0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Jambo, Mole!- Monkey, sssh!

0:01:07 > 0:01:11Not so loud. Not so loud.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Ooops. Sorry, Mole.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16THEY GIGGLE

0:01:16 > 0:01:19You see, Mole didn't use to live underground.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23No, not at all. She lived above ground with the rest of us.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26BOTH: Jambo, Mole! Monkeys, sssh! Jambo.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oh, monkeys, not so loud.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32And Mole could hear every tiny sound.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34What can you hear today, Mole?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Yes, tell us, what can you hear? - Sssh!

0:01:36 > 0:01:40If you monkeys stop chattering for just one moment,

0:01:40 > 0:01:46you will hear one of the most beautiful sounds in Tinga Tinga.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Um...- Hmm? What is it, Mole? What is it?- Sssh.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55That is Butterfly beating her beautiful wings.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Listen.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Wow!- Woo-hoo! Flutter again!- That was beautiful. Again, Butterfly!

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Oh.- Ooh.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Too loud, monkeys, too loud.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14But Tinga Tinga could be a very noisy place

0:02:14 > 0:02:17and this was quite a problem for Mole.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18ALL LAUGH

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Coming over!- Over here! - To you, monkeys!

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Throw to me, Elephant! - I'm going to catch it this time!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Oh, Hippo!

0:02:27 > 0:02:29ALL LAUGH

0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Would you mind?- Sssh!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Oh, Tortoise, Tortoise, too loud! Too loud.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh, sorry, Mole.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Aaah! - TORTOISE LAUGHS

0:02:39 > 0:02:44- Hippo! Why don't you let Tickbird be in the middle for once?- Oh, dear.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Everything is too loud.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Mole, Mole, come and join us.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- ALL: Come and play! Mole! - Have a go.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Oh, no, no, thank you. Thank you.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58I know you're all having a lovely time,

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- but all that noise hurts my ears. - Oh, sorry, Mole.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06- We didn't realise we were being noisy.- No, we didn't.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Was I being noisy?

0:03:08 > 0:03:13You can't help it, Elephant, everything is just so loud.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Oh, sorry, Mole.

0:03:14 > 0:03:19Sorry, Mole. Let's all just try and be quiet, eh?

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Just for a moment. It will do us good.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26- Oh, what a good idea.- And if you listen really carefully,

0:03:26 > 0:03:30you can hear the most tiny sounds in Tinga Tinga.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Oh.- Hmm?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Ssh.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Oh.- Sssh!- Oh.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- I can't hear anything, can you? - ALL: Sssh!

0:03:42 > 0:03:43Elephant, listen.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46CREAKING

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh! What was that? Did you hear that?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51- CREAKING - There it is again.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53ALL GIGGLE

0:03:53 > 0:03:54CREAKING

0:03:54 > 0:03:57There it is again! What is it?

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- - It's your brain, Elephant. - ALL LAUGH

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Is it? - CREAKING

0:04:02 > 0:04:04So it is! It's my brain!

0:04:04 > 0:04:06ALL LAUGH

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Big head, see? Tiny brain!

0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Too loud, too loud!- Sorry, Mole.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Sorry, Mole. - MONKEYS: Sorry.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17SPLASHING Watch out, Hippo!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Crocodile is behind you!

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Oooh, where?

0:04:20 > 0:04:21SNAP!

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Stop that snapping!

0:04:23 > 0:04:24SNAP!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26HE GROWLS

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Thank you. Crocodile could have snapped my bottom.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Mole, they are very useful, those delicate ears of yours.

0:04:34 > 0:04:39Sometimes they are too delicate. Tinga Tinga is a very noisy place.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44- It can hurt my ears.- May I make a suggestion, Your Majesty?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Yes. Anything to help Mole.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Perhaps Mole can become a night animal.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- ALL: Oooh. - Tinga Tinga is much quieter at night

0:04:53 > 0:04:55so it won't hurt her ears.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Good idea, Tortoise.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Skunk, please introduce Mole to the night world.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Perhaps she will find the quiet she needs there.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06It would be my pleasure.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- I'll look after you.- It would be nice to find some quiet.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15- Come along, then, Mole. Follow me. - Oh, thank you, Skunk.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17TORTOISE CHUCKLES

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Very clever idea, Tortoise.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30We'd be delighted for you to join us, Mole.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Welcome to night time!

