01:00Wow.
01:01Amazing.
01:02Oh, look at this.
01:05Look at me.
01:06Just look at me.
01:07Oh, Melissa.
01:09You look wonderful.
01:11Hey, look at me, guys.
01:14Don't be silly, Marcus.
01:19Sharks don't growl.
01:21I'm so pretty.
01:23Meow.
01:24Wow, look at this lovely T-shirt.
01:29Oh, oh, oh.
01:31I'm a baboon.
01:34You're more like a cheeky monkey, if you ask me.
01:39What wonderful costumes.
01:42Hey, I've got an idea.
01:45Let's put on a play.
01:47Yes.
01:48That will be great fun.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Let's do it.
01:52Let's do it, please.
01:53What was that?
01:54Hold up.
01:55Oh.
01:56Oh.
01:57Oh.
01:58Oh.
01:59Oh.
02:00Oh.
02:01Gigi, did you have a late night?
02:08It wasn't me.
02:10I mean, morning, Mr. Z.
02:13Oh, my tummy is so sore.
02:18Gigi, why are you walking around inside a box?
02:25If you were feeling like me, you'd also want to hide away.
02:30Oh, Gigi, you poor thing.
02:33Maybe just something you ate.
02:35No, I didn't.
02:37Wow.
02:40Gigi sure is in a bad mood this morning.
02:47Maybe a story will help to cheer her up.
02:51Hmm.
02:52Hmm.
02:53No, it won't.
02:54Oh, my tummy.
02:57Well, let's see, shall we?
03:10Believe it or not, there was a time when Baboon walked upright on two legs.
03:16Just like his cousin, man.
03:19Your drink, sir.
03:21Hmm.
03:22About time, too.
03:30What are you waiting for?
03:32A tip?
03:33Huh.
03:34You'll be lucky.
03:35Get lost.
03:37Useless, slow, four-legged creature.
03:42Hmm.
03:43What a bully.
03:44Hmm.
03:45I don't know.
03:46Why do I bother?
03:48Huh?
03:49What's going on over there?
03:51Who did this?
03:52I demand justice.
03:53Hmm.
03:54Hmm.
03:55I smell a rat.
03:56No.
03:57A mouse.
03:58Admit it.
03:59You tore my beautiful creation.
04:00What's all the fuss about?
04:02Meow.
04:03What's going on?
04:04Oh, it wasn't me, sir.
04:05Hmm.
04:06Huh.
04:07I'll show you how to catch the criminal.
04:08Hmm.
04:09Hmm.
04:10Hmm.
04:11Hmm.
04:12Hmm.
04:13Hmm.
04:14Hmm.
04:15Hmm.
04:16Hmm.
04:17Hmm.
04:18Hmm.
04:19Hmm.
04:20Hmm.
04:24It's not fair!
04:39It's not fair!
04:42It's not fair!
04:43Order!
04:44Order!
04:45Court is in session.
04:46When someone might have done something naughty,
04:47something naughty, they are taken to court to have a trial to see whether they're guilty
04:53or innocent. This is what is known as justice.
04:57Well, as court prosecutor, you must question all the suspects.
05:04The court prosecutor is the person who questions the defendant. The defendant is the person
05:11on trial.
05:12Yes, your, uh, ape ship. Confess, you tore that dress, you are a meanie, weenie, nasty little
05:22mouse.
05:23Too bad, shame on you. But you ape ship, I've never seen that dress before, I promise.
05:33I object. Next. I call meow meow.
05:43Meow, meow.
05:44Catch you later mouse.
05:46Admit it, you clawed, scratched and ripped that dress.
05:52Oh, to be perfectly honest, and without sounding catty, it was a smelly jackal.
06:05This isn't any way to rot a trial.
06:08Hm.
06:09Hm.
06:10Hm.
06:11Come clean, you smelly jackal. Just tell the truth.
06:15Ah, it wasn't me. The box, yes, the box did it.
06:21Yeah, it was a box.
06:23Oh, the box.
06:25Right, box. Don't think I can't see you're hiding something.
06:30Oh, oh, no, it wasn't me. Fire. Fire ruined the dress.
06:37Hm. Fire. The box has accused you. What do you say in your defence?
06:44I hotly deny the charge is your ape ship. It wasn't me. It was water.
06:50Ay, ay, ay, ay. This is getting silly.
06:54Mm-mm.
06:57Yay, watch out. Don't splash me.
07:00Wasn't me. Elephant did it.
