-Always on the lookout, Monkey. Always on the lookout. -Hee-hee-hee. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
-But there was a time when Meerkat was never on the lookout. -Oooh. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
-Oooh. -Do you think the sleeping stones are really sleeping? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
-I don't know. -Lion says no animal must ever touch the sleeping stones. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:24 | |
-Oooh. -Oooh. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-'Whoopee!' -Oooph! -Oooph! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-Jambo, Monkeys! -Meerkat! -Meerkat! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
In fact, Meerkat was always running all over Tinga Tinga | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
and bumping into things. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
What are you doing? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
We were wondering what would happen if you touched the sleeping stones. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
No, we weren't! We were just going to... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
see the birds doing their singing practice. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-Oh, oh! I want to go, I want to go. -Oh, Meerkat, look out! | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-Mind the prickly bush! -Weeee! Woo-hoo! Yeah! | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
-Mind the log! -Weee! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-It's not a log, it's Crocodile. -Huh! | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-Oh, and watch out for... -Ooooph! -..Lion. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
-Hmm, good morning, Meerkat. -Jambo, Your Majesty. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
Were you playing near the sleeping stones? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-No. -Because you know you must never touch the sleeping stones. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
Yes, Your Majesty, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
I was going to the birds' singing practice. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
-Very well. -Woo! Yay-hey! -Meerkat, be careful, please! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:36 | |
Never mind, ha ha ha. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Birds! Singing practice. Let's start with the dawn chorus. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
The sun is rising, and... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
# Good morning, habari good morning | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
# Another brand-new day... # | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-I love it when the birds sing. -I know, it makes you feel all, ooooh! | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
Ha ha ha. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
More harmonies, birds, more harmonies. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
# Habari, habari, habari. # | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
There's nothing better than growing old | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
to the sweet sounds of the birds. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
173 years I've been listening to them, 173! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:18 | |
'Has it started?' | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Wow, ah, eee! | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Be careful, Meerkat! -Watch where you're going! | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-Wow. -Ohhh. -Owww, Meerkat! | 0:03:25 | 0:03:31 | |
Umm, it was me, actually, I didn't mean to make a smell. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
It's not your fault, Skunk. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
You've got to look where you're going. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
Oops, sorry. Woo-hooo! Yay! | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
It just slipped out, I couldn't help it. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
Don't worry, Skunk. I do it all the time. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-Ha ha ha! -Ha ha ha. -Hee-hee. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Keep going. Dig, Mole. Dig, Aardvark. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
How deep is the hole now? How many digs? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-330. -331. -332. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
Keep going, keep going. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
We need to know how many digs makes the deepest hole. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
-Don't stop counting! -Guinea Fowl, Guinea Fowl. Wow, ooh! | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
Careful, Meerkat, watch where you're going! | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Aardvark and Mole are digging a very big...hole. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Oh, waa, hey, wooo! | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
-345. -346. -340... Oooph! Oh, Meerkat! | 0:04:28 | 0:04:36 | |
What are you doing? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
Counting how many digs make the deepest hole! | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
And...how many is it? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
-Ummm...I can't remember. -Oh, no! I've lost count! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
-So how many digs was it? -We can't remember! -Meerkat! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
Ooops! Sorry! Oh. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
We have to do something about Meerkat. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Your Majesty, Meerkat never looks before she runs. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
She never looks before she does anything! | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
Yes, it has come to my attention. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-May I make a suggestion, Your Majesty? -Please do, Tortoise. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
We choose an animal to keep watch over young Meerkat. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
Teach her to look before she leaps. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
But Meerkat doesn't stay still enough to listen to anybody. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
We must try. Any volunteers? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
I'll watch over Meerkat. Maybe I'll find out why she never looks out. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
Excellent idea, Guinea Fowl, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
maybe you can persuade her to change? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-I love a challenge, Your Majesty. -Well, now you have one. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
But do not let young Meerkat go anywhere near those sleeping stones. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
-We don't want her waking up the stones. -What would happen? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
