0:01:19 > 0:01:22Why are you following me, Monkey?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25I'm just telling the story of why you have dots.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Why I have dots? Now, that is a good story.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32It's full of adventure and bravery,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and a desire to explore!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Hee hee! So here we go. Why Guinea Fowl has dots.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Hippo, dive to the bottom.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And crabs, you all sit one on top of the other,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48until you reach the top.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Ha ha ha ha!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53You heard Guinea Fowl. One on top of the other.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55One on top of the other!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57What is Guinea Fowl doing?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Trying to answer another one of her questions.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Why?- That's good, Elephant!
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Always asking questions. In this case, the question is how?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10How deep is the water hole?
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Ah-ha! That's it, everybody! Now, how many of you are there?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- One hippo and... - One!- Two!- Three!- Four!
0:02:18 > 0:02:22CRABS CONTINUE TO COUNT OUT LOUD
0:02:22 > 0:02:2516! 16 crabs!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Well, that's it then.- That's what?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30That's how deep the water hole is.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Huh?- It's one hippo and 16 crabs deep.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Ah-ha!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38That's brilliant!
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Next!
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Why is it Elephant is so much stronger than Tortoise?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Come on, Tortoise, you can do it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Me trying!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Oh, this is just getting silly.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Try again, Tortoise. We must find out why.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01No, no, no, that's quite enough, thank you.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Why don't you find out why trees are so tall?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Did that yesterday. - Why the sun is so hot?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Did that last week.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Ohhh... Ah-ha! So tell me.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Why does the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shine?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Hmmm? Hmmmm?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Why does it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Mm. Now that is a good question.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Why does the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shine?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32No animal has ever found out the answer.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Then I shall be the first.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39The first animal to find out why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Be careful, Guinea Fowl! It's a very long way away!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oh, I will.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- ALL:- Be careful, Guinea Fowl!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Be careful!

0:04:17 > 0:04:18Hello, Bird.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22The name's Guinea Fowl, actually. I was wondering, Camel,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24if you could give me a ride.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This sand is dreadfully hot!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Ah, yes. Climb on.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Oh! Thank you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36- Ready?- Yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43You're a long way from home.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I'm going to be the first animal who finds out
0:04:47 > 0:04:50why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51That is brave.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's very far away.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, I'm a brave bird.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58And I have to know why.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03That is as far as I go.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05The end of the desert.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Thank you, Camel. Asante.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Good luck, Guinea Fowl!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Be careful!- Oh, I will!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh dear. Oh...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Oh, no, this can't be right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25This is the ocean!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I must have taken a wrong turn.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Ohh! What in Tinga Tinga is that?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Jambo, stranger! I am Whale.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38You must be a very long way from home.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Are you lost?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I am a little lost, actually.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I'm trying to get to the top of Mount Tinga Tinga.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh! That is brave.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I'm going to be the first animal who finds out why
0:05:53 > 0:05:55the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Oooooh!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59But I can't seem to see it any more.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's behind that forest.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- You can't see it because it's covered in cloud.- Oh!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Thank you, Whale.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Very kind of you.- You're welcome.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Be careful! It's a long way!
0:06:16 > 0:06:21I will! Oh, and...what's that big whoosh thing you do?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22It's very clever.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Oh, this?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27That's my spout.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It's very good. Goodbye!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Ah, back on track.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Now to the top of the mountain.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45That's it. Onward and upward!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Imagine - the first animal to find out why
0:06:49 > 0:06:52the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines!

0:07:10 > 0:07:13The whitest carpet of...of...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I don't know what it is.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19It's cold, and it's wet.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21And it's soft.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23But what can it be?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Ohhh! This is why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30SHE CHUCKLES
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Because of all this beautiful white!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Whoo-hoo! Ha ha ha!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Whoo-hoo! Whale! I made it!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'm on the top of the mountain.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And I know why it shines.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Whale? ..Oh, never mind.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Oooh! Now, what in Tinga Tinga can it be?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02# Ooooh, snow... #
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- SHE GASPS - # Oooh, snow
0:08:04 > 0:08:08# Whoa-oa, snow... #
0:08:09 > 0:08:16That's what it is. Beautiful specks of falling snow.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Oh! I can't wait to tell everyone!
0:08:20 > 0:08:25SHE LAUGHS Wheeee!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Snow!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37# Oh, snow! #
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Snow!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Lion, it's been a very long time since we saw Guinea Fowl.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- We'll look for her.- Can we?- Please?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Quiet, Monkeys. This is serious.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Lion, I will fly to the top of the mountain,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59to find Guinea Fowl. She is one of my birds.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Very true, Eagle. Now, enda salama. Go safely.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Where are you, Guinea Fowl?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13SHE WHOOPS
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Snow!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- There you are!- Oh, Eagle!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22We were worried. Now, climb on.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Eagle, I know why the top of Tinga Tinga shines.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33And when I got to the very top,
0:09:33 > 0:09:38the mountain was covered in this beautiful, glistening white.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- ALL:- White?!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43That is why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45This beautiful white!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- THEY GASP - What's it called?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Snow.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Snow! You saw snow!
0:09:52 > 0:09:58Yes, yes! The top of the mountain was covered in snow.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Oh! I mean, I've heard of it, but I've never met any animal
0:10:03 > 0:10:05who has actually seen snow.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11Ha ha ha! Well, I'm the first animal in Tinga Tinga to have seen snow.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13What's it like?
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Well, it falls from the sky, and looks just like my new dots!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Well, it's ever so pretty.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Maybe your dots are made of snow.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29How wonderful! My dots are made from falling snow.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32And that's why Guinea Fowl has dots.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- What else did you see?- What else?
0:10:34 > 0:10:39At the ocean, I met this wonderfully big animal called Whale.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42And she spouts, like this...
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Whoosh!
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- Why?- Oh, no. I completely forgot to ask her!
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I must find out why Whale spouts.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54THEY ALL LAUGH
0:10:54 > 0:10:58And Whale and her spout? That's a whole different story!
