0:01:05 > 0:01:09HE LAUGHS Come here, Monkey!

0:01:09 > 0:01:10THEY LAUGH

0:01:10 > 0:01:13As you can see...

0:01:13 > 0:01:17there was a time when Hyena didn't have short legs

0:01:17 > 0:01:19and he didn't walk all funny.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Funny, eh?

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hee hee hee! Oh!

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hyena, it's not funny to nip animals bottoms!

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Ho ho ho! Yes it is!

0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Come here, I'm going to get you! - Hyena! What's wrong with you?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Run, Monkey, run! He's behind you!

0:01:36 > 0:01:39I know he's behind me!

0:01:39 > 0:01:40THEY ALL GIGGLE

0:01:40 > 0:01:45- He'll never get me!- Careful, Monkey, don't tease Hyena too much.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50Why would any animal want to bite another animal's bottom? Yuk!

0:01:50 > 0:01:51- Heh heh heh!- Ha ha!

0:01:51 > 0:01:56While Hyena is busy chasing Monkey, let's get a drink. I'm thirsty.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Mm-hmm. Me too.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Ha ha ha ha!- You'll never catch me!

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Next time I will! Ha ha ha!

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Oh, no, you won't!

0:02:08 > 0:02:09CLONK! Ow!

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Oh!

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Ha ha ha ha ha!

0:02:12 > 0:02:14THEY ALL GIGGLE

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Oh!

0:02:15 > 0:02:18This is too good to be true!

0:02:18 > 0:02:21So many bottoms,

0:02:21 > 0:02:25but which one shall I choose?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Oh, oh, Elephant?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31No, no, too chewy.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Tortoise? No, too crunchy.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39Oh, Flamingo! Ugh, no, too pink.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ah! Porcupine!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43No, too spiky.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Now that IS a bottom!

0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Hippo, be careful! Hyena's about to bite your...- Ow!

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Ha ha ha!

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Hyena, get back here right now!

0:02:57 > 0:03:02That was the biggest and the best bottom ever! Ha ha!

0:03:02 > 0:03:06So now, who is next?

0:03:06 > 0:03:08What is that I see?

0:03:08 > 0:03:14It's the ugliest and the grumpiest bottom in all of Tinga Tinga.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16It's Warthog's bottom.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Ow!

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Enough is enough.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- THEY ALL TALK - OK, calm down. All right, all right.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29You are all right. Hyena cannot go on like this.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Somebody should put their foot down.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Preferably Elephant -

0:03:33 > 0:03:34on top of Hyena!

0:03:34 > 0:03:38If only Hyena would fall down a large hole

0:03:38 > 0:03:43- and not get out.- Oh, now that IS a good idea, Warthog.

0:03:43 > 0:03:49Your majesty, if Warthog here dug a big hole for Hyena to fall into,

0:03:49 > 0:03:52we could leave him there until he promised

0:03:52 > 0:03:55never to bite anyone's bottom ever again.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Ha! That's brilliant.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00And how do we get Hyena to fall into the hole?

0:04:00 > 0:04:02We need a bottom.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Uh-uh!- Uh-uh!

0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Not me!- I'll do it. I'll do it!

0:04:08 > 0:04:09Hyena will never catch me.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13OK, brave little monkey, this is what we are going to do.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15THEY WHISPER

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Hyena's coming!- Sh, sh.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Ha ha! So now, who's next?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Coo-ee! Hyena!

0:04:28 > 0:04:29You'll never get me!

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Oh, yes I will!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Oh, no you won't. Hee hee.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, yes I will. Ha ha!

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Oh!

0:04:40 > 0:04:41Na na na-na na!

0:04:41 > 0:04:42UNK!

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Oh!- Do do do-do do! Ha ha ha!

0:04:45 > 0:04:48We're going to need a bigger hole.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- And a much, much bigger bottom. - Hippo.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54But he's already bitten my bottom!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56But if we all dig an even bigger hole,

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Hyena will never get near your bottom again.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02And it is a very fine bottom, Hippo.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Oh, all right.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Mm-hmm.- Wow! - Excellent work, everyone.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Thank you, your majesty.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Ready and waiting, your majesty.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17Quick, hide, Hyena's coming!

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Ho ho! I'm so clever.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Hyena!- Oh!

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Come and get it.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Hmm, oh!

0:05:25 > 0:05:29The biggest bottom in Tinga Tinga.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32- Ha ha!- Oh!

0:05:32 > 0:05:33THUD!

