[Music]

hello hello everyone look what I've got

molly what is it Lucy a present for you

[Applause]

Tada dead flowers I don't understand

they were beautiful when I picked them

this morning but flowers need water Lucy

all plants do never mind I'm sure we can

save

them I hope

so this reminds me of a story of my

nephew Nigel and Herbert's

watermelons Nigel had come over for a

visit so I decided to take him for a

walk along the zamb BAM

River Found You

Toby hello there hello Nelson does Nigel

want to come and play hide and seek with

us maybe later Kevin come on Nigel

follow me I'd like you to meet another

of my friends

oh here we are this is my good friend

Herbert the warthog hi hello Herbert

keeping busy I see oh hello Nelson quite

right busy busy one for

you and one for go what's he doing uncle

Nelson today is ripening day the busiest

day in the gardening year but it's worth

it I'll have perfect ripe watermelons

tonight if I do everything properly

wow just got time for a quick

[Music]

tune ah my musical rock this is a design

faster rocks watermelons rocks

watermelons rocks watermelons rocks

what's the problem per loves playing his

musical rocks watermelons rocks I've got

to go and find another one but if I

leave the Watermelons without water

they'll all be

ruined I'll give a whole basket of yum

yam fruit to anyone who will look after

my watermelons while I'm away looking

for a new rock me me me

H are you quite sure Nigel watermelons

are a lot of work on ripening day yeah

yeah yeah easy

peasy really I can do it that's terrific

thank you Nigel now the important thing

is to water them little and often to

keep them juicy and green little and

often yeah yeah yeah if they turn even a

little bit yellow they are completely

ruined yeah just leave it to me good lad

right see you

[Music]

later oh yum yum this is great lots of

delicious fruit for a bit of watering

time to get started nidal remember the

watermelons need water little and often

I know Uncle

Nelson

hello want to play Snakes and Ladders

with us

[Music]

yeah oh I've just got to do something

for her but first don't miss all the

[Music]

fun Nigel watered as quickly as he could

but it still took a long time at lost

Nigel had only just finished and it was

nearly time to start watering again it's

got to be a quicker

[Music]

way yeah that should last for

ages play time here I come

meanwhile after a long walk Herbert

reached the musical Rock Mine got to

find one with just the right

sound too

clunky too

clinky this is going to take longer than

I

[Music]

thought got you

[Music]

how's the watering going nidal are you

doing as Herbert said don't worry Uncle

Nelson everything's under control I've

invented my own secret system for

watering the plants more quickly Nigel

is a very clever boy you know

oh Herbert wasn't having much luck

finding a musical

Rock too clanky not a single good rock

in the whole mine well at least I've got

my watermelons to look forward to as

Herbert started the Long Walk Home Nigel

decided he'd better just check that the

Watermelons were all

[Music]

[Applause]

right that sounds like

Nigel what's the matter

Nigel I promise her but water them and

look dried out like a

stone you're going to get into so much

trouble oh what am I going to tell

herberts I know who might be able to

help but we'll have to tell her what

happened you mean tell the truth mhm

[Music]

so you didn't water Herbert's plants

like he told you

to I didn't think it would matter if I

watered them all in one go maybe I can

help you can have some of my watermelons

Nigel can I really of course you can we

all make mistakes the only trouble is my

watermelons are not as big as herberts

they'll need extra watering to grow in

time time I can do that little and

often little and often I promise and

we'll help won't

[Music]

we Nigel and his friends got to work and

soon Georgina's watermelons had grown

big and juicy

thanks

everyone it was time for Nigel and I to

push the Watermelons to Herbert's

home wow look at those watermelons

they're perfect oh thank you Nigel you

you like them I couldn't have done

better myself thanks Herbert I did just

as you

said in the end but these are from

Georgina's Garden she gave them to me to

ripen because well look my watermelons

they rock hard I'm sorry

Herbert not bad not bad at all you're

going to eat them eat them not in a

million years they break my teeth no no

I'm going to play them huh

oh and a one a two a 1 2 3 4

slice anyone don't mind if I

do and so we all celebrated ripening day

with a grand watermelon

concert that was a great story

sleep good night
