-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. #

-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:01:00

Always ask questions, Monkey!

0:01:040:01:07

How, what, when, where, why?

0:01:090:01:12

Always ask questions!

0:01:120:01:14

You see, there was a time when Guinea Fowl didn't have dots.

0:01:140:01:18

Why are you following me, Monkey?

0:01:190:01:22

I'm just telling the story of why you have dots.

0:01:220:01:25

Why I have dots? Now, that is a good story.

0:01:250:01:29

It's full of adventure and bravery,

0:01:290:01:32

and a desire to explore!

0:01:320:01:35

Hee hee! So here we go. Why Guinea Fowl has dots.

0:01:350:01:39

Hippo, dive to the bottom.

0:01:410:01:43

And crabs, you all sit one on top of the other,

0:01:430:01:46

until you reach the top.

0:01:460:01:48

Ha ha ha ha!

0:01:480:01:49

You heard Guinea Fowl. One on top of the other.

0:01:490:01:53

One on top of the other!

0:01:530:01:55

What is Guinea Fowl doing?

0:01:550:01:57

Trying to answer another one of her questions.

0:01:570:02:00

-Why?

-That's good, Elephant!

0:02:000:02:02

Always asking questions. In this case, the question is how?

0:02:020:02:07

How deep is the water hole?

0:02:070:02:10

Ah-ha! That's it, everybody! Now, how many of you are there?

0:02:100:02:15

-One hippo and...

-One!

-Two!

-Three!

-Four!

0:02:150:02:18

CRABS CONTINUE TO COUNT OUT LOUD

0:02:180:02:22

16! 16 crabs!

0:02:220:02:25

-Well, that's it then.

-That's what?

0:02:250:02:28

That's how deep the water hole is.

0:02:280:02:30

-Huh?

-It's one hippo and 16 crabs deep.

0:02:300:02:35

Ah-ha!

0:02:350:02:36

That's brilliant!

0:02:360:02:38

Next!

0:02:380:02:39

Why is it Elephant is so much stronger than Tortoise?

0:02:390:02:44

Come on, Tortoise, you can do it.

0:02:460:02:49

Me trying!

0:02:490:02:50

Oh, this is just getting silly.

0:02:520:02:54

Try again, Tortoise. We must find out why.

0:02:540:02:58

No, no, no, that's quite enough, thank you.

0:02:580:03:01

Why don't you find out why trees are so tall?

0:03:010:03:05

-Did that yesterday.

-Why the sun is so hot?

0:03:050:03:08

Did that last week.

0:03:080:03:10

Ohhh... Ah-ha! So tell me.

0:03:100:03:13

Why does the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shine?

0:03:130:03:16

Hmmm? Hmmmm?

0:03:160:03:19

Why does it?

0:03:200:03:23

Mm. Now that is a good question.

0:03:230:03:25

Why does the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shine?

0:03:250:03:29

No animal has ever found out the answer.

0:03:290:03:32

Then I shall be the first.

0:03:320:03:34

The first animal to find out why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.

0:03:340:03:39

Be careful, Guinea Fowl! It's a very long way away!

0:03:400:03:44

Oh, I will.

0:03:440:03:46

-ALL:

-Be careful, Guinea Fowl!

0:03:460:03:49

Be careful!

0:03:490:03:51

How exciting! What an adventure!

0:03:520:03:55

Why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.

0:03:550:03:58

Oh... SHE CHUCKLES

0:03:580:04:01

CAMEL CHEWS AND SPITS

0:04:020:04:04

Oh, oh, hot...

0:04:050:04:07

Eee! So very hot. Oooh!

0:04:070:04:09

Ah, Camel.

0:04:090:04:11

Hello, Bird.

0:04:170:04:18

The name's Guinea Fowl, actually. I was wondering, Camel,

0:04:180:04:22

if you could give me a ride.

0:04:220:04:24

This sand is dreadfully hot!

0:04:240:04:27

Ah, yes. Climb on.

0:04:270:04:30

Oh! Thank you.

0:04:300:04:33

-Ready?

-Yes.

0:04:350:04:36

You're a long way from home.

0:04:400:04:43

I'm going to be the first animal who finds out

0:04:430:04:47

why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.

0:04:470:04:50

That is brave.

0:04:500:04:51

It's very far away.

0:04:510:04:54

Well, I'm a brave bird.

0:04:540:04:56

And I have to know why.

0:04:560:04:58

That is as far as I go.

0:05:010:05:03

The end of the desert.

0:05:030:05:05

Thank you, Camel. Asante.

0:05:050:05:08

Good luck, Guinea Fowl!

0:05:080:05:11

-Be careful!

-Oh, I will!

0:05:110:05:14

Very brave.

0:05:150:05:17

Oh dear. Oh...

0:05:190:05:21

Oh, no, this can't be right.

0:05:210:05:23

This is the ocean!

0:05:230:05:25

I must have taken a wrong turn.

0:05:260:05:29

Ohh! What in Tinga Tinga is that?

0:05:300:05:33

Jambo, stranger! I am Whale.

0:05:330:05:36

You must be a very long way from home.

0:05:360:05:38

Are you lost?

0:05:390:05:41

I am a little lost, actually.

0:05:410:05:43

I'm trying to get to the top of Mount Tinga Tinga.

