0:00:550:01:00

-Why Cheetah has tears.

-Jambo, Monkey.

0:01:000:01:04

See her tears? Every Cheetah has tears.

0:01:040:01:08

-Coming to the race?

-Oh, yes!

-Well, chop-chop, hurry up, then.

0:01:080:01:13

But there was a time when Cheetah didn't have tears.

0:01:130:01:16

All the animals loved Mama Cheetah

0:01:160:01:19

cos she was the fastest animal in the whole kingdom.

0:01:190:01:23

Oof!

0:01:230:01:24

Sorry, Mama Cheetah!

0:01:240:01:26

Ah, Cheetah!

0:01:260:01:28

Karibu, welcome. Now, where is Wind?

0:01:280:01:31

ALL: Where is Wind?

0:01:310:01:33

Here I am, here I am.

0:01:330:01:36

A-ha, there you are. Karibu, Wind.

0:01:360:01:38

Welcome. Now we are ready.

0:01:380:01:40

Animals, it is time for our favourite race.

0:01:400:01:44

Cheetah versus Wind!

0:01:440:01:48

ALL: Yay!

0:01:480:01:50

And the cheetah has never lost,

0:01:500:01:52

because Mama Cheetah is faster than even the wind.

0:01:520:01:56

ALL: Cheetah, Cheetah!

0:01:560:01:57

We love you, Mama Cheetah!

0:01:570:01:59

Huh! Every beast loves Mama Cheetah.

0:01:590:02:02

Well, I don't! Come on, Wind!

0:02:020:02:05

Feeling a little grumpy this morning are we, Croc? Hm?

0:02:050:02:08

Huh! I'm not grumpy and don't call me Croc!

0:02:080:02:14

Pole, sorry, Crocodile.

0:02:140:02:16

Meerkat? The rules, please.

0:02:160:02:20

The rules are as follows. One lap around the whole of Tinga Tinga.

0:02:200:02:26

ALL: And which way do they go?

0:02:260:02:28

From here to the Tinga bird tree,

0:02:280:02:30

then, around the waterhole,

0:02:300:02:34

through the mango grove,

0:02:340:02:36

past Flamingo Lake,

0:02:360:02:38

across the plains, making sure not to wake up the Sleeping Stones,

0:02:380:02:42

through the swamp, but..

0:02:420:02:44

ALL: Look out for Snake and Crocodile!

0:02:440:02:47

And the first one back is...

0:02:470:02:48

The winner!

0:02:480:02:50

Cheetah, are you ready?

0:02:500:02:52

Yes, your majesty.

0:02:520:02:53

Wind, are you ready?

0:02:530:02:55

Yes, yes, yes.

0:02:550:02:57

Then let the race begin!

0:02:570:02:59

ALL CHEER

0:02:590:03:01

We love you, Mama Cheetah!

0:03:010:03:03

Huh! We love you, Mama Cheetah.

0:03:030:03:05

Animals, to your posts.

0:03:050:03:06

And remember, always on the look-out.

0:03:060:03:08

ALL: Always on the look-out!

0:03:080:03:12

Well, I won't look out for anyone.

0:03:120:03:14

Ooh, so grumpy!

0:03:140:03:15

Rarr!

0:03:150:03:16

MONKEYS LAUGH

0:03:160:03:18

# Go, Cheetah, go. Go, Cheetah, go

0:03:180:03:21

# Go, Cheetah, go! Go, Cheetah, go!

0:03:210:03:25

# Cheetah go! Cheetah go! #

0:03:250:03:27

Oh! Oh, look! Here they come! Here they come!

0:03:270:03:31

-Where, where?

-They passed us, Elephant!

0:03:310:03:34

Always on the look-out, Elephant!

0:03:340:03:36

Come on, let's get back to the finishing line!

0:03:360:03:39

Yes, let's see Mama Cheetah win again.

0:03:390:03:42

Do you think I will actually see Mama Cheetah win,

0:03:420:03:45

or do you think it will just be another - vroom!

0:03:450:03:48

-Like that?

