0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yeah!
0:01:10 > 0:01:15But, you see, there was a time when Cricket didn't have the beat.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Hmm.- Cricket didn't have the beat at all.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Jambo, monkeys!- Jambo!- Jambo!
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Jambo, Cricket!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Jambo, Monkey. Hmm.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Why the sad face?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm useless.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30I don't have a use.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34No, you're not. No animal is useless.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35You can, um...

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Jambo, Giraffe.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Oh, dear. Why the sad face?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Cricket wants to be useful.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Well, yes, we all like to be useful, dear.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Every animal has a use.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I don't.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Nothing! I am useless!
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Poor Cricket.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43He so wanted to be useful, he just didn't know how.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48# Honey, go get me honey... #
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Hmm. The bees make honey.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Ribbit!- Frog croaks.- Ribbit!

0:03:22 > 0:03:25# Ooh! Mm-mm-hm-mm... #
0:03:25 > 0:03:28No, no. Over to you, Flamingo.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32And a-two, and a-three! And a...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Eagle, sorry! I missed it again, didn't I?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Flamingo, you are AFTER Hummingbird.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I know, but I'm finding it very difficult.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Maybe I can sing.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Uh-oh! Eagle! Can I sing too?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Maybe I can help.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54You are welcome, Cricket. We need all the help we can get.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Bird three. One, two, three, four...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Sing so sweet, sing so sweet
0:04:01 > 0:04:03A Tinga treat

0:04:12 > 0:04:17One... No! I missed it again, didn't I?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Yes, you did.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Good rhythm, Cricket.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22But you were talking, not singing.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Uh-huh.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Eagle, this song is too difficult.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31We need something to help us count. We need...
0:04:31 > 0:04:34A miracle! That's what we need. A miracle.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36No, no, no.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We need a beat. Cricket, do you have a beat?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41A beat? What's that?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Something to help us stay in time, like a drum.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46No, sorry. I don't have a beat.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Or a drum. Or anything.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm useless.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52No animal is useless.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54You must have something.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I don't. I don't have ANYTHING.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Hmmm.- Don't worry, Cricket.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- Come tonight. The song will cheer you up!- Or make him feel even worse!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, everyone, once more from the top.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And keep in time!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- # Sing so fine - Sing so fine... #
0:05:12 > 0:05:15In time, I said!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17HIPPO GIGGLES
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Hippo, please! Some of us are trying to have a nap.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Ohh.- Jambo, Cricket!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Now, what's bothering you? - Maybe you can answer this question.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Do you see how all the animals are good at something?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
0:05:35 > 0:05:41Elephant trumpets, Tick Bird ticks and Hippo...
0:05:41 > 0:05:45And that hippo is too good at splashing!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Sorry, Tortoise!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- What can- I- be good at?
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Well, you can, um... You...you can, um...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57You see? Nothing!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I am a useless cricket.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Don't be silly, Cricket.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Every beast has a use. You just haven't found it yet.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06LOUD TRUMPETING
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Tortoise! Tortoise, look what I've found.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Maybe there is no use for a cricket at all.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Watch out, Cricket. Elephant's coming.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17That usually means I'm about to get...squashed!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Oops!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21MUFFLED: Lift up your foot, Elephant.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Sorry, Tortoise.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Gagh!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It's not just me you squashed this time.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Look what you've done to poor old Cricket.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31What...? I...
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Ah!- Oh, no! Are you all right, Cricket?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh, yes, I'm fine,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40but my legs are a little bent.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Ooh, Cricket. Your legs are all bent at the back.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Oh, dear. Try straightening them.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38CACOPHONY OF CALLS
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Those legs of yours have got rhythm.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Cricket, you have got the beat!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Ah-ha! The beat.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I've got the beat.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Don't stop, Cricket. It feels good. Every song has to have a beat.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57You're right! Every song HAS to have a beat!
0:07:57 > 0:07:58CRICKET LAUGHS
0:07:58 > 0:08:00See you all later!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Thanks, Elephant!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Karibu! You're welcome!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10What's he thanking me for? I squashed him.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15I think that might have been the best thing that ever happened to Cricket.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Really?!
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Eagle, it is no use. It will never work.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23You will have to cancel the song tonight.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I'm never going to get it right. We need a beat.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Eagle, I think I might be of some use.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31But you tried to help us earlier.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34That was earlier. This is now!
0:08:34 > 0:08:38And I have found the beat. I have got the beat, Eagle.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I have got the beat!
0:08:40 > 0:08:45# Sing so fine, sing so fine... #
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Now, that is sounding sweet.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Birds, Cricket, the song is back on.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55But I'm never going to get it right. I'm useless.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Uh-uh-uh, Flamingo.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58No animal is useless.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Now, don't you worry. I'll count you in.