07:05Oh, at last a confession.
07:11Arm though, fool. This isn't a court case. It's more like a circus.
07:18Yes, I agree, I agree.
07:19Absolutely, it's a focus.
07:21A circus? Is that what it is?
07:23Shame.
07:24I'll be the judge of that. There's silence in the court.
07:30I rest my case, your ape ship.
07:33Since there isn't an honest one among you, I find you all guilty.
07:39I'm innocent. I'm telling you I'm innocent.
07:43Help me. We're not guilty.
07:46Yes, justice for all.
07:49Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.
07:59Ugh. Now.
08:01Your punishment.
08:03Punishment.
08:04Oh my goodness.
08:05Cat by mouse.
08:07Ow.
08:08Ow.
08:09Ow.
08:10Ow.
08:11Jackal.
08:12Meow.
08:13Meow.
08:14Meow.
08:15Jackal by cat.
08:16Uh, yes, Your Honor.
08:17Meow.
08:18Come here, cat.
08:19Meow.
08:20Meow.
08:21Meow.

08:29Ah.

08:38Help.
08:39Help.
08:40Help.
08:41Oh.

09:03Oh.
09:04Oh.
09:05Oh, my goodness me.
09:06Oh.
09:07Oh, my goodness me.
09:08And to this day, Cat still chases Mouse.
09:09Jackal chases Cat.
09:10Fire still burns wood.
09:14Wow.
09:15What a stupid baboon.
09:16He thought he knew everything.
09:18And that's why the Creator punished Baboon, making him walk for the rest of his life on
09:25all fours.
09:27Oh.
09:28Really.
09:29My goodness.
09:30That was a brilliant story, Mr Z.
09:46If you do something wrong, you should admit it.
09:50OK, OK, I confess, I ate all the sweeties.
09:59Ah, so that's why your tummy's so...
10:05Uh-huh.
10:07Fula, children, someone has eaten all the sweeties.
10:19Oops, time to go.
10:22Hey, come back, Gigi.
10:24Own up. She's gone.
10:27That's a problem.
10:29Who's going to tell Gogo?
10:32You tell her.
10:34No, you.
10:36You.
10:37Oh, you.
10:39You.
10:40You.
10:41Oh, Sumbaya.
10:43Sumbaya.
10:44Sumbaya.
10:46You.
10:58You.
10:59Phew, the bank was busy today, wasn't it, Gogo?
11:23It was, Pula. I'm glad to be home.
11:27Hey, Gogo, watch me. I'm the hopscotch champ.
11:32Come on, Gogo. You try.
11:42Well, I'll give it a go.
11:45Oh dear. I think my hopscotch days are well and true.
11:56Now, where have I put my pension money? Oh dear. We really need that money. Where could it be?
12:12Let's see what we can find to play with in the magic chest. What about this?
12:21Save me!
12:24Don't be scared, Gigi. It isn't real.
12:34I know. Let's play a trick on Marcus and Josh. Yes.
12:41No, no, no. Giving people a big fright isn't very nice.
12:45Uh-uh. The boys always do it to us, Miss Sissy.
12:48Hello, boys.
12:50Hello, everyone.
12:52Uh, guess?
12:56We've got to show you.
12:57We've got something to show you too.
13:01Ah-ha-ha.
13:02Josh and I are rich.
13:05Oh, that's a lot of cash.
13:07Where did you get it?
13:08you get it? Well, we found it. So it isn't your money then, is it? F-f-finders, keepers.
13:17And the person who lost that money, hmm? Have you boys thought about how they might be feeling?
13:25Um, no, no, no, not really. Before you boys decide what to do with that money, I suggest
13:33you listen to this story. Water Snake lived near a rock pool where the water was as clear
13:42as crystal. Upon her head, she wore a glittering ruby stone. The magic stone had the power to
13:50make anyone who owned it very rich indeed. He, she, the great sun hunter, was very keen
13:57to lay his hands on that stone. It's lucky I'm such a great climber.
14:10A human is here. I can taste him on my tongue. But where? I must hide my precious stone.
14:25No human must steal it from me. The magic stone had been handed down since Water Snakes had first
14:33appeared on the earth, from generation to generation, from mother to daughter to Water Snake. This
14:40is what made it so precious, because it was very special to her.
14:47Water Snake soon returned, thinking her magic stone was safely hidden.
14:54Come out, human. I know where you are.
14:58That's close.