-All this racing around

0:03:480:03:50

never did no beast no good.

0:03:500:03:53

Oh, no! Wind is winning!

0:03:560:03:59

Go, Mama Cheetah! We love you, Mama Cheetah!

0:03:590:04:01

Thank you, monkeys! Hee-hee!

0:04:010:04:04

# You'll never beat-ah a lovely cheetah!

0:04:080:04:11

# You'll never beat-ah beat-ah Cheetah!.. #

0:04:110:04:15

Jambo, Flamingos! Jambo, Crabs!

0:04:150:04:18

-Grass.

-Grass.

-Grass.

0:04:180:04:22

-Run, Mama Cheetah, run!

-Run?

-Run?

-Not you, Wildebeest. You eat grass!

0:04:220:04:28

-Grass.

-Grass.

-Grass.

-And remember,

0:04:280:04:32

don't wake up the Sleeping Stones!

0:04:320:04:35

Thank you, Buffalo! Ha-ha-ha!

0:04:350:04:37

Don't wake the Sleeping Stones!

0:04:370:04:39

Hm, Mama Cheetah's going to win again.

0:04:410:04:45

SLEEPING STONE CHUCKLES

0:04:450:04:47

Just the swamp and Rock to go!

0:04:470:04:51

Ah! Eh!

0:04:550:04:57

Hup! Oh!

0:04:570:05:00

O-ow!

0:05:000:05:02

Oh, dear!

0:05:020:05:04

Ah! Grr!

0:05:040:05:08

Hello? Will some animal help me?

0:05:080:05:12

O-oh! Rr!

0:05:150:05:18

-He-elp! Please?

-Huh!

-Ah!

0:05:180:05:21

-Mama Cheetah.

-Oh, Crocodile! Can you help me?

0:05:210:05:25

Did some beast say the word "help"?

0:05:250:05:28

I don't think I heard the word "help".

0:05:280:05:31

-Did you?

-No-o!

0:05:310:05:33

I didn't hear the word "help" at all!

0:05:330:05:37

Me neither.

0:05:370:05:39

ANIMALS LAUGH

0:05:390:05:41

But I've got a stick in my paw. Please, help me.

0:05:410:05:45

And why should we help you, when no beast has ever helped us?

0:05:450:05:49

In fact, no beast even likes us.

0:05:490:05:52

-But I'm stuck!

-I am going to win!

0:05:520:05:56

Not so fast now, are you, Mama Cheetah?

0:05:590:06:03

CHEETAH SOBS

0:06:090:06:12

Oh! Oh, no! It's Wind!

0:06:140:06:18

-Wind is going to win the race! Look!

-What's happening? What is going on?

0:06:180:06:23

-Look!

-I've won the race!

0:06:230:06:26

-Huh?

-I've won the race!

0:06:260:06:31

I've won the race!

0:06:310:06:34

Woo-hoo, I've won the race!

0:06:340:06:36

Yes, yes, very good, Wind. But where is Mama Cheetah?

0:06:360:06:40

She's back at the swamp, she's back at the swamp.

0:06:400:06:43

Hm, something must have happened to Mama Cheetah.

0:06:440:06:48

-Come on, we must help her.

-Yes, we must help her.

-Quickly!

0:06:480:06:52

CHEETAH SOBS

0:06:520:06:55

-Mama Cheetah!

-Mama Cheetah!

0:07:000:07:02

ALL: Mama Cheetah!

0:07:020:07:04

I'm sorry I didn't win the race, but my paw got stuck and I can't move.

0:07:040:07:10

No-one's worried about the race. We've come to help you.

0:07:100:07:13

Animals, haraka! Quickly!

0:07:130:07:16

Don't worry, dear. I'll help. Now, grab hold of my horns.

0:07:160:07:20

Oh! Oh, no! I can't reach!

0:07:200:07:25

Don't worry, Mama Cheetah! We'll help you.

0:07:250:07:28

We'll help!

0:07:280:07:30

Ah! Oh, dear!

