ALL: Yeah!

LOW PITCH DRONE

Oh...

Do you hear that, Drum?

It's like a buzzing....no or a kind of low, droning sound.

I like it.

I think the sound's coming from the glade.

Come on, I'm sure the others will be there by now.

Oh.

Hmmm, sounds like my tummy rumbling.

I am feeling hungry. Hmm, must be time for lunch.

Hi, Todd!

Oh, hello. Why are you two in such a hurry?

We're going to the glade!

Well I'd love to join you but I'm off to lunch.

Bye, Todd.

Bye!

Aaahhh-whoop!

Weeeee!

-Hi, everyone!

-Ah, hello, you two.

Let me introduce you to a brand new sound.

Its from Australia and it's the oldest brand new sound around.

LOW PITCH DRONE

-Wow, I love the deep grumbling sound.

-Yeah!

Does than long tube have a name?

Yes, Tang. It's a didgeridoo.

-ALL: Oooh!

-What's inside the tube?

There's nothing inside it, Zak. It's an empty space.

-It's been hollowed out by termites.

-Termites?

-Little insects, like ants.

-Ooh, yum-yum!

How do you make that droney sound?

You press your lips to the end of the tube,

like my old friend Dhinawan here, and you blow.

Ooh, very impressive sound.

I wonder what it is?

Could it be a swarm of bees?

Hmmm, it sounds more like the wind in the trees.

-WHIZZ!

-But that sounds like...

Coconut number one!

Three more coconuts to go before The Big Zing!

-Listen, it's that drone sound again.

-Oooh...

ALL: Hey-hey!

Oh, the droning makes you tingle from your fingers to your toes.

-And tummy, too.

-Ah yes, Drum.

You can really feel the sound as well as hear it.

Hmmm, good. That banana's stopped my tummy rumbling.

Oh...I love bananas.

They're my favourite.

DIDGERIDOO PLAYS

Oh, but that sounds like my tummy again!

I know, I'll have a mango, my other favourite fruit.

Hi, Mr Gravel.

Hi, Mr Granite. Are you looking forward to The Big Zing?

We always do, Panzee. What's today's song about?

We're going to play a song that celebrates the didgeridoo.

-A didgeridoo?

-You must have heard it being played just now?

Oh, yes, we have. We have.

I thought you would have heard it before. You are very old,

and the didgeridoo is one of the oldest instruments in the world!

Well, I AM the oldest stone on this island,

although no-one ever celebrates me.

I've had a million trillion birthdays.

When is your birthday?

Well, I...oh...

Er, let me see, I...

-I don't know.

-Excuse me, Granite

-I think I'm older than you.

-Nonsense, I'm the oldest.

-Oh...

-WHIZZ!

-We'll talk about this later.

Right now, it's coconut number two!

Only two more coconuts to go until The Big Zing.

You've both had a million trillion birthdays?

Yes, it's a very long time, isn't it?

It's a very, very, very,

very, very, very,

very long time!

DIDGERIDOO PLAYS

Oh, I need to get back to work on the song.

See you later!

Two, three, four...

# Back in ancient days

# Termites in the trees... #

Oooh, yuck!

# Have found a brand new way

-# Of making melodies. #

-Oh, yeah, Tang! Try this middle.

# Let me tell you How the tail unfolds

# In the here and now In those days of old

# It's an instrument That sounds so bold

# And the island loves to hear

# Du-du du da-da Oh do your didgeridoo

-BOTH:

-# Do you didgeridoo? Yes I didgeridoo! #

Ha-ha! Great song.

Our didgeridoo new song.

Oh...

Panzee, sad?

Oh, no. I'm OK, Drum.

I just can't stop thinking about what Mr Granite told me.

Can you imagine not knowing when your birthday is?!

And a million trillion is a lot of birthdays to miss.

We need to do something for Mr Granite and Mr Gravel

-to celebrate all their birthdays!

-OK.

We'll get them a present. Where do we find one?

Um...

Oh! In the jungle. We'll split up into teams.

It'll be quicker.

And we have to hurry because there's only two coconuts to go

until we need to be singing in The Big Zing.

Let's look for something special that they can enjoy together.

I'll go with you, Tang. We'll all meet later at The Coconut Hut.

-Drum, that leaves me and you.

-OK.

I know what to give them.

What is it?

An ant.

-Why would they want an ant?

-Ants make great pets.

They don't take much looking after and they're very intelligent. Watch.

I'll get him to do a trick.

Oh, where'd he go?

Oh-oh! He's gone up my sleeve.

It's tickling, too. Ah-oh! Ooh!

Wh-where are you?

Oh, he's gone... he's gone down my back! Ha-ha!

Ha-ha! Stop! You naughty...

I hope Panzee and Drum have found a present.

Ooh, pretty vine!

Oh, yes!

They could wear the vine just like a leafy scarf. Ha-ha!

Umph...

Whoa!

Hmph...

Whoa!

They could wear this vine just like a leafy belt.

Oh!

It's stuck.

One more tug should free it.

Whoa!

Yeee-aw!

BOINNGG!

BOINNGGG!