15:03That silly water snake can't stop me now. He, she, edged closer along the branch. He knew
15:16he must not look directly at the magic stone. If he did so, he would be turned to stone himself.
15:23So, he dropped an animal cloth over it to hide it from his sight.
15:28Nothing can stop me now. He, he, he. Hey!
15:32Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ow!
15:35Water Snake heard all the noise that Gishi was making.
15:40I knew it. A greedy human is trying to steal my magic stone.
15:46He, she wasted no time in running away as fast as his wobbly legs would carry him.
15:54Come here, human. He, she, frightened for his life, hurried to safety.
16:01My precious magic stone. Where is it?
16:05When Water Snake realized that the stone had gone, she was about as mad as a snake could get.
16:12My magic stone gone. Stolen.
16:17The revenge, yes. I shall have my revenge for this. Revenge on all mankind.
16:25A strange, haunting wind blew across the water. It chilled he, she, to his very soul.
16:34Water Snake's first act of revenge against mankind was to drink all the water in the river.
16:42Without water, humans cannot survive. For stealing my precious stone, I shall now take something from them.
16:54I shall take the very precious gift of life itself.
17:01He, she, hid the stone close to his home. And very soon, strange things started to happen.
17:09The stone brought he, she, exactly what he wanted, untold wealth.
17:16The magic in the stone encouraged the villagers to shower he, she with expensive gifts.
17:22Why, thank you.
17:25Wow, the magic stone really works. The gifts kept coming and coming.
17:32Yes, soon I shall be the richest man in all the village.
17:37But when the villagers next went to the river to collect their water, they found that all the water had disappeared.
17:47Water Snake had drunk up every last drop.
17:51Soon, they grew terribly thirsty, and their crops began to wither and die.
17:56Believing that somehow he, she could save them from thirst and starvation, they showered him with even more gifts.
18:05Please, please, please. You're the only one that can help us. Please.
18:09Well, you see, I'm not sure I exactly know how to.
18:16Suddenly, he, she, heard a loud hissing sound. Then the frightened villagers started shouting and screaming.
18:24Water Snake had returned to exact her revenge. After drinking all the water in the river, she had grown enormous.
18:32Slittered my precious stone to me, or everyone dies.
18:41Please, leave us alone. We don't have your stone.
18:44He, she knew he had to act fast, or all would be lost. He quickly dug up the magic stone, hiding it in his skin cloth and placing it in his arrow sheath.
18:56Don't harm anyone, please. I'll help you find your stone. Just go back to the river where you belong.
19:04All right, human. I'll give you a chance. But if you don't find my magic stone, I shall return to this village and you all shall die.
19:19You're so brave. Well done. Good luck. Our thoughts are with you.
19:26He, she followed Water Snake back to the river.
19:29You, you probably just forgot where you put it.
19:36Do you take me for a fool?
19:39No, Water Snake. But it's easy to misplace things. It can happen to anyone.
19:46Without Water Snake noticing, he, she carefully took the stone from his sheath and gently replaced it on Water Snake's head.
19:56Suddenly, the magic in the stone returned Water Snake down to normal size again.
20:02Ah, my precious stone. You found it for me. Thank you, thank you.
20:09Water Snake was so happy, she promised she would never again threaten the village.
20:14And I promise never to take anything that doesn't belong to me ever again.
20:21Everyone was so grateful to He, she for saving them from the Water Snake that they showered him with expensive gifts.
20:32He didn't need the magic stone any more.
20:36Wow! Doing a good deed always rewards you so much better than doing a really bad deed.
20:47Well, boys, do you understand?
20:49I suppose we should find the person who's lost this money.
20:55Hey! That's Gogo's pension envelope. Where did you find it?
20:59On the sidewalk. Outside. Let's go and give it back.
21:03Oh, yes, boys. We almost forgot.
21:05Oh, don't tell me you boys are scared of a teeny weeny play play snake. Oh, please.
21:19Us? No, no, no. We were just hurrying to find Gogo.
21:25Gogo, of course you were.
21:27Gogo, we found your money.
21:30The power of books to show us the way.
21:34Gogo, aries, bye-bye.
21:35Thank god,ah!
21:36Goodbye-bye.
21:40Oh, yes, boys.
21:41No, no

21:46Let's go and go in here.
21:47If you like曎 often, you can find your money.
21:52It's the answer or you can Lindsay-O'myou made at the age of 19 sÄ gracias.
21:56Ugh!
22:01Oh, what a beautiful boat.
22:10Mm-hmm.
22:15These sailboats were used to discover new lands by explorers.