What would happen? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
No beast knows and no beast needs to know. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
Well, I'd be interested to find out, because... | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
Tortoise, no beast touches the stones! It is nature's way. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
Yes, Your Majesty. Of course, Your Majesty. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
Now, lala salama, everybody. Time to sleep. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
'Wee! Woo-hoo!' | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
Ha ha ha ha! Woo! Yip, yip! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
Slow down, Meerkat, why do you have to run everywhere? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Oooh, ha-ha! Weee! | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
-Ohh, watch out for Warthog! -Hee-heeee! | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
-Sorry, Warthog. -Huh! Meerkat! Humph! | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
Wee! Ooh-hoo-hoo. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Now, Meerkat, slow down, and look before you... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
-step on Tortoise! Sorry, Tortoise. -That's OK, I'm used to it. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:55 | |
-Woo, ha, woo-hoo! -Huhh. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Meerkat, you really must look out for others. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
That animal doesn't stay still long enough to listen to anybody! | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
Come back here, Meerkat. Come back right now. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
-I want to find the monkeys. -The monkeys are back there! | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
'They could be this way.' | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Ohhhh, oh, Meerkat, slow down! I'm not sure where we are. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:20 | |
We could be miles away, we could be... Oh! No! The sleeping stones! | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
Don't worry, Guinea Fowl, we're not that far away. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-Meerkat, the sleeping stones! Look out! -Huh-ha ha, woo-oo. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:35 | |
-Woo-huuhh, woo, wow! Oooh! -Oh, no! | 0:07:35 | 0:07:43 | |
Hrrrrr. Ooooh, uhhh. Rrrroooaaaa... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:50 | |
-Meerkat. Listen. -Huh! | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
You have awoken the stones. Now you must listen. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:01 | |
Are you listening? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Mmmm, yeh, mmmm, yeh. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
In the past, Meerkat, you have never looked out for anyone or anything. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
But now, you must hold your nose high. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
And you must always be on the lookout. Do you understand me? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:21 | |
Huhhh, uhhh, ooh, I must hold my nose high | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
and always be on the lookout. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Always on the lookout, always on the lookout. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-Always on the lookout. -Ha-ha-ha. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
Very good, Meerkat. Mmmm... | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
-Incredible! -I know! The stones spoke to me! | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
What did they say? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Nose high, and always be on the lookout. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
And for the very first time you listened?! | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
It was hard not to! Did you see how big those stones were? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
You've got to be on the lookout, Guinea Fowl, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
you've got to be on the lookout. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
Ha-ha, very good, Meerkat, very good. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
Huh. Hmm. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Look out for those puddles, Guinea Fowl, look out for those puddles. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
Thank you, Meerkat. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
Oh! There's a branch! | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
Look out for the branch, Guinea Fowl! | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
Thank you, Meerkat, asante. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
Always on the lookout, always on the lookout. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
Ah! Nasty rocks ahead! Look out for the rocks. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
-It's remarkable. -Hee-hee-hoo-hoo. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
And then, Your Majesty, Meerkat kept on running! | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
And she ran straight into the sleeping stones! | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
-Huh! -The sleeping stones! | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-She touched the sleeping stones?! -I did, I did, yes. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
And what happened? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
Well, they woke up and they said, | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
"Meerkat, you must hold your nose high and always be on the lookout!" | 0:10:06 | 0:10:13 | |
Wise words. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
So from now on, instead of us having to look out for Meerkat, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
she can look out for us! | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
Always on the lookout. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Well done, Meerkat! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
That's why Meerkat is always on the lookout! Hee-hee-hee! | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
Always on the lookout! | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
-Always on the lookout! -Ha ha! -# Always on the lookout. -# | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
From the day she woke up the sleeping stones, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Meerkat became the lookout for the whole of Tinga Tinga. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
-Monkey, who are you talking to? -Hee-hee-hee! -I can't see anyone. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
Who are you talking to? And why are you talking to them? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
And Guinea Fowl and her questions, that's a whole other story. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
Hee-hee-hee! | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