0:07:330:07:35

I'll help! I can just walk out,

0:07:350:07:39

and you can hold on to my tru... Woah!

0:07:390:07:41

Oh, no! I'm sinking!

0:07:410:07:45

Come back, Elephant! That's swamp mud.

0:07:450:07:49

CHEETAH SOBS

0:07:490:07:51

-Oh!

-What are we going to do?

-Oh, dear!

0:07:510:07:54

-Oh! May I make a suggestion?

-Please do, Tortoise.

0:07:540:07:58

I suggest that we go into the forest and get lots of trees.

0:07:580:08:01

You'll be good at that, Elephant.

0:08:010:08:03

Then we can make a big bridge that goes all the way to Cheetah.

0:08:030:08:08

-Brilliant!

-Good idea!

0:08:080:08:10

Meerkat, be on the look-out.

0:08:100:08:13

There are nasty animals around these parts.

0:08:130:08:15

Always on the look-out, always on the look-out.

0:08:150:08:18

CHEETAH SOBS

0:08:180:08:21

Oh, don't worry, Mama Cheetah,

0:08:210:08:23

The others won't be long and I'm here.

0:08:230:08:26

Always on the look-out, always on the look-out!

0:08:260:08:28

BRANCHES BREAKING

0:08:280:08:30

-Oh!

-I will be right back.

0:08:300:08:32

-Hmm.

-Oh, Crocodile!

0:08:350:08:37

Not a word. Don't say a word.

0:08:370:08:40

-But, I...

-Ah-ah! Not a word, I said.

0:08:460:08:51

-Oh!

-Hm!

0:08:530:08:55

-Oh!

-There. How does that feel?

-It feels all better!

0:08:570:09:03

Oh, thank you, Crocodile! Thank you! Asante!

0:09:030:09:08

What? Why are you still crying?

0:09:080:09:10

These are tears of joy. My tears of pain have turned to tears of joy!

0:09:100:09:17

-Unbelievable!

-Who would have known a crocodile could be so kind?

0:09:170:09:23

Well, don't tell anyone! Not a word!

0:09:230:09:27

Crocodiles aren't supposed to do kind. Grr!

0:09:270:09:31

CHEETAH LAUGHS

0:09:310:09:34

-Mama Cheetah!

-Mama Cheetah!

0:09:340:09:36

-ALL: Mama Cheetah!

-You're all better!

0:09:360:09:39

Yes! I am! I'm all better!

0:09:390:09:43

Who made you better?

0:09:430:09:44

Yeah, who was it, who was it?

0:09:440:09:46

Yes, who was it?

0:09:460:09:47

Oh, er...

0:09:470:09:49

Shhh! Not a word!

0:09:490:09:53

Oh, I can't say.

0:09:540:09:58

Let's wipe away those tears.

0:09:580:10:00

They look so sad.

0:10:000:10:02

-Oh!

-Huh?

-They won't...go!

0:10:020:10:05

Leave them, monkeys.

0:10:050:10:07

-I want to keep my tears.

-Why?

0:10:070:10:11

To always remind me

0:10:110:10:13

that even big, nasty things

0:10:130:10:15

can do nice, kind things.

0:10:150:10:17

THEY LAUGH

0:10:170:10:19

Look out! Crocodile about!

0:10:190:10:21

A-ha! It was Crocodile, wasn't it?

0:10:210:10:25

It was big, nasty Crocodile who helped you!

0:10:250:10:27

I can't say, Tortoise.

0:10:270:10:29

CHEETAH LAUGHS

0:10:290:10:30

Not a word!

0:10:300:10:31

And that's why Cheetah has tears.

0:10:330:10:36

From that day on, Mama Cheetah and all her little baby cheetahs

0:10:360:10:41

always have tears, to remind them that sometimes

0:10:410:10:44

even big, nasty things can do nice, kind things.

0:10:440:10:50

It was! It was definitely Crocodile! Look!

0:10:500:10:53

And meerkats, always on the look-out?

0:10:530:10:56

Well, that's a whole other story!

0:10:560:11:00
