0:01:05 > 0:01:08You see, there was a time when Leopard didn't have spots.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Shh, Monkey.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14(No spots at all. And she was very, very shy.)
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- There she is, there she is. - Where is she?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- She's hidden again.- Ohh!
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Come on, let's find her.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26You see, Leopard didn't feel as special as all the other animals.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Her coat was as plain as plain can be.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33So Leopard hid herself away.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34LAUGHTER
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- How many spots have you got? - I've got lots.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Not as many as me.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47When you grow up, you're going to be beautiful cats.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Oh!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Huh!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Leopard, is that you?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Jambo, Your Majesty.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Come out and say hello. It's been a while since I saw you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I like it that way, sir.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08But I do wish you a very good day.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10And to you too, Leopard.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Ooh, guess who we just saw? - We've just spotted Leopard.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But Leopard doesn't have any spots.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Yes, we know, but they just spotted her.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23But Leopard doesn't have any spots, Monkey.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Oh, Elephant, the monkeys just saw Leopard.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- You saw Leopard? How exciting. - Where was she?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Near Mama Cheetah.- Come on, come on.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Let's find her.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Another beautiful day in Tinga Tinga.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41ANIMALS CHATTER
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Was she over here? - Leopard was over there.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, no, animals!
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Ah! Hiss...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Oh, no, I've just squished Puff Adder.- Oh!
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- What do I do now? - Stay calm, everyone.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Now, Elephant, lift up your foot... Slowly now.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04That's it, gently does it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Now what do I do?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- RUN!- Run!- Run!- Run, everyone!
0:03:09 > 0:03:10ALL: Run! Run!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Wait for me!
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Oh, dear!
0:03:14 > 0:03:19I'm squashed and completely out of puff.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Somebody help me?- Oh, my.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26You're lucky, Elephant. Puff Adder could have bitten you!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28That was close! Close!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I hope he's OK.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33PUFF ADDER STRUGGLES
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Oh, dear. I can't wriggle. Or squiggle!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Can some animal help me?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Not me.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Mm.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'll help you, Puff Adder.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Leopard?!- Shh!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'll help you if you promise not to bite me.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56I promise. I only bite if you frighten me or make me jump.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Then let's see if we can... lift you up...- Ooh!
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- ..and just get you back home, OK?- Most kind.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09What?! The others will never believe it.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- I don't believe it. - I don't believe it.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- I knew you wouldn't!- Puff Adder didn't bite her?- No!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18But Puff Adder always bites!
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Not this time, he didn't.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25When Puff Adder feels better, he'll want to bite. I must warn Leopard.
0:04:25 > 0:04:32- Can I come?- No. It's dangerous.- But I've never seen Leopard!- No buts.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Oh!
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- I'm going to follow Lion.- You can't! - No, Monkey! Don't do it!- I can!
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Oh, thank you, Leopard. Very, very kind.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Even I'm a little out of puff.- I'm not sure I'll ever puff again.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Course you will. A little food - that's what you need.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Fill you out a bit.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00You would go and find food for me?
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Of course. Every animal must eat. You'll get your strength back.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- I won't be long. - Remarkable. Such kindness!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14RUSTLING
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Huh?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- RUSTLING - Monkey?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Jambo, Lion. I... I thought you might need some help.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Or get lonely. Or...
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Shall I go back to the water hole? - No, it's too far.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Come on. You better stay with me. - Hee-hee! Good!
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Because I can help you find Puff Adder. I'm good at finding things.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45How do you feel?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I do feel a lot better now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I can wriggle.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57HE CHUCKLES
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Puffed up again and all rounded!
0:06:00 > 0:06:01THEY LAUGH
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Back to your old self.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09Not quite. There's one more thing. Watch this.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Well, I've never seen that before!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Shedding my skin. Mm. It's a special trick of mine.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Now I'm back to my NEW self!
0:06:26 > 0:06:32Oh, I wish I could have pretty colours and beautiful new skin.
0:06:32 > 0:06:38- Is that what you really want?- Mm. My coat is as plain as plain can be!
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Maybe this time I can help you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44But you must trust me one more time.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- would you do that, my friend? - Of course. But how?
0:06:48 > 0:06:53I need to make a tiny nip on the end of your tail.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Bite me?! But you promised!
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Ah-ah! It's not a BITE, Leopard. It's a tiny nip.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03And it won't hurt. Trust me.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Mm...OK. Sawa.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Did that hurt?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Not a bit.
0:07:11 > 0:07:18Soon you will have a coat more beautiful than any animal ever seen.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21# It's time to sleep
0:07:21 > 0:07:24# Sleep true, sleep deep
0:07:24 > 0:07:30# Dream nice, dream long
0:07:31 > 0:07:35# I'll sing my song
0:07:35 > 0:07:40# And watch you while you dream along
0:07:42 > 0:07:46# Dream of Tinga
0:07:46 > 0:07:50# Dream of spots. #
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Well, look at you!
0:08:00 > 0:08:01SHE GASPS
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Oh! My coat!
0:08:05 > 0:08:10It's beautiful! It's really, truly beautiful!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I... I don't know what to say!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Asante Rafiki. Thank you, dear friend.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21It was my pleasure. One kindness deserves another.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25I really must go. I feel the need to wriggle all over Tinga Tinga.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- Come and see me again, very soon.- I will!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Leopard! >
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Where are you? Leopard?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Better wriggle out of their way.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Leopard?- Where are you?
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- Leopard!- Look what I found! Snake slithers!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I told you I'd find Puff Adder!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Puff Adder must be better.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Quickly! We must see if Leopard is all right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Oh!- Leopard!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Leopard!- Leopard?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Leopard!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Leopard! Are you all right?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Jambo, Lion. Jambo, Monkey.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09How nice to see you.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Why are you staring?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13What's the matter?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Leopard, you have changed completely!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Your coat! It's beautiful!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Does it suit me?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- You're even more beautiful than you were before!- Hee-hee!
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Oh, thank you, Lion. It's all down to my friend, Puff Adder.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Puff Adder?- Huh?
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Yes, I helped him and he repaid me with this beautiful new coat
0:09:38 > 0:09:39in his colours.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Leopard! Come and show everyone at the water hole! Please!
0:09:44 > 0:09:45No, no, no, Monkey.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48You know I like to keep myself to myself.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51But they're the best spots I've ever seen!
0:09:51 > 0:09:55The others can see them when they see them.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But you have to come to the water hole!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- You have to tell everybody what's happened!- You tell them.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04They'll never believe me.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07There. They will now.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08THEY CHUCKLE
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Look, Lion! Look!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15And then I wrestled Puff Adder to the ground.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19"Stand back!" I said to Leopard.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20"Stand back!"
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- THEY GASP - Really?- Wow!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25But I wasn't scared! Oh, no, not me!
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- I wrestled Puff Adder to the ground and then...- Ah-ah! Monkey!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33OK, so it wasn't me. Hee-hee.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34It was Puff Adder!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- ALL: Puff Adder?! - No!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Puff Adder bit Leopard on the end of her tail
0:10:40 > 0:10:42and that's why Leopard has spots!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Never!- No!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It's true! Look!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49That's Puff Adder's skin!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51And what happened to Puff Adder?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53And Puff Adder shedding his skin?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Well, that's a whole other story!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Ahh! Ahh!