0:05:33 > 0:05:39- Mm-hmm, now we've got you. - THEY CHUCKLE

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Hyena, nobody is going to help you out of that hole

0:05:43 > 0:05:48- until you promise to stop biting. - I... I...

0:05:48 > 0:05:53No! No, it's no good. Ha! It's such fun, I cannot promise that.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58Well, you can just stay down there then.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Yeah, Hyena, chew on that for a change.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11Hello! Jambo!

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Can somebody help me out of this hole, please?- Hyena?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17What are you doing down there?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20I just bit a few bottoms, that's all.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Ah. I'll help you out of that hole

0:06:24 > 0:06:26if you promise me one thing.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Oh, not you too.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33You must promise to bite Lion's bottom.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36I would be delighted! Ha ha ha!

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Ha ha ha!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Asante, Jackal. Thank you.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Hyena, remember your promise.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Oh yes, I will. Ha ha ha!

0:06:51 > 0:06:56SNORING

0:06:58 > 0:07:00A royal bottom.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Ha ha ha! Oh dear, oh dear.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06A sleeping bottom of a king?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Oh no, you wouldn't dare, Hyena, would you?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Do you know? I think I would!

0:07:11 > 0:07:15Oh, you wouldn't! I would, you know. I might just take a tiny little bite

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- out of there!- Ow!- Ha ha ha ha!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Hyena!- I did it!

0:07:20 > 0:07:24That will be your very last bite. Wanyama! Animals!

0:07:24 > 0:07:27We need a bigger hole.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31So, how's this for a big hole?

0:07:31 > 0:07:36It's a very long way to the bottom.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38We don't want Hyena to hurt himself.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Yes, we do!- No, we don't!

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Oh! Must be my lucky day.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Ha ha ha!- It's too deep, let's find another hole.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Come on, let's find somewhere else. - Ha ha ha!

0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Ha ha ha ha!- Whoa!

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Ow!

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Oh! SQUELCH!

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Oh!- Oi! Get me out of here!

0:08:08 > 0:08:10I suppose we have to help him.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14Ah, Hippo, a moment please.

0:08:14 > 0:08:19Hyena, we will help you, but only if you promise

0:08:19 > 0:08:23never to bite anyone's bottom ever again? You promise?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Oh. Oh...

0:08:26 > 0:08:28All right, then. I promise.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Good. Now we are going to make

0:08:31 > 0:08:34an animal chain and together we will pull you out.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Let's start with Elephant at the back there.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Tortoise.- I'm all right!

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Now Hippo, then Flamingo. Yes, your majesty. Porcupine

0:08:45 > 0:08:49and Warthog. That's it, well done. That's it, that's it.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Ha ha ha!- Here, Hyena.- Oh!

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- One, two, three...pull. - Oh, not again!

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Pull!

0:08:59 > 0:09:02ALL: Pull!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Pull!- Pull!

0:09:04 > 0:09:05Pull!

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Come on, Monkeys, you can do it. That's it.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Pull!

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Ha ha ha!

0:09:15 > 0:09:21Is it just me or are my front legs getting longer and longer?

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Don't be silly, Hyena! Pull!

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Pull!

0:09:26 > 0:09:31One very big last pull!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33ALL: Pull!

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Pull!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Um, are you all right, Hyena?

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Oh, oh.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51Oh, Hyena, you've got long legs in the front,

0:09:51 > 0:09:56- and short legs at the back. - Ha ha! So I have!

0:09:56 > 0:09:58- They look funny.- So they do!

0:09:58 > 0:09:59THEY GIGGLE

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Just try walking, Hyena.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Oh.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05THEY GIGGLE

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Ha ha ha! Look at my funny walk!

0:10:12 > 0:10:14THEY ALL LAUGH

0:10:14 > 0:10:18That is so funny. Ha ha ha!

0:10:18 > 0:10:23That's because you've got long legs at the front from when we pulled.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26And short legs at the back from when you fell!

0:10:26 > 0:10:29And that's why Hyena has short back legs.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Ho ho ha! - But it didn't stop him laughing!

0:10:32 > 0:10:35THEY ALL LAUGH

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Serves you right, Hyena, biting everyone's bottom like that.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44I don't know what you're laughing at with that ugly face of yours!

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Ugly?! What do you mean ugly? Me?

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Come on! Hey, would you call this face ugly?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Um...well...

0:10:53 > 0:11:00And Warthog and his ugly face? Well, that's a whole other story.
