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

-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:01:00

-Jambo, Mole!

-Monkey, sssh!

0:01:040:01:07

Not so loud. Not so loud.

0:01:070:01:11

Ooops. Sorry, Mole.

0:01:110:01:13

THEY GIGGLE

0:01:130:01:16

You see, Mole didn't use to live underground.

0:01:160:01:19

No, not at all. She lived above ground with the rest of us.

0:01:190:01:23

BOTH: Jambo, Mole! Monkeys, sssh! Jambo.

0:01:230:01:26

Oh, monkeys, not so loud.

0:01:260:01:28

And Mole could hear every tiny sound.

0:01:280:01:32

What can you hear today, Mole?

0:01:320:01:34

-Yes, tell us, what can you hear?

-Sssh!

0:01:340:01:36

If you monkeys stop chattering for just one moment,

0:01:360:01:40

you will hear one of the most beautiful sounds in Tinga Tinga.

0:01:400:01:46

-Um...

-Hmm? What is it, Mole? What is it?

-Sssh.

0:01:460:01:50

That is Butterfly beating her beautiful wings.

0:01:500:01:55

Listen.

0:01:550:01:56

-Wow!

-Woo-hoo! Flutter again!

-That was beautiful. Again, Butterfly!

0:02:000:02:05

-Oh.

-Ooh.

0:02:050:02:07

Too loud, monkeys, too loud.

0:02:070:02:10

But Tinga Tinga could be a very noisy place

0:02:100:02:14

and this was quite a problem for Mole.

0:02:140:02:17

ALL LAUGH

0:02:170:02:18

-Coming over!

-Over here!

-To you, monkeys!

0:02:180:02:21

-Throw to me, Elephant!

-I'm going to catch it this time!

0:02:210:02:25

Oh, Hippo!

0:02:250:02:27

ALL LAUGH

0:02:270:02:29

-Would you mind?

-Sssh!

0:02:290:02:31

Oh, Tortoise, Tortoise, too loud! Too loud.

0:02:310:02:35

Oh, sorry, Mole.

0:02:350:02:37

-Aaah!

-TORTOISE LAUGHS

0:02:370:02:39

-Hippo! Why don't you let Tickbird be in the middle for once?

-Oh, dear.

0:02:390:02:44

Everything is too loud.

0:02:440:02:47

Mole, Mole, come and join us.

0:02:470:02:50

-ALL: Come and play! Mole!

-Have a go.

0:02:500:02:53

Oh, no, no, thank you. Thank you.

0:02:530:02:55

I know you're all having a lovely time,

0:02:550:02:58

-but all that noise hurts my ears.

-Oh, sorry, Mole.

0:02:580:03:02

-We didn't realise we were being noisy.

-No, we didn't.

0:03:020:03:06

- Was I being noisy?

0:03:060:03:08

You can't help it, Elephant, everything is just so loud.

0:03:080:03:13

Oh, sorry, Mole.

0:03:130:03:14

Sorry, Mole. Let's all just try and be quiet, eh?

0:03:140:03:19

Just for a moment. It will do us good.

0:03:190:03:21

-Oh, what a good idea.

-And if you listen really carefully,

0:03:210:03:26

you can hear the most tiny sounds in Tinga Tinga.

0:03:260:03:30

-Oh.

-Hmm?

0:03:300:03:32

Ssh.

0:03:340:03:36

-Oh.

-Sssh!

-Oh.

0:03:360:03:38

-I can't hear anything, can you?

-ALL: Sssh!

0:03:380:03:42

Elephant, listen.

0:03:420:03:43

CREAKING

0:03:430:03:46

Oh! What was that? Did you hear that?

0:03:460:03:49

-CREAKING

-There it is again.

0:03:490:03:51

ALL GIGGLE

0:03:510:03:53

CREAKING

0:03:530:03:54

There it is again! What is it?

0:03:540:03:57

-- It's your brain, Elephant.

-ALL LAUGH

0:03:570:04:00

-Is it?

-CREAKING

0:04:000:04:02

So it is! It's my brain!

