Why Puff Adder sheds his skin. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
-Jambo, Monkey! -It's Puff Adder! Oh! | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
# Good morning, good morning | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
# Good morning. # | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
But you see there was a time when Puff Adder didn't shed his skin. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
He was very difficult to see, and he had a nasty bite! | 0:01:16 | 0:01:22 | |
I only bite if some beast steps on me, or frightens me, Monkey. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
But you are so hard to see! | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
That's not my fault! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
Jambo, Birds! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
Habari - how are you? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Ah! It's Puff Adder! | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Have a nice day, Birds. Oh, well. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
-Oh! -Poor Puff Adder. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
All he wanted was a friend, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
but all the animals were scared of him because of his bite. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
Tee-hee-hee! | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-Tick-bird, you are tickling me! -Keep still, Hippo. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-Jambo, Hippo. Jambo, Tick-bird! -Gasp! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
It's Puff Adder! | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
To the water, quick! | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-RUN, everybody, run! -RUN! | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
He's wiggling this way. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
He's difficult to see, but he's not going to bite me! | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-Who did you see? -Who's not going to bite you? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-I saw him, I know I did. -Kiboko - Hippo! | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
What are you talking about? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Uh-hm-ugh! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Good day, everyone. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
-ALL GASP -Puff Adder! | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Now, stay calm, everyone. Stay calm. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Good morning, Puff Adder. You gave us a surprise! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
I just thought I'd say hello. Lovely day, isn't it? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
(Back away, everyone, back away.) Yes, it is! It's a lovely day. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
(Lion, Lion!) | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Not now, Hippo. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
That's it, nice and easy. Just back away. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
Ah, Elephant, Jambo! | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Been up to anything? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
I haven't been up to anything. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
I'm a good elephant, I haven't been up to anything. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
Oomph! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
Tortoise, I don't know what to do! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Try lifting up your foot! | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-Oops, sorry. -Oh! -Ah, Tortoise! There you are, old friend. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
-How's Tinga Tinga been treating you? -Oh, hello, Puff Adder. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:23 | |
Well, erm...yes. Things have been OK. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-The thing is, Puff Adder... -(Lion!) | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-..we would all like to stop and chat. -(Lion! Doh!) | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
It's...it's just that...whoa! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
-Oh! -Wah! -Gasp! -Hm-mm. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
-Oops! Are you all right? -Yes! | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Come on, let me help you out of there. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
ALL: No, thank you! | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
Oh, you don't want to be friends with me, do you? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
Well...erm... | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
It's not that we DON'T want to be friends with you... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
It's just that you bite! | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Oh, but I only bite if someone steps on me, or frightens me! | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
But I step on everyone, don't I, Tortoise? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Er, no, just me, actually. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
MONKEYS LAUGH | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
I don't want to bite anyone. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-But you're so difficult to see! -Quite so. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
May I make a suggestion? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Please do, Tortoise. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
Perhaps if Puff Adder gave his skin a really good wash and polish, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
we would spot him more easily, and wouldn't step on him. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
Very good idea, Tortoise. Puff Adder? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
It's no good, I've tried. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
My skin is too faded, and too old. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
ALL: Sorry, Puff Adder! | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Well, if nobody wants to be my friend, then I shall wiggle on. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:50 | |
ALL: Oh, poor Puff Adder! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
# I'm the snake who animals fear | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
-# No-one wants to be near. # -Oh, no! Puff Adder. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
# Best be alone It's best to be alone | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
# Who wants a friend? DOG HOWLS | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
# Oh, who needs a friend? # | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Oh, Puff Adder! | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
# It's best to be alone Who wants a friend...? # | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
-It's Puff Adder! -# Who needs a friend? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
# It's best to be alone It's best to be alone | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
# Who wants a friend? Who needs a friend? # | 0:05:30 | 0:05:37 | |
Oh! Right, that's it! | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
I am never, ever, going to be friendly again! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Never. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
Absolutely no-one around. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
I can curl up and not be friendly to anyone ever again. Perfect! Yawn! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
Being unfriendly really makes you sleepy. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |

BURP! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Ah, another beautiful day in the desert! | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
Oh, I think I will just sit and rest my bottom... | 0:06:19 | 0:06:25 | |

But first, I need a nice big scratch. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
Ah! That's better. Ha! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Now, here we go. Ah... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |

Ah, that's better. Now, I'm ready to sit | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |

OW! | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
Ooh, ow. Something has bitten me! | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
Something has bitten me on the bottom! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Well, what do you expect?! You sat on me! -But I didn't see you. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
-I'm in the middle of nowhere! -Hm. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
You naughty animal, that's not very friendly! | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
-I'm trying NOT to be friendly! -Well, that's not very nice. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
-I don't want to be nice! -I bet you don't have many friends! | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
-I don't want any friends! -Every animal wants friends. -Well, I DON'T! | 0:07:28 | 0:07:34 | |
Every animal needs friends. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-Not this one, Humpy! -You've got to have... | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-Camel, watch out! -Oh! | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
-Ooh! -Oof! | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
Brrrr! | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-Puff Adder? -Oh! -Puff Adder? -Oh! -Where are you? -Ee... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
Oh, I'm stuck. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Oh! Oh, dear, oh, no! Ooh, I'm stuck. Oh, ah! | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
-Let me help you. -No! I don't want any help! | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
-I told you, I don't want any friends. -Oh, you can't stay like that! | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
Oh, yes, I can! Like this, I won't bother any animal ever again. Oh... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
-But, you can't give up! -You're a puff adder! Where's your wibble? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
Where's your squiggle? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Squashed underneath this rock. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
But you must wiggle and squiggle! That's what you do. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-Ooh, ooh, I can't! -Oh, yes, you can! | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-Are you a wiggly puff adder, or no? -OK, I'm a wiggly puff adder! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:43 | |
-Ha-ha-ha-ha. -And are you squiggly! -Yes, I'm a squiggly puff adder, too! | 0:08:43 | 0:08:48 | |
-Ho-ho! -Well, come on! | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-Let's w-w-w-wiggle it up! And, w-w-w-wiggle it down! -Oh! | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
Ha-ha-ha, you look funny wiggling! | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
That's because I am a camel! Now, come on! Wiggle! | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
Oh, ha-ha! Wiggly, ooh! Wiggle. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
That's it! Now, you have the wiggle, put in the squiggle. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
Ooh-hoo-hoo, squiggle! | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Ha-ha, wiggly! Squiggly! Ha-ha-ha! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |

Wiggle, oh! Ha-ha! | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |

Ho-ho! Yes, you have...whoa, Puff Adder! Look at you. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
You are all bright and colourful! | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
Really?! | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
Yes, you have the brightest spots in Tinga Tinga! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
A-ha! Am I easy to see? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Easy to see?! | 0:09:43 | 0:09:44 | |
It's impossible not to see you! Ha-ha-ha! | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
Puff Adder?! | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
-Is that you?! -A brand-new me! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
Well, no-one is going to step on you any more! | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
I know, I know! Will you tell all the animals? | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
You bet your spots I will! | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
Animals, big news! | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Big news! No beast is ever going to step on Puff Adder again! | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
Big news... | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
-Ha-ha-ha! -Ha-ha! -I like you, Puff Adder! | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-Friends? -Only if you promise not to step on me. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-Well, how could I, with all those bright, bright colours? -Oh-ho-ho-ho! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
Friends, then. Yes, friends! | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
And that is why Puff Adder sheds his skin. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
From that day on, all the animals could spot him | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
for miles, and miles, and MILES! | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
You know, I do really like being friendly. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-EVERY animal needs friends! BURP! Sorry, ha-ha-ha. -Hee-hee. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
And Camel and his hump! | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