22:19And people sailed around the world using the power of the wind.
22:26Those were the days they certainly were.
22:31Hey, look what I've found.
22:38Josh, take that smelly pipe out of your mouth.
22:42Smoking is bad for you.
22:44Gigi is right.
22:46Smoking not only ruins your health, it can kill you.
22:53Fuller, look, my daddy sent me a postcard.
22:57He's away on business at the moment.
22:59A postcard?
23:01Let me see.
23:03Ooh.
23:04Yeah.
23:06Nice try, Marcus.
23:09Like we're so scared.
23:11Ah.
23:16Look, it's Table Mountain.
23:18That's in Cape Town, here in South Africa.
23:21Hmm, it's down here, the southern tip of Africa.
23:27Very good, Pooler.
23:29The first sailors called it the Cape of Good Hope.
23:33And my daddy says it's very pretty, and the mountain sometimes has a cloud that looks like
23:39a tablecloth.
23:40The, that's why they call it Table, but mountain.
23:45And I'll read you a story about how that mountain got its tablecloth.
23:51Hold on.
23:52Where have the boys got to?
23:54Oh, they were over by the magic chest a moment ago.
23:58Maybe they've fallen inside the storybook.
24:02This is the magic sailor after all.
24:05Captain Van Hux was an old sailor who had travelled the seven seas, looking for a place to call home.
24:17Ah, the fairest Cape of South Africa.
24:21Ah, the perfect place to retire.
24:25I must have a look around.
24:33Captain Van Hux loved to walk, so he walked up the mountain.
24:39Ah, what lovely fresh air.
24:43Good for the lungs, and walking keeps you nice and fit.
24:47Hmm, hmm, hmm.
24:51Near the top of the mountain, the captain sat down for a rest.
24:59Ah, this is the life.
25:02The sun is out, the sky is blue, and the best view an old captain could get.
25:09Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:10Suddenly, a stranger appeared.
25:14The captain didn't know who it was, but it was the devil himself, in disguise.
25:20Ah, fine weather, wouldn't you say?
25:24It is indeed, Captain.
25:26A fine day to love, and a fine day to die.
25:31Ha, ha, ha.
25:32Ah, ha, ha, ha.
25:33I suppose so.
25:35Not that I planned on dying any time soon.
25:38Ha, ha, ha.
25:39Where are you from, anywhere?
25:41Ah, the Orient.
25:42The mysterious east, not to mention the north, the south, and the west.
25:49I've sailed them all.
25:52And what would be the name of your ship, stranger?
25:55Some have called my ship the Grim, some call it the Reaper.
26:03But, what's in a name, anyway?
26:08Do you like to smoke, Captain?
26:12Ugh, smoke?
26:13Me?
26:15Never.
26:16It's a disgusting habit.
26:19I want to stay fit and healthy.
26:21Well, I'm sorry, Captain, but unless you smoke a pipe for me, I shall have to wreck your ship,
26:32like I've wrecked so many others.
26:35Ha, ha, ha, ha.
26:37With that, the devil called down a powerful wind.
26:41The wind blew so hard, the captain's ship, with many sailors on board, was tossed about in giant waves.
26:48The sailors would drown if the ship was destroyed.
26:50Ha, ha, ha, ha.
26:51Stop!
26:52Stop!
26:53You'll wreck my ship!
26:54Then smoke a pipe for me, or your ship will end up at the bottom of the sea.
27:03Ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:04I don't have much choice in the end, do I?
27:07None at all, my dear Captain.
27:10None at all.
27:12Ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:13So, as much as he hated doing so, to save his sailors, the captain began to smoke.
27:21Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:23This is, ha, ha, ha, disgusting.
27:27It's making me feel, ha, ha, ha, sick.
27:31Keep smoking, Captain, until I tell you to stop.
27:37Otherwise, I shall destroy your ship.
27:42Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:44So, how come you won't smoke, stranger?
27:50Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:53But the devil wasn't stupid.
27:56He knew that smoking will kill you.
28:00That's why he made the captain smoke, and smoke, and smoke.
28:06The locals were fairly upset.
28:09Their awful smoke was making them all ill too.
28:12Yuck. Oh, yuck. Yuck.
28:18That's disgusting. I feel sick.
28:25They smoked from dusk to dawn and into the next day.
28:30Please. Let me stop now.
28:36All this smoking is doing me no good.
28:45All that smoking was making the captain feel very ill indeed.
28:53This smoke smells horrible.