0:04:020:04:04

ALL LAUGH

0:04:040:04:06

Big head, see? Tiny brain!

0:04:060:04:08

-Too loud, too loud!

-Sorry, Mole.

0:04:080:04:12

-Sorry, Mole.

-MONKEYS: Sorry.

0:04:120:04:14

SPLASHING Watch out, Hippo!

0:04:140:04:17

Crocodile is behind you!

0:04:170:04:19

Oooh, where?

0:04:190:04:20

SNAP!

0:04:200:04:21

Stop that snapping!

0:04:210:04:23

SNAP!

0:04:230:04:24

HE GROWLS

0:04:240:04:26

Thank you. Crocodile could have snapped my bottom.

0:04:260:04:30

Mole, they are very useful, those delicate ears of yours.

0:04:300:04:34

Sometimes they are too delicate. Tinga Tinga is a very noisy place.

0:04:340:04:39

-It can hurt my ears.

-May I make a suggestion, Your Majesty?

0:04:390:04:44

Yes. Anything to help Mole.

0:04:440:04:46

Perhaps Mole can become a night animal.

0:04:460:04:50

-ALL: Oooh.

-Tinga Tinga is much quieter at night

0:04:500:04:53

so it won't hurt her ears.

0:04:530:04:55

Good idea, Tortoise.

0:04:550:04:57

Skunk, please introduce Mole to the night world.

0:04:570:05:01

Perhaps she will find the quiet she needs there.

0:05:010:05:04

It would be my pleasure.

0:05:040:05:06

-I'll look after you.

-It would be nice to find some quiet.

0:05:060:05:10

-Come along, then, Mole. Follow me.

-Oh, thank you, Skunk.

0:05:100:05:15

TORTOISE CHUCKLES

0:05:150:05:17

Very clever idea, Tortoise.

0:05:170:05:19

We'd be delighted for you to join us, Mole.

0:05:260:05:30

Welcome to night time!

0:05:300:05:32

Oh, thank you, Owl.

0:05:320:05:33

All you can hear is the quiet twinkling

0:05:330:05:37

of the Tinga Tinga stars.

0:05:370:05:40

Ah, peace at last.

0:05:440:05:47

Now, we're all off on our night business

0:05:470:05:50

so you just snuggle down and make yourself comfy.

0:05:500:05:54

-Glad to help.

-Oh, thank you, Owl.

0:05:540:05:57

Oh.

0:05:570:05:59

Oh, this is quiet, this is good.

0:05:590:06:04

-Zip! Zip!

-Hmm? What's that?

0:06:040:06:07

Jambo, Mole, only me spinning my web!

0:06:070:06:10

-Zip, zip!

-Jambo, Spider.

0:06:100:06:13

Oh, it's a very pretty web.

0:06:130:06:15

CRICKETS CHIRP

0:06:150:06:19

And now the crickets have started.

0:06:210:06:24

Jambo, Mole!

0:06:240:06:26

Lovely evening, isn't it?

0:06:260:06:28

Yes, yes. I suppose so.

0:06:280:06:30

Ooh!

0:06:300:06:31

Jambo, Mole! Glad you joined us.

0:06:310:06:34

Just catching some flies.

0:06:340:06:36

Whew! OK.

0:06:370:06:39

Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo!

0:06:390:06:40

Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo! Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo!

0:06:400:06:44

Oh, no...

0:06:440:06:45

Now Owl's hooting!

0:06:450:06:47

ELEPHANT SNORES LOUDLY

0:06:470:06:50

Elephant, shush! You're snoring. It's really loud.

0:06:500:06:55

MOSQUITO BUZZES

0:06:550:06:57

Mosquito, please stop buzzing!

0:06:570:07:00

WOLF HOWLS

0:07:000:07:02

CACOPHONY OF ANIMAL NOISES

0:07:020:07:06

Too loud. Too loud!

0:07:100:07:13

Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo!

0:07:150:07:16

ELEPHANT SNORES

0:07:160:07:19

WOLF HOWLS

0:07:190:07:21

MOSQUITO BUZZES

0:07:210:07:22

Oh! Oh!

