Why Squirrel Gathers Nuts.

0:01:000:01:02

Got to get nuts, got to gather...

0:01:020:01:04

Excuse me, Monkey.

0:01:040:01:06

Hand over once, hand over...

0:01:090:01:11

But there was a time when Squirrel didn't gather nuts.

0:01:110:01:14

Oh, no. She was far too busy braiding her bushy tail.

0:01:140:01:19

-Jambo, monkeys!

-Jambo!

0:01:190:01:21

Is there a mango for me?

0:01:210:01:23

Uh-uh. No! We can't find any more mangoes.

0:01:230:01:27

I'm hungry. Squirrel, do you have any nuts?

0:01:270:01:30

Hand over once, hand over twice, got to look neat, got to look...

0:01:300:01:34

Squirrel! Do you have any of those yummy nuts?

0:01:340:01:37

Sorry, Monkey, I'm too busy braiding.

0:01:370:01:39

-Why are you always braiding your tail?

-Yes, why?

0:01:390:01:43

Got to be neat, monkeys, got to be nice.

0:01:430:01:46

How do you braid?

0:01:460:01:47

Hand over once, hand over twice, got to look neat, got to look nice.

0:01:470:01:53

Hand over once, hand over twice, got to look neat, got to look nice.

0:01:530:01:56

-I want to try! I want to try!

-Me too!

-Me three!

0:01:560:02:00

Hand over once, hand over twice, got to look neat, got to look nice.

0:02:000:02:05

Hand over once, hand over twice, got to look neat, got to look nice.

0:02:050:02:09

There, all done.

0:02:090:02:12

-Ooops!

-That's not right!

0:02:140:02:17

No, that's not right at all.

0:02:170:02:20

It's hand over once, hand over twice,

0:02:200:02:22

got to look neat...

0:02:220:02:24

Oh! Oh, got to look nice!

0:02:240:02:28

Oh, no, I'll have to start all over again.

0:02:280:02:32

Hand over once...

0:02:320:02:33

-Jambo, Giraffe!

-Jambo, Giraffe!

0:02:330:02:35

-Jambo!

-Jambo, monkeys!

0:02:350:02:39

-Can you see any mangoes up there?

-Oooh, no, funny that.

0:02:390:02:43

I can't see any mangoes at all.

0:02:430:02:46

-Jambo, everybody!

-Jambo, Elephant! Jambo, Tortoise!

0:02:460:02:50

Jambo, Squirrel!

0:02:500:02:51

..hand over once, hand over twice...

0:02:510:02:53

Oh! Too busy braiding that tail of yours to say jambo, eh?

0:02:530:02:57

Hand over once... Jambo, Tortoise. ..Hand over twice, got to look...

0:02:570:03:01

I don't know what Tinga Tinga is coming to

0:03:010:03:03

when an animal is too busy to say, "Good morning," to an old tortoise.

0:03:030:03:08

Got to look neat, got to look nice.

0:03:080:03:11

Has anyone seen any mangoes? I can't find any anywhere!

0:03:110:03:15

-Me too.

-Me three!

0:03:150:03:17

I think we should talk to Lion.

0:03:170:03:19

Seems like food is pretty hard to find at the moment.

0:03:190:03:22

-Let's go.

-Come on!

0:03:220:03:24

-Ooops!

-Oh, Elephant! Help the monkeys, please.

0:03:240:03:29

Right-oh! Ha ha!

0:03:290:03:31

-Thank you, Elephant.

-Thank you, Elephant.

-Asante.

0:03:310:03:34

Aren't you coming, Squirrel? It's important!

0:03:340:03:37

I'll be there in a minute, Tortoise. Got to be neat, got to be nice...

0:03:370:03:41

I don't know, no mangoes in Tinga Tinga

0:03:410:03:44

and Squirrel is too busy braiding her tail to...

0:03:440:03:47

Elephant! Monkeys! Wait for me!

0:03:470:03:50

-Ooh! Squirrel! What pretty braiding.

-Oh, thank you, Spider. Asante.

0:03:500:03:56

You know how it is,

0:03:560:03:58

got to be neat, got to look nice.

