0:01:07 > 0:01:08MONKEYS LAUGH
0:01:08 > 0:01:10You see, there was a time
0:01:10 > 0:01:13when Bushbaby didn't have big eyes. Ha-ha!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Oh, it's Bushbaby.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Now, which way was it? Was it this way?
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Or was it that way?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- ALL: Jambo, Bushbaby! - Jambo, monkeys.- Are you lost?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Me? Lost? Ha-ha-ha! No, why?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31You are looking everywhere.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34And saying, "Now, which way is it?"
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So, we thought maybe you were lost.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Me? Lost? Ha-ha!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I'm not lost, oh no!
0:01:40 > 0:01:45But Bushbaby's eyes were so small that she was always getting lost.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Even though she'd never admit it!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- ELEPHANT CALL - That's Elephant,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51it must be important.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Yes, we must go immediately!
0:01:53 > 0:01:59- Wrong way, Bushbaby. Ha-ha-ha! - Ha-ha-ha!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01ELEPHANT CALLS
0:02:01 > 0:02:06I've never seen anything like it on all my travels. What is it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11- What is it?- Well, it's just a very big hole, Guinea Fowl.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Ooh, a very big new hole!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16With lots of LOVELY fresh mud!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18ALL LAUGH
0:02:18 > 0:02:20But it wasn't here yesterday
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and big holes don't just appear.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27Where did it come from, Your Majesty? Who made it? And why?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Too many questions! Too many questions!
0:02:29 > 0:02:35Guinea Fowl is right, big holes like this don't just appear overnight.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37This is the work of...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40...Majitu!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41ALL: Majitu?!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Majitu?!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, Tortoise!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Majitu is just an old tale
0:02:46 > 0:02:48about a big giant,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50who used to roam about Tinga Tinga.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- It doesn't exist!- Ahem!
0:02:52 > 0:02:58I hate to interrupt, Your Majesty, but from up here, that hole
0:02:58 > 0:03:03does look very much like the footprint of a very large beast.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07The footprint of a GIANT beast!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09A giant beast?! Oh!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11There's a giant in Tinga Tinga!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14A giant...a giant! Gulp.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Not just any giant - MAJITU -
0:03:18 > 0:03:21the great giant of Tinga Tinga!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Go on, Tortoise, this is fascinating.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Majitu is so big, he makes Elephant look like the size of a flea!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29ALL: Ooh!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32So tall, he makes Giraffe look like the size of a tiny ant!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- ALL: Huh?!- Oh! Gulp.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37So scary, he makes...
0:03:37 > 0:03:43Thank you, Tortoise, but no beast has ever seen this giant, Majitu.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44As I said,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46it's just an old Tinga Tinga tale.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48If no beast has ever seen him,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50then he can't exist.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- ALL: Hm. - Well said, Bushbaby.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now, lets just get on with our day.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58News! Big news!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Trees have fallen in the forest,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02and no bird knows why.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Aha! Majitu, the giant!
0:04:04 > 0:04:06There's a giant, a giant!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Stop saying that! Stop saying giant!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Elephant, we won't see Majitu -
0:04:11 > 0:04:13giants don't exist!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Precisely, lets just go and see, shall we?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Come on, Bushbaby!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Come on, come on!- Hm, let's go.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24# It must have been a giant It must have been a giant.#
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Did any bird see a giant?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31# No, we didn't see a giant We didn't see a giant. #
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Well, if you can't see him, he doesn't exist.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Quite right, Bushbaby.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Giants don't exist!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42But who could do such a thing to such big trees?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Majitu!
0:04:43 > 0:04:47It is said that Majitu, the giant, is so big,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50he can walk around the world in a single day.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51ALL GASP
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Uh-huh, knocking down trees and squashing...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Stop this nonsense, Tortoise!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58SLURP!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01What in Tinga Tinga was that?!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hm, hm, hmm.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Come on! Let's go and see.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Bushbaby, what if Majitu is real?
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Look, no-one has ever seen this Majitu, so he can't be real.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Oh, no! The water hole is empty!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Who could have drunk so much water?- Majitu?