28:57And now I smell horrible too.
29:02Ooh, giz.
29:04Oh, I'm not feeling well.
29:11Not well at all.
29:15The captain couldn't understand who this stranger was
29:20and how he held such powers.
29:24He had to know.
29:25Who are you?
29:28Anyway, how can you control the weather and wreck ships so easily?
29:39Ha-ha. You don't know?
29:43Then by all means, let me show you.
29:49So the devil himself...
29:52Yes, come to take your soul.
30:01You've been smoking so much, it has destroyed your health.
30:07You're not long for the world now, captain.
30:10And then you'll be mine.
30:15Ha-ha-ha.
30:17And the devil was right.
30:20The captain coughed loudly one last time.
30:25And then fell over.
30:28Dead.
30:28Ha-ha-ha.
30:31Smoking kills.
30:33Ha-ha-ha.
30:34I win again.
30:37The tablecloth cloud over the mountain remains to this day
30:42to remind people of the poor captain and the dangers of smoking.
30:48And they named the mountain beside Devil's Peak
30:52to remind people of the evilness of the devil.
30:58Well, I think anyone who smokes is stupid.
31:04You should never let anyone force you to start smoking.
31:08Only if they do, you should tell a grown-up at once.
31:14I know how to make people stop smoking.
31:17Hi.
31:19Please tell us.
31:20Ha-ha.
31:24That's very clever, Chi-Chi.
31:26Smoking is very bad.
31:28Both for the person smoking
31:30and all the people around them.
31:32Especially children.
31:34Ha-ha.
31:35Ha-ha.
31:35Ha-ha.
31:36Ha-ha.
31:36Ha-ha.
31:37Ha-ha.
31:37Ha-ha.
31:38Ha-ha.
31:38Ha-ha.
31:39Ha-ha.
31:39Ha-ha.
31:40Mr. Zee, quick.
31:41The boys are stuck inside the story.
31:44Stuck inside the...
31:46Oh, I just...
31:47Quick.
31:48They must have fallen into the magic chest.
31:51How stupid.
31:53They could suffocate.
31:55There's no air inside there.
31:57Ha-ha.
31:58Ha-ha.
31:59Ha-ha.
32:00Ha-ha.
32:01Ha-ha.
32:02Ha-ha.
32:03Ha-ha.
32:04Ha-ha.
32:05Oh, thanks.
32:06I'm for some fresh air.
32:07Ha-ha.
32:08I c-c-c-c-couldn't breathe.
32:10Ha-ha.
32:11And smoking stops you from breathing properly, too.
32:14Ha-ha.
32:15Ha-ha.
32:16Ha-ha.
32:17Ha-ha.
32:18Ha-ha.
32:19Ha-ha.
32:20Ha-ha.
32:21Ha-ha.
32:22Ha-ha.
32:23Ha-ha.
32:24Ha-ha.
32:25Ha-ha.
32:26Ha-ha.
32:27Ha-ha.
32:28Ha-ha.
32:29Ha-ha.
32:30Ha-ha.
32:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
33:01Oh, look what I found in the magic chest.
33:04Necklaces. Aren't they beautiful?
33:08I would like to wear one on my wedding day.
33:12Melissa, who would you like to marry when you are big?
33:18I don't even like boys that much. I can't say.
33:22Oh, but you soon will. And you, Naviva?
33:26Oh, I wouldn't marry just anyone. He would have to be very rich.
33:31Treat me like a queen and give me everything I wanted.
33:38I would like to marry somebody who's kind and friendly.
33:42Oh, like Marcus.
33:44Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
33:49Hey, everyone.
33:50Mr. Z, Mr. Z, is it true that a curse can change a person into a monster?
33:57What?
33:58It's true.
34:00But magic power can do anything.
34:06Funny you should mention that.
34:08I have a story about a chief who was turned into a five-headed snake.
34:12Wow. Let's hear it.
34:17P-P-Please?
34:20Wow.
34:21Wow. Come on, Mr. Z.
34:28The story is about identical twin daughters.
34:32What's that?
34:33Two children who look exactly the same.
34:35Yes, yes, yes, yes. Very good.
34:42There was once a mother who had identical twin daughters.
34:52But although Mpunzi and Mpunza looked the same,
34:55they were very different.
34:57Mpunzi, please, can you go to the river to collect water?
35:02Ha! Me! Collect water!
35:06Why didn't you send my sister?
35:08Can't you see I'm busy?
35:10Ha! Don't worry, Mother.