0:03:580:04:00

Oh, I know! I can't bear it if one thread on my web is broken.

0:04:000:04:04

-There! Perfect.

-You know, Squirrel.

0:04:040:04:09

I could weave some flowers into your tail if you like,

0:04:090:04:12

add that finishing touch.

0:04:120:04:14

-Ooh! Would you?

-It would be my pleasure.

0:04:140:04:19

Well, now you mention it, I can't find any truffles.

0:04:300:04:33

And there are hardly any termites.

0:04:330:04:35

No worms either.

0:04:350:04:37

-This is not good, this is not good.

-And we ate the last mango.

0:04:370:04:41

Oh, no! Was that the last mango?

0:04:410:04:44

Did you eat the last mango in the whole of Tinga Tinga for ever?!

0:04:440:04:48

Easy, Elephant, easy. Bees?

0:04:480:04:51

# There's no honey left No honey, doo-doo. #

0:04:510:04:54

There's not enough food!

0:04:540:04:56

Hmm. And what about the nut situation? Where is Squirrel?

0:04:560:05:01

She's braiding her bushy tail. Down by the mango tree.

0:05:010:05:04

When there is no food?!

0:05:040:05:06

No food, no food! What am I going to do?!

0:05:060:05:09

-Oh, oh!

-Eh!

-Calm down, Elephant.

0:05:090:05:13

-Everything will be OK.

-Thank you, Your Majesty.

0:05:130:05:17

Now, animals - listen.

0:05:170:05:20

This is a time when we must all work together.

0:05:200:05:23

Food is short, but together we can find enough food for everyone!

0:05:230:05:28

Isn't that right, ants?

0:05:280:05:30

Together, we can do anything!

0:05:300:05:32

Together! Pamoja! Together, pamoja, together!

0:05:320:05:36

That's the spirit.

0:05:360:05:38

If we all make an effort, there will be enough food for everyone.

0:05:380:05:42

Now, go! Look under every leaf, look under every rock.

0:05:420:05:47

Together! Pamoja! Together, pamoja, together!

0:05:470:05:51

Together! Pamoja! Together, pamoja, together!

0:05:510:05:56

# If we all work together...

0:05:570:06:00

-A banana!

-# Together you will see

0:06:000:06:03

# All of us together

0:06:030:06:04

# And none of us hungry

0:06:040:06:06

# If we all work together Together me and you

0:06:060:06:10

# Together is Pamoja

0:06:100:06:14

# There's nothing we can't do

0:06:140:06:15

# Pamoja! Together!

0:06:150:06:18

# Together! Pamoja!

0:06:180:06:20

# Together! Pamoja! Together! Together! Pamoja!

0:06:200:06:25

# Together, together, together... #

0:06:250:06:28

Hand over once, hand over twice, got to look neat, got to look nice.

0:06:280:06:32

Together. Pamoja. Together.

0:06:320:06:35

Squirrel! Spider! All the animals are searching for food.

0:06:350:06:39

I'll be with you in a minute.

0:06:390:06:41

Got to be neat, got to be nice...

0:06:410:06:43

Unbelievable!

0:06:430:06:44

Hand over once, hand over twice, got to look neat, got to look nice.

0:06:440:06:49

If we all work together, together we will see... #

0:06:490:06:52

-Very impressive. Very impressive.

-Some worms.

0:06:520:06:56

-A mango.

-Three bananas.

0:06:560:07:00

-Palm tree.

-And two ticks.

0:07:000:07:03

# Together, together, pamoja, wooo! #

0:07:030:07:06

Congratulations, animals. Enough food for everybody.

0:07:060:07:10

-Wooo!

-Hooray!

0:07:100:07:12

But where is Squirrel?

0:07:120:07:14

-Ummm...

-Errrr...

-Well...

0:07:140:07:17

The last time I saw Squirrel, Spider was braiding flowers into her tail.

0:07:170:07:24

-When every beast is searching for food?!

-Uh-huh.

0:07:240:07:28

In times of trouble animals must work together.

0:07:280:07:32

This is not the time to weave fancy flowers into bushy tails.