0:05:21 > 0:05:26A giant so big that he could swallow an ocean in a single go!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Oh, no! There's a giant, there's a giant! Here's here!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Calm down!
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Yes, Lion.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Now, listen, everyone.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39This is getting silly!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Giants do not exist.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44If you can't see him, he's not real!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I've NEVER seen anything like this.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50If Majitu exists, we have to see him.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Agreed?- Yes, Your Majesty. - Hm-hm.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58So, we'll start at the top of the mountain.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Oh, we're sure to spot Majitu from up here, all right.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Lets look, shall we?
0:06:05 > 0:06:06You see?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10A few wildebeest...a river...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12All is at peace in Tinga Tinga.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14No giants anywhere to be seen.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Perhaps Majitu doesn't exist after all.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Told you!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22If you can't see him, he's not real.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23He could be hiding!
0:06:23 > 0:06:27And where could a giant as big as Majitu hide?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29In the great cave!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, let's go and see, shall we?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Yes, let's go!- Do we have to?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Oh, we're never going to see a giant, are we?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- That's because they... - "Don't exist!".- We know.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I must admit,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49even I am beginning to have my doubts.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50- Oh!- Ah!
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Oh!- Ah!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Ahh!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Calm down, calm down! It's just Bat!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Phew! That was a bit scary.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01You're telling me! What are you doing?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Waiting for Majitu the giant!
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Majitu the giant?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07We think he might be in your cave.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08In my cave?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11There is no giant in my cave.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14That's because if you can't see him,
0:07:14 > 0:07:15he doesn't exist.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, thank goodness for that!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well, animals?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23We have searched the whole of Tinga Tinga,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25and there is no sign of a giant.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Tortoise?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Majitu the giant does not exist.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I told you!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Thank you, Tortoise.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37I suggest we all get a good night's sleep.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- Well, I might have got a little carried away.- Giants! Hee-hee-hee.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Well, I'm glad Majitu doesn't exist.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Me too.- Me three!- Me four.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Ha-ha-ha! Now, which way is it back to my nest?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Bushbaby, do you want us to take you home?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57No, thank you!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Well, be careful of Majitu then! Woo!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03THEY LAUGH.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I told you, giants don't exist! Ha-ha-ha.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Hm, now, I'm sure it was this way.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Hm, or was it that way?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Wha...? What was that?!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Looked like some very big feet.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Hee-hee, don't be silly! It's my tiny eyes playing tricks.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Now, I'm sure it's this way.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yes, this way.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Hm?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Is that Majitu the giant?!
0:08:53 > 0:08:54No, no, no, no!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You're just seeing things.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Giants don't exist!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Ha, giants don't exist,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04giants don't exist...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07..giants don't exist,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10giants don't exist.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Ah! That's Majitu!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I thought you said giants didn't exist!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17They don't.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Giants don't exist at all!
0:09:19 > 0:09:20SLURP!
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Huh?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29HE SMACKS HIS LIPS
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Huh! Majitu!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I see him. I see Majitu!
0:09:37 > 0:09:38SLURP!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Oh! Ho-ho-ho-ho!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Hello! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Giants DO exist!
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Majitu the giant DOES exist!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Hee-hee-hee.- Bye bye!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Bye, Majitu!- Ho-ho-ho-ho.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Bye-bye, Majitu! Ha-ha-ha.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Everybody, everybody -
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I've seen Majitu the giant!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I saw Majitu!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I saw him with my very own eyes!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Don't be silly, Bushbaby! Ha!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Your eyes do look big enough to have seen a giant.- Yes, they do.
0:10:20 > 0:10:26That's because I saw Majitu! He was very, very big, and very nice, too.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- And that is why Bushbaby has big eyes!- Ha-ha-ha!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33From the day she saw Majitu the giant,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36her eyes became as big as planets.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39He had these big, big feet! Ha-ha.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41That's enough, Bushbaby.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43If you don't believe me, ask Bat.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Bat saw him too.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Did you see the giant?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Yes, he was the size of a mountain! - Hm-mm.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- See, I told you!- Too scared!- Ha-ha!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57And Bat in his cave?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Well, that's a whole other story! Ha-ha-ha!
