0:01:03 > 0:01:05Why Camel has a hump.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Phew! It's so hot!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14You see, there was a time when Camel had no hump. Look.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20HE GRUNTS
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Ahhh.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23HE SLURPS
0:01:23 > 0:01:27He lived far, far away in the hot desert.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32And no beast in Tinga Tinga had ever seen a camel before.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- CAMEL BURPS - Eugh!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37HE BURPS AND SLURPS
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Camel loved the heat.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45But one day, the desert got too hot, even for Camel.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Hot, hot, hot sand!
0:01:57 > 0:02:02The rains have not come for a very long time, your majesty.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I know, Tortoise. It is a worry for us all.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The water hole is looking dangerously low.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- SLURPING - Elephant!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Put that water back!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20But the heat makes my skin all crinkley!
0:02:20 > 0:02:26There's not a lot left, Elephant and we need it for drinking.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31Permission to splash, your majesty, please? Pretty please?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Permission denied, Hippo.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Permission granted to lie very still in the water
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- without making a single splosh. - Easier said than done!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Ehhh. HE GRUNTS
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Eh-heh...hmmm.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00A-ha!
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- I'm so thirsty!- Me too. - Me three!- Me four.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Elephant!- But I'm so thirsty.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15What if my trunk shrivels up?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Your brain will be the first thing to go.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21It has! My brain's all shrivelled up.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25It hasn't, Elephant! Your brain is still there.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Oh. HE CHUCKLES
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Maybe we should all have an afternoon nap.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Ooh, excellent idea, your majesty.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Take our minds off how thirsty we are.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41And when we wake up, the rains will be here, won't they?
0:03:41 > 0:03:46I hope so, Monkey. Now, let's sleep.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Ahhh.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56THEY SNORE
0:04:05 > 0:04:08A-ha.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11HE CHUCKLES

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh. Oh!
0:04:37 > 0:04:38HE BURPS
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Hippo! Wake up!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Huh? What?- Shh!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Over there! What in Tinga Tinga is that?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Oh, I don't know!
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Tortoise, wake up! There's a strange beast in the water hole.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00What on earth is that?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Elephant? Elephant!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Elepha-a-a-nt!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08ELEPHANT GRUNTS
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Tell Lion there's a strange beast in the water hole!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK, sawa.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17What on earth is it?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20CAMEL BURPS That's not very nice!
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Looks like Giraffe, but burps like a buffalo.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26CAMEL SNORTS
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- MONKEYS GIGGLE - How rude.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Tortoise, you are the oldest. Any idea who this beast is?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'm usually good on animals.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I just can't put my finger on it at the moment.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42But I'll get there.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44No-one knows what it is.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46THEY GROAN IN DISGUST
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Eurgh. Yuck!
0:05:49 > 0:05:54He obviously hasn't been around polite animals for some time.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Wait!- Shhh!- I know what it is!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00It's coming to me... Give me a moment. Yes!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yes... No, it's gone.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04THEY GROAN
0:06:04 > 0:06:09We can't just stand here while Tortoise tries to figure it out.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Ahhh, water.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Greetings, stranger.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I am Lion, king of Tinga Tinga. Who are you?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21CAMEL BURPS
0:06:21 > 0:06:23No manners at all!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Maybe he doesn't understand us.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Me - Lion! Who are you?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I am Camel.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Camel! That's it, it's a camel!
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Course it is! Now, some beast once told me something important
0:06:42 > 0:06:45about Camel, what was it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It was very important... Oh, that's it!
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Be very careful near a camel, they come from places hot...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I can't remember the rest.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Camel, where do you come from? Where is your home?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03My home is very far away.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06My home is the desert.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08That's it!
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Be very careful near a camel, they come from places hot...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Oh, I can't remember the rest. What was it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Why are you here, Camel?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I is very, very thirsty.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26THEY GIGGLE
0:07:26 > 0:07:33Do you think I might have a drink?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35THEY GASP
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Hang on, Camel, wait a moment.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- That's not fair!- A drink?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Now, what was it? Be very careful near a camel,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- they come from places hot... - CAMEL BURPS
0:07:47 > 0:07:51That's it! They burp, they spit, they blow their nose,
0:07:51 > 0:07:55and...and... Oh, I can't remember the rest.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- He can't have a drink. - Well, how much can one camel drink?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- But...- But...- But...
0:08:01 > 0:08:06No buts. We are kind animals here in Tinga Tinga.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11We shall allow this camel one drink. One drink, that is all.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Come on, Tortoise!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Remember, remember! What was it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Camel!- Eh? - Since you are very thirsty,
0:08:19 > 0:08:24you may have a drink - just one drink. Do you understand?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I do.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31One drink, and one drink only.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Oh, I can't remember the rest...
0:08:43 > 0:08:45But I know it was important!
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Be very careful near a camel, they come from places hot.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53They burp, they spit, they blow their nose...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Oh! It's coming back to me!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It was a long time ago.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02And I was only a lickle, lickle tortoise.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04But they said... They said...
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Be very careful near a camel, they come from places hot.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12They burp, they spit, they blow their nose,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15and... Oh! Oh, my goodness! Stop! Stop the camel!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Some beast stop the camel!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21And, oh, they drink a lot!
0:09:23 > 0:09:24- Ahhh. - HE BURPS
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Eh?- Oh!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31RUMBLING
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- THEY GASP - What is that?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It looks like a big bump.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's a hump.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- A hump?- Yes, a hump.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Well, whatever it is, it's full of our water!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Tortoise!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I was trying to tell you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I will not be needing any more water.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Now that I have a 'ump, I will go back to the desert
0:10:02 > 0:10:05and you will not see me again.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11What did you call it again?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- A 'ump.- Got you.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16And that's why camel has a hump.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Um, I think you'll find it's a "ump", Monkey.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Not a hump. A "ump".
0:10:22 > 0:10:24THEY GIGGLE
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's raining!
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Oh, goody.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Permission to splosh? - Permission granted!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Permission to burp like Camel?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Permission...not granted!
