-Jambo, Mole! -Monkey, sssh! | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Not so loud. Not so loud. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Ooops. Sorry, Mole. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
THEY GIGGLE | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
You see, Mole didn't use to live underground. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
No, not at all. She lived above ground with the rest of us. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
BOTH: Jambo, Mole! Monkeys, sssh! Jambo. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Oh, monkeys, not so loud. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
And Mole could hear every tiny sound. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
What can you hear today, Mole? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
-Yes, tell us, what can you hear? -Sssh! | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
If you monkeys stop chattering for just one moment, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
you will hear one of the most beautiful sounds in Tinga Tinga. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:46 | |
-Um... -Hmm? What is it, Mole? What is it? -Sssh. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
That is Butterfly beating her beautiful wings. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
Listen. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
-Wow! -Woo-hoo! Flutter again! -That was beautiful. Again, Butterfly! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
-Oh. -Ooh. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Too loud, monkeys, too loud. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
But Tinga Tinga could be a very noisy place | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
and this was quite a problem for Mole. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
-Coming over! -Over here! -To you, monkeys! | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-Throw to me, Elephant! -I'm going to catch it this time! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
Oh, Hippo! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-Would you mind? -Sssh! | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Oh, Tortoise, Tortoise, too loud! Too loud. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Oh, sorry, Mole. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
-Aaah! -TORTOISE LAUGHS | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-Hippo! Why don't you let Tickbird be in the middle for once? -Oh, dear. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Everything is too loud. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Mole, Mole, come and join us. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-ALL: Come and play! Mole! -Have a go. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Oh, no, no, thank you. Thank you. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
I know you're all having a lovely time, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
-but all that noise hurts my ears. -Oh, sorry, Mole. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-We didn't realise we were being noisy. -No, we didn't. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
- Was I being noisy? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
You can't help it, Elephant, everything is just so loud. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
Oh, sorry, Mole. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
Sorry, Mole. Let's all just try and be quiet, eh? | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
Just for a moment. It will do us good. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-Oh, what a good idea. -And if you listen really carefully, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
you can hear the most tiny sounds in Tinga Tinga. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
-Oh. -Hmm? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Ssh. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-Oh. -Sssh! -Oh. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-I can't hear anything, can you? -ALL: Sssh! | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
Elephant, listen. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
CREAKING | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Oh! What was that? Did you hear that? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-CREAKING -There it is again. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
ALL GIGGLE | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
CREAKING | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
There it is again! What is it? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-- It's your brain, Elephant. -ALL LAUGH | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
-Is it? -CREAKING | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
So it is! It's my brain! | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Big head, see? Tiny brain! | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
-Too loud, too loud! -Sorry, Mole. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-Sorry, Mole. -MONKEYS: Sorry. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
SPLASHING Watch out, Hippo! | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Crocodile is behind you! | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
Oooh, where? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
SNAP! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
Stop that snapping! | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
SNAP! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
HE GROWLS | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Thank you. Crocodile could have snapped my bottom. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
Mole, they are very useful, those delicate ears of yours. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
Sometimes they are too delicate. Tinga Tinga is a very noisy place. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
-It can hurt my ears. -May I make a suggestion, Your Majesty? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
Yes. Anything to help Mole. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Perhaps Mole can become a night animal. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-ALL: Oooh. -Tinga Tinga is much quieter at night | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
so it won't hurt her ears. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Good idea, Tortoise. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Skunk, please introduce Mole to the night world. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Perhaps she will find the quiet she needs there. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
It would be my pleasure. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-I'll look after you. -It would be nice to find some quiet. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-Come along, then, Mole. Follow me. -Oh, thank you, Skunk. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
TORTOISE CHUCKLES | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
Very clever idea, Tortoise. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
We'd be delighted for you to join us, Mole. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Welcome to night time! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
Oh, thank you, Owl. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
All you can hear is the quiet twinkling | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
of the Tinga Tinga stars. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
Ah, peace at last. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
Now, we're all off on our night business | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
