-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. #

-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:01:00

You see, there was a time when Leopard didn't have spots.

0:01:050:01:08

Shh, Monkey.

0:01:080:01:10

(No spots at all. And she was very, very shy.)

0:01:100:01:14

-There she is, there she is.

-Where is she?

0:01:140:01:18

-She's hidden again.

-Ohh!

0:01:180:01:21

Come on, let's find her.

0:01:210:01:22

You see, Leopard didn't feel as special as all the other animals.

0:01:220:01:26

Her coat was as plain as plain can be.

0:01:260:01:29

So Leopard hid herself away.

0:01:290:01:33

LAUGHTER

0:01:330:01:34

-How many spots have you got?

-I've got lots.

0:01:400:01:42

Not as many as me.

0:01:420:01:44

When you grow up, you're going to be beautiful cats.

0:01:440:01:47

Oh!

0:01:470:01:49

Huh!

0:01:530:01:55

Leopard, is that you?

0:01:550:01:57

Jambo, Your Majesty.

0:01:570:01:59

Come out and say hello. It's been a while since I saw you.

0:01:590:02:03

I like it that way, sir.

0:02:030:02:05

But I do wish you a very good day.

0:02:050:02:08

And to you too, Leopard.

0:02:080:02:10

-Ooh, guess who we just saw?

-We've just spotted Leopard.

0:02:100:02:14

But Leopard doesn't have any spots.

0:02:140:02:16

Yes, we know, but they just spotted her.

0:02:160:02:20

But Leopard doesn't have any spots, Monkey.

0:02:200:02:23

Oh, Elephant, the monkeys just saw Leopard.

0:02:230:02:27

-You saw Leopard? How exciting.

-Where was she?

0:02:270:02:30

-Near Mama Cheetah.

-Come on, come on.

0:02:300:02:33

Let's find her.

0:02:350:02:37

Another beautiful day in Tinga Tinga.

0:02:370:02:40

ANIMALS CHATTER

0:02:400:02:41

-Was she over here?

-Leopard was over there.

0:02:410:02:44

Oh, no, animals!

0:02:440:02:46

Ah! Hiss...

0:02:480:02:49

-Oh, no, I've just squished Puff Adder.

-Oh!

0:02:490:02:53

-What do I do now?

-Stay calm, everyone.

0:02:530:02:58

Now, Elephant, lift up your foot... Slowly now.

0:02:580:03:01

That's it, gently does it.

0:03:010:03:04

Now what do I do?

0:03:040:03:05

-RUN!

-Run!

-Run!

-Run, everyone!

0:03:060:03:09

ALL: Run! Run!

0:03:090:03:10

Wait for me!

0:03:100:03:12

Oh, dear!

0:03:130:03:14

I'm squashed and completely out of puff.

0:03:140:03:19

-Somebody help me?

-Oh, my.

0:03:190:03:22

You're lucky, Elephant. Puff Adder could have bitten you!

0:03:220:03:26

That was close! Close!

0:03:260:03:28

I hope he's OK.

0:03:290:03:31

PUFF ADDER STRUGGLES

0:03:310:03:33

Oh, dear. I can't wriggle. Or squiggle!

0:03:330:03:37

Can some animal help me?

0:03:370:03:39

Not me.

0:03:390:03:40

Mm.

0:03:400:03:41

I'll help you, Puff Adder.

0:03:410:03:44

-Leopard?!

-Shh!

0:03:440:03:47

I'll help you if you promise not to bite me.

0:03:470:03:50

I promise. I only bite if you frighten me or make me jump.

0:03:500:03:56

-Then let's see if we can... lift you up...

-Ooh!

0:03:560:04:01

-..and just get you back home, OK?

-Most kind.

0:04:010:04:06

What?! The others will never believe it.

0:04:060:04:09

-I don't believe it.

-I don't believe it.

0:04:090:04:12

-I knew you wouldn't!

-Puff Adder didn't bite her?

-No!

0:04:120:04:16

But Puff Adder always bites!

0:04:160:04:18

Not this time, he didn't.

0:04:180:04:19

When Puff Adder feels better, he'll want to bite. I must warn Leopard.

0:04:190:04:25

-Can I come?

-No. It's dangerous.

-But I've never seen Leopard!

-No buts.

0:04:250:04:32

Oh!

0:04:320:04:33

-I'm going to follow Lion.

-You can't!

-No, Monkey! Don't do it!

-I can!

0:04:330:04:39

Oh, thank you, Leopard. Very, very kind.

0:04:390:04:43

-Even I'm a little out of puff.

-I'm not sure I'll ever puff again.

0:04:460:04:51

Course you will. A little food - that's what you need.

0:04:510:04:55

Fill you out a bit.

0:04:550:04:56

You would go and find food for me?

0:04:560:05:00

Of course. Every animal must eat. You'll get your strength back.

0:05:000:05:05

-I won't be long.

-Remarkable. Such kindness!

0:05:050:05:10

RUSTLING

0:05:120:05:14

Huh?

0:05:140:05:15

-RUSTLING

-Monkey?

0:05:170:05:19

Jambo, Lion. I... I thought you might need some help.

0:05:200:05:24

Or get lonely. Or...

0:05:240:05:26

-Shall I go back to the water hole?

-No, it's too far.

0:05:260:05:31

-Come on. You better stay with me.

-Hee-hee! Good!

0:05:310:05:35

Because I can help you find Puff Adder. I'm good at finding things.

0:05:350:05:40

How do you feel?

0:05:430:05:45

I do feel a lot better now.

0:05:450:05:47

I can wriggle.

