00:00Tick-a-villa
00:30Hello! Hello, and welcome to Tick-a-villa
00:35Hey, Tony, can you hear that?
00:39It's really loud, isn't it?
00:41Yeah!
00:43What does that sound like?
00:45Well, whatever it is, someone sounds like they're having some very noisy fun
00:54Oh, hello! Do you like making noises?
01:02I do
01:03I've got lots of noisy things here, and I'm going to bash them
01:10Now, do you think this will be loud?
01:14Hmm?
01:18Yes, really loud
01:20Hmm, what else?
01:23Ah, a drum
01:25Hmm, what do you think?
01:31Oh, nice! Do you bash drums?
01:34Hmm?
01:34Now, there must be something else
01:37Ah, a cushion
01:39Hmm
01:40Oh
01:43Ah, cushions don't make much noise at all, do they?
01:50But saucepans do
01:51Tambo!
01:55Tambo!
01:56Hey, Tambo!
01:57Hello, Tony
01:58I'm making a noise
02:00Yeah, I can hear
02:01Do you like making noises?
02:03Um, well, sometimes I do, yeah
02:05Hmm, what do you like bashing?
02:08Well, I don't always need to bash things together to make a noise
02:11I can make a noise with my body
02:14Listen
02:15I can pop my finger
02:18Ha!
02:20Can you pop your finger?
02:23Pop!
02:23Yay!
02:25Anything else?
02:26And I can make a clip-clopping sound with my mouth
02:29It's like a horse, isn't it?
02:36Can you make a clip-clopping sound?
02:37Ha!
02:41And I can make another noise with my fingers this time
02:44Click, click
02:48Ha!
02:50Oh
02:51Can you click your fingers?
02:53Oh, that's difficult
02:56I know, it is hard, Tambo
02:57Well, how about clapping hands?
03:00Can you clap your hands?
03:02Yay!
03:03Can you clap your hands with me?
03:05Ha!
03:06Ha!
03:08Very good!
03:10What was that?
03:13It wasn't me
03:14Oh, hey!
03:16It was me!
03:17Hey, let's all have a go at blowing a raspberry
03:20And you can join in too
03:22Are you ready?
03:22Right, ready?
03:23Okay
03:23Great!
03:28Ha!
03:28Oh, can we do a noisy song?
03:31Ha!
03:32Ha!
03:32Ha!
03:32Ha!
03:32Ha!
03:33Okay, Tambo
03:33But are you sure you've got enough things here to crash and bash?
03:37I think so
03:38All right then
03:39And if you want to make some noise
03:40Why don't you join in with the noisy bits?
03:43Are you ready?
03:44Here we go!
03:45Here we go!
03:46When life is rather quiet
03:49There's nothing much to do
03:52When no one is about
03:55Oh, apart of course from you
03:59There's nothing that is better
04:02More fun for girls and boys
04:05Than to let out all your feelings
04:09And make a lot of...
04:13IUGAS!!
04:14You can bang, you can crash
04:15You can bang and you can cring
04:17You can ting, you can ping
04:19You can even ting-a-LING
04:20You can bash, you can crash
04:22You can bang and you can rund
04:24You can bang, you can tang
04:25You can even ting-a-ling
04:27�-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling
04:33What can you do
04:35if nothing can be found?
04:38If nothing's lying round your room that makes a noisy sound
04:45There's always something that you've got that makes a special noise
04:51You always have it with you
04:54It's something called your
04:57You can speak, you can talk, you can squeak and you can squawk
05:03You can wow, you can cry and then have a little sigh
05:06You can sing in the ball, you can make a mini laugh
05:09You can scream, you can shout, you can squeak and drop a bop
05:12Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop
05:15You've made some special sounds
05:21Some people call a din
05:24You've let your noisy feelings out
05:28They're better out than in
05:30There's one more thing you have to do
05:34It's really for the best
05:37I think you know what that thing is
05:40It's time to take a...
05:43Rest
05:47Were you making lots of noise?
05:53Oh, and there's another noise
05:56It's the windows
05:58And we're going to see some loud and colourful noisy things through them
06:02Let's do the rhyme together
06:04How many windows?
06:07One, two, three
06:09Round, square or arched
06:13Which one will it be?
06:19It's the arched window
06:21This is Elan, the bumblebee
06:28And his brothers, Louis and Rafi
06:30At Elan's school today
06:41They're celebrating the Jewish festival of Purim
06:44And that's why everybody is wearing fancy dress
06:47Why don't you see how many different costumes you can spot?
07:03Ah, now that whistle means it's time to go into class
07:07Let's see what Elan's class are up to today
07:34Elan and his friends are making mishlot manot boxes
07:37Which are special goodie boxes
07:39Which they fill with treats
07:40And give to someone special during Purim
07:43Nathan, see, who do we give it to?