0:07:320:07:36

-Now everyone, cover up the food.

-But!

-But!

-But!

-But!

-No buts.

0:07:360:07:42

-Squirrel must learn.

-Hide!

-Shhh!

-Huh!

0:07:420:07:47

Squirrel.

0:07:470:07:51

-Yes, Your Majesty?

-Squirrel and Spider.

0:07:510:07:55

-Have you brought food for us?

-Uhh...

0:07:550:07:58

Well, not exactly, Your Majesty.

0:07:580:08:00

You see, Squirrel's tail came undone and looked a complete mess.

0:08:000:08:04

Got to be neat, got to be nice, Your Majesty.

0:08:040:08:07

-But we have no food.

-No food!

-No, no food at all.

-Huh? No food!

0:08:070:08:15

-No, dear, nothing at all.

-Not a single leaf.

0:08:150:08:21

-Uh-uh. No food.

-No.

0:08:210:08:23

-Do you have any food for us to eat? A nut maybe?

-Two or three nuts?

0:08:230:08:28

I'm terribly sorry, I didn't realise. I haven't got anything!

0:08:280:08:33

Except a very pretty tail.

0:08:330:08:35

Forget the tail, there isn't any food!

0:08:350:08:38

No food, no food for anyone! Must find nut. I've got it, got it!

0:08:380:08:46

There we are, Your Majesty. Just a minute, I've got to find...

0:08:460:08:50

-Ha ha ha! I love nuts!

-Shhh, Elephant. Spider?

0:08:500:08:56

Of course, Your Majesty. I'll spin a web and catch some flies right away!

0:08:560:09:01

Ha ha ha.

0:09:010:09:03

Must find a nut, must find lots of nuts.

0:09:030:09:06

Where are they? Where are they? Come on, come on.

0:09:060:09:09

Well, Squirrel can be quite useful when she's not braiding her tail.

0:09:090:09:15

-There.

-Better late than never, Squirrel.

0:09:150:09:17

-Can't have animals going hungry, Your Majesty.

-Precisely, ha ha ha.

0:09:170:09:22

Must find a nut, where are they?

0:09:220:09:24

Catch some flies, Spider, quick! All the animals are hungry.

0:09:250:09:29

There aren't any flies!

0:09:290:09:31

Then must gather nuts, must gather nuts.

0:09:310:09:35

Oh...

0:09:350:09:36

BOING!

0:09:360:09:39

Huh! Squirrel! Your tail! Your tail's gone all bushy!

0:09:390:09:44

Oh, forget the tail, forget the silly tail.

0:09:440:09:46

But, got to be neat, got to be tidy.

0:09:460:09:48

Got to gather nuts, got to find nuts.

0:09:480:09:51

That's enough, Squirrel. You can slow down now.

0:09:540:09:57

Oh, no, I can't, Your Majesty. Got to gather nuts, got to find nuts.

0:09:570:10:01

-Squirrel, it's OK.

-Yes, Squirrel, look!

0:10:010:10:05

Squirrel, dear, the nuts are wonderful, but look!

0:10:050:10:09

-We did all find a bit of food.

-But we can never have too much food.

0:10:090:10:16

...nut, must find lots of nuts. Must find a nut...

0:10:160:10:19

Squirrel! Stop!

0:10:190:10:21

-That's enough!

-That's enough for a few days.

0:10:210:10:26

Well, I don't think we'll be running out of food again

0:10:260:10:29

for quite some time.

0:10:290:10:31

Got to gather nuts, got to find nuts...

0:10:310:10:33

And that's why Squirrel gathers nuts.

0:10:330:10:36

In fact, from that day on, she gathered nuts, all day, everyday.

0:10:360:10:41

That's lucky, because I love nuts!

0:10:410:10:45

-Spider, have you caught any fly food yet?

-Oh, no, sorry, Your Majesty.

0:10:450:10:50

-Nothing yet!

-Hmm.

-And spider and her web...

-Oh!

0:10:500:10:56

Well, that's a whole other story, hee-hee-hee!

0:10:560:11:00

-# Beneath the Tinga sky... #

-Whoo!