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Oh, thank you, Owl.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37All you can hear is the quiet twinkling

0:05:37 > 0:05:40of the Tinga Tinga stars.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Ah, peace at last.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Now, we're all off on our night business

0:05:50 > 0:05:54so you just snuggle down and make yourself comfy.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Glad to help.- Oh, thank you, Owl.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Oh.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04Oh, this is quiet, this is good.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Zip! Zip!- Hmm? What's that?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Jambo, Mole, only me spinning my web!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Zip, zip!- Jambo, Spider.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Oh, it's a very pretty web.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19CRICKETS CHIRP

0:06:21 > 0:06:24And now the crickets have started.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Jambo, Mole!

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Lovely evening, isn't it?

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yes, yes. I suppose so.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Ooh!

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Jambo, Mole! Glad you joined us.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Just catching some flies.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Whew! OK.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo!

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo! Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo!

0:06:44 > 0:06:45Oh, no...

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Now Owl's hooting!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50ELEPHANT SNORES LOUDLY

0:06:50 > 0:06:55Elephant, shush! You're snoring. It's really loud.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57MOSQUITO BUZZES

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Mosquito, please stop buzzing!

0:07:00 > 0:07:02WOLF HOWLS

0:07:02 > 0:07:06CACOPHONY OF ANIMAL NOISES

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Too loud. Too loud!

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo!

0:07:16 > 0:07:19ELEPHANT SNORES

0:07:19 > 0:07:21WOLF HOWLS

0:07:21 > 0:07:22MOSQUITO BUZZES

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Oh! Oh!

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Too loud!

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Too loud!

0:07:26 > 0:07:27This is not good!

0:07:27 > 0:07:30This is not good at all.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Must find quiet. Must find quiet.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47ANIMAL NOISES CONTINUE

0:07:47 > 0:07:51No, still too noisy. Still too noisy!

0:08:00 > 0:08:03ANIMAL NOISES GRADUALLY DISAPPEAR

0:08:03 > 0:08:05SILENCE

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Ah! No noise at all.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15That is the sound of silence.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh, how wonderful!

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I have found total quiet.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Total quiet.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34ALL: Mole! Mole!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Where are you?

0:08:36 > 0:08:39DISTANT VOICES

0:08:39 > 0:08:45Oh! The animals sound really worried. They can't find me

0:08:45 > 0:08:49because I'm so deep down! I'd better go and tell them

0:08:49 > 0:08:51that everything is all right.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Where are you?- Where are you?- Mole!

0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Mole?- Mole?

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Where can she be? Mole can't simply disappear.

0:09:00 > 0:09:05The last time we saw her she was right here, right here, I tell you!

0:09:05 > 0:09:11Oh, dear. Lion asked me to look after her! Oh, dear.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Ooh, hoo-hoo!

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Oh!- Jambo, everyone!

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- EVERYONE:- There you are!

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Oh, Mole, where were you? We've been so worried.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25I'm very sorry, but I couldn't bear it anymore.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Even night-time Tinga Tinga was noisy, so I dug and I dug,

0:09:29 > 0:09:32and I kept on digging. Dig, dig, dig, like this.

0:09:32 > 0:09:38Hoo, hoo-hoo! Until I was so deep in the ground, I found total quiet!

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- ELEPHANT:- Mole found quiet!

0:09:40 > 0:09:42- ELEPHANT TRUMPETS EVERYONE:- Sssh!

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Sorry.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47- You slept under the ground?- Yes!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Do you know, it was so peaceful and quiet,

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I could even sleep there during the day!

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Oh!- Oh!- Ooh!

0:09:55 > 0:10:01Oh, Your Majesty, could I live underground from now on?

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Please?

0:10:02 > 0:10:03Of course, Mole.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06If underground is where you find peace,

0:10:06 > 0:10:09then underground is where you must live.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11It is nature's way.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12Thank you, Your Majesty.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13Ooh, hoo-hoo!

0:10:13 > 0:10:17And that is why Mole lives underground!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20She dug a really deep hole.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24From that day on, Mole lived in the underground peace and quiet.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Ooh!

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Hee-hee!

0:10:27 > 0:10:31But I'll still let you know if I hear of anything dangerous in Tinga Tinga.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- EVERYONE:- Aw!

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Ooh! Skunk, move! Quickly!

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Oops!

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Ooh!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43GROANING AND SPLUTTERING

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Sorry, everyone, the coconut frightened me.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48That's REALLY smelly.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Too smelly and too noisy, I'm going underground. Ooh!

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Sorry, everyone! Sorry!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58And smelly Skunk? Well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Hee-hee!