07:48Our friends, our brothers, our sisters
07:51We give it to all sorts of people
07:52And this little girl is making a noisy shaker
08:09You'll see why in a minute
08:13All the children are now going to hear the story of Purim
08:23Which is read in Hebrew
08:24Whenever they hear the baddie's name
08:27They make lots and lots of noise
08:30And a couple of bands
08:31They women's feast
08:32They make lots of les hanych
08:35They make lots and lots of gewesen
08:35They make lots of them
08:35They make lots of quiere
08:40And they make lots of day
08:41They make lots and lots of ibupiah
08:46And now there's just time for lunch.
09:04These triangular pastries are called hamatashan, and it's traditional to eat them during Purim.
09:16Here's El, I'm tucking into his.
09:46And now it's home time. Here comes El, I'm ready to tell his mum all about his day.
09:53Wow! Weren't there some lovely colourful costumes, Tamba?
10:03Now Tamba's going to do some dressing up now.
10:06Oh, it's for the story, isn't it?
10:08That's right, it's for the story.
10:10Oh, and there's the Tickabilla clock.
10:12Come on, Tamba, let's go and see what time it is.
10:15Tickabilla, Tockabilla, Tickabilla, Tock.
10:20What's the time on the Tickabilla clock?
10:24What do you think, Tamba?
10:27Wow! The long hand is pointing straight up to the number 12.
10:32So that means it's something o'clock.
10:35And the shorthand is pointing to the number...
10:39Five.
10:40That's right.
10:41So that means it's five o'clock.
10:44But what's underneath the clock?
10:47Oh, it's a turban.
10:51And Tamba's going to wear a turban in today's story.
10:56Who am I going to be?
10:59Well, Tamba, you're going to play a raja.
11:02A raja?
11:03Yeah, a raja is a king.
11:07A very important person from India.
11:10He has beautiful, expensive clothes.
11:13Lots of people working for him, Your Majesty.
11:18But the most important thing of all was the raja had a big secret.
11:24Shh!
11:25What is the secret?
11:27Ah, we'll have to find out, won't we, in the story.
11:30It's called, the raja's big ears.
11:34There was once a great and powerful raja.
11:45That's me.
11:47He was very wise and very good, and all his people loved him.
11:53Hooray!
11:55Hooray!
11:57Hooray!
11:59Go raja!
12:01Go raja!
12:02Go raja!
12:03But the raja had a big secret.
12:09He had great big ears.
12:12Oi!
12:13Put my turban back on!
12:16So the raja always wore a large hat to cover his ears,
12:20because he thought everyone would laugh at him if they saw them.
12:24Oh, that's better.
12:29The people didn't know why the raja always wore such a large hat,
12:33but they admired their king,
12:35so they decided to copy him.
12:38And soon,
12:40everyone was wearing a large hat.
12:43Now, the raja had a hairdresser called Manji.
12:59Right, your majesty, it's time for your royal trim.
13:04And Manji, of course,
13:06was the only one who knew the secret of the raja's big ears.
13:10But the raja warned him,
13:12You must never,
13:15never,
13:16ever
13:17tell anyone my secret,
13:19or
13:19there'll be big trouble.
13:21Understand?
13:23Oh,
13:23yes, your majesty.
13:25Um,
13:26what secret?
13:29The trouble was,
13:31Manji was the kind of person
13:32who could never keep a secret.
13:34He was just bursting to tell someone.
13:36But he was afraid of what the raja might do to him
13:39if he did tell.
13:40Oh, dear.
13:50One day,
13:51Manji went for a walk in the jungle
13:53to think in peace and quiet.
13:56Suddenly,
13:58he had the answer.
13:59Oh, I know.
14:02I could tell my secret to a tree.
14:05Yeah.
14:06Now,
14:07I need a tree which is wide.
14:09A tree which is tall.
14:11A tree I can really trust.
14:13Great.
14:15Yay.
14:16Perfect.
14:17So Manji sat down cross-legged
14:20and looked up at the branches.
14:23Oh, tree.
14:25I've got this secret I've got to tell you.
14:27Otherwise,
14:28I'll simply burst.
14:30Hang on a minute.
14:32Right.
14:33Our raja's got really big ears
14:35and he hides them by wearing a big hat.
14:38But you mustn't tell anyone.
14:42Otherwise,
14:42I'll be punished.
14:46That does feel good.
14:50Hang on a minute.
14:51Remember,
14:52shh.
14:56Manji was sure the tree wouldn't give a secret away.
15:00After all,
15:01trees can't speak,
15:02can they?
15:05But,
15:06a few days later,
15:08a woodcutter was working in the forest.
15:11He saw the wide,
15:13tall tree
15:13and decided to chop it down into logs.
15:17Chop,
15:18chop,
15:19chop,
15:19chop.
15:21And the woodcutter sold the logs to a craftsman.