35:13I'll go for you.
35:15Thank you, Mpunza.
35:17You are very kind.
35:19Ha! Kind!
35:21Stupid more like I wouldn't do it.
35:24The one daughter was hardworking
35:26and the other one thought she was better than the sister.
35:29Right?
35:30Ha! Ha! Ha!
35:31Ha! Ha! Yes, yes, yes, Gigi.
35:33Then, one day, some very important news reached the village.
35:41Well away!
35:43Mpunzi and Mpunza,
35:46the great chief is looking for a special young woman
35:50who can lift his curse.
35:53But I can't decide which of you should go help him.
35:57Me, of course!
36:02I'm far more beautiful than my ugly sister Mpunza!
36:07Mother,
36:08I would rather stay here and look after you.
36:11When your father returns,
36:14we will arrange a suitable party
36:16to go with you to the chief's village.
36:19M-m-m!
36:19M-m-m!
36:21What?
36:22I'm sure the chief I come from a family of poor, ugly relatives?
36:27No!
36:27I shall go on my own!
36:30Ha!
36:30I hope Mpunzi will be safe by herself.
36:39Mpunza,
36:41one day your sister will learn a very wise lesson.
36:45If you continue to treat other people badly,
36:49one day you may get badly treated yourself.
36:53And so,
36:54the impatient Mpunzi set off on her own
36:57to the great chief's village.
37:00Greetings, Mpunzi!
37:01I shall show you the easiest path to the village.
37:04Move aside, tortoise!
37:06I don't need your help!
37:07I can take care of myself!
37:10But how do you know the right way?
37:11Get lost!
37:14The friend of the chief finds her own way!
37:19Oh!
37:20Ah!
37:25Careful, Mpunzi!
37:26Don't be getting ahead of yourself now!
37:29If I were you,
37:31I would take the right path!
37:33Oh, be quiet!
37:35I'll do whatever I like,
37:36and I choose the left path!
37:39Ha!
37:41Mpunzi was soon lost,
37:50and blamed the trees for blocking her way.
37:56I'm warning you, trees,
37:57when I'm the friend of the great chief,
38:00I'll have all of you chopped down.
38:03The trees became very angry.
38:05They knew that very soon, indeed,
38:09Mpunzi would pay a heavy price for her rudeness.
38:13It took Mpunzi twice as long to reach the chief's village
38:18than it would have done if she had just listened to the tortoise.
38:22Oh!
38:23I'm hot, and I'm tired, and I'm thirsty.
38:27It's all that's shepherd tortoise's fault.
38:29If he hadn't told me to take the right path,
38:32I wouldn't have taken the left.
38:35Eventually, Mpunzi was ready to meet the chief.
38:39How could he not fall in love with someone as beautiful as I?
38:45Hey, old woman, out of my way!
38:48I've come to be the chief's friend.
38:50Then I'll never have to work again.
38:52Before you may enter,
38:59first grind this wheat to make bread for your chief, child.
39:05What me?
39:06I won't make bread.
39:09I think you're confusing me for a servant, old woman.
39:13What a chick!
39:14When I become the chief's friend,
39:16I shall have you thrown out of this village forever.
39:18Ah, a nasty, lazy girl she is.
39:24But not for much longer.
39:28Ah, anybody home?
39:33Anybody home?
39:36Who?
39:37Who?
39:37Ah, there!
39:40Ah, sick!
39:43Ah, go away, you ugly monster!
39:45I'm to be the chief's friend!
39:48But Mpunzi was wrong.
39:53No chief would want a lazy, vain and cruel woman to be his friend.
39:58Ah!
39:59Ah!
40:00And with that, the snake swallowed up Mpunzi.
40:05A year passed and no one saw or heard from Mpunzi.
40:10Soon, kind Mpunzi was called to the chief's village.
40:14Greetings, dear tortoise, and how are you on this fine day?
40:24I'm very well, Mpunzi.
40:26If you have come to see the chief, I suggest you take the right path.
40:32Thank you kindly.
40:34I shall do as you suggest.
40:37You're welcome, Mpunzi.
40:39In next to no time, Mpunzi found herself arriving at the chief's village.
40:51Greetings to you, wise one.
40:53My name is Mpunzi, and I have come to help the chief of this village.
41:00Greetings, Mpunzi.
41:01Before you may enter, first grind this wheat to make bread for your chief.
41:09Of course, oh, wise one.
41:11I'd love to.