0:05:470:05:50

HE CHUCKLES

0:05:550:05:57

Puffed up again and all rounded!

0:05:570:06:00

THEY LAUGH

0:06:000:06:01

Back to your old self.

0:06:010:06:04

Not quite. There's one more thing. Watch this.

0:06:040:06:09

Well, I've never seen that before!

0:06:160:06:20

Shedding my skin. Mm. It's a special trick of mine.

0:06:200:06:24

Now I'm back to my NEW self!

0:06:240:06:26

Oh, I wish I could have pretty colours and beautiful new skin.

0:06:260:06:32

-Is that what you really want?

-Mm. My coat is as plain as plain can be!

0:06:320:06:38

Maybe this time I can help you.

0:06:380:06:42

But you must trust me one more time.

0:06:420:06:44

-would you do that, my friend?

-Of course. But how?

0:06:440:06:48

I need to make a tiny nip on the end of your tail.

0:06:480:06:53

Bite me?! But you promised!

0:06:530:06:56

Ah-ah! It's not a BITE, Leopard. It's a tiny nip.

0:06:560:07:01

And it won't hurt. Trust me.

0:07:010:07:03

Mm...OK. Sawa.

0:07:030:07:06

Did that hurt?

0:07:080:07:10

Not a bit.

0:07:100:07:11

Soon you will have a coat more beautiful than any animal ever seen.

0:07:110:07:18

# It's time to sleep

0:07:180:07:21

# Sleep true, sleep deep

0:07:210:07:24

# Dream nice, dream long

0:07:240:07:30

# I'll sing my song

0:07:310:07:35

# And watch you while you dream along

0:07:350:07:40

# Dream of Tinga

0:07:420:07:46

# Dream of spots. #

0:07:460:07:50

Well, look at you!

0:07:580:08:00

SHE GASPS

0:08:000:08:01

Oh! My coat!

0:08:010:08:05

It's beautiful! It's really, truly beautiful!

0:08:050:08:10

I... I don't know what to say!

0:08:100:08:12

Asante Rafiki. Thank you, dear friend.

0:08:120:08:16

It was my pleasure. One kindness deserves another.

0:08:160:08:21

I really must go. I feel the need to wriggle all over Tinga Tinga.

0:08:210:08:25

-Come and see me again, very soon.

-I will!

0:08:270:08:32

Leopard! >

0:08:330:08:35

Where are you? Leopard?

0:08:350:08:37

Better wriggle out of their way.

0:08:370:08:40

-Leopard?

-Where are you?

0:08:400:08:42

-Leopard!

-Look what I found! Snake slithers!

0:08:420:08:47

I told you I'd find Puff Adder!

0:08:470:08:49

Puff Adder must be better.

0:08:490:08:51

Quickly! We must see if Leopard is all right.

0:08:510:08:54

-Oh!

-Leopard!

0:08:540:08:56

-Leopard!

-Leopard?

0:08:560:08:59

Leopard!

0:08:590:09:02

Leopard! Are you all right?

0:09:020:09:04

Jambo, Lion. Jambo, Monkey.

0:09:040:09:07

How nice to see you.

0:09:070:09:09

Why are you staring?

0:09:090:09:11

What's the matter?

0:09:110:09:13

Leopard, you have changed completely!

0:09:130:09:16

Your coat! It's beautiful!

0:09:160:09:20

Does it suit me?

0:09:200:09:22

-You're even more beautiful than you were before!

-Hee-hee!

0:09:220:09:26

Oh, thank you, Lion. It's all down to my friend, Puff Adder.

0:09:260:09:31

-Puff Adder?

-Huh?

0:09:310:09:33

Yes, I helped him and he repaid me with this beautiful new coat

0:09:330:09:38

in his colours.

0:09:380:09:39

Leopard! Come and show everyone at the water hole! Please!

0:09:390:09:44

No, no, no, Monkey.

0:09:440:09:45

You know I like to keep myself to myself.

0:09:450:09:48

But they're the best spots I've ever seen!

0:09:480:09:51

The others can see them when they see them.

0:09:510:09:55

But you have to come to the water hole!

0:09:550:09:58

-You have to tell everybody what's happened!

-You tell them.

0:09:580:10:02

They'll never believe me.

0:10:020:10:04

There. They will now.

0:10:040:10:07

THEY CHUCKLE

0:10:070:10:08

Look, Lion! Look!

0:10:080:10:10

And then I wrestled Puff Adder to the ground.

0:10:110:10:15

"Stand back!" I said to Leopard.

0:10:170:10:19

"Stand back!"

0:10:190:10:20

-THEY GASP

-Really?

-Wow!

0:10:200:10:22

But I wasn't scared! Oh, no, not me!

0:10:220:10:25

-I wrestled Puff Adder to the ground and then...

-Ah-ah! Monkey!

0:10:250:10:30

OK, so it wasn't me. Hee-hee.

0:10:300:10:33

It was Puff Adder!

0:10:330:10:34

-ALL: Puff Adder?!

-No!

0:10:340:10:37

Puff Adder bit Leopard on the end of her tail

0:10:370:10:40

and that's why Leopard has spots!

0:10:400:10:42

-Never!

-No!

0:10:420:10:45

It's true! Look!

0:10:450:10:47

That's Puff Adder's skin!

0:10:470:10:49

And what happened to Puff Adder?

0:10:490:10:51

And Puff Adder shedding his skin?

0:10:510:10:53

Well, that's a whole other story!

0:10:530:10:56

Ahh! Ahh!

0:10:560:10:58

Hee-hee!

0:10:580:11:00