0:05:430:05:47

Oh! That is brave.

0:05:470:05:49

I'm going to be the first animal who finds out why

0:05:490:05:53

the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.

0:05:530:05:55

Oooooh!

0:05:550:05:57

But I can't seem to see it any more.

0:05:570:05:59

It's behind that forest.

0:05:590:06:02

-You can't see it because it's covered in cloud.

-Oh!

0:06:020:06:06

Thank you, Whale.

0:06:060:06:08

-Very kind of you.

-You're welcome.

0:06:080:06:10

Be careful! It's a long way!

0:06:110:06:14

I will! Oh, and...what's that big whoosh thing you do?

0:06:160:06:21

It's very clever.

0:06:210:06:22

Oh, this?

0:06:220:06:24

That's my spout.

0:06:250:06:27

It's very good. Goodbye!

0:06:270:06:30

Ah, back on track.

0:06:350:06:37

Now to the top of the mountain.

0:06:370:06:40

That's it. Onward and upward!

0:06:430:06:45

Imagine - the first animal to find out why

0:06:460:06:49

the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines!

0:06:490:06:52

How marvellous.

0:06:520:06:54

SHE SHIVERS

0:06:560:06:58

It's getting a bit chilly. Brrr!

0:06:580:07:01

Oooh! My!

0:07:050:07:07

How beautiful!

0:07:070:07:10

The whitest carpet of...of...

0:07:100:07:13

I don't know what it is.

0:07:130:07:15

It's cold, and it's wet.

0:07:170:07:19

And it's soft.

0:07:190:07:21

But what can it be?

0:07:210:07:23

Ohhh! This is why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines!

0:07:230:07:28

SHE CHUCKLES

0:07:280:07:30

Because of all this beautiful white!

0:07:300:07:33

Whoo-hoo! Ha ha ha!

0:07:340:07:38

Whoo-hoo! Whale! I made it!

0:07:390:07:43

I'm on the top of the mountain.

0:07:430:07:46

And I know why it shines.

0:07:460:07:49

Whale? ..Oh, never mind.

0:07:490:07:53

Oooh! Now, what in Tinga Tinga can it be?

0:07:530:07:56

# Ooooh, snow... #

0:07:580:08:02

-SHE GASPS

-# Oooh, snow

0:08:020:08:04

# Whoa-oa, snow... #

0:08:040:08:08

That's what it is. Beautiful specks of falling snow.

0:08:090:08:16

Oh! I can't wait to tell everyone!

0:08:170:08:20

SHE LAUGHS Wheeee!

0:08:200:08:25

Snow!

0:08:310:08:33

# Oh, snow! #

0:08:350:08:37

Snow!

0:08:390:08:40

Lion, it's been a very long time since we saw Guinea Fowl.

0:08:420:08:45

-We'll look for her.

-Can we?

-Please?

0:08:450:08:48

Quiet, Monkeys. This is serious.

0:08:480:08:51

Lion, I will fly to the top of the mountain,

0:08:510:08:55

to find Guinea Fowl. She is one of my birds.

0:08:550:08:59

Very true, Eagle. Now, enda salama. Go safely.

0:08:590:09:04

Where are you, Guinea Fowl?

0:09:070:09:11

SHE WHOOPS

0:09:110:09:13

Snow!

0:09:140:09:16

-There you are!

-Oh, Eagle!

0:09:160:09:19

We were worried. Now, climb on.

0:09:190:09:22

Eagle, I know why the top of Tinga Tinga shines.

0:09:220:09:26

And when I got to the very top,

0:09:300:09:33

the mountain was covered in this beautiful, glistening white.

0:09:330:09:38

-ALL:

-White?!

0:09:380:09:39

That is why the top of Mount Tinga Tinga shines.

0:09:390:09:43

This beautiful white!

0:09:430:09:45

-THEY GASP

-What's it called?

0:09:450:09:47

Snow.

0:09:470:09:49

Snow! You saw snow!

0:09:490:09:52

Yes, yes! The top of the mountain was covered in snow.

0:09:520:09:58

Oh! I mean, I've heard of it, but I've never met any animal

0:09:580:10:03

who has actually seen snow.

0:10:030:10:05

Ha ha ha! Well, I'm the first animal in Tinga Tinga to have seen snow.

0:10:050:10:11

What's it like?

0:10:110:10:13

Well, it falls from the sky, and looks just like my new dots!

0:10:130:10:18

Well, it's ever so pretty.

0:10:190:10:21

Maybe your dots are made of snow.

0:10:210:10:24

How wonderful! My dots are made from falling snow.

0:10:240:10:29

And that's why Guinea Fowl has dots.

0:10:290:10:32

-What else did you see?

-What else?

0:10:320:10:34

At the ocean, I met this wonderfully big animal called Whale.

0:10:340:10:39

And she spouts, like this...

0:10:390:10:42

Whoosh!

0:10:420:10:43

-Why?

-Oh, no. I completely forgot to ask her!

0:10:430:10:48

I must find out why Whale spouts.

0:10:480:10:52

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:10:520:10:54

And Whale and her spout? That's a whole different story!

0:10:540:10:58

-# Beneath the Tinga sky... #

-Whoo!

0:11:020:11:04

# Tinga Tinga Tinga Tinga-a... # Hee-hee-hee!