41:13Unlike her sister Mpunzi, Mpunzi was more than happy to help the wise old woman make bread for the chief.
41:23When the bread was baked, Mpunzi entered the chief's hut.
41:28Greetings, great chief.
41:30I have come as you asked me to.
41:37Oh, great chief.
41:39I have made you bread.
41:47The snake knew that the bread had been made by one who was humble and kind.
41:52You please me, Mpunzi.
41:55You are far too nice and kind for me to eat.
42:01Mpunzi's kindness had lifted the terrible curse,
42:04and the five-headed monster was turned back into the dashing young chief.
42:14Thank you for saving me, Mpunzi.
42:17Oh, you're welcome, chief.
42:19I will do the same for anyone in trouble.
42:21The chief and Mpunzi fell madly in love.
42:25Some years later, they were married, and they both live happily ever after.
42:37That's some story, Mr. Z.
42:41And what does it teach us?
42:44Um, kindness and hard work is better than being nasty and lazy.
42:49And magic can change a man into a five-headed monster.
42:56Surely that isn't real, Mr. Z.
42:59My boy, when we use our imagination, anything is possible.
43:05It really is.
43:09Thanks for speaking to that made me hear, Mr. Zambayas.
43:13I find a new ise-
43:14Yes, that's my boy.
43:16Some boy.
43:17Some boy.
43:17Some boy.
43:17Sounds happy through
43:18Shots.
43:18Yes.
43:18It's good, for friends who have helper that I'm justasp selfie-

43:27It's going there forever.
43:28And yours has nothing.

43:30I know how much.
43:31It's not ìžˆìŁ .
43:32She's not gonna do the very well family,
43:33So long for you.
43:33Here, Mr. Z.
44:02I've found the colour pencils.
44:04Well done, Gigi.
44:06Come on, the children will be here at any moment.
44:10Here they come.
44:12How time flies.
44:14I bet it's going to be fun.
44:16Hello, Mr. Z. Hello, guys.
44:18Hello, Gigi.
44:20Good morning, everyone.
44:24I've got the colour pencils.
44:26Good!
44:28I'm glad everyone is so happy.
44:32Why the long face, Navitha?
44:36It's not my face that's long, Mr. Z.
44:38It's my nose.
44:44I don't see anything wrong with it.
44:46Neither do I.
44:48What a pretty picture.
44:50No, it isn't.
44:52I have a long skinny nose.
44:54Just imagine when I'm older.
44:56It's going to look like an elephant stroke.
44:58Oh, Navitha, of course it won't.
45:02People's noses don't grow that long.
45:04Marcus's nose is two centimetres long.
45:08Yours is only a little over two centimetres.
45:10I told you, Navitha, you don't have a very long nose.
45:14It's a pretty little nose.
45:16Hmph.
45:17All noses are different, aren't they, Mr. Z?
45:18Oh, yes.
45:19And all the people of the world look different, but everyone's special in their own way.
45:32Gee, thanks, Mr. Z. I think I'm kind of pretty. Nearly as pretty as Navitha.
45:38You're just saying that to cheer me up.
45:43Well, I know something that will cheer you up.
45:47What?
45:50Hmph.
45:51Today you're going to colour in and I'm going to tell you a story and together we'll make our own storybook.
45:58Oh, yes, please.
46:01That sounds f-f-fun.
46:05Here you are. A colouring in page for each of you.
46:09And we can use my brand new colour pencils.
46:13Here you go, Marcus.
46:18Yippee!
46:24But, Mr. Z, this is hard. There are only dots on my page.
46:30And on mine.
46:32And mine too, Mr. Z.
46:35Hey, all our pages only have dots.
46:39Well, the secret is to join all those dots and they'll make a picture of an animal.
46:45Oh, I wonder what my animal will be.
46:49I hope mine's a lion.
46:51Awww!
46:52Many, many moons ago, not all Africa's animals looked the way they do today.
47:01The Lion King decided to give them all something special.
47:06The first animal to arrive who needed something special was the eagle.
47:13In those days, eagles couldn't fly.
47:17The eagle wanted to know what present he would be getting.
47:21Hmm.
47:24My eagle needs feathers.
47:26Yes!
47:27Yes!
47:28Of course!
47:29Feathers!
47:30I will give you a coat of feathers!
47:33Roared the King.
47:35Oh, look at this, Mr. Z.
47:37My picture is almost coming alive.
47:40Look at my beautiful bird.
47:42The eagle was very proud of his feathers and flew away to tell all the animals of his new gift.