Oh...

Ooh, silly vine!

Oh, this is no good. There's nothing here.

I know. Let's go and see Todd.

He always has lots of good ideas for presents.

And then we can go and meet Tang and Zak.

Come on, Drum.

Er, Tang, Mr Granite and Mr Gravel can't use the vine as a belt

because they don't wear trousers!

Oh, you're right.

Oh, I wonder if Todd can help us find the perfect present?

Oh, those ZingZillas haven't been playing their music much today.

I wonder what they're up to?

Well, what ever it is they'd better hurry up with their song

because here comes coconut number three!

Only one more coconut to go until The Big Zing!

Hmmm, I do love a juicy mango.

I hope that will stop my tummy rumbling.

I couldn't eat any more fruit today.

-Hi, Todd!

-Oh, hello, Panzee. Hello, Drum.

We're not disturbing your lunch?

No, no, not at all. What can I do for you?

We're celebrating Mr Granite and Mr Gravel's birthday.

Million trillionth birthday.

And we're having a problem with the present.

We want it to be really special.

Oh, I love presents.

I've got the perfect solution to your present problem.

Oh, I knew that you'd help us.

Clever Todd.

Ta-da!

Oh...

Wrapping paper?

Yes, lovely wrapping paper to make your present look extra special.

Well, I...I suppose wrapping paper is very useful.

-Thanks, Todd.

-Yes, thanks, Todd.

-It really is lovely paper.

-Bye, Todd.

Bye!

DIDGERIDOO PLAYS

Ooh...there goes my rumbling tummy again.

I suppose I might have enough room for a few chunks of pineapple...

Well, we didn't manage to find a present,

but Zak and Tang are bound to have found a really special one

which we could wrap up in this really cool paper.

-Let's get to The Coconut Hut. They might be there already!

-Yay!

Todd is bound to have some really cool ideas for a present.

Hmmm, pineapple, my latest, newest favourite fruit.

-Hi, Todd!

-Hello, Zak. Hello, Tang.

-Sorry to disturb your lunch.

-Oh, that's all right.

-How can I help?

-We're have problems with a present

that we want to be really special and...

I know. I know. And I've got the very thing.

-BOTH:

-Great!

Ta-da! Lovely, special wrapping paper.

Oh...er, thanks.

-Yes, thanks.

-Not at all, any time.

Now, where was I?

Oh yes, pineapple.

Hmmm.

I'm not so sure I have a favourite fruit anymore.

Never mind, Tang. Panzee and Drum are bound to have found

a really great one for Mr Gravel and Mr Granite.

Yes, and we've got some really cool paper to wrap it in.

Come on, let's get to The Coconut Hut.

They should be there by now.

THEY SLURP THEIR DRINK

Hi, Panzee. Hi, Drum.

Hi, Tang. Did you find a special present for Mr Gravel and Mr Granite?

Er...er, yes.

Well, something just as good as. How about you?

-Oh, yes, we did really well.

-Oh, good! Show us what you found.

Um, how about you show us what you found.

We asked first.

OK, I tell you what, we'll count to three, then both show our presents

at the same time.

Ready? One, two, three...

ALL: Wrapping paper?!

Oh, no! You had the same idea as us.

No presents.

Oh, this is a real problem.

It's not just a problem, it's a disaster!

LOW PITCH DRONING

What could we give the Moaning Stones that's really special?

DRONING CONTINUES

Drum, stop that. I can't think.

Drum, stop.

No, wait a minute. Don't stop.

Drum, you're a genius!

Didgeridoos!

We could make didgeridoos for Mr Gravel and Mr Granite

by painting these cardboard tubes.

Drum love painting. Ha-ha!

Todd will have some paint that we can borrow.

ALL: Yay!

Todd! Todd! Have you got any paint?

Oh, there's some in my cave, but I'm sorry, I can't get it for you now.

-You'll have to find it yourself.

-What's the matter, Todd?

Tang, my tummy wouldn't stop rumbling,

and I've eaten so much fruit that I...

Oh...I don't feel very well.

Tummy rumbling?

Not tummy rumbley.

Didgeridoo!

Todd, I don't think you heard your tummy

you heard the didgeridoo.

This brilliant musician's been playing it in the glade all day.

But it was a deep, rumbling sound that I could feel.

Yes, that's what a didgeridoo does.

A low, droning sound that you can really feel.

Ooh, I needn't have eaten so much?

No. Sorry.

But you sit here quietly and get better,

while we finish making our special didgeridoos!

ALL: Yay!

Yeah!

Come on, Panzee.

This is for you, Mr Granite, from all of us.

-For me?

-To make up for all the presents you missed.

Oh, and there's one for you too, Mr Gravel.

Well, I don't know what to say except...

what it is?

Ha-ha! A didgeridoo.

-(DRUM)

-Hullabaloo!

Try blowing down it.

THEY BOTH PLAY THE DIDGERIDOO

THEY ALL CHEER

You can play them at The Big Zing!

-Oh, we'd be delighted.

-And just in time too, because there goes...

the last coconut!

ALL: It's time for The Big Zing!
