0:00:550:01:00

Go on, Flea, you can do it.

0:01:070:01:09

THEY GIGGLE

0:01:090:01:10

Oops.

0:01:100:01:11

But there was a time when Flea couldn't jump.

0:01:110:01:15

She was so big and round she couldn't really move at all.

0:01:150:01:19

Oh, it's no good.

0:01:190:01:23

I'm never going to see the world.

0:01:230:01:25

I'm never going to see anything.

0:01:250:01:28

-You mean you have never seen the waterhole?

-No.

0:01:280:01:32

-You've never seen the mango grove?

-Or the great cave?

-No!

0:01:320:01:36

We'll have to change that. It's monkeys to the rescue.

0:01:360:01:41

BOTH: Monkeys to the rescue. Hee hee!

0:01:410:01:44

One, two, three...push! Hee hee hee!

0:01:440:01:50

Oh! Oh! I'm rolling! Oh!

0:01:500:01:54

-You're moving, Flea, you're moving!

-I know I'm moving. Oh!

0:01:540:01:59

-And I can't stop!

-Uh-oh.

-Oops. Come on!

0:01:590:02:05

Ha ha! Tortoise, tell everyone that joke you told me earlier.

0:02:050:02:09

-Mm-hmm.

-OK, OK.

0:02:090:02:12

Pretend you're deep in the jungle, and Crocodile is after you.

0:02:120:02:18

-What do you do?

-I don't know, what do you do?

0:02:180:02:21

-Stop pretending! Ha ha ha!

-Ha ha ha!

0:02:210:02:25

THEY ALL LAUGH "Stop pretending!"

0:02:250:02:28

I can't stop! Can somebody help me?

0:02:280:02:30

-Somebody stop Flea.

-Move out of the way!

0:02:300:02:33

Stop, Flea, stop!

0:02:330:02:35

-Oh, my goodness!

-Huh?

0:02:350:02:37

-Oh, oh!

-Oops!

0:02:370:02:39

-Oh, oh, oh!

-Flea, are you all right?

0:02:390:02:45

Phew, I'm fine. Thank you, Hippo. Asante.

0:02:450:02:48

-Flea, how nice to see you.

-Jambo, Flea.

0:02:480:02:53

-MONKEYS:

-Jambo, everyone.

-Monkeys, what have you been up to?

0:02:530:02:57

Lion, do you know Flea has never seen the waterhole?

0:02:570:03:02

Well, Tinga Tinga is full of wonders, great and small,

0:03:020:03:06

-and you must see them all.

-Would you mind helping me onto my front?

0:03:060:03:11

-There you go.

-Who will take Flea on a tour?

0:03:110:03:14

It would be my pleasure.

0:03:140:03:16

Excellent, Tortoise can take you for a nice slow walk around Tinga Tinga.

0:03:160:03:22

-It will be very slow.

-Hee hee!

0:03:220:03:24

At least she'll get a good long look at everything.

0:03:240:03:27

Elephant, give Flea a hand.

0:03:270:03:30

Oh, how wonderful.

0:03:330:03:35

I've always dreamed of seeing the waterhole.

0:03:350:03:38

Oh! Ah! Oh!

0:03:380:03:40

-Am I too heavy?

-No, no, you're fine.

0:03:400:03:43

I have very sturdy legs and my shell is very, very thick.

0:03:430:03:48

So it should be...

0:03:480:03:50

-..OK.

-I'm so sorry, Tortoise.

0:03:510:03:54

Don't worry, I'm used to it.

0:03:540:03:57

Crocodile, why don't you take Flea on a river tour?

0:03:570:04:01

-Do I have to?

-It's an order!

0:04:010:04:04

Oh, very well.

0:04:040:04:06

Just to the other side of the waterhole and back.

0:04:060:04:09

Oh, it's a dream come true.

0:04:090:04:13

-There you go.

-That's it, Hippo. Down a bit... Stop!

0:04:130:04:19

-Ready?

-Yes, oh, yes!

0:04:190:04:23

Here we go.

0:04:230:04:24

Oh, ah! Oh! Eh!

0:04:280:04:30

Oh! Oh!

0:04:300:04:32

Oh! We're sinking, Croc!

0:04:320:04:36

Abandon Crocodile, abandon!

0:04:360:04:39

-Oh!

-Oh-oh.

-Hmm.

0:04:390:04:41

Huh! She's too heavy.

0:04:410:04:44

Oh, I'm never going to see Tinga Tinga.

0:04:440:04:48

-You will, Flea. I know you will.

-Ahem...

0:04:480:04:52

Let me help, Flea. My neck's nice and strong.

0:04:520:04:56

Climb on for the best view of the whole kingdom.

0:04:560:05:00

Oh, Giraffe!

0:05:000:05:03

Lucky you, Flea.

0:05:030:05:05

Now, Flea, close your eyes and count to five.

0:05:050:05:08

When you open them again, you won't believe what you'll see.

0:05:080:05:12

-Oh!

-One, two, three...

-Oh!

0:05:120:05:17

..four, five!

0:05:170:05:19

I haven't moved, have I?

0:05:190:05:22

-Um.

-Uh...

0:05:220:05:24

ALL: No.

0:05:240:05:25

I'm so sorry, dear, but you're just an eensy weensy bit too heavy.

0:05:250:05:30

I'm never going to see the world.

0:05:300:05:33

- May I make a suggestion? - Please do, Tortoise.

0:05:330:05:38

If Flea wants to see the world,

0:05:380:05:40

we have to find a way for her to move.

0:05:400:05:43

What do you suggest?

0:05:430:05:44

Movement and activity.

0:05:440:05:47

It is nature's way. But I know you can do it, Flea, I know you can.

0:05:470:05:52

I'll try, Lion, I'll try.