15:26And the craftsman turned the logs
15:30into the most fantastic musical instruments.
15:33A wooden flute.
15:35A wooden tabla.
15:41And a wooden tambourine.
15:46Now,
15:47these instruments sounded so good
15:49and were so well made,
15:51they were soon bought
15:52by three musicians.
15:55And guess what?
15:56The musicians played the instruments so well,
15:59they were invited to play
16:00at the royal palace
16:02for the Rajah himself.
16:04Let the music begin.
16:08Well,
16:09the musicians played the most enchanting music.
16:12Then suddenly,
16:20to everyone's astonishment,
16:22the flute started singing.
16:24The Rajah's got big ears,
16:27the Rajah's got big ears.
16:30And the tabla began to beat.
16:33Who told you?
16:35Who told you?
16:38And the tambourine replied,
16:41Manji told us.
16:43Manji told us.
16:46What?
16:48Well,
16:49that was it.
16:50The secret was out.
16:52Now everyone knew
16:53why the Rajah always wore a large hat.
16:56And the guests all began to laugh.
17:04Where's that Manji?
17:08I'm here,
17:09your m-m-m-m-m-m-majesty.
17:11I thought I told you
17:13never to tell my secret
17:14to a single person.
17:15But I didn't tell a p-p-p-person.
17:19Honest.
17:20I told a tree
17:21in the forest.
17:22Now the Raja was a wise and clever king, so he asked the musicians where they bought their
17:29instruments from.
17:31And the musicians told Raja about the craftsmen that made their instruments.
17:36And the craftsmen told them about the woodcutter in the middle of the forest.
17:41And the woodcutter told them about the tree that Manji had told the secret to.
17:49And the Raja realized that Manji was telling the truth.
17:53And he realized something else far more important.
17:56The people didn't mind him having big ears at all.
18:00They only wanted a king who was kind and fair.
18:05So the Raja forgave Manji.
18:08And what's more, he threw away his big hat.
18:13Hooray!
18:15And never wore it again from that day onwards.
18:20And that was the story of the Raja's big ears.
18:26And there are some more big ears through one of the windows.
18:29But which one?
18:31How many windows?
18:34One, two, three.
18:36Round?
18:37Round?
18:38Square?
18:39Or arched?
18:40Which one will it be?
18:43It's the round window.
18:51Can you guess what animal this is?
18:54Here's some clues.
18:57It has big feet, a long trunk, and two big ears.
19:07That's right, it's an elephant.
19:10These ones all live in Africa.
19:13The elephant is the largest animal that walks on earth.
19:21Elephant ears are like giant fans.
19:26On a hot day, they flap their ears, which cools their whole body.
19:33Elephants have two long tusks.
19:37They can use them to defend themselves, for lifting up things, and for digging for water.
19:44Elephants use their trunks to drink.
19:47But the water doesn't go all the way up the trunk like a straw.
19:52Instead, the elephant sucks the water part way up, and then it curls the trunk towards its
20:04mouth.
20:05They also use their long trunk to feed.
20:18An elephant's trunk is so strong it can push down trees, or even pick up a single twig.
20:47Elephants love swimming in water to bathe and to cool down.
20:54Hey, look how this one is using his trunk like a snorkel.
21:15Elephants also love wallowing in mud.
21:20They roll around to coat themselves in the lovely, cool mud.
21:26The mud helps protect them from biting insects in the sun.
21:33The mud works just like elephant sunblock.
21:43Elephants can make many different sounds.
21:48Can you hear a rumble of a trumpeting trunk?
22:03Look at all the different ways that elephants use their trunks.
22:08Drinking, eating, carrying, snorkeling, and trumpeting.
22:24Wow!
22:25Weren't those elephants fantastic?
22:27Now, I know a rhyme about an elephant, and why don't you join in with the actions?
22:31Here we go.
22:33The elephant is the largest animal in the land.
22:38It strides through the jungle,
22:40boom, boom, boom, looking ever so grand.
22:46It has two great big ears that can flap away the flies.
22:53And just below those are two tiny eyes.
22:58It has a great big mouth to chew the juicy leaves.
23:07And two huge tusks that can push down trees.
23:15But its long, long trunk is the best thing of all.
23:20It can sniff.
23:22It can grip.
23:24Or make an elephant call.
23:29Hey, Justin!
23:30I like your elephant.
23:32Do you want to see another jungle animal?
23:34Oh, yeah, go on then, Tony.
23:35OK.
23:40I know what that is.
23:41What?
23:42It's a cheeky monkey.
23:43Yeah!
23:44Here's another one.
23:45What's this?
23:46Rawr!
23:47Oh, it's a tiger, isn't it?
23:49Yeah!
23:50How about this?
23:52It's a snake.
23:55Ah, lots of jungle animals.
23:59Just what we need for a jungle song.
24:02Rawr!