47:58Navitha, have you finished your picture yet?
48:02Almost, Mr. Z. What do you think of it?
48:05In those days, elephants didn't yet have a long nose or tusks.
48:16What a strange-looking elephant!
48:19Of course!
48:20What elephant really wanted was also to have wings and fly like eagle.
48:26What?
48:27A flying elephant?
48:29Roared the King.
48:31No, thank you very much.
48:35An elephant doesn't look right without a trunk.
48:38It's what makes him so special.
48:40So, the King gave Elephant a beautiful long nose and a set of very strong tusks.
48:48There we go!
48:50What do you think?
48:54Oh, Navitha, your picture is lovely.
49:00Thank you, Josh.
49:01I know, Mr. Z. Elephant was very proud of his nose, eh?
49:10Yeah, there's an elephant in the magic cellar. Save me!
49:15Silly, Gigi.
49:16It's just the sound of your own imagination bringing the picture to life.
49:21Oh, really?
49:22Then Gigi must have a very special imagination indeed.
49:30Mr. Z, what do you think of my picture?
49:33Oh, yes.
49:34Very nice, Marcus.
49:36And just what we need for our story.
49:39The next animal to arrive was also big and rather heavy.
49:45Hey, King! said Rhino.
49:48How about I also get a long nose like Elephant?
49:52Simply out of the question! roared the King.
49:56You'll be needing a short, strong, sharp horn.
50:00One short, sharp, strong horn coming up.
50:03And a little one.
50:05There we go.
50:07And how are you doing, Josh?
50:09Ah!
50:13Goodness!
50:14Gigi's imagination is running away with itself!
50:17I'm almost done, Mr. Z.
50:24Just a few more spots.
50:27Now, once upon a time, Hyena also had a big growl.
50:33And the King of the Beast didn't like that very much at all.
50:37My p-p-picture is a hyena.
50:42Gosh, so it is.
50:44This is ridiculous, King.
50:47You've made all the animals look terrible.
50:49Said Hyena.
50:51What a silly old King you are.
50:53Do I have a special present for you, Mrs. Hyena?
50:58Roared Lion.
51:00Because you're so rude and always mocking me and all the other animals,
51:05I'm going to give you a very silly laugh.
51:09No, no, please don't give me a silly laugh.
51:12Complained Hyena.
51:14I promise I won't laugh at how funny anyone looks.
51:21And again.
51:23Ooh!
51:25Tell it to stop laughing.
51:27It frightens Gigi.
51:29Sorry, Gigi, but it was too late.
51:32Ever since that day, Hyena has had a silly laugh instead of a growl.
51:37I know.
51:39I've seen them on wildlife programs on TV.
51:42They do sound funny.
51:44And you, Paula?
51:47Hmm?
51:48Huh?
51:49Now, the last animal to get a present from the king was the zebra.
51:55In the old days, the zebra didn't have any stripes.
52:00I'm just not sure if I want to be black or if I want to be white.
52:05But white, said Mrs. Zebra.
52:08If I were a zebra, I would want to be black.
52:11Don't be silly, Marcus.
52:13If you were all black, you'd look more like a horse than a zebra.
52:15Hmm.
52:16I have the perfect solution, roared the lion.
52:20You need to be a combination of black and white.
52:25What a clever idea.
52:32I've almost finished coloring in all the stripes, Mr. Z.
52:36What do you think?
52:38Amazing!
52:40Oh, what a nice picture, Pula.
52:42Yes, it's great.
52:43So, Mr. Z, all the animals have something that makes them look special.
52:49And everyone is cool in their own way.
52:52Right, Mr. Z?
52:54They are indeed, no matter what they look like.
52:58So, Nafitha, what do you think of your pretty nose now?
53:02Now what, everyone?
53:04This story has helped me like my nose.
53:07It's the only one I've got.
53:09And it will be a part of me for my whole life.
53:11And we like you just the way you are.
53:15Yeah, our best friend forever.
53:18The most important thing about a nose, you shouldn't poke it into other people's business.
53:24That's right, Gigi.
53:25Nobody likes a nosy Parker, nosing about.
53:30Yes, indeed.
53:34That's excellent, too.
53:35As you can see, children, each animal has something special.
53:46They are all beautiful.
53:48Indeed, yes.
53:49Thanks for telling us a special story, Mr. Z.
53:52Thanks for telling us a special story, Mr. Z.
53:54Sorry, Mr. Z.
53:55Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
54:25Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