0:05:520:05:55

I mean, look at me, I'm 173 and I don't look a day over...

0:05:550:06:01

MONKEYS: 104! THEY GIGGLE

0:06:010:06:03

Mm-hmm, and how do I do it?

0:06:030:06:06

Exercise. We'll all help you.

0:06:060:06:09

Now, make a line and we'll start with some stretching.

0:06:090:06:13

-Come on!

-Hurry, hurry.

0:06:130:06:15

Mm-hmm, good work, Monkeys.

0:06:170:06:20

Don't overdo it, Elephant. Don't overdo it.

0:06:200:06:23

Hmm, not bad, Crocodile.

0:06:240:06:26

Oh! Oh, yeah. Very good, very good indeed.

0:06:260:06:31

-Oh!

-Nice. Good, good.

0:06:310:06:33

Oh, dear, Flea!

0:06:330:06:35

Oh, dear.

0:06:350:06:37

I can't do it. I can't do it.

0:06:370:06:40

Yes, you can, I know you can.

0:06:400:06:42

-How about swinging?

-Whee-ee!

0:06:420:06:45

Don't be silly, monkeys.

0:06:450:06:47

Oh, I know, how about a little running on the spot?

0:06:470:06:52

That's it, that's it.

0:06:550:06:57

Every beast at their own pace.

0:06:570:07:00

Oh, very good, Ostrich, very good.

0:07:000:07:03

Left-right, left-right...

0:07:030:07:05

-I love running.

-Me too. Left-right, left-right...

0:07:050:07:10

Oh... Oh!

0:07:100:07:13

Very good. Take it easy, Elephant.

0:07:130:07:15

Mind Flea, mind Flea.

0:07:150:07:17

No, it's all right, look at me. I'm moving!

0:07:170:07:22

ANIMALS LAUGH

0:07:220:07:23

Elephant, Hippo, see if Flea can jump by herself.

0:07:230:07:27

Okey-dokey.

0:07:270:07:28

Come on, Flea. I know you can do it. I know it.

0:07:280:07:32

-Come on, Flea.

-Come on, Flea, you can do it.

0:07:320:07:34

-Have a go.

-Try, that's it.

0:07:340:07:36

OK, here goes...

0:07:360:07:38

-Erm... Oh!

-Oh!

0:07:390:07:43

Did you see what I saw?

0:07:430:07:45

I did. Flea jumped! Ha-ha!

0:07:450:07:48

I did, I jumped. Look...

0:07:480:07:50

-Oh!

-Do it again.

0:07:510:07:55

Looking good, Flea, looking good.

0:07:550:07:58

Do it again, do it again.

0:07:580:08:01

# I know if I really try

0:08:010:08:03

# I'll jump and then I will see

0:08:050:08:08

# The many things I want to see

0:08:080:08:11

# A world beyond just me

0:08:110:08:14

# I know if you really try

0:08:150:08:17

# You'll jump and then you will see

0:08:180:08:21

# The many things you want to see

# The world beyond just me

0:08:250:08:28

# I'm jumping, I'm jumping

0:08:290:08:32

# I'm jumping really high

0:08:320:08:35

-# I knew you would

-I knew you could

0:08:360:08:38

-# You're going to touch the sky

-Woh-oh-oh, I'm jumping

0:08:380:08:44

-# You're jumping

-I'm jumping really high

0:08:440:08:48

# You're going to touch the sky

0:08:480:08:50

ALL: # Flea's jumping, she is jumping

0:08:500:08:54

-# Jumping really high

-Whee!

0:08:540:08:57

# Jumping every try And learning how to fly... #

0:08:570:09:03

Ha-ha, and look at you, you're tiny.

0:09:030:09:07

-She's so high up...

-She's tiny.

0:09:070:09:10

Whee-ee!

0:09:100:09:12

Look at me jump. Whee-ee!

0:09:120:09:14

-What?

-Where's she gone?

0:09:140:09:17

-She's disappeared. Where's Flea gone?

-Anybody see Flea?

0:09:170:09:21

Yoo-hoo!

0:09:210:09:23

I'm up here!

0:09:230:09:26

On top of Giraffe's head.

0:09:260:09:28

You can't be. Where are you?

0:09:280:09:32

I'm here. I jumped all the way up here.

0:09:320:09:35

Karibu! Welcome!

0:09:350:09:39

Take a good look at Tinga Tinga.

0:09:390:09:42

Ooh! Ah!

0:09:420:09:47

Oh!

0:09:500:09:52

-Yoo-hoo!

-Flea!

0:09:520:09:54

Jump down now, Flea.

0:09:540:09:56

I can see all of Tinga Tinga.

0:09:560:10:00

Beautiful, isn't it?

0:10:000:10:02

It's a dream come true.

0:10:020:10:05

Well, you did it all by yourself.

0:10:050:10:09

Not all by myself. Whee!

0:10:090:10:12

ANIMALS LAUGH

0:10:120:10:15

Jambo, little Flea, I knew you could do it.

0:10:150:10:17

Thank you, Lion. I couldn't have done it without you.

0:10:170:10:21

I couldn't have done it without all of you.

0:10:210:10:24

ANIMALS LAUGH

0:10:240:10:27

And that's why Flea jumps.

0:10:270:10:30

From that day on, Flea jumped from animal to animal.

0:10:300:10:33

And she was able to go anywhere and see everything.

0:10:330:10:38

Woo-hoo!

0:10:380:10:40

I'm on top of the world!

0:10:410:10:45

I know, what a view!

0:10:450:10:48

-Yoo-hoo!

-Hello!

0:10:480:10:51

But how did Giraffe get all the way up there?

0:10:510:10:55

Well, that's a whole other story. Hee-hee!