0:07:220:07:24

Too loud!

0:07:240:07:25

Too loud!

0:07:250:07:26

This is not good!

0:07:260:07:27

This is not good at all.

0:07:270:07:30

Must find quiet. Must find quiet.

0:07:400:07:43

ANIMAL NOISES CONTINUE

0:07:430:07:47

No, still too noisy. Still too noisy!

0:07:470:07:51

ANIMAL NOISES GRADUALLY DISAPPEAR

0:08:000:08:03

SILENCE

0:08:030:08:05

Ah! No noise at all.

0:08:080:08:11

That is the sound of silence.

0:08:110:08:15

Oh, how wonderful!

0:08:150:08:17

I have found total quiet.

0:08:170:08:21

Hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:08:210:08:23

Total quiet.

0:08:230:08:25

ALL: Mole! Mole!

0:08:310:08:34

Where are you?

0:08:340:08:36

DISTANT VOICES

0:08:360:08:39

Oh! The animals sound really worried. They can't find me

0:08:390:08:45

because I'm so deep down! I'd better go and tell them

0:08:450:08:49

that everything is all right.

0:08:490:08:51

-Where are you?

-Where are you?

-Mole!

0:08:510:08:54

-Mole?

-Mole?

0:08:540:08:56

Where can she be? Mole can't simply disappear.

0:08:560:09:00

The last time we saw her she was right here, right here, I tell you!

0:09:000:09:05

Oh, dear. Lion asked me to look after her! Oh, dear.

0:09:050:09:11

Ooh, hoo-hoo!

0:09:110:09:12

-Oh!

-Jambo, everyone!

0:09:120:09:15

-EVERYONE:

-There you are!

0:09:150:09:18

Oh, Mole, where were you? We've been so worried.

0:09:180:09:21

I'm very sorry, but I couldn't bear it anymore.

0:09:210:09:25

Even night-time Tinga Tinga was noisy, so I dug and I dug,

0:09:250:09:29

and I kept on digging. Dig, dig, dig, like this.

0:09:290:09:32

Hoo, hoo-hoo! Until I was so deep in the ground, I found total quiet!

0:09:320:09:38

-ELEPHANT:

-Mole found quiet!

0:09:380:09:40

-ELEPHANT TRUMPETS EVERYONE:

-Sssh!

0:09:400:09:42

Sorry.

0:09:420:09:43

-You slept under the ground?

-Yes!

0:09:430:09:47

Do you know, it was so peaceful and quiet,

0:09:470:09:49

I could even sleep there during the day!

0:09:490:09:52

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Ooh!

0:09:520:09:55

Oh, Your Majesty, could I live underground from now on?

0:09:550:10:01

Please?

0:10:010:10:02

Of course, Mole.

0:10:020:10:03

If underground is where you find peace,

0:10:030:10:06

then underground is where you must live.

0:10:060:10:09

It is nature's way.

0:10:090:10:11

Thank you, Your Majesty.

0:10:110:10:12

Ooh, hoo-hoo!

0:10:120:10:13

And that is why Mole lives underground!

0:10:130:10:17

She dug a really deep hole.

0:10:170:10:20

From that day on, Mole lived in the underground peace and quiet.

0:10:200:10:24

Ooh!

0:10:240:10:26

Hee-hee!

0:10:260:10:27

But I'll still let you know if I hear of anything dangerous in Tinga Tinga.

0:10:270:10:31

-EVERYONE:

-Aw!

0:10:310:10:33

Ooh! Skunk, move! Quickly!

0:10:330:10:36

Oops!

0:10:360:10:37

Ooh!

0:10:370:10:39

GROANING AND SPLUTTERING

0:10:400:10:43

Sorry, everyone, the coconut frightened me.

0:10:430:10:46

That's REALLY smelly.

0:10:460:10:48

Too smelly and too noisy, I'm going underground. Ooh!

0:10:480:10:52

Sorry, everyone! Sorry!

0:10:520:10:55

And smelly Skunk? Well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:550:10:58

Hee-hee!
