameleon? Chameleon? Where are you?

0:02:34 > 0:02:40- What a storm!- Grab my horns. - Thank you, Giraffe. Asante!

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Oh, dear. I'm filling up with water.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48These waves are just too big!

0:02:48 > 0:02:55# Ride the wave, ride the wave Don't worry, don't worry... #

0:02:55 > 0:03:02That's not the ocean! That's land! What am I going to do?!

0:03:02 > 0:03:09- # Ride the wave, ride the wave... # - Here I go. Ride the wave!

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Ride the wa-a-a-ave!

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Huh? Whoa!- Whoa!

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Ride the wave!- Whoa! Whoa!

0:03:38 > 0:03:39TOOT!

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Hm. What happened to the ocean?

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- It's got very small. - TOOT!

0:03:46 > 0:03:51Ooh. What a strange place.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Look! What is that? - I don't understand!

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Taking up all of our water hole!

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- I've never seen anything so big! - It's bigger than me!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02TOOT! TOOT!

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- I've swallowed too much water. - TOOT!

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- I can hardly move. - Get this big thing off me!

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Sorry.- Argh!

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Ugh!

0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'm going to snap it.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Then again...maybe...I won't.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20TOOT!

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- It looks like a big fish with a horn.- Jambo, everyone.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Where am I?- You are in Tinga Tinga. I am Lion.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33Well, jambo, Lion. I am Nyangumi. I am Whale...

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- TOOT! - ..from the ocean.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- HE CHUCKLES - I knew it was a fish!

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Not a fish. A whale.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- A whale.- A whale. - A whale with a horn.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49- How strange.- And you have come all the way from the ocean?

0:04:49 > 0:04:55Mm. A big wave picked me up and here I am, stranded.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58And I'd really like to get home.

0:04:58 > 0:05:04- Ohh. That's not nice, being away from home.- We must do something.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Do you think YOU could help me back to the ocean?

0:05:07 > 0:05:11May I suggest we all push Whale back to the river?

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- then she can swim home to the ocean.- May we?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ohh. Would you mind?

0:05:17 > 0:05:22Wanyama! Animals! Everyone push as hard as you can!

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Yes, Your Majesty.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28THEY STRAIN

0:05:29 > 0:05:35I'm too full of water. I can't move! I'm never going to get home!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Yes, you will. Tortoise will think of something.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Don't you worry. He always thinks of something. Tortoise?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Right, right, right. Mm-hm. Erm...

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Erm...

0:05:48 > 0:05:51OK... Mmm...

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Um...

0:05:54 > 0:05:55Won't be long now.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58you see, Tortoise has got this tiny head, see,

0:05:58 > 0:06:00but this really big brain,

0:06:00 > 0:06:04whereas me, I've got this really big head, see,

0:06:04 > 0:06:06but this tiny brain. Look.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07- RATTLING - Ha-ha!

0:06:07 > 0:06:08TOOT!

0:06:08 > 0:06:11You've got a big head. Have you got a tiny brain too?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Oh, I don't know! - SHE CHUCKLES

0:06:14 > 0:06:16TOOT!

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- My head feels really funny. - TOOT!

0:06:19 > 0:06:24Sorry about that. You've got a very pretty horn, though.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Don't be silly, Elephant!

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- I don't have a horn! - TOOT!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- But...- Whales don't have horns! - TOOT!

0:06:32 > 0:06:35But... Er... Er... Er... Never mind.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40You get some sleep. Tortoise will definitely think of something.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Won't you, Tortoise?- Trying my best, Elephant. Trying my best.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Whale is so full of water, no beast can move her.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53She is too big to stay and too big to go.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55What are we going to do?

0:06:55 > 0:06:59I'll think of something. I'll think of SOMETHING.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Why don't you stay with us in Tinga Tinga?

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Oh, Elephant, I'd love to, but I can't!

0:07:05 > 0:07:06TOOT!

0:07:06 > 0:07:11Look. The hot sand is making my wet skin all dry and crinkly.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Don't worry. I know what to do.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16I get crinkly skin too.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17Hang on.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- There. Is that better?- Oh, yes!

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Thank you, Elephant.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29We need a plan today, Tortoise.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Now, what can we do, what can we do?

0:07:32 > 0:07:36Heh-heh. It's quite nice being big - you can eat loads.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40- And you can make lots of noise. - THEY LAUGH

0:07:40 > 0:07:44But do you find that you can't fit into tiny spaces?

0:07:44 > 0:07:45TOOT!

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm so big and so full of water,

0:07:47 > 0:07:52I don't think I'll fit into any space ever again!

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Whale is so full of water...

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Ohh! Something's coming, something's coming!

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Quickly, Tortoise! Quickly!

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Nearly...nearly.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03Don't worry, Whale.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05I'll give you another whoosh.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09A-HA! That's it! A spout!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Whale needs a spout!

0:08:12 > 0:08:17That way, Whale will be able to whoosh out all of the water in her,

0:08:17 > 0:08:19just like Elephant.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- That's brilliant!- And how am I going to do that?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Out of your horn!

0:08:25 > 0:08:27But I don't HAVE a horn.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yes, you do!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- No, I don't! - ALL: Yes, you do!

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- TOOT! - Whales don't have horns.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Do you mind if I just...

0:08:40 > 0:08:43THEY LAUGH

0:08:47 > 0:08:49You can whoosh like me, Whale.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's called spouting!

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Well, I like this!

0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Spouting!- I can spout out all the water!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Do it again! Do it again!

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Do it again. Do the spouting thing again.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Ooh!

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:09:18 > 0:09:23My head feels better now and I'm not full of water.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24THEY LAUGH

0:09:24 > 0:09:26But our water hole IS!

0:09:27 > 0:09:30And now you can swim to the river!

0:09:30 > 0:09:32And from the river to the ocean!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34ALL: Back to your home!

0:09:34 > 0:09:39- But I don't want Whale to go. - I'll be going home, Elephant.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41You want me to go home, don't you?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Yes, I do. I do, but...

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Can I wave you goodbye?

0:09:46 > 0:09:47I'd like that.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49THEY LAUGH

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Come on, then. What are we waiting for?

0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Going home now. Come on. - One, two, three.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Ooh! I'm home!

0:10:02 > 0:10:08Thank you, everyone. And thank YOU, Elephant, for making my new spout.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Karibu. You're welcome.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Whenever I spout, I'll think of you.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19Aww! OK, then. You spout and then I'll wave goodbye.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22Bye-bye, Whale!

0:10:22 > 0:10:25ALL: Bye!

0:10:25 > 0:10:28And that's why Whale spouts!

0:10:28 > 0:10:33And now, because of her big spout, you can spot her in the ocean, too!

0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Thank you!- I'll miss that whale.

0:10:37 > 0:10:42Never mind, Elephant. You can think of HER every time YOU whoosh!

0:10:42 > 0:10:43That's brilliant!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Watch out, everyone!

0:10:47 > 0:10:51- I'm going to whoosh you! - Don't do it! Ohh!

0:10:53 > 0:10:56And Elephant and his trunk?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Hee-hee-hee!
