0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Why Parrot can't keep a secret! - Hee-hee-hee!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Jambo, Parrot!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13But, you see, there was a time
0:01:13 > 0:01:17when Parrot was the best keeper of secrets in Tinga Tinga.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22So you won't tell Crocodile that you're going to pull his tail?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Mm-mm!- You promise you won't tell? - Mm!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Is that a "mm" yes?- Or a "mm-mm" no? - Mm-mm. Mm.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Parrot couldn't open his beak,
0:01:33 > 0:01:38so the animals didn't mind if Parrot overheard their secrets
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- because he never said a word. - Mm-mm!- Bye-bye, Parrot.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Kwaheri.- Poor Parrot.- Oh.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48One, two, three, four...
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Er, now, what comes after four? Er...
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Let me try again.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57One, two, three, four,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Parrot. Parrot?! Parrot doesn't come after four!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03You should have said something.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- Mm-mm!- Sorry, Parrot. You can't say something. Silly me.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Big head, see? Tiny brain. RATTLING
0:02:12 > 0:02:14THEY LAUGH
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Don't tell anyone, but I'm trying to teach myself counting.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21It's our little secret.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Wanyama! Animals!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- ANIMALS!- That's Lion. He sounds angry.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Come on.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33WHERE IS EVERYONE? I want every beast here!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- What's going on? - I'm coming, Your Majesty!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38What is it? Oh, my goodness!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Some beast has stolen my mane!
0:02:41 > 0:02:45This is not nature's way. Does anyone know who took it?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- Mm-mm.- No.- No.- Who would dare do such a thing?- Shocking!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52No-one has seen ANYTHING?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- We haven't. - We haven't seen anything.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58How can I be king without my mane?
0:02:58 > 0:03:05Your Majesty, we will search the entire land until we find your mane.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- We will search tree tops. - And the water holes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14- We will check in every burrow. - And look under every rock.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Come on.- We'll find it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Your Majesty?- Please, don't look at me like this.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Don't worry. We will find your mane.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Thank you, Leopard. Asante.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32- Mm-mm!- Such a beautiful cat, Leopard, with such beautiful spots.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Maybe she won't like me any more.- Mm-mm!
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- But that's just between you and me. Not a word.- Mm-hm!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Nothing up here!
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Dear me, nothing in the tree tops.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Meerkat, can you see anything?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Nothing on the plains, but always on the lookout.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Aardvark, can you see anything?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Nothing underground.- This is not good. This is not good at all.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I've never seen Lion so angry. Do YOU think Lion was angry?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Ooh! Yes, he was really angry. - Oops, sorry, Tortoise.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Well, if you ask me, Lion looked quite plain without his mane.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Peacock! You shouldn't say things like that!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Some beast could hear you!
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Funny how you take away the mane, you take away the king.- Mmmmmm!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Parrot's right there!
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Oh, don't worry about Parrot! Parrot can't tell anyone anything!
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Mm!- Can't open his beak.- Mm-hm!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50ANIMALS LAUGHING
0:04:52 > 0:04:57I stole Lion's mane while he was snoring underneath a tree!
0:04:57 > 0:04:58THEY LAUGH
0:04:58 > 0:05:04- How does it look?- It suits you, Hyena. Oh, sorry, Your Majesty!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06You look quite the king.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08THEY LAUGH
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Mm?
0:05:09 > 0:05:16It is nature's way, my friends! I am the new king of Tinga Tinga!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Let me try! Let me try!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Mm-hm!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Hyena! It's Parrot! He has seen us! - Don't worry about Parrot!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- He won't tell anyone! - He CAN'T tell anyone.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I want a go!
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Give me a go!
0:05:39 > 0:05:44No, no, no, no, no. Let's hide the mane then we can all be king.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Crocodile, come here.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- There you go.- No-one will ever find it! Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Without his mane, Lion can't be king!
0:05:58 > 0:06:04- We don't want Lion to be king ever again!- No!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Let's hide in the swamps.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Oh, and, Parrot...
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Keep your beak shut! HA!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Mm-hm! Mm!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Keep looking!- Mm-mm-mm-mm! Mm-mm-mm-mm!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Sorry, Parrot. I can't understand you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Mm! Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Sorry.- Hm.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Keep looking, keep looking!
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Parrot, this is no time for games.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- We have to find this mane! - Mm-hm-mm!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47MM-MM!
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Oh, Lion's going to stay angry forever.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Huh?- Sorry, Parrot. We can't understand you.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06What will Lion do if we can't find his mane?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- I don't know.- Let's have some coconuts before we look again.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Jambo, Parrot.- Jambo, Parrot.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I know! It's really hard, this coconut.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Mm-mm!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Mm-hm-hm! Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Well, if you want to try and open it, karibu, please do.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Mm-hm-hm, hm-hm-hm!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Yes, you've got a hard beak. - You have a go.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Mm-hm-hm-hm!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Mm-mm!- Go on, you try and open it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Mm-hm-hm-hm!

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Say something, Parrot! - I'VE FOUND THE MANE!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I know where Lion's mane is!
0:08:17 > 0:08:21What are we waiting for? Tell Lion straightaway!
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Yes, let's!- A-ha!- Come on!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Haraka! Haraka! Quickly!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Mm! I know where it is! - ANIMALS GASP
0:08:29 > 0:08:33A-ha! In the middle of those rocks, Your Majesty!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37your mane is underneath those branches! Mm-hm! Mm-hm!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Hm.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48A-ha! I am king of Tinga Tinga!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Hooray! Whoo-hoo!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Parrot, I cannot thank you enough.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You have done your king a great service.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01And do you know who stole my mane?
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Mm-hm! It was Hyena and Jackal and Crocodile and Lizard!
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- And where are these scoundrels? - They're hiding in the swamp!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Hyena! Jackal! Lizard! Crocodile!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Show your faces before the king!
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- And they said they wanted to be king of Tinga Tinga.- Did they now?- Mm-hm!
0:09:25 > 0:09:31We'll have to show them there is only on king of Tinga Tinga!
0:09:31 > 0:09:32ROAR!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Ah! I'm so sorry, Your Majesty!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- That will teach them. - Show them, Your Majesty.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41You have done extremely well, Parrot.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Thank you, Your Majesty. But there's more!- Go on...
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Peacock thought you looked quite plain without your mane.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Did he now?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- But... But... But... But... - No buts, Peacock.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00- Anything else?- Well, poor old Elephant here can't count.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- And he's too embarrassed to tell anyone.- Parrot! That was our secret.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Elephant, why didn't you tell me?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I'll help you count. That's what friends are for.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Oh, thank you, Tortoise. Asante. - ALL: Aww!
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- The monkeys are going to pull Crocodile's tail...- Sh! Parrot!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25We've started something we may come to regret.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30So you see, Parrot was so pleased to have helped Lion,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34that he couldn't stop. That's why Parrot can't keep a secret.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Ooh! And there's one more thing!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Lion was really worried.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43He thought Leopard wouldn't like him any more without his mane!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Shh! Yes, yes, yes, Parrot. Thank you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Ooh.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I'll always like Lion. Ha-ha!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56And lovely Leopard and her beautiful spots?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Well, that's a whole other story! Hee-hee!