so you just snuggle down and make yourself comfy. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
-Glad to help. -Oh, thank you, Owl. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Oh. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Oh, this is quiet, this is good. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
-Zip! Zip! -Hmm? What's that? | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
Jambo, Mole, only me spinning my web! | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-Zip, zip! -Jambo, Spider. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Oh, it's a very pretty web. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
CRICKETS CHIRP | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
And now the crickets have started. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Jambo, Mole! | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Lovely evening, isn't it? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Yes, yes. I suppose so. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
Ooh! | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
Jambo, Mole! Glad you joined us. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Just catching some flies. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Whew! OK. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo! | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo! Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo! | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
Oh, no... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
Now Owl's hooting! | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
ELEPHANT SNORES LOUDLY | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Elephant, shush! You're snoring. It's really loud. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
MOSQUITO BUZZES | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
Mosquito, please stop buzzing! | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
WOLF HOWLS | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
CACOPHONY OF ANIMAL NOISES | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
Too loud. Too loud! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Tuh-whit-tuh-whoo! | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
ELEPHANT SNORES | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
WOLF HOWLS | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
MOSQUITO BUZZES | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
Oh! Oh! | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Too loud! | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
Too loud! | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
This is not good! | 0:07:26 | 0:07:27 | |
This is not good at all. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Must find quiet. Must find quiet. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
ANIMAL NOISES CONTINUE | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
No, still too noisy. Still too noisy! | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
ANIMAL NOISES GRADUALLY DISAPPEAR | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
SILENCE | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
Ah! No noise at all. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
That is the sound of silence. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
Oh, how wonderful! | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
I have found total quiet. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
Hoo-hoo-hoo! | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
Total quiet. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
ALL: Mole! Mole! | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Where are you? | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
DISTANT VOICES | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
Oh! The animals sound really worried. They can't find me | 0:08:39 | 0:08:45 | |
because I'm so deep down! I'd better go and tell them | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
that everything is all right. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-Where are you? -Where are you? -Mole! | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-Mole? -Mole? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Where can she be? Mole can't simply disappear. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
The last time we saw her she was right here, right here, I tell you! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
Oh, dear. Lion asked me to look after her! Oh, dear. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:11 | |
Ooh, hoo-hoo! | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
-Oh! -Jambo, everyone! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
-EVERYONE: -There you are! | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
Oh, Mole, where were you? We've been so worried. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
I'm very sorry, but I couldn't bear it anymore. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
Even night-time Tinga Tinga was noisy, so I dug and I dug, | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
and I kept on digging. Dig, dig, dig, like this. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
Hoo, hoo-hoo! Until I was so deep in the ground, I found total quiet! | 0:09:32 | 0:09:38 | |
-ELEPHANT: -Mole found quiet! | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-ELEPHANT TRUMPETS EVERYONE: -Sssh! | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Sorry. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
-You slept under the ground? -Yes! | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
Do you know, it was so peaceful and quiet, | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
I could even sleep there during the day! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
-Oh! -Oh! -Ooh! | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Oh, Your Majesty, could I live underground from now on? | 0:09:55 | 0:10:01 | |
Please? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
Of course, Mole. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
If underground is where you find peace, | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
then underground is where you must live. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
It is nature's way. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Thank you, Your Majesty. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
Ooh, hoo-hoo! | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
And that is why Mole lives underground! | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
She dug a really deep hole. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
From that day on, Mole lived in the underground peace and quiet. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Ooh! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
Hee-hee! | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
But I'll still let you know if I hear of anything dangerous in Tinga Tinga. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
-EVERYONE: -Aw! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
Ooh! Skunk, move! Quickly! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Oops! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:37 | |
Ooh! | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
GROANING AND SPLUTTERING | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
Sorry, everyone, the coconut frightened me. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
That's REALLY smelly. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Too smelly and too noisy, I'm going underground. Ooh! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
Sorry, everyone! Sorry! | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
And smelly Skunk? Well, that's a whole other story. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
